                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the  opinion  of  the  Company,  the  accompanying  unaudited  condensed
financial  statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  of  only  normal
accruals)  necessary to present fairly the condensed balance sheet as of October
31, 1996 and the related  statements of  operations  and deficit for each of the
six months in the period ended October 31, 1995 and 1996.

     NOTE B--EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings  per share  have  been  computed  on the basis of total  number of
shares  outstanding.  The total number of shares outstanding at October 31, 1995
and 1996 was 12,565,227 for each period.

     NOTE B--COMMITMENTS and CONTINGENT LIABILIES

     a. Leased Office Space

     The Company leases 2,200 square feet of office and warehouse  space from an
unrelated party on a month to month basis at $400 per month.

     b. Lawsuits

     1. In  February,  1994,  Robert  Friedenberg,  as owner of the two  medical
technology  companies,  MDI and Gendex,  acquired by the Company, in the name of
these corporations, filed suit to have the Share Exchange Agreement rescinded on
the grounds of breach of contract.  In order to avoid the  imposition of damages
against  it,  the  Company  filed  cross  claim,  in  July,  1994,  against  Dr.
Friedenberg,  seeking enforcement of the Share Exchange Agreement.  In November,
1995, after a trial, the court dismissed Dr.  Friedenberg's  lawsuit and allowed
the  Company's  cross claim to proceed to trial.  The Company  never  issued any
Common Shares to Dr.  Friedenberg  pursuant to the Share Exchange  Agreement and
has rescinded the transaction.

     2. In June,  1995, the Company filed a lawsuit against Jackson Morris,  Dr.
Friedenberg's  counsel,  for the breach of attorney-client  relationship and his
fiduciary duty and negligence in representing the Company in matters relating to
Dr.  Friedenberg  and in the  preparation of the Share Exchange  Agreement.  The
Company's lawsuit demands damages in the amount of $1,000,000.

     NOTE C--Preferred Stock

     The Company  amended  its  certificate  of  incorporation  authorizing  the
issuance of 5,000,000  shares of preferred  stock $.01 par value each. The board
of directors of the Company has the  authority,  without  further  action by the
holders of the outstanding Common Shares, to issue preferred shares from time to
time in one or more classes or series, to fix the number of shares  constituting
any class or series and the stated  value  thereof,  if  different  from the par
value,  and to fix the terms of any such  series or  class,  including  dividend
rights,  dividend rates, con version or exchange rights,  voting rights,  rights
and terms of redemption  (including  sinking fund  provisions),  the  redemption
price and the liquidation preference of such class or series.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The Company sold 150 8% Cumulative  Convertible  Series A Preferred  Shares
for an aggregate of $1,500,000  ($10,000 per share) less  commissions of $90,000
and $5,000 in offering  expenses for a net  consideration  of  $1,405,000.  Each
Preferred  Share is  convertible  into Common  Shares  pursuant to the following
formula:  $10,000  divided by the  lesser of $6.07 or 75% of the  average of the
daily  closing bid prices for the five  consecutive  trading  days ending on the
trading day prior to the day on which  preferred  shares are converted to Common
Shares.  All accrued but unpaid  dividends are payable in cash.  The Company has
agreed to register the Common Shares  underlying the preferred shares within 180
days of the date of purchase, September 23, 1996.

     The  Company  has  reserved  a maximum  of  600,000  Common  Shares for the
conversion of Preferred Shares.

     The Company has issued 24,712 Common Share purchase warrants.  The Warrants
are exercisable at $6.07 per share for a period of two years from the date of an
effective registration statement relating to the underlying Common Shares.

     On July 23, 1996, the Company filed a registration  statement on Form 10-SB
pursuant  to  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934  ("Exchange  Act").  That
registration  statement became effective on September 21, 1996 and, as a result,
the Company is subject to the  informational  requirements of said act and files
reports,  proxy  statements,  and  other  information  with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission.

     The Company is involved in the preparation of offering  documents  relating
to a  registration  statement  on Form SB-2 the  purpose of which is to register
600,000  Common Shares  underlying  the  conversion of the Preferred  Shares and
24,712 underlying the exercise of the Warrants.

NOTE D -- Secured Loan

     On March 9, 1990,  the Company  entered into an security  agreement  with a
finance  company  (the  "Finance  Company"),  to  borrow  money  secured  by the
Company's  receivables  evidenced  by  invoices.  At the time,  the  Company was
engaged in selling  educational  books to municipal  school districts and public
libraries  throughout the United States.  The Finance  Company agreed to lend an
amount equal to 60% of the net value of all the Company's  accounts  receivable.
Accounts receivable funding ceased as of July 31, 1990.

                         AMERICAN BIO MEDICA CORPORATION
                          (A Development Stage Company)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The Company  instituted a lawsuit  against the Finance  Company on November
26, 1990 for damages  due to its failure  lend to the 60% credit  limit based on
its calculations and for forgiveness of the loan based on the Finance  Company's
charging,  based on its own billings,  at an interest rate in excess of the rate
of 25% per annum as  prescribed  in the sections  dealing with usury in New York
Penal State Law.  Although  company  counsel  had opined that the Company  would
prevail in the action and that all indebtedness incurred in the principal amount
$126,500  plus  interest  and fees  would be voided  by  reason  of the  Finance
Company's  violation  of the usury  provisions  of the Penal Law,  by  agreement
between the Company and the Finance Company,  the lawsuit was withdrawn  without
prejudice as the Company,  at that time,  lacked the  resources  for  protracted
litigation.  In April,  1996,  the  obligation,  if any, to the Finance  Company
became barred by New York State's six-year statute of limitations.  The Board of
Directors of the Company has elected to write-off the obligation.

     NOTE E -- Nonstatutory Option Plan

     The Company has adopted the Fiscal 1996 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan").  2,000,000  Common  Shares were  reserved  under the Plan.  The Plan is
administered by the Board of Directors.

     Stock  options  under  the  Plan may be  granted  to  employees,  officers,
directors,  consultants  of the  Company  or any other  parties  who have made a
significant  contribution  to the  business  and  success  of the  Company.  The
exercise  price  under  the  Plan may be  more,  equal to or less  than the then
current market price of the Common Shares as deemed to be appropriate.

     As of July 31, 1995, the Company has issued  1,500,000  options pursuant to
the 1996  Nonstatutory  Option Plan. All options are exercisable for a period of
three years at $3.00 per share. The company has reserved 1,500,000 Common Shares
for the exercise of these options.

     NOTE F -- Public Relations Agreement

     In  February,  1996,  the  Company  entered  into  an  agreement  with  OTC
Communications   ("OTC")  for  financial  public  relations  and  communications
services to the Company and to serve when requested as the Company's liaison and
spokesman to the financial and investment community. In March, 1996, the Company
granted to OTC the right to receive 100,000 Common Shares at a value of $.65 per
share for a total  consideration of $65,000 in lieu of initial payment,  monthly
retainers or expense reimbursement,  including  communications and mailing for a
period of one year and 550,000 Common Shares for years 2 and 3 under  Regulation
D to the Securities Act at a consideration  of $.325 per share  representing 1/2
the market  price of the Common  Shares at the date of the  Contract,  March 14,
1996,  50,000  shares  allocated  to expense  reimbursement  and 500,000  shares
allocated  to  public  relations  consulting.  The  Company  agreed to value the
550,000  shares  at  1/2  market  price  in   consideration   of  OTC  receiving
unregistered  Common Shares and the risk of the holding period until they may be
sold publicly.  Certificates  representing the 100,000 Common Shares were issued
in July,  1996. As of October 31, 1996,  certificates  representing  the 550,000
Common Shares had been authorized but not issued.

     The  Company  has also  issued to OTC  500,000  "A"  Options  which are are
exercisable  at $1.00 through March 14, 1999 and 500,000 "B" Options,  which are

Commission or an exemption therefrom.

     ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS  (April 10, 1986) to October 31, 1996 

Development  Stage Activities
- -----------------------------

     Until 1991,  the Company was  involved in marketing  educational  books and
software to schools and municipal libraries and audiovisual educational packages
throughout the United States.  In 1991, the Company reduced its concentration on
this market because of competition,  increasing costs of doing business and slow
collections from municipalities and sought new technologies in emerging markets.
The Company has continued one small  segment of its original  business,  that of
selling  audiovisual  packages to libraries.  The Company has been a development
stage  enterprise since its date of business  reformulation  in September,  1992
when the Company  entered the  biotechnology  field through the  acquisition  of
technologies of three companies.  Subsequently,  the acquisition of two of these
companies was rescinded.  With the technology  gained through the acquisition of
Protein Resources, Inc., the development of proprietary drug testing technology,
and the  employment  of medical and marketing  specialists  in the field of drug
testing,  the Company has  developed  products,  field and market  tested  these
products,  applied for patents and copyrights and has begun initial shipments of
product.  These  activities  have been funded  through  the sale of  convertible
debentures  aggregating  $1,407,000.   As  of  October  31,  1996,  all  of  the
convertible  debentures  had been  converted to Common Shares at $.75 per share.
The  Company has not as yet  generated  sufficient  revenues  during its limited
operating  history to meet its ongoing  operating  expenses.  The  Company  sold
additional  convertible debentures for $18,500 and received $175,000 through the
exercise of 143,000 "A"  warrants at $1.00 and 32,000 "B"  warrants at $1.00 per
share. As of September 30, 1996, the Company also sold 150 shares of convertible
preferred  shares  at  $10,000  per  share  for an  aggregate  consideration  of
$1,500,000  and net proceeds of  $1,405,000. 

     Results of Operations for the six months ended October 31, 1996 as compared
to the six months ended October 31, 1995.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Revenues  from the book segment of the  business  were $82,416 for the year
six months  ended  October  31,  1995 as  compared to $17,123 for the six months
ended  October  31,  1996  representing  a decrease  of  $65,293 or 79.2%.  This
decrease in book sales is directly attributable to the Company's  reorganization
of its  telemarketing  activities.  Costs of goods sold for the six months ended
October  31, 1995 were  $26,373 as  compared to $5,565 for the six months  ended
October 31, 1996  representing a cost of goods sold percentage of 32.0 % for the
six months ended  October 31, 1995 as compared to 32.5% for the six months ended
October 31,  1996.  Revenues  from the initial  sales of drug  testing kits were
$31,464 for the six months ended  October 31, 1996.  Costs of goods sold for the
six months ended October 31, 1996 was $20,213 or 64.2%. This high level of costs
of  materials  is  the  result  of  initial   shipments  of  drug  testing  kits
manufactured in small lots of materials and supplies. General and administrative
costs for the six months ended  October 31, 1996 were  $336,113,  an increase of
504% over expenses of $66,672 for the six months ended  October 31, 1995.  These
increased costs are the result of increased labor costs for office personnel and
consulting expenses of $75,000. Research and development expenses of $66,750 for
the six months  ended  October 31, 1996  decreased by $31,651 or 32.2% less than
the amount  expended of $98,401 for the six months ended October 31, 1995.  This
decrease in expenses is the result of gradual  completion of  development of the
products drug testing delivery system, experimentation and improvement of active
ingredient test chemicals, laboratory and field trial testing.

     Liquidity  And  Capital  Resources  As Of The End Of Fiscal  Period  Ending
October 31, 1996.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     The Company's  cash balance was $188,479 with  $1,411,866 in treasury bills
and  certificates  of deposit  invested  for six months and working  capital was
$1,671,774 as at October 31, 1996. These balances are the result of the sale and
conversion of  additional  convertible  debentures  for $18,500 and has received
$175,000  through the  exercise of 143,000 "A"  warrants at $1.00 and 32,000 "B"
warrants at $1.00 per share.  As of October 31, 1996,  the Company also sold 150
shares of  convertible  preferred  shares at $10,000 per share for an  aggregate
consideration of $1,500,000.  The Company has expended  $631,936 to date for the
research and development of its biomedical products.

     Management believes that the present cash balance will pay the ongoing cost
of entering the workplace drug testing business.  Management believes that until
profitable operations are achieved, the Company must expend resources (albeit on
a decreasing  basis) on research and  development,  design and  marketing of its
workplace drug test kit.

                                     PART II

                                OTHER INFORMATION

     Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

     1. In  February,  1994,  Robert  Friedenberg,  as owner of the two  medical
technology  companies,  MDI and Gendex,  acquired by the Company, in the name of
these corporations, filed suit to have the Share Exchange Agreement rescinded on
the grounds of breach of contract.  In order to avoid the  imposition of damages
against  it,  the  Company  filed  cross  claim,  in  July,  1994,  against  Dr.
Friedenberg,  seeking  enforcement  of the  Agreement of Exchange.  In November,
1995, after a trial, the court dismissed Dr.  Friedenberg's  lawsuit and allowed
the  Company's  cross claim to proceed to trial.  The Company  never  issued any
Common Shares to Dr.  Friedenberg  pursuant to the Share Exchange  Agreement and
has rescinded the transaction.

     2. In June,  1995, the Company filed a lawsuit against Jackson Morris,  Dr.
Friedenberg's  counsel,  for the breach of attorney-client  relationship and his
fiduciary duty and negligence in representing the Company in matters relating to
Dr.  Friedenberg  and in the  preparation of the Share Exchange  Agreement.  The
Company's lawsuit demands damages in the amount of $1,000,000.

     Item 2. Changes in Securities

     The Company  amended  its  certificate  of  incorporation  authorizing  the
issuance of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock,  $.01 par value each. The board
of directors of the Company has the  authority,  without  further  action by the
holders of the outstanding Common Shares, to issue preferred shares from time to
time in one or more classes or series, to fix the number of shares  constituting
any class or series and the stated  value  thereof,  if  different  from the par
value,  and to fix the terms of any such  series or  class,  including  dividend
rights, dividend rates, conversion or exchange rights, voting rights, rights and
terms of redemption  (including  sinking fund provisions),  the redemption price
and the liquidation preference of such class or series.

     The Company sold 150 convertible preferred shares for $10,000 per share for
an aggregate  consideration of $1,500,000 less $90,000 in commissions and $5,000
in offering expenses for a net consideration of $1,405,000. Each Preferred Share
is convertible  into Common Shares  pursuant to the following  formula:  $10,000
divided by the lesser of $6.07 or 75% of the  average of the daily  closing  bid
prices for the five consecutive  trading days ending on the trading day prior to
the day on which  Preferred  Shares are converted to Common Shares.  All accrued
but unpaid dividends are payable in cash. The Company has agreed to register the
Common Shares  underlying  the  preferred  shares within 180 days of the date of
purchase, September 23, 1996.

     The  Company  has  reserved  a maximum  of  600,000  Common  Shares for the
conversion of Preferred Shares.

     The Company has issued 24,712 Common Share purchase warrants.  The Warrants
are exercisable at $6.07 per share for a period of two years from the date of an
effective registration statement relating to the underlying Common Shares.

     On July 23, 1996, the Company filed a registration  statement on Form 10-SB
pursuant  to  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934  ("Exchange  Act").  That
registration  statement became effective on September 21, 1996 and, as a result,
the Company is subject to the  informational  requirements of said act and files
reports,  proxy  statements,  and  other  information  with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission.

     The Company is involved in the  preparation of a registration  statement on
Form SB-2 the purpose of which is to register  600,000 Common Shares  underlying
the conversion of the Preferred  Shares and 24,712 Common Shares  underlying the
exercise of the Warrants.
