(1) Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act, the shares being registered hereunder include such indeterminate number of shares of common stock as may be issuable with respect to the shares being registered hereunder as a result of stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.
(2) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, using the average of the high and low prices as reported on the OTCQB on May 31, 2011.
(3) Estimated assuming that all 40,000,000 shares are sold at the same price. This number of shares is limited by Rule 415, however the share prices may increase over the life of the agreements and this registration, such that prices could cumulate to $5,000,000 (the contractual limitation) if a large number of shares are sold at significantly higher prices than currently exist.
(4) As of June 10, 2011, the Company had 261,494,076 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. These 40,000,000 shares represent 15.3% of the number of currently outstanding shares. Upon issuance of these shares, the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock will be 301,494,076 and the registered shares will then represent 13.3% of those shares. Additionally, as of the date of this Registration Statement, these 40,000,000 shares represent 26.7% of the current float.
The registrant hereby amends this registration statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this registration statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the registration statement shall become effective on such date as the Securities and Exchange Commission acting pursuant to said section 8(a) may determine.
The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

Prospectus
MICRO IMAGING TECHNOLOGY, INC.
40,000,000 Shares
Common Stock
This prospectus relates to the offer and resale of up to 40,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, by the selling stockholder, Dutchess Opportunity Fund II, LP, or "Dutchess". Dutchess has agreed to purchase up to 125,000,000 shares pursuant to the investment agreement dated May 4, 2010 between Dutchess and us. Dutchess has agreed to purchase up to 40,000,000 described in this offering shares pursuant to the investment agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of such investment agreement, which is referred to in this prospectus as the "Investment Agreement," we have the right to put up to $5,000,000 million in shares of our common stock to Dutchess. This arrangement is sometimes referred to as an "Equity Line." For more information on the selling stockholder, please see the section of this prospectus entitled "Selling Stockholder".
As of June 10, 2011, the Company had 261,494,076 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The 40,000,000 shares represent 15.3% of the number of currently outstanding shares. Upon issuance of these shares, the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock will be 301,494,076 and the registered shares will then represent 13.3% of those shares. Additionally, as of the date of this Registration Statement, these 40,000,000 shares represent 26.7% of the current float.
We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of these shares of common stock offered by Dutchess. We will, however, receive proceeds from the sale of shares to Dutchess pursuant to the Equity Line. When we put an amount of shares to Dutchess, the per share purchase price that Dutchess will pay to us in respect of such put will be determined in accordance with a formula set forth in the Investment Agreement. Generally, in respect of each put, Dutchess will pay us a per share purchase price equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five (5) consecutive trading day period beginning on the trading day immediately following the date of delivery of the applicable put notice.
Dutchess may sell the shares of common stock from time to time at the prevailing market price on the Over-the Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board, or on an exchange if our shares of common stock become listed for trading on such an exchange, or in negotiated transactions. Dutchess is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") in connection with the resale of our common stock under the Equity Line. For more information, please see the section of this prospectus entitled "Plan of Distribution".
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol "MMTC". The last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTCQB on June 29, 2011 was $0.002 per share.
Investing in the offered securities involves a high degree of risk, including those risks set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus, as well as those set forth in any prospectus supplement.
We will be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of this registration statement, provided, however, we will not be required to pay any underwriters' discounts or commissions relating to the securities covered by the registration statement.
You should read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement carefully before you decide to invest. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of this document.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus or to which we have referred you. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information or to make any representation on behalf of the Company that is different from that contained in this prospectus. You should not rely on any unauthorized information or representation. This prospectus is an offer to sell only the securities offered by this prospectus under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so. The information in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus, regardless of the date of delivery of this prospectus or of any sales of these securities. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since the date of this prospectus. This prospectus may be used only in jurisdictions where it is legal to sell these securities.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus are "forward-looking statements". These statements are based on the current expectations, forecasts, and assumptions of our management and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are sometimes identified by language such as "believe," "may," "could," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "should," "plan," "expect," "appear," "future," "likely," "probably," "suggest," "goal," "potential" and similar expressions and may also include references to plans, strategies, objectives, and anticipated future performance as well as other statements that are not strictly historical in nature. The risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in this prospectus include, but are not limited to, those noted under the caption "Risk Factors" beginning on page 8 of this prospectus. Readers should carefully review this information as well the risks and other uncertainties described in other filings we may make after the date of this prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. They reflect opinions, assumptions, and estimates only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements in this prospectus, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances, or otherwise.
This summary highlights the information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because this is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before buying shares of our common stock. You should read the entire prospectus and any prospectus supplements carefully, especially the sections entitled "Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements," "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," together with our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplements related thereto, before deciding to purchase shares of our common stock.
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc.
Depending upon the context, the terms "MIT," “Micro Identification Technologies, Inc,” ”Company," "we," "our" and "us," refers to either Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. alone or Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively. On February 19, 2010 Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. (OTC: Bulletin Board: MMTC) announced that it had changed the Company’s business trading name to doing business as (DBA) Micro Identification Technologies, Inc, to better reflect the extensive capabilities of its microbial identification technologies.
Organizational History
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) 388-4546.
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.
In February 2010, the Company changed the Company’s business trading name to doing business as (DBA) Micro Identification Technologies, Inc, to better reflect the extensive capabilities of its microbial identification technologies.
Summary Financial Data
Because this is only a summary of our financial information, it does not contain all of the financial information that may be important to you. Therefore, you should carefully read all of the information in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, including the financial statements and their explanatory notes and the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," before making a decision to invest in our common stock.

Market Data and Industry Information
We obtained the market data and industry information contained in this prospectus from internal surveys, estimates, reports and studies, as appropriate, as well as from market research, publicly available information and industry publications.

The Investment Agreement with Dutchess provides that Dutchess is committed to purchase up to $5,000,000 of our common stock over the course of 36 months. We may draw on the facility from time to time, as and when we determine appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement. A maximum of 125,000,000 shares (estimated by using the last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on May 4, 2010 of $0.04 per share) may be issued under the Equity Line at per-share prices set at nine-five percent (95%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (VWAP) of our common stock during the five (5) consecutive trading day period beginning on the date of delivery of the applicable put notice (such five-day period, the "Pricing Period").

Investment Agreement
We entered into the Investment Agreement with Dutchess on May 4, 2010. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Dutchess committed to purchase up to $5,000,000 of our common stock, over the course of 36 months. The obligations of Dutchess as imposed by the terms of this agreement are non-transferrable. The aggregate number of shares issuable by us and purchasable by Dutchess under the Investment Agreement is 125,000,000 (estimated using the last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on May 4, 2010 of $0.04 per share). To date, we have sold 11,000,000 of the available shares, as that was the number allowed under Rule 415 and attendant shelf-registration limitations.
We may draw on the facility from time to time, as and when we determine appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement. The maximum amount that we are entitled to put in any one notice is the greater of (i) 200% of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of the common stock for the three (3) trading days prior to the date of delivery of the applicable put notice, multiplied by the average of the closing prices for such trading days or (ii) $100,000. The purchase price shall be set at nine-five percent (95%) of the lowest daily VWAP of our common stock during the Pricing Period. However, if, on any trading day during a Pricing Period, the daily VWAP of the common stock is lower than the floor price specified by us in the put notice, then we reserve the right, but not the obligation, to withdraw that portion of the put amount for each such trading day during the Pricing Period, with only the balance of such put amount above the minimum acceptable price being put to Dutchess. There are put restrictions applied on days between the put notice date and the closing date with respect to that particular put. During such time, we are not entitled to deliver another put notice.
There are circumstances under which we will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess, including the following:
• we will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess unless there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of the shares by Dutchess;
• we will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess unless our common stock continues to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or becomes listed on a national securities exchange;
• we will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess to the extent that such shares would cause Dutchess's beneficial ownership to exceed 4.99% of our outstanding shares; and
• we will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess prior to the closing date of the preceding put.
The Investment Agreement further provides that the Company and Dutchess are each entitled to customary indemnification from the other for any losses or liabilities we or it suffers as a result of any breach by the other of any provisions of the Investment Agreement or our registration rights agreement with Dutchess, or as a result of any lawsuit brought by a third-party arising out of or resulting from the other party's execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Investment Agreement or the registration rights agreement.
The Investment Agreement also contains representations and warranties of each of the parties. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Investment Agreement and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Investment Agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what a stockholder or investor might view as material, or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts.
In connection with the preparation of the Investment Agreement and the registration rights agreement, we issued Dutchess 750,000 shares of common stock as a document preparation fee in the amount of $15,000. However, in the event that we received any funds from a current private placement or from Dutchess’ purchase of shares prior to the nine month anniversary of the issuance of the 750,000 shares, those shares could have been redeemed, at the discretion of Dutchess, for $15,000 in cash. The Company has redeemed those shares by making payment of $15,000 in cash to Dutchess.
Registration Rights Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 4, 2010, between Dutchess and us, we are obligated to file one or more registration statements with the SEC to register the resale by Dutchess of shares of common stock issued or issuable under the Investment Agreement. We filed, with the SEC, an initial registration statement on Form S-1, in order to access the credit line, covering the resale of the first 11,000,000 shares of common stock which is equal to eighteen point seven percent (18.7%) of our current public float (where "public float" shall be derived by subtracting the number of shares of common stock held by our officers, directors and "affiliates" (as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1) of the 1933 Act) from the total number of shares of our common stock then outstanding). We have agreed that, in the event that this initial registration fails to register all of the shares necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations, we will amend this statement of file new registration statements. This document is the first additional registration statement which is being filed in order to allow the Company to continue to access the credit line. This registration process will continue until such time as all of the dollar amounts available under the credit line, using shares of common stock issuable under the Investment Agreement, have been registered for resale on effective registration statements. In no event will we be obligated to register for resale more than $5,000,000 in value of shares of common stock, or 125,000,000 shares (estimated using the last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on May 4, 2010 of $0.04 per share).
Your investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider the risks described below and the other information contained in this prospectus carefully before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose a part or all of your investment.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
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, 2010, we have accumulated a loss of $42,666,383 and a net stockholders’ deficit of $1,658,104. 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, 2009 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.
Although we sold our first two MIT Systems during 2007 and a single additional System in October 2009, MIT is considered to be a development stage company. 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 market the MIT System. Failure to obtain any necessary approvals or failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, future government regulation could prevent or delay regulatory approval of our products.
If we fail to attract and retain key personnel, our ability to compete will be harmed
Our future success is highly dependent on our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, including technical personnel, executive officers and other key management. The loss or unavailability of services of one or more of our key employees, including 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.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
Because there is a limited market in our common stock, stockholders may have difficult in selling our common stock and our common stock may be subject to significant price swings.
There can be no assurance that an active market for our Common Stock will develop. If an active public market for our Common Stock does not develop, shareholders may not be able to re-sell the shares of our Common Stock that they own and affect the value of the Shares.
If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Companies trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, such as we, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. In addition, we may be unable to get re-listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, which may have an adverse material effect on our Company.
Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
·
|
that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
|
·
|
the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
|
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
·
|
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
|
·
|
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
|
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
·
|
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
|
·
|
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
|
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
The exercise of outstanding options and warrants may have a dilutive effect on the price of our common stock.
To the extent that outstanding stock options and warrants are exercised, dilution to our stockholders will occur. Moreover, the terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected, since the holders of the outstanding options and warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than the exercise terms provided by the outstanding options and warrants.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
We do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our Common Stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base and development and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our Common Stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of the our Board of Directors. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING
WE ARE REGISTERING THE RESALE OF A MAXIMUM OF 40,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, ALL OF WHICH MAY BE ISSUED TO DUTCHESS UNDER THE EQUITY LINE.THE RESALE OF SUCH SHARES BY DUTCHESS COULD DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
We are registering the resale of a maximum of 40,000,000 shares of common stock under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The sale of these shares into the public market by Dutchess could depress the market price of our common stock. As of June 10, 2011, there were 261,494,076 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. In total, we may issue up to 125,000,000 shares (estimated using last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on May 4, 2010 of $0.04 per share) to Dutchess pursuant to the Equity Line, meaning that, we are obligated to file one or more registration statements covering the remaining 59,000,000 shares not covered by the registration statement (or the Company’s registration statement covering 11,000,000 shares not covered by either registration statement. The sale of those additional shares into the public market by Dutchess could further depress the market price of our common stock.
EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS COULD EXPERIENCE SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION UPON THE ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK PURSUANT TO THE EQUITY LINE.
Our Equity Line with Dutchess contemplates our issuance of up to 125,000,000 shares (estimated using last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on May 22, 2010 of $0.04 per share) of our common stock to Dutchess, subject to certain restrictions and obligations. If the terms and conditions of the Equity Line are satisfied, and we choose to exercise our put rights to the fullest extent permitted and sell 125,000,000 shares of our common stock to Dutchess, our existing stockholders' ownership will be diluted by such sales.
DUTCHESS WILL PAY LESS THAN THE THEN-PREVAILING MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK UNDER THE EQUITY LINE.
The common stock to be issued to Dutchess pursuant to the Investment Agreement will be purchased at a 5% discount to the volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five consecutive trading day period beginning on the trading day immediately following the date of delivery of a put notice by us to Dutchess, subject to certain exceptions. Therefore, Dutchess has a financial incentive to sell our common stock upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If Dutchess sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS SUFFICIENT FUNDS UNDER THE EQUITY LINE WHEN NEEDED.
Our ability to put shares to Dutchess and obtain funds under the Equity Line is limited by the terms and conditions in the Investment Agreement, including restrictions on when we may exercise our put rights, restrictions on the amount we may put to Dutchess at any one time, which is determined in part by the trading volume of our common stock, and a limitation on our ability to put shares to Dutchess to the extent that it would cause Dutchess to beneficial own more than 4.99% of our outstanding shares. In addition, we do not expect the Equity Line to satisfy all of our funding needs, even if we are able and choose to take full advantage of the Equity Line.
We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of our common stock offered by Dutchess. However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock to Dutchess pursuant to the Investment Agreement. The proceeds from our exercise of the put option pursuant to the Investment Agreement will be used to support the commercialization of our current and future product candidates, for general working capital needs, for the reduction of indebtedness and for other purposes that our board of directors, in its good faith, deems to be in our best interest.
All net proceeds from the sale of the common stock covered by this prospectus will go to the selling stockholder. See "Selling Stockholder" and "Plan of Distribution" described below.
The information provided in the table and discussions below has been obtained from the selling stockholder. The table below identifies the selling stockholder and shows the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by it before and after this offering, and the numbers of shares offered for resale by the selling stockholder. Our registration of these shares does not necessarily mean that the selling stockholder will sell all or any of their shares of common stock. However, the "Shares Beneficially Owned After Offering" columns in the table assume that all shares covered by this prospectus will be sold by the selling stockholder and that no additional shares of common stock will be bought or sold by the selling stockholder. No estimate can be given as to the number of shares that will be held by the selling stockholder after completion of this offering because the selling stockholder may offer some or all of the shares and, to our knowledge, there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understanding with respect to the sale of any of the shares. In addition, the selling stockholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which it provided the information regarding the shares, all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The following table sets forth the name of the selling stockholder, an if applicable, the nature of any position, office, or other material relationship which the selling stockholder has had, within the past three years, with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates, the amount of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the stockholder prior to the offering, the amount being offered for the stockholder's account, the amount being offered for the stockholder's account and the amount to be owned by such stockholder after completion of the offering.

Dividends
We have not declared any dividends to date. We have no present intention of paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, as we intend to use earnings, if any, to generate growth. The payment by us of dividends, if any, in the future, rests within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, our capital requirements and our financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that restrict us from declaring dividends.

OUR 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) 388-4546.
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.
In February 2010, the Company changed the Company’s business trading name to Micro Identification Technologies, Inc, to better reflect the extensive capabilities of its microbial identification technologies.
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.
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 safety 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.
In June 2009, the Company received AOAC Research Institute (AOAC RI) Performance Test Methodtm (PTM) certification for the MIT 1000 System’s identification of Listeria species (PTM Certificate Number 060901). Listeria are known to be the bacteria responsible for listeriosis, a rare but lethal food-borne infection that has a devastating case fatality rate of 25% (Salmonella, in comparison, has a less than 1% mortality rate). They are incredibly hardy and able to grow in temperatures ranging from 4°C (39°F), the temperature of a refrigerator, to 37°C (99°F), the body's internal temperature. Furthermore, listeriosis' deadliness can be partially attributed to the infection's ability to spread to the nervous system and cause meningitis. This Certification enables the Company to aggressively begin marketing its System into the targeted food safety markets. Following Listeria certification, the Company’s next goal is to achieve PTM certifications for the identification of E.coli and Salmonella as these three bacteria are responsible for most of the food bacterial contamination events worldwide. Additional microbes will be certified as required by the market.
The clinical and food safety applications for our MIT System for rapid identification of microbes will in some cases 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 believe that the operating results from these installations has aided in further commercializing the MIT System for clinical and food safety applications. In October 2009, we sold an MIT system to a newly appointed Malaysian distributor which sells, markets and distributes research and scientific products for the countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). No assurances can be given, however, as to when or if additional Systems may be sold through this or any other distributor.
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.
Although the water monitoring and food safety applications for the MIT System will not require regulatory review and approval, these application will require more extensive development efforts because of the vast array of contaminants commonly found in water and food and the need to configure a unique method and apparatus for isolating the water or food being tested. For these reasons, we expect that a practical device for water monitoring and food safety applications of our technology will not be commercialized until we have successfully introduced and gained acceptance of an MIT System in the clinical and food safety 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 $3 billion annually. More detailed market validation will be conducted as our development program continues.
With regard to the MIT System, there are established methods of testing currently employed by both public and private agencies. However, these methods are labor intensive, expensive and time consuming, and do not provide the near “real time” monitoring capabilities which our product offers. We believe that the MIT System is the only microbe identification system that is not biologically based – that is, does not rely on biological agents or reagents.
The Markets for Microbe Identification
The number of applications for our laser-based rapid microbe identification 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 annually. 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 5 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 provided sales, marketing and business development services to the Company as a consultant and through his efforts, the Company has appointed seven (7) 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, South Korea, Turkey, Malaysia and a number of ASEAN countries (including Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines, and Myanmar). The expansion of the distributor network continues.
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 2010, we expended $687,687 primarily on our MIT System research program to develop a microbiological identification 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 2009, we spent $973,344 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 April 30, 2011, we employed 5 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 2011. 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.
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. On April 1, 2008, our lease payment increased to and remains at $3,895.00 per month through our lease extension date of March 31, 2011.
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.
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 September 3, 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those risks discussed under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2010 and 2009
We posted our first sale since fiscal 2007 of an MIT system in October 2009, for gross proceeds of $18,000. No product sales occurred during fiscal 2010. 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, 2010 decreased by $285,657 compared to the prior year expenses of $973,344. 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 was primarily due to a reduction in temporary labor expense, employee-related benefits and generally lower operating expenses. Consulting expenses during fiscal 2010 were also lower mainly due to a reduction in the fair market value of the Company’s stock issued as non-cash compensation.
Sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by $180,930 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 compared to the prior year period. The reduction primarily reflects a decrease in legal and consulting fees, a significant portion of which reflects the value of options and common stock issued as compensation during fiscal 2010. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in expenses related to shareholder relations activities to generate an interest in investments in the company.
Interest income is generated from short-term investments and showed no change in fiscal 2010.
Interest expense for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010 decreased by $128,829 compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease reflects the fact that the costs of issuing a number of convertible debentures in prior years were fully amortized during fiscal 2009.
Components of other expense, other than interest, increased by $192,958 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 compared to the prior year. The increase mainly reflects the fact that during fiscal 2009, the Company realized a gain on interest waived of $151,860 on settlement of the Divine Capital lawsuit and $39,746 on conversion of loans from our majority shareholder, with no similar gains during the current fiscal year.
We recorded the minimum state income tax provision in fiscal 2010 and 2009 as we had cumulative net operating losses in all tax jurisdictions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At October 31, 2010, we had working capital deficit of $1,610,150. This represents a working capital decrease of $806,687 compared to that reported at October 31, 2009. The decrease primarily reflects an increase in current liabilities due to lack of working capital to service the debt.
We sold no products in fiscal 2010. Our primary source of cash during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 has been from the sale of equity and convertible debentures and loans from an unaffiliated shareholders and our majority shareholder, Anthony M. Frank. Between November 2009 and April 2010, we borrowed $202,000 from various unaffiliated shareholders. Between April and October 2010, we sold 6,050,000 shares of common stock in private placement transactions for net proceeds of $180,000 from two non-affiliates. We also sold 1,558,736 shares of common stock to Dutchess Capital for net proceeds of $32,491. We also borrowed $20,000 in March and $30,000 in July 2010 from our majority shareholder. In addition, we sold a total of $87,500 in convertible debentures between August and October 2010 to Asher Enterprises, Inc.
Management estimates that it required working capital approximating $46,500 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, 2010 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 technology, 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.
Equity Financing Arrangements
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. The Securities Purchase Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC was terminated by the Company on May 6, 2010 without costs or transactions having occurred.
On May 4, 2010, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (“Investment Agreement”) with Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Investor committed to purchase up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s common stock over thirty-nine months (the “Equity Line”). The aggregate number of shares issuable by the Company and purchasable by Dutchess under the Investment Agreement is 125,000,000 (estimated using the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on May 4, 2010 of $0.04 per share).
The Company may draw on the facility from time to time, as and when it determines appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement. The maximum amount that the Company is entitled to put in any one notice is the greater of (i) 200% of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of the common stock for the three (3) trading days prior to the date of delivery of the applicable put notice, multiplied by the average of the closing prices for such trading days or (ii) $100,000. The purchase price shall be set at nine-five percent (95%) of the lowest daily VWAP of the Company’s common stock during the Pricing Period. However, if, on any trading day during a Pricing Period, the daily volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the common stock is lower than the floor price specified by us in the put notice, then the Company reserves the right, but not the obligation, to withdraw that portion of the put amount for each such trading day during the Pricing Period, with only the balance of such put amount above the minimum acceptable price being put to Dutchess. There are put restrictions applied on days between the put notice date and the closing date with respect to that particular put. During such time, the Company is not entitled to deliver another put notice.
There are circumstances under which the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess, including the following:
• the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess unless there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of the shares by Dutchess;
• the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess unless its common stock continues to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or becomes listed on a national securities exchange;
• the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess to the extent that such shares would cause Dutchess' beneficial ownership to exceed 4.99% of our outstanding shares; and
• the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess prior to the closing date of the preceding put.
The Investment Agreement further provides that the Company and Dutchess are each entitled to customary indemnification from the other for any losses or liabilities we or it suffers as a result of any breach by the other of any provisions of the Investment Agreement or our registration rights agreement with Dutchess, or as a result of any lawsuit brought by a third-party arising out of or resulting from the other party's execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Investment Agreement or the registration rights agreement.
The Investment Agreement also contains representations and warranties of each of the parties. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Investment Agreement and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Investment Agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what a stockholder or investor might view as material, or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts.
The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Dutchess on May 4, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to file one or more registration statements with the SEC to register the resale by Dutchess of shares of common stock issued or issuable under the Investment Agreement. On May 7, 2010, the Company filed an initial registration statement on Form S-1 in order to access the credit line, covering the resale of the 11,000,000 shares of common stock which is equal to eighteen point seven percent (18.7%) of the Company’s current public float (where "public float" shall be derived by subtracting the number of shares of common stock held by the Company’s officers, directors and "affiliates" (as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1) of the 1933 Act) from the total number of shares of our common stock then outstanding). This Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 31, 2010. This registration process will continue until such time as all of the dollar amounts available under the credit line, using shares of common stock issuable under the Investment Agreement, have been registered for resale on effective registration statements. In no event will the Company be obligated to register for resale more than $5,000,000 in value of shares of common stock, or 125,000,000 shares (estimated using the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on May 4, 2010 of $0.04 per share).
During September and October 2010, the Company issued six (6) puts under the investment agreement with Dutchess and sold 1,558,736 shares of common stock to Dutchess at prices ranging from $0.0175 to $0.0225 per share for net proceeds of $32,492. An additional 2,109,644 shares have been sold to Dutchess subsequent to October 31, 2010 for net proceeds of $18,641.
In connection with the preparation of the Investment Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company issued Dutchess 750,000 shares of common stock as a document preparation fee in the amount of $15,000. However, in the event that the Company receives any funds from a current private placement or from Dutchess’ purchase of shares prior to the nine month anniversary of the issuance of the 750,000 shares, those shares could have been redeemed, at the discretion of Dutchess, for $15,000 in cash. As of October 31, 2010, the Company redeemed the shares by making payment of $15,000 in cash from the above private placements proceeds to Dutchess.
Between August and October, 2010, we sold $87,500 in convertible debentures to Asher Enterprises, Inc. which are convertible into common shares, at the discretion of the holder, commencing 180 days following the date of the Note. The loans bear interest at 8% per annum and are convertible at a 39% discount to the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to conversion. Asher purchased an additional $25,000 convertible debenture in November 2010. Asher also holds a $64,865 and a $25,000 convertible debenture which it purchased in October and December 2010, respectively, from two other lenders. A total of $38,000 of such debentures were converted into common stock subsequent to October 31, 2010.
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 loans and equity sales are expected to satisfy our working capital requirements through October 2011. 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.
Fiscal Quarters Ended April 30, 2011 and 2010
Results of Operations
References to fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 are for the six month periods ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The Company had no sales revenue during the six months ended April 30, 2011.
Research and development expenses for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2011 decreased by $20,648 and $26,634, 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 decrease reflects reductions in expenditures across the board, particularly in consulting and employee benefit-related expenses.
Sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by $86,451 and $152,598 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the prior year period due, primarily, to a decrease in consulting fees paid with common stock.
The Company realized minimal interest income during the six months ended April 30, 2011 as investment capital was utilized to sustain operations. Interest expense for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2011 decreased by $441,357 and $433,789, respectively, compared to the prior period. The difference reflects the decrease in the costs of borrowings conducted by the Company during fiscal 2010 and the amortization of interest on beneficial conversion features on debentures issued during that time frame.
We recorded the minimum state income tax provision in fiscal 2011 and 2010 as we had cumulative net operating losses in all tax jurisdictions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At April 30, 2011, we had working capital deficit of $1,882,849. This represents a working capital decrease of $317,591 compared to that reported at October 31, 2010. 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 only source of cash during the six months ended April 30, 2011 has been from a $4,000 loan from an officer and director as well as convertible loans totaling $139,865 and the sale of common stock for $60,192. Management estimates that it utilized $36,000 per month in working capital on operations for the six months ended April 30, 2011, compared to the approximate $66,300 per month expended during the six month period ended April 30, 2010.
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, 2010 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.
During the six months ended April 30, 2011, we sold $44,711 in common stock, net of bank fees, and received $169,811 in loans which are convertible into common stock at any time prior to their maturity date and bear interest at eight percent (8%) per the agreement. The Company continues to seek additional loans.
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, and Vietnam. BioTek has committed to purchase five (5) Systems by August 2011 and the Company has one outstanding order.
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 August 2011. 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 a 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.

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions received by them or any profit on the resale of shares by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions thereunder. The proposed amounts of the common stock, if any, to be purchased by underwriters and the compensation, if any, of underwriters, dealers or agents will be set forth in a prospectus supplement.
Unless granted an exemption by the SEC from Regulation M under the Exchange Act, or unless otherwise permitted under Regulation M, the selling stockholder will not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our common stock, will furnish each broker or dealer engaged by the selling stockholder and each other participating broker or dealer the number of copies of this prospectus required by such broker or dealer, and will not bid for or purchase any common stock of our or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of the common stock other than as permitted under the Exchange Act.

We are paying certain expenses (other than commissions and discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents) incidental to the offering and sale of the common stock to the public. If we are required to update this prospectus during such period, we may incur additional expenses in excess of the amount estimated above. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, subject to certain exceptions.
In order to comply with certain state securities laws, if applicable, the common stock will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In certain states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc.
I have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) (A Development Stage Company) as of October 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary (A Development Stage Company) as of October 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has limited liquid resources, negative working capital, recurring losses with an accumulated deficit of $42,666,383 at October 31, 2010, and is seeking to implement its business plan, which requires the Company to complete the development and marketing of 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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 noncontrolling (minority) stockholders of the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, Micro Imaging Technology (MIT) exceed the value of the equity held by the noncontrolling 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, 2010. Commencing November 1, 2009, in accordance with the guidance provided under FASB Codification No. 810, (Consolidation-Noncontrolling Interests) the Company’s annual and interim reports will present losses by the subsidiary separately from that attributable to the parent and separately in the equity section of the balance sheets.
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.
The Company incurred net losses from continuing operations of $3,080,464 and $3,475,892 for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. At October 31, 2010 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $42,666,383 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 in the prior and current fiscal years through loans from an individual who is a related party and the largest stockholder, through the sale of convertible debentures 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.

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, 2010 and 2009, 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, 2010 and 2009.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company measures share based compensation at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and recognizes such compensation 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 $67,890 and $101,234 on options and warrants that vested during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The activity under the Company’s stock option plans are included in Note 9.
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.
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary
(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, 2010 or 2009.
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 (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss) of the entity. Common stock equivalents of 11,400,000 and 7,150,000 as of October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, have been omitted from the earnings (loss) per share calculation, as their effect would be antidilutive.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
New Accounting Pronouncements
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. ASU 2010-6 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this ASU has not had an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, "Subsequent Events (Topic 855) - Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements." ASU 2010-09 requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement that an SEC filer disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. ASC 2010-09 was effective upon issuance. The adoption of this standard had no effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
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. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. The Company does not have any variable-interest entities.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01- Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments in this Update clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 regarding accounting and reporting for decreases in ownership of a subsidiary. Under this guidance, an entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, and entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in its ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction. This ASU clarifies the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions, and expands the disclosures about the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or de-recognition of a group of assets. This ASU is effective for beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 31, 2009. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28 When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts, which modifies goodwill impairment testing for reporting units with a zero or negative carrying amount. Under the new guidance, an entity must consider whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists for each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount. If it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, the second step of the goodwill impairment test in FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC) 350-20-35, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Goodwill, must be performed to measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss, if any. Under the new guidance, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative, an entity must assess whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists. To make that determination, an entity should consider whether there are adverse qualitative factors that could impact the amount of goodwill, including those listed in ASC 350-20-35-30. Those factors include, for example, an adverse business climate, unexpected competition, a loss of key personnel, or a more-likely-than-not expectation that part, or all, of the reporting unit will be disposed of. As a result of the new guidance, an entity can no longer assert that a reporting unit is not required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test because the carrying amount of the reporting unit is zero or negative, despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate goodwill is more likely than not impaired.
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The amended guidance in ASU 2010-28 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption prohibited. The Company does not expect that adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
There were various other updates recently issued, many 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.

Convertible Debentures
|
Anthony M. Frank
On March 16, 2009, Mr. Frank purchased a $75,000 convertible debenture for which the Company has expensed $12,205 in accrued interest as of October 31, 2010. 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 six months at 120% of the principal value, plus interest; or 2) if after six months, at 131% of principal, plus interest. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, $25,000, is being amortized over the three-year life of the debenture. This amount is reflected as a long term liability.
Asher Enterprises, Inc.
On August 16, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc. in connection with the issuance of an 8% convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000. The Note matures on May 18, 2011 and is convertible into common shares at a 39% discount to the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date. Asher may convert any or all of the unpaid principal note prior to the maturity date, commencing 180 days following the date of the Note. The Company received the proceeds of the Note on September 8, 2010, less a $3,000 reimbursement to Asher for fees and expenses related to the referenced agreements. The debentures carry a beneficial conversion feature allowing conversion at the option of the holder at any time after purchase into common stock at 61% of the average of the lowest three closing bids during the ten trading days ending one trading day prior to the date the conversion notice is sent. The Company has calculated the intrinsic value of the conversion feature as of the date of issuance of the debentures (using the same criteria as noted above) and will amortize the $31,967 cost over the 9-month life of the loan.
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
On October 5, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc. in connection with the issuance of an 8% convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $37,500. The Note matures on July 8, 2011 and is convertible into common shares at a 39% discount to the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date. Asher may convert any or all of the unpaid principal note prior to the maturity date, commencing 180 days following the date of the Note. The Company received the proceeds of the Note on October 12, 2010, less a $2,500 reimbursement to Asher for fees and expenses related to the referenced agreements. The value of the conversion feature, $23,975, is being amortized over the life of the loan.
On October 26, 2010, Asher Enterprises entered into a Purchase Agreement with an unaffiliated noteholder to purchase the Amended and Restated 10% Convertible Note issued to the latter by the Company in the aggregate amount of $64,865 for a $60,000 loan made to the Company in June 2009, plus the $4,865 in interest accrued on such loan. The Note matures on May 31, 2012 and is convertible into common shares at a 42% discount to the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date. Asher may convert any or all of the unpaid principal note prior to the maturity date. The Company has calculated the intrinsic value of the conversion feature as of the date of issuance of the debentures (using the same criteria as noted above) and will amortize the $46,971 cost over the life of the loan. This amount has been reflected as a long term liability.
On November 2, 2010, Asher converted $15,000 of this note at $0.0075 per share and received 2 million shs of common stock. An additional $10,000 was converted on November 9, 2010 at $0.0074 per share, for another 1,351,351 shares. On November 16, 2010, an additional $10,000 was converted at $0.0054 for 1,851,852 shares.
Similar purchase and conversion transactions have occurred with Asher subsequent to October 31, 2010. See Note 13 – “Subsequent Events.” Concurrent with the issuance of these notes, the Company, as requested by the above creditor, has instructed it stock transfer agent to reserve an agreed upon number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued if the notes are converted. As of October 31, 2010, 62,232,374 shares have been reserved, but are not considered as issued and outstanding.

The Company, based upon its history of losses and management’s assessment of when operations are anticipated to generate taxable income, has concluded that it is more likely than not that none of the net deferred income tax assets will be realized through future taxable earnings and has established a valuation allowance for them. The change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended October 31, 2010 was an increase of $1,472,000.

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.
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value. The terms of the Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Such shares may be convertible into Common Stock and may have rank superior to the Common Stock in the payment of dividends, liquidation rights, voting and other rights, preferences and privileges. Future shares of Preferred Stock may be issued by the Company without submitting a proposal regarding the issuance of such shares to a vote of holders of Common Stock. The Company in the future could issue Preferred Stock in a situation designed to discourage a tender offer. The Company has no present plans to issue any shares of Preferred Stock.
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
In January 2001, the Board of Directors authorized 250,000 shares of Series C preferred stock. Each share of Series C preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder into four (4) shares of common stock. As of October 31, 2010, there were no shares of Series C preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Also in January 2001, the Board of Directors authorized 500,000 shares of Series D preferred stock each of which is convertible into two (2) shares of common stock at the option of the holder. There were no shares of Series D preferred stock issued or outstanding at October 31, 2010.
Voting Rights
Each share of the Company’s common stock and redeemable preferred stock is entitled to one vote per share. Shares of the Company’s Series C and Series D convertible preferred stock carry no voting rights.
Liquidation Preferences
In the event of liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of the common stock and redeemable preferred stock shall be entitled to receive an equal amount per share, provided, however, in no instance shall a share of redeemable preferred stock receive more than $0.01 per share.
In any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holder of the Series C convertible preferred stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference of $4 per share.
In any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holder of the Series D convertible preferred stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference of $2 per share.
9. Stock Options and Warrants
Common Stock Options
In May 1999, the Company adopted the Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. 1999 stock option plan (the “plan”), for officers, directors, employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company. The plan provides two types of options: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options. The plan authorizes the granting of options up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price per share on options granted may not be less than the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. The exercise price per share of Incentive stock options granted to anyone who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of the Company’s common stock must be a minimum of 110% of the fair market value per share at the date of grant. The options exercise price may be paid in cash or its equivalent including cashless exercises as determined and approved by the plan administrator. 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. All remaining options available under the Plan, 140,000, were granted under this plan to an employee during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
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.

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.
During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company granted warrants as follows:
On February 8, 2010, the Company granted two-year warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock as partial consideration for a $30,000 loan. The warrants vest in full as of the grant date with an exercise price of $0.03 per share. The fair market value of these warrants was also recorded as consulting expense in the amount of $24,745 as of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010.
On October 28, 2010, the Board granted warrants to purchase a total of 4,000,000 shares of common stock to two consultants to the Company. The warrants are exercisable until October 28, 2012 at $0.011 per share. The Company recognized a non-cash compensation expense of $37,532 on these issuances.
The following table summarizes the information relating to warrants granted to non-employees as of October 31, 2010 and 2009 and changes during the years then ended. Warrants outstanding at October 31, 2010 expire between September 2011 and October 2012.

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, 2010 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 April 30, 2011, the Company owns eighty point seven percent (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 six months ended April 30, 2011. 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.
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 April 30, 2011 and results of operations for the periods presented.

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 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company has not experienced any material change in its critical accounting policies since November 1, 2010. 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.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for a period. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Potential common shares outstanding principally include convertible notes payable and stock options under our stock plan. Since the Company has incurred losses, the effect of any common stock equivalent would be anti-dilutive.

Stock Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation costs for stock options issued to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).
No stock-based compensation was recognized during the six months ended April 30, 2011.
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 ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of the Company’s common stock must be a minimum of one hundred ten percent (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 ten (10) years, except that for those who own ten percent (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 (10) 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 stock option 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.

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.

In January 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-01: Receivables (Topic 310): Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20. In the Update for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, the Board proposed that the clarifications would be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. For the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20, those clarifications would be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the fiscal year in which the proposal is adopted. Under ASU 2010-20: Receivables (Topic 310)-Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, issued in July 2010, public-entity creditors would have provided disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in Update 2011-01, temporarily defer that effective date, enabling public-entity creditors to provide those disclosures after the Board clarifies the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The deferral in this Update will result in more consistent disclosures about troubled debt restructurings. This amendment does not defer the effective date of the other disclosure requirements in Update 2010-20.

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 eighty percent (80%) of the lowest closing bid price per share for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding conversion. The debentures are also redeemable by the Company: 1) if before three months at one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the principal value, plus interest; or 2) if after three months, at one hundred thirty one percent (131%) of principal, plus interest.
During the six months ended April 30, 2011, the Company expensed $3,719 in accrued interest on the above debenture. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature (which represents the twenty percent (20%) discount in the conversion price of the common stock) was determined to be $18,750 and is being amortized over the three-year life of the debenture. The Company expensed $3,099 of this cost during the six months ended April 30, 2011.
Asher Enterprises, Inc.
On August 16, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc. in connection with the issuance of an eight percent (8%) convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000. The Note matures on May 18, 2011 and is convertible into common shares at a thirty nine percent (39%) discount to the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date. Asher may convert any or all of the unpaid principal note prior to the maturity date, commencing one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of the Note. The Company received the proceeds of the Note on September 8, 2010, less a $3,000 reimbursement to Asher for fees and expenses related to the referenced agreements. The debentures carry a beneficial conversion feature allowing conversion at the option of the holder at any time after purchase into common stock at sixty one percent (61%) of the average of the lowest three closing bids during the ten trading days ending one trading day prior to the date the conversion notice is sent. The Company calculated the intrinsic value of the conversion feature as of the date of issuance of the debentures (using the same criteria as noted above) and fully amortized the $31,967 cost as of April 30, 2011 pursuant to the fact that between March 9 and April 25, 2011, Asher converted the full principal balance of the Note into 20,480,039 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.0014 to $0.0035 per share.

Asher may convert any or all of the unpaid principal note prior to the maturity date, commencing one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of the Note. The Company received the proceeds of the Note on October 12, 2010, less a $2,500 reimbursement to Asher for fees and expenses related to the referenced agreements. The value of the conversion feature, $23,975, is being amortized over the life of the loan and the Company has expensed $18,381 of that amount as of April 30, 2011.
On October 26, 2010, Asher Enterprises entered into third a Purchase Agreement with an unaffiliated note holder to purchase the Amended and Restated ten percent (10%) Convertible Note issued to the latter by the Company in the aggregate amount of $64,865 for a $60,000 loan made to the Company in June 2009, plus the $4,865 in interest accrued on such loan. The Note matures on May 31, 2012 and is convertible into common shares at a forty two percent (42%) discount to the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date. Asher may convert any or all of the unpaid principal note prior to the maturity date. The Company has calculated the intrinsic value of the conversion feature to be $46,971 as of the date of issuance of the debentures using the same criteria as noted above. Between November 2, 2010 and January 26,
2011, Asher converted the entire principal amount of the note into a total of 13,741,791 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $.0034 to $.0075 per share.

Convertible Term Loans
Between November 1, 2009 and April 20, 2010, the Company borrowed $157,000 from five unaffiliated lenders and $20,000 from our largest stockholder. The Convertible Term Loans mature in twelve (12) months, bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum and require 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 (which was subsequently terminated by the Company on May 6, 2010), and/or from other equity funding. The loans are convertible, at the option of the lender, into common stock at a twenty percent (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. One lender also received a two-year warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $0.03 per share as additional consideration for a $30,000 loan.
During April 2010, the Company borrowed an additional $25,000 under the terms of the above Convertible Term Loans. However, this loan provides that it is convertible at the option of the lender, into common stock at a twenty percent (20%) discount to fair market value of $0.05 per share, whichever is greater.
Including the $25,000 loan transferred by Mr. Brennan as discussed above under “Notes Payable,” as of April 30, 2011, the Company had issued 4,540,000 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the above $227,000 in loans and has expensed an aggregate of $13,507 in interest accrued on the loans.

Also, on April 9, 2010, a consultant to the Company converted $55,000 into a convertible term loan. The funds converted represented unpaid fees and expenses that had been accrued on the Company’s books. The terms of the loans are identical to the above Convertible Term Loans received through March 2010 and provide for the issuance of common stock as additional consideration. Consequently, the Company expensed $305,000 on the issuance of 6,100,000 shares of common stock for these loans and expensed $14,891 in interest accrued on the loans as of April 30, 2011.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our By-laws, as amended, provide to the fullest extent permitted by California law, our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our By-laws, as amended, is to eliminate our right and our shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our By-laws, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act” or “Securities Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In May, 2007, the Company entered into indemnification agreements with each of the Officers and Directors of the Corporation individually.

Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement on Form S-1 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of San Clemente, State of California, on July 15, 2011.
