Parts II and III

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, page 32

 

1.We note your response to prior comment 5. Please tell us whether you sell your products directly to VA hospitals and provide your analysis of whether the termination of your distribution agreement with Össur Americas, Inc. will materially impact your prospects given that Össur agreed to resell your product to VA hospitals in the U.S.

 

RESPONSE: The Company’s sales force sells directly to VA hospitals, and our new distribution agreement with Otto Bock Healthcare LP (“Ottobock”) is expected to result in increased sales to VA hospitals in 2017. Ottobock has committed to larger minimum order volumes in the distribution agreement than Össur did in our former agreement with them.

2.We note your response to prior comment 6. Please quantify the amount of your increased revenues attributable to sales of your MyoPro Motion W and Motion G models. Also, revise your disclosure to clarify the “more uncertain reimbursement environment” and “a change in marketing strategy” that impacted your revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014.

 

RESPONSE: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has quantified the amount of its increased revenues attributable to sales of these two new products. The Company has also revised its disclosure to clarify the more uncertain reimbursement environment that impacted it in 2015, and the resultant change in its marketing strategy.

The Company has revised the first risk factor on page 14 to discuss the revenue obligation, the Company’s past breach of the revenue obligation, the waiver the Company was required to obtain, and the potential risks and consequences of a future breach.
