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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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 January 31, 2007 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, 2006, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2007.

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 2006 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
 
Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123R, Share-Based Payment, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, share-based compensation costs is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). Prior to April 1, 2006, the company accounted for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principals Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for stock issued to Employees, and related interpretations. The Company also followed the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective transition method as provided by SFAS 123R and, accordingly, financial statement amounts for the prior period presented in the Form 10-QSB have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation.

The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $18,595 on options and warrants granted in prior periods that vested during the three months ended January 31, 2007.

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. 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.

Additional options have been granted outside of the Plan to employees and directors employees 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. A summary of the activity in options granted to employees and directors of the Company as of the beginning and end of the three months ended January 31, 2007 is presented below:

5. Securities Transactions
 
Private Placement Offering

In January 2007, the Company authorized a private placement offering of up to 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to qualified accredited investors at a purchase price of $0.12 per share. The offering expired on February 20, 2007 and provided for a 15% commission to Grant Bettingen, the Company’s non-exclusive selling agent. The commission is payable in a combination of 10% cash and 5% in the form of common stock at a value of $0.12 per share. As of the three months ended January 31, 2007, the Company had not received any subscriptions to this offering. See Subsequent Events.

Common Stock issued to Employees
 
During the three months ended January 31, 2007, pursuant to his compensation arrangement, the Company issued 150,000 shares of common stock to its Chief Executive Officer, Michael W. Brennan, at prices ranging from $0.10 to $0.40 per share. The aggregate fair market value of the shares was determined to be $37,500.
 
The Company issued 75,000 shares of common stock to George Farquhar, its Chief Operating Officer, during the three months ended January 31, 2007 in accordance with his compensation arrangement with the Company. The shares were issued at prices ranging from $0.10 to $0.40 per share, with an aggregate fair market value of $18,750.

On May 8, 2006, the Company granted three-year warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of common 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 three months ended January 31, 2007 was $10,625, or $0.17 per share, and was recorded as consulting expense.

Common Stock Exchanged for Class B Common Stock

All of the 83,983 shares of Class B common stock issued by the Company in 1986 were held in the name of Harry M. O’Hare, the Company’s founder. In connection with an order imposed by the California Corporations Commissioner at the time of the issuance, all of the Class B common shares automatically convert on a share-for-share basis into common stock upon the death of Mr. O’Hare. On or about November 13, 2006, Mr. O’Hare passed away and the Company has recorded the conversion of 83,983 shares of Class B common stock into 83,983 shares of common stock during the three months ended January 31, 2007.
 
6. Subsequent Events

 
On February 1, 2007, the Company authorized a private placement offering of up to 4,000,000 shares of its common stock to qualified accredited investors at a purchase price of $0.50 per share. On February 14, 2007, one unaffiliated accredited investor purchased 2,760,000 shares of common stock in the private placement offering for proceeds of $1,380,000. Concurrently, this same investor purchased 1,000,000 shares of common stock under the terms of the January 2007 private placement offering at $0.12 per share, or $120,000 in proceeds to the Company.

 
Between February 20 and March 6, 2007, the Company also received additional private placement subscriptions totaling $134,660 at $0.12 per share and issued 1,122,166 shares of its common stock.

 
On February 14, 2007, the Company utilized proceeds received in the above private placement offerings to repay $1,000,000 in principal loans from Anthony M. Frank, our largest stockholder. Also on February 14, 2007, Mr. Frank elected to convert all remaining unpaid loans totaling $1,126,800 in principal and $406,184 in accrued interest thereon into common stock at the rate of $0.25 per share. The Company issued 6,171,553 shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion.
 
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 2007 and fiscal 2006 are for the three months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Since discontinuing the operations of its EDI division in October 2005, the Company’s primary operations focus on the research and development of its micro imaging technology system for detecting and identifying contaminants in fluids. As such, primarily all operating expenses are now allocated to research and development whereas in prior fiscal years, a significant portion of expenses were allocated to general and administrative costs. Consequently, research and development expense for the three month period ended January 31, 2007 increased by $153,854 compared to the prior year period and even though representative of the greatest portion of all operating expenses, does reflect decreases in various areas such as salaries and related expenses, as well as rent, utilities and related facilities expenses.
 
9

Sales, general and administrative expenses, for the reasons discussed above, decreased by $225,469 for the three month period ended January 31, 2007 compared to fiscal 2006. The reallocation of most operating expenses to research and development in fiscal 2007 and the reduction in certain expense areas as mentioned above, combine to reflect an overall decrease of $75,615 in the Company’s loss from operations for the three months ended January 31, 2007 compared to the prior fiscal year period.
 
Interest income is generated from short-term investments and decreased by $2,995 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 as investment capital was utilized to sustain operations. Interest expense for the three month period ended January 31, 2007 increased by $8,989 compared to fiscal 2006 and primarily relates to the expense incurred for additional loans obtained over the course of the previous year.
 
Components of other income, other than interest, decreased by $1,600 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 compared to the prior year period because we did not accrue income tax expense for our discontinued subsidiaries.
 
We recorded the minimum state income tax provision in fiscal 2007 and 2006 as we had cumulative net operating losses in all tax jurisdictions.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At January 31, 2007, we had a working capital deficit of $731,731. This represents a $97,950 increase in the working capital deficit compared to that reported at October 31, 2006. A primary reason for the increase resulted from the lack of sufficient working capital to satisfy monthly operating costs in a timely manner, requiring larger accruals in accounts payable and other accrued expenses.

The Company has no revenues. Our primary source of income has been from loans by our majority stockholder and from the sale of equity in private placement offerings.
 
Plan of Operation
 
In the opinion of management, available funds are expected to satisfy our working capital requirements through October 2007. 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 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2007 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.

On January 9, 2007, the Company entered into a non-exclusive agreement to supply MIT products to JMAR Technologies as a tandem product to their real-time water monitoring system or as a stand-alone instrument for laboratory use. JMAR is a San Diego, California based company that has a direct sales and support organization and manufactures laser-based products for multiple markets, including homeland security, the cruise ship and beverage industries, pharmaceutical companies, and municipal water utilities. To date, no sales of the MIT system have occurred under the agreement with JMAR.
 
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.
 
10

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
 
The Company’s management has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In addition, based on that evaluation, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
