Report this content

Frisco, Texas, March 31, 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 today provided an investor update regarding the Company’s expected reporting timeline for its annual report for the year ending December 31, 2013.

On August 1, 2013 the Company's Board of Directors engaged Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC ("Sadler") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2013. Prior to that, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm was Sam Kan & Company (“SKC”). On March 5, 2014, the Company received a letter from the Securities & Exchange Commission advising that SKC has lost the privilege of appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant, effective February 20, 2014. This means that SKC is unable to re-issue the Company’s 2012 audited financial statements (or any other public company’s financials on or after February 20, 2014). As a consequence, the Company is required to have its 2012 financial statements re-audited by Sadler, along with audit of the 2013 financial statements.

“Having to re-audit our 2012 financial statements with our new auditors at short notice means a slight delay in reporting our annual results and we are intensively working on completing those for filing in the next couple of weeks or so,” said Julian Ross, OxySure’s CEO. “We appreciate the patience of our investors and other stakeholders in this regard.”
