PART I
 
Item 1.                                                           Description of Business
 
COMPANY OVERVIEW
 
We were incorporated in December 1979 in California under the name HOH Water Technology Corporation and changed our name to Electropure, Inc. in 1996. In November 2005, we again changed our name to Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. as a condition of the sale of our EDI assets (see discussion of Electropure EDI, Inc. below). Our address and telephone number is:  970 Calle Amanecer, Suite F, San Clemente, California 92673 - (949) 485-6006.

In October 1997, we acquired an exclusive license to patent and intellectual property rights involving laser light scattering techniques to be utilized in the detection and monitoring of toxicants in drinking water. In February 2000, we formed Micro Imaging Technology (MIT), a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary to conduct research and development based upon advancements we developed and patented from the licensed technology.
 
The Company originally was formed to develop and market a proprietary water treatment device which was called the Electropure EDI system. In 1997, after many years of research and development, the Company began marketing the EDI, a small, point-of-use water treatment product aimed at the high purity segment of commercial and industrial water treatment markets. In February 2000, the Company formed Electropure EDI, Inc. (EDI), a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, through which all manufacturing and sales of its proprietary water treatment products were then conducted. Over the years, though the EDI product slowly gained market acceptance and we made significant strides in product improvement and production cost reductions, our EDI subsidiary operation continued to sustain operating losses. Consequently, in order to generate working capital sufficient for research and development of our MIT technology, we sold substantially all of the assets of our EDI operation in October 2005. The Company realized a net gain on the sale of assets in the sum of $695,537, which is reported in Net Income (loss) from discontinued operations for the twelve months ended October 31, 2005. Insofar as we had no need for manufacturing space after the sale, we also sold our 30,000 square foot building in October 2005 and realized $901,674 in cash proceeds from the sale and recognized a gain of $1,585,637 on the sale.

The sale of the EDI assets required that the Company dissolve the Electropure EDI subsidiary and amend the charter of the Company to change its corporate identity to a name other than “Electropure.” As a result, the Company changed its name to Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and dissolved its EDI subsidiary. The results of operations of EDI have been reported in discontinued operations for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005.

DEVELOPMENT OF OUR BUSINESS
 
MICRO IMAGING TECHNOLOGY
 
The acquisition of the MIT patent and intellectual property rights in 1997 provides the basis for our development of near “real-time” fluid monitoring systems for water monitoring as well as food processing and clinical applications. The technology transferred under the October 25, 1997 agreement with Wyatt Technology Corporation had, at inception, two main areas for exploitation:
 
2

 
·                  Detection and early warning of dangerous particulate materials such as parasites and other organisms, i.e., bacteria, spores, etc. If the initial efforts were successful, future efforts were to be directed to include detection and early warning of asbestos fibers and similar materials that pose a health hazard to the consumer.
 
·                  Detection and early warning of dangerous soluble substances such as mutagens, carcinogens and metabolic poisons.
 
The feasibility of the technology had already been confirmed, although never commercialized in this area of application, during a study by Wyatt for the U. S. Army through a Small Business Innovative Research program conducted in the 1980’s. We believe that the technology for this application may well represent a major opportunity on a worldwide basis for future growth of consumer market products and the currently available instrumentation and methods being developed by us appear to provide a more immediate path to developing the technology for this concept.
 
Our initial proof-of-principal testing in 1998 demonstrated the ability, in a laboratory setting, to detect and monitor parasites, primarily Cryptosporidium and Giardiain drinking water sources and the pathogenic microbes E. coli, Listeria and Salmonella.
 
Potential customers for a water monitoring system would include local water utilities, both private and municipal; state water utilities and water quality and health agencies; Federal government agencies such as EPA, DoD, DoE, CDC; wastewater treatment plants; ground water and well users; and potentially, as the cost of the sensors and system decreases, homeowners.
 
However, we believe development of an MIT System for clinical laboratory and food processing applications will be achieved more rapidly because it will not require the specialized instrumentation necessary for water monitoring. Consequently, we have focused our research efforts to address these areas, each of which we believe may achieve cost and efficiency benefits similar to the proposed water monitoring device. In addition to Cryptosporidium and Giardia protozoas, this technology has already demonstrated identification of the bacteria E.coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Additionally, the Company is in the process of adding to the system the ability to identify the following pathogens: Klebsiella, Proteus, Shigella and subspecies of each.
 
In February 2006, the Company contracted with North American Science Associates, Inc. (“NAMSA”), a highly regarded international testing and verification laboratory, to design and perform a verification test that compares the speed, accuracy and efficiency of MIT’s rapid microbe identification system with conventional processes. The comparative tests were a double blind experiment, meaning that the independent NAMSA laboratory technicians, using the MIT System and a well recognized alternative, were not aware of the tested microbes’ identification. NAMSA chose the industry standard Sherlock Microbial Gas Chromatographic Identification System (“MIDI”) as the initial process to verify the accuracy of MIT’s diagnostic capabilities.
 
The MIT system scored 98 percent correct identifications in fifty tests, with each test consuming only several minutes for sample preparation and an average three minutes for testing. The MIDI system was correct 80 percent and failed to identify, with several attempts, one very common and dangerous bacterium, E. coli 0157:H7. NAMSA then employed a conventional biological testing method which finally matched the unidentified bacterium with MIT’s identification. The MIDI system took hours per test and the biological testing method required days. We believe that the NAMSA tests verified the accuracy, speed and efficiency of the MIT system over conventionally accepted processes.

The clinical and food processing applications for our MIT System for rapid identification of microbes will undergo stringent and lengthy regulatory approval processes, including clinical trials. We anticipate that the MIT System for clinical and food processing applications may be ready for commercialization in mid 2007. However, no assurances can be given as to when or if we may offer an MIT System for sale since it may be subject to regulatory approvals.
 
Although the water monitoring application for the MIT System will not require regulatory review and approval, this application will require more extensive development efforts because of the vast array of contaminants commonly found in water and the need to configure a unique method and apparatus for isolating the water being tested. For these reasons, we expect that a practical device for the water monitoring application of our technology will not be commercialized until we have successfully introduced and gained acceptance of an MIT System in the clinical and food processing market segments.

1  Cryptosporidium (Cryptosporidium parvum) and Giardia (Giardia lamblia) are waterborne protozoan parasites which contaminate water sources such as wells, rivers, streams, and lakes, generally through animal and fowl fecal deposits.

Based on a very preliminary evaluation of market needs and the size and number of possible customers, we estimate that the market potential for the MIT System in all of the above domestic market areas could exceed $1 billion annually. More detailed market validation will be conducted as our research program continues.
  
With regard to the MIT System, there are established methods of testing currently employed by both public and private agencies. However, these methods are labor intensive, expensive and time consuming, and do not provide the near “real time” monitoring capabilities which our product offers. We believe that the MIT system is the only microbe identification system that is not biologically based - that is, does not rely on biological agents or reagents.
 
The Markets for Microbe Identification
 
The number of applications for our laser-based rapid microbe detection system is large, including food inspection, clinical applications and water testing. However, we have elected in the near term to focus on food inspection:
 
The Food and Drug Administration currently requires elaborate laboratory procedures taking up to 64 hours to identify E. coli, Salmonella or Listeria. According to industry analysts at Strategic Consultants, Inc (Scarborough, ME.) there were over 144 million microbiology tests performed in almost 6,000 plants. The analysts further report that food manufacturers and processors anticipate a continued increase in testing as regulatory agencies require more surveillance and monitoring programs. The MIT system identifies bacteria in less than 15 minutes, thus minimizing the testing and reporting time which minimizes health risks, product recall dangers and expenses to the producer.
 
Patents
 
In July 2002, we were granted U.S. Patent No. 6,639,672 on our MIT rapid microbe detection technology. We also received a U.S. Continuation-in-part patent on this technology on October 28, 2003. Corresponding foreign patents are pending in Europe, Australia, Mexico and Japan.
 
Because the review and approval process associated with filing for patent protection on new products can be lengthy, we cannot be certain when, or if, foreign patents will be issued for any of our pending applications. The existence of a patent may not provide us any meaningful protection because of technological changes, the decision of courts not to uphold all or part of a patent, or because of the limited financial resources that may be available to enforce patent rights. We do not believe that any of our individual patents is of sufficient importance that its termination or expiration would have a material adverse effect on the Company. Conversely, we believe that our technical know-how and trade secrets may be more significant to our business than trademark or patent protection although we will continue to apply for patents on any inventions or improvements made in the normal course of our business.
 
We have not secured a registered trademark or trade name for “Micro Imaging Technology.”
 
Research and Development
 
During fiscal 2006, we expended $704,002 primarily on our MIT system research program to develop a microbiological detection and monitoring system derived from the technology acquired from Wyatt in October 1997. We concluded Phase 1 research on the Micro Imaging System in 1998 with a laboratory system that was used to prove the scientific principal and initiated phase two of our research program which resulted in the development of a more advanced system and the culmination of the library for the identification for various pathogens. . We expect to continue to incur and accelerate additional research and development costs on this MIT System project through product development and library expansion efforts.
 
During fiscal 2005, we spent $318,521 on similar research and development activities.
 
Compliance with Environmental Laws
 
We do not produce hazardous waste as a result of our research activities. Consequently, our costs for compliance with federal, state and local environmental laws are negligible.

Employees
 
As of October 31, 2006, we employed 5 full-time employees, of whom three were engaged in administrative, accounting and clerical functions and two were engaged in research and development of the Company’s proposed MIT System. To implement our MIT business strategies, we anticipate that we will hire additional employees in fiscal 2007. However, we cannot predict with any certainty when we will hire any additional personnel. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good and we are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement. Our future success will be dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.
 
Risks and Uncertainties
 
Failure to raise additional capital could seriously reduce our ability to compete or harm our ability to continue operations
 
From time to time we have experienced and continue to experience working capital shortfalls that slowed the development of the EDI product and our research on the MIT technology. We will be required to raise substantial amounts of new financing, through equity investments, loans or strategic alliances, to carry out our business objectives. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us and at the time we require, or at all. Further, any such financing may cause substantial dilution of the interests of current shareholders. If we are unable to obtain such additional financing, the financial condition and results of operations of the Company will be materially adversely affected. Moreover, our estimates of cash requirements to carry out our current business objectives are based upon certain assumptions, including assumptions as to revenues, net income or loss and other factors, and there can be no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be accurate or that unforeseen 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 loans or equity financing, it is unlikely that we will have sufficient cash to continue to conduct operations. We believe that to raise needed capital, we may be required to issue debt or equity securities that are significantly lower than the current market price of our common stock. However, no assurances can be given 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.
 
We have a history of losses which are likely to continue.
 
From our inception in 1979 through October 31, 2006, we have accumulated a loss of $31,607,914 and a net stockholders’ deficit of $2,522,393. The accumulated loss is principally due to expenses incurred in the development of the EDI product, initial manufacturing start-up costs, initial marketing efforts, administrative expenses and interest, as well as the expenses associated with the research and development of MIT laser-based monitoring technology acquired in 1997. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 contains an explanatory paragraph as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, our negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in the notes to the financial statements and in Item 6 - “MANAGEMENTS’ DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.”
 
MIT is considered to be a research and development operation. As such, it has no operating income and its prospects must be considered speculative considering the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in the development of a new technology. While laboratory results and other tests have been encouraging, substantial additional development efforts will be required. The development of the MIT System involves significant risks, which a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. There can be no assurance that unanticipated problems will not occur which would result in material delays in our product development, or that our efforts will result in successful product commercialization. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitable operations.
 
5

 
We have limited patent protection
 
We own two U.S. patents on our MIT technology and certain corresponding foreign patents for this technology are currently in process. We may not be able to afford the expenses required to enforce any patent we may now or in the future own and no assurances can be given that any patents would be upheld if challenged, or if upheld, would provide us with meaningful protection. We also rely on trade secrets and know-how as regards the MIT technology that is not patentable. Although we have taken steps to protect our unpatented trade secrets and know-how, in part through the use of confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and certain of our contractors, there can be no assurance that:
 
·                                            these agreements will not be breached,
 
·                                            we would have adequate remedies for any breach, or
 
·                                            our proprietary trade secrets and know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently developed or discovered by competitors.
 
Our competitors are larger and better financed
 
The microbe identification industry continues to undergo rapid change with intense competition that is expected to increase. There can be no assurance that our competitors have not or will not succeed in developing technologies and products that are more accurate than the MIT System microbe identification and monitoring method and would, accordingly, render the MIT System obsolete and noncompetitive. Many of our competitors have substantially greater experience, financial and technical resources and production, marketing and development capabilities. Accordingly, certain of those competitors may succeed in obtaining regulatory approval for products more rapidly or effectively than us. We will also be competing with respect to sales and marketing capabilities, areas in which we currently have little experience.
 
Continued technological changes and government regulations could adversely affect our sales
 
The technology upon which the MIT System relies may undergo rapid development and change. There can be no assurance that the technology utilized by us will be competitive in light of possible future technological developments. Further, we cannot assure that our technology will not become obsolete or that we will have adequate funds to meet technological changes.
 
There can be no assurance that the we will be successful in developing the MIT System to respond to technological changes or evolving industry standards, that we will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of the MIT System, or that any new products will adequately satisfy the requirements of prospective customers and achieve market acceptance. If we are unable to develop and introduce new or improved products in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
 
Dependent upon the field of application, the MIT System, when commercialized, may be subject to extensive regulation by numerous governmental authorities and regulatory agencies worldwide prior to introduction of the product. The process of obtaining required regulatory approvals may be lengthy and expensive depending on the jurisdiction. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary approvals to conduct clinical trials for the manufacturing and marketing of products, that all necessary clearances will be granted to us for future products on a timely basis, or at all, or that review or other actions by the regulatory agencies will not involve delays adversely affecting the marketing and sale of our products. In addition, the testing and approval process with respect to certain products which we may develop or seek to introduce may take a substantial number of years and involve the expenditure of substantial resources. There can be no assurance that the MIT System will be cleared for marketing by the regulatory agencies of the countries in which we seek to gain distribution rights. Failure to obtain any necessary approvals or failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, future government regulation could prevent or delay regulatory approval of our products.
 
If we fail to attract and retain key personnel, our ability to compete will be harmed.
 
Our future success is highly dependent on our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, including technical personnel, executive officers and other key management. The loss or unavailability of services of one or more of our key employees, including Floyd Panning, our chief executive officer, or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate effectively.

Item 2.                                                           Properties
 
In October 2005, we sold our 30,200 sq. ft. building to an unaffiliated third party for $3,875,000. We leased back approximately 7,500 sq. ft. of the facility from the new owner for $9,175 per month through April 2006. In January, we executed a one-year lease for a 4,100 sq. ft. facility in San Clemente, California commencing on April 1, 2006 at the rate of $3,650 per month. The lease provides an option to renew for up to five one-year terms.
 
Management believes that our present facilities in San Clemente, California will be adequate for all of our current operations, and those contemplated for the foreseeable future. We also believe that our property is adequately covered by insurance.

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.

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 and entered into a five-year consulting agreement which provide a compensation arrangement of $5,000 per month plus 25,000 shares of common stock. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, Mr. Farquhar received 75,000 shares of common stock under the consulting agreement the $32,250 fair market value of which was recorded as consulting fees.

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) during the twelve months ended October 31, 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. The Notes are convertible after one year into common stock at a $0.25 per share conversion price. The original notes were also convertible into common stock at any time at the prevailing fair market value when converted. Consequently, the transfer resulted in a beneficial conversion feature calculated as the difference between the fair value of the conversion option immediately before, or $0.51 per share, and immediately after, or $0.25 per share, the exchange. As a result, the Company recorded an expense of $1,944,800 on the above exchange of notes.

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 and resulted in an expense to the Company in the sum of $254,001.

On August 29, 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 to its selling agent on this transaction and issued 6,000 shares of its common stock valued at $3,000.

On October 18, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to
a consultant for services to be rendered in exchange for the issuance of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair market value of the shares was $66,000, or $0.34 per share, and was recorded as consulting expense.

Also on October 18, 2006, the Board approved the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock to our two outside directors, Ralph W. Emerson and Victor A. Hollander. The fair market value of the stock on the date of issuance was $0.34 per share and $66,000 was recorded as consulting expense.

The Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock since its incorporation. We anticipate that, in the foreseeable future, earnings, if any, will be retained for use in the business or for other corporate purposes and it is not anticipated that cash dividends will be paid. Payment of dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and may be limited by future loan agreements or California law. Under California law, a corporation may pay dividends if the amount of the retained earnings of the corporation immediately prior thereto equals or exceeds the amount of the proposed distribution. California law also provides that if a corporation does not have retained earnings at least equal to the amount of the proposed distribution, it may pay dividends provided that after giving effect thereto, (a) the sum of the assets of the corporation (exclusive of good will, capitalized research and development expenses or deferred charges) would be at least equal to one and one-quarter times its liabilities (not including deferred taxes, deferred income and other deferred credits) and (b) the current assets of the corporation would be at least equal to the current liabilities or, if the average of the earnings of the corporation before taxes on income and for interest expense for the two preceding fiscal years was less than the average of interest expense of the corporation for such fiscal years, the current assets must be at least equal to one and one-quarter times its current liabilities.
 
Item 6.                                                           Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2006 and 2005
 
Research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 increased by $385,481 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 as well as the cost of moving to and leasing our new facility. The increase also reflects additional expenditures for equipment and materials relating to the development of the technology.
 
Sales, general and administrative expenses increased by $93,977 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 compared to the prior year period, due primarily to the costs of audit and tax preparation activities, shareholder relations costs and the expense of leasing our new facility. The increase was partially offset by reductions in legal expenses, property taxes and depreciation on real property and fixed assets that were sold at the end of fiscal 2005.
 
Interest income increased by $5,363 in fiscal 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 twelve months ended October 31, 2006 increased by $2,013,906 compared to the prior period. The primary cause of the increase resulted from the exchange in August 2006 by our majority shareholder of $1.87 million in short term convertible loans for $1.87 in private placement notes with a beneficial conversion feature. Additionally, our majority shareholder exchanged 400,000 shares of the common stock of the Company's subsidiary at a discounted rate during fiscal 2006. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion features for these transactions was determined to be $1,944,800 and $254,001, respectively, and was recorded as interest. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in mortgage interest expense resulting from the sale of our building in October 2005.

Components of other income, other than interest, decreased by $1,731,547 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 compared to the prior year. During fiscal 2005, we realized a gain on the sale of our building in the sum of $1,585,637. We also realized $149,100 in sublease income prior to selling the building in October 2005.
 
We recorded the minimum state income tax provision in fiscal 2006 and 2005 as we had cumulative net operating losses in all tax jurisdictions.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At October 31, 2006, we had working capital deficit of $633,781. This represents a working capital increase of $753,156 compared to that reported at October 31, 2005. The increase primarily resulted from the exchange of $1.87 million in current loans by our majority shareholder into long term notes in our private placement offering.
 
Our primary sources of working capital were the net proceeds realized from the sale of our building and the EDI assets in October 2005. We also received $130,000 in private placement subscription loans in October 2006, of which $100,000 were from our majority shareholder, Anthony M. Frank. Between November 2006 and January 2007, Mr. Frank was made three additional private placement subscriptions totaling $156,800.
 
Plan of Operation
 
Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2006 which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
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. This strategy will be 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 thereafter. To that end we are in the process of preparing and promoting a private placement offering of the Company’s securities and are negotiating with an investment banking firm to assist in the placement of up to $2,240,000 in common stock. We have received initial commitments totaling over $500,000 in private placement subscriptions and believe additional funds may be raised in the near future. Moreover, we are in the process of introducing the MIT System to market and conservatively believe that we will be able to generate a minimum of $250,000 in revenues from the sale of products during the remainder of fiscal 2007. In the opinion of management, available funds and funds anticipated from forthcoming equity purchases and product sales are expected to satisfy our working capital requirements through February 2008.
 
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 our 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.

Impact of Recently Issued 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 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.

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 is 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 September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, clarifies the definition of fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the application of SFAS No. 157 may change current practice for some entities. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). SFAS No. 158 requires company plan sponsors to display the net over- or under-funded position of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability, with any unrecognized prior service costs, transition obligations or actuarial gains/losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. We will adopt SFAS No. 158 as of the end of fiscal 2007. 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.

Item 7.                                                         Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
 
The information required by Item 7 is included on pages F-1 to F-28.
 
Item 8.                                                        Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
 
(a) (1) Previous independent registered accountants

(i) On January 2, 2007, the Company dismissed Hein & Associates, LLP (“Hein”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. Hein had served as the independent auditors of the Company since August 15, 2001.
 
(ii) The reports of Hein on the financial statements of the Company for each of the two fiscal years were subject to gong concern qualifications, but were not otherwise qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
 
11

 
(iii)  The decision to change independent accountants was approved by the Company’s Audit Committee.
 
(iv)  During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years preceding the dismissal of Hein, the Company had no disagreements with Hein on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Hein, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its report on the financial statements of the Company for such period.
 
(v)  During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years preceding the dismissal of Hein, the Company has had no reportable events under Item 304(a)(1)(v)(B), (C) or (D) of Regulation S-K. With reference to Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A), in its memorandum on internal control in connection with the audit for 2005, Hein noted one condition that it considered to be a reportable event. In particular, Hein suggested that the current organization of the accounting department did not provide the Company with the adequate skills to accurately account for and disclose significant transactions or disclosures. Company management did not disagree with the suggestions made by Hein. The Company believes it has made substantial progress toward implementing corrective measures. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors discussed these matters with Hein, and the Company authorized Hein to respond fully to any inquiries by Jeffrey S. Gilbert, CPA concerning these matters.

(2)  
New independent registered accountants.

The Company engaged Jeffrey S. Gilbert, CPA (“Gilbert”) as its new independent registered accountant as of January 2, 2007. During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of his engagement by the Company, the Company did not consult with Gilbert regarding issues of the type described in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
 
Item 9A.                                             Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-KSB, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). That evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our certifying officer, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
 
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of October 31, 2006.
 
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

As a result of management’s evaluation of internal control over financial report, certain material weaknesses were identified and reported in the October 31, 2005 assessment as set forth in Item 9A entitled Controls and Procedures of the Company’s 2005 Form 10-KSB. Management has addressed these material weaknesses and deficiencies and implemented controls to reduce the risk of such errors in the future as follows:

·  
Increased expert financial and technical accounting oversight within the Company’s accounting and financial department;
 
 
12


 
·  
Implementation of a comprehensive review checklist which is completed by the Company’s finance department in conjunction with a review of all new agreements and commitments to ensure proper accounting treatment; and

·  
Quarterly procedures have been enhanced to facilitate communication from operations personnel to relevant financial personnel to ensure that events which occur throughout the year are promptly addressed and accounted for.

(2)  
Mr. Brennan was named Chief Executive Officer on August 2, 2006. He receives a salary of $5,000 in cash and 50,000 shares of common stock per month. Therefore, as an officer of the Company during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, Mr. Brennan’s salary compensation amounted to $15,000 in cash and 200,000 shares of common stock with an aggregate value of $90,000.

Prior to his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Brennan was engaged as a consultant to the Company from July 2005 through July 2006 under a similar compensation arrangement. Mr. Brennan’s compensation as a consultant during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 was $20,000 in cash and 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $17,000.

Mr. Frank loaned the Company an additional $320,000 between January 27, 2005 and May 24, 2005, all of which loans bears interest at 8% per annum. In October 2005, the Company repaid $300,000 of the loans, plus $14,849 in accrued interest, from the proceeds received on the sale of our building.

Between November 2003 and January 2005, Mr. Frank loaned the Company an additional $335,000 and on January 27, 2006 converted $43,220 in interest accrued on the loans into 308,721 shares of common stock at a fair market value of $0.07 per share.

Also on August 17, 2006, Mr. Frank exchanged all of his $1.87 million in outstanding loans to the Company for redeemable, convertible notes in the Company’s private placement offering. The exchange resulted in a beneficial conversion feature associated with the conversion provisions of the new notes and the Company recorded a $1,944,800 expense on the transaction.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc.

I have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) (A Development Stage Company) as of October 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries (A Development Stage Company) as of October 31, 2006 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has limited liquid resources, recurring losses with an accumulated deficit of $31,603,344 at October 31, 2006, and is seeking to implement its business plan, which requires the Company to complete the development and market a new product. These matters raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

HEIN & ASSOCIATES

 
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries
San Clemente, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows of Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) (formerly, Electropure, Inc.) and Subsidiaries for the year ended October 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries for the year ended October 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and as of October 31, 2005 has an accumulated deficit of $27,809,201 that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Micro Imaging Technology, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
 
1.                                       Description of Business and Development Stage Company
 
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. (formerly, Electropure, Inc.) (the “Company”), a California corporation, is a holding company whose operations are conducted through its subsidiaries.
 
In 1997, the Company began marketing a small, point-of-use water treatment product aimed at the high purity segment of commercial and industrial water treatment markets. In February 2000, the Company formed Electropure EDI, Inc. (EDI), a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, through which all manufacturing and sales of its proprietary water treatment products were then conducted. In October 2005, the Company sold the assets of the EDI subsidiary and discontinued operations. See Note 4.
 
The Company acquired, in October 1997, an exclusive license to patent and intellectual property rights involving laser light scattering techniques to be utilized in the detection and monitoring of toxicants in drinking water. The Company formed Micro Imaging Technology (MIT) in February 2000, a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, to conduct research and development based upon advancements developed and patented from the licensed technology. It is this technology that is being developed.
 
The Company is developing a non-biologically based system utilizing both proprietary hardware and software to rapidly (near real time) determine the specific specie of an unknown microbe present in a fluid with a high degree of statistical probability (“MIT system”). It will analyze a sample presented to it and compare its characteristics to a library of known microbe characteristics on file. At present, it is the Company’s only operation.

Effective with the sale of its major operation in October 2005, the Company’s planned principal operation, the further development and marketing of its remaining technology, has not produced any significant revenue and, as such, the Company, beginning with the fiscal year starting November 1, 2005, is now considered a development stage enterprise.

2.                                       Basis of Presentation
 
The Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $3,798,713 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, a net income from continuing operations of $416,251 in fiscal year 2005, which included a gain of $1,585,637 on the sale of its building, and losses of $27,809,201 in prior years. At October 31, 2006 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $31,607,914 and is in default under the redemption provisions of its redeemable preferred stock (Note 9). These raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has been able to secure operating capital through the sale of assets in fiscal 2005 and in the current fiscal year through private loans from an individual who is a related party and the largest stockholder. In January 2007, the Company entered into a non-exclusive supply agreement with a San Diego, California provider of laser-based equipment to supply the MIT system as an upgrade option to their real-time water monitoring system or as a stand-alone instrument for laboratory use. The Company anticipates that the alliance will generate modest revenues over the next several months and may lead to additional sales opportunities. The Company is also negotiating with an investment banking firm for the sale of its common stock in private placement transactions. No assurances can be given that the Company can or will continue to obtain sufficient working capital through the sale of the Company’s securities, borrowing, or through the sale of assets or products that will generate sufficient revenues in the future to sustain ongoing operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent upon its ability to gain access to equity and debt capital or achieve profitable operations.
 
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities or any other adjustment that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

3.                                       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Electropure EDI, Inc. (“EDI”), Micro Imaging Technology and Electropure Holdings, LLC (“LLC”). As of November 1, 2005, the operations of its EDI and LLC subsidiaries were discontinued and the Company became a development stage company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company invests portions of its excess cash in highly liquid investments. Cash and equivalents include time deposits and commercial paper with original maturities of three months or less. As of October 31, 2006 and 2005, there was no cash or cash equivalents outstanding.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company annually evaluates its long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets for potential impairment. When circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable, as demonstrated by the projected undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized. The Company’s management has determined that there was no such impairment present at October 31, 2006 and 2005.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123) encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company had elected to continue to account for stock based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employeesand related Interpretations. Under APB 25 and the intrinsic value method, as the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant or, in the case of the Company’s employee stock purchase plans since the plans are non-compensatory, no compensation expense is recognized.

Adoption of SFAS 123(R)

Effective for the quarter ending April 30, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123(R) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the modified prospective transition method. Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation cost recognized in the quarterly period ended April 30, 2006 should include: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of February 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted beginning February 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, results for prior periods have not been restated. From February 1, 2006, no employee stock options were granted and the impact on results of operations from previously granted employee stock options that vested from February 1, 2006 through October 31, 2006 was immaterial.
 
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 123 to its stock based employee compensation awards, and recognized expense over the applicable award vesting period:

The pro forma effect for the years presented is not likely to be representative of the pro forma effect on reported net income or loss in future years because these amounts reflect less than five years of vesting.
 
The assumptions made for purposes of estimating the fair value of its stock options, as well as a summary of the activity under the Company’s stock option plan are included in Note 10.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over an expected useful life of 5 years. The Company’s building, which was sold in 2005, was being depreciated over an expected useful life of 30 years. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are charged to operations. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets are removed from the accounts upon retirement or other disposition, and the resulting profit or loss is reflected in the Statement of Operations. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
 
Advertising Costs
 
The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 was $209 and $10,092, respectively.

Micro Imaging Technology, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development expenditures are charged to expense as they are incurred. The Company’s research and development activities include ongoing work on various uses of the micro imaging multi-angle laser light scattering technology. Contract research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The estimated fair value amounts of all financial instruments on the Company’s balance sheet have been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Fair value is described as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between informed willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The Company does not have any off balance sheet financial instruments.
 
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial statements:
 
Cash and equivalents, notes receivable, trade accounts payable, current portion of notes payable and capital leases, and certain other current liability amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
 
The fair value of non-current notes payable is estimated by determining the net present value of future payments. The carrying amount on the balance sheet approximates the fair value as the interest rates approximate current market rates.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. They are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company is required to adjust its deferred tax liabilities in the period when tax rates or the provisions of the income tax laws change. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
 
Loss Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then share in the earnings of the entity. Common stock equivalents of 5,696,479 and 5,786,479 as of October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, have been omitted from the earnings per share calculation, as their effect would be antidilutive.
 
New 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.

Micro Imaging Technology, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated 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.

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 is 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 September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, clarifies the definition of fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the application of SFAS No. 157 may change current practice for some entities. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). SFAS No. 158 requires company plan sponsors to display the net over- or under-funded position of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability, with any unrecognized prior service costs, transition obligations or actuarial gains/losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. We will adopt SFAS No. 158 as of the end of fiscal 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
4.                                       Disposition of Assets
 
On October 25, 2005, the Company sold the building owned by its subsidiary, Electropure Holdings, LLC, to the George A. Boukather Trust, an unrelated party, for a total of $3,875,000 in cash and realized a gain on the sale in the sum of $1,585,637.
 
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, for a total purchase price of $800,000, plus $10,224 to cover a portion of the sales tax, which was paid in a combination of cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. SnowPure, LLC is principally owned and operated by Michael Snow, a former officer of the Company and General Manager of EDI. At closing, the Company received $402,647 in cash proceeds and SnowPure assumed $407,578 in various trade and notes payable. The Company recognized a gain of $695,537 on the sale of assets. The related operating results of EDI have been excluded from the results from continuing operations and classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in accordance with the requirements of SFAS 144.
 
The operations from EDI through the date of the sale are included in Gain (loss) from Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for fiscal 2005. The following is a summary of the results of discontinued operations relating to EDI for the year ended October 31, 2005:

On January 26, 2006, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock pursuant to an Intermediary Consulting Agreement with a Newport Beach, California company for consulting services to be provided. The fair market value of the shares was $28,000 and was recorded as consulting expense. The same firm represented the Company as a selling agent for a private placement offering of redeemable convertible notes and in August 2006 received an additional 6,000 shares of common stock as a partial commission on a $30,000 subscription to the private placement by an unaffiliated third party. The fair market value of the shares was $3,000 and was recorded as a commission.
 
On August 17, 2006, the Company’s largest stockholder, Anthony M. Frank, exchanged 400,000 shares of common stock that he purchased for $1.00 per share in the Company’s Nevada subsidiary on September 9, 2003 for 1,176,471 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair market value of the common stock on August 17, 2006 was $0.51 per share and the Company agreed to the exchange at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the original purchase date, or $0.34 per share, for a difference of $0.17 per share. Consequently, the Company recorded an expense on the discounted shares in the sum of $254,001.

On August 17, 2006, Mr. Frank exchanged a total of $1,870,000 in current principal loans for the same amount of notes in the Company’s private placement offering. The private placement notes are convertible after one year into common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. The original notes were also convertible into common stock at any time at the prevailing fair market value as of the conversion date. Consequently, the exchange of notes resulted in a beneficial conversion feature calculated as the difference between the fair value of the conversion option immediately before August 17, 2006, or $0.51 per share, and immediately after, or $0.25 per share. The difference resulted in a $1,944,800 discount on the exchange which was recorded as interest expense.

On August 2, 2006, the Company entered into a compensation arrangement with George Farquhar who was appointed Chief Operating Officer. In addition to cash consideration of $5,000 per month, Mr. Farquhar receives 25,000 shares of common stock each month. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, Mr. Farquhar was issued 75,000 shares of common stock valued at $32,250.

Micro Imaging Technology, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

On October 18, 2006, the Company authorized the issuance of 200,000 shares of common stock to a consultant for marketing and financial services to be rendered. The fair market value of the shares was determined to be $66,000 and was recorded as consulting expense. The shares were issued subsequent to year end.

Also on October 18, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock to each of its outside directors, Ralph W. Emerson and Victor A. Hollander, for service to the Board. The aggregate fair value of the stock was $66,000 and was recorded as consulting expense. These shares were issued subsequent to year end.

In August 1997, the Company allowed a current officer and director to exercise warrants held by him in exchange for a note receivable at a fixed interest rate of 5.49%. As of October 31, 2006 and 2005, the note receivable related to the issuance of common stock is reflected as a reduction in equity and is summarized as follows:
 
 
 
2006
 
2005
 
Note receivable from former officer and director of the Company, Floyd Panning, for the issuance of 50,000 shares of common stock in August 1997, with an interest rate of 5.49% per annum, due in July 2002. The note receivable is collateralized by shares issued resulting from the exercise of warrants. The amount outstanding includes accrued interest of $12,620.

Class B Common Stock
 
The Class B common stock is entitled to non-stock dividends and liquidation payments equal to 80% of those paid to the common stock. All of the 83,983 shares of Class B common stock is held in the name of Harry M. O’Hare (the founder of the Company) and may not be transferred or assigned. These shares automatically convert on a share-for-share basis into common stock upon the death of the current owner. However, in connection with an order imposed by the California Corporations Commissioner, all shares held by this individual will not participate in dividends, other than for stock in distribution of assets in the event of liquidation and may not be transferred without prior consent of the Commissioner or pursuant to a court order.

On or about November 13, 2006, Mr. O’Hare passed away and the Class B common stock automatically converted, on a share-for-share basis into common stock of the Company.
 
Redeemable Preferred Stock
 
The redeemable preferred stock, issued in 1987 to the then holders of the common and Class B common stock, had a redemption date in 1991. The redeemable preferred stock has not been redeemed due to a lack of “legally available funds.”  These shares must be redeemed by the Company as soon as possible for $0.01 per share at any time the Company has the “legally available funds” for the redemption. There was a conversion feature to this redeemable preferred stock, which, with the passing of time, has lapsed. The Company believes the definition of “legally available funds” to be the amount under California law from which dividends could be paid by a corporation that does not have retained earnings. In general, California law provides that to the extent a corporation’s assets, excluding intangible and deferred assets, are at least equal to (a) the amount of the proposed distribution, and (b) 1.25 times its liabilities, excluding deferred taxes, deferred income, and deferred credits, a corporation may pay dividends. Under this definition, the Company had “legally available funds” as of October 31, 2000 and 1999. As a result, the Company is in default under the redemption provisions of the redeemable preferred stock.
 
The redeemable preferred stock is not assignable or transferable, except upon death or upon approval of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors not holding such shares and is not entitled to receive any dividends.

9.                                 Stock Options and Warrants
 
Common Stock Options
 
In May 1999, the Company adopted the Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. 1999 stock option plan (the “plan”), for officers, directors, employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company. The plan provides two types of options: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options. The plan authorizes the granting of options up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price per share on options granted may not be less than the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. The exercise price per share of Incentive stock options granted to anyone who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of the Company’s common stock must be a minimum of 110% of the fair market value per share at the date of grant. The options exercise price may be paid in cash or its equivalent including cashless exercises as determined and approved by the plan administrator. No options were granted during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005. However, a total of 500,000 options were granted under this plan to directors and employees during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006. Also under the Plan, 250,000 warrants were granted to a consultant of the Company in fiscal 2006. The term of each Incentive stock option granted is fixed by the plan administrator and shall not exceed 10 years, except that for those who own 10% of the voting power of the Company the term of the option may be no more than 5 years. Non-qualified stock options may not be granted for more than ten years. The vesting period for both Incentive stock options and Non-qualified stock options is determined by the administrator at or after the date of grant.
 
The following table summarizes information about options granted to employees and directors of the Company. Unless otherwise noted, options vest on an annual pro rata basis over various periods of time and are exercisable, upon proper notice, in whole or in part at any time upon vesting. Generally, unvested options terminate when an employee leaves the Company. The options granted have contractual lives ranging from 3 to 10 years.

Common Stock Warrants
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees based upon fair values at the grant dates. The consideration received for the issuance of stock purchase warrants (“warrants”) is based on the fair value of the warrants or of the goods or services received for the warrants issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
 
When the value of the services is based on the fair value of the warrants, the value is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value of the options or warrants is expensed as the services are provided.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
 
In this connection, during the years ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 the Company granted warrants as follows:
 
On June 29, 2005, for one-year’s consulting services to be performed, we granted Michael W. Brennan 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 vested in full as of the date of grant and are exercisable through June 29, 2008. The fair market value of the warrants was $18,000 and was recorded as consulting expense as of October 31, 2005. On August 2, 2006, Mr. Brennan was appointed Chairman of our Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer.
 
On June 29, 2005, the Company granted warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock to a consultant for future services. The warrants are exercisable at $0.10 per share and expire on June 29, 2008. The fair market value of the warrants was $4,500 and was recorded as a consulting expense.
 
On July 1, 2005, for future legal services to be performed, the Company granted legal counsel 200,000 warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at exercise price of $0.06 per share and 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 per share. The warrants are exercisable through July 1, 2008. The fair market value of the warrants on the date of issuance was $36,000 and was recorded as legal expense.
 
In July 2005, the Company borrowed $50,000 and $250,000 from two separate lenders and granted warrants to purchase a total of 125,000 shares of common stock as partial consideration for the loans. The warrants have a contractual life of three years and are exercisable at $0.06 per share. The fair market value of the warrants, $11,250, was recorded as financing charges.

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 during the fiscal year ended October 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.

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 aggregate 125,000 warrants that vested during the twelve months ended October 31, 2006 was $21,875 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 agreement also called for the issuance of up to 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.09 based upon the amount of financing received. In June 2006, the agreement was terminated by mutual consent and no commission was earned by or paid to Mr. Emerson.
