Is Vystar, a Previous Client (2016) and Incubator, About to Make a Comeback!
First this…we’ve known management for over 20 years.
But we are just now studying this. While “very interesting” isn’t an often used, or official ranking on Wall Street, that’s the best way we can describe it. To their credit they never dissapeared or ceased operating. They kept up with their financials, so they had an easy time gathering and presenting all the documents needed to get ‘re-listed’ on the OTC Market, in April of 2025.
Without going into the boring details, we work with a lot of ‘re-startups’ and we can assure you the amount of time and money required to get relisted (versus starting from scratch) is impressive (daunting) and whoever decides to go through the process has to be damn sure it’s all going to be worth it. We know the management team extremely well, and in short, if they think it’s worth it — we believe it’s worth it.
Also be conscious of this. It doesn’t really trade yet, and their ‘post-relisting’ market trading can be best described as sporadic. We’re not sure who is trading it, but would probably guess it’s friends, family and decades old shareholders from the Boston area, where the Rotman family had deep ties into the local community – having run a successful 60 year old retail business, that everyone knew of. They are a ‘famous’ family.
A quick look showed they paid off their legacy debt, have 19 million shares out, with a float of about 11 million. 100 for 1 reverse split in 2022. No insiders have sold in the last five years.
We’d look at an investment (speculation) into something like this, akin to investing in a venture capital company. To be clear, we’re not saying investing into a venture capital ‘stage’ portfolio company, but rather into a venture capital company itself.
So the assignment, if you choose to accept, is to study the four companies in it’s portfolio. And then come to some conclusion at least one (your choice), has a chance of making it big. In the interim, if the stock trades down 50% on 2,000 shares we won’t be depressed. On the other hand if it trades up 50% on 2,000 shares we won’t be celebrating.

Our last big incubator discovery (Circle Group – 2002) went from $0.25 to $9.00. We are not interested in trading this.
Our ultimate goal (dream) with this, and with most incubators, is that they sell one of their portfolio companies for hundreds of millions or they ‘spin-off’ one of their portfolio companies into a separate public company and it goes on to be worth hundreds of millions. And then they parent company benefits by owning a big slug of the successful unit, subsidiary – or whatever you want to call it.
So at this point Watch List really means ‘study’ list. And there is a lot of interesting things to study. While they were engineering their comeback they developed stakes (incubator) in four companies:
Vytex, an industrial latex company.
RXAir, an industrial medical grade air purification company. They’ve sold 20,000 residential and 400 hospital units.
FEC, Fluid Energy Conversion – Hughes Reactor, a licensable technology which powers RXAir.
Project GP. This is a ‘secret hoping to launch’ project, related to tokenizing real-world collectibles (like art) on the blockchain.
Call it a comeback, or call it ‘back from the grave.’ Only time will tell what ‘back’ means. Something seems to be brewing. We spoke to management and their “comeback” enthusiasm, was as about as high as we’ve heard.
That’s all for now. If we like what we read about the one or all of the projects, we’ll work with them again, and have detailed writeups on all of the companies under their umbrella.
