We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to our investors and management for evaluating our performance. By adjusting our operating results to reflect our core, ongoing operating performance, it allows our investors and management to monitor trends from period to period and benchmark against our peer companies. We previously included a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA in the discussion of cash flows. However, beginning with the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we moved the discussion of Adjusted EBITDA to a separate section for adjusted financial measures. In addition, we have edited the description of Adjusted EBITDA in our recently filed Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 to clarify that Adjusted EBITDA is used by the Company as a performance measure. The Company&#8217;s future filings will also reflect these clarifications. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Item 8.

The report included in the filing included a typographical error in the body of the report, which referenced internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, rather than December 31, 2015. However, the beginning of the attestation report itself clearly refers to Cherry Bekaert&#8217;s audit of our internal controls as of December 31, 2015, and the attestation report also refers to Cherry Bekaert&#8217;s audit and opinion of the December 31, 2015 financial statements. In addition, Cherry Bekaert&#8217;s audit report immediately above the attestation report specifically states that they audited the Company&#8217;s internal controls as of December 31, 2015 and gave an unqualified opinion dated February 29, 2016.  Furthermore, the manually signed copy of the attestation report does indeed reference the correct date. Therefore, while we acknowledge the typographical error, our registered public accounting firm audited and opined on our internal controls as of December 31, 2015, and we do not believe that an amendment to the filing is necessary in light of the overall context of the filing. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Note 2.

Management prepared  the purchase price allocations and, in doing so, considered and relied in part upon a report of a third party valuation specialist to assist with estimating the fair value of certain assets acquired in the business combination with Stability, Inc., including goodwill. In response to the Staff&#8217;s comment, the Company will revise its disclosure in future filings, to clarify that the purchase price allocation figures should be attributed to the Company and not to the third party valuation firm.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">United States Securities and Exchange Commission</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">November 30, 2016</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Page 4</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:16px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">5.</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Please tell us the method you used to determine the acquisition date fair value of the common shares issued.

This has resulted in a lower revenue trajectory in the periods that apply to the earn-out thus reducing the fair value of the earn-out.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">United States Securities and Exchange Commission</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">November 30, 2016</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Page 6</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:16px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">10.</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">In addition, in future filings, for each reporting period after the acquisition date until  you settle the contingent consideration liability (or the liability is cancelled or expires), consistent with ASC 805-30-50-4 please disclose (i) any changes in the recognized amount of the contingent liability, including any differences arising upon settlement; (ii) any changes in the range of outcomes (undiscounted) and the reasons for those changes; (iii) the disclosures about fair value required by ASC 820-10-50; and (iv) a reconciliation of the carrying amount of goodwill at the beginning and end of the reporting period.</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">In response to the Staff&#8217;s comment, to the extent applicable, in future filings the Company will include such disclosures.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Management&#8217;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Revenue, page 24</font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:16px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">11.</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Please disclose in future filings, as applicable, the reasons underlying the changes in your results of operations, including any changes attributable to price and volume or to the introduction of new products, and quantify the amount of those changes.
