Change in Certifying Accountants Form 8 K

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

(a)

Although BFBorgers CPA PC ("BFBorgers") was recently engaged as Vystar Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm as of February 20, 2024, the Company was promptly required to dismiss BF Borgers as its independent registered public accounting firm effective May 3, 2024. On such date, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") issued an order reporting that it had settled administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against BF Borgers, and its sole audit partner, Benjamin F. Borgers CPA, permanently barring BF Borgers and Mr. Borgers from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant.

BFBorgers did not provide any accounting services to the Company prior to its dismissal, and thus, such engagement and dismissal has no effect on the Company's financial statements, and BFBorgers did not, and had not opportunity to, provide an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has advised that, in lieu of obtaining a letter from BF Borgers stating whether or not it agrees with the statements herein, the Company may indicate that BF Borgers is not currently permitted to appear or practice before the SEC for reasons described in the SEC's Order Instituting Public Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 4C and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 102(e) of the Commission's Rules of Practice, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order, dated May 3, 2024.

(b)

Effective June 4, 2024, the Company re-engaged Marcias Gini & O'Connell, LLP ("MGO") as its independent public accounting firm. MGO had previously resigned on December 6, 2023.

During the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period, MGO was the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. Further, during the Company's two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim period, the Company and MGO did not discuss any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.
