OxySure (OXYS) Announces Corporate Update
FRISCO, TX -- (Marketwired – July 30, 2014) – OxySure Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: OXYS), (“OxySure,” or the “Company”), the medical device innovator of life-saving easy-to-use emergency oxygen solutions with its “oxygen from powder” technology, announced today the release of a corporate update as presented by OxySure's CEO Julian Ross.
Mr. Ross began the update by stating, "This corporate update serves to provide shareholders with an update on our progress so far in 2014, and a sense of some of the initiatives we are focused on for the remainder of the year. Let me begin with the fundamentals. We believe we have maintained our momentum from 2013 and the remarkable revenue growth and bottom line improvement from that year, into 2014. We have done so in spite of the impact of the government sequester and product improvements we have initiated in 1Q2014. We have continued our strong period over period growth in the first quarter of 2014, and we expect to continue that momentum into the second quarter. We reiterate that we have a clear focused plan for value creation -- short term, low risk pathway, a growing global footprint and world-class advisors.”
Our global footprint is growing and we continue to strengthen and expand our global distribution position, with discussions in progress in several countries including Thailand, Greece, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and China. We continue to believe that our oxygen from powder technology and related solutions represent the only solutions available in the world today to play a much needed role in improving outcomes in millions of medical emergencies. By making it possible for lay persons to administer medical oxygen during those first, critical minutes after a medical emergency, providing initial stabilization while waiting for professional first responders to arrive, improved outcomes have been observed in thousands of cases involving cardiac arrest, asthma exacerbations, COPD exacerbations, respiratory arrest, migraine attacks, allergy attacks, near drowning, poisoning/drug overdose, sports injuries, and a vast array of other minor and serious medical emergency categories.
On the capital markets side, we continue to expand our presence and outreach in the investment community, and have completed several roadshows in New York and Boston in recent months. We plan to continue to increase our participation in roadshows, investor events, and other investment and industry conferences, and we have several planned in the upcoming months.”

"We have recently announced events that are milestones in our mission to position our company as a platform for significant growth. These announcements include:
- We announced that we expanded to Hong Kong and Macau;
- We closed a $750,000 institutional private placement on attractive terms;
- We improved our balance sheet by reducing debt by nearly $1 million;
