File Number 0-51804
Dear Ms. Long:
In connection with your review of Pediatric Prosthetics, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Amendment No. 2 to Form 10-SB and Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14C, we respectfully submit the following response to the comments included in your letter of January 9, 2007.
Comment 1: Description of Business
We note your disclosure in response to comment 2 of our letter dated August 10, 2006. Please revise further to describe in more detail the limited operations of the partnership solely controlled by Pediatric owners prior to the exchange.
Response
We revised and described in greater detail the limited operations of the partnership in our amended filing as you have requested.
Comment 2: Management Discussion And Analysis
On page 30 and 41, you refer to “filing this report.” Please revise, as your filing is a Form 10-SB registration statement, or advise us otherwise.
Response
We have revised the disclosure regarding the “filing of this report” in our amended Form 10-SB registration statement as you have requested.
Comment 3: Management Discussion And Analysis
We note your revised disclosures on page 31, concerning your hope to gain approval for trading on the OTCBB. We understand that the OTCBB is a quotation medium for subscribing NASD members and is not a issuer listing service. Further only market makers can apply to quote securities on the OTCBB. Pleas disclose whether you or anyone acting on your behalf will take affirmative steps to request or encourage any broker-dealer to act as a market maker for Pediatric Prosthetics. If so, you should discuss whether there have been any preliminary discussions between Pediatric Prosthetics or anyone acting on its behalf, and any market maker. Also summarize these discussions and identify the participants involved. However, should you decide to undertake these efforts at a later date, disclose when, how and by whom.
Response
Will revised and updated our previous disclosures regarding our hope to gain approval on the OTCBB as you have requested in our amended filing.
Comment 4: Restatement
We note that you restated your financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005 in your Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2006 and in your amended Form 10-SB to correct your revenue accounting. We also note that you have restated your financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 in your Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and in your amended Form 10-SB to correct your revenue accounting and your accounting for shares issued to a consultant. We further note that you have amended you Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, to correct your revenue accounting, your accounting for shares issued to a consultant, and your accounting for the beneficial conversion feature. Please address the following:
Issue 1
Please tell us why you do not have an adjustment to shares issued to consultants in your restated fiscal 2005 financial statements, similar to your adjustment in your financial statements for the quarters ended September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006. We assume that the reason for this is that no shares were issued to your consultants prior to fiscal 2006. Please confirm.
Response
Your understanding is correct.
Issue 2
Please confirm that your stock compensation-related adjustments relate to (1) reversing the total expense that you recognized in the period when you first issued shares to your consultant, (2) recognizing the portion of the cost associated with this consultant in each quarter that he provided services, and (3) reversing the $188,000 of income recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 related to the consultant surrendering his shares for his uncompleted work.
Response
Your understanding is correct.
Issue 3
Pleas provide us with a rollforward of the amounts in equity related to your stock-based compensation for each quarter from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006. In this rollforward, please show us your original accounting, your adjustments, and your restated amounts, based on the amounts you have presented in your disclosures of your restated balance sheet and restated income statement.
Response
The rollforward has been prepared in accordance with your instructions and included as attachment 1 to this letter of responses.
Issue 4
In your financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2006 and the quarters ended September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, you disclose that you have restated revenue and cost of services provided by Host Affiliates. Please confirm that this restatement reflects both (1) the correction of your revenue recognition policy from the cash basis to the accrual basis of accounting and (2) the gross up of revenues from your Host Affiliates that you previously recognized on a net basis. If so, please tell us the amounts involved for each correction and where they are reflected in your restatement note.
Response
Your understanding is correct. The restatement reflects both (1) the correction of our revenue recognition policy from the cash basis to the accrual basis of accounting and (2) the gross up of revenues from our Host Affiliates that we previously recognized on a net basis. The amounts involved are detailed in attachment 2 to this letter of responses and are disclosed on a combined basis in Footnote 3 to the June 30, 2006 year end financial statements and the financial statements for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006. The amount of revenue change attributable the gross up of revenues from our Host Affiliates that we previously recognized on a net basis can be inferred from the change in operating expenses presented as “Change in cost of goods sold related to gross-up billings by Host Affiliates.”
Issue 5
We also note that in your financials statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, that your accounts receivable increased as a result or the restatement, whereas your revenue decreased. Please explain these opposing trends.
Response
The reason for the increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in revenue in the restatement for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 is due to the fact that in the previously filed financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, cash collections from Host Affiliates were greater than the gross revenue that was earned on an accrual basis from Host Affiliates in the restated financial statements. However, accounts receivable increased in the quarter ended September 30, 2005, due to uncollected receivables from prior quarters.
Issue 6
In addition, in your financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, you disclose an increase in your allowance for doubtful accounts. Please tell us why you do not have such an increase in your restated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005 and quarters ended December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006.
Response
We reviewed the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts in each quarter that was restated to properly report revenue and receivables from host affiliates and determined that the allowance was adequate for the year ended June 30, 2005 and quarters ended December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006.
Issue 7
Further, in your financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, please tell us why the change in stockholders’ deficit related to the change in net loss of $596,261 on page F-6 of your amended Form 10-SB does not agree to to the change in net loss of $559, 486, based on the amounts disclosed on page F-7.
Response
The reason the change in shareholders' deficit related to the change in net loss of $596,261 on page F-6 of our amended Form 10-SB does not agree to the change in net loss of $559, 486 disclosed on page F-7 is due to an error in presentation. The amendment to Form 10-SB includes a correction of this error.
Comment 5: Restatement
Please tell us whether you plan to restate your income statements for the periods ended December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005 to correct your revenue recognition policy from cash to accrual basis of accounting and to gross up your revenue and cost of sales at your Host Affiliates that you previously recognized on a net basis. If so, please also confirm you will restate your balance sheet, statement of cash flows, and statement of stockholders’ equity accordingly.
Response
We do not intend to restate our income statements, balance sheets, statements of cash flows, and statements of stockholders’ equity for the periods ended December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005 because our revenue from Host Affiliates was insignificant in those periods. We have prepared and included as attachment 2 to this letter of responses, an analysis of Host Affiliate revenues and related cost of sales for the periods ended December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005.
Comment 6 - Restatement
Please be advised that you are required to file an item 4.02(a) Form 8-K to alert investors of your restatement. We note that you have not done so as of yet with respect to the restated financial statements you have filed. Please do so. Further, please include all of the information required by item 4.02(a) of Form 8-K, including disclosure of the following information.
| · | the date of the conclusion regarding the non-reliance and an identification of the financial statements and years or periods covered that should no longer be relied upon; |

Response
Form 8-K filed as requested, which includes the information required by item 4.02(a).
Comment 7 - Restatement
Additionally, when you file your 4.02 Form 8-K, please ensure that you separately and clearly describe , in detail, your original accounting, your revised accounting, and the amount associated with each of the issues listed below for each restated period, as we note your restatement disclosures in your restated financial statements for fiscal 2005 and 2006 are confusing:
· | Revenue recognition - change from cash basis to accrual basis. |
| |
· | Recognition of allowance for doubtful accounts - related to receivables now recognized under the accrual basis |
| |
· | Revenue gross up - to present sales at Host Affiliates on a gross basis |
| |
· | Shares issued to consultant - reversal of unearned compensation expense |
| |
· | Common stock surrendered - reversal of income recognized upon the surrender of common stock |
| |
· | Convertible debt - accounting for discount recognized on convertible debt |
| |
· | Other - please separately disclose any other corrections |
| |
Response
Form 8-K filed as requested, which includes the information required by item 4.02(a).
Comment 8 - Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14C - Incorporation by Reference
Please also indicate that you are incorporating by reference and mailing to shareholders your Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
Response
We will include the fact that we are incorporating by reference and mailing to shareholders our Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 as you have requested (or our 10-QSB for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 if available at that time).
