Re:
Comment Letter dated December 21, 2022; File No. 001-37649
In
response to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) letter dated February 2, 2023, Minim, Inc. (the “Company”
or “we”) provides the below responses to each of the SEC’s comments.
Form
10-K/A for the Year Ended December 31, 2021
Item
9A Controls and Procedures
Managements
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, page 35
SEC
Comment 1: We note your response to prior comment 1. Please respond to us to explicitly state whether your internal controls
over financial reporting are effective or not effective at December 31, 2021, in accordance with Item 308(a)(3) of Regulation
S-K.
Company
Response 1: Management has determined that internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2021.
In the Form 10-K/A, we stated “the Company did not have properly designed internal controls over financial reporting to account
for inventory transactions.” Going forward, if the Company does not have effective controls over financial reporting, we will
state that the controls are “not effective.”
Form
10-Q for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2022
Item
4. Controls and Procedures, page 22
SEC
Comment 2: We note your response to prior comment 2, however we do not believe your response completely responds to our comment.
It is not clear how you determined your disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting were effective
at September 30, 2022, in light of the previously disclosed material weaknesses. Please clearly explain to us the circumstances and
changes that lead to effective controls at September 30, 2022 despite the disclosure that remediation of your material weaknesses
has not yet been completed.
Company
Response 2: The Company’s management assesses that disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial
reporting were not effective as of September 30, 2022 as it pertained to the inventory deficiency identified as of December 31, 2021.
The Company had implemented controls to remediate the deficiency. As of September 30, 2022, the remediating controls did not have
sufficient period of time to validate that the controls were operating effectively.
Form
8-K furnished November 10, 2022
Exhibit
99.1, page 7
SEC
Comment 3: We note your response to prior comment 3 that the adjustment “GAAP sales net to revenue bookings” in your
Adjusted EBITDA measure is required in the calculation of your debt covenants. However, we note that you currently do not present or
discuss your debt covenants in your MD&A section. We believe that in order to use the exception in Item 10(e)(5) of Regulation
S-K you would need to conclude that the covenant was material enough to be required to be disclosed within your Form 10-K such as
within your MD&A section, and you would also need to include the disclosures indicated in Question 102.09 of the Non-GAAP

Company
Response 3: The Company has determined that prospectively it will exclude the GAAP sales net to revenue bookings in its filings and
incorporate adjusted EBITDA into its MD&A within its 10Ks and 10Qs.
SEC
Comment 4: Your response to prior comment 6 indicates that you believe the events are non-recurring as a result of the material weaknesses
and related errors. However, the inventory costing error corrected your inventory balances as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022,
and presumably inventory costs going forward would be based on appropriate inventory balances. We do not believe it would be appropriate
to adjust the margin or net income amounts to reflect what would have been the amount had the errors not been corrected. Additionally,
we continue to have concerns about the adjustment related to the inventory reserves for one product. We continue to believe that this
adjustment is not consistent with the guidance in Question 100.01 of the Staff’s C&DI on Non-GAAP Financial Measures as we
believe this type of inventory write-off or provision represents normal charges incurred by businesses. Please revise to remove these
adjustments from your non-GAAP financial measures in future filings. We further note that you may disclose the impact of the error and
the inventory provision by separately identifying and quantifying the amounts in footnote or other disclosure, without adjusting the
gross margin or net income measure. Please revise accordingly.
Company
Response 4: We agree with the staff that the Company will remove an adjusted gross margin or net income related to these inventory
adjustments in prospective filings.
If
the staff has further comments, please let me know.

Dear Dustin Tacker:
We have reviewed your January 11, 2023 response to our comment letter 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 these comments within ten business days by providing the requested

comments apply to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing your response to these comments, we may have additional

your debt covenants. However, we note that you currently do not present or discuss your
debt covenants in your MD&A section. We believe that in order to use the exception in
Item 10(e)(5) of Regulation S-K you would need to conclude that the covenant was
material enough to be required to be disclosed within your Form 10-K such as within your
MD&A section, and you would also need to include the disclosures indicated in Question
102.09 of the Non-GAAP Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations. Please revise or
advise accordingly.

Re:
Comment Letter dated December 21, 2022; File No. 001-37649
In
response to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) letter dated December 21, 2022, Minim, Inc. (the “Company”
or “we”) provides the below responses to each of the SEC’s comments.
Form
10-K/A for the Year Ended December 31, 2021
Item
9A Controls and Procedures
Managements
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, page 35
SEC
Comment 1: Please revise to explicitly state whether your internal controls over financial reporting are effective or not effective
in accordance with Item 308(a)(3) of Regulation S-K.
Company
Response 1: In the second paragraph under “Management’s Report on Disclosure
Controls and Procedures” included in Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,”
of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021,
the Company states that the Company’s management has “…concluded that
due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting,
described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end
of the period covered by this report…” The “Management’s Report
on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” included in Item 9A then specifically
describes the deficiencies relating to the internal controls over financial reporting.
We
agree with the staff that the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section of that
Item 9A does not explicitly state that the internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of the end of the specified
period. However, based on the explicit statement to that effect under “Management Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures”
and the specific description of the material weaknesses under “Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting,”
we believe that conclusion is readily apparent to investors. In future annual report filings, the Company will include within each
of “Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures” and “Management’s Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting” a specific statement that management has determined that the relevant controls were either
“effective” or “not effective.”
Form
10-Q for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2022
Item
4. Controls and Procedures, page 22
SEC
Comment 2: We note that you have concluded that your disclosure controls and procedures were
effective at September 30, 2022. Given that your disclosure controls and procedures, and
your internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at December 31, 2021,
and the remediation of the material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting
is not yet complete, please tell us how you determined your disclosure controls and procedures
to be effective in both the March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 quarters. In this regard,
we also note that you concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective
in the June 30, 2022 quarter. Please advise or revise accordingly.
Company
Response 2: With respect to the report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company states in the second paragraph
that the Company’s management has “…concluded that due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal
controls over financial reporting, described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the
period covered by this report...” We then proceeded with the description of the material weaknesses in the subsequent paragraph.
With
respect to the Company’s report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we note that Item 4 of the Form 10-Q
requires furnishing information required by Items 307 and 308(c) of Regulation S-K. Item 307 requires a disclosure of the conclusions
of the principal executive and principal financial officers regarding the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls
and procedures at the end of the period covered by the report. Item 308(c) requires disclosing any changes in the registrant’s
internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the registrant’s
last fiscal quarter.
The
Company believes the disclosures in Item 4 of the Company’s report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 22 provide
the disclosures required by Items 307 and 308(c) of Regulation S-K. In response to Item 307, that disclosure states: “Based
upon the evaluation and other than as disclosed herein, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.” In response to Item
308(c), that disclosure describes the material weaknesses which existed as of December 31, 2021 which the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer had determined, as described in Item 9A of the Company’s report on Form 10-K(A) for the
year ended December 31, 2021, could result in the Company incorrectly reporting its inventory and the specific steps which the Company
has taken during 2022 (including during the third quarter of 2022) to remediate those material weaknesses.
Form
8-K furnished November 10, 2022
Exhibit
99.1, page 7
SEC
Comment 3: Please provide further detail on the nature of the adjustment “GAAP sales
net to revenue bookings” and tell us why you believe it is an appropriate adjustment
to Adjusted EBITDA under the guidance in Reg G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.
Company
Response 3: The term “GAAP sales net” refers to the “net sales” stated
in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as prepared in accordance with
GAAP. As described under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in Exhibit 99.1 to the
Company’s Form 8-K furnished on November 10, 2022, the Company calculates and
reports its “Adjusted EBITDA” in accordance with the Company’s Loan and
Security Agreement, as amended, with Silicon Valley Bank. That agreement defines “Adjusted
EBITDA” to include, among other adjustments to “Net Income” as determined
in accordance with GAAP, an addition for “any increase in Deferred Revenue from the
immediately preceding quarter” and a deduction for “any decrease in Deferred
Revenue from the immediately preceding quarter.”
Within
the Company’s specific industry, our competitors sell the software stand-alone, with recurring monthly charges for renewals,
while the Company provides its software to customers at a fixed, one-time fee which includes deferred revenue which is then subsequently
adjusted in the calculation of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for each quarterly period. We therefore believe the adjustment
for deferred revenue used in calculating Adjusted EBITDA improves comparison to our competitors, who have a different revenue recognition
model.
2
SEC
Comment 4: We note that the reconciliation on pages 7 and 8 refers to EBITDA as “GAAP
Based” with Adjusted EBITDA referred to as “Non-GAAP Based.” As EBITDA is
a non-GAAP measure, please revise to retitle this measure to avoid referring to it as a GAAP
based measure. Your narrative on page 2 should be revised to include all the disclosures
required by Item 10(e)(1)(i) of Regulation S-K for both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
Company
Response 4: We agree with the staff that both “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA”
are non-GAAP terms, and the Company’s future filings will therefore not refer to either
“EBITDA” or “Adjusted EBITDA” as “GAAP Based”. Furthermore,
because our Loan and Security Agreement uses the term “Adjusted EBITDA,” and
not “EBITDA,” and we believe investors are more interested in our Adjusted EBITDA
rather than EBITDA, our future filings will include a calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, rather
than EBITDA, with a reconciliation showing all adjustments to GAAP net income used in calculating
Adjusted EBITDA.
Furthermore,
all of our future filings and press releases which contain references to Adjusted EBITDA will contain a disclosure similar to that
which appeared under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Report on Form 8-K referenced
above and which reads as follows (with a further statement that the Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA in accordance with its loan
agreement):
“In
addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”),
this news release [report] contains the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as GAAP net income (loss) plus
depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets, other (expense) income, net, income tax provision, material one-time
expenses and income, and stock-based compensation expenses, and Revenue Bookings, which we define as GAAP Revenue, which was $13.8
million for Q3 2022, plus the change in deferred revenue recorded within the financial reporting period being disclosed, which amounted
to $0.2 million for Q3 2022.
We
use these non-GAAP financial measures in internal forecasts and models when establishing internal operating budgets, supplementing
the financial results and forecasts reported to our Board of Directors, and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends
in our operations. We believe that these measures provide an enhanced understanding of our underlying operational measures to manage
the business, to evaluate performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals.
Minim
believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors and analysts in comparing its performance across reporting
periods on a consistent basis.
These
non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance
with GAAP. These financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
We expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the financial adjustments described above and investors should not infer from
our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.”
SEC
Comment 5: In a related matter, please note that EBITDA, by definition, should only reflect
adjustments for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Either remove the other income
from your calculation of EBITDA or revise to include the adjustment in your Adjusted EBITDA
calculation instead. Refer to Question 103.01 of the SEC’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations
on Non-GAAP Financial Measure for further
guidance.
Company
Response 5: We agree with the staff’s comment as to the definition of “EBITDA.” However, for the reasons described
in the response to Comment 4 above, the Company intends to state, and provide reconciliations to GAAP net income, for only Adjusted
EBITDA, and not EBITDA, in future filings.
3
As
the Company believes is fairly customary for purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company intends to continue to include
adjustments for “other income (expense)” as those respective amounts are reported in the Company’s GAAP statements
of operations. We note that those amounts are generally not significant (namely, $24 thousand in the 2021 reported periods and $0
in the 2022 reported) periods and are generally not reflective of the Company’s normal operations.
SEC
Comment 6: We note that in the Q3 2022 Financial Updates section at the top of your earnings
release, you disclose gross margin before inventory reserves and net loss before inventory
costing errors. As inventory provisions and write-offs are cost of sales items, and are typically
recurring costs that are based on a variety of factors, tell us how you considered the guidance
in Question 100.01 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation
and why you believe excluding these expenses from Non-GAAP performance measures is appropriate.
Additionally, please note that when you present a measure such as these, they should be titled
as Non-GAAP measures and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure.
Company
Response 6: On reflection, we agree with the staff’s comment that the adjusted gross
margin should have been labeled as “Non-GAAP.” We will correct this in future
filings by noting it is a non-GAAP measure and providing the reconciliation to the GAAP measure.
In
relation to Question 100.01, we believe that the nature of events that created the reported errors and the reserve are non-recurring.
The Company’s financial history has not incurred such events of such magnitude, nor do we anticipate these events to occur
in the future. As described in the “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” sections
of Item 9A of the Company’s’ report on Form 10-K/A for the year ende

Dear Mr. Sprigel and Mr. Kisner:
This letter is in response to the comments made by the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in its correspondence dated July 9, 2013 (the “Comment Letter”) to Zoom Telephonics, Inc. (the “Company”) with respect to the filings referenced above.
Set forth below are the Company’s responses to the comments in the Comment Letter. For your convenience, we have repeated your comments in bold.

Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2013
Results of Operations, page 13
1. We note your response to comment two from our letter dated June 24, 2013. In your proposed future disclosure you have stated your general inventory reserve policy, but you have not specifically addressed how you considered the decrease in sales in your inventory valuation for obsolete and slow moving products. Please revise.
Response
Zoom did consider the decrease in sales from Q1 2012 and Q4 2012 to Q1 2013 in determining the proper inventory valuation for obsolete and slow moving products. Zoom’s net sales decreased $1.16 million from Q1 2012 to Q1 2013, with the majority of the decrease due to a decline in sales of cable modems. Zoom’s net sales decreased $630 thousand from Q4 2012 to Q1 2013, with Zoom’s cable modem sales dropping $640 thousand and no other product category dropping by more than $25 thousand. The decrease in cable modem sales from both Q1 2012 and Q4 2012 to Q1 2013 was due to decreases in sales in two cable modem product categories. On March 31, 2013 Zoom had 2.3 months of inventory for one of the two categories and 2.5 months of inventory for the second of the two categories, based on sales in Q1 2013. Zoom determined not to take an inventory reserve for either of these two cable modem product categories as of March 31, 2013, as the comparison of sales to inventory for these two products showed that recording an inventory reserve for obsolete and slow moving cable modem products was not warranted.
Zoom Telephonics, Inc., 207 South Street, Boston, MA 02111
Tel: 617.423.1072 Fax: 617.753.0923 www.zoomtel.com
We will revise future filings to include the following disclosure and where appropriate will include additional specifics to support Zoom’s inventory valuation:
“Zoom determines its inventory reserves for obsolete and slow moving products by reviewing for each Zoom product its past and forecast sales, open sales orders, inventory levels, planned product changes, and anticipated price drops. Zoom takes a reserve if this data suggests that Zoom is likely to need to sell a product's inventory below its current inventory valuation in order to sell all of that product's inventory within the next 12 months.

●
the company 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
●
