Net (Loss) Income

The change to a net loss during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 was primarily attributable to a $3,100,000 decrease in other income related to the settlement of the litigation with the Syntho Group and a $442,085 increase in research and development expenses, on a net basis, offset by a $205,551 increase in income tax benefit related to the sale of a portion of our unused net operating loss carryovers for the State of New Jersey and a $262,605 decrease in general and administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of October 31, 2008, Scivanta Medical had working capital of $968,793 and cash and cash equivalents on hand of $598,644. The $1,410,265 decrease in cash on hand from October 31, 2007 was primarily due to Scivanta Medical’s continuing operating expenses offset by the receipt of $306,803 of net proceeds related to the sale of a portion of its unused net operating loss carryovers for the State of New Jersey to a third party through the 2007 NJEDA Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program.
