MICRO IMAGING TECHNOLOGY, INC.

 

140,000,000 Shares

Common Stock

 

This prospectus relates to the offer and resale of up to 140,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, by the selling stockholder, Dutchess Opportunity Fund II, LP, or “Dutchess”. Dutchess has agreed to purchase up to 500,000,000 shares pursuant to the investment agreement dated May 4, 2010 between Dutchess and us. Subject to the terms and conditions of such investment agreement, which is referred to in this prospectus as the “Investment Agreement,” we have the right to put up to $5,000,000 million in shares of our common stock to Dutchess. This arrangement is sometimes referred to as an “Equity Line.” For more information on the selling stockholder, please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Selling Stockholder”.

 

As of April 13, 2012, the Company had 826,264,567 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The 140,000,000 shares represent 16.9% of the number of currently outstanding shares. Upon issuance of these shares, the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock will be 966,264,567 and the registered shares will then represent 14.5% of those shares. Additionally, as of the date of this Registration Statement, these 140,000,000 shares represent 20.9% of the current float.

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of these shares of common stock offered by Dutchess. We will, however, receive proceeds from the sale of shares to Dutchess pursuant to the Equity Line. When we put an amount of shares to Dutchess, the per share purchase price that Dutchess will pay to us in respect of such put will be determined in accordance with a formula set forth in the Investment Agreement. Generally, in respect of each put, Dutchess will pay us a per share purchase price equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five (5) consecutive trading day period beginning on the trading day immediately following the date of delivery of the applicable put notice.

 

Dutchess may sell the shares of common stock from time to time at the prevailing market price on the Over-the Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board, or on an exchange if our shares of common stock become listed for trading on such an exchange, or in negotiated transactions. Dutchess is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in connection with the resale of our common stock under the Equity Line. For more information, please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution”.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “MMTC”. The last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTCBB on May 9, 2012 was $0.0031 per share.

 

Investing in the offered securities involves a high degree of risk, including those risks set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus, as well as those set forth in any prospectus supplement.

 

We will be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of this registration statement, provided, however, we will not be required to pay any underwriters’ discounts or commissions relating to the securities covered by the registration statement.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights the information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because this is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before buying shares of our common stock. You should read the entire prospectus and any prospectus supplements carefully, especially the sections entitled “Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” together with our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplements related thereto, before deciding to purchase shares of our common stock.

 

Micro Imaging Technology, Inc.

 

Depending upon the context, the terms “MIT,” “Micro Identification Technologies, Inc,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us,” refers to either Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. alone or Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively. On February 19, 2010 Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. (OTC: Bulletin Board: MMTC) announced that it had changed the Company’s business trading name to doing business as (DBA) Micro Identification Technologies, Inc, to better reflect the extensive capabilities of its microbial identification technologies.

 

Organizational History

 

We were incorporated in December 1979 in California under the name HOH Water Technology Corporation and changed our name to Electropure, Inc. in 1996. In November 2005, we again changed our name to Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. as a condition of the sale of our EDI assets (see discussion of Electropure EDI, Inc. below). Our address and telephone number is: 970 Calle Amanecer, Suite F, San Clemente, California 92673 – (949) 388-4546.

 

In October 1997, we acquired an exclusive license to patent and intellectual property rights involving laser light scattering techniques to be utilized in the detection and monitoring of toxicants in drinking water. In February 2000, we formed Micro Imaging Technology (MIT), a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary to conduct research and development based upon advancements we developed and patented from the licensed technology.

 

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

 

In February 2010, the Company changed the Company’s business trading name to doing business as (DBA) Micro Identification Technologies, Inc, to better reflect the extensive capabilities of its microbial identification technologies.

Investment Agreement

 

We entered into the Investment Agreement with Dutchess on May 4, 2010. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Dutchess committed to purchase up to $5,000,000 of our common stock, over the course of 36 months. The obligations of Dutchess as imposed by the terms of this agreement are non-transferrable. The aggregate number of shares issuable by us and purchasable by Dutchess under the Investment Agreement is 500,000,000. To date, we have sold 50,967,000 of the available shares, as that was the number allowed under Rule 415 and attendant shelf-registration limitations.

 

We may draw on the facility from time to time, as and when we determine appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement. The maximum amount that we are entitled to put in any one notice is the greater of (i) 200% of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of the common stock for the three (3) trading days prior to the date of delivery of the applicable put notice, multiplied by the average of the closing prices for such trading days or (ii) $100,000. The purchase price shall be set at nine-five percent (95%) of the lowest daily VWAP of our common stock during the Pricing Period. However, if, on any trading day during a Pricing Period, the daily VWAP of the common stock is lower than the floor price specified by us in the put notice, then we reserve the right, but not the obligation, to withdraw that portion of the put amount for each such trading day during the Pricing Period, with only the balance of such put amount above the minimum acceptable price being put to Dutchess. There are put restrictions applied on days between the put notice date and the closing date with respect to that particular put. During such time, we are not entitled to deliver another put notice.

 

There are circumstances under which we will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess, including the following:

 

● we will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess unless there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of the shares by Dutchess;

 

● we will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess unless our common stock continues to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or becomes listed on a national securities exchange;

 

● we will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess to the extent that such shares would cause Dutchess’s beneficial ownership to exceed 4.99% of our outstanding shares; and

 

● we will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess prior to the closing date of the preceding put.

 

The Investment Agreement further provides that the Company and Dutchess are each entitled to customary indemnification from the other for any losses or liabilities we or it suffers as a result of any breach by the other of any provisions of the Investment Agreement or our registration rights agreement with Dutchess, or as a result of any lawsuit brought by a third-party arising out of or resulting from the other party’s execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Investment Agreement or the registration rights agreement.

 

The Investment Agreement also contains representations and warranties of each of the parties. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Investment Agreement and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Investment Agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what a stockholder or investor might view as material, or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts.

In connection with the preparation of the Investment Agreement and the registration rights agreement, we issued Dutchess 750,000 shares of common stock as a document preparation fee in the amount of $15,000. However, in the event that we received any funds from a current private placement or from Dutchess’ purchase of shares prior to the nine month anniversary of the issuance of the 750,000 shares, those shares could have been redeemed, at the discretion of Dutchess, for $15,000 in cash. The Company has redeemed those shares by making payment of $15,000 in cash to Dutchess.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

Pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 4, 2010, between Dutchess and us, we are obligated to file one or more registration statements with the SEC to register the resale by Dutchess of shares of common stock issued or issuable under the Investment Agreement. In order to access the credit line, on May 7, 2010 we filed, with the SEC, an initial registration statement on Form S-1 covering the first 11,000,000 shares of common stock, and a second registration statement on July 1, 2011covering an additional 40,000,000 shares of common stock. The aggregate number of shares registered prior to this registration statement is 51,000,000 shares which is equal to seven point six percent (7.5%) of our current public float (where “public float” shall be derived by subtracting the number of shares of common stock held by our officers, directors and “affiliates” (as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1) of the 1933 Act) from the total number of shares of our common stock then outstanding). We have agreed that, in the event that prior registrations fail to register all of the shares necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations, we will amend this statement and file new registration statements. This document is the second additional registration statement which is being filed in order to allow the Company to continue to access the credit line. This registration process will continue until such time as all of the dollar amounts available under the credit line, using shares of common stock issuable under the Investment Agreement, have been registered for resale on effective registration statements. In no event will we be obligated to register for resale more than $5,000,000 in value of shares of common stock, or 500,000,000 shares.

RISK FACTORS

 

Your investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider the risks described below and the other information contained in this prospectus carefully before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose a part or all of your investment.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

 

Failure to raise additional capital could seriously reduce our ability to compete or harm our ability to continue operations.

 

From time to time we have experienced and continue to experience working capital shortfalls that slowed the development of our research on the MIT technology. We will be required to raise substantial amounts of new financing, through equity investments, loans or strategic alliances, to carry out our business objectives. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us and at the time we require, or at all. Further, any such financing may cause substantial dilution of the interests of current shareholders. If we are unable to obtain such additional financing, the financial condition and results of operations of the Company will be materially adversely affected. Moreover, our estimates of cash requirements to carry out our current business objectives are based upon certain assumptions, including assumptions as to revenues, net income or loss and other factors, and there can be no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be accurate or that unforeseen costs will not be incurred. Future events, including the problems, delays, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by similarly situated companies, as well as changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions, may lead to cost increases that could have a material adverse effect on us and our plans. If we are not successful in obtaining loans or equity financing, it is unlikely that we will have sufficient cash to continue to conduct operations. We believe that to raise needed capital, we may be required to issue debt or equity securities that are significantly lower than the current market price of our common stock. However, no assurances can be given that we can obtain additional working capital through the sale of common stock or other securities, the issuance of indebtedness or otherwise or on terms acceptable to us. Further, no assurances can be given that any such equity financing will not result in a further substantial dilution to the existing shareholders or will be on terms satisfactory to us.

 

We have a history of losses which are likely to continue.

 

From our inception in 1979 through October 31, 2011, we have accumulated a loss of $44,161,990 and a net stockholders’ deficit of $2,323,423. 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, 2011 contains an explanatory paragraph as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, our negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Although we sold our first two MIT Systems during 2007 and a single additional System in October 2009, MIT is considered to be a development stage company. As such, it has no significant or recurring operating income and its prospects must be considered speculative considering the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in the development of a new technology. While laboratory results and other tests have been encouraging, substantial additional development efforts will be required. The development of the MIT System involves significant risks, which a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. There can be no assurance that unanticipated problems will not occur which would result in material delays in our product development, or that our efforts will result in successful product commercialization on a sustainable level. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitable operations.

 

We have limited patent protection.

 

We own two U.S. patents on our MIT technology and one foreign patent for this technology. We may not be able to afford the expenses required to enforce any patent we may now or in the future own and no assurances can be given that any patents would be upheld if challenged, or if upheld, would provide us with meaningful protection. We also rely on trade secrets and know-how as regards the MIT technology that is not patentable. Although we have taken steps to protect our unpatented trade secrets and know-how, in part through the use of confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and certain of our contractors, there can be no assurance that:

 

9
 

 

these agreements will not be breached,
we would have adequate remedies for any breach, or
our proprietary trade secrets and know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently developed or discovered by competitors.

 

Our competitors are larger and better financed

 

The microbe identification industry continues to undergo rapid change with intense competition that is expected to increase. There can be no assurance that our competitors have not or will not succeed in developing technologies and products that are more accurate than the MIT System microbe identification and monitoring method and would, accordingly, render the MIT System obsolete and noncompetitive. Many of our competitors have substantially greater experience, financial and technical resources and production, marketing and development capabilities. Accordingly, certain of those competitors may succeed in obtaining regulatory approval for products more rapidly or effectively than us. We will also be competing with respect to sales and marketing capabilities, areas in which we currently have little experience.

 

Continued technological changes and government regulations could adversely affect our sales

 

The technology upon which the MIT System relies may undergo rapid development and change. There can be no assurance that the technology utilized by us will be competitive in light of possible future technological developments. Further, we cannot assure that our technology will not become obsolete or that we will have adequate funds to meet technological changes.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing the MIT System to respond to technological changes or evolving industry standards, that we will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of the MIT System, or that any new products will adequately satisfy the requirements of prospective customers and achieve market acceptance. If we are unable to develop and introduce new or improved products in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.

 

Dependent upon the field of application, the MIT System, when commercialized, may be subject to extensive regulation by numerous governmental authorities and regulatory agencies worldwide prior to introduction of the product. The process of obtaining required regulatory approvals may be lengthy and expensive depending on the jurisdiction. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary approvals to conduct clinical trials for the manufacturing and marketing of products, that all necessary clearances will be granted to us for future products on a timely basis, or at all, or that review or other actions by the regulatory agencies will not involve delays adversely affecting the marketing and sale of our products. In addition, the testing and approval process with respect to certain products which we may develop or seek to introduce may take a substantial number of years and involve the expenditure of substantial resources. There can be no assurance that the MIT System will be cleared for marketing by the regulatory agencies of the countries in which we seek to market the MIT System. Failure to obtain any necessary approvals or failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, future government regulation could prevent or delay regulatory approval of our products.

 

If we fail to attract and retain key personnel, our ability to compete will be harmed

 

Our future success is highly dependent on our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, including technical personnel, executive officers and other key management. The loss or unavailability of services of one or more of our key employees, including Michael Brennan, our chief executive officer, or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate effectively.

 

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK

 

Because there is a limited market in our common stock, stockholders may have difficult in selling our common stock and our common stock may be subject to significant price swings.

 

There can be no assurance that an active market for our Common Stock will develop. If an active public market for our Common Stock does not develop, shareholders may not be able to re-sell the shares of our Common Stock that they own and affect the value of the Shares.

 

10
 

 

If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

 

Companies trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, such as we, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. In addition, we may be unable to get re-listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, which may have an adverse material effect on our Company.

 

Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

 

·that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and
  
·the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

 

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

 

·obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
  
·make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

 

·sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
  
·that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

 

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

 

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

The exercise of outstanding options and warrants may have a dilutive effect on the price of our common stock.

 

To the extent that outstanding stock options and warrants are exercised, dilution to our stockholders will occur. Moreover, the terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected, since the holders of the outstanding options and warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than the exercise terms provided by the outstanding options and warrants.

 

11
 

 

We do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

 

We do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our Common Stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base and development and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our Common Stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of the our Board of Directors. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.

 

Risks Related to this Offering

 

We are registering the resale of a maximum of 140,000,000 shares of common stock, aLL of which may be issued to Dutchess under the Equity Line. The resale of such shares by Dutchess could depress the market price of our common stock.

 

We are registering the resale of a maximum of 140,000,000 shares of common stock under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The sale of these shares into the public market by Dutchess could depress the market price of our common stock. As of April 13, 2012, there were 826,264,567 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. In total, we may issue up to 500,000,000 shares to Dutchess pursuant to the Equity Line, meaning that, we are obligated to file one or more registration statements covering the remaining 309,000,000 shares not covered by the registration statement (or the Company’s registration statements covering 51,000,000 shares not covered by either registration statement). The sale of those additional shares into the public market by Dutchess could further depress the market price of our common stock.

 

Existing stockholders could experience substantial dilution upon the issuance of common stock pursuant to the Equity Line.

 

Our Equity Line with Dutchess contemplates our issuance of up to 500,000,000 shares of our common stock to Dutchess, subject to certain restrictions and obligations. If the terms and conditions of the Equity Line are satisfied, and we choose to exercise our put rights to the fullest extent permitted and sell all 500,000,000 shares of our common stock to Dutchess, our existing stockholders’ ownership will be diluted by such sales.

 

Dutchess will pay less than the then-prevailing market price for our common stock under the Equity Line.

 

The common stock to be issued to Dutchess pursuant to the Investment Agreement will be purchased at a 5% discount to the volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five consecutive trading day period beginning on the trading day immediately following the date of delivery of a put notice by us to Dutchess, subject to certain exceptions. Therefore, Dutchess has a financial incentive to sell our common stock upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If Dutchess sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease.

 

We may not be able to access sufficient funds under the Equity Line when needed.

 

Our ability to put shares to Dutchess and obtain funds under the Equity Line is limited by the terms and conditions in the Investment Agreement, including restrictions on when we may exercise our put rights, restrictions on the amount we may put to Dutchess at any one time, which is determined in part by the trading volume of our common stock, and a limitation on our ability to put shares to Dutchess to the extent that it would cause Dutchess to beneficial own more than 4.99% of our outstanding shares. In addition, we do not expect the Equity Line to satisfy all of our funding needs, even if we are able and choose to take full advantage of the Equity Line.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of our common stock offered by Dutchess. However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock to Dutchess pursuant to the Investment Agreement. The proceeds from our exercise of the put option pursuant to the Investment Agreement will be used to support the commercialization of our current and future product candidates, for general working capital needs, for the reduction of indebtedness and for other purposes that our board of directors, in its good faith, deems to be in our best interest.

 

All net proceeds from the sale of the common stock covered by this prospectus will go to the selling stockholder. See “Selling Stockholder” and “Plan of Distribution” described below.

 

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

 

The information provided in the table and discussions below has been obtained from the selling stockholder. The table below identifies the selling stockholder and shows the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by it before and after this offering, and the numbers of shares offered for resale by the selling stockholder. Our registration of these shares does not necessarily mean that the selling stockholder will sell all or any of their shares of common stock. However, the “Shares Beneficially Owned After Offering” columns in the table assume that all shares covered by this prospectus will be sold by the selling stockholder and that no additional shares of common stock will be bought or sold by the selling stockholder. No estimate can be given as to the number of shares that will be held by the selling stockholder after completion of this offering because the selling stockholder may offer some or all of the shares and, to our knowledge, there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understanding with respect to the sale of any of the shares. In addition, the selling stockholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which it provided the information regarding the shares, all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

 

The following table sets forth the name of the selling stockholder, an if applicable, the nature of any position, office, or other material relationship which the selling stockholder has had, within the past three years, with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates, the amount of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the stockholder prior to the offering, the amount being offered for the stockholder’s account, the amount being offered for the stockholder’s account and the amount to be owned by such stockholder after completion of the offering.

OUR BUSINESS

 

COMPANY OVERVIEW

 

We were incorporated in December 1979 in California under the name HOH Water Technology Corporation and changed our name to Electropure, Inc. in 1996. In November 2005, we again changed our name to Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. as a condition of the sale of our EDI assets (see discussion of Electropure EDI, Inc. below). Our address and telephone number is: 970 Calle Amanecer, Suite F, San Clemente, California 92673 – (949) 388-4546.

 

In October 1997, we acquired an exclusive license to patent and intellectual property rights involving laser light scattering techniques to be utilized in the detection and monitoring of toxicants in drinking water. In February 2000, we formed Micro Imaging Technology (MIT), a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary to conduct research and development based upon advancements we developed and patented from the licensed technology.

 

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

 

In February 2010, the Company changed the Company’s business trading name to Micro Identification Technologies, Inc, to better reflect the extensive capabilities of its microbial identification technologies.

 

DEVELOPMENT OF OUR BUSINESS

 

MICRO IMAGING TECHNOLOGY

 

The acquisition of the MIT patent and intellectual property rights in 1997 provides the basis for our development of near “real-time” fluid monitoring systems for water monitoring as well as food processing and clinical applications. The technology transferred under the October 25, 1997 agreement with Wyatt Technology Corporation had, at inception, two main areas for exploitation:

  

  Detection and early warning of dangerous particulate materials such as parasites and other organisms, i.e., bacteria, spores, etc. If the initial efforts were successful, future efforts were to be directed to include detection and early warning of asbestos fibers and similar materials that pose a health hazard to the consumer.

 

17
 

 

  Detection and early warning of dangerous soluble substances such as mutagens, carcinogens and metabolic poisons.

  

The feasibility of the technology had already been confirmed, although never commercialized in this area of application, during a study by Wyatt for the U. S. Army through a Small Business Innovative Research program conducted in the 1980’s. We believe that the technology for this application may well represent a major opportunity on a worldwide basis for future growth of consumer market products and the currently available instrumentation and methods being developed by us appear to provide a more immediate path to developing the technology for this concept.

 

Our initial proof-of-principal testing in 1998 demonstrated the ability, in a laboratory setting, to detect and monitor parasites, primarily Cryptosporidium and Giardia1 in drinking water sources and the pathogenic microbes E. coli, Listeria and Salmonella.

 

Potential customers for a water monitoring system would include local water utilities, both private and municipal; state water utilities and water quality and health agencies; federal government agencies such as EPA, DoD, DoE, CDC; wastewater treatment plants; ground water and well users; and potentially, as the cost of the sensors and system decreases, homeowners.

 

However, we believe development of an MIT System for clinical laboratory and food safety applications will be achieved more rapidly because it will not require the specialized instrumentation necessary for water monitoring. Consequently, we have focused our research efforts to address these areas, each of which we believe may achieve cost and efficiency benefits similar to the proposed water monitoring device. In addition to Cryptosporidium and Giardia protozoas, this technology has already demonstrated identification of the bacteria E.coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Additionally, the Company is in the process of adding to the System the ability to identify the following pathogens: Klebsiella, Proteus, Shigella and subspecies of each.

 

In February 2006, the Company contracted with North American Science Associates, Inc. (“NAMSA”), a highly regarded international testing and verification laboratory, to design and perform a verification test that compares the speed, accuracy and efficiency of MIT’s rapid microbe identification system with conventional processes. The comparative tests were a double blind experiment, meaning that the independent NAMSA laboratory technicians, using the MIT System and a well recognized alternative, were not aware of the tested microbes’ identification. NAMSA chose the industry standard Sherlock Microbial Gas Chromatographic Identification System (“MIDI”) as the initial process to verify the accuracy of MIT’s diagnostic capabilities.

 

The MIT system scored 98 percent correct identifications in fifty tests, with each test consuming only several minutes for sample preparation and an average three minutes for testing. The MIDI system was correct 80 percent and failed to identify, with several attempts, one very common and dangerous bacterium, E. coli 0157:H7. NAMSA then employed a conventional biological testing method which finally matched the unidentified bacterium with MIT’s identification. The MIDI system took hours per test and the biological testing method required days. We believe that the NAMSA tests verified the accuracy, speed and efficiency of the MIT System over conventionally accepted processes.

 

In June 2009, the Company received AOAC Research Institute (AOAC RI) Performance Test Methodtm (PTM) certification for the MIT 1000 System’s identification of Listeria species (PTM Certificate Number 060901). Listeria are known to be the bacteria responsible for listeriosis, a rare but lethal food-borne infection that has a devastating case fatality rate of 25% (Salmonella, in comparison, has a less than 1% mortality rate). They are incredibly hardy and able to grow in temperatures ranging from 4°C (39°F), the temperature of a refrigerator, to 37°C (99°F), the body’s internal temperature. Furthermore, listeriosis’ deadliness can be partially attributed to the infection’s ability to spread to the nervous system and cause meningitis. This Certification enables the Company to aggressively begin marketing its System into the targeted food safety markets. Following Listeria certification, the Company’s next goal is to achieve PTM certifications for the identification of E.coli and Salmonella as these three bacteria are responsible for most of the food bacterial contamination events worldwide. Additional microbes will be certified as required by the market.

The clinical and food safety applications for our MIT System for rapid identification of microbes will in some cases undergo stringent and lengthy regulatory approval processes in the United States, including clinical trials. To gain beta-site testing data, in June 2007 we sold and installed two MIT systems in an instrumentation distribution company and a food research laboratory in Japan through Yotsubishi Corporation, a subsidiary of Sibata Scientific Technology. We believe that the operating results from these installations has aided in further commercializing the MIT System for clinical and food safety applications. In October 2009, we sold an MIT system to a newly appointed Malaysian distributor which sells, markets and distributes research and scientific products for the countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). No assurances can be given, however, as to when or if additional Systems may be sold through this or any other distributor.

 

Although the water monitoring and food safety applications for the MIT System will not require regulatory review and approval, these application will require more extensive development efforts because of the vast array of contaminants commonly found in water and food and the need to configure a unique method and apparatus for isolating the water or food being tested. For these reasons, we expect that a practical device for water monitoring and food safety applications of our technology will not be commercialized until we have successfully introduced and gained acceptance of an MIT System in the clinical and food safety market segments.

 

Based on a very preliminary evaluation of market needs and the size and number of possible customers, we estimate that the market potential for the MIT System in all of the above domestic market areas could exceed $3 billion annually. More detailed market validation will be conducted as our development program continues.

 

With regard to the MIT System, there are established methods of testing currently employed by both public and private agencies. However, these methods are labor intensive, expensive and time consuming, and do not provide the near “real time” monitoring capabilities which our product offers. We believe that the MIT System is the only microbe identification system that is not biologically based – that is, does not rely on biological agents or reagents.

 

The Markets for Microbe Identification

 

The number of applications for our laser-based rapid microbe identification system is large, including food inspection, clinical applications and water testing. However, we have elected in the near term to focus on food inspection:

 

The Food and Drug Administration currently requires elaborate laboratory procedures taking up to 64 hours to identify E. coli, Salmonella or Listeria. According to industry analysts at Strategic Consultants, Inc (Scarborough, ME.) there were over 144 million microbiology tests performed in almost 6,000 plants annually. The analysts further report that food manufacturers and processors anticipate a continued increase in testing as regulatory agencies require more surveillance and monitoring programs. The MIT system identifies bacteria in less than 5 minutes, thus minimizing the testing and reporting time which minimizes health risks, product recall dangers and expenses to the producer.

 

On January 9, 2007, the Company entered into a non-exclusive agreement to supply MIT products to JMAR Technologies as a tandem product to its real-time water monitoring system or as a stand-alone instrument for laboratory use. JMAR is a San Diego, California based company that has a direct sales and support organization and manufactures laser-based products for multiple markets, including homeland security, the cruise ship and beverage industries, pharmaceutical companies, and municipal water utilities. To date, no sales of the MIT System have occurred under the agreement with JMAR and, although no assurances can be given that the arrangement will result in future products sales, we continue to consider the possibility of future business as promising.

 

In August 2007, we engaged the services of John Ricardi, JMAR’s former Vice President for Sales and Marketing. Mr. Ricardi provided sales, marketing and business development services to the Company as a consultant and through his efforts, the Company has appointed seven (7) exclusive distributors for MIT products in various territories, including, Taiwan and China, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, Bulgaria, the United Kingdom and Ireland, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, South Korea, Turkey, Malaysia and a number of ASEAN countries (including Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines, and Myanmar). The expansion of the distributor network continues.

 

Patents

 

In July 2002, we were granted U.S. Patent No. 6,639,672 on our MIT rapid microbe detection technology. We also received a U.S. Continuation-in-part patent on this technology on October 28, 2003 and a corresponding patent in Mexico on April 4, 2006.

 

19
 

 

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.

Research and Development

 

During fiscal 2011, we expended $598,476 primarily on our MIT System research program to develop a microbiological identification system derived from the technology acquired from Wyatt in October 1997. We concluded Phase 1 research on the Micro Imaging System in 1998 with a laboratory system that was used to prove the scientific principal and initiated phase two of our research program which resulted in the development of a more advanced system and the culmination of the library for the identification for various pathogens. We expect to continue to incur and accelerate additional research and development costs on this MIT System project through continued product development and library expansion efforts.

 

During fiscal 2010, we spent $687,687 on similar research and development activities.

 

Compliance with Environmental Laws

 

We do not produce hazardous waste as a result of our research activities. Consequently, our costs for compliance with federal, state and local environmental laws are negligible.

 

Employees

 

As of October 31, 2011, we employed 3 full-time employees or consultants and 2 part-time laboratory assistants, of whom two were engaged in administrative, marketing, accounting and clerical functions and three were engaged in research and development of the Company’s proposed MIT System. To implement our MIT business strategies, we anticipate that we will hire additional employees in fiscal 2012. However, we cannot predict with any certainty when we will hire any additional personnel. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good and we are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement. Our future success will be dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.

 

Properties

 

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

 

Management believes that our present facilities in San Clemente, California will be adequate for all of our current operations, and those contemplated for the foreseeable future. Our property is not covered by insurance at this time.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

See “Properties” above.

 

In late December 2011, the Company was served with an unlawful detainer action brought by the landlord for non-payment of $15,690 in back rent. The Company subsequently negotiated with the landlord to pay the balance due; remains at the facility and has extended the lease through March 31, 2013.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those risks discussed under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2011 and 2010

 

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 2011 and 2010. Our limited working capital has not yet allowed us to spend any significant resources on advertising and marketing efforts.

 

Research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 decreased by $89,211 compared to the prior year. These expenses arise from the program which we initiated in December 1997 to develop the micro imaging technology for detecting and identifying contaminants in fluids. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in consulting expenses during fiscal 2011 were also lower mainly due to a reduction in the fair market value of the Company’s stock issued as non-cash compensation. The reduction also reflects lower spending activities in general.

 

Sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1,276,183 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 compared to the prior year period. The reduction primarily reflects a decrease in prepaid expenses paid in stock and a decrease in consulting fees, a significant portion of which reflects the value of options and common stock issued as compensation during fiscal 2010.

 

Interest income is generated from short-term investments and showed no significant change in fiscal 2011.

 

Interest expense for the twelve months ended October 31, 2011 decreased by $97,901 compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease reflects the fact that the costs of issuing a number of convertible debentures sold in prior years were fully amortized during fiscal 2010.

 

The Company recognized $92,557 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) in the last quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

Components of other expense, other than interest, increased by $29,001 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 compared to the prior year. The increase is due to the Company 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 2011 and 2010 as we had cumulative net operating losses in all tax jurisdictions.

 

21
 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At October 31, 2011, we had working capital deficit of $2,375,561. This represents a working capital decrease of $810,303 compared to that reported at October 31, 2010. The decrease primarily reflects an increase in current liabilities due to lack of working capital to service the debt.

 

We sold no products in fiscal 2011. Our primary source of cash during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 has been from the sale of equity and convertible debentures and loans from an unaffiliated shareholder and our Chief Financial Officer, Victor Hollander. During fiscal 2011, we borrowed $30,000 from an unaffiliated shareholder and $4,000 from Mr. Hollander. During fiscal 2011, we sold 18,577,834 shares of common stock to Dutchess Capital for net proceeds of $102,226. In addition, we issued convertible debentures to Asher Enterprises, Inc. and others for proceeds totaling $322,368, net of $17,500 in legal fees. Because the Company has 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 $37,800 per month to maintain operations during fiscal 2011, compared to the approximate $43,500 per month expended during fiscal 2010.

 

Plan of Operation

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in its report on the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2011 which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We are in the process of identifying commercial, technical and scientific partners that can aid in advancing the MIT technology, provide external endorsements of the technology and accelerate introduction to the market. This strategy is dependent upon our ability to identify and attract the right customers and partners over the next six month period and to secure sufficient additional working capital in a timely manner. There can be no assurances that our efforts will be successful or that we will be able to raise sufficient capital to implement our plans or to continue operations.

 

Equity Financing Arrangements

 

On May 4, 2010, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (“Investment Agreement”) with Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Investor committed to purchase up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s common stock over thirty-nine months (the “Equity Line”). The aggregate number of shares issuable by the Company and purchasable by Dutchess under the Investment Agreement is 500,000,000.

 

The Company may draw on the facility from time to time, as and when it determines appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement. The maximum amount that the Company is entitled to put in any one notice is the greater of (i) 200% of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of the common stock for the three (3) trading days prior to the date of delivery of the applicable put notice, multiplied by the average of the closing prices for such trading days or (ii) $100,000. The purchase price shall be set at nine-five percent (95%) of the lowest daily VWAP of the Company’s common stock during the Pricing Period. However, if, on any trading day during a Pricing Period, the daily volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the common stock is lower than the floor price specified by us in the put notice, then the Company reserves the right, but not the obligation, to withdraw that portion of the put amount for each such trading day during the Pricing Period, with only the balance of such put amount above the minimum acceptable price being put to Dutchess. There are put restrictions applied on days between the put notice date and the closing date with respect to that particular put. During such time, the Company is not entitled to deliver another put notice.

 

There are circumstances under which the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess, including the following:

 

● the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess unless there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of the shares by Dutchess;

 

● the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess unless its common stock continues to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or becomes listed on a national securities exchange;

 

22
 

 

● the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess to the extent that such shares would cause Dutchess’ beneficial ownership to exceed 4.99% of our outstanding shares; and

 

● the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess prior to the closing date of the preceding put.

 

The Investment Agreement further provides that the Company and Dutchess are each entitled to customary indemnification from the other for any losses or liabilities we or it suffers as a result of any breach by the other of any provisions of the Investment Agreement or our registration rights agreement with Dutchess, or as a result of any lawsuit brought by a third-party arising out of or resulting from the other party’s execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Investment Agreement or the registration rights agreement.

 

The Investment Agreement also contains representations and warranties of each of the parties. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Investment Agreement and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Investment Agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what a stockholder or investor might view as material, or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts.

 

The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Dutchess on May 4, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to file one or more registration statements with the SEC to register the resale by Dutchess of shares of common stock issued or issuable under the Investment Agreement. On May 7, 2010, the Company filed an initial registration statement on Form S-1 in order to access the credit line, covering the resale of the 11,000,000 shares of common stock, and a second registration statement on July 1, 2011 covering an additional 40,000,000 shares of common stock. The aggregate number of shares registered prior to this registration statement is 51,000,000 shares which is equal to thirteen point three percent (13.3%) of the Company’s current public float (where “public float” shall be derived by subtracting the number of shares of common stock held by the Company’s officers, directors and “affiliates” (as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1) of the 1933 Act) from the total number of shares of our common stock then outstanding). These Registration Statements were declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 31, 2010 and July 20, 2011, respectively. This registration process will continue until such time as all of the dollar amounts available under the credit line, using shares of common stock issuable under the Investment Agreement, have been registered for resale on effective registration statements. In no event will the Company be obligated to register for resale more than $5,000,000 in value of shares of common stock, or 500,000,000 shares.

 

During September and October 2010, the Company issued six (6) puts under the investment agreement with Dutchess and sold 1,558,736 shares of common stock to Dutchess at prices ranging from $0.0175 to $0.0225 per share for net proceeds of $32,492. During fiscal 2011, the Company issued eleven (11) puts with Dutchess and sold an additional 18,577,834 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.004 to $0.01 per share for net proceeds of $102,226. An additional 14,191,477 shares have been sold to Dutchess subsequent to October 31, 2011 for net proceeds of $70,812.

 

In connection with the preparation of the Investment Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company issued Dutchess 750,000 shares of common stock as a document preparation fee in the amount of $15,000. However, in the event that the Company receives any funds from a current private placement or from Dutchess’ purchase of shares prior to the nine month anniversary of the issuance of the 750,000 shares, those shares could have been redeemed, at the discretion of Dutchess, for $15,000 in cash. As of October 31, 2010, the Company redeemed the shares by making payment of $15,000 in cash from the above private placements proceeds to Dutchess.

 

During fiscal 2011, we issued $225,000 in convertible debentures to Asher Enterprises, Inc. which are convertible into common shares, at the discretion of the holder, commencing 180 days following the date of the Note. The loans bear interest at 8% per annum and are convertible at a 39% to 49% discount to the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to conversion. The loans also carry anti-dilution provisions. Asher purchased an additional $32,500 convertible debenture in January 2012. Two other individuals purchase a total of $114,868 in debentures during fiscal 2011 without anti-dilution provisions, but otherwise on terms similar to Asher.

 

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.

 

23
 

 

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 2012. However, no assurances can be given that we will secure additional financing or revenues in a timely manner, if at all, or that such funds would be sufficient to achieve our intended business objectives.

 

We will be required to raise substantial amounts of new financing in the form of additional equity investments, loan financings, or from strategic partnerships, to carry out our business objectives. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us and at the time required by us, or at all. Further, any financing may cause dilution of the interests of our current stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional equity or loan financing, our financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected. Moreover, estimates of our cash requirements to carry out our current business objectives are based upon various assumptions, including assumptions as to our revenues, net income or loss and other factors, and there can be no assurance that these assumptions will prove to be accurate or that unbudgeted costs will not be incurred. Future events, including the problems, delays, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by similarly situated companies, as well as changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions, may lead to cost increases that could have a material adverse effect on us and our plans. If we are not successful in obtaining financing for future developments, whether in the form of loans, licenses or equity transactions, it is unlikely that we will have sufficient cash to continue to conduct operations, particularly research and development programs, as currently planned. We believe that in order to raise needed capital, we may be required to issue debt at significantly higher interest rates or equity securities that are significantly lower than the current market price of our common stock.

 

No assurances can be given that currently available funds will satisfy our working capital needs for the period estimated, or that we can obtain additional working capital through the sale of common stock or other securities, the issuance of indebtedness or otherwise or on terms acceptable to us. Further, no assurances can be given that any such equity financing will not result in a further substantial dilution to the existing stockholders or will be on terms satisfactory to us.

 

Fiscal Quarters Ended January 31, 2012 and 2011

 

References to fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 are for the three month period ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

The Company had no sales revenue during the three months ended January 31, 2012 or 2011.

 

Research and development expenses for the three month period ended January 31, 2012 increased by $34,980 and compared to the prior year. These expenses arose 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 reflects additional expenditures for materials and supplies and increases legal and accounting expenses. The increase was offset by a sizable decrease in consulting expenses for the current period.

 

Sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by $51,546 for the three months ended January 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period due, primarily, to a decrease in consulting fees incurred during the current period.

 

The Company realized negligible interest income during the three months ended January 31, 2012 as all available capital was utilized to sustain operations. Interest expense for the three month period ended January 31, 2012 increased by $19,407 compared to the prior period and primarily reflects the costs of borrowing during the current and prior fiscal periods.

 

The Company recognized $28,574 in non-cash gain related to certain convertible notes with beneficial conversion features (the Series 1 Notes).

 

We recorded the minimum state income tax provision in fiscal 2012 and 2011 as we had cumulative net operating losses in all tax jurisdictions.

 

24
 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At January 31, 2012, we had working capital deficit of $2,470,822. This represents a working capital decrease of $95,261 compared to that reported at October 31, 2011. The decrease primarily reflects additional borrowings during the current fiscal year as well as the accrual of payroll and accounts payable to officers, directors and employees of the Company.

 

Our only source of cash during the three months ended January 31, 2012 has been from the sale of common stock and convertible loans totaling $55,767 and $30,000, respectively. Management estimates that it utilized $28,500 per month in working capital on operations for the three months ended January 31, 2012, compared to the approximate $64,900 per month expended during the three month period ended January 31, 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, 2011 which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We are in the process of identifying commercial, technical and scientific partners that can aid in advancing the MIT expertise, provide external endorsements of the technology and accelerate introduction to the market.

There can be no assurances that our efforts will be successful or that we will be able to raise sufficient capital to implement our plans or to continue operations.

 

During the three months ended January 31, 2012, we sold $55,757 in common stock, net of fees and expenses, and received $30,000 in loans which are convertible into common stock at any time prior to their maturity date and bear interest at eight percent (8%) per the agreement. The Company continues to seek additional loans.

 

During the latter part of 2008, we appointed an exclusive distributor to sell our MIT products in Taiwan and China. We have entered into similar arrangements with five other companies granting distribution rights in Turkey, Bulgaria, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. In October 2009, we entered into a distribution agreement with a Biotek Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian distributor of research and scientific products for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (namely Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Micro Imaging Technology, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”)(A Development Stage Company) as of October 31, 2011, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flow for the year then ended and the cumulative period from November 1, 2010 to October 31, 2011. 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 2011 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, 2011 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended and the cumulative period from November 1, 2010 to October 31, 2011 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 $2,323,423 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.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Micro Imaging Technology, Inc.

 

I have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) (A Development Stage Company) as of October 31, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on my audit.

 

I conducted my audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has limited liquid resources, negative working capital, recurring losses with an accumulated deficit of $42,666,383 at October 31, 2010, and is seeking to implement its business plan, which requires the Company to complete the development and marketing of the new product and/or raise capital through the sale of the Company’s common stock or borrowings. These matters raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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, 2011. 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 $1,495,607 and $3,080,464 for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At October 31, 2011 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $44,161,990 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.

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.

 

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, 2011 and 2010.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over an expected useful life of 5 years. The leasehold improvements made to the Company’s leased facility are being depreciated over an expected useful life of 5 years. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are charged to operations. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets are removed from the accounts upon retirement or other disposition, and the resulting profit or loss is reflected in the Statement of Operations. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized.

 

Effective October 31, 2011, 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 will be depreciated, commencing November 1, 2011, over an expected useful life of 3 years.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred. The Company did not incur advertising expense during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2011 or 2010.

 

Accrued Payroll and Benefits

 

Accrued Payroll and Benefits consist of salaries, wages, and vacation benefits earned by employees, but not disbursed as of October 31, 2011. Accrued Payroll also includes employer tax due on such salaries and wages as well as interest on the employer tax accrued at the rate of 4.5%. 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.

 

F-9
 

 

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).

 

The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $29 and $67,890 on options and warrants that vested during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

The 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 8,000,000 and 11,400,000 as of October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, have been omitted from the earnings (loss) per share calculation, as their effect would be antidilutive.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The update provides additional guidance to creditors on evaluating whether a modification or restructuring of a receivable is a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) and clarifies the existing guidance on whether (1) the creditor has granted a concession and (2) whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties, which are the two criteria used to determine whether a modification or restructuring is a TDR. This guidance is effective for interim or annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. The update removes from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. This guidance is effective prospectively for transactions, or modifications of existing transactions, that occur on or after the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

F-10
 

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and IFRSs. The new guidance results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. While many of the amendments to US GAAP are not expected to have a significant effect on practice, the new guidance changes some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), which removes the option of presenting comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholder’s Equity. ASU 2011-05 provides entities with an option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income (OCI) either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Under either method, entities must display adjustments for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in both net income and OCI. This guidance does not change the items that must be reported in OCI or when an item of OCI must be reclassified to net income. This guidance, related only to disclosures, is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 is effective for the Company beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s 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.

 

4. Property, Plant and Equipment

 

At October 31, property, plant and equipment consisted of the following:

  

    2011     2010  
Machinery and equipment   $ 170,720     $ 94,932  
Furniture and fixtures   74,326       74,326  
Leasehold improvements   70,370       70,370  
    315,416       239,628  
Less: accumulated depreciation   (236,239 )     (221,747 )
Total property and equipment, net   $ 79,177     $ 17,881  

  

The Company reclassified $75,788 in finished goods to machinery and equipment during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 to reflect the fact that units of the Company’s intended product are now being utilized as testing equipment. Consequently, depreciation expense for the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 was $14,492 and $27,690, respectively.

 

5. Convertible Debentures

 

Series 1 Notes

 

Between August 16, 2010 and August 23, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc. in connection with the issuance of nine (9) separate 8% convertible notes in various principal amounts, aggregating $312,500. The Company paid a total of $23,000 out of the proceeds of the notes to Asher for legal fees and expenses related to the referenced agreements. The notes generally mature in nine (9) months, commencing May 2011 through May 2012, and are convertible into shares of common stock at a discount ranging from 39% to 49% 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 contain 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 are being 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. Asher may convert any or all of the unpaid principal note prior to the maturity date, commencing 180 days following the date of the Note. The notes are 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 will be revalued each reporting period and gains and losses will be recognized in the statement of operations under “Other Income (Expense)”.

 

F-11
 

 

As of October 31, 2011, Asher has converted a total of $155,000 and $6,200 in principal and accrued interest, respectively, on these notes and has received a total of 153,430,436 shares of common stock upon the conversions at prices ranging from $0.0004 to $0.004 per share. As of October 31, 2011, the Company had expensed a total of $9,221 in accrued interest and there remains an aggregate principal balance of $157,500 due on these notes. If such Series 1 notes were converted at October 31, 2011, the Company would issue an aggregate of 69,426,418 shares of common stock the value of which would exceed, by $127,148, the principal balance due on the 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 November 1, 2010, resulted in our accounting for these warrants as derivative instruments, and they are recognized as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Generally, while these notes are outstanding, increases in our stock price will result in losses and decreases in our stock price will result in gains related to these warrants included in our net income (loss) for such periods.

 

See also Note 5 – Convertible Debentures – “Fair value of financial instruments.”

 

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 (formerly SFAS 157, “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 quoted 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 and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their generally short maturities.

 

We measured the fair value of the Series 1 Notes by using the Binomial Valuation model. As of October 31, 2011, the assumptions used to measure fair value of the liability embedded in our outstanding Series I Warrants included a warrant exercise price of $0.0036 per share, a common share price of $0.0065, a discount rate of 0.06%, and a volatility of 190%.

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial instrument liabilities as of October 31, 2011 (See also Note 5 – Convertible Debentures – “Series 1 Notes”) :

Similar purchase and conversion transactions have occurred with Asher subsequent to October 31, 2011. See Note 13 – “Subsequent Events.”

 

Other Convertible Notes

 

On October 26, 2010, Asher Enterprises entered into a Purchase Agreement with an unaffiliated noteholder to purchase the Amended and Restated 10% Convertible Note issued to the latter by the Company in the aggregate amount of $64,865 for a $60,000 loan made to the Company in June 2009, plus the $4,865 in interest accrued on such loan. Asher entered into a similar transaction in December 2010 with a second noteholder and purchased an Amended and Restated 8% Convertible Note in the sum of $25,000. Both of such notes were fully converted by Asher during fiscal 2011 into a total of 21,565,458 shares of common stock issued at prices ranging from $0.003 to $0.007 per share. The Company has calculated the intrinsic value of the conversion feature as of the date of issuance of the restated notes (using the agreed discount rate of 42%) and fully amortized the aggregate $65,074 cost as of October 31, 2011.

 

On November 10, 2010, the Company borrowed $64,868 from the above unaffiliated party on terms similar to the Asher notes. The Note matures 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 noteholder 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 and is amortizing the expense over the life of the loan. The Company has expensed $29,255 with regard to this beneficial conversion feature as well as $6,309 in accrued interest on the note as of October 31, 2011. If the note had been converted as of October 31, 2011, the Company would have issued a total of 27,278,385 shares of common stock and would have fully amortized the remaining expense of the conversion feature.

On March 16, 2009, the Company’s largest stockholder, Mr. Anthony Frank, purchased a $75,000 convertible debenture for which the Company has expensed $19,705 in accrued interest as of October 31, 2011. The debenture is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the Company’s common stock at a fair market value of 75% of the lowest closing bid price per share for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding conversion. The debentures are also redeemable by the Company: 1) if before six months at 120% of the principal value, plus interest; or 2) if after six months, at 131% of principal, plus interest. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, $18,750, is being amortized over the three-year life of the debenture. If the note had been converted as of October 31, 2011, the Company would have issued a total of 30,241,935 shares of common stock and would have fully amortized the remaining expense of the conversion feature.

 

Between August and October 2011, the Company issued Amended and Restated Convertible Notes to four unaffiliated individuals on loans made to the Company in fiscal 2010, in the form of cash or services rendered, that had matured in the aggregate sum of $140,000. The amended notes bear interest at 6% or 8% and are convertible into common shares at a discount ranging from 55% to 60% of 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 to be $148,653 as of the date of issuance of the amended notes and will amortize the cost over the life of the loans. As of October 31, 2011, $127,500 of the principal and $6,876 of the interest accrued on such notes was converted by the noteholders into an aggregate of 96,550,902 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.00075 to $0.0018 per share. Asher Enterprises, Inc. purchased all but 5,733,333 of the shares issued upon these conversions. As of October 31, 2011, the Company had expensed a total of $6,956 in accrued interest and there remains an aggregate principal balance of $12,500 due on these amended notes. If the $12,500 balance of the note had been converted as of October 31, 2011, the Company would have issued a total of 6,775,068 shares of common stock and would have fully amortized the remaining expense of the conversion feature.

 

On August 1, 2011, an unaffiliated party purchased a $50,000 convertible debenture for which the Company has accrued interest at the rate of 6% and has expensed $748 in accrued interest as of October 31, 2011. The debenture is 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 intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, $16,667, is being amortized over the one-year life of the debenture. . If the note had been converted as of October 31, 2011, the Company would have issued a total of 14,285,714 shares of common stock and would have fully amortized the remaining expense of the conversion feature.

 

At October 31, 2011 and 2010, convertible debentures and Series 1 notes consisted of the following:

Net deferred noncurrent tax assets      
Total deferred tax assets   $  

 

The Company, based upon its history of losses and management’s assessment of when operations are anticipated to generate taxable income, has concluded that it is more likely than not that none of the net deferred income tax assets will be realized through future taxable earnings and has established a valuation allowance for them. The change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended October 31, 2011 was a decrease of $179,000.

 

Reconciliation of the effective income tax rate to the U.S. statutory income tax rate is as follows:

The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards begin expiring through 2029. The Company also has federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $165,000 and $130,000, respectively.

 

Management regularly evaluates the likelihood of realizing the benefit for income tax positions taken by the Company in various federal and state filings by considering all relevant facts, circumstances and information available. If management believes it is more likely than not that a position will be sustained, the Company will recognize a benefit at the largest amount which is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company has not recognized any contingencies for uncertain tax positions for the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010. Although, the IRS is not currently examining any of the Company’s income tax returns, tax years 2007 through 2010 remain open and are subject to examination.

Between November 2, 2010 and October 21, 2011, the Company issued a total of 271,546,796 shares of common stock upon the conversion of $372,365 in convertible notes and $13,651 in interest at prices ranging from $0.0004 to $0.0075 per share.

 

Between November 5, 2010 and October 25, 2011, Dutchess Opportunity Fund purchased 18,577,834 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.004 and $0.013 per share under the terms of the May 4, 2010 Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company received net proceeds of $102,226 over the eleven separate sale transactions.

 

Effective on February 5, 2011, the Board of Directors approved the establishment of the Company’s 2011 Employee Benefit Plan, authorizing the issuance of up to 15 million shares to employees, directors, officers, consultants, or advisors of the Company who are determined to be eligible to receive an option or stock award under the plan. During the twelve months ended October 31, 2011, the Board authorized the issuance of all 15 million shares under the Plan to five consultants for legal, administrative and marketing services rendered. The shares were issued at prices ranging from $0.004 to $0.01 per share and the Company expensed a total of $96,000 in legal and consulting fees. Of such shares and expense, 6,000,000 were issued to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Michael W. Brennan at a cost of $36,000.

 

On June 1, 2011, the Company issued 600,000 shares of restricted common stock as partial consideration for a $30,000 convertible term loan received from one lender. The number of shares issuable was determined by dividing the principal amount of the loan by the greater of $0.05 per share or the fair market value on the loan date. The value of the shares was determined to be $0.003565 per share and $2,139 was recorded as interest expense.

 

On June 1, 2011, the Board of Directors authorized an issuance of 3,000,000 shares of common stock to Victor Hollander, Chief Financial Officer, for services rendered. The total fair market value of the shares was $18,000, or $0.006 per share.

 

During the twelve months ended October 31, 2011, pursuant to his compensation arrangement, Mr. Brennan received 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an aggregate fair market value of $5,385 issued at prices ranging from $0.01 to $0.0045 per share and options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock with a fair market value of $29.

 

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.

 

F-17
 

 

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, 2011, 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, 2011.

 

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.

Similar to the above-referenced Benefit Plan, the Stock Plan permits the Company to grant up to three (3) million shares of common stock or options or purchase common stock to eligible employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors. The Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 584,472 shares of common stock under the Stock Plan in May 2008 to various individuals, including officers and directors, in exchange for cancellation of loans and interest as well as fees and expenses due them from the Company. The FMV of the stock on the grant date was $0.30 per share in cancellation of $175,342 in accrued debt.

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.

 

No warrants were granted by the Company during fiscal 2011. During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2010, the Company granted warrants as follows:

 

On February 8, 2010, the Company granted two-year warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock as partial consideration for a $30,000 loan. The warrants vest in full as of the grant date with an exercise price of $0.03 per share. The fair market value of these warrants was also recorded as consulting expense in the amount of $24,745 as of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011.

 

On October 28, 2010, the Board granted warrants to purchase a total of 4,000,000 shares of common stock to two consultants to the Company. The warrants are exercisable until October 28, 2012 at $0.011 per share. The Company recognized a non-cash compensation expense of $37,532 on these issuances.

Commencing on January 1, 2005, the Company sponsored a Simple IRA retirement plan which covers substantially all qualified full-time employees. Participation in the plan is voluntary, and employer contributions are determined on an annual basis. Currently employer contributions are being made at the rate of 3% of the employees’ base annual wages. The Company’s contribution to the IRA plan was $639 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010. No contributions to the IRA plan were made during fiscal 2011.

1. Nature of our Business, Development Stage Company and Continuance of Operations

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplated the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has incurred substantial losses and there is substantial doubt that the Company will generate sufficient revenues in the foreseeable future to meet its operating cash requirements. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to continue operations depends on its success in obtaining additional capital in an amount sufficient to meet its cash needs. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in its report on the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2011 which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. (the “Company”), a California corporation, is a holding company whose operations are conducted through its Nevada subsidiary, Micro Imaging Technology (“MIT”). As of January 31, 2012, the Company owns eighty point seven percent (80.7%) of the issued and outstanding stock of MIT.

 

The losses incurred to date which are applicable to the minority stockholders of the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, MIT, exceed the value of the equity held by the minority stockholders. Such losses have been allocated to the Company as the majority stockholder and are included in the net loss and accumulated deficit in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended January 31, 2012. Any future profits reported by our subsidiary will be allocated to the Company until the minority’s share of losses previously absorbed by the Company have been recovered.

 

In 1997, the Company began marketing a small, point-of-use water treatment product aimed at the high purity segment of commercial and industrial water treatment markets. In February 2000, the Company formed Electropure EDI, Inc. (EDI), a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, through which all manufacturing and sales of its proprietary water treatment products were then conducted. In October 2005, the Company sold the assets of the EDI subsidiary and discontinued operations.

 

The Company acquired, in October 1997, an exclusive license to patent and intellectual property rights involving laser light scattering techniques to be utilized in the detection and monitoring of toxicants in drinking water. In February 2000, the Company formed Micro Imaging Technology (MIT), a majority-owned Nevada subsidiary, to conduct research and development based upon advancements developed and patented from the licensed technology. The technology being developed is a non-biologically based system utilizing both proprietary hardware and software to rapidly (near real time) determine the specific specie of an unknown microbe present in a fluid with a high degree of statistical probability (“MIT system”). It will analyze a sample presented to it and compare its characteristics to a library of known microbe characteristics on file. At present, it is the Company’s only operation.

 

Effective with the sale of its EDI operation in October 2005, the Company’s planned principal operation, the further development and marketing of its remaining technology, has not produced any significant revenue and, as such, the Company, beginning with the fiscal year starting November 1, 2005, is considered a development stage enterprise.

 

2. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments which management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at January 31, 2012 and results of operations for the periods presented.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

 

Results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and footnotes as of and for the year ended October 31, 2011, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2012.

 

F-27
 

 

3. Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

 

As of January 31, 2012, the amounts due two former consultants to the Company represented 44% ($298,748) and 16% ($112,000) of the total amount due for accounts payable to non-affiliates.

 

4. Inventories

 

Effective October 31, 2011, the Company expensed approximately $13,500 in raw materials and 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. Commencing November 1, 2011, these systems are being depreciated over an expected useful life of 3 years.

 

5. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accounting policies followed are as set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company has not experienced any material change in its critical accounting policies since November 1, 2011. The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, which are based upon historical experience and on other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company considers the following accounting policies to be most critical in their potential effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

In 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 Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 to have a material effect on its operating results or financial position.

 

F-28
 

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for a period. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Potential common shares outstanding principally include convertible notes payable and stock options under our stock plan. Since the Company has incurred losses, the effect of any common stock equivalent would be anti-dilutive.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation costs for stock options issued to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

 

No stock-based compensation was recognized during the three months ended January 31, 2012.

 

On February 14, 2012, the Board of Directors adopted the 2012 Employee Benefit Plan which is authorized to grant up to Sixty (60) million shares of common stock or options to purchase common stock to eligible employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors. Eligibility is determined by the Board of Directors. No shares or options have been granted under the Plan as of the date of this report.

 

The following table summarizes information about options granted under the Company’s equity compensation plans through January 31, 2012 and otherwise to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Generally, options vest on an annual pro rata basis over various periods of time and are exercisable, upon proper notice, in whole or in part at any time upon vesting. Typically, in the case of an employee, vested options terminate when an employee leaves the Company. The options granted have contractual lives ranging from two to ten years.

6. 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 January 4, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc. in connection with the issuance of ten (10) separate 8% convertible notes in various principal amounts, aggregating $345,000. The Company paid a total of $25,500 out of the proceeds of the notes to Asher for legal fees and expenses related to the referenced agreements. The notes generally mature in nine (9) months, commencing May 2011 through October 2012, and are 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 contain 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 have been 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. Asher may convert any or all of the unpaid principal note prior to the maturity date, commencing 180 days following the date of the Note. The notes are 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 is revalued each reporting period and gains and losses are recognized in the statement of operations under “Other Income (Expense)”. As of the three months ended January 31, 2012, this derivative liability was $148,837.

 

As of January 31, 2012, Asher has converted a total of $222,500 and $8,900 in principal and accrued interest, respectively, on these notes and has received a total of 186,040,962 shares of common stock upon the conversions at prices ranging from $0.0004 to $0.004 per share.

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 (formerly SFAS 157, “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 quoted 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 and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their generally short maturities.

 

We measured the fair value of the Series 1 Notes by using the Binomial Valuation model. As of January 31, 2012, the assumptions used to measure fair value of the liability embedded in our outstanding Series I Notes included an exercise price of $0.0026 per share, a common share price of $0.0047, a discount rate of 0.08%, and a volatility of 185%.

 

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial instrument liabilities as of January 31, 2012 (See also Note 5 – Convertible Debentures – “Series 1 Notes”) :

Other Convertible Notes

 

On November 10, 2010, the Company borrowed $64,868 from the above unaffiliated party on terms similar to the Asher notes. The Note matures 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 noteholder 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 and is amortizing the expense over the life of the loan. The Company has expensed $36,837 with regard to this beneficial conversion feature as well as $7,944 in accrued interest on the note as of January 31, 2012. If the note had been converted as of January 31, 2012, the Company would have issued a total of 22,670,703 shares of common stock and would have fully amortized the remaining expense of the conversion feature.

 

On March 16, 2009, the Company’s largest stockholder, Mr. Anthony Frank, purchased a $75,000 convertible debenture for which the Company has expensed $21,596 in accrued interest as of January 31, 2012. The debenture matures on March 16, 2012 and bears interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The debenture is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the Company’s common stock at a fair market value of 75% of the lowest closing bid price per share for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding conversion. The debentures are also redeemable by the Company: 1) if before six months at 120% of the principal value, plus interest; or 2) if after six months, at 131% of principal, plus interest. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, $18,750, is being amortized over the three-year life of the debenture. If the note had been converted as of January 31, 2012, the Company would have issued a total of 20,833,333 shares of common stock and would have fully amortized the remaining expense of the conversion feature.

 

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 $376 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 of 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 loans. As of January 31, 2012, the Company had expensed a total of $269 in accrued interest on the remaining principal balance of $12,500. If the $12,500 balance of the note had been converted as of January 31, 2012, the Company would have issued a total of 5,630,669 shares of common stock and would have fully amortized the remaining expense of the conversion feature.

 

On August 1, 2011, an unaffiliated party purchased a $50,000 convertible debenture for which the Company has accrued interest at the rate of 6% and has expensed $1,504 in accrued interest as of January 31, 2012. The debenture is 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 intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, $16,667, is being amortized over the one-year life of the debenture. If the note had been converted as of January 31, 2012, the Company would have issued a total of 13,513,605 shares of common stock and would have fully amortized the remaining expense of the conversion feature. The principal balance of this note was converted into common stock in February 2012. See Note 10 – “Subsequent Events.”
