JanyH I listed what the increase in A/S
When this company was trading at .50 back in the days, The 500 million A/S was enough. Now with it trading in sub penny they had to increase the A/S. 1 share @ .0039 has the same amount of power as 1 share @ .50.
Below are a list of things that the A/S will be used for:
1. Companies do this to make sure no other company can seize control in an unfriendly takeover.
2. EPIC deal "How many and at what price"
3. JV with OSI They have committed alot of their time and money.
4. Dilution - It will happen How much

Understanding Stock Share Terms
What You Should Know about Different Share Types
By Ken Little, About.com Guide
.
Not all shares of stock are created equally. Authorized, restricted, float, outstanding and unissued shares all have different attributes. Investors need to know these terms to make informed decisions.
You will hear these terms and see some of them used in financial ratios, so it is important to understand how these types of shares differ.
First, let’s define the terms, and then I’ll explain why it is important to understand the difference.
• Authorized Shares – These shares represent the total number of shares of stock authorized when the company was created. Only a vote by the shareholders can increase this number of shares.
However, just because a company authorized a certain number of shares doesn’t mean it must issue all of them to the public. Most companies retain shares for use later called unissued stock or shares.
• Unissued Shares – Shares a company retains in its treasury and not issued to the public or to employees are unissued shares.
• Restricted Shares – Restricted shares refer to company stock used for employee incentive and compensation plans. Restricted stockowners need permission of the SEC to sell.
There is a waiting period after a company first goes public where insiders’ restricted stock is frozen. When insiders want to sell their stock, they must file a form with the SEC declaring their intention. Even insiders of established companies must file with the SEC before selling their restricted stock.
• Float Shares – Float refers to the number of shares actually available for trade on the open market. You and I can buy these shares.
• Outstanding Shares – Outstanding shares includes all the shares issued by the company, which would be the restricted shares plus the float.
Here’s a simple example with numbers to illustrate the relationship of these different shares:
• Authorized Shares – 100
• Unissued Shares – 20
• Restricted Shares – 10
• Float – 70 (100 – 20 – 10 = 70)
• Outstanding Shares – 80 (10 + 70 = 80)
Why is this Important?
Here are several key bits of information you can determine from looking at how these different share types stack up in relation to each other: • Look at the relationship of unissued shares and restricted shares to float for where controlling interest of the company will reside. Many companies retain a large percentage of the authorized shares in their treasuries or in the hands of management through restricted shares.
Companies do this to make sure no other company can seize control in an unfriendly takeover. They may also want to have stock handy for future issue instead of using debt to buy another company or for another major expenditure.
Controlling interest held in unissued stock means outside shareholders will have little influence over the decisions of the company.
• If the float of a company is very small and the stock attracts attention of investors it can become volatile because of supply and demand imbalances.
More buyers will drive the price up, which is not a bad thing if you own the stock. However, it may make the stock over priced relative to its earnings or other fundamental measures.
Likewise, if the stock falls out of favor, sellers may have trouble unloading their shares, which would tend to force the price down further and more rapidly than fundamentals might indicate.
• Watch what restricted shareholders do. You can get this information from a variety of online sources. Here is a link to MSN Money’s insider trading search function. Just enter a stock symbol and it will return the most recent sales or planned sales by insiders or major shareholders.
Most of the time, these sales signal nothing of interest to investors. When a large number of insiders, especially in young companies, file plans to sell major blocks of stock it could signal trouble.
• Notice when reading financial ratios whether they are using float or outstanding shares in the calculation. It can make a big difference in the outcome.
Conclusion
Understanding the terms used to describe various shares will help you get a better handle on analyzing companies.

Not so fast my Friend!!!!!
FTWR rebounded after some folks took some profit yesterday.
What do you think?
There wasn't much volume which kinda of scares me, but it moved up on a big down day for the NASDAQ.
DOGMA
BANKSHOT why don't you reply to my questions
I have talked to the salesperson for your BARDOT device. You are turning words around. You still have to confirm a hit on either the BARDOT device or MIT1000 device. The advantage is that 99.9 percent of the samples do not require a confirmation. I have to take that back the BARDOT is only 95% accurate according to the USDA study. For as the BARDOT is a capable of learning is false. Being a software engineer, the software can't identify a bacteria if it isn't in the database per the BARDOT salesman. Both the MIT1000 and BARDOT are both identification devices and both need confiration on a hit. So stop with the confirming device. IT IS COMMON SENSE TO CONFIRM A HIT. The saving is from not confirming each sample (99.9%). Since you are the BANKER do you see how this can save huge money.
DOGMA
JaneyH confirming device
JaneyH what they mean is after the MIT1000 gets a hit on a bacteria they must confirm it by plating and confirm the bacteria. You may thing well what the use for the MIT1000. You do not confirm any samples that don't get a hit and that is probably over 99% of the test taken. It as never change check my past post I have an email from John last September explaining how the system works. You have to confirm the hit to make sure it is correct. I would think that is common sense. Once you get a hit you can stop shipment until confirmed. I hope this helps
DOGMA
YSUNG I think those are ASHERS
If you look at one of BANKSHOT post you will find that some of ASHERS FINANCING notes already converted to common stock. I think those large trades we seen were probably ASHERS dumping those common stock. ASHERS notes were in the range of .001 to .004 so I think they dumped those common shares for nice profit. All in pennyland

FTWR WOW!!!!!
Alot more room to run just broke the 50 and 100 DMA Next stop the 200DMA 2.27 I think I don't have my chart up right now

They are the one that is manufacturing the MIT1000.

This is from KGEM
Dogma - there is no doubt about it, OSI is likely to joint venture with MMTC and based on past history, OSI will likely buy MMTC just as soon as orders start to pour in. OSI typically buys three or four small companies every year, and they have a history of helping to develop the companies they evertually buy. OSI designed most of the MIT 1000, and the designed the specialized photo sensors that make the system work.
In addition, another reason for increasing the A/S, is to protect a company from an unwanted takeover - one that would not be beneficial to share holders.

Understanding Stock Share Terms
What You Should Know about Different Share Types
By Ken Little, About.com Guide
.
Not all shares of stock are created equally. Authorized, restricted, float, outstanding and unissued shares all have different attributes. Investors need to know these terms to make informed decisions.
You will hear these terms and see some of them used in financial ratios, so it is important to understand how these types of shares differ.
First, let’s define the terms, and then I’ll explain why it is important to understand the difference.
• Authorized Shares – These shares represent the total number of shares of stock authorized when the company was created. Only a vote by the shareholders can increase this number of shares.
However, just because a company authorized a certain number of shares doesn’t mean it must issue all of them to the public. Most companies retain shares for use later called unissued stock or shares.
• Unissued Shares – Shares a company retains in its treasury and not issued to the public or to employees are unissued shares.
• Restricted Shares – Restricted shares refer to company stock used for employee incentive and compensation plans. Restricted stockowners need permission of the SEC to sell.
There is a waiting period after a company first goes public where insiders’ restricted stock is frozen. When insiders want to sell their stock, they must file a form with the SEC declaring their intention. Even insiders of established companies must file with the SEC before selling their restricted stock.
• Float Shares – Float refers to the number of shares actually available for trade on the open market. You and I can buy these shares.
• Outstanding Shares – Outstanding shares includes all the shares issued by the company, which would be the restricted shares plus the float.
Here’s a simple example with numbers to illustrate the relationship of these different shares:
• Authorized Shares – 100
• Unissued Shares – 20
• Restricted Shares – 10
• Float – 70 (100 – 20 – 10 = 70)
• Outstanding Shares – 80 (10 + 70 = 80)
Why is this Important?
Here are several key bits of information you can determine from looking at how these different share types stack up in relation to each other: • Look at the relationship of unissued shares and restricted shares to float for where controlling interest of the company will reside. Many companies retain a large percentage of the authorized shares in their treasuries or in the hands of management through restricted shares.
Companies do this to make sure no other company can seize control in an unfriendly takeover. They may also want to have stock handy for future issue instead of using debt to buy another company or for another major expenditure.
Controlling interest held in unissued stock means outside shareholders will have little influence over the decisions of the company.
• If the float of a company is very small and the stock attracts attention of investors it can become volatile because of supply and demand imbalances.
More buyers will drive the price up, which is not a bad thing if you own the stock. However, it may make the stock over priced relative to its earnings or other fundamental measures.
Likewise, if the stock falls out of favor, sellers may have trouble unloading their shares, which would tend to force the price down further and more rapidly than fundamentals might indicate.
• Watch what restricted shareholders do. You can get this information from a variety of online sources. Here is a link to MSN Money’s insider trading search function. Just enter a stock symbol and it will return the most recent sales or planned sales by insiders or major shareholders.
Most of the time, these sales signal nothing of interest to investors. When a large number of insiders, especially in young companies, file plans to sell major blocks of stock it could signal trouble.
• Notice when reading financial ratios whether they are using float or outstanding shares in the calculation. It can make a big difference in the outcome.
Conclusion
Understanding the terms used to describe various shares will help you get a better handle on analyzing companies.

KGEM THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT
OIS could possibly could be the JV
OIS trades on the NASDAQ around 61.00
OIS are the manufacturers of the MIT1000
They have invested alot of their own time and money to improve the MIT1000.
DOGMA
THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT
This could be a JV with OSI
They have invested alot of money and time to improve the MIT1000 without any type of payment.
DOGMA

OSI

xxxxx, sorry for not understanding your question. We have not been contacted by major media channels as of yet, but suspect we will once we get some traction.
xxxxx, Emily is “spot on” in her summary of testing within the dairy plant……….disposal of the bacteria is the problem. Only those companies that can afford to build a lab that is separate from their “production” do their own testing and even they also send a portion to outside labs for confirmation. So, contract labs in addition to the food processors are target customers for us. It would be better for us to talk with their contract lab instead of them.
The Dutchess equity draw down Agreement is very dependent on stock price and volume. We can only draw down cash based upon a portion of stock that they can sell. The actual formula is share volume*price*0.95. So at our current $.025 cent price, they would need to sell an average of 2M shares / day over a 10 day period for us to get $47.5K. Presently, our volume is about 200K/day, so this translates into about $9.5K/month. Our goal is to get our stock to upwards of 6 cents and our volume to 500K that would net us about $57K / month. We can draw down up to $5M given the aforementioned formula. So, this contribution is part of the $2.5M discussed. You should be able to get the details of the Dutchess Deal in our recently filed 10Q or by going to the SEC site for MMTC. If not, let me know and I will direct to the exact place.
Thanks again for your interest and support.
Best regards,
John
No it was for $2.5 mil @ .001
On July 26 The PPS was around .001 and if you go back and read my email from John he stated that they needed another 2.5 mil in financing. THIS IS JUST MY THEORY

Question is how many and at what price
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: MMTC) (OTCQB: MMTC) announced on July 26, 2011 that it has entered into a significant long-term equity alliance with EPIC Corporation (OTC: EPOR). Further details are now available: Principals of EPIC have made personal investments in an MMTC Convertible Debenture and EPIC has entered into an MIT Stock Purchase Agreement. Additionally, EPIC has formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, EPIC Healthcare Systems, Ltd., for the explicit purpose of providing a sales channel for all MIT products
Those A/S shares are for EPIC

Made 16gs on BAC
Thank you Mr. Buffet

I would not get to excited about the buy signal
The volume is way to low it was pushed up by a flipper which will sell his or her shares tomorrow morning which was probably purchased at the low .007s. Keep an eye on the volume that will tell you. You can see it forming when you get alot of buys in at the ask and then they come in a flurry buying at the ask.

MATT BAC
Thanks for your help on POT. I got in at 51.05 and sold at 54.05 made 3gs not bad. My next venture is BAC I think the bottom is in and major increase in volume. What do you think? I'm already in but would like your input.
DOGMA
No fundamentals
Like I said you need both fundamentals and charts to move higher.
They needed another 2.5 million in financing to get into production as per the webinar last fall that is why I got out at .02. Now they have financing and stock volume.
DOGMA
I'm one of them
I will not let this go below .006 I want to add another 5 mil to my 5 mil. That is why I have bids in from .007 to .005
DOGMA
We need to confirm it.
I hope not but if we do bounce it is going to be a nice bounce.
