The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Accelr8 Technology Corporation (the "Company") without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual audited financial statements dated July 31, 2010, included in our annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 23, 2010.

Management believes that the accompanying unaudited financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the use of management estimates, and contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended April 30, 2011 may not be indicative of the results of operations for the year ended July 31, 2011.

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

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and notes receivable, including receivables from major customers. The Company places its cash equivalents with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company periodically maintains cash balances at a commercial bank in the excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $250,000. At April 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s uninsured cash balance was approximately $0 and $0. The Company grants credit to domestic and international clients in various industries. Exposure to losses on accounts receivable is principally dependent on each client's financial position. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its clients' financial condition.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, investments and other long-term liabilities approximates fair value at April 30, 2011 and July 31, 2010. The carrying value of all other financial instruments potentially subject to valuation risk, principally consisting of accounts receivable and accounts payable, also approximate fair value.

The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits. Should the Company determine that any penalty and interest be accrued as a result of current or future tax positions taken on its returns, such penalties and interest will be accrued in its financial statements as other non-interest expense and as interest expense during the period in which such determination is made.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has codified a single source of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Accounting Standards Codification™ . Unless needed to clarify a point to readers, we will refrain from citing specific section references when discussing application of accounting principles or addressing new or pending accounting rule changes. There are no recently issued accounting standards that are expected to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Intellectual property consisted of the following:
	April 30, 2011			July 31, 2010

OptiChem® Technologies	$	4,454,538		$	4,454,538
Patents		576,522			530,904
Trademarks		49,019			49,019
Total intellectual property		5,080,079			5,034,461
Accumulated amortization		(2,256,699	)		(2,066,840	)
Net intellectual property	$	2,823,380		$	2,967,621

Intellectual properties are recorded at cost and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 20 years, which approximates the patent and patent application life of the OptiChem(R) technologies. Amortization expense was $189,860 and $188,148, respectively, for the nine months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010.

The Company routinely evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets based upon estimated future cash flows from or estimated fair value of such long-lived assets. If in management's judgment, the anticipated undiscounted cash flows or estimated fair value are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the long-lived asset, the Company will determine the amount of the impairment, and the value of the asset will be written down. Management believes that the fair value of the technology exceeds the carrying value. However, it is possible that future impairment testing may result in intangible asset write-offs, which could adversely affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

The Company originally signed a licensing agreement for microarraying slides using OptiChem® coatings with Schott Jenaer Glas GmbH (“SCHOTT”) on November 4, 2004. On November 24, 2008 the Company extended the non-exclusive Slide H license for three more years, to expire on November 23, 2011. The Company also extended a non-exclusive license to SCHOTT for Slide HS to expire at the same time as the extended slide H license. The royalty-bearing license extensions had a license fee of a total of $50,000, and prepaid royalty of $50,000 for a total of $100,000. Royalties earned during the nine months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 were $19,809 and $77,688 respectively.

The Company entered into a seven-year license with NanoString Technologies Inc. on October 5, 2007. The license grants to NanoString the right to apply OptiChem® coatings to NanoString's proprietary molecular detection products. Pursuant to the license agreement, NanoString paid the Company a non-refundable fee of $100,000 of which $50,000 was credited against future royalties. Under the royalty-bearing license, NanoString is to pay the Company a royalty at the rate of eight percent (8%) of net sales for sales up to $500,000 of NanoString licensed products. The royalty rate on the second $500,000 of net sales is six percent (6%), and the royalty thereafter is four percent (4%). Royalties in the aggregate amount of $21,004 and $4,729 respectively were earned during the nine months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010.

Effective June 14, 2010, the Company entered into an Evaluation Agreement and Letter of Intent with Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics, Inc. (“Novartis”). Pursuant to the Evaluation Agreement, Novartis will evaluate the results of the Company’s BACcel system in identifying the type and quantity of bacterial pathogens in clinical specimens.

Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, the Company and Novartis agreed to negotiate in good faith a formal business relationship and definitive agreement regarding the design, development, commercialization and support strength of each party within 160 days of the date of the Letter of Intent. The Letter of Intent is non-binding and grants Novartis the exclusive right (the “Exclusive Right”) to evaluate and negotiate a license to the Company’s intellectual property for a period of three months after the submission of the final research report prepared pursuant to the Evaluation Agreement.

Pursuant to the Amended Evaluation Agreement, Novartis will continue to evaluate the results of the Company’s BACcel system in identifying the type and quantity of bacterial pathogens in clinical specimens. In connection with the Amended Evaluation Agreement, Novartis agreed to pay the Company $140,000. The Amended Evaluation Agreement will terminate on June 30, 2011.

The Amended Letter of Intent extends the Exclusive Right for three additional thirty-day periods through April 13, 2011 and Novartis paid the Company an aggregate of $210,000for such extension. On or about April 13, 2011, Novartis extended the Exclusive Right an additional 78 days and will pay the Company an additional $70,000 fee for each 30-day period of such extension. The exclusivity payments made pursuant to the Original Letter of Intent, as amended pursuant to the Amended Letter of Intent, if any, shall be credited against any license fee, development milestone or other payment made by Novartis to the Company at any point in the future.

On July 9, 2010 the Company additionally entered into a non-exclusive patent-life OptiChem® license to Nanosphere, Inc. (“Nanosphere”). The license grants to Nanosphere the right to apply OptiChem® coatings to Nanosphere’s proprietary analytical products. The products may include FDA-regulated diagnostics devices, unlike the other current licenses. The payments due under the license aggregate $1,865,000, of which $165,000 has been paid. The license requires the additional payments of $350,000, $600,000 and $750,000 in July 2011, 2012, and 2013, respectively.

On April 30, 2011, there were Common Stock options outstanding at prices ranging from $1.45 to $4.50 with expiration dates between May 6, 2011 and October 28, 2018. For the three months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, stock options exercisable into 960,000 and 1,040,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect was antidilutiveOn August 26, 2009, 100,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.50 per share were exercised by an officer and director of the Company on a cashless basis. Upon exercise, 47,468 of these shares were surrendered in a cashless exchange. The share price on the date of exercise was $3.16 per share.

On or about April 20, 2011, 50,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.25 per share were exercised by a consultant of the Company on a cashless basis. Upon exercise, 32,041 of these shares were surrendered in a cashless exchange. The share price on the date of exercise was $3.51 per share. For the nine month periods ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company accounted for stock based compensation to employees and directors under the modified prospective application method. Using this method we apply the standard to new awards, and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled. Additionally, compensation costs for the unvested portion of awards are recognized as compensation expense as the requisite service is rendered.

The fair value of options granted under the stock option agreements and stock-based compensation plans discussed above is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants for the nine months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010: no dividend yield; risk free interest rate of 2.37% to 5%; expected life of 3-10 years; and expected volatility of 44% to 77%. The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at April 30, 2011 and 2010 was 2.91 and 4.13 years, respectively.

As of April 30, 2011, and 2010 the total unrecognized share-based compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $0. For the three month period ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 the Company recognized $6,545 and $1,405, respectively in stock based compensation costs related to the issuance or renewal of stock options to employees. For the nine months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $18,677 and $20,523, respectively in stock based compensation costs.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the Company, intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. These forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," or "continue," or variations thereon or comparable terminology, include the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to the products and future economic performance of the Company. In addition, all statements other than statements of historical facts that address activities, events, or developments the Company expects, believes, or anticipates will or may occur in the future, and other such matters, are forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the Company will retain key management personnel, the Company will be successful in the development of the BACcel™ system, the Company will obtain sufficient capital to complete the development of the BACcel™ system, the Company will find a long term strategic partner to assist in developing, manufacturing and taking the BACcel™ system to market, the Company will be able to protect its intellectual property, the Company's ability to respond to technological change, that the Company will continue as a going concern, that the Company will accurately anticipate market demand for the Company's products and that there will be no material adverse change in the Company's operations or business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in forward-looking statements will be realized. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein. The Company's future operating results may be affected by various trends and factors which are beyond the Company's control. These include, among other factors, general public perception of issues and solutions, and other uncertain business conditions that may affect the Company's business. The Company cautions the reader that a number of important factors discussed herein, and in other reports, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission including but not limited to the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors" are in its 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2010, could affect the Company's actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements.

Our vision is to develop and commercialize an innovative, integrated system to rapidly identify bacteria and their mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in critically ill patients. Our business strategy for primary products in vertical markets is to prove the validity of our technology and recruit an industry leader as a commercial partner or licensee. We also plan to spin off specific OEM technology components through additional licensed applications that do not compete with our platform licensees.

Since 2007, we have focused our efforts on the development of an innovative rapid diagnostic platform, the BACcel™ system, intended for rapid diagnosis in life-threatening bacterial infections. Our goal is to reduce the failure rate of initial therapy by shortening the lab turnaround time to less than 8 hours, rather than the 2-3 days now required. Rapid testing would provide guidance in time to influence initial therapy from the first day.

The BACcel™ system applies our proprietary technology to eliminate time-consuming bacterial culturing, thus eliminating the major source of delay with current testing methods. Proprietary technologies include our patented “Quantum Microbiology” analytical methods, and our patented OptiChem® surface coatings. The BACcel™ system includes a fixed instrument and proprietary single-use (disposable) test cassettes. Each cassette tests a single patient specimen and then must be discarded.

The BACcel™ system uses long-accepted clinical microbiology principles, but applies our proprietary technology to adapt them to analyze live bacteria extracted directly from a patient specimen. The instrumentation uses an automated digital microscope to measure the responses of extracted live bacterial cells to various test conditions. The system analyzes thousands of these individual cells to arrive at organism identification and antibiotic resistance characteristics.

Based on internal and external independent lab data, Management believes that the BACcel™ system will identify the organisms present in a patient's specimen and count the number of organisms of each type in less than 2 hours after receiving a specimen. Management believes that the BACcel™ system will then additionally report major categories of antibiotic resistance mechanism present for each type of organism within a total of 4-6 hours after receiving a specimen. The clinical purpose is to narrow the drug choices available for initial therapy by rapidly reporting presumptive identification and major resistance types, thus ruling out antibiotic classes that are most likely to fail.

Management believes that the BACcel™ system is the only new diagnostic technology under development that will address a clinically adequate range of species and antibiotic resistance mechanisms needed to help manage critical infectious diseases. Management also believes that other rapid technologies, such as gene detection, are better suited to screening non-infected carriers of a small number of species and resistance mechanisms, but are too limited to compete with the BACcel™ platform for managing infected and especially critically ill ICU patients.

During the quarter ended January 31, 2011 and continuing through the quarter ended April 30, 2011, the Company selected suppliers who are demonstrating functional subsystems for integration into an automated BACcel(tm) product. Subsystems include fluid robotics and automated imaging. The Company believes that when the BACcel™ is ready to be deployed into the marketplace, it will conduct a product launch that will begin in international clinical markets and research markets in the US.

Preliminary analysis in a prospective pilot clinical study at the Denver Health Medical Center yielded data that the principle investigators presented at the annual meeting of the American Thoracic Society in May 2011. This study is being performed under Institutional Review Board authorization and patient informed consent. In it, the investigators examine a series of new respiratory specimens acquired from ICU patients started on mechanical ventilation. They compare results from BACcel(tm) rapid analysis with standard cultures performed on portions of the same specimens. The study's purpose is to assess BACcel(tm) analytical accuracy and speed if to help manage severe infections in ICU patients.

The BACcel(tm) system used a test panel intended to detect 3 species that are prone to express or acquire multi-drug resistance. For each target species, the BACcel(tm) system counted the number of each target organism in a specimen volume in less than 2 hours. It then analyzed two major drug resistance expression types for each target species in another 2 hours, for a total turnaround time from specimen to complete answer in 4 hours. Results were 40-66 hours faster than standard cultures that used part of the same specimens.

A small number of infections emerged (9), as expected because of the surveillance study design and pilot stage. In one of these cases, the BACcel(tm) result agreed with clinical diagnostic scoring (detected a true case) but culturing failed. The BACcel(tm) result agreed with the independent clinical diagnosis. The potentially dangerous pathogen identified by the BACcel(tm) system was very close to the minimum quantitative criterion. Management believes that this observation illustrates the advantage of precise quantitation possible with the BACcel(tm) system but not available with typical hospital lab procedures. Overall diagnostic accuracy for identification and resistance characterization by the BACcel(tm) system achieved 86% sensitivity and 97% specificity. The investigators concluded that 63% of cases would have benefited if the BACcel(tm) results had been used to guide therapy by assuring initial control of the emergent infections.

Principal investigators at the Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis presented results of another study at European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases 2011, also in May, held in Milan, Italy. The study includes results from the BACcel™ system in identifying a new type of resistance in hospital “Staph” pathogens, known as “hVISA,” that cannot be detected by routine laboratory tests. The resistance type affects vancomycin, which is the antibiotic most commonly used if MRSA strains of Staph are known or suspected, but may also be present in non-MRSA Staph infections. The new resistance type thus presents a potentially serious threat. Researchers have not been yet able to assess the level of danger because standard lab methods cannot detect its presence. One of the purposes of the study was to assess the BACcel™ system’s and other methods’ speed and accuracy in the hope of closing this important gap in public health epidemiology.

Research collaborators from Denver Health and Barnes-Jewish Hospital also presented further data from two additional studies at American Society for Microbiology (“ASM”) 2011, held in late May in New Orleans. One study presented additional detail on the hVISA resistance identification test. The study used strains identified using a complex control method and screening a large number of "Staph" hospital strains. The screening found 15 hVISA strains. The new BACcel(tm) assay correctly classified 14 of the 15 as hVISA, and 14 of 14 Staph other clinical isolates negative for this hidden form of resistance and required only 4 hours for its analysis.

The second ASM study screened 281 randomly collected clinical lower respiratory specimens and identified 62 for complete detailed analysis of pathogen content. The purpose was to test the accuracy and timing for the BACcel(tm) system. The study targeted the same three major pathogenic bacterial species and resistance types as in the study presented at the American Thoratic Society (Staphylococcus aureus -- “Staph” including MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter species). Together, these three species account for more than half of hospital acquired multi-resistant infections. The total time from specimen to results only required 4 hours, instead of the typical 3-day time for cultures using the same specimens. Identification was correct in 182 of 186 tests, and antibiotic resistance classification in 31 of 32 tests.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2011, the Company received a grant in the amount of $244,479 as part of a new Internal Revenue Code 48D program created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This program provides a tax credit or cash grant for qualifying research and development expenditures related to advanced medical technology discovery and development. The amount was the maximum amount of capital that could be granted to any single project under the program.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") (Topic 105, "Generally Accepted Accounting Principles"), became the single source for authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on July 1, 2009. The Company has adopted FASB ASC for periods ending after September 15, 2009.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures, require new disclosures, and includes conforming amendments to guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29 Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. The ASU amends Topic 805, Business Combinations. The new standard provides for changes to the disclosure of pro forma information for business combinations. These changes clarify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. Also, the existing supplemental pro forma disclosures were expanded to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement(Topic 820) Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and IFRS, which amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. The guidance will be effective for fiscal 2013, and is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

The independent auditor's report accompanying the Company's July 31, 2010 consolidated financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The audited July 31, 2009 consolidated financial statements have been prepared "assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern," which contemplates that the Company will realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. Our accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Notwithstanding our investments in research and development, there can be no assurance that the BACcel(TM) system or any of our other products will be successful, or even if they are successful, will provide sufficient revenues to continue our current operations. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business. We have no lines of credit or other bank or off balance sheet financing arrangements. We believe that the plan of operations for the next twelve months will require additional capital of approximately $1,200,000. Management believes that current cash balances plus cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to fund our capital and liquidity needs for the next twelve months and we will be required to obtain additional capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities or other means to execute our plans. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current common stockholders.

An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Management, including Thomas V.

Based on that evaluation, Mr. Geimer concluded that as of April 30, 2011, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Mr. Geimer also confirmed that there was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 30, 2011.
