THE MIRACLEFEET MODEL IS DESIGNED FOR SUSTAINABILITY BY WORKING CLOSELY WITH MINISTRIES OF HEALTH AND PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEMS, WITH A LONG-TERM GOAL OF TRANSITIONING PROGRAMS OVER TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. 0 0 3611462 1959959 TREATMENT AND TRAINING: THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR, MIRACLEFEET AND OUR PARTNERS ENROLLED OVER 8,500 NEW CHILDREN IN CLUBFOOT TREATMENT. IN PARALLEL, WE CONTINUED TREATMENT FOR AN ADDITIONAL 14,700 CHILDREN ENROLLED IN PREVIOUS YEARS, AND OUR REACH GREW TO 27 TOTAL COUNTRIES AND 189 CLINICS. THIS BRINGS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CHILDREN ENROLLED IN TREATMENT TO OVER 39,000 SINCE THE ORGANIZATION'S FOUNDING IN 2010. MIRACLEFEET CONTINUED TO WORK IN LIBERIA, GUATEMALA, THE PHILIPPINES, NICARAGUA, ECUADOR, PARAGUAY, BOLIVIA, SRI LANKA, BRAZIL, TANZANIA, ZIMBABWE, MYANMAR, NEPAL, VIETNAM, THE REPUBLIC OF CONGO, UGANDA, SENEGAL, CAMBODIA, INDIA, MADAGASCAR, INDONESIA, GUINEA AND BANGLADESH - WHILE ADDING PROGRAMS IN NIGERIA, MALI, THE GAMBIA, AND SOMALIA. 100% OF THE TREATMENT IS PROVIDED BY MIRACLEFEET'S LOCAL PARTNERS, PRIMARILY IN PUBLIC OR CHARITABLE HOSPITALS THAT PROVIDE CARE TO LOW-INCOME AND UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS. ALL MIRACLEFEET PARTNERS USE THE GOLD-STANDARD, NON-SURGICAL PONSETI METHOD OF TREATMENT. MIRACLEFEET FUNDS ARE USED TO PROVIDE MEDICAL SUPPLIES, ESPECIALLY FOOT ABDUCTION BRACES; CLINIC ASSISTANTS TO PROVIDE FOLLOW-UP AND PARENT EDUCATION; CAMPAIGNS TO EDUCATE THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND HEALTHCARE COMMUNITY ABOUT CLUBFOOT AND THE AVAILABILITY OF TREATMENT; AND ADVOCACY TO ENCOURAGE PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEMS TO INTEGRATE CLUBFOOT MANAGEMENT INTO THEIR SERVICE OFFERINGS. ALL MIRACLEFEET PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO ENSURE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY BY WORKING CLOSELY WITH LOCAL MINISTRIES OF HEALTH, PUBLIC HOSPITALS AND LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS COMMITTED TO CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND PREVENTION OF DISABILITY. SINCE BRACING IS SUCH A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE COST STRUCTURE AND SUCCESS OF TREATMENT, MIRACLEFEET PARTNERED WITH THE STANFORD UNIVERSITY DESIGN SCHOOL, SUNCAST, AND CLARKS SHOES TO DEVELOP A LOW-COST, EASY-TO-USE BRACE THAT CAN BE PRODUCED EASILY AT SCALE AS THE NEED FOR BRACES GROWS IN LOW-INCOME COUNTRIES. IN THE PAST FISCAL YEAR, MIRACLEFEET SHIPPED NEARLY 16,000 PAIRS OF SHOES AND OVER 8,000 BARS (BRACE COMPONENTS) TO 18 COUNTRIES. TRAINING IS CRITICAL FOR ATTAINING CONSISTENT QUALITY AND LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY. MIRACLEFEET HAS ADOPTED THE GLOBAL CLUBFOOT INITIATIVE'S AFRICA CLUBFOOT TRAINING PROGRAM (ACT) AS OUR STANDARD TRAINING CURRICULUM AND HELD TRAINING-OF-TRAINER COURSES IN ECUADOR AND MOROCCO FOR PROVIDERS IN LATIN AMERICA AND FRANCOPHONE AFRICA, RESPECTIVELY. IN TOTAL, 21 NEW TRAINERS DELIVERED PONSETI TRAINING TO OVER 500 NEW PROVIDERS GLOBALLY, WITH OVER 225 PROVIDERS RECEIVING ADVANCED OR REFRESHER TRAINING, GREATLY EXPANDING THE CAPACITY OF LOCAL HEALTH SYSTEMS TO DELIVER QUALITY CLUBFOOT CARE. 348155 2399 INNOVATION: MIRACLEFEET IS WORKING TO PROVIDE LOW-COST TOOLS FOR ALL ORGANIZATIONS AND HOSPITALS SEEKING TO ADDRESS UNTREATED CLUBFOOT. THIS INCLUDES A SUITE OF E-TOOLS TO MAKE DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS AT THE CLINIC LEVEL EASIER; TO INTEGRATE SMS INTO THE CLINIC MANAGEMENT PLATFORM, ENABLING CLINICS TO BETTER COMMUNICATE WITH FAMILIES; AND E-LEARNING MODULES TO MAKE TRAINING MORE EFFICIENT, ACCESSIBLE, AND EFFECTIVE.

THE E-LEARNING MODULES ARE BEING DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OPENPEDIATRICS, GLOBAL CLUBFOOT INITIATIVE, AND THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD, AND WILL BE COMPLETED IN THE NEXT YEAR. FINALLY, THE NEW RESULTS OF A TWO-YEAR STUDY, USING SENSORS IN INDIA, SHOW THE MIRACLEFEET BRACE PERFORMED AS WELL AS THE LOCALLY PRODUCED BRACE, RESULTING IN NO RELAPSES, AND MEETING ALL EXPECTED STANDARDS FOR A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE CLUBFOOT BRACE. 3959617 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 13 0 1 20 1 0 1 UK 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 11 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 AL AR CA CT FL GA HI IL KS KY MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WV WI X X MEREDITH DRISCOLL 9192405572 107 CONNER DRIVE NO 230 CHAPEL HILL NC 27514 CHESCA COLLOREDO-MANSFELD EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 152812 0 8235 MARK PAVAO BOARD CHAIR 4.00 X X 0 0 0 HANS DEKKER SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JARRET FASS TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BRIDGET RYAN BERMAN FOUNDING BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROGER BERMAN FOUNDING BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MICHELLE COOPER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOSH HYMAN FOUNDING BD MBR, MED ADVSRY BD CHAIR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KUNAL PREMNARAYEN BOARD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE SADOVE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ARO EIDE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUE EITEL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 AMRIT RAY BOARD MEMBER (UNTIL 11/2018) 1.00 X 0 0 0 MEREDITH DRISCOLL DIRECTOR OF FINANCE & OPERATIONS 40.00 X 82167 0 687 234979 0 8922 1 0 1 0 MCDERMOTT WILL & EMERY LLP 340 MADISON AVENUE NEW YORK NY 10173 LEGAL SERVICES 195086 1 7668366 169780 7668366 18271 18271 148323 149172 -849 -849 -849 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 560 560 560 7686348 0 0 17982 1962358 1962358 273692 84800 110472 78420 723393 418175 66515 238703 56037 28686 9158 18193 83032 41883 14426 26723 86223 19798 58505 7920 62035 16764 36889 8382 64453 64453 385199 354531 1 30667 43838 33959 3728 6151 21285 11956 3058 6271 65573 32614 11212 21747 208725 181578 3447 23700 12973 7835 1912 3226 645915 592444 27036 26435 20179 12629 6184 1366 PROGRAM TECH DEVELOPMEN 147671 147671 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 33224 2327 5451 25446 MISCELLANEOUS 5465 3784 1002 679 OFFICE EQUIPMENT 4914 2444 840 1630 6797 3381 1162 2254 4912981 3959617 360998 592366 174076 765568 1494207 2491886 3093212 3542233 940 84472 46935 76861 23797 189594 173511 78522 119035 94989 226630 0 35436 4952202 7507669 71587 43415 189728 261315 43415 X 1196447 3396278 3494440 4067976 4690887 7464254 4952202 7507669 2773367 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2349283 4479886 4479704 3472119 7668366 22449358 2349283 4479886 4479704 3472119 7668366 22449358 10450279 11999079 2297 88 191 7393 18271 28240 1121 560 1681 22479279 0.53380 0.42920 X 83353 47205 36148 90158 31317 58841 94989 X 7752407 78590 23489 102079 7650328 36020 36020 7686348 4993234 78590 38675 117265 4875969 37012 37012 4912981 PART X, LINE 2: FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2019, MIRACLEFEET HAS DOCUMENTED ITS CONSIDERATION OF FASB ASC 740-10, INCOME TAXES, THAT PROVIDES GUIDANCE FOR REPORTING UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES AND HAS DETERMINED THAT NO MATERIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS QUALIFY FOR EITHER RECOGNITION OR DISCLOSURE IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
