MIT Terminates Equity Financing Arrangement
SAN CLEMENTE, CA, Jun 01, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: MMTC) (OTCQB: MMTC) announced that it has cancelled the Investment Agreement it signed with Dutchess Opportunity Fund, LP in May 2010 for equity financing of up to $5,000,000 over a 36-month term. The Company also withdrew the Form S-1 Registration Statement that it had filed earlier this month to cover shares it had intended to sell to Dutchess under the original agreement.

Dutchess Capital is an investment manager which provides creative financing for promising, growth-stage companies. Since signing the Agreement, the Company sold nearly 51 million shares of its common stock to Dutchess under the equity financing arrangement and received over $200,000 in net proceeds from the sales. "We are grateful to Dutchess for their support and assistance over the past two years," stated Jeffrey Nunez, MIT's new Chairman and CEO. "Dutchess was wonderful to work with and allowed the Company to carry on its important work developing the MIT 1000 rapid microbial identification system," Nunez continued. "Fortunately, we have moved the Company and product development forward to the point where we no longer require the Dutchess financing and believe we will soon be in a position to commercialize our product and initiate sales."
