Marketwired - Thu Apr 23, 7:28AM CDT
Vystar Corp. (OTC PINK: VYST) posted financial results for the 12 months ended December 31, 2014 that included increased revenue and decreased loss. "2014 was a year of cleaning up and rebuilding to position Vystar for the future," stated William Doyle, CEO of Vystar. "We had a small increase in year over year revenue and decreased our loss with the closure of our unprofitable SleepHealth division and the sell off of the SleepHealth assets. We took the opportunity to refocus our efforts in the sleep industry and brought in a new medical director in 2014 who is helping us turn our Kiron Clinical Sleep Lab division around. In addition, we settled three litigation suits, reduced convertible debt by 23 percent and made substantial progress on new product research and development that has positioned Vystar for strategic entry into several new markets. We're already seeing the benefits of the steps we took in 2014 that are translating to improved financial performance in 2015."
