KINDERHOOK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 16, 2019 / American Bio Medica Corporation ABMC today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2018.

Chief Executive Officer, Melissa A. Waterhouse stated, "Sales in 2018 were significantly impacted by the loss of a large government account in the last quarter of 2017. Going forward into 2019, we are seeing sales from the new contracts we signed in the latter part of 2018. In 2019, we also expect to expand the markets where we sell our oral fluid drug tests and we are already offering additional products via distribution relationships."

Waterhouse continued, "Financial results in 2018 were also impacted by inventory disposals and further adjustments to our inventory reserve. From an expense perspective, we continued to maintain a reasonable level of expenses relative to sales; this will continue into 2019."
