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) 485-6000.

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.
 
In October 2005, in order to generate working capital to support the research and development efforts of our MIT subsidiary, we sold our 30,000 square foot building and the assets of our Nevada subsidiary, Electropure EDI, Inc.  At that time, the Company changed its corporate identity to Micro Imaging Technology, Inc.

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:
 
 
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.
 
3

 
Our initial proof-of-principal testing in 1998 demonstrated the ability, in a laboratory setting, to detect and monitor parasites, primarily Cryptosporidium and Giardia1 in 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 in the United States, including clinical trials. To gain beta-site testing data, in June 2007 we sold and installed two MIT systems in an instrumentation distribution company and a food research laboratory in Japan through Yotsubishi Corporation, a subsidiary of Sibata Scientific Technology.  We anticipate that the operating results from these installations will aid in the domestic approval processes and in further commercializing the MIT System for clinical and food processing applications.  However, no assurances can be given as to when or if additional Systems may be sold.
 
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.
 
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.
 

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.

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.

On January 9, 2007, the Company entered into a non-exclusive agreement to supply MIT products to JMAR Technologies as a tandem product to its 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 and, although no assurances can be given that the arrangement will result in future products sales, we continue to consider the possibility of future business as promising.
 
In August 2007, we engaged the services of John Ricardi, JMAR’s former Vice President for Sales and Marketing.  Mr. Ricardi provides sales, marketing and business development services to the Company and through his efforts thus far, the Company has appointed six (6) exclusive distributors for MIT products in various territories, including, Taiwan and China, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, Bulgaria, the United Kingdom and Ireland, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, and South Korea.
 
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 and a corresponding patent in Mexico on April 4, 2006.
 
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.
 
 “Micro Imaging Technology” is a registered trademark of the Company.
 
Research and Development
 
During fiscal 2008, we expended $1,114,059 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 continued product development and library expansion efforts.
 
During fiscal 2007, we spent $864,716 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, 2008, we employed 6 full-time employees, of whom four were engaged in administrative, marketing, 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 2009. 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 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, 2008, we have accumulated a loss of $36,110,027 and a net stockholders’ deficit of $623,718. The accumulated loss is principally due to expenses incurred in the development of the now disposed of 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, 2008 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.”
 
Although we sold our first two MIT Systems during 2007, MIT is considered to be a research and development operation. As such, it has no significant or recurring 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 on a sustainable level. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitable operations.

We have limited patent protection
 
We own two U.S. patents on our MIT technology and one foreign patent for this technology. 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 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.
 
7

 
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 Michael Brennan, 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 January 2006, we executed a one-year lease, with an option to renew for up to five one-year terms, on a 4,100 sq. ft. facility in San Clemente, California commencing on April 1, 2006 at the rate of $3,650 per month.  Our monthly lease payment increased to $3,895.00 as of April 1, 2008.
 
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.

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 goodwill, 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, 2008 and 2007
 
We posted our first sales of two MIT systems in fiscal 2007, with sales of $40,000.   No product sales occurred during fiscal 2008.  Our limited working capital has not yet allowed us to spend any significant resources on advertising and marketing efforts.

Research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 increased by $249,343 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 expenses and the cost associated with granting options to employees and consultants for services rendered.
 
Sales, general and administrative expenses increased by $139,676 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 compared to the prior year period.  The increase primarily reflects a rise in consulting expense and the expense incurred for option issuances to employees for services rendered.  The increase also reflects the fact that approximately $46,587 in wages and accrued vacation were reversed pursuant to an agreement to issue common stock for certain debt due a former officer and director in fiscal 2007.
 
10

 
Interest income is generated from short-term investments and decreased by $3,983 in fiscal 2008 as investment capital was utilized to sustain operations.
 
Interest expense for the twelve months ended October 31, 2008 increased by $21,517 due primarily to borrowings from our majority shareholder and interest incurred from the convertible debentures sold between April and October of 2008.
 
Components of other income, other than interest, decreased by $13,764 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 compared to the prior year.  The decrease mainly reflects the cost incurred during fiscal 2007 on unrecovered shares issued pursuant to agreements that were later cancelled.
 
We recorded the minimum state income tax provision in fiscal 2008 and 2007 as we had cumulative net operating losses in all tax jurisdictions.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At October 31, 2008, we had working capital deficit of $620,566. This represents a working capital decrease of $358,802 compared to that reported at October 31, 2007. The decrease primarily resulted from utilizing cash reserves for operating costs and an increase in current liabilities due to lack of working capital to service the debt.
 
Our primary source of cash during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 has been from the sale of equity and convertible debentures and loans by our Chief Executive Officer, Michael W. Brennan, and Board member, Victor Hollander.   Between January and July 2008, we borrowed $130,000 from Mr. Brennan and $20,000 from Mr. Hollander.  Between December 2007 and September 2008, we sold 1,460,000 shares of common stock in a private placement transaction for net proceeds of $192,000, of which $60,000 was from our majority shareholder.  We also sold a total of $460,000 in convertible debentures between March and October 2008 for net proceeds, after fees and expenses, of $362,200.
 
Of the cash received during fiscal 2008, nearly $93,000 was utilized to repay loans and purchase inventories and capital equipment.  Management estimates that it required working capital approximating $60,400 per month to maintain operations during fiscal 2008, compared to the approximate $69,000 per month expended during fiscal 2007.
 
Plan of Operation
 
Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in its report on the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2008 which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
We are in the process of identifying 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 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.  To that end we are in the process of preparing and promoting a $2.5 million private placement offering of the Company’s securities and are negotiating with an investment banking firm to assist in the placement of these securities.  We also have entered into a preliminary arrangement with the same investment banking firm to underwrite a $5 million public offering of common stock during the latter part of fiscal 2009.  We have engaged the services of a consultant to provide investment banking and financial public relations services to expand and further this strategy.  Moreover, we are in the process of introducing the MIT System to market and believe that we will be able to generate a minimum of $400,000 in gross revenues from the sale of products during the remainder of fiscal 2009.  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 mid-2010.  However, no assurances can be given that we will secure additional financing or revenues in a timely manner, if at all, or that such funds would be sufficient to achieve our intended business objectives.

11

 
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 stockholders. 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 stockholders or will be on terms satisfactory to us.
 
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement 133,” which enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities;” and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  Specifically, SFAS 161 requires:

 
·
Disclosure of the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation;
 
 
·
Disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format;
 
 
·
Disclosure of information about credit-risk-related contingent features; and
 
 
·
Cross-reference from the derivative footnote to other footnotes in which derivative-related information is disclosed.

SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, but earlier application is encouraged.  Management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  The sources of accounting principles that are generally accepted are categorized in descending order as follows:

 
a)
FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards and Interpretations, FASB Statement 133 Implementation Issues, FASB Staff Positions, and American Institute of Certificate Public Accountants (AICPA) Accounting Research Bulletins and Accounting Principles Board Opinions that are not superseded by actions of the FASB.
 
 
b)
FASB Technical Bulletins and, if cleared by the FASB, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position.
 
 
c)
AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee Practice Bulletins that have been cleared by the FASB, consensus positions of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), and the Topics discussed in Appendix D of EITF Abstracts (EITF D-Topics).
 
 
d)
Implementation guides (Q&As) published by the FASB Staff, AICPA Accounting Interpretations, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position not cleared by the FASB, and practices that are widely recognized and prevalent either generally or in the industry.

12

 
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.

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 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008.
 
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In October 2008, the Company adopted the 2009 Employee Benefit Plan, authorizing the Company to grant up to four (4) million shares of common stock or options to purchase common stock to eligible employees, directors, officers, consultants, or advisors to the Company.  Eligibility is determined by the Board of Directors.  During fiscal 2008, the Board authorized the issuance of a total of 2,250,000 shares of common stock under the Plan to various individuals, including 2,000,000 shares to officers and directors, in lieu of payment for services rendered.  As of October 31, 2008, there were no options to purchase common stock granted under the 2009 Employee Benefit Plan.

Other Options

In September 2008, the Company granted a total of 2,860,000 options to purchase common stock at $0.10 per share to various officers, directors and employees of the Company for services rendered.  Of such options, 1,000,000 were granted to Michael Brennan and 500,000 options were granted each to Victor Hollander and Catherine Patterson.

See PART II, Item 5, “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.”

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 Subsidiary (the “Company”) (A Development Stage Company) as of October 31, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2008 and 2007.  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 Subsidiary (A Development Stage Company) as of October 31, 2008 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 $36,110,027 at October 31, 2008, and is seeking to implement its business plan, which requires the Company to complete the development and marketing the new product and/or raise capital through the sale of the Company’s common stock or borrowings.  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.

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

1.                                       Description of Business and Development Stage Company
 
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. (the “Company”), a California corporation, is a holding company whose operations are conducted through its 81%-owned subsidiary.

The losses incurred to date which are applicable to the minority stockholders of the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, Micro Imaging Technology (MIT) exceed the value of the equity held by the minority stockholders.  Such losses have been allocated to the Company as the majority stockholder and are included in the net loss and accumulated deficit in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008.  Any future profits reported by the subsidiary will be allocated to the Company until the minority’s share of losses previously absorbed by the Company have been recovered.
 
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.

Effective with the sale of its EDI 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 commenced November 1, 2005, is now considered a development stage enterprise.

2.                                       Basis of Presentation
 
The Company incurred net losses from continuing operations of $2,461,976 and $2,040,137 for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  At October 31, 2008 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $36,110,027 and is in default under the redemption provisions of its redeemable preferred stock (Note 8).  These raise substantial doubts 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 prior and current fiscal years through private loans from an individual who is a related party and the largest stockholder, and through the sale of the Company’s common stock in various private placement transactions.
 
The Company is also negotiating with private accredited investors and 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.

(A Development Stage Company)
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 subsidiary, Micro Imaging Technology (“MIT”). As of October 31, 2005, the operations of the Company’s subsidiaries, Electropure EDI, Inc. and Electropure Holdings, LLC, 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, 2008 and 2007, 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, 2008 and 2007.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company adopted the modified prospective transition methid of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123R, Share-Based Payment, which established accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services.  Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, share-based compensation cost 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).

The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $323,861 and $93,035 on options and warrants that vested during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

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 plans are included in Note 8.
 
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 leasehold improvements made to the Company’s leased facility are being depreciated over an expected useful life of 5 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.

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Advertising Costs
 
The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred.  The Company did not incur advertising expense during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007 or 2008.
 
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 4,900,000 and 2,550,000 as of October 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, have been omitted from the earnings per share calculation, as their effect would be antidilutive.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement 133,” which enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities;” and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  Specifically, SFAS 161 requires:
 
F-10

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

·
Disclosure of the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation;
 
·
Disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format;
 
·
Disclosure of information about credit-risk-related contingent features; and
 
·
Cross-reference from the derivative footnote to other footnotes in which derivative-related information is disclosed.

SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, but earlier application is encouraged.  Management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  The sources of accounting principles that are generally accepted are categorized in descending order as follows:

a)
FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards and Interpretations, FASB Statement 133 Implementation Issues, FASB Staff Positions, and American Institute of Certificate Public Accountants (AICPA) Accounting Research Bulletins and Accounting Principles Board Opinions that are not superseded by actions of the FASB.
 
b)
FASB Technical Bulletins and, if cleared by the FASB, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position.
 
c)
AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee Practice Bulletins that have been cleared by the FASB, consensus positions of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), and the Topics discussed in Appendix D of EITF Abstracts (EITF D-Topics).
 
d)
Implementation guides (Q&As) published by the FASB Staff, AICPA Accounting Interpretations, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position not cleared by the FASB, and practices that are widely recognized and prevalent either generally or in the industry.

SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to the auditing standards contained in AU Section 411, The Meaning of ‘Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 162 will have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, which clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting for Insurance Enterprises, applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities.  The Statement also provides for expanded disclosures of financial guarantee insurance contracts. The Statement will be effective for the Company as of November 1, 2009.  Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or results of operations.

Stockholders’ Deficit
 
Common Stock
 
On October 14, 2008, holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock acted by written consent to approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation increasing the authorized number of common shares from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000.

On June 29, 2005, the Company entered into a one-year arrangement with Michael Brennan for administrative, public relations and financial services. In addition to a $5,000 per month consulting fee, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Brennan each month and granted him three-year warrants to purchase: (a) 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share and (b) 100,000 shares at $0.25 per share. On August 2, 2006, Mr. Brennan was named Chief Executive Officer and was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors.  His compensation arrangement continues under the same terms of the 2005 consulting agreement, but also included the annual issuance of a two-year option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $0.30 per share and, commencing September 1, 2007, the issuance of 50,000 shares of the common stock of the Company’s Nevada subsidiary.  During the twelve months ended October 31, 2008, pursuant to his compensation arrangement, Mr. Brennan received 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an aggregate fair market value of $130,250 issued at prices ranging from $0.14 to $0.35 per share; 100,000 shares of the subsidiary’s stock valued at $100; and options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock with a fair market value of $23,702.
 
On August 1, 2007, the Company amended a compensation arrangement with George Farquhar who was appointed Chief Operating Officer on August 2, 2006.  The amendment provided that his cash compensation increase from $5,000 to $7,500 per month and that, commencing September 1, 2007, Mr. Farquhar receive 25,000 shares of the common stock of the Company’s Nevada subsidiary each month.  His compensation continues to include a monthly issuance of 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, Mr. Farquhar was issued 300,000, at prices ranging from $0.14 to $0.35 per share, and 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company and its subsidiary, valued at $62,625 and $50, respectively.  For additional services rendered, Mr. Farquhar also received 250,000 shares of common stock on September 18, 2008.  The shares were issued under the Company’s 2009 Employee Benefit Plan with fair market value of $20,000, or $0.08 per share.

Between December 18, 2007 and September 19, 2008, the Company sold 1,100,000 shares of common stock at $0.12 per share to an unaffiliated accredited investor for net proceeds of $132,000.

On March 17, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized an issuance of 500,000 shares of common stock each to Michael Brennan, Chief Executive Officer, and Victor Hollander, Director, for services rendered.  The shares were issued under the 2008 Employee Benefit Plan for a total fair market value of $270,000, or $0.27 per share.  Messrs. Brennan and Hollander each received an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock on October 2, 2008 under the 2009 Employee Benefit Plan.  The fair market value of the latter share issuance was determined to be $100,000, or $0.05 per share.

Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
 
In April 2008, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 600,000 shares of common stock to the Placement Agent which assisted in selling $460,000 in convertible debentures for the Company between April and October 2008.  The fair market value of the shares was $240,000, or $0.40 per share.

The company issued 200,000 shares of common stock on April 22, 2008 upon the exercise of warrants at $0.06 per share.  The $12,000 purchase price for the warrants, which were issued in 2006 to the Company’s legal counsel, was paid by crediting the Company in that amount for outstanding fees for services rendered.

On May 1, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the formation of the 2008 Employee Incentive Stock Program and authorized the issuance of a total of 584,472 shares of common stock under the Plan to various individuals, including officers and directors, in exchange for cancellation of loans and interest as well as fees and expenses due them from the Company.  The FMV of the stock on the grant date was $0.30 per share in cancellation of $175,342 in accrued debt.
 
On June 9, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of common stock in equal amounts of 500,000 shares to two consultants pursuant to their consulting agreements.  The fair market value of the shares on the grant date was $0.28 per share.
 
On June 24, 2008, the Company issued 275,000 shares of common stock in connection with the engagement of a firm providing investment consulting services.  The fair market value of the shares on the transaction date was $68,750, or $0.25 per share.
 
On August 4, 2008 and on August 28, 2008, the Company’s largest shareholder, Anthony M. Frank, purchased 180,000 shares of common stock in private transactions for $0.1667 per share.  The Company received a total of $60,000 in the two transactions and issued at total of 360,000 shares to Mr. Frank.

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.

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. 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 five (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.  A total of 140,000 and 300,000 options were granted under this plan to directors and employees during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and all of the share options granted under the Plan have been granted.

In September 2007, the Company’s subsidiary adopted the Micro Imaging Technology 2007 Stock Option Plan authorizing the granting of options up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock.  This plan is otherwise identical to the above 1999 plan of its parent company in eligibility requirements, types of options and other terms and conditions.   There have been no options granted under this plan to date.

The Company adopted the Micro Imaging Technology 2008 Employee Benefit Plan (the “Benefit Plan”) effective December 3, 2007.  Under the plan, the Company can grant up to three (3) million shares of common stock or options to purchase common stock to eligible employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors.  Eligibility and terms of each grant is determined by the Board of Directors.  Between September 2007 and March 2008, all three (3) million shares of common stock authorized under the Benefit Plan were issued to Michael Brennan (1,750,000 shares) and Victor Hollander (1,250,000 shares) for services rendered.

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.
 
The Company did not grant any warrants to purchase common stock during fiscal 2007.  During the year ended October 31, 2008 the Company granted warrants as follows:
 
On September 18, 2008, the Company granted three-year warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock to a consultant in consideration for services rendered.  The warrants vest in full as of the grant date with an exercise price of $0.10 per share.  The fair market value of these warrants was also recorded as consulting expense in the amount of $39,320 ($0.08 per share) as of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008.

The following table summarizes the information relating to warrants granted to non-employees as of October 31, 2008 and 2007 and changes during the years then ended.  Warrants outstanding at October 31, 2008 expire between May 2009 and September 2011.
