Dear Mr. Cascio:
This correspondence is in response to your letter dated April 26, 2011 in regard to the above
referenced matter.
Set forth below are our responses to the comments in your letter. The numbering of the
responses below corresponds to the numbering set forth in the comment letter.

We acknowledge your response to prior comment 2. Please tell us the amount of Ocular
Telehealth Managements assets and liabilities as of December, 2010. Also tell us how you
determined that OTMs assets, liabilities, equity and income were immaterial to the
Company. |
|
|
|
We believe that OTMs assets, liabilities, equity and income were immaterial to the Company
for the following reasons: |
|
|
|
Total assets and liabilities of OTM at December 31, 2010 were $16,744 and $80,500,
respectively. |
|
|
|
We determined the relative immateriality of OTMs assets, liabilities, equity and income by
comparing these financial statement categories to the same categories in our consolidated
financial statements. As of December 31, 2010 OTMs assets of $16,744 was equal to
approximately .1% of Escalons total current assets of $15,380,201. OTMs liabilities of
$80,500 was equal to approximately 1.09% of Escalons current liabilities of $7,335,415.
OTMs equity of ($63,756) was equal to approximately .6% of Escalons equity of
$10,258,667. The non-controlling interest in OTMs net loss for the six-months ended
December 31, 2010 was $18,780 or 1.00% of Escalons net loss from continuing operations of
$1,868,453. These examples of OTM in comparison to our consolidated financial statements as
of December 31, 2010 is representative of OTMs relative immateriality to our Company in
the other prior periods in which OTM is shown in our financial statements. |
