1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements were
prepared in conformity with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and
regulations, but do not include all information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The statements include the accounts of American
BioMed, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cathlab Corporation (jointly the
"Company"), after elimination of all material intercompany transactions and
accounts. In management's opinion, these interim statements reflect all normal
recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
position, operations results, and cash flows for the three-month period shown.

  First quarter results are not necessarily indicative of full-year patterns.
To gain a more complete understanding of these interim financial statements,
please read the Company's 1999 Form 10-K.


2.  CAPITAL STOCK

  During the first three months of 2000, the Company's outstanding common stock
was increased by a total of







                                      5
<PAGE>

2,090,577 shares. The increase occurred through the conversion of 15,500 Series
D convertible preferred shares and 7,500 Series E convertible shares into
1,617,951 and 472,626 common shares, respectively.

  During the first quarter of 2000, the Company issued to New Millenium Capital
Partners, LLC and AJW Partners, LLC $250,000 and $50,000, respectively, of its
13% Secured Convertible Debentures due April 1, 2000 ("2000 Debentures"), to
raise additional working capital. Offering costs of $30,000, excluding legal
fees, were incurred in the transactions. The 2000 Debentures are convertible
into common stock, and the company agreed to register for resale under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the common shares issuable upon conversion.
The number of shares issuable at conversion shall be equal to the outstanding
principal  balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the lesser of
(a) $.125 or (b) 60% of the average bid price during the 20 trading days
immemdiately prior to the conversion date.

3.  INVENTORIES

  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is
determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories consisted of

4.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  In May 1997, an individual who formerly was Chairman, Chief Scientific
Officer, and a director of the Company filed suit against the Company in the
State District Court of Harris County, Texas. The lawsuit claimed oppressive
action toward a minority shareholder, breach of contract, failure of
consideration for the assignment of certain patent rights, wrongful termination,
and unpaid debts and advances. In October 1998, the suit was settled through an
agreed $400,000 judgment, already paid, and for which a release was filed in
April 1999. The Company additionally agreed to a payment of $200,000 to the
plaintiff, due at such time as the OmniFilter patent might be sold, or, if a
licensing agreement was effected, disbursed as 5% of royalties, until a total of
$200,000 was paid. The $200,000 settlement component is secured by the
OmniFilter patent, but with the security interest subordinated to any lender
requesting such patent as collateral. In April 1999, the Company licensed the
OmniFilter for development and marketing. Subsequently, the plaintiff filed
further suit alleging that the Company anticipatorily breached the agreement to
pay licensing revenues. The Company has filed a response denying the claim. As
of September 1999, royalty expense in the amount of $50,000 has been accrued.

  In August 1997, an individual who formerly was Chief Financial Officer,
Secretary and Treasurer, and a director of the Company filed suit against the
Company in the State District Court of Harris County, Texas.  The lawsuit
alleged breach of contract with respect to a letter agreement executed in
connection with his employment separation and resignation from the Company's
Board and sought monetary damages of approximately $307,000. On August 24, 1998,
the parties reached a settlement through mediation.  The Company paid $2,800 in
cash and, at no cost to the plaintiff, issued stock options to purchase 150,000
of the Company's common shares at an exercise price of $0.6875, with a
guaranteed value of $100,000.  Additionally, the Company executed an agreed
judgment in the amount of $85,000 at 10% interest, payable November 1, 1999.
The judgment, still outstanding, was later amended to include the guaranteed
value shortage in the amount of $70,173 for a total of $155,173.

  In May 1999, the legal firm of Pennie & Edmonds sued the Company claiming
unpaid fees in the amount of $21,424, together with associated costs of $7,140
for representation in the matter.  The case currently is pending in the State
District Court in Harris County, Texas.

  In February 2000, the Company was sued by Bowne of Dallas, Inc. claiming
$137,122 in unpaid printing charges.  The case is pending in the State District
Court of Dallas County, Texas.

  From time to time the Company is a party in other litigation arising in the
course of business.  Management regularly analyzes current information and, as
necessary, provides accrual for probable liabilities for the eventual
disposition of the matter.  In management's opinion,  the ultimate outcome of
these matters will not materially affect the Company's financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.  See also Part II, Item 1, "Legal
Proceedings."

5.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

  On April 17, 2000, AJW Partners, LLC  and New Millenium Capital Partners II,
LLC purchased an aggregate of $250,000 of 2000 Debentures, netting $225,000 in
proceeds.  The 2000 Debentures are convertible into common stock, and the
company agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the common shares issuable upon conversion.  The number of shares
issuable at conversion shall be equal to the outstanding principal balance, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the lesser of (a) $.10 or (b) 60% of the
average bid price during the 20 trading days immediately prior to the conversion
date.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  During the first quarter of 2000, the Company continued its efforts to raise
capital and began focusing on making a transition from a development-stage
entity to one with material revenues.  The Company's March 1999 shift in




                                       7
<PAGE>

producing its silicone catheters and embolectomy devices to MRI, a manufacturing
facility in Tucson, Arizona, under an exclusive licensing agreement, resulted in
production backlogs for the remainder of the year, limiting acceptance of new
orders. Despite increasing output, the backlog continued into the first quarter
of 2000. Quarterly product sales of $64,921, consequently, were 58% of the prior
year's quarterly level. However, the arrangement offers substantial operating
expense reductions, resulting in a 63% year-to-year first quarter reduction in
cost of sales, from $126,671 to $47,317. Thus, the Company realized a $17,604
quarterly gross margin of 27%, in contrast to a 12% gross deficit for the first
quarter of the prior year. Accelerating production will be required to meet
existing shipment backlogs and to sustain customer confidence in placing new
orders.

  Selling, general, and administrative expenses of $309,784 included initial
costs of marketing the OmniCath in Europe, for which CE mark approval for
commercialization was received in November 1999.  General and administrative
expenses were 38% lower than for the prior year's quarterly level of $426,553.
A 23% reduction in year-to-year quarterly sales and marketing expenses was
primarily a function of pacing sales to manufacturing output, as well as a
reflection of limitations in capital availability for promotional activities.

  During the first quarter of 2000, research and development expenses were
limited to $3,913, a decrease of almost 90% from the prior year's level.  The
change partly reflects the April 1999 licensing of the Company's OmniFilter
technology, to be used in carotid angioplasty procedures.  Though resulting in a
shift of developmental costs to IntraTherapeutics, Inc., under the arrangement
the Company will be eligible for worldwide royalties upon commercialization of
the product.  The Company anticipates future increased research and development
expenses for clinical trials prerequisite to United States market approval for
the OmniCath, contingent on availability of capital.

  Interest expense for the quarter increased 21% to $78,129, compared with
$61,320 for the first three months of 1999.  The change reflects increased
borrowing and debt and litigation settlements.

  Other income of $62,500 represents an increase of 317% from the comparable
quarterly period in 1999.  The preponderance of the difference is comprised of
licensing fees under the company's manufacturing licensing agreement with MRI.

  In association with the above-discussed changes, during the quarter, the
Company's net loss declined to $311,712 from a loss of $581,146 during the
comparable period in 1999.  The change reflects a reduction of over 46%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  At March 31, 2000, the Company had a working capital deficiency of
$32,003,353, compared to $31,691,641 at December 31, 1999.  Net cash used in
operating activities of $310,630 was 9% less than during the same period of
1999.  Financing activities provided cash of $283,880 and was favorably impacted
by issuance of the 2000 Debentures.

  On April 1, 2000 the company became in default under its 2000 Debentures.
Upon the default date the aggregate face value liability was $1,000,000.

  The Company requires significant additional funds to move from a development-
stage to a fully-operating entity. Uses of funds for such a transition would
include effecting sales and marketing arrangements, extending manufacturing and
distribution activities, and undertaking research and development for
commercializing the OmniCath for peripheral and A-V fistula use.  The Company
actively is seeking additional financing through private debt or equity
arrangements.  In the event such funding is not secured, research and
development projects and operating activities would be delayed or curtailed and
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's performance.  To continue
as a going concern, the company must attract additional capital to redeem the
2000 Debentures or otherwise cure the default and, ultimately, must achieve
profitable operations.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
- -------------------------

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

  In March 2000, Prudential Residential Securities, Limited Partnership, d/b/a
Prudential Relocation filed a lawsuit against the Company in the State District
Court of Harris County.  The suit seeks payment of $58,207.41 for services
provided, plus interest and costs of the suit.  Prudential Relocation's fees
were incurred during 1997 and 1998 in conjunction with sale of the residence of
the Company's former President & Chief Executive Officer, Steven B. Rash.

<PAGE>

  Additional pending legal matters are described in Note 5 to the Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements, "Commitments and Contingencies.

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

  On April 1, 2000 the Company became in default under its 2000 Debentures.
Under such a default, the Company must pay 120% of the principal amounts owing,
as well as accrued unpaid interest.  Upon the default date, the aggregate face
value liability for the 2000 Debentures was $1,000,000.  The Company is
pursuing financing arrangements that would enable it to address its obligations
under the 2000 Debentures.  However, there can be no assurance that such
discussions will eventuate in proceeds satisfactory to cure the default events,
and a failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
liquidity and capability to continue as a going concern.
