Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30 Filed September 28, 2021 Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period Ended December 31, 2021 File No. 001-32731 Dear Sirs and Madams: This letter is in response to your letter dated February 17, 2022 providing comments in Aytu BioPharma, Inc.’s (“Aytu”) Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021 and Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period Ended December 31, 2021. For your convenience, your comments have been reproduced in their entirety below, followed by Aytu’s responses. Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021 Item 9A. Controls and Procedures, page 106 1. We have the following comments related to your response to comment 1 in our letter dated February 3, 2022. Please amend your 10-K as follows: ● Clearly disclose that internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) and disclosure controls and procedures (DCP) are NOT effective at June 30, 2021, as required by Item 308(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. ● Remove the reference to excluding changes in internal control over financial reporting related to the Neos subsidiary. Since you included Neos in your assessment of ICFR at June 30, 2021, changes in ICFR at Neos should not be excluded from your assessment. See Question 3 and 7 of Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Certification of Disclosure in Exchange Act Periodic Reports - Frequently Asked Questions, which is available on the Commission's website. ● Include disclosure of any changes in ICFR that occurred since/due to the acquisition of Neos that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, your ICFR. ● Clearly describe the actual material weakness in DCP rather than just state that it relates to your analysis of the accounting for goodwill and other intangibles and accounting for the impairment of long lived assets. For example, describe the actual controls that failed such as whether it related to impairment testing, valuation matters, etc. This way, when you describe how the material weaknesses were remediated in subsequent filings, investors can better understand how the changes in ICFR remediated the material weaknesses. Aytu’s Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, we propose to amend Form 10-K Item 9A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 as follows: “Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below and in Part I Item 1A. of the Annual Report on Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Notwithstanding the material weakness, our management believes that the financial statements included elsewhere in this report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2021, we concluded that we had a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to our analysis for the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets. We perform an assessment to determine if an impairment of long-lived assets has occurred annually or when circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred. This assessment is prepared by internal staffing and reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer. At year end, it was determined that we improperly aggregated certain assets when performing this assessment. This resulted in an incorrect conclusion that no impairment had occurred. In response, we sought and received technical guidance from third-party providers to review the assumptions and calculations included in our assessment. This deficiency did not result in a revision of any of our previously issued financial statements. However, if not addressed, the deficiency could result in a material misstatement in the future. In response, we have incorporated utilization of a third-party provider to review our assumptions and computations in our impairment analysis for completeness and accuracy. We believe that our controls are now designed properly and operating effectively. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021. Our assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting excluded those processes or controls that exist at our Neos subsidiary, which we acquired on March 19, 2021. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Our management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on these criteria as a result of the material weakness discussed above. Plante Moran, PLLC, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, was not required to issue an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Other than the material weakness discussed above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, known to the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer that occurred during the period covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s assessment over changes in our internal controls over financial reporting excluded those processes or controls that exist at our Neos subsidiary, which we acquired from the March 19, 2021 Neos Merger. Neos’ last annual report for the year ended December 31, 2020 has been audited without any qualifications. Since the merger, there has been no significant change to its internal control over financial reporting.” Form 10-Q for the Quarter Period Ended December 31, 2021 Item 4. Controls and Procedures, page 47 2. We reference the disclosure that you have taken a "number of steps, including incorporating the third-party provider review and expertise" to remediate the material weakness in disclosure controls and procedures. In future filings, please provide a more detailed discussion of the specific changes that were made to your processes and how those changes resulted in the correction of the material weakness identified. Aytu’s Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, we hereby confirm that in future filings we will provide a more detailed discussion of the specific changes that were made to our processes and how those changes resulted in the correction of any material weakness identified. * * * * * Thank you for your review of the filing.

Washington, D.C. 20549 Attn: Kristin Lochhead and Brian Cascio Re: Response to the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Comment dated January 26, 2022, regarding Aytu BioPharma, Inc. Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30 Filed September 28, 2021 File No. 001-32731 Dear Sirs and Madams: This letter is in response to your letter dated February 3, 2022 providing comments in Aytu BioPharma, Inc.’s (“Aytu”) Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021. For your convenience, your comment has been reproduced in its entirety below, followed by Aytu’s responses. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures, page 106 1. Reference your response to prior comment 3 that your "internal control over financial reporting is effective with the exception of the material weakness noted above." Item 308(a)(3) of Regulation S-K prohibits management from concluding internal control over financial reporting is effective when one or more material weaknesses exist. Please amend the filing to comply with Item 308(a)(3) of Regulation S-K or explain to us why no such revision is required. Aytu’s Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, rather than amending the Form 10-K filing, we have provided disclosure in our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022, filed on February 14, 2022, stating that, “In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2021, we concluded that we had a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to our analysis for the accounting of goodwill and other intangibles and accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets. As a result, our management concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective (whereas we previously indicated in our Form 10-K that it is effective as of that date).” We believe that while the disclosure in the Form 10-K provided sufficient information about the material weakness such that it was fully disclosed, the Form 10-Q disclosure resolves the open discrepancy identified by the Staff. * * * * * Thank you for your review of the filing. If you have any questions or additional comments with respect to this response letter, please contact the undersigned by phone at 303-996-2639, or Anthony Epps of Dorsey & Whitney LLP, our outside legal counsel at 303-352-1109.

For your convenience, your comments have been reproduced in their entirety below, followed by Aytu’s responses. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations, Comparison of the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, page 98 1. We reference your disclosures attributing material fluctuations in your revenues, costs and expenses to multiple factors. In future filings, please quantify each factor cited so that investors may understand the magnitude and relative impact of each factor. For example, you should quantify the impact of material acquisitions on revenue and costs of revenues as well as the amount of revenue loss attributed to terminated contracts. Also consider providing revenue fluctuations by product or product grouping. In addition, future filings should separately quantify research and development expenses by each product candidate for which significant investments were made during the periods, e.g., for AR101 and Healight. Refer to Item 303(b) of Regulation S-K. Aytu’s Response: Aytu acknowledges the Staff’s comment and will seek to provide appropriate disclosures in future filings of quantitative information regarding the factors material to fluctuations in our revenues, costs and expenses period over period. We will also take into consideration your suggestion to provide these changes by product or product grouping. We will make these changes beginning with our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2021. Critical Accounting Estimates, Impairment of Long-lived Assets, page 105 2. We note your disclosure related to possible future Goodwill impairment on page F-23. In regards to your goodwill and the related impairment evaluation, please revise your future filings to identify the at-risk reporting units (i.e., fair value is not substantially in excess of the carrying value) and disclose the percentage by which fair value exceeded carrying value as of the date of the most recent test and the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Aytu’s Response: Aytu acknowledges the Staff’s comment and will seek to provide appropriate disclosures in future filings, beginning with our Form 10-Q for the period ending December 31, 2021, to outline that we evaluate goodwill impairment for our BioPharma segment and our Consumer Health segment, the only two segments with associated goodwill. We also propose that we disclose the fair and carrying values of the Consumer Health segment rather than the percentage difference that the Staff recommends, proving additional information to the reader of the filing. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures, page 106 3. We note your discussion in the first paragraph under Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures that as of June 30, 2021 as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting your disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Please explain to us how you concluded that your internal control over financial reporting is effective at June 30, 2021. Aytu’s Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, we note that the stated conclusion that our controls were effective at June 30, 2021 was an oversight. The statement should have read, “Our management has concluded that, with the exception of the material weakness noted above, as of June 30, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria” * * * * * Thank you for your review of the filing.

Dear Sir/Madam:
This letter responds to the staff’s comments set forth
in the December 30, 2019 letter regarding the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed December 17, 2019 and Amendment
No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed December 20, 2019. For your convenience, the staff’s comments are included
below and we have numbered our responses accordingly.
In some of the responses, we have agreed to change or supplement
the disclosures in future filings. We are doing so in the spirit of cooperation with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
and not because we believe our prior filing is materially deficient or inaccurate. Accordingly, any changes implemented in future
filings should not be taken as an admission that prior disclosures were in any way deficient. We have also indicated in some responses
that we believe no change in disclosure is appropriate, and have explained why.
Our responses are as follows:

September 18, 2019, December 2, 2019 and December 11, 2019.
General
Staff Comment No. 2.
We note that your forum selection provision in Section
8 of your Amended and Restated Bylaws identifies the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain
litigation, including any “derivative action.” Please disclose whether this provision applies to actions arising under
the Securities Act or Exchange Act. In that regard, we note that Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction
over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and
Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce
any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. If the provision applies to Securities
Act claims, please also revise your prospectus to state that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision
and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. If this provision
does not apply to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, please tell us how you will inform investors in future
filings that the provision does not apply to any actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act.
Aytu BioScience, Inc.’s Response:
We respectfullyadvise the Staff that the our forum selection
provision follows established Delaware case law and legislation. Accordingly, this provision is not intended to apply to claims
arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In response to the
Staff’s comment, we agree that we will include in our future filings, the following risk factor disclosure:
“Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provides
that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our
stockholders, including claims under the Securities Act, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable
judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
Division of Corporation Finance
December 31, 2019
Page 3
Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provides that the Court
of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any
derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by
any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant
to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws or (iv) any action asserting
a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring
a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which
may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees and agents. Stockholders who do bring a claim in
the Court of Chancery could face additional litigation costs in pursuing any such claim, particularly if they do not reside in
or near the State of Delaware. The Court of Chancery may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including
courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments
or results may be more favorable to us than to our stockholders. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision
contained in our certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated
with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the exclusive provision shall not preclude or contract the scope of exclusive federal or concurrent jurisdiction
for actions brought under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the respective
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.”

Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Responses to the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Comments dated November 18, 2019, regarding Aytu BioScience, Inc. (the “Company”) Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A Filed November 4, 2019 File No. 001-38247 Dear Sir/Madam: This letter responds to the staff’s comments set forth in the November 18, 2019 letter regarding the above-referenced Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”). We are concurrently submitting via EDGAR this letter and Amendment No.1 to the Preliminary Proxy Statement (the “Amendment”). For your convenience, the staff’s comments are included below and we have numbered our responses accordingly. In some of the responses, we have agreed to change or supplement the disclosures in future filings. We are doing so in the spirit of cooperation with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and not because we believe our prior filing is materially deficient or inaccurate. Accordingly, any changes implemented in future filings should not be taken as an admission that prior disclosures were in any way deficient. We have also indicated in some responses that we believe no change in disclosure is appropriate, and have explained why. Our responses are as follows: Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) Proposal, page 7 Staff Comment No. 1. Please revise to disclose how you have used or how you intend to use the proceeds from the transaction discussed in this proposal, including the approximate amount devoted to each purpose if determinable. Refer to Item 11(c)(2) of Schedule 14A. Aytu BioScience, Inc.’s Response: In response to the Staff’s comments we have updated the disclosure on page 9 under the background section of the Amendment to describe the use of proceeds for the transaction discussed in the Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) Proposal. Conversion Proposal, page 11 Staff Comment No. 2. Please revise your disclosure to provide the information required by Items 11, 13 and 14 with respect to the Cerecor acquisition. Refer to Note A of Schedule 14A. Aytu BioScience, Inc.’s Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, and pursuant to Item 11 of Schedule 14A, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 17 of the Amendment to clarifiy that the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock do not have preemptive rights. The Company respectfully notes that because the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock are the same class as the Company’s currently outstanding common stock, the information called for by Item 202 of Regulation S-K is not required other than as set forth in Item 11(b) of Schedule 14A. We believe that the current disclosure in the Amendment, other than Item 13(a) of Schedule 14A, covers the requirements of Item 11. With respect to Items 13 and 14 and Note A of Schedule 14A, the Company advises the Staff that the Company previously considered the instruction in Note A to Schedule 14A in determining whether to include in the Proxy Statement the disclosures required by Items 13 and 14 of Schedule 14A. After review and consideration, the Company determined, and continues to believe, that the instruction in Note A is inapplicable to the Conversion Proposal because it does not involve a solicitation seeking shareholder approval of the authorization of additional securities which are to be used to acquire another company; rather, the Conversion Proposal seeks shareholder approval, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, of the conversion of our outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock because the conversion, (i) could result in us issuing more than 20% of our common stock in an offering that is not a public offering (the “Nasdaq Cap”) and (ii) because of the relationship of Armistice in both Cerecor and the Company (the “Nasdaq Acquistion Rule”). In addition, for the reasons discussed more fully below, we believe that the information required by Items 13 and 14 is not material to, and could potentially mislead, our shareholders in connection with the requested vote on the Conversion Proposal. Note A to Schedule 14A acknowledges that certain proposals to be acted upon by shareholders may involve the matters described by, and would therefore require the disclosure of information pursuant to, more than one item of Schedule 14A. Note A goes on to provide an example of such a circumstance “where a solicitation of security holders is for the purpose of approving the authorization of additional securities which are to be used to acquire another specified company, and the registrant’s security holders will not have a separate opportunity to vote upon the transaction, the solicitation to authorize the securities is also a solicitation with respect to the acquisition” (emphasis added). While the Company, through the Conversion Proposal, is asking its shareholders to approve the issuance of additional securities, the additional securities to be issued (shares of common stock) will not be used for the purpose of acquiring Cerecor Inc. (“Cerecor”) or any of its related companies or assets. As disclosed in the Proxy Statement, the Cerecor asset acquisition (the “Acquistion”) has already been fully consummated and the outcome of the vote on the Conversion Proposal will have no impact whatsoever on the Acquisition or in any way facilitate or hinder that completed transaction. The Conversion Proposal instead relates to the independent questions of whether shares of common stock may be issued upon the conversion of the Company’s previously issued shares of Series G Preferred in excess of the Nasdaq Cap and in accordance with the Nasdaq Acquistion Rule. The Conversion Proposal allows the Company’s shareholders to vote on what the capital structure of the Company will look like on a go-forward basis after the Company’s special meeting. If the Conversion Proposal is not approved, the Series G Preferred Stock will remain outstanding and will not be convertible into shares of common stock. This outcome was contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the shares of Series G Preferred Stock were issued and of which Cerecor was fully aware at the time it made its investment decision. As disclosed in the Proxy Statement, shares of our Series G Preferred Stock were issued as part of the consideration issued in connection with the Acqusition of certain assets of Cerecor with was completed on October 31, 2019. Under the Company’s organizational documents, Delaware law and Nasdaq listing rules, the Company and its board of directors had full authority, without shareholder approval, to issue the shares of Series G Preferred Stock and to consummate the Acquisition. No shareholder vote is being sought via the Proxy Statement with respect to the authorization of the series of preferred stock. Rather, at special meeting, the Company’s shareholders will be asked to vote on whether the Series G Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of common stock in excess of the Nasdaq Cap and in compliance with the Nasdaq Acquistion Rule, such vote being required only by the listing rules of the Nasdaq and not by Delaware law or the Company’s organizational documents. In addition, Instruction 1 to Item 13 of Schedule 14A states that any or all of the information required by Item 13(a) not material for the exercise of prudent judgment in regard to the matter to be acted upon may be omitted. As disclosed above, we do not believe that the information is material for the exercise of prudent judgement in regard to the Conversion Proposal. In light of the foregoing, the Company respectfully submits that the information required by Items 13 and 14 of Schedule 14A is inapplicable to the decision to be made by the Company’s shareholders with respect to the Conversion Proposal. Such information, if included in the Proxy Statement, may in fact cause confusion regarding the nature of the Conversion Proposal and mislead shareholders into believing that by voting against the Conversion Proposal they are voting against the consummation of the Acquisition. We call your attention to page 17 of the Amendment where we have included additional disclosure to the effect that the Acquisition has been fully consummated and that the Acquisition will not be unwound or otherwise affected by the outcome of the vote on the Conversion Proposal. Thank you for your review of the filing. If you should have any questions regarding the response letter, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at 720-437-6580, or Anthony W. Epps at (303) 352-1109. Sincerely, Aytu BioScience, Inc. /s/ Joshua Disbrow Joshua Disbrow Chief Executive Officer cc: Anthony W. Epps, Dorsey & Whitney LLP

and Gentlemen:
On
behalf of Aytu BioScience, Inc. (the “Company”), please accept this letter as the Company’s response to the
comments of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the above referenced filing as set forth in
the Staff’s comment letter dated May 4, 2018.
Preliminary
Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed April 27, 2018
SEC
Comment
Proposal
No. 3 - Approval of an Amendment... to Effect a Reverse Stock Split, page 7
1. Please
revise your disclosure to be consistent regarding the effect of the reverse stock split
on the authorized shares of common stock. For example, you state on page 10 that the
reverse split will also have a corresponding decrease in the number of authorized shares
of your common stock. However, the Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation
attached as Appendix B does not amend the number of authorized shares of common stock.
Please also revise your disclosure to be consistent regarding your treatment of fractional
shares. For example, on page 10, it states that fractional shares will be rounded up
to the next whole number. However, on page 11, you state that the board will have discretion
to determine whether to arrange for the disposition of fractional interests, pay cash
for the fair value of fractions of a share or provide a number of shares rounded up to
the next whole number in lieu of any fractional shares. Also, to the extent the board
retains discretion as to whether it will arrange for the disposition of the fractional
interests, please tell us what consideration you have given to the registration requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933 as to any such disposition.
Response:
The
Company will file a definitive proxy statement that clarifies that implementation of the reverse stock split will not affect the
number of authorized shares of common stock. Also the definitive proxy statement will include disclosure throughout that fractional
shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the next whole share.
In
addition, the paragraph on page 10 regarding the effect of the reverse stock split on the authorized shares will be revised to
read as follows:
The reverse split will not affect
the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. Because
the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock will be reduced under the reverse split by the ratio as determined
by the board, the number of authorized but unissued shares will increase (a separate proposal to be voted upon at the 2018 Annual
Meeting, however, would approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock
from 100,000,000 to 300,000,000. See Proposal No. 2.) The reverse split will not have an effect on the number of authorized shares
of preferred stock, which would remain at 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001. While we currently have no
specific understandings, arrangements or agreements with respect to any future actions that would require us to issue a material
amount of the additional new shares of our common stock, in light of our potential need for additional financing in the future,
our board is requesting shareholders to provide the flexibility to issue additional shares in the future if and as needed. See
Proposal No. 2 above.

you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please contact the undersigned or Marcelle S. Balcombe at (212) 930-9700.

Washington, DC 20549 Attn: Suzanne Hayes Re: Aytu BioScience, Inc. Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A Filed March 15, 2016 File No. 000-53121 Dear Ms. Hayes: We write this letter on behalf of our client Aytu BioScience, Inc. in response to the comment of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the above-captioned filing, as set forth in the Staff’s comment letter dated March 28, 2016. For the Staff’s convenience, our response below is numbered to correspond to the numbered comment in the Staff’s letter, which is repeated below in italics. Proposal No. 3, page 8 1. We note that your board of directors will be given discretion to set the exchange ratio for your reverse stock split at a point between 1-for-4 shares and 1-for-12 shares. We also note your disclosure on page 10 that you currently have 389 record holders. Please tell us what consideration you gave to the application of Exchange Act Rule 13e-3 and address whether the transaction will result in one of the going-private effects listed in Rule 13e-3(a)(3)(ii). Also revise the proxy statement to disclose whether the transaction will result in fewer than 300 holders of record, which would cause you to be eligible to terminate reporting obligations under Section 12(g) or Section 15(d). Alternatively, please comply with the requirements as set forth in paragraphs (d), (e), and (f) of Rule 13e-3. Division of Corporation Finance March 30, 2016 Page 2 On page 10, the second paragraph of the preliminary proxy statement filed on March 15 read as follows: “As of the record date, there were [389] holders of record of our common stock (although there are significantly more beneficial holders). We do not expect the Reverse Stock Split to result in a significant reduction in the number of record holders.” We had intended the statement that there was no expectation of a significant decrease in the number of stockholders to convey that there also was no expectation of a going private transaction. We have increased the disclosure in this paragraph to specifically state this and to address the Staff’s comment. On page 10, the second paragraph of the preliminary proxy statement now reads as follows: “As of the record date, there were [389] holders of record of our common stock (although there are significantly more beneficial holders). Based on our stockholders of record as of April 1, 2016, we do not expect that cashing out fractional stockholders, if any, would reduce the number of our stockholders of record to under 300 holders. In addition, our Board of Directors does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a series of plans or proposals of a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.” Aytu respectfully submits that the foregoing discussion is appropriately responsive to the comments of the Staff. If the Staff has any further comments, please direct them to the undersigned. * * * * * Division of Corporation Finance March 30, 2016 Page 3 On behalf of Aytu, we acknowledge that: · Aytu is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; · Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and · Aytu may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed July 1, 2015 File No. 333-205414 Dear Mr. Riedler: We are writing in response to the comments of the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission that were contained in your letter dated July 27, 2015, regarding the above-referenced filing of Aytu BioScience, Inc., Englewood, Colorado (the “Company”). In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has also filed an amendment to its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”). This letter sets forth each comment contained in your letter dated July 27, 2015 and, following the comment, the Company’s response. The Staff’s comment is repeated in bold face, and the Company’s response follows in ordinary type. General 1. We note that in August 2014 Tramadol was classified by the Drug Enforcement Administration as a Schedule IV Controlled Substance and it would appear likely that Zertane would in turn receive the same classification. Please describe the likelihood of this designation and its implications in the Summary and in more detail as an independent risk factor. Also disclose how Zertane as a Schedule IV Controlled Substances would be regulated in the Regulation Section. Response: Disclosure regarding the controlled substance classification of tramadol has been added at page 3 of the Summary, a risk factor regarding the classification has been added at page 22, and a discussion of the Drug Enforcement Agency regulation has been added at page 91. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission July 30, 2015 Page 2 Prospectus Summary Company Overview, page 2 2. Please indicate here and in your Business section how and when you acquired the RedoxSYS System. Response: The requested disclosure has been added at pages 3 and 68. 3. Please remove the reference to the global market for the prevention and treatment for prostate cancer here and wherever else it appears in your filing, as it is not relevant to the projection for the diagnosis and screening segment that you also cite. Please also remove the projection to the global urological disorders market in your second paragraph, as this information is not relevant to either your marketed product or your product development efforts. Response: The references to these global markets have been removed. 4. Where you discuss the projected size of the premature ejaculation market please specify which market you are referring to, e.g. global, North American, U.S., etc. Response: The text on pages 2 and 52 now states that the market referred to is the U.S. and European markets. 5. We note your statement on page 3 that you hold method-of-use patents for Zertane. Please indicate whether you developed these patents or whether you licensed or acquired them from a third-party. If so, please identify the third party in your disclosure. Response: The requested disclosure has been added to page 3. Products, page 3 6. Please indicate here when ProstaScint received FDA approval. Response: The requested disclosure has been added to page 3. 7. Please state here that the RedoxSYS System must receive 501(k) clearance by the FDA prior to being marketed for clinical use in the United States. Response: The requested disclosure has been added to page 4. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission July 30, 2015 Page 3 Product Pipeline, page 5 8. Please briefly explain more fully the significance of using the Section 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for the development of Zertane, including the need for fewer clinical trials and more expedited approval, as you have done in your risk factor on page 17. Response: The requested disclosure has been added to page 5. 9. Please explain the description of Zertane’s active ingredient, tramadol hydrochloride, as “well characterized.” Response: The requested disclosure has been added to page 6. 10. Please note here that you have not yet submitted an Investigational New Drug Application for Zertane and will not until at least the second half of 2015. Response: The requested disclosure has been added to page 5. Risk Factors Risks Related to Product Development, Regulatory Approval and Commercialization “Favorable results in the prior clinical trials of Zertane outside of the United States may not be predictive…,” page 13 11. Please include the definition of premature ejaculation you used in your Phase 2 trial in your risk factor in order to explain how your enrollment for it differed from that of the Phase 3 trial and, if it is not self-evident, explain how it was broader than the definition used for Phase 3. Response: The requested disclosure has been added to page 14. 12. Please also amend this risk factor to note that you have not been involved in any of the clinical trials performed to date on Zertane and that you have relied on the data collected by a previous partner of your majority shareholder in determining the course of future development. Please identify this former partner here and wherever else you reference it in your disclosure. Response: The requested disclosure has been added to pages 14 to 15. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission July 30, 2015 Page 4 “We face substantial competition from companies with considerably more resources and experience than we have….” page 20 13. Please amend this risk factor to include examples of the companies and their products and/or product candidates that you believe may be competitive with yours. In particular, you should note here that Promescent, an over-the-counter topical spray for the treatment of premature ejaculation, received FDA approval in 2013. Response: The requested disclosure has been added to page 21. “Our products and product candidates may cause undesirable side effects…,” page 22 14. Please amend this risk factor to include examples of the adverse effects identified in the clinical tests performed on Zertane to date and those associated with the use of its active ingredient. Response: The requested disclosure has been added to page 23. “We face intense competition from established and new companies in the in-vitro diagnostics field,” page 26 15. This risk factor is substantially similar to the one concerning competition on page 20. Please merge them into a single risk factor in order to avoid repetition in your disclosure. Response: The two risk factors have been combined into one on pages 21 to 22. Risks Related to Our Organization, Structure and Operation “Ampio controls us, including having the ability to control the election of our directors…,” page 31 16. This risk factor is substantially similar to the third one on page 37. Please merge them into a single risk factor in order to avoid repetition. Response: The two risk factors have been combined into one on page 32. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Research and Development, page 46 17. Please disclose the costs incurred during each period presented and to date for the RedoxSYS system and Zertane separately. Response: The requested disclosure has been added to page 47. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission July 30, 2015 Page 5 Business Business Overview, page 53 18. Where you discuss ProstaScint on page 53, please explain the terms “radiopharmaceutical” and “radioimmunoscintigraphy.” Response: The requested disclosure has been added to page 54. Zertane, page 59 19. In your table summarizing the clinical tests performed on Zertane to date, your “Enrollment” column reflects numbers that do not appear to match the number of actual subjects. For example, in the two Phase 1 trials the column indicates that 0 and 4 subjects were enrolled, respectively, while the “Noteworthy Findings” column suggests that at least 13 and 7 subjects were enrolled. Further, the last Phase 3 trial you describe on page 62 indicates that there were 399 subjects enrolled but the Enrollment column states only 56 subjects. Please review this disclosure with a view toward eliminating any discrepancies. Response: The table on pages 63 to 65 has been revised to show the correct patient enrollment figures. The error in the original filing was due to one or more numerals on the left side of each figure being deleted due to an undetected formatting error. Manufacturing, page 81 20. Please indicate whether the supply agreement with the manufacturer of tramadol hydrochloride referred to here is the contract with Ethylpharm you describe on pages 76-77. If it is not, please file this agreement as an exhibit and also amend this disclosure to identify the manufacturer and state the material provisions of this agreement. Response: The agreement is with Ethypharm and that fact has been clarified on page 83. Please be advised that the Registration Statement has also been revised to provide updates to certain information regarding the stock symbol and stock price as well as minor edits, particularly in the Risk Factors section, and to add a Recent Developments section to the Summary and related disclosure to the Subsequent Events Footnote on page F-20. * * * * The Company respectfully submits that the revised disclosure in the Registration Statement is appropriately responsive to the Staff’s comments. If the Staff has any further comments, please direct them to the undersigned. We appreciate your assistance in helping the Company to enhance the quality of the disclosure contained in its Registration Statement. Respectfully yours, /s/ Gregory A. Gould Gregory A.

General
1. Despite your response to prior comment one regarding the need to set a fixed price for the
shares being registered for resa le, the disclosure still indica tes that the selling security
holders will sell at prevailing ma rket prices. As indicated in our previous comment, Rule
415 does not permit you to do so. Revise thr oughout, including the registration statement
fee table, to indicate that all the shares in the offering will be offered at a fixed price of
$0.25 per share until the offering is completed.
2. We note that Mr. Wiegand has received 100,000 shares of company stock in 2005 for “services” to the company. We also note your asse rtion that he is not be ing paid directly or

indirectly for his participa tion in the offering. Howeve r, your executive compensation
disclosure does not disclose any compensati on paid or accrued for Mr. Weigand for 2004,
2005, or 2006. Please revise accordingly.
3. As indicated by our previous comment 1, we believe the offering is a primary offering on
behalf of the company with th e selling security holders de emed to be underwriters.
Therefore, Mr. Wiegand and the rest of the sell ing security holders are not permitted to sell
their shares on a delayed basis. Therefore, remove those shares from the registration
statement unless all shares are offered on a con tinuous basis. Please al so note that if Mr.
Wiegand will be selling his shares contemporan eously with the shares he is selling on
behalf of the company further di sclosure will be necessary to clarify how decisions will be
made as to which shares will be sold. Please revise accordingly.
Prospectus Cover Page
4. Revise the cover page so that it is cl ear that you are conducting a minimum/maximum
offering and indicate the date the offering will end and whether there are any minimum
purchase requirements. Disclose the price to the public for the securities on both a per share
basis and based on the total minimum and tota l maximum amount of the offering. See Item
501(a)(9)(iii) and (iv) of Regulation S-B.

Dear Mr. Wiegand:
We have primarily limited our reviewed of your filing to the structur e of your offering and
have the following comments. Where indicated , we think you should revise your document in
response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our
comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessar y. Please be as detailed as necessary in your
explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may
better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may raise additional
comments.
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance
with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the ove rall disclosure in your filing.
We look forward to working with you in these re spects. We welcome any questions you may have
about our comments or any other aspect of our re view. Feel free to call us at the telephone
numbers listed at the end of this letter.
General
1. We note that you are registering all of the company’s currently outstanding shares for
resale. We further note that affiliates ar e selling over 60% of the company’s currently
outstanding shares. As a result, it appears th at this offering is a primary offering by the
company, rather than a secondary offering of shares for resale. Revise the registration statement to fix the offering price of the shares being sold by the selling shareholders for the
duration of the offering (because the company is not permitted to conduct an “at the market
James B. Wiegand
Rosewind Corporation

offering” under Rule 415) and identify all th e selling shareholders as underwriters (as
opposed to them “may” being consid ered underwriters – page 11).
2. We note Mr. Wiegand’s past business experience has been primarily with blank check and
development stage companies. Based upon th e limited detail of the company’s business
plan, it appears that the comp any is a blank check company. Revise the offering to comply
with the requirements of Rule 419 of Regulati on C. In the alternative, provide a detailed
analysis in your response letter why this offering should not be governed by Rule 419 and
substantially revise you r disclosure to discuss company’s business plan with a detailed
analysis of how the company plans on genera ting revenues and paying its expenses over the
next 12 months.
Risk Factors, page 5
3. Add risk factors highligh ting the illiquid nature of an investment in the company; the lack
of revenues to date; the added costs involve d with becoming a reporting company; and the
potential for conflicts of inte rest involving only one direct or/officer managing the company.
Plan of Distribution, page 10
Current Market for our Shares, page 10
4. Your disclosure incorrectly implies that the company file s a Form 15c211 to have its
securities “listed” on the OTC Bulletin Board. Please correct to indicate that a market
maker must file the Form 15c211 and whether the company has had any discussions with a
market maker to do so. In addition, clarify that securities are approved for quotation, not
listed, on the OTC Bulletin Board.
5. Clarify that your company’s shares “will” (as opposed to “may”) be considered a penny stock.
6. On page 11, you indicate that shares in th is offering will be sold “primarily” by Mr.
Wiegand. With Rule 3(a)4-1 in mind, explain who else is permitted to sell the company’s
shares in this offering.
7. Explain how Mr. Wiegand will determine whether to sell the company’s shares or his own in this offering.

reasonably detailed business plan for your operati ons including,
• A timeline for your expected operations and potential for growth beyond training
only two students at a time;
• A detailed discussion of your expected ma rketing costs, upgrade costs, operational

You may wish to provide us with marked copies of the amendment to exped ite our review. Please
furnish a cover letter with your amendment that ke ys your responses to ou r comments and provides

We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in
the filing to be certain that the filing includes al l information required under the Securities Act of

decision. Since the company and its management are in possession of a ll facts relating to a
company’s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they
have made.
Notwithstanding our comments, in the event the company requests acceleration of the
effective date of the pending registration statement, it should furnish a letter, at the time of such
request, acknowledging that:
should the Commission or the staff, acting pursua nt to delegated authority, declare the filing
effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring
