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, 2009 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 January 31, 2010, 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 three months ended January 31, 2010.  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.

Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments which management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at January 31, 2010 and results of operations for the periods presented.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
 
Results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and footnotes as of and for the year ended October 31, 2009, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 16, 2010.

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 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The Company has not experienced any material change in its critical accounting policies since November 1, 2009. 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).

The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $1,995 on options and warrants granted in prior periods that vested during the three months ended January 31, 2010.

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.   Between May 2008 and November 2009, 2,634,472 shares of common stock were issued under the Stock Plan to various individuals, including officers and directors, in exchange for cancellation of loans and interest as well as fees and expenses due to consultants and corporate counsel of the Company.

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.  In November, 2009, the Company issued 1,300,000 shares valued at $49,018 to legal firms rendering services to the Company for accrued fees.

On January 7, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized the formation of the 2010 Employee Benefit Plan which is authorized to grant up to 12 millions shares of common stock or options to purchase common stock to eligible employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors.  Eligibility is determined by the Board of Directors.  On January 7, 2010, the Company issued 2 million shares of common stock under the Plan to a consultant for services rendered in the sum of $75,000.

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. Typically, in the case of an employee, vested options terminate when an employee leaves the Company. The options granted have contractual lives ranging from three to ten years.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The following accounting standards updates were recently issued and have not yet been adopted by us.  These standards are currently under review to determine their impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2010-6 amends existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurements by adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchase, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. This ASU will be effective for the second quarter of 2010.

ASU 2009-17 revises the consolidation guidance for variable-interest entities. The modifications include the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009.   The Company does not have any variable-interest entities.

There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries.  None of the updates are expected to a have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

5.
Convertible Debentures

Anthony M. Frank

In December 2008, the Company authorized a private offering to sell up to $2,500,000 in convertible debentures.  On March 16, 2009, the Company’s largest stockholder, Anthony M. Frank, purchased $75,000 of the convertible debentures.  The debenture matures on March 16, 2012 and is 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 three months at 120% of the principal value, plus interest; or 2) if after three months, at 131% of principal, plus interest.

During the three months ended January 31, 2010, expensed $1,890 in accrued interest on the above debenture.  The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, $25,000, is being amortized over the three-year life of the debenture.  The Company expensed $2,100 of this cost during the three months ended January 31, 2010.

6.
Notes Payable

Between May 1 and June 24, 2009, the Company borrowed a total of $95,000 from its Chief Executive Officer, Michael W. Brennan.  The loans are due upon demand and accrue interest at the rate of 6% per annum.  The Company has recorded $3,778 in interest expense as of January 31, 2010 on these loans.

On June 24, 2009, an unaffiliated shareholder loaned the Company $60,000 at 6% annual interest.  The loan is due upon demand and has accrued $2,180 in interest as of January 31, 2010.

 
9

 

Our largest shareholder, Anthony M. Frank, loaned the Company $64,000 on September 23, 2009.  The loan bears interest at 6% per annum and is convertible into common stock at the option of the holder.  The Company has accrued a total of $1,389 in interest on the loan as of January 31, 2010.  The loan was due on March 10, 2010 and the Company is currently negotiating with Mr. Frank to extend the maturity date.

Between November 27, 2009 and January 12, 2010, the Company borrowed $100,000 from three unaffiliated lenders.  The loans mature in 12 months, bear interest at 6% per annum and required the Company to make payments on the loans each fiscal quarter from a sinking fund to be established from any proceeds received from operating profits, proceeds derived from a securities purchase agreement entered into with Ascendiant Capital Group in October 2009, and/or from other equity funding.  The loans are convertible, at the option of the lender, into common stock at a 20% discount to fair market value or $0.10 per share, whichever is greater.  As additional consideration for the loan, the lender receives restricted common stock, the number of which is determined by dividing the principal amount of the loan by the greater of $0.05 per share or the fair market value on the loan date.  The Company recorded an expense of  $100,000 related to the beneficial interest of this consideration.

As of January 31, 2010, the Company had issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the above $100,000 in loans and has expensed $668 in interest accrued on the loans.  See also Note 9 – “Subsequent Events.”

7.
Employee Retirement Plan

Commencing on January 1, 2005, the Company sponsored a Simple IRA retirement plan which covers substantially all qualified full-time employees.  Participation in the plan is voluntary and employer contributions are determined on an annual basis.  Currently employer contributions are being made at the rate of 3% of the employees’ base annual wages.  The Company’s contribution to the IRA plan for the three months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009 was $394.50 and $1,617, respectively.

8.
Securities Transactions
 
Common Stock issued to Officers, Directors and Certain Consultants
 
During the three months ended January 31, 2010, pursuant to his compensation arrangement, the Company issued 150,000 shares of common stock to its Chief Executive Officer, Michael W. Brennan, at prices ranging from $0.034 to $0.05 per share.  The aggregate fair market value of the shares was determined to be $6,175.
 
The Company issued 75,000 shares of common stock to a consultant of the Company, during the three months ended January 31, 2010 in accordance with his compensation arrangement.  The shares were issued at prices ranging from $0.034 to $0.05 per share, with an aggregate fair market value of $3,088.

Between November 27, 2009 and January 12, 2010, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock as partial consideration for $100,000 in loans received from three lenders.

On January 7, 2010, the Board of Directors  approved the establishment of the Company’s 2010 Employee Benefit Plan, authorizing the issuance of up to 12 million shares to employees, directors, officers, consultants, or advisors of the Company who are determined to be eligible to receive an option or stock award under the plan.  The Board also authorized the issuance under the Plan of 2 million shares to a consultant for services and expensed $75,000 in consulting fees.

Common Stock Issued in Cancellation of Debt

On November 2, 2009, the Company issued 800,000 shares of common stock to a law firm in payment of $29,018 in legal fees accrued between May and October 2009 in regard to litigation conducted with Divine Capital Group.
 
On November 5, 2009, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock to corporate counsel in payment of $20,000 in legal fees accrued between July 2007 and October 2009.
 
See also Note 6 – “Notes Payable.”

9.
Subsequent Events
 
During February 2010, the Company received an additional $80,000 in loans from unaffiliated lenders.  Similar to the convertible loans discussed under Note 6 – “Notes Payable,”  the Company issued shares of common stock as additional consideration for the loans.  A total of 1,600,000 shares of common stock were issued for these loans and one lender also received a two-year warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $0.03 per share.
 
In February, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the corporate name to Micro Identification Technologies, Inc.  The Company is in the process of taking the appropriate formal steps to effect the change.

On March 16, 2010, Mr. Anthony Frank, the Company’s largest shareholder, agreed to loan the Company $20,000 under the terms of the convertible notes discussed in Note 6 – “Notes Payable.”

Subsequent events have been evaluated through March 17, 2010, which is the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

 
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 2010 and fiscal 2009 are for the three month periods ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
The Company had no sales revenue during the three months ended January 31, 2010.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2010 increased by $105,778 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 decrease reflects reductions in expenditures across the board, particularly in consulting and labor-related expenses.  The decrease also reflects that $40,000 in accounting expenses incurred during the three months ended January 31, 2009 were incurred subsequent to fiscal 2010.
 
Sales, general and administrative expenses increased by $59,837 for the three months ended January 31, 2010 compared to the prior year period.  The increase primarily reflects a $69,800 increase in consulting expenses offset by reductions in expenses relating to shareholder relations costs.
 
The Company realized no interest income during the three months ended January 31, 2010 as investment capital was utilized to sustain operations.  Interest expense for the three months ended January 31, 2010 increased by $37,776 compared to the prior period.   The increase reflects the $100,000 in costs associated with the issuance of common stock as additional consideration for loans received during fiscal 2010.  Since the majority of debentures issued during fiscal 2008 and 2009 were converted and their beneficial conversion features fully amortized, this increase was partially offset a reduction in the expenses related to the prior year debentures.
 
Components of other income, other than interest, decreased by $39,746 for the three months ended January 31, 2010, compared to the prior year period.  The income during fiscal 2009 reflected 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.  No such transactions occurred during the current fiscal period.
 
We recorded the minimum state income tax provision in fiscal 2010 and 2009 as we had cumulative net operating losses in all tax jurisdictions.

 
11

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At January 31, 2010, we had working capital deficit of $1,000,603.  This represents a working capital decrease of $197,130 compared to that reported at October 31, 2009. The decrease primarily reflects additional borrowings during the current fiscal year as well as the accrual of payroll and accounts payable to officers, directors and employees of the Company.
 
Our primary source of cash during the three months ended January 31, 2010 has been from loans totaling $100,000.  Management estimates that it required working capital approximating $36,000 per month to maintain operations during fiscal 2010, compared to the approximate $86,000 per month expended during fiscal 2009.
 
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, 2009 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.

On October 2, 2009, Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC to establish a possible source of funding through an equity drawdown facility.  Under the Agreement, Ascendiant has agreed to purchase up to $3,000,000 of the Company’s common stock during a 36-month period which will commence once the Company has filed the required Registration Statement and it has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  At that time, the Company may request up to a $100,000 maximum drawdown under the Agreement every twelve (12) trading days based on the formula indicated below.  There is no minimum amount required for a drawdown and while the Company is under no obligation to request any drawdowns, Ascendiant is obligated to purchase the shares if the Company does make a request.

During February, 2010, we received $80,000 in short term loans which are convertible into common shares at any time prior to their one-year maturity date.  The loans bear interest at 6% per annum and as additional consideration for the loan, the lender receives a number of restricted common shares which is determined by the amount of the loan.  We received an additional $20,000 in loan proceeds from our largest shareholder during March 2010.  Additional lenders have expressed an interest in the convertible loan arrangement as well.

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, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.  In October 2009, we entered into a distribution agreement with a Biotek Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian distributor of research and scientific products for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (namely Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar).  This distributor purchased its first MIT System and is making preparations to conduct several workshops and product demonstrations for key prospects in Asia over the next three months.  Biotek is also planning workshops and training classes throughout ASEAN, including Indonesia, Singapore, The Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and others.  
 
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 borrowings and equity sales are expected to satisfy our working capital requirements through April 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.

 
12

 

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.
