PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Back to Table of Contents

Introduction

American Biogenetic Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is sometimes referred to herein as "we", "us", "our", "Company" and the "Registrant". The Registrant was formed in 1983 for the purpose of researching, developing and marketing cardiovascular and neurobiology products for commercial development and distributing vaccines. The Registrant's products were designed for in vitro and in vivo diagnostic procedures and therapeutic drugs, and its products had been identified for use in the treatment of epilepsy, migraine and mania, neurodegenerative diseases, coronary artery diseases and cancer.  The Registrant commenced selling its products during the last quarter of 1997 but did not generate any sufficient revenues from operations to fund its operating expenses.

On September 19, 2002, the Registrant filed a petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York. On November 4, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved an order authorizing a change in control and provided that the Company, subsequent to the bankruptcy proceeding, is free and clear of all liens, claims and other obligations.

Change in Control following Bankruptcy

The material terms of the transaction confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court authorized Park Avenue Group to appoint new members to the Registrant's board of directors and management, and to change the Registrant's articles of incorporation with respect to the capital stock of the Company. On November 8, 2005, Park Avenue Group appointed Richard Rubin to the board of directors of the Registrant, which then appointed Mr. Rubin to be chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Registrant At present, Mr. Rubin is the Company's sole officer and director ("Management"). On November 29, 2005, the Registrant's board of directors approved an amendment to the Registrant's articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock to 910,000,000 shares, consisting of 900,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001.

Business Objectives of the Registrant

As a result of the bankruptcy proceeding, the Registrant has no present operations. Management determined to direct its efforts and limited resources to pursue and effect a business combination.

    Current trends

Management believes that as a result of the relative uncertainty in the United States equity markets over the past years, many privately-held companies have been closed off from the public market and traditional IPOs. During the past few years, many privately-held as well as public companies attempted to divest non-core assets and divisions and valuations of these assets and divisions have often decreased significantly. Therefore, Management believes that there are substantial business opportunities to effect attractive acquisitions. As a public entity with its shares of common stock registered under the Exchange Act and publicly trading, Management believes to be well positioned to identify target acquisitions and to effect a business combination in order to take advantage of these current trends.

    Effecting a business combination

Prospective purchasers of the Registrant's common stock will invest in the Company without an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any one or more business combinations. A business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which needs to raise substantial additional capital by means of being a publicly traded company, while avoiding what it may deem to be the adverse consequences of undertaking an initial public offering itself. These include time delays, significant expense, loss of voting control and compliance with various Federal and state securities laws. A potential business combination may involve a company which may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth.

    The Registrant has not identified a target business or target industry

The Registrant's effort in identifying a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry and the Company may ultimately acquire a business in any industry Management deems appropriate. To date, the Registrant has not selected any target business or industry on which to concentrate its search for a business combination. While the Registrant intends to focus on target businesses in the United States, we are not limited to those entities and may consummate a business combination with a target business outside of the United States. Accordingly, there is no basis for investors in the Registrant's common stock to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the target business or the particular industry in which we may ultimately operate. To the extent we effect a business combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stage of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, to the extent that we effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, we may be affected by the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes many industries which experience rapid growth. In addition, although the Company's Management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.

    Sources of target businesses

The Registrant anticipates that target business candidates will be brought to our attention from various sources, including broker-dealers, investment bankers, venture capitalists, bankers and other members of the financial community who may present solicited or unsolicited proposals. While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms that specialize in business acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage these firms in the future, in which event we may pay a finder's fee or other compensation. In no event, however, will we pay Management any finder's fee or other compensation for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the consummation of a business combination.

    Selection of a target business and structuring of a business combination

Management has voting control of 69.80% and will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective target business. In evaluating a prospective target business, our Management will consider, among other factors, the following:

- financial condition and results of operation of the target company;
- growth potential;
- experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel;
- capital requirements;
- competitive position;
- stage of development of the products, processes or services;
- degree of current or potential market acceptance of the products, processes or services;
- proprietary features and degree of intellectual property or other protection of the products, processes or services;
- regulatory environment of the industry; and
- costs associated with effecting the business combination.

These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular business combination will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by our Management in effecting a business combination consistent with our business objective. In evaluating a prospective target business, we will conduct a due diligence review which may encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and inspection of facilities, as well as review of financial and other information which will be made available to us.

The time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete the business combination cannot presently be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which a business combination is not ultimately completed will result in a loss to us.

    Probable lack of business diversification

We may seek to effect business combinations with more than one target business, it is probable that we will have the ability to effect only a single business combination. Accordingly, the prospects for our success may be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business. Unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations with entities operating in multiple industries or multiple areas of a single industry, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. By consummating a business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:

- subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to a business combination; and
- result in our dependency upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services.

   Limited ability to evaluate the target business' management

Although we intend to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting a business combination, we cannot assure you that our assessment of the target business' management will prove to be correct. In addition, we cannot assure you that the future management will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company intending to embark on a program of business development. Furthermore, the future role of our directors, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. While it is possible that our sole director will remain associated in some capacity with us following a business combination, it is unlikely that he will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to a business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our director will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.

Following a business combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.

Competition

In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business, we expect to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than the Registrant and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe there are numerous potential target businesses that may be interested in effecting a business combination with a current, reporting public company, Management believes that we may have only very limited ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses because of our limited available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Further, any of these obligations may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. Our management believes, however, that our status as a public entity and potential access to the United States public equity markets may give us a competitive advantage over privately-held entities having a similar business objective as us in acquiring a target business with significant growth potential on favorable terms.

If we succeed in effecting a business combination, there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from competitors of the target business. In particular, certain industries which experience rapid growth frequently attract an increasingly larger number of competitors, including competitors with increasingly greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources than the initial competitors in the industry. The degree of competition characterizing the industry of any prospective target business cannot presently be ascertained. We cannot assure you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources to compete effectively, especially to the extent that the target business is in a high-growth industry.

Employees

Richard Rubin, is our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Mr. Rubin is not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week and intend to devote only as much time as he deems necessary to the Company's affairs. The amount of time he will devote in any time period will vary based on the availability of suitable target businesses to investigate. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.

Conflicts of Interest

The Company's Management is not required to commit its full time to the Company's affairs. As a result, pursuing new business opportunities may require a greater period of time than if Management would devote his full time to the Company's affairs. Management is not precluded from serving as officer or director of any other entity that is engaged in business activities similar to those of the Registrant. In the future, Management may become associated or affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those we intend to conduct. In such event, Management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. In the event that the Company's Management has multiple business affiliations, it may have legal obligations to present certain business opportunities to multiple entities. In the event that a conflict of interest shall arise, Management will consider factors such as reporting status, availability of audited financial statements, current capitalization and the laws of the jurisdictions of the target entities. If several business opportunities or operating entities approach Management with respect to a business combination, Management will consider the foregoing factors as well as the preferences of the incumbent management of the operating company. However, Management will act in what it believes will be in the best interests of the shareholders of the Registrant. The Registrant shall not enter into a transaction with a target business that is affiliated with Management.

Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements

We have registered our securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and have reporting obligations, including the requirement that we file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, our annual reports will contain financial statements audited and reported on by our independent public accountants.

We will not acquire a target business if audited financial statements cannot be obtained for the target business. Our Management believes that the requirement of having available audited financial statements for the target business will limit the pool of potential target businesses available for acquisition.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS Back to Table of Contents

The Company, since emergence from bankruptcy, has very limited operations and resources.

Since the Company emerged from bankruptcy, its operations have been limited to seeking a potential business combinations and has no revenues from operations. Our investors will have no basis upon which to evaluate the Company's ability to achieve the Company's business objective, which is to effect a merger or business combination with an operating business. The Company will not generate any revenues until, at the earliest, after the consummation of a business combination.

Since the Company has not currently selected a particular target industry or target business with which to complete a business combination, the Company is unable to currently ascertain the merits or risks of the business' operations.

Since the Company has not yet identified a particular industry or prospective target business, there is no basis for investors to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the particular industry in which the Company may ultimately operate or the target business which the Company may ultimately acquire. To the extent the Company completes a business combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its development stage, the Company may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business operations of those entities. Although the Company's Management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or target business, the Company cannot assure you that it will properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors. There can be no assurance that any prospective business combination will benefit shareholders or prove to be more favorable to shareholders than any other investment that may be made by shareholders and investors.

Unspecified and unascertainable risks.

There is no basis for shareholders to evaluate the possible merits or risks of potential business combination or the particular industry in which the Company may ultimately operate. To the extent that the Company effects a business combination with a financially unstable operating company or an entity that is in its early stage of development or growth, including entities without established records of revenues or income, the Company will become subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of that financially unstable company. In addition, to the extent that the Company effects a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high degree of risk, the Company will become subject to the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes certain industries that experience rapid growth. Although Management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular business or industry, there can be no assurance that Management will properly ascertain or assess all such risks or that subsequent events may not alter the risks that the Company perceived at the time of the consummation of a business combination.

The Company may issue shares of the Company's common stock and preferred stock to complete a business combination, which would reduce the equity interest of the Company's stockholders and likely cause a change in control of the Company's ownership.

The Company's certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 900,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Company currently has 682,252,091 authorized but unissued shares of the Company's common stock available for issuance and all of the 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock available for issuance. Although the Company currently has no commitments to issue any securities, the Company will, in all likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional shares of its common stock or preferred stock, or a combination of common and preferred stock, in connection with a business combination. To the extent that additional shares of common and/or preferred stock are issued, the Company's shareholders would experience dilution of their respective ownership interests in the Company. The issuance of additional shares of common stock and/or convertible preferred stock may adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock, in the event that an active trading market commences, of which there can be no assurance. The issuance of additional shares of the Company's common stock or any number of shares of the Company's preferred stock:

- may significantly reduce the equity interest of current stockholders;
- will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of the Company's shares of common stock are issued and most likely also result in the resignation of the Company's present officer and director; and
- may adversely affect prevailing market price for the Company's common stock.

Similarly, if the Company issues debt securities, it could result in:
- default and foreclosure on the Company's assets if the Company's operating revenues after a business combination were insufficient to pay the Company's debt obligations;
- acceleration of the Company's obligations to repay the indebtedness even if the Company has made all principal and interest payments when due if the debt security contains covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and any such covenant is breached without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
- the Company's immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand; and
- the Company's inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contains covenants restricting the Company's ability to obtain additional financing while such security is outstanding.

It is likely that the Company's current officer and director will resign upon consummation of a business combination and the Company will have only limited ability to evaluate the management of the target business.

The Company's ability to successfully effect a business combination will be dependent upon the efforts of the Company's Management. The future role of the Company's key personnel in the target business, however, cannot presently be ascertained. Although it is possible that Management will remain associated in some capacity with the target business following a business combination, it is likely that the management of the target business at the time of the business combination will remain in place. Although the Company intends to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business in connection with evaluating the desirability of effecting a business combination, the Company cannot assure you that the Company's assessment of management will prove to be correct.

Dependence on key personnel

The Company is dependent upon the continued services of its officer and director. To the extent that his services become unavailable, the Company will be required to obtain other qualified personnel and there can be no assurance that it will be able to recruit and hire qualified persons at acceptable terms.

The Company's officer and director may allocate his time to other businesses thereby causing conflicts of interest in his determination as to how much time to devote to the Company's affairs. This could have a negative impact on the Company's ability to consummate a business combination.

The Company's officer and director is not required to commit his full time to the Company's affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating his time between the Company's plan of operations and other businesses. The Company does not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination. Management of the Company is engaged in several other business endeavors and is not obligated to contribute any specific number of his hours per week to the Company's affairs. If Management's other business affairs require him to devote more substantial amounts of time to such affairs, it could limit his ability to devote time to the Company's affairs and could have a negative impact on the Company's ability to consummate a business combination.

The Company's officer and director is now, and may in the future become, affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by the Company and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented to.

The Company's officer and director is now, and may in the future become, affiliated with entities, including other companies engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by this Company. Additionally, the Company's officer and director may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to this Company as well as the other entities with which he is or may be affiliated. Additionally, due to the existing affiliations of the Company's officer and director with other entities, he may have a fiduciary obligation to present potential business opportunities to those entities in addition to presenting them to us which could cause additional conflicts of interest. Accordingly, Management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

It is probable that the Company will only be able to enter into one business combination, which will cause us to be solely dependent on such single business and a limited number of products, processes or services.

It is probable that the Company will enter into a business combination with a single operating business. Accordingly, the prospects for the Company's success may be:

- solely dependent upon the performance of a single operating business; or
- dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services.

In this case, the Company will not be able to diversify the Company's operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry.

The Company has limited resources and there is significant competition for business combination opportunities. Therefore, the Company may not be able to enter into or consummate an attractive business combination.

The Company expects to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to the Company's, including venture capital funds, leveraged buyout funds and operating businesses competing for acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess far greater technical, human and other resources than does the Company and the Company's financial resources are very limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While the Company believes that there are numerous potential target businesses that it could acquire, the Company's ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses will be limited by the Company's limited financial resources and the fact that the Company will use its common stock to acquire an operating business. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of far more target businesses than the Company.

The Company may be unable to obtain additional financing, if required, to complete a business combination or to fund the operations and growth of the target business, which could compel the Company to restructure a potential business transaction or abandon a particular business combination.

The Company has not yet identified any prospective target business. If we require funds because of the size of the business combination, we will be required to seek additional financing. We cannot assure you that such financing would be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed to consummate a particular business combination, we would be compelled to restructure the transaction or abandon that particular business combination and seek an alternative target business candidate. In addition, if we consummate a business combination, we may require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of the target business. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the target business. None of the Company's officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after a business combination.

Additional financing requirements associated with compliance with reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.

The Company has no revenues and is dependent upon the willingness of the Company's Management to fund the costs associated with the reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, other administrative costs associated with the Company's corporate existence and expenses related to the Company's business objective. The Company may not generate any revenues until the consummation of a business combination. The Company anticipates that it will have available sufficient financial resources to continue to pay accounting and other professional fees and other miscellaneous expenses that may be required until the Company commence business operations in connection with a business combination. In the event that the Company's available financial resources from its Management prove to be insufficient for the purpose of achieving its business objective through a business combination, the company will be required to seek additional financing. The Company's failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse affect on the Company's ability to pursue a business combination. The Company does not have any arrangements with any bank or financial institution to secure additional financing and there can be no assurance that any such arrangement would be available on terms acceptable and in the Company's best interests. The Company does not have any written agreement with Management to provide funds for the Company's operating expenses.

The Company's officer and director owns 69.80% of issued shares or common stock, a controlling interest in the Company, and thus may influence certain actions requiring stockholder vote.

It is unlikely that there will be an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior to the consummation of a business combination, in which case all of the current director will continue in office at least until the consummation of the business combination. If there is an annual meeting, as a consequence of the controlling interest of the Company's management has broad discretion regarding proposals submitted to a vote by shareholders. Accordingly, the Company's existing director will continue to exert substantial control at least until the consummation of a business combination.

Broad discretion of Management

Any person who invests in the Company's common stock will do so without an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any prospective business combination. As a result, investors will be entirely dependent on the broad discretion and judgment of Management in connection with the selection of a prospective business combination. There can be no assurance that determinations made by the Company's Management will permit us to achieve the Company's business objectives.

Reporting requirements may delay or preclude a business combination

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act, the Company is required to provide certain information about significant acquisitions and other material events. The Company will continue to be required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K, which annual report must contain the Company's audited financial statements. As a reporting company under the Exchange Act, following any business combination, we will be required to file a report on Form 8-K, which report contains audited financial statements of the acquired entity. These audited financial statements must be filed with the SEC within 5 days following the the transaction. While obtaining audited financial statements is typically the responsibility of the acquired company, it is possible that a potential target company may be a non-reporting company with unaudited financial statements. The time and costs that may be incurred by some potential target companies to prepare such audited financial statements may significantly delay or may even preclude consummation of an otherwise desirable business combination. Acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may not be appropriate for acquisition because we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

The Company's shares of common stock are quoted on the Pinksheets, which limits the liquidity and price of the Company's common stock.

The Company's shares of common stock are traded on the Pinksheets. Quotation of the Company's securities on the Pinksheets limits the liquidity and price of the Company's common stock more than if the Company's shares of common stock were listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market or a national exchange. There is currently no active trading market in the Company's common stock. There can be no assurance that there will be an active trading market for the Company's common stock following a business combination. In the event that an active trading market commences, there can be no assurance as to the market price of the Company's shares of common stock, whether any trading market will provide liquidity to investors, or whether any trading market will be sustained.

If the Company is deemed to be an investment company, the Company may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and the Company's activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for the Company to enter into a business combination.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, our activities may be restricted, including:

- restrictions on the nature of the Company's investments; and
- restrictions on the issuance of securities, which may make it difficult for us to complete a business combination.

In addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including:
- registration as an investment company;
- adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and
- reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations.

The Company does not believe that its anticipated activities will subject it to the Investment Company Act of 1940.

The Company may be deemed to have no "Independent Directors", actions taken and expenses incurred by our officer and director on behalf of the Company will generally not be subject to "Independent Review".

Our sole officer and director owns 69.80% of our issued shares of common stock and has accrued compensation for services rendered prior to or in connection with a business combination. He also may be reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in connection with activities on the Company's behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than our board of directors, which consists of one person. Our sole director will not be deemed "independent," he will generally not have the benefit of independent directors examining the propriety of expenses incurred on our behalf and the sums subject to reimbursement. Although the Company believes that all actions taken by our director on the Company's behalf will be in the Company's best interests, the Company cannot assure our shareholders or investors that this will actually be the case. If actions are taken, or expenses are incurred that are actually not in the Company's best interests, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and plan of operations and adversely effect the price of our stock held by the public stockholders.

State blue sky registration; potential limitations on resale of the Company's common stock

The holders of the Company's shares of common stock registered under the Exchange Act and those persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that may develop in the future, should be aware that there may be state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell the Company's securities. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for the Registrant's securities to be a limited one.

It is the intention of the Registrant's Management following the consummation of a business combination to seek coverage and publication of information regarding the Registrant in an accepted publication manual which permits a manual exemption. The manual exemption permits a security to be distributed in a particular state without being registered if the Registrant issuing the security has a listing for that security in a securities manual recognized by the state. However, it is not enough for the security to be listed in a recognized manual. The listing entry must contain (1) the names of issuers, officers, and directors, (2) an issuer's balance sheet, and (3) a profit and loss statement for either the fiscal year preceding the balance sheet or for the most recent fiscal year of operations. Furthermore, the manual exemption is a nonissuer exemption restricted to secondary trading transactions, making it unavailable for issuers selling newly issued securities.

Most of the accepted manuals are those published by Standard and Poor's, Moody's Investor Service, Fitch's Investment Service, and Best's Insurance Reports, and many states expressly recognize these manuals. A smaller number of states declare that they "recognize securities manuals" but do not specify the recognized manuals. The following states do not have any provisions and therefore do not expressly recognize the manual exemption: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin.

Dividends unlikely

The Company does not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future because it has no revenues and no cash. The payment of dividends will be contingent upon the Company's future revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and overall financial conditions. The payment of any future dividends will be within the discretion of the Company's board of directors as then constituted. It is the Company's expectation that future management following a business combination will determine to retain any earnings for use in its business operations and accordingly, the Company does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Our common stock is subject to the Penny Stock Rules of the SEC and the trading market in our common stock is limited, which makes transactions in our common stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our common stock

The Company's common stock is considered a Penny Stock, as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder, unless and until the price of the Company's shares of common stock is at least $5.00. The Company's share price presently is, and prior to any business combination, the share price is expected to be less than $5.00. Unless the Company's common stock is otherwise excluded from the definition of Penny Stock, the Penny Stock rules apply. The Penny Stock rules require a Broker-Dealer prior to a transaction in a Penny Stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about the Penny Stock and the nature and level of risks in the Penny Stock market. The Broker-Dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the Penny Stock, the compensation of the Broker-Dealer and its sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each Penny Stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the Penny Stock rules require that the Broker-Dealer, not otherwise exempt from such rules, must make a special written determination that the Penny Stock is suitable for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the transaction. These disclosure rules have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that is subject to the Penny Stock rules. So long as the common stock is subject to the Penny Stock rules, it may become more difficult to sell such securities. Such requirements could result in reduction in the level of trading activity for the Company's common stock and could make it more difficult for investors to sell the Company's common stock.

General Economic Risks

The Company's current and future business plans are dependent, in large part, on the state of the general economy. Adverse changes in economic conditions may adversely affect the Company's plan of operation and business objective. These conditions and other factors beyond the Company's control include, but are not limited to regulatory changes.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION Back to Table of Contents

Overview

The Company emerged from bankruptcy in November 2005. It discontinued its former business operations as a result of of filing for bankruptcy September 19, 2002. The Company's current business objective is to seek a business combination with an operating company. We intend to use the Company's limited personnel and financial resources in connection with such activities. The Company will utilize its capital stock, debt or a combination of capital stock and debt, in effecting a business combination. It may be expected that entering into a business combination will involve the issuance of restricted shares of capital stock. The issuance of additional shares of our capital stock:

- may significantly reduce the equity interest of our current stockholders;
- will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares are issued, and most likely will also result in the resignation of our present officer and director; and
- may adversely affect the prevailing market price for our common stock.

Similarly, if we issued debt securities, it could result in:
- default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a business combination were insufficient to pay our debt obligations;
- acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made all principal and interest payments when due if the debt security contained covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and any such covenants were breached without a waiver or renegotiation of such covenants;
- our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security was payable on demand; and
- our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contained covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security was outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since emerging from bankruptcy, the Registrant has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues. While we are dependent upon interim funding provided by Management to pay professional fees and expenses, we have no written finance agreement with Management to provide any continued funding. However, we may need to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities if additional administrative funds are required to consummate a business combination that is presented to us. We have no agreements to issue any debt or equity securities and cannot predict whether equity or debt financing will become available at terms acceptable to us, if at all.

There are no limitations in the Company's articles of incorporation on the Company's ability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted common stock to effect a business combination. The Company's limited resources and lack of having cash-generating business operations may make it difficult to borrow funds or raise capital. The Company's inability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted capital stock required to effect or facilitate a business combination may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and future prospects, including the ability to complete a business combination. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowing will subject us to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of any future cash flow to pay principal and interest, including debt of an acquired business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2008, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As of December 31, 2008 we did not have any contractual obligations.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of December 31, 2008, the Company's chief executive officer/chief financial officer conducted an evaluation regarding the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the  Exchange Act. Based upon the evaluation of these controls and procedures, our chief executive officer/chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal year 2008.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of those internal controls. As defined by the SEC, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by our principal executive officer/principal financial officer, who is also the sole member of our Board of Directors, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment and those criteria, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only Management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Back to Table of Contents

Michael F. Cronin
Certified Public Accountant
Rochester, New York

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
American Biogenetic Sciences, Inc.

I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of American Biogenetic Sciences, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. My audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Biogenetic Sciences, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

AMERICAN BIOGENETIC SCIENCES, Inc.
Background and Significant Accounting Policies
December 31, 2008

The Company

American Biogenetic Sciences, Inc. (the "Company", “We” or "ABS") was incorporated in Delaware on September 1, 1983. Prior to filing for bankruptcy under chapter 7, the Company engaged in the research, development and production of bio-pharmaceutical products.

Bankruptcy Proceedings: On September 19, 2002, the Registrant filed a voluntary Chapter 7 petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Eastern District of New York (case no. 02-86689). As a result of the filing, all of our assets. Properties and liabilities were transferred to a United States Trustee and we terminated all of our business operations. The Bankruptcy Trustee has disposed of all substantially of the Company’s assets. On November 4, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved an Order confirming the sale of debtor's interest in personal property to Park Avenue Group, Inc.

Basis of Presentation: We adopted "fresh-start" accounting as of September 20, 2002 in accordance with procedures specified by AICPA Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code. The results of the discontinued component have been reclassified from continuing operations.

Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company considers those short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment New property and equipment are recorded at cost. Property and equipment included in the bankruptcy proceedings and transferred to the Trustee had been valued at liquidation value. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 5 years. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. Expenditures for minor items, repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Gain or loss upon sale or retirement due to obsolescence is reflected in the operating results in the period the event takes place.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets: We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets including equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. Our primary measure of fair value is based on discounted cash flows. The measurement of impairment requires management to make estimates of these cash flows related to long-lived assets, as well as other fair value determinations.

Stock Based Compensation: Stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services.

On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which requires that companies measure and recognize compensation expense at an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments granted under compensation arrangements. Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for our stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, and would typically recognize no compensation expense for stock option grants if options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

We adopted SFAS 123(R) using the “modified prospective” method, which results in no restatement of prior period amounts. Under this method, the provisions of SFAS 123(R) apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption. In addition, compensation expense must be recognized for any unvested stock option awards outstanding as of the date of adoption on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period. We calculate the fair value of options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. We do not currently have any outstanding options subject to future vesting. SFAS 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported in the Statement of Cash Flows as a financing cash inflow rather than an operating cash inflow. In addition, SFAS 123(R) required a modification to the Company’s calculation of the dilutive effect of stock option awards on earnings per share. For companies that adopt SFAS 123(R) using the “modified prospective” method, disclosure of pro forma information for periods prior to adoption must continue to be made.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 28, 2009. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values.

These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.

Earnings per Common Share: Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of options to purchase common stock (only if those options are exercisable and at prices below the average share price for the period) and shares issueable upon the conversion of our Preferred Stock. Due to the net losses reported, dilutive common equivalent shares were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, as inclusion would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

There were no common equivalent shares required to be added to the basic weighted average shares outstanding to arrive at diluted weighted average shares outstanding in 2008 or 2007.

Income Taxes: We must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes.

Deferred income taxes are recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” or SFAS 109. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using the tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. SFAS 109 provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not to occur. Realization of our net deferred tax assets is dependent upon our generating sufficient taxable income in future years in appropriate tax jurisdictions to realize benefit from the reversal of temporary differences and from net operating loss, or NOL, carry forwards. We have determined it more likely than not that these timing differences will not materialize and have provided a valuation allowance against substantially all of our net deferred tax asset. Management will continue to evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax asset and its related valuation allowance. If our assessment of the deferred tax assets or the corresponding valuation allowance were to change, we would record the related adjustment to income during the period in which we make the determination. Our tax rate may also vary based on our results and the mix of income or loss in domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions in which we operate.

In addition, the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. We recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and to the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If we ultimately determine that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, we will reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which we determine that the liability is no longer necessary. We will record an additional charge in our provision for taxes in the period in which we determine that the recorded tax liability is less than we expect the ultimate assessment to be.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R provides additional guidance on improving the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This Statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 160 on our financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Our Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 162 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

Management does not anticipate that the adoption of these standards will have a material impact on the financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008

1. “Fresh Start” Accounting:

On September 19, 2002 all of the Company’s assets were transferred to the chapter 7 trustee in settlement of all outstanding corporate obligations. We adopted "fresh-start" accounting as of September 20, 2002 in accordance with procedures specified by AICPA Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code."

All results for periods subsequent to September 19, 2002 are referred to as those of the "Successor Company". The results of operations and cash flows as presented on the 2002 financial statements reflect the predecessor company. The successor company had no transactions between September 19 and the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2002.

In accordance with SOP No. 90-7, the reorganized value of the Company was allocated to the Company's assets based on procedures specified by SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations". Each liability existing at the plan sale date, other than deferred taxes, was stated at the present value of the amounts to be paid at appropriate market rates. It was determined that the Company's reorganization value computed immediately before September 20, 2002 was $0. We adopted "fresh-start" accounting because holders of existing voting shares immediately before filing and confirmation of the sale received less than 50% of the voting shares of the emerging entity and its reorganization value is less than its post-petition liabilities and allowed claims.

2. Bankruptcy Proceedings:

On September 19, 2002, the Registrant filed a voluntary Chapter 7 petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Eastern District of New York (case no. 02-86689). On November 4, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved an Order confirming the sale of debtor's interest in personal property to Park Avenue Group Inc. The material terms of the transaction confirmed by Bankruptcy Court authorized Park Avenue Group to appoint new members to the Registrant's board of directors and authorized the newly-appointed board of directors to amend the Article of Incorporation with respect to the capital stock of the corporation.

The accounts of the former subsidiaries were not included in the sale and have not been carried forward.

Resultant Change in Control: In connection with the Order confirming the sale of debtor's interest in certain intangible personal property to Park Avenue Group Inc. approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Eastern District of New York on November 4, 2006, the Court authorized a change in control pursuant to which Richard Rubin became our sole director on November 29, 2006, and was appointed CEO by the new board of directors on November 29, 2006. The Court order further provided that the sale was free and clear of liens, claims and interests of others and that the sale was free and clear of any and all other real or personal property interests, including any interests in ABS’s subsidiaries.

3. Income Taxes:

Our net operating loss carryovers available to reduce future income taxes were reduced or eliminated through our bankruptcy proceedings. We have adopted SFAS 109 which provides for the recognition of a deferred tax asset based upon the value the loss carry-forwards will have to reduce future income taxes and management's estimate of the probability of the realization of these tax benefits.

We have a current operating loss carry-forward of $18,000 resulting in deferred tax assets of $6,000. We have determined it more likely than not that these timing differences will not materialize and have provided a valuation allowance against substantially all our net deferred tax asset.

Utilization of federal and state NOL and tax credit carry forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of NOL and tax credit carry forwards before full utilization.

4. Commitments:

The Company, prior to its bankruptcy, was a party to numerous claims and threatened litigation. As a result of the bankruptcy and the subsequent transfer by the Bankruptcy Trustee of the Company’s corporate shell entity free of all liens, claims and encumbrances pursuant to Section 363(f) of the US Bankruptcy Code, the Company is no longer party to any litigation.

The Company is not a party to any leases and does not have any commitments.

5. Stockholders' Equity:

Common Stock

In November, 2005, pursuant to authorization provided by the Court Order, we amended our authorized shares of common stock to 900,000,000 par value $0.0001. All issued shares of common stock are entitled to vote on a 1 share/1 vote basis.
On December 20, 2007 we issued 31,800,000 shares in satisfaction of $31,800 due for services rendered. The shares were valued at $0.01per share which was management’s estimate of fair value at the time of issuance. 30,000,000 of the shares valued at $30,000 were issued to our sole officer and director.

On January 29, 2008 we issued 1,000,000 shares to a private investor for $500 in cash.

Preferred Stock

On November 29, 2005 and pursuant to authority granted to it by the bankruptcy court, the Board cancelled and extinguished all issued and outstanding preferred stock. All related dividends obligations were also extinguished (the elimination of this preferred stock has been reflected in the 2002 financial statements), and authorized 10,000,000 new shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value that may be issued in one or more series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to fix the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the preferred stock and any series thereof pursuant to Section 151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Stock Based Compensation

On November 29, 2005 and pursuant to authority granted to it by the bankruptcy court, the Board cancelled and extinguished all issued and outstanding common stock options and warrants. There are no employee or non-employee options or warrants outstanding or exercisable.

6. Related Party Transactions not Disclosed Elsewhere:

Due related parties and Fair value of services: The principal stockholder provided, without cost to the Company, his services and office space. The total of these expenses was $36,000 and $31,800 for 2008 and 2007, respectively, and was reflected in the statement of operations as general and administrative expenses.
