NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
June 30, 2008 |
(Stated in US Dollars) |
(Unaudited) |
Note 1 | Interim Reporting |
| |
| While the information presented in the accompanying interim six months financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the Company’s December 31, 2007 annual financial statements. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2007 annual financial statements. |
| |
Note 2 | Nature of Operations and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern |
| |
| The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA on August 17, 1999 as Cellway Ventures Inc. Effective February 25, 2004, the Company changed its name to Acrongenomics, Inc. |
| |
| The Company is in the development stage. The Company’s business is research and development in the field of life science including BioLED technology. |
| |
| These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2008, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $18,116,310 since its inception, has a working capital deficiency of $1,048,873 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available. |

| The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black- Scholes option valuation model with the assumptions noted below. The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and therefore, the Black-Scholes model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s share purchase options. |
| | | June 30, 2008 | | | December 31, 2007 | |
| | | | | | | |
| Expected dividend yield | | 0.0% | | | 0.0% | |
| Expected volatility | | 82.53% – 94.36% | | | 83.0% - 90.8% | |
| Risk-free Interest Rate | | 3.57% – 4.80% | | | 4.04% – 4.81% | |
| Term in years | | 10.0 | | | 5.0 – 10.0 | |
| Fair value | $ | 0.33 - $0.64 | | $ | 0.33 - $1.01 | |
The expected volatility is calculated based on the Company’s historical share price and the expected term in years is calculated using the Simplified Method as defined in SAB 107.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company granted a consultant and directors and officers of the Company 1,300,000 stock options with a total fair value of $777,500 (no compensation expense has been recorded for the 2,000,000 options granted as their vesting is contingent upon performance). As the 1,300,000 stock options have a graded vesting schedule, the total non-cash compensation cost recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $365,743 ($209,926 has been included in consulting fees and $155,817 has been included in management fees).
Share subscriptions
At June 30, 2008, the Company had received $50,000 pursuant to share subscription agreements for 125,000 units at $0.40 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant exercisable into one additional common share of the Company for $0.75 for a period of two years from the date of issuance. These shares were issued subsequent to June 30, 2008.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors”, that may cause our company’s or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares of our capital stock.
As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, and “Acrongenomics” refer to Acrongenomics, Inc., unless otherwise indicated.
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.
- 21 -
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
| | June 30, 2008 | | | December 31, 2007 | | | Change | |
Current Assets | $ | 156,606 | | $ | 365,975 | | | 209,369 | |
Current Liabilities | $ | 1,205,479 | | $ | 1,614,170 | | | 408,691 | |
Working Capital Surplus (Deficit) | $ | (1,048,873 | ) | $ | (1,248,195 | ) | | 199,322 | |
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.
Results of Operations
Revenue
We have earned no revenue since our inception. We are still in the development stage and do not anticipate earning any revenues until such time as we can establish an alliance with targeted companies to market or distribute the results of our research projects.

Consulting fees increased by $297,970 for the three month period ended June 30.
Legal fees decreased by $1,357 for the three month period ended June 30.
Management fees increased by $245,471 for the three month period ended June 30.
Research and development fees decreased by $598,645 for the three month period ended June 30, and was due to no activity in this area.
For the next 12 months, we estimate that our research and development expenses will be approximately $300,000.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the next 12 months, we estimate that our general and administrative expenses will be approximately $1,620,000. These expenses will include approximately $1,020,000 on consulting, stock-based compensation and investor relations, approximately $360,000 on office supplies, office rent, travel and accommodations and $240,000 on professional fees, which consist primarily of accounting, auditing fees for the year-end audit and legal fees for securities advices, directors liability insurance and cost of fundraising.
We do not expect to generate any revenues in the next 12 months. Our future products will likely not be ready for sale for at least one year, if at all.
- 23 -
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), our company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d‑15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Controls and procedures are designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our managemen t, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In performing the evaluation, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control processes regarding information technology systems. These weaknesses include inadequate security, inadequate restricted access to systems and insufficient disaster recovery plans. Management has also identified material weaknesses in our internal control processes over procurement and disbursements, primarily related to lack of segregations of duties.
More specifically, management has identified the following weaknesses:
- Our company does not have a code of conduct or ethics;
- Our company’s audit committee has no charter outlining duties and responsibilities;
- Our company does not have Human Resources policies and Procedures and Function Activities are not clearly defined;
- Our company does not have a specific Mission Statement or Key Performance indicators;
- Tax returns have not been filed for our company. These are nil returns, as our company has not achieved profitability yet.
We have not yet been able to remediate the minor weaknesses identified above. We plan to implement changes in disclosure controls and procedures during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 in order to mitigate existing weaknesses.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
- 24 -
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”. Such forward looking statements include any projections and estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements” involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”.
- 25 -
Shares of our common stock are speculative, especially since we are in the development stage of our new business. We operate in a volatile sector of business that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Other risks and uncertainties, including those that we do not currently consider material, may impair our business. If any of the risks discussed below actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below.
Risks Related To Our Business
We have not earned any revenues since our incorporation and only have a limited operating history in our current business of developing our proprietary BioLED Technology, which raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our company has a limited operating history in our current business of developing Point-of-Care testing devices based on our proprietary BioLED Technology and must be considered in the development stage. We have not generated any revenues since our inception and we will, in all likelihood, continue to incur operating expenses without significant revenues until we successfully develop our BioLED Technology and commercialize our future Point-of-Care testing devices. Our primary source of funds has been the sale of our common stock. We cannot assure that we will be able to generate any significant revenues or income. These circumstances make us dependent on additional financial support until profitability is achieved. There is no assurance that we will ever be profitable, and we have a going concern note as described in an explanatory paragraph to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Our likelihood of profit depends on our ability to develop and commercialize products based on our BioLED Technology, which is currently in the development stage. If we are unable to complete the development and commercialization of our future Point-of-Care testing devices successfully, our likelihood of profit will be limited severely.
Our BioLED Technology is in the development stage and we have not begun the regulatory approval process. We have not realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will realize any profits in the short or medium term. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon successful commercialization of our future Point-of-Care testing devices, which will require significant additional research and development as well as clinical trials.
If we encounter problems or delays in the research and development of our BioLED Technology and our future Point-of-Care testing devices, we may not be able to raise sufficient capital to finance our operations during the period required to resolve the problems or delays.
We, and any of our potential collaborators, may encounter problems and delays relating to research and development, regulatory approval and intellectual property rights of our technology. Our research and development programs may not be successful. Our BioLED Technology and our future Point-of-Care testing devices may not prove to be safe and efficacious in clinical trials. If any of these events occur, we may not have adequate resources to continue operations for the period required to resolve the issue delaying commercialization and we may not be able to raise capital to finance our continued operation during the period required for resolution of that issue. Accordingly, we may be forced to discontinue or suspend our operations.
- 26 -
We need to raise additional financing to support the research and development of the BioLED Technology but we cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms favourable to us when needed. If we are unable to obtain additional financing to meet our needs, our operations may be adversely affected or terminated.
Our ability to continue to develop the BioLED Technology and commercialize our future Point-of-Care testing devices is dependent upon our ability to raise significant additional financing when needed. If we are unable to obtain such financing, we will not be able to fully develop our technology and commercialize our future Point-of-Care testing devices. Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including:
- continued scientific progress in our research and development programs;
- costs and timing of conducting clinical trials and seeking regulatory approvals and patent prosecutions;
- competing technological and market developments;
- our ability to establish additional collaborative relationships; and
- the effect of commercialization activities and facility expansions if and as required.
We have limited financial resources and to date, no cash flow from operations and we are dependent for funds on our ability to sell our common stock, primarily on a private placement basis. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on that basis in light of factors such as the market demand for our securities, the state of financial markets generally and other relevant factors. Any sale of our common stock in the future will result in dilution to existing stockholders. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we will not incur debt in the future, that we will have sufficient funds to repay our future indebtedness or that we will not default on our future debts, jeopardizing our business viability. Finally, we may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet our needs or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to conduct the development of our BioLED Technology and commercialization of our future Point-of-Care testing devices, which might result in the loss of some or all of your investment in our common stock.
If we fail to obtain and maintain required regulatory approvals for our BioLED Technology and our potential Point-of-Care testing devices, our ability to commercialize the BioLED Technology will be limited severely.
We must obtain the approval from the Food and Drug Administration and respective European regulatory bodies prior to the commercialization of our future Point-of-Care testing devices. We may also be required to obtain additional approvals from foreign regulatory authorities to commence our marketing activities in those jurisdictions. If we cannot demonstrate the safety, reliability and efficacy of our BioLED Technology, the Food and Drug Administration or other regulatory authorities could delay or withhold regulatory approval of our technology and our potential products.
Furthermore, even if we obtain regulatory approval, that approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which they may be marketed. Even after granting regulatory approval, the Food and Drug Administration, other regulatory agencies, and governments in other countries will continue to review and inspect marketed products, manufacturers and manufacturing facilities. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, manufacturer or facility may result in restrictions on the product or manufacturer, including a withdrawal of the product from the market. Further, governmental regulatory agencies may establish additional regulations which could prevent or delay regulatory approval of our technology and our future Point-of-Care testing devices.
- 27 -
Even if we obtain regulatory approvals to commercialize our future Point-of-Care testing devices based on our BioLED Technology, we may encounter a lack of commercial acceptance of our Point-of-Care testing devices, which would impair the profitability of our business.
We intend that our potential products will be used as an alternative to the specialized laboratories equipped with bulky and expensive equipment. Current methods of laboratory testing have been widely practiced for a number of years, and our technology and products may not be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing processes and methodologies. Additionally, our BioLED Technology may not be employed in all potential applications being investigated, and any reduction in applications would limit the market acceptance of our technology and our potential revenues. As a result, even if we obtain all required regulatory approvals, we cannot be certain that our BioLED Technology will be adopted at a level that would allow us to operate profitably.
If we do not keep pace with our competitors and with technological and market changes, our technology and products may become obsolete and our business may suffer.
The market for our products is very competitive, is subject to rapid technological changes and varies for different individual products. According to our market research, we believe that currently there are not many approaches in competition to our products, however, there are many private companies from which information is difficult to obtain.
Many of our competitors have significantly greater resources, more product candidates and have developed product candidates and processes that indirectly compete with our products. Our competitors may have developed, or could in the future develop, new products that compete directly with our products or even render our products obsolete. Our technology is designed to combine the use of microfluidics and pLED as the basis for Point-of-Care testing devices. Even if we are able to demonstrate improved or equivalent results, researchers and practitioners may not use our products and we will suffer a competitive disadvantage. Finally, to the extent that others develop new products that address the targeted application for our products, our business will suffer.
Our success depends in large part on our ability to develop and protect our BioLED Technology and our potential Point-of-Care testing devices. If our patents and proprietary right agreements do not provide sufficient protection for our BioLED Technology and its potential Point-of-Care testing devices, our business and competitive position will suffer.
We rely on an exclusive license relating to the BioLED Technology granted to us by Molecular Vision Limited. If we materially breach such agreement or otherwise fail to materially comply with such agreement, or if such agreement expires or is otherwise terminated by us, we may lose our rights under the license granted by Molecular Vision Limited. At the latest, the license will terminate when the patents underlying the license expire. The underlying patents will expire in approximately 2018. Also, the scope of the patents licensed to us may not be sufficiently broad to offer meaningful protection. In addition, the patents licensed to us could be successfully challenged, invalidated or circumvented so that our patent rights would not create an effective competitive barrier. We also intend to seek patent protection for any of our future Point-of-Care testing devices once we have completed their development. We also rely on proprietary know-how that we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, suppliers and licensees. These agreements may be breached, and we might not have adequate remedies for any breach. If this were to occur, our business and competitive position would suffer.

We may be subject to intellectual property litigation such as patent infringement claims, which could adversely affect our business.
Our success will also depend in part on our ability to develop our technology and commercially viable products without infringing the proprietary rights of others. Although we have not been subject to any filed infringement claims, other patents could exist or could be filed which would prohibit or limit our ability to develop our BioLED Technology and market our potential Point-of-Care testing devices in the future. In the event of an intellectual property dispute, we may be forced to litigate. Intellectual property litigation would divert management's attention from developing our technology and marketing our future Point-of-Care testing devices and would force us to incur substantial costs regardless of whether we are successful. An adverse outcome could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, and force us to curtail or cease the development and commercialization of our BioLED Technology.
Potential product liability claims could adversely affect our future earnings and financial condition.
We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our future products results in adverse affects. As a result, we may incur significant product liability exposure. We may not be able to maintain adequate levels of insurance at reasonable cost and/or reasonable terms. Excessive insurance costs or uninsured claims would add to our future operating expenses and adversely affect our financial condition.
Because some of our officers and directors are located in non-U.S. jurisdictions, you may have no effective recourse against the management for misconduct and may not be able to enforce judgement and civil liabilities against our officers, directors, experts and agents.
Most of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any U.S. state.
Risks Related To Our Common Stock
Because we do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock, investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not purchase shares of our common stock.
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying any such dividends for the foreseeable future. Investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not invest in our common stock.
If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result in the dilution of our existing shareholders.
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares will result in a reduction of the book value and market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuance will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all current shareholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our corporation.

Our stock is considered a “penny stock” and certain securities rules may hamper the tradability of our shares in the market.
Shares of our common stock are subject to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks”. “Penny stock” is defined to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our common stock are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. 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 in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks 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 salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the penny stock rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
