Item 1. | Description of Business |
COMPANY OVERVIEW
We were incorporated in December 1979 in California under the name HOH Water Technology Corporation and changed our name to Electropure, Inc. in 1996. In November 2005, we again changed our name to Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. as a condition of the sale of our EDI assets (see discussion of Electropure EDI, Inc. below). Our address and telephone number is: 970 Calle Amanecer, Suite F, San Clemente, California 92673 – (949) 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. The Company is also registered to do business under the trade name Micro 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.
5 |
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.
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 food processing and clinical laboratory 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 also demonstrated in proof-of-principal testing, identification of the bacteria E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria typhi Salmonella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. The Company intends to add to the System the ability to identify additional pathogens including, but not limited to, Klebsiella, Proteus, Shigella.
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”) 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 accuracy was 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 Association of Advanced Communities (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.
In April 2012, the Company submitted applications to the AOAC RI for Performance Test Method Certification for the MIT 1000 System’s for accurate bacterial identifications of the pathogens E. coli and Salmonella. When certified for the two additional pathogenic bacteria identification processes, the Company’s System will have the proven capability of identifying over 90 percent of all bacteria-causing, food-related illnesses. Additional microbes will be certified as required by the market.
The food processing and clinical 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 processing 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 application for the MIT System will not require regulatory review and approval, this application will require more extensive development efforts because of the vast array of contaminants commonly found in water and the need to configure a unique method and apparatus for isolating the water being tested. For these reasons, we expect that a practical device for the water monitoring application of our technology will not be commercialized until we have successfully introduced and gained acceptance of an MIT System in the clinical and food processing market segments.
Based on a very preliminary evaluation of market needs and the size and number of possible customers, we estimate that the market potential for the MIT System in all of the above domestic market areas could exceed $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 rapid 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 detection system is large, including food inspection, clinical applications and water testing. However, we have elected in the near term to focus on food inspection:
The Food and Drug Administration currently requires elaborate laboratory procedures taking up to 64 hours to identify E. coli, Salmonella or Listeria. According to industry analysts at Strategic Consultants, Inc (Scarborough, ME.) there were over 144 million microbiology tests performed in almost 6,000 plants. The analysts further report that food manufacturers and processors anticipate a continued increase in testing as regulatory agencies require more surveillance and monitoring programs. The MIT system identifies bacteria, after culturing, 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. In 2008, the Company ceased its business arrangement with JMAR which subsequently discontinued its business. JMAR was a San Diego, California based company that had a direct sales and support organization and manufactured laser-based products for multiple markets, including homeland security, the cruise ship and beverage industries, pharmaceutical companies, and municipal water utilities.
In August 2007, we engaged the services of John Ricardi, JMAR’s former Vice President for Sales and Marketing. Mr. Ricardi provides sales, marketing and business development services to the Company and through his efforts thus far, the Company has appointed 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).
Patents
In July 2002, we were granted U.S. Patent No. 6,639,672 on our MIT rapid microbe detection technology. Due to a clerical oversight, the patent expired in October 2011 for failure to pay the required maintenance fee. Payment was submitted in October 2012 and the patent was reinstated in January 2013. We also received a U.S. Continuation-in-part patent on this technology on October 28, 2003 which, likewise, expired in July 2010. Company has paid the delinquent fee and applied to reinstate such patent and is currently awaiting approval from the U.S. Patent Office.
On May 8, 2012, Alpine MIT Partners, LLC filed a lien against the Company’s patents under the California Uniform Commercial Code. See also “Item 3. Legal Proceedings.”

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” and “Micro Identification Technologies” are registered trademarks of the Company.
Research and Development
During fiscal 2012, we expended $489,044 primarily on our MIT System research program to develop a microbiological detection and monitoring system derived from the technology acquired from Wyatt in October 1997. We concluded Phase 1 research on the Micro Imaging System in 1998 with a laboratory system that was used to prove the scientific principal and initiated phase two of our research program which resulted in the development of a more advanced system and the culmination of the library for the identification for various pathogens. We expect to continue to incur and accelerate additional research and development costs on this MIT System project through continued product development and library expansion efforts.
During fiscal 2011, we spent $460,275 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.
Personnel
As of October 31, 2012, we employed 7 full-time employees or consultants, of whom three were engaged in administrative, marketing, accounting and clerical functions and four were engaged in research and development of the Company’s MIT System. To implement our MIT business strategies, we anticipate that we will hire additional employees in fiscal 2013. However, we cannot predict with any certainty when we will hire any additional personnel. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good and we are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement. Our future success will be dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.
Risks and Uncertainties
Failure to raise additional capital could seriously reduce our ability to compete or harm our ability to continue operations
From time to time we have experienced and continue to experience working capital shortfalls that slowed the development of our research on the MIT technology. We will be required to raise substantial amounts of new financing, through equity investments, loans or strategic alliances, to carry out our business objectives. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us and at the time we require, or at all. Further, any such financing may cause substantial dilution of the interests of current stockholders. 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 stockholders or will be on terms satisfactory to us.
8 |
We have a history of losses which are likely to continue
From our inception in 1979 through October 31, 2012, we have accumulated a loss of $45,411,481 and a net stockholders’ deficit of $477,731. 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, 2012 contains an explanatory paragraph as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, our negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in the notes to the financial statements and in Item 6 - “MANAGEMENTS’ DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.”
Although we sold our first two MIT Systems during 2007 and a single additional System in October 2009, MIT is considered to be a research and development operation. As such, it has no significant or recurring operating income and its prospects must be considered speculative considering the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in the development of a new technology. While laboratory results and other tests have been encouraging, substantial additional development efforts will be required. The development of the MIT System involves significant risks, which a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. There can be no assurance that unanticipated problems will not occur which would result in material delays in our product development, or that our efforts will result in successful product commercialization on a sustainable level. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitable operations.
We have limited patent protection
Should the Company’s effort to reinstate its expired patent be successful, we would own two U.S. patents on our MIT technology. (See also “Development of our Business – Patents” above.) 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.
9 |
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing the MIT System to respond to technological changes or evolving industry standards, that we will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of the MIT System, or that any new products will adequately satisfy the requirements of prospective customers and achieve market acceptance. If we are unable to develop and introduce new or improved products in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
Dependent upon the field of application, the MIT System, when commercialized, may be subject to extensive regulation by numerous governmental authorities and regulatory agencies worldwide prior to introduction of the product. The process of obtaining required regulatory approvals may be lengthy and expensive depending on the jurisdiction. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary approvals to conduct clinical trials for the manufacturing and marketing of products, that all necessary clearances will be granted to us for future products on a timely basis, or at all, or that review or other actions by the regulatory agencies will not involve delays adversely affecting the marketing and sale of our products. In addition, the testing and approval process with respect to certain products which we may develop or seek to introduce may take a substantial number of years and involve the expenditure of substantial resources. There can be no assurance that the MIT System will be cleared for marketing by the regulatory agencies of the countries in which we seek to gain distribution rights. Failure to obtain any necessary approvals or failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, future government regulation could prevent or delay regulatory approval of our products.
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 difficulty 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, stockholders may not be able to re-sell the shares of our Common Stock that they own and affect the value of the stock.
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.
10 |
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.
Item 2. | Properties |
In January 2006, we executed a one-year lease, with an option to renew for up to five one-year terms, on a 4,100 sq. ft. facility in San Clemente, California commencing on April 1, 2006 at the rate of $3,650 per month. 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, 2013.
11 |
In late December 2011, the Company was served with an unlawful detainer action brought by the landlord for non-payment of back rent. On February 13, 2012, the Company paid all past due rent, totaling $27,265 through February 2012, and $8,858 in interest, fees and penalties. The Company remains at its San Clemente, California facility and has signed an extension of the lease through March 2013.
Management believes that our present facilities in San Clemente, California, provided we are able to negotiate with the landlord to remain, will be adequate for all of our current operations, and those contemplated for the foreseeable future. Our property is covered by insurance at this time.
Item 3. | Legal Proceedings |
On May 16, 2012, Alpine MIT Partners, LLC (Plaintiffs) filed a civil action against the Company and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey G. Nunez, (collectively, the Company), in the Texas District Court, Travis County. Plaintiffs alleged breach of contract and civil conspiracy, as well as tortious interference with contractual relations and prospective business relations. The lawsuit alleges that the Company breached certain provisions of a March 7, 2012 Securities Purchase Agreement the Company executed with the Plaintiff to sell up to $2.0 million of 7% Senior Secured five-year Convertible Debentures convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $.003 per share. The purchase and sale of the first $1.0 million Debenture was scheduled to close on or before April 6, 2012 and was subject to, among other things, Alpine closing the necessary equity funding to consummate the transactions. No money was ever received by the Company from Alpine.
The lawsuit also suggests that the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey G. Nunez, has a history of regulatory and securities law violations. The Company’s Board of Directors has researched the matter and understands that in January 2004, Mr. Nunez was requested by the NASD to appear and provide testimony pursuant to NASD Rule 8210. Mr. Nunez did not appear, but agreed not to associate in any capacity, in the future, with NASD member firms. The Company’s Board of Directors believes this to be of no consequence with respect to Mr. Nunez’ qualifications to serve as a board member and chief executive officer of the Company.
On January 10, 2013, the Company learned that Plaintiffs had filed a lien against the Company’s patents on May 8, 2012 with the California Secretary of State under the Uniform Commercial Code. The Company is considering taking action to vacate the lien as well as other legal remedies against the Plaintiffs that may be available to the Company in California.
A hearing on the Company’s motion to change the venue of this matter from Texas to California is scheduled for February 2013. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit and believes that it will prevail if this matter should go to trial.

The Company sold an additional 71,619,193 shares of common stock in private placement transactions with a major stockholder for proceeds of $151,661 at prices ranging from $0.015 to $0.003 per share.

The same major shareholder purchased an additional 200 million shares of common stock for $0.001 per share to a major stockholder between May and September 2012 for proceeds of $200,000. He also received a one-year option to purchase up to 33,333,333 shares of common stock at $0.003 per share.

Between May 9 and September 28, 2012, the Company issued a total of 800 million shares of common stock to Gregg Newhuis, a Director of the Company, for proceeds of $800,000, or $0.001 per share. See also Item 13 – “Subsequent Events” – in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2012, Mr. Newhuis also received a one-year option to purchase up to 400 million shares of common stock at $0.003 per share. The option was subsequently cancelled in October 2012.
On July 31, 2012, the Company issued 52,490,774 shares of common stock to an employee in lieu of accrued payroll and vacation totaling $183,718 at a conversion price of $0.0035 per share. Due to certain considerations, including but not limited to the fact that the shares issued to this employee are restricted under Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and that there is a limited market for the sale of the Company’s common stock, the Company valued the shares issued at $27,558 and accrued the employer portion of payroll taxes due on that amount for $2,108.

The Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock since its incorporation. We anticipate that, in the foreseeable future, earnings, if any, will be retained for use in the business or for other corporate purposes and it is not anticipated that cash dividends will be paid. Payment of dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and may be limited by future loan agreements or California law. Under California law, a corporation may pay dividends if the amount of the retained earnings of the corporation immediately prior thereto equals or exceeds the amount of the proposed distribution. California law also provides that if a corporation does not have retained earnings at least equal to the amount of the proposed distribution, it may pay dividends provided that after giving effect thereto, (a) the sum of the assets of the corporation (exclusive of goodwill, capitalized research and development expenses or deferred charges) would be at least equal to one and one-quarter times its liabilities (not including deferred taxes, deferred income and other deferred credits) and (b) the current assets of the corporation would be at least equal to the current liabilities or, if the average of the earnings of the corporation before taxes on income and for interest expense for the two preceding fiscal years was less than the average of interest expense of the corporation for such fiscal years, the current assets must be at least equal to one and one-quarter times its current liabilities.
Item 6. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2012 and 2011
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 2012 and 2011. Our limited working capital has not yet allowed us to spend any significant resources on advertising and marketing efforts.
14 |
Research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 increased by $28,769 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 overall increase primarily reflects $35,562 in additional expenditures for materials and supplies; a $60,984 increase in temporary labor expense for lab technicians; additional expense of $21,432 for depreciation of fixed assets and $14,151 for office expenses. These increases were offset by a $114,726 decrease in consulting expenses in fiscal 2012.
Sales, general and administrative expenses increased by $97,916 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period. The increase relates to $72,247 for travel, meals and entertainment; $44,343 for salaries in the current fiscal year; rent for the Company’s Chief Financial Officer from November 2011 through June 2012 in the sum of $10,400; a $12,443 increase in shareholder relations expenses, increases of $12,923 and $25,357 for legal fees and advertising costs, respectively, and $8,246 in bank and financing fees. These increases were offset by a $76,742 decrease in consulting expenses during the current fiscal year.
Interest income is generated from short-term investments and showed no significant change in fiscal 2012.
Interest expense for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 decreased by $148,537 compared to the prior fiscal year and primarily reflects the costs of borrowing during the prior fiscal period and the first six months of fiscal 2012.
The Company recognized $56,747 in non-cash gain related to certain convertible notes with beneficial conversion features. This loss is a result of the Company’s accounting for these beneficial conversion features as derivative instruments (Series 1 Notes).
Components of other income, other than interest, increased by $259,987 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 compared to the prior year resulting from debt settlements and writing off accrued interest on notes payable and writing off a number of long-standing accounts payable which the Company contests and for which no demand has been made in over four years.
We recorded the minimum state income tax provision in fiscal 2012 and 2011 as we had cumulative net operating losses in all tax jurisdictions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At October 31, 2012, we had working capital deficit of $528,666. This represents a working capital increase of $1,846,895 compared to that reported at October 31, 2011. The increase primarily reflects the conversions to common stock conducted in the current fiscal year for notes payable and accounts payable to trade vendors as well as officers and directors of the Company.
We sold no products in fiscal 2012. Our primary source of cash during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 has been from the sale of equity and various loans totaling $1,273,814 and $155,000, respectively. During fiscal 2012, we borrowed $30,000 from Gregg Newhuis, who became a Director of the Company in May 2012, $20,000 from the Company’s Corporate Secretary, and an additional $30,000 from an unaffiliated stockholder. During fiscal 2012, we sold 30,830,204 shares of common stock to Dutchess Capital for net proceeds of $99,739. In addition, we issued convertible debentures to Asher Enterprises, Inc. and others for proceeds totaling $70,000, net of $5,000 in legal fees. Because the Company had limited ability to obtain working capital, the terms under which we sold shares to Dutchess Capital and/or borrowed funds from Asher Enterprises and others were more costly than if the Company were in a stronger financial position.
Management estimates that it required working capital approximating $82,000 per month to maintain operations during fiscal 2012, compared to the approximate $37,800 per month expended during fiscal 2011.
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, 2012 which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
15 |
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.
Equity Financing Arrangements
Equity Financing Arrangements
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 (as amended on April 12, 2012) is 500,000,000. The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Dutchess on May 4, 2010 whereby the Company was 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. The Company filed three (3) registration statements on Form S-1 between May 7, 2010 and April 19, 2012 to register the resale by Dutchess of 191 million shares of common stock.
On May 31, 2012, the Company terminated the Investment Agreement with Dutchess and withdrew the third Form S-1 registration statement covering 140 million of the shares.
Through September 2010 and October 2011, the Company issued seventeen (17) puts under the investment agreement with Dutchess and sold 20,136,570 shares of common stock to Dutchess at prices ranging from $0.004 to $0.0225 per share for net proceeds of $114,497. During fiscal 2012, the Company issued seven (7) puts with Dutchess and sold an additional 30,830,204 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.003 to $0.0056 per share for net proceeds of $99,739.
During fiscal 2012, the Company issued $75,000 in convertible debentures to Asher Enterprises, Inc. which were convertible into shares of common stock, at the discretion of the holder, commencing 180 days following the date of the Note. The loans carried anti-dilution provisions and bore interest at 8% per annum. They were convertible at discounts ranging from 49% to 55% of the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to conversion. Asher converted all outstanding convertible debentures as of September 14, 2012.
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). All of our distribution agreements remain in effect at this time.
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 March 2013. 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.
16 |
No assurances can be given that currently available funds will satisfy our working capital needs for the period estimated, or that we can obtain additional working capital through the sale of common stock or other securities, the issuance of indebtedness or otherwise or on terms acceptable to us. Further, no assurances can be given that any such equity financing will not result in a further substantial dilution to the existing stockholders or will be on terms satisfactory to us.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosure about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires an entity to include additional disclosures about financial instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position, as well as financial instruments subject to a master netting agreement or similar arrangement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, which defers specific requirements to present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 has not had a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial position.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02 (“ASU 2012-02”), “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” ASU 2012-02 gives entities an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If based on its qualitative assessment an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Corporation does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its financial statements.
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.
Item 7. | Financial Statements and Supplementary Data |
The information required by Item 7 is included on pages F-1 to F-24.
Item 8. | Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure |
None.
Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures. |
As of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). That evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our certifying officer, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

18 |
In 1997, Mr. Nunez was recruited to join Fordham Financial Management Inc. and accepted the position of Senior Vice President of Investment to lead their Wall Street Broker – Dealer operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”)(A Development Stage Company) as of October 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 and the cumulative period from November 1, 2005 (date of inception) to October 31, 2012. Micro Imaging Technology, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included 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, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary (A Development Stage Company) as of October 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 and the cumulative period from November 1, 2005 (date of inception) to October 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency of $477,731 that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | Description of Business and Development Stage Company |
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. (the “Company”), a California corporation, is a holding company whose operations are conducted through its 81%-owned subsidiary.
The losses incurred to date which are applicable to the 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, 2012. In accordance with the guidance provided under FASB Codification No. 810, (Consolidation-Noncontrolling Interests) the Company’s annual and interim reports 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.
2. | Basis of Presentation |
The Company incurred net losses from continuing operations of $1,249,491 and $1,495,607 for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At October 31, 2012 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $45,411,481 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Micro Imaging Technology (“MIT”). As of October 31, 2005, the operations of the Company’s subsidiaries, Electropure EDI, Inc. and Electropure Holdings, LLC, were discontinued and the Company became a development stage company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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.
Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Effective October 31, 2012, the Company reclassified and capitalized as machinery and equipment eight of its MIT 1000 Systems that it had carried as finished goods valued at $75,788. A redesigned model of the systems is currently underway and the Company will utilize these eight first generation models as laboratory testing equipment. These systems are being depreciated, commencing November 1, 2011, over an expected useful life of 3 years. This change in classification does not materially affect previously reported cash flows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and had no effect on the previously reported Consolidated Statement of Operations for any period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting within the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
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, 2012 and 2011.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The Company’s management monitors inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary valuation corrections when such adjustments are required.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over an expected useful life of 3 or 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.

Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The production tooling for the Company’s revised MIT 1000 has been capitalized and the $14,000 cost is being amortized over an estimated useful life of 3 years.
Advertising Costs
The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred. The Company incurred $25,357 in advertising expense during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012.
Accrued Payroll, Payroll Taxes and Benefits
From April 2010 through March 2012, payments made to two employees were recorded as reductions in accrued and unpaid payroll. In April 2012, the Company reclassified such payments as net payroll payments; calculated and recorded the employer and employee taxes that should have been withheld on such payment. Federal and state payroll tax returns have been filed for the last three quarters of 2010, all of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. Estimated penalties and interest on the late filings and payments, in the sum of $27,029, have been accrued as of October 31, 2012. On September 20, 2012, the Internal Revenue Service filed a Notice of Federal Tax Lien against the Company assessing $58,857.60 for unpaid taxes, penalties and interest. A Notice of Tax Lien was also filed by the State of California on November 9, 2012 in the amount of $8,206,75, including penalty and interest, The Company has been in contact with the respective tax authorities in an effort to negotiate a payment arrangement for the taxes due.
Accrued Payroll and Benefits consist of the above payroll taxes and salaries, wages, and vacation benefits earned by employees, but not disbursed as of October 31, 2012. Accrued Payroll also includes the above estimated penalties and interest due on such unpaid payroll taxes. Liability for vacation benefits is accrued when earned monthly and reduced when taken. At the end of each fiscal period, the balance in the accrued vacation benefits liability account is adjusted to reflect current pay rates. Annual leave earned but not taken is considered an unfunded liability since this leave will be funded from future appropriations when it is actually taken by employees.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Accounts Payable – Trade
As of October 31, 2012, the amount due to a former consultant to the Company, $112,000, represented 61% of the total amount due for accounts payable to non-affiliates. On May 17, 2012, the Company entered into settlement agreements with two consultants to the Company to satisfy a total of $62,855 and $298,748 in accrued fees for services in exchange for payments of $30,000 and $75,000, respectively. The Company made full payment of the settlement amounts on May 30, 2012 and recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt on these settlements in the sum of $34,068 and $223,748, respectively.
Litigation and Claims
On May 16, 2012, Alpine MIT Partners, LLC (Plaintiffs) filed a civil action against the Company and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey G. Nunez, (collectively, the Company), in the Texas District Court, Travis County. Plaintiffs alleged breach of contract and civil conspiracy, as well as tortious interference with contractual relations and prospective business relations. The lawsuit alleges that the Company breached certain provisions of a March 7, 2012 Securities Purchase Agreement the Company executed with the Plaintiff to sell up to $2.0 million of 7% Senior Secured five-year Convertible Debentures convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $.003 per share. The purchase and sale of the first $1.0 million Debenture was scheduled to close on or before April 6, 2012 and was subject to, among other things, Alpine closing the necessary equity funding to consummate the transactions. No money was ever received by the Company from Alpine.
The lawsuit also suggests that the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey G. Nunez, has a history of regulatory and securities law violations. The Company’s Board of Directors has researched the matter and understands that in January 2004, Mr. Nunez was requested by the NASD to appear and provide testimony pursuant to NASD Rule 8210. Mr. Nunez did not appear, but agreed not to associate in any capacity, in the future, with NASD member firms. The Company’s Board of Directors believes this to be of no consequence with respect to Mr. Nunez’ qualifications to serve as a board member and chief executive officer of the Company.

Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
On January 10, 2013, the Company learned that Plaintiffs had filed a lien against the Company’s patents on May 8, 2012 with the California Secretary of State under the Uniform Commercial Code. The Company is considering taking action to vacate the lien as well as other legal remedies against the Plaintiffs that may be available to the Company in California.
A hearing on the Company’s motion to change the venue of this matter from Texas to California is scheduled for February 2013.
In accordance with accounting standards regarding loss contingencies, the Company accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and the Company discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for its financial statements not to be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote.
Because litigation outcomes are inherently unpredictable, the Company’s evaluation of legal proceedings often involves a series of complex assessments by management about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. If the assessments indicate that loss contingencies that could be material to any one of its financial statements are not probable, but are reasonably possible, or are probable, but cannot be estimated, then the Company discloses the nature of the loss contingencies, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss or a statement that such loss is not reasonably estimable. While the consequences of certain unresolved proceedings are not presently determinable, and an estimate of the probable and reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued for such proceedings cannot be reasonably made, an adverse outcome from such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on its financial statements in any given reporting period. However, in the opinion of Management, after consulting with legal counsel, the ultimate liability related to the current outstanding lawsuit is not expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial statements.
Management is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of such matter now pending will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. However, the outcome of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty.
Antidilution Liability
The Company has recorded a $65,401 liability to allow for the possible dilutive impact of equity issuances that alter or effect conversion or exchange rates existing on the various dates of conversion or exercise of securities having adjustable conversion rates.
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.
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).
F-15 |
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company recognized no share-based compensation expense during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012. Share-based compensation of $29 was recognized on options and warrants that vested during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011.
Activity under the Company’s stock option plans is included in Note 9.
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 76,133,333 and 8,000,000 as of October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, have been omitted from the earnings (loss) per share calculation, as their effect would be antidilutive.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosure about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires an entity to include additional disclosures about financial instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position, as well as financial instruments subject to a master netting agreement or similar arrangement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, which defers specific requirements to present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 has not had a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial position.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02 (“ASU 2012-02”), “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” ASU 2012-02 gives entities an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If based on its qualitative assessment an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Corporation does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its financial statements.
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.

Depreciation expense for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 was $35,925 and $14,492, respectively.
5. | Convertible Debentures |
Series 1 Notes
Under the provisions of ASC 815-40-15, “Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity-Scope and Scope Exceptions,” a number of our outstanding Convertible notes are not considered indexed to our stock, as a result of an anti-dilution protection provision in these notes. The application of ASC 815-40-15, effective August 1, 2011, resulted in our accounting for these notes as derivative instruments, and they are recognized as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Between August 16, 2010 and February 21, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with As her Enterprises, Inc. in connection with the issuance of eleven (11) separate 8% convertible notes in various principal amounts, aggregating $387,500. The Company paid a total of $27,500 out of the proceeds of the notes to As her for legal fees and expenses related to the referenced agreements. The notes generally matured in nine (9) months, commencing May 2011 through November 2012, and were convertible into shares of common stock at a discount ranging from 39% to 55% of the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date. The Series I Notes contained a provision requiring an adjustment to the conversion price of the note in the event the Company issues or sells any shares of common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, at a price per share lower than such conversion price. Accordingly, effective August 1, 2011, the Series I Notes were accounted for as a derivative liability, measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized as gain or loss for each reporting period thereafter. The notes were recorded at fair value, using the Binomial valuation model, and a derivative liability of $175,865 was recorded for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011. This liability was revalued each reporting period and gains and losses were recognized in the statement of operations under “Other Income (Expense)”.
In February, 2012, As her notified the Company that it had defaulted on the terms of four of its outstanding notes for failure to issue conversion shares in a timely manner. The terms of the notes provided that As her receive a 50% increase in the principal balance of any outstanding notes at the time of any such default. Consequently, the principal amount of notes outstanding at that time increased by $45,000.
As of September 14, 2012, As her had converted all of the $387,500 in principal notes, plus $45,000 and $16,200 in principal penalties and accrued interest, respectively, on these notes and has received a total of 331,609,583 shares of common stock upon the conversions at prices ranging from $0.0004 to $0.0039 per share. During fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, the Company expensed a total of $8,000 in accrued interest and there remains no derivative liability and no principal or interest due on these notes. Further, all shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the notes have been returned to the Company’s treasury.

Fair value of financial instruments
The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash and other current assets and liabilities to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.
The Company has also adopted ASC 820-10 (“Fair Value Measurements”) which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
● | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
● | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. | |
● | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and long term debt approximate fair value because of their generally short maturities.
The Company measured the fair value of the Series 1 derivative liability as Level 3 derivatives by using the Binomial Valuation model which traces key variables of exercise price, discount rate and the price per share and volatility of the underlying common stock.
The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial instrument liability for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012:

Other Convertible Notes
On November 10, 2010, the Company borrowed $64,868 from a stockholder on terms similar to the Asher notes. The Note matured on May 31, 2012 and bears interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The Note is convertible into shares of common stock at a forty two percent (42%) discount to the average of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten (10) trading days prior to the conversion date. The note holder may convert any or all of the unpaid principal note prior to the maturity date. The Company calculated the intrinsic value of the conversion feature to be $46,973 as of the date of issuance of the debentures using the same criteria as noted above, which amount has been fully amortized as of October 31, 2012. The Company has expensed $12,814 in accrued interest on the note as of October 31, 2012. If the note had been converted as of October, 2012, the Company would have issued a total of 41,422,733 shares of common stock the value of which would exceed, by $63,542, the principal balance due on the note. The Company is currently negotiating with the lender to settle or renegotiate the Note.

On March 16, 2009, a major stockholder, Mr. Anthony Frank, purchased a $75,000 convertible debenture for which the Company has expensed interest at ten percent (10%) per annum totaling $23,445 in accrued interest as of July 31, 2012. The debenture matured on March 16, 2012. The debenture was convertible at the option of the holder into the Company’s common stock at a fair market value of 75% of the lowest closing bid price per share for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding conversion. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, $18,750, was amortized over the three-year life of the debenture. Effective May 1, 2012, Mr. Frank converted this loan, together with $23,466 in accrued interest, into 28,133,072 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.0035 per share.
On November 27, 2009, the Company borrowed $25,000 from an unaffiliated lender. In September 2011, the lender converted $12,500 of the principal and $2,876 in accrued interest into 8,542,222 shares of common stock. The Company issued an Amended and Restated Convertible Note for the $12,500 principal balance of the loan. The amended note matures on December 31, 2012 and bears interest at 6% and is convertible into common shares at a 55% discount to the average of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten (10) trading days prior to the conversion date. The Company calculated the intrinsic value of the conversion feature on the remaining balance to be $10,507 as of the date of issuance of the amended note and will amortize the cost over the life of the loan. As of July 31, 2012, the Company had expensed a total of $643 in accrued interest on the remaining principal balance of $12,500. If the $12,500 balance of the note had been converted as of October 31, 2012, the Company would have issued a total of 8,960,573 shares of common stock and would have fully amortized the $3,202 remaining expense of the conversion feature.
On August 1, 2011, an unaffiliated party purchased a $50,000 convertible debenture that would have matured on August 1, 2012. The debenture was convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the Company’s common stock at a 25% discount (but not more than $0.002 per share) to the average closing bid prices of the common stock for the three (3) trading days immediately preceding conversion. The holder converted the debenture on February 1, 2012 at the conversion rate of $0.002 per share and received 25 million shares of common stock. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, $16,667, was fully amortized as of the conversion date and $1,504 in interest accrued prior to the conversion was forgiven.
On January 12, 2012, the Company issued an Amended and Restated 6% Convertible Note for $37,500 to Gregg Newhuis, who became a director of the Company in May 2012, for proceeds received in fiscal 2010. The note, would have matured on December 31, 2012, was subsequently sold to Asher Enterprises which converted the entire principal balance of the note during January and February 2012. The Company issued 28,439,685 shares of common stock on the conversions at prices ranging from $0.0011 to $0.0016 per share. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, $37,500, was amortized in full as of the conversion date.

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.
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, 2012, 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, 2012.
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.

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.

Basis of Presentation |
The Company incurred net losses from continuing operations of $1,249,491 and $1,495,607 for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At October 31, 2012 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $45,411,481 and is in default under the redemption provisions of its redeemable preferred stock (Note 8). These raise substantial doubts about the Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys securities, borrowing, or through the sale of assets or products that will generate sufficient revenues in the future to sustain ongoing operations. The Companys 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. |
