Scivanta Medical Corporation
Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
 
1.  Organization and Description of Business
 
Scivanta Medical Corporation (“Scivanta” or the “Company”), originally incorporated in New Jersey on November 29, 1982, is currently a Nevada corporation headquartered in Spring Lake, New Jersey.  The Company ceased selling all products during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.
 
On November 10, 2006, the Company acquired the exclusive world-wide rights to develop, manufacture and distribute certain proprietary technologies known as the Scivanta Cardiac Monitoring System (the “SCMS”), a minimally invasive two-balloon esophageal catheter system used to monitor cardiac performance.  The SCMS will provide the primary measurements of cardiac performance, including left atrial pressure, which is a crucial measurement in monitoring cardiac challenged patients.  The essential hardware, software and catheter components for the SCMS have been completed.  Scivanta currently has a fully assembled SCMS device that has been used in initial clinical trials. The two major items remaining in the development of the SCMS are the completion of the clinical trials and the design and engineering of the production model of the SCMS.
 
The Company will not be able to complete the clinical trials or the design and engineering of the production model of the SCMS without obtaining additional cash through an equity and/or debt financing or through corporate partnerships.  The Company is actively pursuing other potential investors and continues to engage placement agents to assist in this endeavor.  No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient capital to finish the development of the SCMS through any corporate partnerships and/or through equity and/or debt financing.  In addition, no assurances can be given that if the Company successfully develops and markets the SCMS, such product will become profitable.
 
2.  Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has incurred significant recurring operating losses, negative cash flows from operations, has a working capital deficiency and has an accumulated deficit of $22,917,858 as of April 30, 2011.  The Company also has no lending relationships with commercial banks and is dependent on the completion of a financing in order to continue operations.  The current economic slowdown has made financing more difficult to obtain.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
 
5

 
 
The Company continues to seek equity and or debt investors and continues to engage several placement agents to assist the Company in this initiative. The Company has reduced and deferred the payment of operating expenses, including the reduction of the salaries of the officers, the reduction and deferral of vendor payments, the deferral of fees due to the directors, the deferral of the payment of the accrued officers’ salaries ($741,674 as of April 30, 2011) and the deferral of the payment of bonus awards for fiscal 2008 ($87,500 as of April 30, 2011, of which $82,500 is due to officers). While the Company is aggressively pursuing the opportunities and actions described above, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its capital raising efforts.  If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it will explore strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, the possible sale of the Company. Any additional equity financing may result in substantial dilution to the Company’s stockholders.
 
3.  License and Development Agreements
 
SCMS License Agreement
 
On November 10, 2006, Scivanta entered into a technology license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with The Research Foundation of State University of New York, for and on behalf of the University at Buffalo (the “Foundation”), Donald D. Hickey, M.D. (“Hickey”) and Clas E. Lundgren (“Lundgren”).  The Foundation, Hickey and Lundgren shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Licensor.”  The License Agreement was amended on June 29, 2007, October 24, 2008, January 6, 2009 and October 29, 2009.  Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Licensor granted Scivanta the exclusive world-wide rights to develop, manufacture and distribute the SCMS, a minimally invasive two-balloon esophageal catheter system used to monitor cardiac performance.
 
Scivanta agreed to make an initial payment of $264,300 which was subsequently reduced to $262,957 pursuant to the first amendment to the License Agreement dated June 29, 2007.  Scivanta paid $40,900 on November 16, 2006, $80,000 on October 31, 2007 and was required to pay $142,057 on November 1, 2008.  Pursuant to the second amendment to the License Agreement dated October 24, 2008, the $142,057 payment was restructured as follows:  (a) $39,101 was paid in cash to Hickey on October 24, 2008; (b) $34,567 was paid in cash to Lundgren on October 24, 2008; (c) $33,822 was paid by issuing 187,900 shares of our common stock to the Foundation on October 28, 2008; and (d) $34,567 was paid in cash to Lundgren on February 4, 2009.
 
Further, pursuant to the second amendment to the License Agreement dated October 24, 2008, any milestone payments that Scivanta was required or may have been required to pay to the Licensor under the original terms of the License Agreement were eliminated in exchange for the following:  (a) a one-time cash payment by Scivanta to Hickey of $158,438 due on December 31, 2009; (b) the issuance of 224,960 shares of our common stock to the Foundation on October 28, 2008; (c)  the issuance of 162,500 shares of our common stock to Hickey on October 28, 2008 and (d) the issuance of 426,560 shares of our common stock to Lundgren on October 28, 2008.
 
Pursuant to the fourth amendment to the License Agreement, the payment of $158,438 that was due to Hickey on December 31, 2009 was restructured as follows:  (a) a cash payment of $50,000 was made to Hickey on February 28, 2010 and (b) a cash payment of $108,438 was due to Hickey on October 31, 2010.  The cash payment of $108,438 due to Hickey on October 31, 2010 was increased and restructured pursuant to an amended and restated technology license agreement dated February 14, 2011, which replaced the License Agreement, as discussed below.

Amended and Restated SCMS License Agreement

On February 14, 2011, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated technology license agreement (the “Amended and Restated License Agreement”) with Licensor.  The Amended and Restated License Agreement replaced the License Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated License Agreement, the Licensor granted Scivanta the exclusive world-wide rights to develop, manufacture and distribute the SCMS, a minimally invasive two-balloon esophageal catheter system used to monitor cardiac performance.  The term of the Amended and Restated License Agreement ends on the later of (a) the expiration date of the last to expire patent right related to the SCMS, which is currently May 1, 2027, or (b) 17 years from the sale of the first licensed product on a country by country basis.
 
Scivanta was obligated to pay Hickey $108,438 on October 31, 2010 under the License Agreement.  Pursuant to the Amended and Restated License Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Hickey an additional $26,562 as consideration for the extension of timeframes relating to the completion of certain performance based milestones as required by the License Agreement.  The Company is now required to pay Hickey an aggregate of $135,000 as follows:  (a) a cash payment of $30,000 was due to Hickey on April 30, 2011 (amount was paid in full on June 3, 2011) and (b) a cash payment of $105,000 is due to Hickey on the date that is thirty (30) days after the first commercial sale of a product utilizing the licensed technology, but no later than July 31, 2012.
 
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated License Agreement, Scivanta is required to pay the Licensor a royalty of 5% on annual net sales, as defined in the Amended and Restated License Agreement, subject to certain reductions as detailed in the Amended and Restated License Agreement.  Beginning with the first full year of sales of the SCMS in the United States and for two years thereafter, Scivanta is required to pay an annual minimum royalty of $100,000 to the Licensor against which any royalty on net sales paid in the same calendar year for sales in the United States will be credited.  Further, beginning with the first full year of sales of the SCMS outside the United States and for two years thereafter, Scivanta is required to pay an annual minimum royalty of $100,000 to the Licensor against which any royalty on net sales paid in the same calendar year for sales outside the United States will be credited.  The Company is also required to pay the Licensor 25% of all sublicensing revenue, as defined in the Amended and Restated License Agreement, received by the Company in connection with the Company’s sublicense of the rights granted to the Company under the Amended and Restated License Agreement.
 
The Amended and Restated License Agreement also requires Scivanta to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and market the SCMS within certain timeframes, subject to specified exceptions.  Further, the Amended and Restated License Agreement contains standard provisions regarding indemnification, termination and patent prosecution.

Ethox Development Agreement
 
On June 29, 2007, Scivanta and Ethox International, Inc. (“Ethox”) entered into a development agreement whereby Ethox provided Scivanta engineering and development support for the catheter component of the SCMS in exchange for the rights to manufacture the component upon regulatory approval and commercialization of the SCMS.  The development agreement had a two year term that expired on June 29, 2009.  The development agreement also contained standard provisions regarding indemnification and termination.  Subject to Scivanta raising additional capital, Scivanta and Ethox intend to negotiate an extension of the development agreement.  During the three and six months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not record any research and development expense for services and materials related to this agreement.
 
ASG Development Agreement
 
On July 2, 2007, the Company entered into a development agreement with Applied Sciences Group, Inc. (“ASG”).  Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, ASG will provide software engineering services to Scivanta on the continuing development of the SCMS.  Scivanta can terminate the agreement at any time upon written notification.  During the three and six months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not record any research and development expense for services and materials related to this development agreement.
 
Rivertek Service Agreement
 
On February 1, 2008, Scivanta and Rivertek Medical Systems, Inc. (“Rivertek”) entered into a service agreement, which was amended on April 28, 2008, whereby Rivertek provided Scivanta with project management services related to the development of the SCMS. The service agreement was amended and restated on February 5, 2009.  Pursuant to the amended and restated service agreement, Rivertek assisted Scivanta in the development of the hardware component of the SCMS and assisted in the management of the development of the software and catheter components of the SCMS. The amended and restated service agreement expired on December 31, 2010.  The services rendered to Scivanta under this contract were billed on a time and material basis. Subject to Scivanta raising additional capital, Scivanta and Rivertek intend to negotiate an extension of the amended and restated services agreement. During the three and six months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not record any research and development expense for services and materials related to this agreement.

4.  Grant Receivable
 
On October 29, 2010, the Company was awarded a Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project (“QTDP”) grant pursuant to a program created by the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. The entire grant is expected to approximate $244,479 over a two year period. The Company was awarded an initial amount of $112,500 for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 and expects to be awarded the remainder of the grant, amounting to $131,979, during its fiscal year ending October 31, 2011. The Company recorded a grant receivable of $112,500 at October 31, 2010, which amount was received by the Company in full subsequent to October 31, 2010.  The Company has no further performance obligations to meet relating to the $112,500 award.

7.  Convertible Debentures
 
On February 8, 2007, the Company closed on a private placement of 8% convertible debentures dated February 1, 2007 (the “February 2007 Debentures”).  The gross proceeds received in connection with this private placement were $250,000.  The February 2007 Debentures originally had a three year term, maturing on January 31, 2010.  In January 2010, the holders agreed to amend the February 2007 Debentures.  Pursuant to this amendment, the holders agreed to a new maturity date of January 31, 2012, extending the term of the February 2007 Debentures an additional two years.  The February 2007 Debentures bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum.  Interest is payable in annual installments, beginning on February 1, 2008, in cash or, at the option of the Company, in shares of the Company’s common stock.  If the Company elects to pay the interest in shares of the Company’s common stock, the number of shares issued as payment will be equal to the quotient of the unpaid interest divided by the market price of the Company’s common stock as defined in the February 2007 Debentures.
 
Up to 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the February 2007 Debentures is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holders at a conversion price of $0.20 per share. The remaining 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the February 2007 Debentures is convertible at the option of the holders at a conversion price of $0.30 per share. The fair value of the Company’s common stock as of February 1, 2007 was $0.20 per share. An aggregate amount of 1,041,667 shares of common stock can be issued pursuant to the February 2007 Debentures. The February 2007 Debentures also contain demand registration rights upon the request of the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding February 2007 Debentures or the securities issuable upon the conversion of the February 2007 Debentures. The Company has determined that the value attributable to the demand registration rights is de minimis.
 
Effective February 1, 2010, the Company issued 333,333 shares of its common stock to the February 2007 Debenture holders in satisfaction of $20,000 of interest due for the period February 1, 2009 through January 31, 2010. The number of shares issued as payment of the interest due was calculated based on the market price of the Company’s common stock ($0.06 per share) as defined in the February 2007 Debentures.
 
For the three and six months ended April 30, 2011, the Company recorded a total of $5,000 and $10,000, respectively, of interest expense related to the February 2007 Debentures. As of April 30, 2011, $25,000 of interest due on the February 2007 Debentures was accrued and is included as a component of accrued expense. On June 7, 2011, the Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock as payment of $20,000 of interest due for the period February 1, 2010 through January 31, 2011 (see Note 12).

9.  Net Loss Per Common Share
 
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of convertible debt.  The dilutive effect of the outstanding stock options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method.
 
For the three and six months ended April 30, 2011, diluted net loss per share did not include the effect of 2,495,332 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, 4,046,750 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and 1,041,677 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
For the three and six months ended April 30, 2010, diluted net loss per share did not include the effect of 2,537,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, 1,296,750 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and 1,041,677 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
10.   Stockholders’ Equity
 
Stock Option Plans
 
The Company currently has two stock option plans in place:  the 2002 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Equity Incentive Plans”).  The 2002 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders on July 5, 2002.  The aggregate number of shares of common stock which could have been awarded under the 2002 Equity Incentive Plan was 2,000,000.  As of April 30, 2011, options to purchase 1,470,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the 2002 Equity Incentive Plan.  As a result of the adoption of the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, no further awards are permitted under the 2002 Equity Incentive Plan.
 
 
11

 
 
On May 31, 2007, the stockholders approved the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.  The 2007 Equity Incentive Plan was placed into effect in order to encourage and enable employees and directors of the Company to acquire or increase their holdings of the Company’s common stock and to promote these individual’s interests in the Company thereby enhancing the efficiency, soundness, profitability, growth and stockholder value of the Company.  The 2007 Equity Incentive Plan provides for awards in the form of restricted shares, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights.  The aggregate number of shares of common stock which may be awarded under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan is 3,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.  As of April 30, 2011, options to purchase 1,025,332 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and up to 1,974,668 additional shares of the Company’s common stock can be awarded under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.
 
Stock option awards under the Equity Incentive Plans were granted at prices as determined by the Company’s compensation committee, but such prices were not less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.  Stock options granted and outstanding include only non-qualified options and vest over a period of up to five years and have a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant.

Executive Employment Agreements
 
On January 1, 2008, the Company entered into an executive employment agreement with each of David R. LaVance, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Thomas S. Gifford, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary (collectively, the “Employment Agreements”).  The term of each of the Employment Agreements commenced on January 1, 2008 and ended on December 31, 2010, but could be renewed for successive one year periods unless terminated as provided in the Employment Agreements.  The term of each of the Employment Agreements was renewed for one year ending on December 31, 2011.  Both Messrs. LaVance and Gifford shall be paid an annual base salary of $275,000, which may be increased by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors.  Effective February 1, 2010, each of Messrs. LaVance and Gifford agreed to reduce the annual base salary due to each of them to $200,000, which reduction will remain in effect until the Company is able to raise sufficient capital that will enable the Company to compensate them at the original annual base salary amount.  In addition, both Messrs.

In the event that Mr. LaVance or Mr. Gifford is terminated without Good Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreements and used herein), or Mr. LaVance or Mr. Gifford terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreements and used herein), Mr. LaVance or Mr. Gifford, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to his annual base salary in effect on the date of termination.
 
In addition, in the event that within one-hundred eighty days of a Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreements and used herein) of the Company, the employment of Mr. LaVance or Mr. Gifford is terminated by the Company or its successor without Good Cause, or Mr. LaVance or Mr. Gifford terminates his employment with the Company or its successor for Good Reason, Mr. LaVance or Mr. Gifford, as the case may be, shall be paid a severance payment; provided however, that if the termination of employment occurs prior to the Change of Control, the Change of Control must have been considered by the Company at the time of termination for Mr. LaVance or Mr. Gifford to be entitled to the severance payment.  The amount of the severance payment will be equal to two times the sum of Mr. LaVance’s or Mr. Gifford’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the termination of Mr. LaVance’s or Mr. Gifford’s employment and an amount which is the lesser of (1) $150,000 and (2) the aggregate amount of any bonuses paid to Mr. LaVance or Mr. Gifford during the twelve months prior to the earlier of (A) the effective date of the Change of Control and (B) the date Mr. LaVance’s or Mr. Gifford’s employment terminates with the Company.

12.  Subsequent Events

On May 20, 2011, the Company issued to an institutional investor an 8% convertible debenture dated May 20, 2011 (the “May 2011 Debenture”).  The gross proceeds received in connection with this private placement were $100,000. The May 2011 Debenture has a three year term maturing on May 20, 2014 and bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Interest is payable in annual installments, beginning on May 20, 2012, in cash or, at the option of the Company, in shares of the Company’s common stock. If the Company elects to pay the interest in shares of the Company’s common stock, the number of shares issued as payment will be equal to the quotient of the unpaid interest divided by the market price of the Company’s common stock as defined in the May 2011 Debenture.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Background
 
Scivanta is a Nevada corporation headquartered in Spring Lake, New Jersey.  Scivanta currently does not sell any products or technologies.
 
On November 10, 2006, we acquired the exclusive world-wide rights to develop, manufacture and distribute the SCMS, a minimally invasive two-balloon esophageal catheter system used to monitor cardiac performance. The SCMS is currently in the development stage.
 
The SCMS will provide the primary measurements of cardiac performance, including left atrial pressure, which is a crucial measurement in monitoring cardiac challenged patients.  The essential hardware, software and catheter components for the SCMS have been completed.  Scivanta currently has a fully assembled SCMS device that has been used in the initial clinical trial.  The two major items remaining in the development of the SCMS are the completion of the clinical trials and the design and engineering of the production model of the SCMS.
 
We will not be able to complete the clinical trials or the design and engineering of the production model of the SCMS without obtaining additional cash through an equity and/or debt financing or through corporate partnerships.  We continue to pursue potential investors and have engaged several placement agents to assist in this endeavor.  No assurances can be given that we will be able to obtain sufficient capital to finish the development of the SCMS through any corporate partnerships and/or through equity and/or debt financing.  In addition, no assurances can be given that if we successfully develop and market the SCMS, such product will become profitable.
 
 
17

 
 
Depending upon our ability to secure additional financing, the length of the clinical trials and the length of the FDA’s review, Scivanta estimates that it could have 510(k) premarket notification clearance from the FDA for the SCMS within twelve months of obtaining sufficient financing, which will allow Scivanta to commence sales of the SCMS in the United States shortly thereafter.  Scivanta estimates that it will commence European sales within three months following the commencement of sales in the United States.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the interim financial statements contained elsewhere herein, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  The preparation of these financial statements required us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, income taxes, contingencies and litigation.  We based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
The critical accounting estimates that we believe affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of the financial statements contained elsewhere herein are described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the Financial Statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies.
 
Results of Operations

Research and Development.  For the three months ended April 30, 2011, research and development expenses were $26,646, as compared to $2,340 for the three months ended April 30, 2010. The $24,306 increase in research and development expense for the three months ended April 30, 2011 was due to $26,562 of additional license costs related to Amended and Restated License Agreement, offset by a $2,256 decrease in patent costs.

For the six months ended April 30, 2011, research and development expenses were $34,351, as compared to $11,377 for the six months ended April 30, 2010.  The $22,974 increase in research and development expense for the six months ended April 30, 2011 was due to $26,562 of additional license costs related to Amended and Restated License Agreement, offset by a $3,588 decrease in patent costs.

The amount of research and development expense to be incurred by us during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2011 will depend upon our ability to secure additional capital through an equity and/or debt financing or corporate partnerships.  In the event that we are able to obtain additional capital sufficient to fund our research and development program, we would expect research and development expenses for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2011 to increase.  If we are unable to obtain additional capital sufficient to fund our research and development program, we would expect research and development expenses for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2011 to remain at current levels.

General and Administrative.  For the three months ended April 30, 2011, general and administrative expenses were $178,188, as compared to $224,084 for the three months ended April 30, 2010.  The $45,896, or 20%, decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2011 was primarily due to a $26,537 decrease in employee payroll and related tax and benefit costs primarily related to salary reductions, a $4,740 decrease in stock based compensation expense primarily related to stock options granted to employees and directors, a $3,156 decrease in the cost of director and officer liability insurance, a $3,750 decrease in accounting and auditing fees and a $2,735 decrease in office related expenses.

For the six months ended April 30, 2011, general and administrative expenses were $363,150, as compared to $517,878 for the six months ended April 30, 2010.  The $154,728, or 30%, decrease in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended April 30, 2011 was primarily due to a $120,764 decrease in employee payroll and related tax and benefit costs primarily related to salary reductions, a $14,240 decrease in stock based compensation expense primarily related to stock options granted to employees and directors, a $6,619 decrease in office related expenses, a $5,500 decrease in accounting and auditing fees, a $3,725 decrease in the cost of director and officer liability insurance and a $3,259 decrease in legal expenses due to a decrease in costs associated with securities reporting and other corporate activities.

The amount of general and administrative expense to be incurred by us during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2011 will depend upon our ability to secure additional capital through an equity and/or debt financing or corporate partnerships.  In the event that we are able to obtain additional capital sufficient to fund our development and marketing of the SCMS, we would expect general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2011 to increase as we build the administrative infrastructure necessary to support the development and marketing of the SCMS.  If we are unable to obtain additional capital sufficient to fund our development and marketing of the SCMS, we would expect general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2011 to decrease as we continue to reduce our operating activities.

Operating Income.  During the three and six months ended April 30, 2010, we recognized a $24,000 gain on the write-off of accounts payable and accrued expense.

Interest Expense.  During the three months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred interest expense of $5,200 and $5,625, respectively, related to the February 2007 Debentures and the notes payable related to insurance premiums.  During the six months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred interest expense of $10,320 and $10,726, respectively, related to the February 2007 Debentures and the notes payable related to insurance premiums.

Net Loss.  For the three months ended April 30, 2011, Scivanta had a net loss of $210,034, or $0.01 per share (basic and diluted), as compared to a net loss of $208,049, or $0.01 per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended April 30, 2010.  The increase in the net loss was primarily attributable to a $24,306 increase in research and development expenses and a $24,000 decrease in the gain on the write-off of accounts payable and accrued expense, offset by a $45,896 decrease in general and administrative expenses.

For the six months ended April 30, 2011, Scivanta had a net loss of $407,821, or $0.01 per share (basic and diluted), as compared to a net loss of $515,981, or $0.02 per share (basic and diluted), for the six months ended April 30, 2010.  The decrease in the net loss was primarily attributable to a $154,728 decrease in general and administrative expenses, offset by a $22,974 increase in research and development expenses and a $24,000 decrease in the gain on the write-off of accounts payable and accrued expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of April 30, 2011, Scivanta had working capital deficiency of $1,457,215 and cash and cash equivalents on hand of $74,148.  The $7,217 decrease in cash on hand from October 31, 2010 was primarily due to our continuing operating expenses, offset by the receipt of $112,500 of gross proceeds for the QTDP grant and $25,000 of gross proceeds from the private placement of a common stock unit.
 
During the past several years, Scivanta has generally sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations.  We currently do not generate any revenue from operations.  Our operations most recently have been funded through a combination of the sale of our convertible debentures and common stock, the sale of our state of New Jersey tax losses and proceeds received from the QTDP grant.

On November 26, 2010 and January 31, 2011, we received $50,000 and $62,500, respectively, of proceeds related to the QTDP grant.  On February 9, 2011, we received $25,000 of gross proceeds from the private placement of a common stock unit.  On May 20, 2011, we received $100,000 of gross proceeds from the private placement of the May 2011 Debenture.
 
As of June 10, 2011, our cash position was approximately $115,000.  Without any additional financing, we will only be able to continue our administrative operations, on a limited basis, for approximately five months from the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.  We have reduced and deferred the payment of operating expenses, including the reduction of the salaries of the officers/employees, the reduction and deferral of vendor payments, the deferral of fees due to the directors, the deferral of the payment of accrued officers’ salaries ($741,674 as of April 30, 2011) and the deferral of the payment of bonus awards for fiscal 2008 ($87,500 as of April 30, 2011, of which $82,500 is due to officers).  We are exploring strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, the possible sale of Scivanta.  Our independent registered public accounting firm included an emphasis of a matter paragraph in their report included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, which expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our financial statements included herein do not include any adjustments related to this uncertainty.

We currently do not have any lending relationships with commercial banks and do not anticipate establishing such relationships in the foreseeable future due to our limited operations and assets.  We believe that our focus should be on obtaining additional capital through the private placement of our securities.  We are actively pursuing potential equity and/or debt investors and have engaged several placement agents to assist us in this initiative.  In addition, we have reduced and deferred the payment of operating expenses.  While we are actively pursuing the opportunities and actions described above, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we will explore other strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, the sale of Scivanta.  Any additional equity financing may result in substantial dilution to our stockholders.
 
Expenditures related to the development of the SCMS are at our discretion.  Assuming that we are successful in obtaining additional financing, we estimate that we could potentially spend approximately $1,000,000 related to the development of the SCMS over the next seven to nine months.

Item 4.                    Controls and Procedures
 
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the Company’s last fiscal quarter, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s current management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), who concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.  During the Company’s last fiscal quarter, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2.                    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
On February 9, 2011, the Company sold to a private investor a common stock unit that consisted of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrant has a two year term, is exercisable at $0.10 per share and was fully vested at the date of issuance. The gross proceeds received in connection with this private placement were $25,000. The quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of closing the transaction was $0.03 per share.
 
In connection with the issuance of these shares, the Company relied on the exemption from registration for a private transaction not involving a public distribution provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

Item 5.                    Other Information
 
On May 20, 2011, the Company issued to an institutional investor the May 2011 Debenture. The gross proceeds received in connection with this private placement were $100,000. The May 2011 Debenture has a three year term maturing on May 20, 2014 and bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum.  Interest is payable in annual installments, beginning on May 20, 2012, in cash or, at the option of the Company, in shares of the Company’s common stock. If the Company elects to pay the interest in shares of the Company’s common stock, the number of shares issued as payment will be equal to the quotient of the unpaid interest divided by the market price of the Company’s common stock as defined in the May 2011 Debenture.
 
The entire principal amount of the May 2011 Debenture is convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $0.03 per share. In addition, at the option of the Company and subject to certain restrictions provided in the May 2011 Debenture, the entire principal amount of the May 2011 Debenture is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.03 per share upon the occurrence of: (a) a merger or acquisition of the Company or (b) the closing of a financing involving the Company’s common stock that results in gross proceeds to the Company, on a cumulative basis, of at least $600,000. The quoted market price of the Company’s common stock as of May 20, 2011 was $0.01 per share. An aggregate amount of 3,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock can be issued pursuant to the May 2011 Debenture.
 
In connection with the issuance of the May 2011 Debenture, the Company relied on the exemption from registration for a private transaction not involving a public distribution provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; METHOD OF PAYMENT
 
1.1. Payment of Principal and Interest.  Payment of the principal and accrued interest on this Debenture shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.  Interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the number of days elapsed) on the unpaid portion of said principal amount from time to time outstanding shall be paid by the Company at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, in like coin and currency, or at the option of the Company in shares of the Company’s Common Stock (as hereinafter defined), payable to the Payee in annual installments on each May 20 during the term of this Debenture (an “Interest Payment Date”), with the first Interest Payment Date hereunder scheduled to be May 20, 2012 and the last Interest Payment Date to be on the Maturity Date.  Interest shall accrue from the Issuance Date.  Both principal hereof and interest thereon are payable at the Holder’s address above or such other address as the Holder shall designate from time to time by written notice to the Company.  The Company will pay or cause to be paid all sums becoming due hereon for principal and interest by check, sent to the Holder’s above address or to such other address as the Holder may designate for such purpose from time to time by written notice to the Company, without any requirement for the presentation of this Debenture or making any notation thereon, except that the Holder hereof agrees that payment of the final amount due shall be made only upon surrender of this Debenture to the Company for cancellation.
 
If the Company elects to pay the interest due on a particular Interest Payment Date in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), the number of shares issued as payment of the accrued interest shall be equal to the quotient of the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest divided by the Market Price (as defined in Section 4.1 hereof) on the Interest Payment Date.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares will be issued upon the payment of accrued interest, but a payment in cash will be made, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable in connection with the payment of accrued interest in shares of Common Stock.
 
 
 
 

 
 
Prior to any sale or other disposition of this instrument, the Holder hereof agrees to endorse hereon the amount of principal paid hereon and the last date to which interest has been paid hereon and to notify the Company of the name and address of the transferee in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4 of this Debenture.

2.2. Conversion into Common Stock at Option of Company.  In the event that there shall occur (a) any consolidation, merger or acquisition of the Company with, into or by any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, acquisition or reorganization, own less than 50% of the Company’s voting power immediately after such consolidation, merger or acquisition, by vote or value, on a fully diluted basis, or (b) the closing of a financing involving the Company’s Common Stock that results in gross proceeds to the Company, on a cumulative basis, of at least six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000), at the option of the Company, the principal of this Debenture, in whole or in part, shall be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 2.6.  Interest shall accrue to and include the day prior to the date of conversion and shall be paid by check or in shares of Common Stock, pursuant to Section 1.1, on the last day of the month in which conversion rights hereunder are exercised.
 
2.3. Maximum Conversion.  Neither the Holder nor the Company shall be entitled to convert on a conversion date that amount of this Debenture in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on a conversion date, and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a conversion date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such conversion date.  For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.

The Company shall convert this Debenture upon surrender thereof for conversion properly endorsed and accompanied by a properly completed and executed Conversion Notice attached hereto as Attachment II and any documentation deemed necessary by the Company showing the availability of an exemption under applicable state and federal securities laws.  Subject to the terms of this Debenture, upon surrender of this Debenture, the Company shall issue and deliver with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the Holder of this Debenture and in such name or names as such Holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock due to such Holder upon the conversion of this Debenture.  The person or persons to whom such certificate or certificates are issued by the Company shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the date of the surrender of this Debenture.  Upon conversion, the Holder will be required to execute and deliver any documentation deemed necessary by the Company showing the availability of an exemption under applicable state and federal securities laws.
 
2.5. Covenants.
 
(a) Issuance and Shares of Common Stock upon Conversion.  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall equal the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued under this Debenture if fully converted.  The Company also covenants that all of the shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon conversion of this Debenture shall, at the time of delivery, and, subject to Section 2.4(c) hereof, be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof (other than those which the Company shall promptly pay or discharge).
 
(b) Restrictive Legend.  Each certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder following the conversion of this Debenture shall bear the following restrictive legend or a similar legend until such time as the transfer of such security is not restricted under the federal securities laws:
 
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (I) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, (II) TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT (OR ANY SIMILAR RULE UNDER SUCH ACT RELATING TO THE DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES), OR (III) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IF SUCH OPINION SHALL BE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER, THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT IS AVAILABLE.
 
2.6. Adjustment of Conversion Price and Number of Underlying Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture and the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
(a) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations.  If the Company at any time or from time to time after the date of this Debenture effects a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock or combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted so that each Holder of conversion rights under this Debenture shall have the right to convert his, her or its interests into the number of shares of Common Stock which he, she or it would have owned after the event had such shares of Common Stock been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event.  Any adjustment under this Section 2.4(a) shall become effective as of the date and time such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
(b) No Impairment.  The Company will not, through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company.

(d) Actions to Maintain Conversion Price Above Par Value.  Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment in the Conversion Price such that, upon conversion of this Debenture, shares of Common Stock with par value, if any, would be deemed to be issued below the then par value of the Common Stock, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be reasonable necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price as so adjusted.
 
(e) Certificate of Adjustment.  In any case of an adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of this Debenture, the chief financial officer or the president of the Company shall compute such adjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare and sign a certificate showing such adjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder of this Debenture at the Holder’s address as shown in the Company’s books.  The certificate shall set forth such adjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, including a statement of the number of shares of Common Stock and the type and amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon conversion of this Debenture.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
3.1. Incidental Registration. If at any time after the Issuance Date, the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act by registration on any form other than Form S-4 or S-8, whether or not for sale for its own account, it shall each such time give prompt written notice to the Holder of its intention to do so and of the Holder’s registration rights under this Article III. Upon the written request of the Holder, made as promptly as practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of notice from the Company (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities as such term is defined in Section 4.1 hereof, intended to be disposed of by the Holder and the intended method of disposition), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect, in the Registration Statement, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by the Holder to the extent required to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended methods thereof described as aforesaid; provided, however, immediately upon notification to the Company from the managing underwriter of the price at which such securities are to be sold, if such price is below the price which the Holder shall have indicated to be acceptable to it, the Company shall so advise the Holder of such price, and the Holder shall then have the right to withdraw its request to have its Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement; provided, further, that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, (a) give written notice of such determination not to register, and thereby be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from any obligation of the Company to pay the registration expenses in connection therewith), and (b) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.
 
If the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering under this Section 3.1 shall inform the Company by letter that, in its opinion, the number or type of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration would adversely affect such offering, and the Company has so advised the Holder in writing, then the Company will include in such registration, to the extent of the number and type that the Company is so advised can be sold in (or during the time of) such offering, first, all securities proposed by the Company to be sold for its own account, and second, such Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to this Debenture and all other securities proposed to be registered, pro rata, based on the number of securities proposed to be registered.
 
3.2. Obligations of the Company.  In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities as contemplated by Section 3.1, the Company shall:
 
(a) prepare a Registration Statement and file it with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”),  and thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective, which Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading;
 
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement for a period of nine (9) months;

(e) use its best efforts to prepare a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement to correct any untrue statement or omission, and deliver a number of copies of such supplement or amendment to the Holder as he, she or it may reasonably request;
 
(f) promptly notify the Holder (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible time;
 
(g) provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement; and
 
(h) cooperate with the Holder and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Holder may reasonably request.
 
3.3. Obligations of the Holder.
 
(a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Debenture with respect to the Holder that the Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder, the Registrable Securities held by the Holder and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents and agreements in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.  At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify the Holder of the information the Company requires from he, she or it (the “Requested Information”) if he, she or it elects to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.  If within three (3) Business Days of the filing date the Company has not received the Requested Information from the Holder, then the Company may file the Registration Statement without including Registrable Securities of the Holder.
 
(b) The Holder, by its, his or her acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder.
 
(c) In the event of an underwritten offering, the Holder agrees to enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, with the managing underwriter of such offering and to take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities, unless the Holder has decided not to participate.

(d) The Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.2(e), the Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until its, his or her receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.2(e) and, if so directed by the Company, the Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of such destruction) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in its, his or her possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
 
3.4. Expenses of Registration.  In connection with any and all registrations pursuant to Article III, all expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registration, filings or qualifications, including, without limitation, all registration, listing, filing and qualification fees, printing and accounting fees and costs, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne by the Company.
 
3.5. Indemnification.  In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Debenture:
 
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Holder (in such capacity) and its members, managers, directors, officers and/or agents, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Holder, and each person, if any, who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities (joint or several) (collectively, “Claims”) to which any of them may become subject under the Exchange Act, or otherwise, insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each, a “Violation”); (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3.5(d) with respect to the number of legal counsel, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Holder, and each such other person entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5, as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim, whether or not such Claim, investigation or proceeding is brought or initiated by the Company or a third party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 3.5(a) shall not (i) apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Holder expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any failure of the Holder to deliver a prospectus as required by the Securities Act; or (ii) apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holder as provided herein.
 
(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Holder is participating in such capacity, the Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the same extent and in the same manner set forth in Section 3.5(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other stockholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any of its directors or officers or any person who controls such stockholder or underwriter (each, also an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holder expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and the Holder shall promptly reimburse an Indemnified Party, as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim, whether or not such Claim, investigation or proceeding is brought or initiated by the Indemnified Party or a third party; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.5(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) The Company shall be entitled to receive indemnification from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers, and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution to the same extent as provided above, with respect to information about such persons so furnished in writing by such persons expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement.
 
(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section 3.5 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 3.5, deliver to an indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly given notice, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its, his or her own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for such party, representation of such party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  The Company shall pay for only one legal counsel for the Holder and any Indemnified Party related thereto; such legal counsel shall be selected by the Holder or such other Indemnified Party subject to the Company’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to another under this Section 3.5, except to the extent that such failure to notify results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantive rights or defenses.  The indemnification required by this Section 3.5 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
 
3.6. Contribution.  To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which, he, she or it would otherwise be liable under Section 3.5 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that (a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under Section 3.5, (b) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning used in the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (c) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
