Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed November 9 , 2012 File No. 333-182639 Dear Mr. West : We have reviewed your registration statement and have the following comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the requested information . If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances or do not believe an amen dment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Management’s Discussion and Analy sis of Financial Condition an d Results of Operations, page 51 1. We note your revisions in response to comments 12 and 13 from our letter dated October 16, 2012, and we reissue the comment, in part. Please expand your MD&A to add a discussion of the key vari ables and other qualitative and quantitative factors on which the company's executives focus in evaluating your financial condition and operating performance. For example, if management considers cost control as a measure of your overall performance, you should identify this figure an indicator of your performance and discuss changes in costs over the periods covered by the MD&A. Michael J. West Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. November 21, 2012 Page 2 Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 55 2. In order to provide an investor with a better understanding of the composition of your accounts receivable balance, please revise to: Disclose in a comparative tabular format, the payor mix concentrations and related aging of accounts receivable. The aging schedule may be based on management’s own reporting criteria (i.e. unbilled, less than 30 days, 30 to 60 days etc.) or some other reasonable presentation. At a minimum, the disclosur e should indicate the past due amounts and a breakdown by payor classification (i.e. Medicare, Medicaid, Managed care and other, and Self -pay). We would expect Self -pay to be separately classified from any other grouping. If your billing system does not have the capacity to provide an aging schedule of your receivables, disclose that fact and clarify how this affects your ability to estimate your allowance for bad debts. If you have amounts that are pending approval from third party payors (i.e. Medicaid Pending), please disclose the balances of such amounts, where they have been classified in your aging buckets, and what payor classification they have been grouped with. If amounts are classified outside of self -pay, tell us why this classification is ap propriate, and disclose the historical percentage of amounts that get reclassified into self -pay. Strategy, page 52 3. We note your statements that “[w]e could generate up to approximately $25,000 in additional revenue in the first 12 months after we star t selling …” and “[w]e expect that this webstore could generate approximately $25,000 in revenues in the first 12 months of operation ….” The basis for factual assertions and for the company's or management's belief in certain quantitative or qualitative statements must be clear from the text of the prospectus or provided supplementally to us . Revise your disclosure to address our concerns or advise us supplementally as necessary. 4. We note your statement that “ while we are attempting to increase the perce ntage of revenues from private insurers and others, we are continuing to increase our Medicare sales as evidenced by the fact that we have submitted bits in four new Ohio markets ….” Please revise your disclosure to clarify that submitting bids in four ne w Ohio markets will not necessarily increase your Medicare sales if your bids are not successful.
