Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, including the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “projects,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, projections regarding demand for the Company’s products, the impact of the Company’s development and manufacturing process on its research and development costs, future research and development expenditures, and the Company’s ability to obtain new financing as well as assumptions related to the foregoing. Such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
 
1.
Nature of our Business, Development Stage Company and Continuance of Operations
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplated the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has incurred substantial losses and there is substantial doubt that the Company will generate sufficient revenues in the foreseeable future to meet its operating cash requirements. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to continue operations depends on its success in obtaining additional capital in an amount sufficient to meet its cash needs. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.
 
The Company conducts research and development, through its Micro Imaging Technology subsidiary (MIT), on a non-biological identification method and process with the ability to quickly and accurately detect and identify pathogenic microbes such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia, E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella.
 
On October 31, 2005, the Company discontinued the operations and sold the assets of its Electropure EDI subsidiary which had been engaged in manufacturing and marketing the “EDI” series of electrodeionization water treatment devices for commercial and industrial high purity water applications. The related operating results of EDI have been excluded from the results from continuing operations and classified as a discontinued operation for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2005. As of November 1, 2005, the Company became a development stage company.  The three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2006 reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financials also represents the cumulative development stage period from November 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006. The proceeds of the EDI sale, as well as proceeds from the sale of our building in October 2005, have been used to further the development and commercialization of the patented, proprietary technology held by our MIT subsidiary.
 
2.
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments which management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at July 31, 2006 and results of operations for the periods presented.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
 
Results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and footnotes as of and for the year ended October 31, 2005, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2006.

3.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accounting policies followed are as set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The Company has not experienced any material change in its critical accounting policies since November 1, 2005. The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates which are based upon historical experience and on other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company considers the following accounting policies to be most critical in their potential effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” a revision of FASB Statement No. 123. Under this standard, all forms of share-based payment to employees, including stock options, would be treated as compensation and recognized in the income statement. This statement is effective for awards granted, modified or settled in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. In connection with the issuance of SFAS 123R, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin number 107 (“SAB 107”) in March of 2005. SAB 107 provides implementation guidance for companies to use in their adoption of SFAS 123R. The Company will implement the provisions of SFAS 123R in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending October 31, 2007. Management believes that the impact on the Company’s financial statements will approximate the pro forma information presented in the table below.

We currently account for stock options under APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The pro forma impact of expensing options, valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model, is disclosed in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2006.
 
The following table illustrates the effect on the Company’s net loss and loss per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R to its stock based employee compensation awards, and recognized expense over the applicable award vesting period:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 will be effective for the Company beginning November 1, 2007. The Company is in the process of determining the effect, if any, this statement will have on its financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 156), which requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract under certain situations at fair value, if practicable, and permits the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. SFAS 156 will be effective for the Company beginning November 1, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155), which allows companies to elect fair value measurement for financial instruments with embedded derivatives in their entirety in cases otherwise required to be bifurcated. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued by the Company beginning November 1, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.

These and other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

On January 26, 2006, we issued 308,721 shares of common stock to our majority shareholder, Anthony M. Frank, in payment of $43,221 in accrued interest on $335,000 in principal loans made to the Company between November 2003 and January 2005. The fair market value of the common stock was $0.14 per share on the conversion date.
 
Common Stock and Warrants Issued to Consultants
 
On June 29, 2005, for one-year’s consulting services to be performed, we granted Michael W. Brennan 600,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, as well as warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 per share. The warrants are exercisable through June 29, 2008. The shares vest in increments of 50,000 per month and during the nine months ended July 31, 2006, the Company had issued 400,000 shares to Mr. Brennan. The fair market value of the shares was $81,000 and was recorded as consulting expense as of the nine months ended July 31, 2006. On August 2, 2006, Mr. Brennan was appointed Chairman of our Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer.
 
On January 26, 2006, the Company entered into an Intermediary Consulting Agreement with a Newport Beach, California company to provide consulting services for financing arrangements in exchange for the issuance of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair market value of the shares was $28,000, or $0.14 per share, and was recorded as consulting expense.

On May 8, 2006, the Company granted three-year warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock to George R. Farquhar for services to be rendered over a one-year period. The warrants are exercisable at $0.20 per share and vest in four equal increments each calendar quarter commencing on the date of grant. The fair market value of the 62,500 warrants that vested during the nine months ended July 31, 2006 was $11,250, or $0.18 per share, and was recorded as consulting expense. On August 2, 2006, Mr. Farquhar was appointed as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer.

Also on May 8, 2006, the Company granted three-year warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock to a consultant in consideration for services rendered and to be rendered. The warrants vest in full as of the grant date with an exercise price of $0.20 per share. The fair market value of these warrants was also recorded as consulting expense in the amount of $18,000 ($0.18 per share) as of the nine months ended July 31, 2006.

Options Issued to Directors and Employees
 
On January 26, 2006, the Company granted options to purchase a total of 500,000 shares of its common stock under the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan to the officers, directors and employees of the Company. The options are exercisable at $0.14 per share and vest in various increments over 5 to 10 years.
 
As of November 1, 2005, pursuant to the sale of the EDI assets to SnowPure, LLC, the status of Michael Snow as an employee of the Company changed. Consequently, the value of options to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock granted to him in 2003 that vested in January 2006 was recognized as compensation as of the nine months ended July 31, 2006. The fair market value of such options was determined to be $0.08 per share, for a total compensation expense of $6,000.

Commitments and Contingencies
 
In December 2005, the Company entered into a one-year Finder’s Fee Agreement with Ralph W. Emerson seeking up to $5 million in financing on behalf of the Company. The agreement provides for a 10% commission on the first $1 million realized by the Company and 6% on any additional financing received. Mr. Emerson, who was named to the Company’s Board of Directors on August 2, 2006, will also receive three-year warrants to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.09 per share, pro-rata to the amount of financing received. Mr. Emerson was not an affiliate of the Company at the time of the December 2005 agreement.
 
On January 26, 2006, the Company entered into a one-year agreement with an unaffiliated party to lease a 4,147 sq. ft. facility located in San Clemente, California. The lease term commenced on April 1, 2006 at the rate of $3,650 per month and the Company has paid a security deposit equal to one month’s rent. The Company has the option to extend the lease for up to 5 one-year terms.
 
7.
Employee Retirement Plan
 
Commencing on January 1, 2005, the Company sponsored a Simple IRA retirement plan which covers substantially all qualified full-time employees. Participation in the plan is voluntary and employer contributions are determined on an annual basis. Currently employer contributions are being made at the rate of 3% of the employees’ base annual wages. The Company’s contribution to the IRA plan was $6,821 and $8,566 for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
8.
Subsequent Events

Effective August 1, 2006, the Company entered into a one-year consulting agreement with George Farquhar, who was subsequently appointed Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Farquhar will be compensated at the rate of $5,000 per month and shall earn 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock per month during the term of the agreement.

Effective August 2, 2006, Michael Brennan was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Similar to the compensation arrangement which commenced in July 2005, Mr. Brennan’s compensation for a five-year term will consist of a cash payment of $5,000 and the issuance of 50,000 shares of common stock per month. At the conclusion of each year of service, Mr. Brennan will be granted two-year warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. On August 17, 2006, Mr. Brennan was also granted 50,000 shares of common stock for services rendered following the conclusion of his prior consulting arrangement in June 2006.

On August 17, 2006, the Company initiated a private placement offering for a total of $4 million in redeemable, convertible notes bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum. At the option of the purchaser, the notes, plus accrued interest, are convertible one year after issuance for common stock of the Company at a $0.25 conversion price. If not converted, the notes mature two years after issuance and must be redeemed by the Company for the face value of the note, plus accrued interest. Grant Bettingen, Inc., a Newport Beach, California, NASD-registered broker-dealer is acting as the Company’s Selling Agent for up to $2,130,000 of the notes being offered in the private placement. The Company has agreed to pay a 15% commission to the Selling Agent for each note sold; 10% in cash and 5% in shares of common stock at a fair market value of $0.25 per share.

On August 17, 2006, Mr. Anthony Frank, our largest shareholder exchanged a total of $1.87 million in current loans he made to the Company into notes in the above private placement. The notes issued to Mr. Frank have been collateralized by the intellectual property held by the Company on its Micro Imaging Technology.

Also on August 17, 2006, the Company agreed to exchange 400,000 shares of common stock of its Nevada subsidiary purchased by Mr. Frank in September 2003 for 1,176,471 shares of the Company’s common stock. The exchange rate was based upon the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the original 2003 purchase date.

On August 31, 2006, the Company accepted a $30,000 investment in the private placement from an unaffiliated third party. The Company paid a $3,000 cash commission and issued 6,000 shares of its common stock on this transaction to its selling agent.

On August 21, 2006, our largest shareholder loaned the Company $40,000 on an 8% convertible term note. Repayment of the loan is due in February 2007 or when the company receives at least $500,000 in investment financing, whichever occurs first.

Item 2.                                         Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operation.
 
Certain of the statements contained herein, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on current management expectations that involve substantial risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results we expect. Potential risks and uncertainties that could affect our future operating results include, without limitation, economic, competitive and legislative developments.
 
Results of Operations
 
References to fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 are for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Research and development expenses for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2006 increased by $87,631 and $224,166, respectively, compared to the prior year. These expenses arise from the program which we initiated in December 1997 to develop the micro imaging technology for detecting and identifying contaminants in fluids. The increase was primarily due to consulting and patent expenses. Additionally, the increase arises from rent and moving expenses, the addition of depreciable capital equipment, higher expenditures for material and supplies and an increase in worker’s compensation premiums.
 
Sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by $63,012 for the three month period ended July 31, 2006 compared to the prior year period, due primarily to a reduction in legal expenses, salaries and depreciation expense. These reductions were partially offset by an increase in consulting expense and an increase in rent expense on our new facility. For the nine month period ended July 31, 2006, sales, general and administrative expenses increased by $59,368, as compared to the same period in 2005. The increase is primarily due to consulting expenses, as well as the cost of renting our new facility.
 
Interest income increased by $814 and $5,609 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2006 as a result of the short-term investment of proceeds received from the sale of our building and EDI assets in October 2005. Interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2006 decreased by $61,512 and $141,190, respectively, compared to the comparable prior periods. The difference primarily represents the elimination of mortgage interest as of October 2005 when we sold our building and the lack of short term borrowings that the Company conducted in fiscal 2005.
10

Components of other income, other than interest, decreased by $34,230 and $110,630 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2006 compared to the prior year periods. The difference primarily relates to monthly sublease payments collected from an unaffiliated tenant until we sold our building in October 2005.
 
We recorded the minimum state income tax provision in fiscal 2005 and 2006 as we had cumulative net operating losses in all tax jurisdictions.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
On October 31, 2005, the Company sold substantially all of the assets owned by and utilized in the operations of its Electropure EDI, Inc. subsidiary to SnowPure, LLC and discontinued its operations. The related operating results of EDI have been excluded from the results from continuing operations and classified as a discontinued operation for the nine months ended July 31, 2005 in accordance with the requirements of SFAS 144. The operations from EDI are included in Net Loss from Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2005. The following is a summary of the results of discontinued operations relating to EDI for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2005:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At July 31, 2006, we had a working capital deficit of $2,372,857. This represents a $985,920 increase in the working capital deficit compared to that reported at October 31, 2005. A primary component of the increase resulted from the sale of current assets of our EDI subsidiary in October 2005. Additionally, the Company utilized the cash proceeds from the sale, as well as proceeds from the sale of our building in October 2005, on increased research and development expenditures of approximately $224,000 and $28,000 in general and administrative expenses, including accounting and consulting fees and rent expense. We have also made nearly $120,000 in capital expenditures for machinery and equipment as well as leasehold improvements on our new leased facility. Approximately $200,000 in cash was also utilized to reduce accounts payable, accrued payroll and other accrued expenses.

The Company has no revenues. Therefore, since October 2005, our primary source of working capital has been the proceeds from the sale of our building and from the sale of the assets of our EDI subsidiary. In August 2006, the Company borrowed $40,000 from our majority shareholder and received $30,000 in subscription funds under a private placement offering initiated on August 17, 2006.
11

Plan of Operation
 
In the opinion of management, available funds are expected to satisfy our working capital requirements through September 2006. Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2005 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2006, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Currently, we are seeking working capital through manufacturing arrangements, strategic partnerships, loans and/or the sale of private placement equity so that we may bring the MIT technology to a commercial stage. This approach is intended to optimize the value of the Company for its shareholders. To this end, we intend to seek commercial, technical and scientific partners that can aid in advancing the MIT expertise, provide external endorsements of the technology and accelerate introduction to the market. The implementation of this
strategy is dependent upon our ability to identify and attract the right customers and partners over the next six month period and to secure sufficient additional working capital in a timely manner.
 
In December 2005, the Company entered into a one-year Finder’s Fee Agreement with Ralph W. Emerson seeking up to $5 million in financing on behalf of the Company. The agreement provides for a 10% commission on the first $1 million realized by the Company and 6% on any additional financing received. Mr. Emerson will also receive three-year warrants to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.09 per share, pro-rata to the amount of financing received. Mr. Emerson was subsequently named to the Company’s Board of Directors on August 2, 2006. He was not an affiliate of the Company at the time of the December 2005 Agreement.
 
We will be required to raise substantial amounts of new financing in the form of additional equity investments, loan financings, or from strategic partnerships, to carry out our business objectives. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us and at the time required by us, or at all. Further, any financing may cause dilution of the interests of our current shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional equity or loan financing, our financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected. Moreover, estimates of our cash requirements to carry out our current business objectives are based upon various assumptions, including assumptions as to revenues, net income or loss and other factors, and there can be no assurance that these assumptions will prove to be accurate or that unbudgeted costs will not be incurred. Future events, including the problems, delays, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by similarly situated companies, as well as changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions, may lead to cost increases that could have a material adverse effect on us and our plans. If we are not successful in obtaining financing for future developments, whether in the form of loans, licenses or equity transactions, it is unlikely that we will have sufficient cash to continue to conduct operations, particularly research and development programs, as currently planned. We believe that in order to raise needed capital, we may be required to issue debt at significantly higher interest rates or equity securities that are significantly lower than the current market price of our common stock.
 
No assurances can be given that currently available funds will satisfy our working capital needs for the period estimated, or that we can obtain additional working capital through the sale of common stock or other securities, the issuance of indebtedness or otherwise or on terms acceptable to us. Further, no assurances can be given that any such equity financing will not result in a further substantial dilution to the existing shareholders or will be on terms satisfactory to us.
 
Item 3.              Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
 
In the course of their audit of the Company’s financial statements as at and for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Hein & Associates LLP, identified and reported a material weakness as it relates to numerous adjusting entries which were undetected due to deficiencies in the Company’s financial statement close process, and, as a result of the audit, were recorded by the Company during the course of the audit to correct the underlying books and records.
12

The Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in, and pursuant to, Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s President and Principal Executive Officer and its Principal Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation and the events described above, the Company’s President and Principal Executive Officer and its Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of their evaluation, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses described above and that the remediation efforts of the Company have not been in effect for a sufficient amount of time to allow for testing and validation. A discussion of the remediation efforts is included under “Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.”
 
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”) required the Company to include an internal control report in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended October 31, 2005 and in subsequent Annual Reports thereafter.
 
As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended October 31, 2005, we concluded that, as of October 31, 2005, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to:
 
Lack of sufficient personnel and technical accounting and financing reporting expertise within the Company’s accounting and finance function;
 
Inadequate controls over period-end financial reporting, where our CFO was responsible for preparing or compiling certain critical portions of the quarterly and annual internal financial information and was also responsible for performing a review of this information to monitor the results of operations.
 
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

Since October 31, 2005 and through the date of the filing of this Form 10-QSB, and in response to the material weaknesses identified as of October 31, 2005, we have strengthened our procedures to ensure that certain critical portions of the quarterly and annual internal financial information are reported properly and in a timely manner. We have also implemented controls to reduce the risk of errors and omissions as follows:

 
·
Implementation of a comprehensive review checklist which is completed by the Company’s chief financial officer in conjunction with an ongoing review of all existing contracts and agreements to ensure proper and timely accounting treatment.

 
·
Monthly and quarterly procedures have been enhanced to facilitate communication from operations personnel to financial personnel to ensure that transactions which occur throughout the period are promptly addressed and accounted for.

 
·
The Company has hired a Chief Operating Officer, George Farquhar, with accounting credentials and experience in financial reporting. Moreover, our new Board member, Victor Hollander, is a certified public accountant specializing in securities accounting and will serve as Audit Committee Chairman. Mr. Hollander and Mr. Farquhar will provide essential oversight and guidance to ensure that our internal controls and financial reporting are strengthened in order to remediate the material weaknesses identified.

We believe that, at the present time and despite the material weaknesses outlined above, our financial statements and other financial information included in this Report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in this Report.

Item 2.              Changes in Securities
 
On January 26, 2006, the Company issued 308,721 shares of common stock to our majority shareholder upon the conversion of $43,221 in interest accrued on a $335,000 in principal loans. The fair market value of the common stock on the date of conversion was $0.14 per share.

As reported on Schedule 14C filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22, 2006, a majority of the Company’s shareholders, by written consent, approved a proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to increase the number of authorized common shares from 20 million to 100 million shares.
