MICRO IMAGING TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

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, 2012 which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. (the “Company”), a California corporation, is a holding company whose operations are conducted through its Nevada subsidiary, Micro Imaging Technology (“MIT”). As of July 31, 2013, the Company owned 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 nine months ended July 31, 2013. 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 the 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 July 31, 2013 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.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

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, 2012, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2013.

 

Changes in Capitalization and Reverse Stock Split

 

On February 8, 2013, the Company effectively amended its Articles of Incorporation and decreased the authorized number of shares of Common Stock from 2.5 billion to 25 million shares. At the same time, the Company underwent a five hundred-for-one (500:1) reverse stock split of its Common Stock and Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. For purposes of this Quarterly Report, all issuances of common stock and options or warrants to purchase common stock, if any, are reflected retroactively in post-reverse split amounts. As of July 31, 2013, the reverse split effected by the Company resulted in a reduction in capital stock and an increase in additional paid-in capital in the amount of $24,677,786.

 

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has not generated revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. The Company has obtained funds from several stockholders and believes this funding will continue. Management believes the existing stockholders will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of its core business.

 

3. Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

 

Accounts Payable – Trade

 

As of July 31, 2013, the amount due to a former consultant to the Company, $112,000, represented 36% of the total amount due for accounts payable to non-affiliates. As of July 31, 2013, the Company owes its current independent accounting firm $31,500, which represents 10% of the total amount due for accounts payable. An additional 21% of accounts payable, or $64,517, is due legal counsel in the Alpine MIT Partners litigation in Texas.

 

Litigation and Claims

 

On May 16, 2012, Alpine MIT Partners, LLC (Plaintiffs) filed a civil action against the Company and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey G. Nunez, (collectively, the Company), in the Texas District Court, Travis County. Plaintiffs alleged breach of contract and civil conspiracy, as well as tortious interference with contractual relations and prospective business relations. The lawsuit alleges that the Company breached certain provisions of a March 7, 2012 Securities Purchase Agreement the Company executed with the Plaintiff to sell up to $2.0 million of 7% Senior Secured five-year Convertible Debentures convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $.003 per share. The purchase and sale of the first $1.0 million Debenture was scheduled to close on or before April 6, 2012 and was subject to, among other things, Alpine closing the necessary equity funding to consummate the transactions. No money was ever received by the Company from Alpine.

The lawsuit also suggests that the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey G. Nunez, has a history of regulatory and securities law violations. The Company’s Board of Directors has researched the matter and understands that in January 2004, Mr. Nunez was requested by the NASD to appear and provide testimony pursuant to NASD Rule 8210. Mr. Nunez did not appear, but agreed not to associate in any capacity, in the future, with NASD member firms. The Company’s Board of Directors believes this to be of no consequence with respect to Mr. Nunez’ qualifications to serve as a board member and chief executive officer of the Company.

 

The Company argued that the lawsuit was improperly filed in Texas and that the Texas court had no jurisdiction over the Company in this matter. At a hearing on March 7, 2013, the court upheld the Company’s position and dismissed the case against the Company. In August, 2013, Alpine filed an amended Complaint against Jeffrey Nunez in the Texas case alleging tortuous interference and conspiracy to terminate the March 7, 2012 Securities Purchase Agreement. Mr. Nunez believes that the allegations of the lawsuit against him have no merit and intends to vigorously defend the matter.

 

On January 10, 2013, the Company learned that Plaintiffs had filed a lien against the Company’s patents on May 8, 2012 with the California Secretary of State under the Uniform Commercial Code. On or about January 29, 2013, the Company filed suit against Alpine MIT Partners, LLC in the Orange County, California Superior Court alleging, among other claims, that the UCC filing is unauthorized. The lawsuit also names the managing director and managing member of Alpine as Defendants and alleges that they made false promises, intentional misrepresentations and breached the contract which is the subject of the Texas suit. The Company is seeking damages of $1.6 million.

 

In accordance with accounting standards regarding loss contingencies, the Company accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and the Company discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for its financial statements not to be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote.

 

Because litigation outcomes are inherently unpredictable, the Company’s evaluation of legal proceedings often involves a series of complex assessments by management about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. If the assessments indicate that loss contingencies that could be material to any one of its financial statements are not probable, but are reasonably possible, or are probable, but cannot be estimated, then the Company discloses the nature of the loss contingencies, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss or a statement that such loss is not reasonably estimable. Since the lawsuit filed against the Company in Texas has been dismissed, no loss contingency has been accrued.

 

Antidilution Liability

 

The Company has recorded a $65,401 liability to allow for the possible dilutive impact of equity issuances that alter or effect conversion or exchange rates existing on the various dates of conversion or exercise of securities having adjustable conversion rates.

 

Accrued Payroll, Payroll Taxes and Benefits

 

From April 2010 through March 2012, payments made to two employees were recorded as reductions in accrued and unpaid payroll. In April 2012, the Company reclassified such payments as net payroll payments; calculated and recorded the employer and employee taxes that should have been withheld on such payment. Federal and state payroll tax returns have been filed for the last three quarters of 2010, all of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. Estimated penalties and interest on the late filings and payments, in the sum of $27,446, have been accrued as of July 31, 2013. On September 20, 2012, the Internal Revenue Service filed a Notice of Federal Tax Lien against the Company assessing $58,858 for unpaid taxes, penalties and interest. A Notice of Tax Lien was also filed by the State of California on November 9, 2012 in the amount of $8,206, including penalty and interest. The Company has been in contact with the respective tax authorities in an effort to negotiate a payment arrangement for the taxes due.

Accrued Payroll and Benefits consist of the above payroll taxes and salaries, wages, and vacation benefits earned by employees, but not disbursed as of July 31, 2013 and includes payroll earned, but unpaid to various employees between January 16, 2013 and July 31, 2013. Accrued Payroll also includes the above estimated penalties and interest due on such unpaid payroll taxes. Liability for vacation benefits is accrued when earned monthly and reduced when taken. At the end of each fiscal period, the balance in the accrued vacation benefits liability account is adjusted to reflect current pay rates. Annual leave earned but not taken is considered an unfunded liability since this leave will be funded from future appropriations when it is actually taken by employees.

 

4. Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and comprised entirely of finished goods. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The Company’s management monitors inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary valuation corrections when such adjustments are required.

 

5.   Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over an expected useful life of 3 or 5 years. 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 revised model of the systems has been designed 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.

 

The production tooling for the Company’s revised MIT 1000 has been capitalized and the $14,000 cost is being amortized over an estimated useful life of 3 years.

 

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.

 

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

On January 31, 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update [ASU] 2013-01, entitled Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The guidance in ASU 2013-01 amends the requirements in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification [FASB ASC] Topic 210, entitled Balance Sheet.  The ASU 2013-01 amendments to FASB ASC 210 clarify that ordinary trade receivables and receivables in general are not within the scope of ASU 2011-11, entitled Disclosure about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, where that ASU amended the guidance in FASB ASC 210. As those disclosures now are modified with the ASU 2013-01 amendments, the FASB ASC 210 balance sheet offsetting disclosures now clearly are applicable only where reporting entities are involved with bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that either are offset using the FASB ASC 210 or 815 requirements, or that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. A SU 2013-01 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.

 

On February 28, 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update [ASU] 2013-04, entitled Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The ASU 2013-04 amendments add to the guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification [FASB ASC] Topic 405, entitled Liabilities and require reporting entities to measure obligations resulting from certain joint and several liability arrangements where the total amount of the obligation is fixed as of the reporting date, as the sum of the following:

 

The amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among co-obligors.
Any additional amounts the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors.

 

While early adoption of the amended guidance is permitted, for public companies, the guidance is required to be implemented in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments need to be implemented retrospectively to all prior periods presented for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements that exist at the beginning of the year of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial position.

 

On April 22, 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update [ASU] 2013-07, entitled Liquidation Basis of Accounting. With ASU 2013-07, the FASB amends the guidance in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification [FASB ASC] Topic 205, entitled Presentation of Financial Statements. The amendments serve to clarify when and how reporting entities should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. The guidance is applicable to all reporting entities, whether they are public or private companies or not-for-profit entities. The guidance also provides principles for the recognition of assets and liabilities and disclosures, as well as related financial statement presentation requirements. The requirements in ASU 2013-07 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods. Reporting entities are required to apply the requirements in ASU 2013-07 prospectively from the day that liquidation becomes imminent. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-07 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial position.

 

On July 18, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, which provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit 2 when a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The FASB’s objective in issuing this ASU is to eliminate diversity in practice resulting from a lack of guidance on this topic in current U.S. GAAP. This ASU applies to all entities with unrecognized tax benefits that also have tax loss or tax credit carryforwards in the same tax jurisdiction as of the reporting date. Under the ASU, an entity must present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward except when:

 

An NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available as of the reporting date under the governing tax law to settle taxes that would result from the disallowance of the tax position.
The entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for this purpose (provided that the tax law permits a choice).

 

11
 

 

MICRO IMAGING TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

(Unaudited)

 

If either of these conditions exists, an entity should present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a liability and should not net the unrecognized tax benefit with a deferred tax asset.

 

ASU 2013-11 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods within those years. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial position.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for a period. Diluted earnings per share are 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 nine months ended July 31, 2013.

 

On February 14, 2012, the Board of Directors adopted the 2012 Employee Benefit Plan which is authorized to grant up to 120,000 shares of common stock or options to purchase common stock to eligible employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors. Eligibility and vesting, in the case of options, is determined by the Board of Directors. Between January 16, 2013 and February 22, 2013, the Company issued 16,000 shares of common stock which vested immediately under the Plan to legal counsel for services rendered and the fair market value of $1.05 and $1.50 per share. The aggregate value of the shares was $20,400.

 

The following table summarizes information about options granted under the Company’s equity compensation plans through July 31, 2013 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.

7. Convertible Debentures

 

Series 1 Notes

 

Under the provisions of ASC 815-40-15, “Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity-Scope and Scope Exceptions,” a number of our outstanding Convertible notes are not considered indexed to our stock, as a result of an anti-dilution protection provision in these notes. The application of ASC 815-40-15, effective August 1, 2011, resulted in our accounting for these notes as derivative instruments, and they are recognized as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

Between August 16, 2010 and February 21, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an unaffiliated lender in connection with the issuance of eleven (11) separate 8% convertible notes in various principal amounts, aggregating $387,500. As of September 14, 2012, the lender had converted all of the $387,500 in principal notes, plus $45,000 and $16,200 in principal penalties and accrued interest, respectively, on such notes and received a total of 663,219 shares of common stock upon the conversions at prices ranging from $0.20 to $1.95 per share.

On July 18, 2013, the Company entered into a new Securities Purchase Agreement with the lender in the sum of $42,500 and paid $2,500 out of the proceeds of the notes to lender for legal fees and expenses related to the referenced agreement. The note matures on April 22, 2014 and is convertible into shares of common stock at a discount of 39% 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 Note contains 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, the Series I Note is accounted for as a derivative liability, measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized as gain or loss for each reporting period thereafter. The note was recorded at fair value, using the Binomial valuation model, and a derivative liability of $42,169 was recorded for the fiscal period ended July 31, 2013. This liability will be revalued each reporting period and gains and losses will be recognized in the statement of operations under “Other Income (Expense)”.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Series I Note, the Company has instructed its stock transfer agent to reserve 780,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued if the notes are converted. Such shares have been reserved, but are not considered as issued and outstanding.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash and other current assets and liabilities to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.

 

The Company has also adopted ASC 820-10 (“Fair Value Measurements”) which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
     
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include 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.

 

The Company measured the fair value of the Series 1 Note by using the Binomial Valuation model. As of July 31, 2013, the assumptions used to measure fair value of the liability embedded in our outstanding Series I Note included an exercise price of $0.31 per share, a common share price of $0.51, a discount rate of 0.014%, and a volatility of 151%.

Other Convertible Notes

 

On November 10, 2010, the Company entered into a convertible note for $64,868 with a stockholder. The Note matured on May 31, 2012 and bears interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The Note is convertible into shares of common stock at a forty two percent (42%) discount to the average of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten (10) trading days prior to the conversion date. The note holder may convert any or all of the unpaid principal note prior to the maturity date. The Company calculated the intrinsic value of the conversion feature to be $46,973 as of the date of issuance of the debentures using the same criteria as noted above, which amount has been fully amortized as of July 31, 2013. The Company has expensed $17,665 in accrued interest on the note as of July 31, 2013. If the note had been converted as of July 31, 2013, the Company would have issued a total of 219,297 shares of common stock the value of which would exceed, by $46,973 the principal balance due on the note. The Company is currently negotiating with the lender to settle or renegotiate the Note.

 

On November 27, 2009, the Company borrowed $25,000 from an unaffiliated lender. In September 2011, the lender converted $12,500 of the principal and $2,876 in accrued interest into 17,084 shares of common stock. The Company issued an Amended and Restated Convertible Note for the $12,500 principal balance of the loan bearing 6% annual interest. The amended note matured on December 31, 2012 and on June 15, 2013, the lender converted the remaining $12,500 principal plus $1,299 in accrued interest into 23,998 shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $0.575 per share. Because the original note carried a beneficial conversion feature, the Company amortized a total of $10,507 as the intrinsic value of the note, including $3,202 which was expensed during fiscal 2013.

Payments due Mr. Brennan since February 2013, each in the amount of $7,500, have not been made per the payment schedule. As of July 31, 2013, the principal balance due to Mr. Brennan amounts to $114,450 and, although Mr. Brennan originally waived interest on the note, the Company has accrued $9,059 in interest on that amount as of July 31, 2013.

With the exception of the demand notes due current officers and directors and the overdue payments due to Mr. Brennan, all of the above notes payable were past due as of July 31, 2013. The Company is currently negotiating with holders of the remaining notes to either extend the maturity date or convert the notes into shares of common stock.

 

9. Employee Retirement Plan

 

Commencing on January 1, 2005, the Company sponsored a Simple IRA retirement plan which covers substantially all qualified full-time employees. Participation in the plan is voluntary and employer contributions are determined on an annual basis. Employer contributions would be made at the rate of three percent (3%) of the employees’ base annual wages. However, the Company made no contributions to the IRA plan during the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

10. Securities Transactions

 

Common Stock Issued in Private Placement Transactions

 

On May 8, 2012, Board member, Gregg J.

Pursuant to an April 1, 2012 consulting arrangement, the Company agreed to pay Jeffrey Nunez a five percent (5%) transaction fee on all proceeds received by the Company during the one year term of such agreement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operation

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report, including the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “projects,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, projections regarding demand for the Company’s products, the impact of the Company’s development and manufacturing process on its research and development costs, future research and development expenditures, and the Company’s ability to obtain new financing as well as assumptions related to the foregoing. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. They reflect opinions, assumptions, and estimates only as of the date they were made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances, or otherwise.

 

Results of Operations

 

References to fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 are for the nine month period ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

The Company had no sales revenue during the nine months ended July 31, 2013 or 2012.

 

Research and development expenses for the nine month period ended July 31, 2013 increased by $27,445 compared to the prior year. These expenses arose from the program which the Company initiated in December 1997 to develop the micro imaging technology for detecting and identifying contaminants in fluids. The overall increase mainly reflects additional expenditures for salaries and related costs, depreciation expense and marketing related expenses. There were also modest increases in overall operating costs, i.e., utilities, supplies and software related to the development program for the Company’s technology. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in consulting expenses in the current period as well as the amount expended on R&D materials and supplies. Research and development expense for the three months ended July 31, 2013 decreased by $38,959 in fiscal 2013 primarily in the areas of stockholder relations, travel, entertainment and consulting expenses. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in salaries and related expenses as the Company hired laboratory technicians during the current fiscal year.

 

Sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by $56,272 and $107,225 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2013, respectively, compared to the prior year period. The decrease reflects a significant reduction in consulting costs as well as expenses associated with stockholder relations and tax accounting. This decrease was partially offset, however, by an increase in salaries and a substantial increase in legal fees related to the defense of the Texas-based lawsuit brought against the Company by Alpine MIT Partners.

 

The Company realized negligible interest income during the nine months ended July 31, 2013 as all available capital was utilized to sustain operations. Interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2013 decreased by $38,797 and $334,417, respectively, compared to the prior period reflecting the conversion of outstanding debt to equity in the past year.

 

The Company recognized $2,311 in non-cash gain for the three months ended July 31, 2012, related to the derivative nature of the beneficial conversion feature of the Series 1 convertible notes issued by the Company during July 2013.

 

Components of other income and expense reflected a gain (income) of $254,779 and $271,098 for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2012 on writing off old debt. No such gains were recorded during fiscal 2013.

 

The Company recorded the minimum state income tax provision in fiscal 2013 and 2012 as the Company had cumulative net operating losses in all tax jurisdictions.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At July 31, 2013, the Company had working capital deficit of $990,065. This represents a working capital decrease of $461,399 compared to that reported at October 31, 2012. The decrease primarily reflects overall increases in current liabilities, i.e., accounts payable, accrued payroll, notes payable and derivative liabilities, while utilizing available cash for operating activities.

 

19
 

  

Our only source of cash during the nine months ended July 31, 2013 has been from the sale of common stock totaling $360,000, including $40,000 received upon the exercise of warrants, and $60,400 in short term loans. Management estimates that it utilized $47,000 per month in working capital on operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2013, compared to the approximate $72,100 per month expended during the nine month period ended July 31, 2012.

 

Plan of Operation

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in its report on the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2012 which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

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

 

In April 2012, the Company commenced the production phase of its MIT 1000 Rapid Microbial Identification System with its Hawthorne, California-based manufacturing partner. The first of twenty Systems were received in July 2012, with three additional Systems received in November 2012. The Company has participated in several food safety conferences during 2012 and 2013 and brought significant attention to its MIT 1000 which has led to follow-up contacts from several high profile independent laboratories, multinational food and food safety industry leaders, as well as from prominent academic research institutes. The Company continues to develop promotional materials and enhance its website with a view toward generating sales in the near future.

 

The Company is developing its marketing and sales strategies with distributors in Japan and the ASEAN countries (Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar) which the Company believes will assist in generating sales revenues in the near future. The Company expects to establish additional distributing partners as its marketing plans develop.

 

In June 2009, the Company received Performance Test Method (PTM) Certification from the Association of Advanced Communities Research Institute (AOAC RI) for its Identifier TM for the Listeria bacteria species, a rare but lethal food-borne infection. In 2012, the Company’s protocols for testing the pathogens E. Coli and Salmonella were accepted by the AOAC so that, once it has completed internal testing procedures (expected in early 2014), the Company will also apply for AOAC PTM Certification for those additional pathogens. When certified for the two additional pathogenic bacteria identification processes, the Company’s System will have the proven capability of identifying over 90 percent of all bacteria-causing, food-related illnesses. Concurrently, the Company is developing an Identifier TM for Staphylococcus aureus, the potentially life-threatening, contagious bacterium that can cause widespread infections, particularly in hospitals and medical clinics.

 

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 September 2013. However, no assurances can be given that the Company 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.

 

20
 

 

The Company 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 the Company 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 the Company is 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 the Company is not successful in obtaining financing for future developments, whether in the form of loans, licenses or equity transactions, it is unlikely that the Company will have sufficient cash to continue to conduct operations, particularly research and development programs, as currently planned. The Company believes that in order to raise needed capital, the Company 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 the Company can obtain additional working capital through the sale of common stock or other securities, the issuance of indebtedness or otherwise or on terms acceptable to us. Further, no assurances can be given that any such equity financing will not result in a further substantial dilution to the existing stockholders or will be on terms satisfactory to us.

 

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

In addition, based on that evaluation, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On May 16, 2012, Alpine MIT Partners, LLC (Plaintiffs) filed a civil action against the Company and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey G. Nunez, (collectively, the Company), in the Texas District Court, Travis County. Plaintiffs alleged breach of contract and civil conspiracy, as well as tortious interference with contractual relations and prospective business relations. The lawsuit alleges that the Company breached certain provisions of a March 7, 2012 Securities Purchase Agreement the Company executed with the Plaintiff to sell up to $2.0 million of 7% Senior Secured five-year Convertible Debentures convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $.003 per share. The purchase and sale of the first $1.0 million Debenture was scheduled to close on or before April 6, 2012 and was subject to, among other things, Alpine closing the necessary equity funding to consummate the transactions. No money was ever received by the Company from Alpine.

 

The lawsuit also suggests that the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey G. Nunez, has a history of regulatory and securities law violations. The Company’s Board of Directors has researched the matter and understands that in January 2004, Mr. Nunez was requested by the NASD to appear and provide testimony pursuant to NASD Rule 8210. Mr. Nunez did not appear, but agreed not to associate in any capacity, in the future, with NASD member firms. The Company’s Board of Directors believes this to be of no consequence with respect to Mr. Nunez’ qualifications to serve as a board member and chief executive officer of the Company.

 

21
 

 

At a hearing on March 7, 2013, the court dismissed the lawsuit against the Company upholding its motion that the Texas court had no jurisdiction over the matter. In August, 2013, Alpine filed an amended Complaint against Jeffrey Nunez in the Texas case alleging tortuous interference and conspiracy to terminate the March 7, 2012 Securities Purchase Agreement. Mr. Nunez believes that the allegations of the lawsuit against him have no merit and intends to vigorously defend the matter.

 

On January 10, 2013, the Company learned that Plaintiffs had filed a lien against the Company’s patents on May 8, 2012 with the California Secretary of State under the Uniform Commercial Code. On or about January 29, 2013, the Company filed suit against Alpine MIT Partners, LLC in the Orange County, California Superior Court alleging, among other claims, that the UCC filing is unauthorized. The lawsuit also names the managing director and managing member of Alpine as Defendants and alleges that they made false promises, intentional misrepresentations and breached the contract which is the subject of the Texas suit. The Company is seeking damages of $1.6 million.
