Overview
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 17, 1999 under the name Cellway Ventures Inc. On February 25, 2004, we changed the name of our company to "Acrongenomics, Inc.".
We are a development stage company focusing on investing and commercializing novel technology platforms concerning the life sciences sector. We are presently engaged in the business of the development of BioLED Technology, combining microfluidics and polymer Light Emitting Diodes (pLED) for use in future Point-of-Care diagnostic devices. On May 23, 2007, we entered into an amended Development Agreement with Molecular Vision Limited, a research company registered in London, England. Molecular Vision Limited, has developed, within their fields of research at Imperial College in London, UK, a technology platform combining microfluidics with an optical detection system based on polymer Light Emitting Diodes (commonly referred to as pLED) to deliver potentially affordable, intelligent and readily portable Point-Of-Care (POC) medical diagnostic devices. The technology platform combining microfluidics and pLED is known as "BioLED Technology". Under the amended Development Agreement with Molecular Vision Limited, we acquired the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize the existing intellectual properties related to the BioLED Technology and have first refusal rights to develop any additional applications derived from Molecular Vision's pipeline. As consideration for the rights we acquired in the agreement, we agreed to pay a total £2,325,000 and grant 2,000,000 options at an exercise price of $0.50 to Molecular Vision Limited.
Over the next 12 months we will continue to work with Molecular Vision Limited to develop the prototype Point-of-Care testing device for diabetes management and cardiovascular testing. Presently we are working with Molecular Vision Limited and Pearson Matthews, a specialist design development company, and expect by the end of 2008 or early 2009 we will fabricate our final prototype Point-of-Care device which will be used for the detection of albumin and creatinine in urine (in order to perform multiple testing on the device), as well as the detection of myoglobin (cardiac marker) first in solution and then in whole blood. When we are ready to begin regulatory activities, we may begin the process by determining exactly what we need to do and who we need to contact, for submitting all relevant files to the Food and Drug Administration for approval.
We have incurred operating losses since inception, have not generated any revenues, and have not achieved profitable operations. Our deficit accumulated during the development stage through June 30, 2008 aggregated $25,956,310 . We have incurred net losses as a result of our operation expenses, including research and development expenses and the payment of our audit fees and legal fees. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase as we intend to conduct detailed development of our first prototype Point-of-Care diagnostic device and work towards its completion.
We estimate our expenses in the next 12 months will be approximately $1,920,000, generally falling in two major categories: $ 3,000,000 in research and development expenses and $1,620,000 in general and administrative expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current Assets $ 156,606 $ 365,975 209,369
Current Liabilities $ 1,205,479 $ 1,614,170 408,691

We had cash on hand of $56,553 as at June 30, 2008, compared with $343,695 as at December 31, 2007. We had a working capital deficit of $1,048,873 at June 30, 2008, compared to a working capital deficit of $1,248,195 as at December 31, 2007.
We do not currently have sufficient amount of cash to satisfy our cash requirements for the next 12 months. We expect to seek additional funds through equity or debt financing, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners, and from other sources. We may not be able to obtain any additional financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all, or we may not raise as much as we need. If adequate additional funds are not available when required, we will have to delay, scale-back or eliminate some of our research or development activities or some other aspects of our operations and our business will be materially and adversely affected. If we raise additional funds through the sale of our equity securities, existing shareholders will experience a dilution of their interest in our company. Obtaining commercial loans or related party loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
