We have considered your response to comment 12 and it remains unclear to us how a $1,625,000 valuation for HealthLynked Corp. was justifiable as of September 5, 2014. Your response explains that Dr. Dent was issued di sproportionately more shares in HealthLynked Corp. because Dr. Dent was responsible for creating the HealthLynked Network and HealthLynked Corp. Currently however “HealthLynked Network is in the early stages of development” and prior to this merger Health Lynked Corp. was a shell company without material operations between its formation on August 6, 2014 and the September 5, 2014 merger date. In this regard please describe for us the following: How and when HealthLynked Corp. came to own and benefit from H ealthLynked Network, The considerations exchanged in the acquisition of HealthLynked Networks by HealthLynked, Corp. and how they were accounted for, The extent to which HealthLynked Neteworks and HealthLynked Corp. engaged in material development and othe r business operations prior to the September 5, 2014 merger, and if material how pre -merger results of HealthLynked Neteworks and HealthLynked Corp. are accounted for in your historical financial statements, Why you considered HealthLynked Network to be in the healthcare information services (“HIS”) industry when, on September 5, 2014, it appears to have been a component of a shell company without material operations, and How you determined and calculated the $1,625,000 and $875,000 values attributed to HealthLynked Corp. and Naples Women’s Center, respectively, at the time of the merger. 4. It further appears from your response to comment 12 that Dr. Dent was compensated with common stock in the September 5, 2014 transaction for $402,000 of pre -merger loans he made to Naples Women’s Center. These related party loans however appear to have been repaid in cash according to the disclosures in your consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014. Please clarify your accounting for thi s portion of the transaction and explain why neither your consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit and of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 reflect a Michael Dent HealthLynked Corp.
