Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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.

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.
 
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. (the “Company”), a California corporation, is a holding company whose operations are conducted through its Nevada subsidiary, Micro Imaging Technology (“MIT”).  As of July 31, 2009, the Company owns 80.7% of the issued and outstanding stock of MIT.
 
The losses incurred to date which are applicable to the minority stockholders of the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended July 31, 2009.  Any future profits reported by our 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. In February 2000, the Company formed Micro Imaging Technology (MIT), a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, to conduct research and development based upon advancements developed and patented from the licensed technology.   The technology being developed is 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 starting November 1, 2005, is considered a development stage enterprise.

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 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The Company has not experienced any material change in its critical accounting policies since November 1, 2008. 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
 
Share-based compensation costs for stock options issued to employees 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).
 
7

 
The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $747 on options and warrants granted in prior periods that vested during the nine months ended July 31, 2009.  The Company expensed an additional $25,958 for options granted to employees in February 2009.

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 periods for both Incentive stock options and Non-qualified stock options are determined by the administrator at or after the date of grant.  As of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, all of the options available for issuance 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.   

In May 2008, the Company adopted the Micro Imaging Technology 2008 Employee Incentive Stock Plan (“Stock Plan”) effective May 2, 2008.  Similar to the above-referenced Benefit Plan, the Stock Plan permits the Company to grant up to three (3) million shares of common stock or options or purchase common stock to eligible employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors.   The Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 584,472 shares of common stock under the Stock Plan in May 2008 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.   An additional two (2) million shares of common stock were issued to a consultant of the Company in June 2009 for services rendered.

The Company adopted the 2009 Employee Benefit Plan in October 2008.  Under the Plan, the Company can grant up to four (4) million shares of common stock of 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.  The Company granted 2,250,000 options under the Plan during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008.  In May 2009, the Company granted 500,000 shares, valued at $28,088, under the Plan to Michael Brennan.

The following table summarizes information about options granted under the Company’s equity compensation plans and otherwise to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Generally, 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts. The new standard clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises, applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for disclosures about the insurance enterprise's risk-management activities.  Management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events. This statement establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet data but before financial statements are issued. Accordingly, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through September 16, 2009, which is the date these financial statements were issued.

On June 12, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”.  This statement eliminates the concept of qualifying special-purpose entities (“QSEPs”) and their exemption from consolidation in the financial statements of a transferor of financial assets.  In addition, SFAS No. 166 modifies and clarifies the conditions for derecognition of transferred financial assets, including partial transfers and subsequent measurement of retained interests.  Enhanced disclosure also is required about financial asset transfers and any continuing involvement of the transferor.  The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and all interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management does not expect the implementation of SFAS 166 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Also issued by the FASB on June 12, 2009 was SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46®,” that modifies the approach and increases the frequency for assessing whether a Variable Interest Entity must be consolidated and requires additional disclosures about an entity’s involvement with VIEs.  SFAS 167 removes the quantitative-based risks-and-rewards calculation for identifying the primary beneficiary and, instead, requires a variable-interest holder to qualitatively assess whether it has a controlling financial interest in a VIE, without consideration of kick-out and participating rights unless unilaterally held.  Continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE are required.  The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and all interim periods within those fiscal years.  Earlier adoption is prohibited.  Management does not expect the implementation of SFAS 166 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

On June 29, 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162,” to supersede the existing U.S. GAAP hierarchy and establish the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (the “FASB Codification”) as the sole source of authoritative non-governmental U.S. GAAP.  The FASB Codification does not change existing U.S. GAAP guidance but instead provides a consistent organizational structure to simplify user access to its contents.  Hereafter, the FASB will not issue new authoritative standards in the form of Statements, FSPs or EITF abstracts, but will update the FASB Codification.  The FASB Codification does not replace or affect guidance issued by the SEC or its staff for public entities’ filings with the SEC.  SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  Accordingly, beginning with the Company’s annual report for the year ending October 31, 2009, citings of authoritative accounting guidance made in the financial statements of the Company will reference the appropriate subjects or sections of the FASB Codification.

Convertible Debentures

Divine Capital Markets

On March 27, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Divine Capital Markets which is acting as a Placement Agent seeking buyers for a minimum amount of $250,000 and a maximum aggregate amount of $800,000 of secured convertible debentures from the Company.  Between April  and October 2008, the Company sold a total of $460,000 in such debentures through the Agreement.  The debentures bear 6% annual interest and mature on the third anniversary of the final closing date on which the final debentures are sold as determined by the Placement Agent.  The debentures are secured by the Company’s intellectual property and are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the Company’s common stock at a fair market value of 75% of the lowest closing bid price per share for the 20 trading days immediately preceding conversion.  The debentures are also redeemable by the Company:  1) if before nine months at 120% of the principal value, plus interest; or 2) if after nine months, at 131% of principal, plus interest.  The Company paid a total of $97,800 in cash fees, expenses and commissions relating to these debentures and issued 600,000 shares of common stock as a commission to the Placement Agent valued at $240,000, or $0.40 per share.  The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was determined to be $153,333.  Consequently, the Company incurred a total of $491,133 in fees and expenses to obtain the loans.

Between December 18, 2008 and February 18, 2009, a total of $50,000 in convertible debentures was converted into common stock at the option of the holders.  See Note 8– “Securities Transactions.”

On April 9, 2009, Divine issued a notice of default for the Company’s failure to issue 2,424,240 shares of common stock upon the conversion of $20,000 in principal debentures submitted on March 26, 2009.  In May 2009, Divine filed a legal action in the New York Supreme Court seeking, among other things, an order by the court to issue the shares in question.  Although the Company believes that Divine was not entitled to convert the debentures in question, we have applied the default terms of the debentures, increasing the interest rate on the debentures to 18% and recorded a 30% increase in the remaining principal debentures as interest expense.  In addition, all of remaining fees and expenses relating to the debentures and their beneficial conversion feature were fully amortized as of July 31, 2009.

In August, 2009, the parties to the lawsuit reached a settlement of all claims.  See Note 9 – “Subsequent Events.”

Anthony M. Frank

In December 2008, the Company authorized a private offering to sell up to $2,500,000 in convertible debentures.  On December 15, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Anthony M. Frank to purchase $300,000 of the convertible debentures, the payment for which the Company received Between December 18, 2008 and February 17, 2009.  The debentures mature on the third anniversary of the final closing date on which the final debentures are sold.  The debentures are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the Company’s common stock at a fair market value of 80% of the lowest closing bid price per share for the 20 trading days immediately preceding conversion.  The debentures are also redeemable by the Company:  1) if before nine months at 120% of the principal value, plus interest; or 2) if after nine months, at 131% of principal, plus interest.

On February 27, 2009, Mr. Frank elected to convert all of the above $300,000 in debentures, plus $3,288 in interest accrued thereon, into common stock at $0.0096 per share.  He received a total of 31,592,467 shares upon the conversion.  The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature for the debentures purchased by Mr. Frank was determined to be $116,667 and was fully amortized when the debentures were converted in February 2009.

On March 16, 2009, Mr. Frank purchased an additional $75,000 debenture for which the Company has expensed $2,815 in accrued interest as of July 31, 2009.  The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, $25,000, is being amortized over the three-year life of the debenture.

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 2009 and fiscal 2008 are for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
The Company had no sales revenue during the nine months ended July 31, 2009.

Research and development expenses for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2009 increased by $217,704 and $28,533, respectively, compared to the prior year. These expenses arise from the program which we initiated in December 1997 to develop the micro imaging technology for detecting and identifying contaminants in fluids. The increase reflects a greater consulting and temporary labor expenses during the current period, as well as modest increases in advertising expenditures.  The increase also reflects the cost of issuing options to employees during the current period.
 
Sales, general and administrative expenses increased by $729,451 and $854,566 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 compared to the prior year period.  The increase relates to $45,000 in legal expenses incurred in litigation defense and reflects a $790,000 increase in consulting expenses a significant portion of which reflectsthe value of options and common stock issued as compensation during the current period.
 
The Company realized no interest income during the nine months ended July 31, 2009 as investment capital was utilized to sustain operations.  Interest expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 increased by $662,406 compared to the prior period.   The increase reflects the costs associated with the issuance of convertible debentures during fiscal 2008 and the first three months of fiscal 2009, the majority of which was expensed in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 as the debt was converted into common stock.  Conversely, interest expense for the three months ended July 31, 2009, decreased by $26,443 compared to fiscal 2008 since over $300,000 in such debentures were earlier converted.
 
Components of other income, other than interest, increased by $41,428 for the nine months ended July 31, 2009, compared to the prior year period.  The increase primarily reflects the gain realized by the Company on the forgiveness by our majority shareholder of $39,746 in accrued interest on loans converted to common stock.
 
We recorded the minimum state income tax provision in fiscal 2009 and 2008 as we had cumulative net operating losses in all tax jurisdictions.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At July 31, 2009, we had working capital deficit of $1,095,127.  This represents a working capital decrease of $474,561 compared to that reported at October 31, 2008. The decrease primarily resulted from fully amortizing the costs and expenses related to debentures which were converted during the period as well as the remaining costs and expenses related to the Divine debentures which have been reclassified to current debt.
 
Our primary source of cash during the nine months ended July 31, 2009 has been from the sale of $375,000 in convertible debentures and the sale of common stock for proceeds of $100,000.  We also received a 150,000 loan from our majority shareholder and $155,000 in loans from our Chief Executive Officer during the nine months ended July 31, 2009.
 
 
13

 

Of the cash received during fiscal 2009, approximately $13,000 was utilized to repay loans and purchase inventories and capital equipment.  Management estimates that it required working capital approximating $75,000 per month to maintain operations during fiscal 2009, compared to the approximate $60,000 per month expended during fiscal 2008.
 
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.  There can be no assurances that our efforts will be successful or that we will be able to raise sufficient capital to implement our plans or to continue operations.  To that end, however, we are in the process of promoting a $3.0 million private placement offering of the Company’s securities and have negotiated with an financial advisor and placement agent firm to assist in the placement of these securities.  We also have entered into an arrangement with the same agent to assist in securing up to $500,000 in bridge financing within the next 60 to 90 days.  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 gaining certifications of the MIT System and expect to introduce the System to market within the next several months.  During the latter part of 2008, we appointed an exclusive distributor to sell our MIT products in Taiwan and China.  We have entered into similar arrangements with five other companies granting distribution rights in Turkey, Bulgaria, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.  We are in the process of developing promotional materials and marketing and sales strategies with these and other future distributors which we believe will assist in generating sales revenues in the near future.

In the opinion of management, available funds and funds anticipated from forthcoming equity are expected to satisfy our working capital requirements through December 2009.  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.

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.

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.
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
 
On May 11, 2009, Divine Capital Markets, LLC and a group of investors (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) filed a civil action against the Company and several of its officers and directors (collectively, the “Company”) in the New York Supreme Court, New York County.  Plaintiffs alleged breach of contract and unjust enrichment by the Company, as well as fraud, tortious interference with a contractual relationship and breach of fiduciary duty by the Company’s officers and directors.  The lawsuit alleges that the Company breached certain conversion provisions of secured convertible debentures purchased by the Plaintiffs.

On May 12, 2009, before the Company had been able to retain New York counsel, Plaintiffs appeared in court and obtained a temporary restraining order, which barred the Company from using or assigning any of its patents pending a hearing scheduled for May 19.  Divine also filed a motion for preliminary injunctive relief seeking an order: (i) compelling the Company to cease and desist any and all use of several patents;  (ii) permitting plaintiffs to sell or otherwise dispose of the patents;  (iii) compelling the Company to immediately issue the 2,424,240 shares to several investors; and (iv) compelling the Company to issue all shares covered by the convertible debenture agreement.

The Company opposed Divine's motion.  On May 19, at the conclusion of oral argument on Plaintiffs’ motion, Justice Richard B. Lowe, III ruled in the Company’s favor.  Justice Lowe vacated the temporary restraining order and denied plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction in full.

On August 10, 2009,  the parties reached an agreement to settle all claims and counterclaims asserted in the lawsuit.  With respect to the agreement, neither side admitted any liability in connection with the settlement.  As part of the agreement, the debenture holders agreed to extinguish their existing rights under their debentures in exchange for the immediate issuance of 5,899,997 unrestricted common shares of Micro Imaging Technology stock.  The settlement also provided for the release of any legal claim or interest by the debenture holders with respect to patents and patent rights which have been held by Micro Imaging Technology.  We anticipate the settlement will become effective during the latter part of this month, September 2009, at which time the Company will file the appropriate disclosure documents including a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
