Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended Dec.
31, 2015
Filed March 14, 2016
File No. 000-55442
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are in receipt of the comments of the
staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) provided by a letter dated December 13, 2016. The
comment letter relates to the above-referenced Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2015 (the “10-K”)
as filed by Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”).
For your convenience, each staff comment
is presented below in italics, with the Company’s response immediately following in regular type.
General
1. Please file the License and Services Agreement dated October 27, 2014 between Ekso and OttoBock to which you refer in your
response letter. If this agreement has been previously filed, please tell us when and include this agreement in any future exhibit
index.
The Company has not previously filed the
License and Services Agreement between the Company and OttoBock Healthcare Product GmbH (“OttoBock”) dated October
27, 2014 (the “OttoBock Agreement”) because the Company does not deem it to be a material agreement as defined
in Item 601 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Specifically, the Company does not believe that the
OttoBock Agreement is material to the Company because the license of intellectual property only permits OttoBock to practice the
Company’s patents and know-how in the limited field of medical prosthetics products which replace missing human limbs. The
Company has no intention of practicing in such field, and accordingly the exclusive out-license of intellectual property in such
field does not limit the Company’s ability to pursue its business plans and is therefore not material to the Company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that the Company were to receive material compensation from OttoBock under the OttoBock Agreement,
the Company understands that the OttoBock Agreement would then be considered to be a material agreement and would be required to
be filed as an exhibit to its reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. To date, the Company has not received
any royalties under the OttoBock Agreement. The only compensation that has been received by the Company under the OttoBock Agreement
consists of an exclusivity fee equal to $250,000 paid on the effective date of the OttoBock Agreement and an annual exclusivity
fee equal to $100,000 on each of the first and second anniversaries of the effective date. The Company is also entitled to an exclusivity
fee equal to $150,000 on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the effective date of the OttoBock Agreement. In the event
that the Company begins receiving royalties under the Agreement, it will reevaluate the materiality of the OttoBock Agreement and
file it as an exhibit if it is determined to be a material agreement at that point. In addition, the Company agrees to annually
reevaluate the materiality of the OttoBock Agreement generally in light of any changes in the Company’s planned uses of its
intellectual property.

This appears to be a transaction unrelated to existing segments. Please tell us how this transaction affected your 2016 first quarter results. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company sold 25 Ekso Aerial devices at cost to one customer for the purpose of demonstrating their commercial viability (“demonstration units”). As a result of the sale, the Company recorded $135,000 in revenue, which represented 1.68% of the Company’s total revenue related to medical devices for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, and a 0% gross margin. Beginning with the Company’s Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2016, the Company is reporting Industrial Sales as a segment due to its growing materiality and relevance.

Please describe, and include in future filings, the nature of the licensing revenue you receive from Lockheed Martin Corporation and OttoBock Healthcare Product GmbH. With respect to Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed”), the Company receives revenue pursuant to the Government Field Cross License Agreement dated as of July 1, 2013 between Ekso Bionics, Inc. and Lockheed and the Cross License Agreement dated as of July 1, 2013 between Ekso Bionics, Inc. and Lockheed, and previously pursuant to a License Agreement dated January 8, 2009, which was terminated effected as of July 1, 2013. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company has licensed to Lockheed certain rights with respect to its anthropomorphic exoskeleton technology for which Lockheed is obligated to pay Ekso Bionics, Inc. a royalty on sales of products incorporating such technology. The payments are described as exclusivity, technology transfer, and license fees. Royalty fees from Lockheed were di minimus for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015. Other revenue received from Lockheed in those years related to engineering services. With respect to OttoBock Healthcare Product GmbH (“OttoBock”), the Company received exclusivity payments pursuant to the License and Services Agreement dated October 27, 2014. The License and Services Agreement grants OttoBock exclusive rights in order to develop a semi active prosthetic knee prototype for use in medical prosthetics and provides that OttoBock will pay the Company a royalty based on sales by OttoBock of products incorporating the licensed technology. Royalty fees from Ottobock were $250,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014 and $100,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015. Definitive Proxy on Schedule 14A Equity Awards, page 18 3.

Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance November 28, 2016 Page 3 The Company omitted the tabular disclosure required by Item 402(d) of Regulation S-K because it is an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, and as such, elected to follow the scaled disclosure provisions under Section 102 thereof, which allow the Company to comply with Item 402 by disclosing the same information as an issuer that is a “smaller reporting company.” A registrant that qualifies as a “smaller reporting company,” may provide the scaled disclosure in paragraphs (m) through (r) instead of paragraphs (a) through (k) and (s) of Item 402 of Regulation S-K. * * * The Company acknowledges that it is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of its disclosure, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff.

On behalf of our client, Ekso Bionics Holdings,

Respectfully, the Company does not find
a requirement in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or rules promulgated thereunder to
amend its Schedule TO to include interim financial statements filed after the filing of the Schedule TO. Nevertheless, in response
to the Staff’s comment, upon the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the interim period ended September 30, 2014
(the “Form 10-Q”) on or about November 12, 2014, the Company will further amend the Amended Schedule TO to incorporate
the third quarter 2014 financial statements into Item 10 of the Schedule TO and to file the Form 10-Q as an exhibit to the Amended
Schedule TO. The Company also will mail a copy of the Form 10-Q to the holders of Original Warrants together with a supplemental
information letter, the form of which is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(G) to the Amended Schedule TO (the “Supplemental Letter”).
2. Please include all required financial information as
specified in Item 10 of Schedule TO and corresponding Item 1010 of Regulation M-A. In this regard, it does not appear that Item
1010(a)(3) has been included. Please revise or advise.
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company will revise
the Schedule TO to include the financial information specified in Item 1010(a)(3).
Exhibit (a)(1)(B) - Offer to Amend and Exercise
General
3. We note that the offer to amend and exercise is set
to expire at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on November 20, 2014. Accordingly, the offer is open for less than 20 full business days due
to the 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time expiration instead of an expiration time of midnight Eastern Time on the twentieth business day following
commencement. Refer to Exchange Act Rule 13e-4(a)(3). Please revise throughout your document as necessary, so that the offer will
be open at least through midnight Eastern Time on the twentieth business day.
In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company will revise the Schedule TO to provide that all references to the Expiration Date of the Offer to Amend and Exercise
in the Schedule TO and exhibits thereto means 9:00 p.m. Pacific Time (midnight Eastern Time) on November 20, 2014, which change
will also be identified in the Supplemental Letter mailed to Original Warrant holders.
Section 6. Conditions to the Offer to Amend and Exercise,
page 31
4. We note that a condition to the offer is the completion
of the Accredited Investor Questionnaire by the holders of Original Warrants. It appears, therefore, that the offer is limited
to persons who are accredited investors. Please provide an analysis as to how limiting the offer to persons who are accredited
investors complies with Exchange Act Rule 13e-4(f)(8)(i), which requires that the offer be open to all security holders.

The Company issued the Original Warrants
in private placement transactions, the closings of which occurred on January 15, 2014, January 29, 2014 and February 6, 2014, in
reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities
Act”) inasmuch as these previous private placement transactions occurred without any form of general solicitation or
general advertising. The holders of the Original Warrants previously represented to the Company that they were “accredited
investors” in connection with the transactions in which such holders acquired the Original Warrants. As such, the Company
anticipates that the holders of the Original Warrants will continue to qualify as accredited investors, unless their status has
changed since their prior transactions with the Company in early 2014.
As discussed in response to Comment
6 below, the Company intends to rely on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder
and will continue to require the holders of the Original Warrants to complete an accredited investor questionnaire, although the
holders will not be required to be accredited investors in order to participate in the Offer to Amend and Exercise. The Company
and its legal counsel will review accredited investor questionnaires as they are received through the Expiration Date. In the event
that the Company receives a completed accredited investor questionnaire from any holder of Original Warrants that desires to participate
in the Offer to Amend and Exercise indicating that such holder is no longer an accredited investor, the Company will, prior to
the Expiration Date, extend the Expiration Date of the Offer to Amend and Exercise and file as part of a subsequent amendment to
its Schedule TO and distribute to all holders of Original Warrants supplemental disclosure which includes all of the information
required by Rule 502 of Regulation D. In such a circumstance the Company will further extend the Expiration Date of the Offer to
Amend and Exercise to the extent required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and
the rules promulgated thereunder. See our response to Comment 9 regarding our procedures for extending the Expiration Date of the
Offer to Amend and Exercise.
5. We
note your statement that the company “will not accept any Election to Consent, Participate and Exercise Warrant from
or on behalf of any Original Warrant holders if the Company determines that a valid securities exemption is not available
under the Securities Act.” This statement suggests that the offer is limited to holders of Original Warrants who are
accredited investors. However, it is possible that the current holders of Original Warrants may not consist entirely of
accredited investors. Please revise the offer document and accompanying transmittal materials to clarify that the offer is
not limited to accredited investors or advise consistent with our prior comment.
In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company will revise the Schedule TO to clarify that while the Company requires that holders of Original Warrants complete an
accredited investor questionnaire, holders of Original Warrants will not be required to be accredited investors in order to participate
in the Offer to Amend and Exercise. This also will be clarified in the Supplemental Letter mailed to Original Warrant holders.

The Amended Schedule TO will also provide
that, in the event that the Company receives a completed accredited investor questionnaire from any holder of Original Warrants
that desires to participate in the Offer to Amend and Exercise indicating that such holder is no longer an accredited investor,
the Company will, prior to the Expiration Date (as the same may be extended by the Company in accordance with the Exchange Act
and the rules promulgated thereunder), file as part of a subsequent amendment to its Schedule TO and distribute to all holders
of Original Warrants supplemental disclosure which includes all of the information required by Rule 502 of Regulation D. In such
a circumstance, the Company will extend the Expiration Date of the Offer to Amend and Exercise to the extent required under the
Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. See our response to Comment 9 regarding our procedures for extending the Expiration
Date of the Offer to Amend and Exercise.
6. Assuming the offer is open to all holders as required
by Rule 13e-4(f)(8)(i), please advise us of the exemption from registration upon which you are relying and indicate how you intend
to comply with the provisions of any such exemption.
The Company intends to rely on Section 4(a)(2)
of the Securities Act, and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder, as an exemption for its offer to amend the Original Warrants. The
Company has implemented the Offer to Amend and Exercise without any form of general solicitation or general advertising. Additionally,
as provided in the Schedule TO, the Company will continue to require the holders of Original Warrants to complete an accredited
investor questionnaire, although the holders will not be required to be an accredited investor in order to participate in the Offer
to Amend and Exercise.
The Company and its legal counsel will review
accredited investor questionnaires as they are received through the Expiration Date. As provided in response to Comments 4 and
5 above, in the event that the Company receives a completed accredited investor questionnaire from any holder of Original Warrants
that desires to participate in the Offer to Amend and Exercise indicating that such holder is no longer an accredited investor,
the Company will, prior to the Expiration Date, file as part of a subsequent amendment to its Schedule TO and distribute to all
holders of Original Warrants supplemental disclosure which includes all of the information required by Rule 502 of Regulation D,
thereby satisfying the requirements of Rule 506(b) in the event any of the eligible warrant holders have ceased to be accredited
investors within the meaning of Rule 501 under Regulation D. In the event that the Company distributes such supplemental
disclosure it will extend the Expiration Date of the Offer to Amend and Exercise to the extent required under the Exchange Act
and the rules promulgated thereunder. See our response to Comment 9 regarding our procedures for extending the Expiration Date
of the Offer to Amend and Exercise.
As stated above, based on their prior representations,
the Company anticipates that each of the holders of the Original Warrants are accredited investors, and that the Offer to Amended
and Exercise will qualify for an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation
D promulgated thereunder.
7. Please supplementally advise us of whether the composition
of warrant holders (number and accredited status) is approximately the same as at the time of the original issuance and if not,
how the composition of warrant holders has changed.
Securities and Exchange Commission
Division of Corporation Finance
November 10, 2014
Page 5
The composition of holders of Original Warrants
in terms of numbers is approximately the same as at the time of the original issuance. Specifically, of the 210 unique holders
of Original Warrants, all of whom previously represented to the Company that they were “accredited investors” in connection
with the 2014 transactions in which such holders acquired the Original Warrants, five holders of Original Warrants have transferred
their Original Warrants in private transactions as of the date of this letter, and several of the transferees in such private transactions
were affiliates of the transferring holders. Based on their representations of accredited investor status within the last year,
the Company anticipates that each holder of Original Warrants remains an accredited investor.
8. We note your disclosure that “we are not making
this Offer to Amend and Exercise to, nor will we accept any Election to Consent, Participate and Exercise Warrant from or on behalf
of, Original Warrant holders in any jurisdiction in which the Offer to Amend and Exercise or the exercise of the Amended Warrants
would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction.” Please explain to us how limiting participation in this manner
is consistent with Rule 13e-4(f)(8)(i). If the company is attempting to rely on Exchange Act Rule 13e-4(f)(9)(ii), we note that
Rule 13e-4(f)(9)(ii) is restricted to state law, and that the disclosure does not appear to track the language of that rule. For
guidance, refer to Exchange Act Release No. 34-58597, Section II.G.1 (September 19, 2008).
The Company hereby confirms that by “any
jurisdiction” it is referring to restrictions under state law as provided under Rule 13e-4(f)(9)(ii). The Company has revised
the Schedule TO accordingly.
Section 7. Extension of Offer to Amend and Exercise Period,
page 31
9. Please
disclose how the offer could be extended as required by Item 1004(a)(1)(v) of Regulation M-A. In that regard, please address the
timing of any notice of an extension. Refer to Exchange Act Rule 14e-1(d).
In response to the Staff’s
comment, the Company will revise the Schedule TO to specify the timing of any notice of an extension consistent with Exchange Act
Rule 14d-1(d), which information will also be included in the Supplemental Letter mailed to Original Warrant holders.

The Company acknowledges that it is responsible
for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Schedule TO, that staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to
staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Schedule TO, and that the Company 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.
Please feel free to contact the undersigned
at 617-439-2477 if you have any question relating to the Schedule TO or this letter.

We note that the registration statement covers the resale of securities that you issued in a private placement while you were still a shell company , as that term is defined in our rules. As a result, your transaction appears to be an “at the market” primary offering of equity securities by or on behalf of the registrant under Rule 415(a)(4) of Regulation C. Because you do not qualify to conduct a primary offering “at the market,” please revise the terms of your offering to provide that all offers and sales will be made at a disclosed fixed price for the duration of the offering, resales will be made on a pro mpt and continuous basis, and the selling shareholders will be identified as underwriters. If you do not believe the registration statement covers the resale of shell company shares , please explain why. See generally SEC Release No 33 -8869 (2007).

Re:
Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc.
Form 8-K
Filed January 23, 2014
File No. 333-181229
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of our client, Ekso Bionics
Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), set forth below is the response of the Company to the comments of
the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) provided by a letter dated February 19,
2014. The comment letter relates to the Company’s Form 8-K filed January 23, 2014 (the “Form
8-K”).
As described in more detail below, the Company
anticipates revising the Form 8-K to address many of the staff’s comments. The Company also expects to file its transition
report as an amendment to its Current Report on Form 8-K on or before March 31, 2014 to include audited financial statements for
Ekso Bionics, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Amendment”). The Company believes that the changes to
the Form 8-K will not be so material as to warrant an immediate amendment of the Form 8-K and respectfully requests that the staff
permit the Company to incorporate the staff’s comments into the Amendment to be filed on or before March 31, 2014.
For your convenience, each staff comment
is presented below in italics, with the Company’s response immediately following in regular type. Capitalized terms not otherwise
defined in this letter have the meanings ascribed to them in the Form 8-K.
General
1. You state on page 72 that in connection with the reverse merger you changed your fiscal year from March 31 to December 31
and that “The report covering the transition period will be filed on Form 10-K as of and for the transition period ended
September 30, 2013.” Please clarify why you believe a transition report is required and for what period. Since you state
that the fiscal year will now be December 31, that of the accounting acquirer, it would appear necessary that a Form 8-K/A that
includes audited financial statements for Ekso Bionics, Inc. (the accounting acquirer) for the year ended December 31, 2013 be
filed in order to avoid a lapse in reporting period.

As noted above, the Company now intends
to file its transition report as an amendment to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 23, 2014, which Amendment
will be filed on or before March 31, 2014. The Amendment will include audited financial statements for Ekso Bionics, Inc. for the
year ended December 31, 2013.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets,
page 4
Description of Business, page 11
General
2. We note your risk factor “[t]he disruption or loss of relationships with vendors and suppliers for the components
of [y]our products could materially adversely affect . . .” on page 29. Please discuss in greater detail in your Description
of Business section the sources of raw materials and, if applicable, the names of principal suppliers used in connection with your
manufacturing of exoskeletons. Refer to Item 101(h)(4)(v) of Regulation S-K. Please also disclose the materials necessary to manufacture
your products. Further, please disclose whether you have entered into an agreement with any supplier, and, if so, tell us what
consideration you have given to filing any agreement with a supplier as an exhibit to the Form 8-K. Refer to Item 601(b)(10) of
Regulation S-K.
Most of the raw materials used to manufacture the
Ekso are sourced in the San Francisco Bay Area and consist of machined components, batteries, printed circuit boards and cables.
The materials used are primarily aluminum, titanium, stainless steel and carbon fiber. These raw materials are readily available,
and the Company is not dependent on any principal supplier. The Company has not entered into any material agreements with any of
its suppliers that would be required to be filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K.
In the Amendment and in future filings, if applicable,
the Company will expand its discussion under “Ekso Bionics’ Medical Technology” to address sources and availability
of raw materials and will make appropriate revisions to the risk factor regarding disruption or loss of relationships with vendors
and suppliers.
3. We note your disclosure on page 45 regarding research and development costs. Please provide the disclosure required by Item
101(h)(4)(x) of Regulation S-K with respect to research and development costs incurred by Ekso Bionics, Inc. in the past two fiscal
years in your Description of Business section discussion.
The Company engages in research and development
in an effort to enhance the effectiveness, ease of use, safety and reliability of its medical, commercial, and
strength-enhancing exoskeletons and to expand the applications for its products. The Company’s research and development
expenditures were $4.3 million and $3.2 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, as part of its engineering
services, which are paid for by grant funding, by collaboration partners, or by engineering services customers, the Company
generated engineering services revenue for which it incurred additional research and development costs. Such cost of
engineering services amounted to $1.8 million and $1.3 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company will expand its discussion of its research and development costs in the
Amendment and in future filings, if applicable.
Overview, page 12
4. We note your disclosure on page 12 that you “have sold over 40 devices to rehabilitation centers and individual users
for rehabilitation since February 2012” and that “Ekso Bionics is at a key point in the growth of its business.”
Please briefly disclose here your history of losses to date and your furloughing of employees in July 2013.
The Company will revise the third paragraph of the
section entitled “Description of Business – Overview” in the Amendment to provide as follows:
“We believe the Company is at a key point in
the growth of its business. From inception to September 2013, Ekso Bionics has accumulated over $35.0 million of losses and in
July 2013 furloughed 30 of its 71 employees in order to extend operations to the end of 2013. In January 2014, the Company completed
the Merger and PPO, resulting in $30.3 million in gross proceeds. With the additional capital resulting from the Merger and PPO,
the Company believes that it now has the resources to further penetrate the medical market and to begin to penetrate the military
and industrial markets over the next several years.”
The Technology, page 13
5. We note your disclosure on page 14 regarding “the potential to generate licensing revenue in fields outside [y]our
present areas of commercialization.” Please revise your disclosure to specify whether or not you have generated any licensing
revenue either within or outside your present areas of commercialization, and if so, please state the amount of revenue generated
to date.
The Company has not generated any licensing revenue
in fields outside of the present areas of commercialization through December 31, 2013. The Company will revise the disclosure regarding
licensing revenue in the Amendment and in future filings, if applicable, to reflect this fact.
6. Please expand your disclosure to explain the distinction between and nature of “issued,” “in prosecution”
and “provisional” patents.
The Company will expand its disclosure in the Amendment
and in future filings, if applicable, to clarify that “issued” patents refers to patents that have been granted, patents
“in prosecution” refers to patents where a complete application has been filed with the applicable patent authority
and additional action is pending, and “provisional” patent applications refers to a short form application that is
filed to establish an early filing date in anticipation of completion and submission of a complete application.

Medical Market Strategy, page 15
7. Please revise your disclosure to include an approximate timeframe for when your initial and second “go-to-market”
strategies were first implemented.
The Company’s initial go-to-market strategy
began in the first quarter of 2012. The Company initiated its second, and current, go-to-market strategy in July 2013. The Company
will revise its disclosure to include these dates in the Amendment and in future filings, if applicable.
Potential Market for our Medical Products, page 16
8. Please supplementally provide us with the basis for your estimates of “300 SCI centers” and “approximately
3,000 hospitals” in Europe.
In estimating the size of the potential market, the
Company looked at both (a) the number of incidences for SCI and Stroke across Europe and (b) the number of centers/hospitals. Given
the Company’s current sales and marketing focus on driving adoption at rehabilitation and related centers, the Company focused
its description in the 8-K filing on the number of centers/hospitals as it estimates them to be.
For its estimate of SCI centers and of hospitals
in Europe, the Company took the estimated number of centers/hospital in those countries where data was readily available to it
and calculated estimates for countries where the data was not readily available based on population and then totaled these figures.
Separate and apart from these calculations, a presentation by Paul Garassus, M.D., the Vice President of the French Health Economic
Society and member of the European Private Hospitals Union, at the World of Health IT Conference in 2010 reported that there are
approximately 12,000 private and public hospitals, of which an estimated 4,600 are classified as acute care facilities. (Source: http://www.worldofhealthit.org/sessionhandouts/documents/PS21-4-Garassus.pdf)
Competition, page 20
9. Please expand your discussion to describe your company’s competitive position in the exoskeleton industry and how
your company effectively competes as a manufacturer and designer. Please also revise your disclosure to describe in more detail
the challenges faced by your company.
Securities and Exchange Commission
Division of Corporation Finance
March 5, 2014
Page 5
The various technologies that compete with the Company’s
technology represent therapeutic interventions with utility at varying points of the continuum of care. Clinically, the Ekso is
unique in its broad ability to mobilize pre- or even non-ambulatory patients using a full weight bearing, over ground, task-based
platform. From a practice management perspective, the Ekso is less expensive than many other systems, has a smaller footprint,
the ability to move around the hospital, and uses standard power requirements that make it easy to integrate into existing infrastructure.
In addition, the Ekso’s design accommodates patients with complete paraplegia, and also includes features that are optimized
to assist therapists in helping patients with some motor ability learn to walk again in a clinical setting.
On the other hand, certain of our competitors are
better capitalized, have benefited from a first-mover advantage, and offer their products at a lower price.
As noted in the Form 8-K, the field of robotic
exoskeleton technology remains in its infancy, and it is impossible to predict all of the competitive pressures that will be
faced by the Company. Further, the Company believes that its biggest challenge is not necessarily from competitive
technologies, but rather achieving market awareness and adoption of our technology while acclimating prospective customers to
a fundamentally new paradigm in neuro-rehabilitation and mobility, as well as addressing funding issues encountered by
prospective customers. As such, the Company respectfully submits that the disclosure in the “Competition” section
of the Form 8-K sufficiently describes the Company’s competitive position.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, page 37
10. Regarding your contract with USSOCOM awarded in December 2013. Please revise to disclose a description of each milestone
and its related contingent consideration as required by AS 605-28-50-2b. To the extent that you consider the aggregation of the
four milestones in your disclosure to be meaningful to investors, in lieu of the requirement to disclose each such milestone, please
revise your disclosure to:
· Disclose the nature of payment triggering events underlying each milestone included in the aggregated categories you disclose,
and
· Separately disclose the nature and related contingent consideration for any individual milestone that is significant. To
the extent you do not believe any of the individual milestones in the agreement is significant please demonstrate to us why not.
The contract with USSOCOM is a fixed price contract.
There is no contingent consideration.
The statement of work describes four milestones divided
into tasks and sub-tasks, with required accomplishments and progress payments associated with each milestone. Each milestone must
be successfully accomplished and verified in order to receive payment and proceed to the next sub-task. The first four milestones
relate to the development and delivery of a functional prototype exoskeleton device that significantly reduces the load on users
while introducing a negligible metabolic impact and meets other specifications set forth in the agreement. Payments for these milestones
are $150,000, $200,000, $250,000 and $250,000 for each of the first four milestones, respectively. The final task of the project
relates to the submission of a report summarizing testing results and a recommended path forward for which the payment is $146,000.
This is the first award granted under USSOCOM's TALOS (Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit) project.
Securities and Exchange Commission
Division of Corporation Finance
March 5, 2014
Page 6
The Company will revise the disclosure in the Description
of Business, Exoskeleton Technology for Able-Bodied Applications section of the Form 8-K, to more fully explain the milestones
and related payments. The Company, respectfully, does not believe further disclosure of the USSOCOM contract is needed in Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of the Form 8-K because there is no revenue from this contract related to 2013. However, once there is
revenue generated in a reporting period under the USSOCOM contract, disclosure of the progress and related revenue will be added
to Management’s Discussion and Analysis as appropriate.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources, page

11. In light of your disclosure on page 45 regarding efforts in 2013 to reduce your cash burn rate and your disclosure on pages
46 and 47 regarding management’s belief of sufficient capital for operations “through the middle of 2015” and
“for at least the next 18 months” respectively, please disclose your monthly cash burn rate.
The Company estimates its current monthly operating
expenses, including direct labor and overhead, to be approximately $950,000. The Company updates its projected cash needs regularly
to address changes in its business plans. The Company will update this information in its discussion of financial condition, liquidity
and capital resources in the Amendment and further filings, as applicable, using the most current available information.
12. Your liquidity discussion does not provide detailed explanations of the reasons for changes in operating cash flows. Please
revise to disclose the reasons for the changes in operating assets and liabilities, specifically addressing the significant increases
