Response: The Company has revised the disclosure on page 100 of the Amended Registration Statement to include 2018 and 2019 historical numbers. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that although Prosomnus’s financial advisor provided Lakeshore with projected financial information through 2025, the Company did not use such projections in determining Prosomnus’s valuation, nor was such information considered by the Lakeshore Board when considering whether to approve the transaction with Prosomnus. Lakeshore does not believe that the projections for 2024 and 2025 were material to a consideration of the transaction with Prosomnus. Therefore Lakeshore believes that such information would be misleading if presented, as shareholders could give such information greater weight than they should because of its inclusion in the prospectus/proxy statement.

 

27.Please revise to include any other financial projections provided to Lakeshore or its advisors on or after August 4, 2021. In this regard, we note that the February 25 entry indicates that ProSomnus’s financial advisor presented an “updated” financial model to Lakeshore.
