About RxAir

RxAir promotes a healthy lifestyle through the use of its innovative, patented ViraTech air purification technology, thereby improving the quality of life of each and every customer. Independently tested by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") certified laboratories, the RxAir has been proven to destroy greater than 99% of bacteria and viruses and reduce concentrations of odors and volatile organic compounds ("VOCs"). The RxAir uses high-intensity germicidal UV lamps that destroy bacteria and viruses instead of just trapping them, setting it apart from ordinary air filtration units. RxAir® and ViraTech® are registered trademarks of Vystar Corp. For more information, visit http://www.RxAir.com.

The Company's RxAir product line use 48 inches of high-intensity germicidal UV lamps that destroy bacteria, viruses and other germs instead of just trapping them, setting it apart from ordinary air filtration units. RxAir is one of the few UV air purifiers that have been proven in independent EPA- and FDA- certified testing laboratories to destroy on the first pass 99.6% of harmful airborne viruses and bacteria. In addition to inactivating airborne viruses that cause influenza (flu) and colds, RxAir's device disarms the airborne pathogens that cause MRSA (staph), strep (whooping cough), tuberculosis (TB), measles, pneumonia and a myriad of other antibiotic-resistant and viral infections.

Vystar produces the RxAir product line with a world-class manufacturer and an expert U.S. engineer with a full understanding of the RxAir technology. Vystar sells RxAir residential and commercial units via distributors, online and through retail channels. Vystar has assembled a distribution network for sales of the RX400™ FDA cleared Class II Filterless Air Purifier. Vystar also sells the ViraTech replacement cartridge for approximately 25,000 units that have been previously sold. The RX3000™ Commercial FDA cleared Class II Air Purifier, our largest unit, is currently not in production. We have produced a sample size of the RX800™ FDA cleared Class II Filterless Air Purifier and they are currently in the testing stage. We have a prototype for the RX300, which will be renamed RX600, and are exploring production options. The Company also hopes to have an even smaller unit designed during 2026 for automobiles and refrigerators with USB charging. Tariffs by the U.S. government may impact future production.

About Vytex

Vytex is a multi-patented latex raw material in which the allergy causing proteins are reduced to a level that falls at or below detection based on ASTM approved test methods. Vytex has been available as a raw material commercially for fourteen years and through that time has a group of manufacturers who use it in end products such as electrical gloves, condoms, adhesives, etc. Ironically, most use Vytex as it's better for their manufacturing process as an easier to use raw material and not for protein properties. As of mid-2020 Vystar and the Indian Rubber Manufacturers Research Association's ("IRMRA") had been actively collaborating to develop viscoelastic deproteinized natural rubber (DPNR) variants having properties for expanding applications in specific new arenas such as green tires, biodegradable and other unique bioelastoplast product lines that desire a new approach. Additionally, this research, while slowed by the COVID-19 pandemic, showed attributes with extra low ammonia offerings that are desired.

Towards the end of 2020, Vystar entered into a Market Development and Distribution Agreement with Corrie MacColl, Ltd. ("CMC Global") to produce, develop and manage the Vytex product and supply lines. This agreement allows Vystar to expand the market for its Natural Rubber Latex products and has garnered much attention across a broad range of industries including liquid Vytex as well as the newly developed dry rubber Vytex. As of the date of this report, CMC Global has provided numerous opportunities that are in a trial basis or moving towards manufacturing trials in industries that use a significant amount of natural rubber latex, hence Vytex that now includes production size trial runs in a large dipped product consumer line starting late 2022. Additionally Vystar now has a testing supply of Vytex dry rubber for larger trials. The success of early trials and the shipping crisis has led to broader spectrum of manufacturers combining the potential of Cameroon production with strategically placed contract manufacturers based on geographical needs including the North American market. Also, Vystar research has shown great strides in specializing liquid Vytex (ultra-low protein latex, ULPL) to meet the immediate needs of customers such as low or no nitrosamine and others (discussed in the presentation below available in the pdf) and additional patents have been proposed to cover these findings. Research into dry rubber continues at a moderate pace as tire companies seek out alternatives to synthetics.

In Halcyon Agri (owner of CMC Global), 2020 Corporate Report: "Our group-wide innovation capabilities have enabled us to engage in innovative commercial partnerships. Corrie MacColl is collaborating with Vystar to transform our Cameroon plantation output into ultra-pure latex with stronger molecular bond that offers enhanced strength, durability, and flexibility in the end products. This is achieved by removing non-rubber components and 99.85% of the proteins." CMC Global continues to work with the facility at Cameroon to produce Vytex at their owned processing plant.

Vytex researcher Dr. Ranjit Matthan and CMC Global Director John Heath presented at The International Latex Conference which was held virtually July 20 to 22, 2021 and offered a plenary session entitled "Innovations and Sustainability in Natural Rubber Latex - The New Paradigm." The presentation discussed the dramatic effect the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the natural rubber supply chain, and how the industry is reacting the new economic circumstances, including strategy and policy shifts in supply chain management and restoring greater geographic diversification of latex processing and product manufacturing. The R&D association with IRMRA promises quicker laboratory and field-based testing and evaluations downstream. At Vystar, the recalibrated sustainability program (FSC, nitrosamines & ammonia free, ultralow proteins, no SVHC and green carbon neutrality) emphasize certifications with Corrie MacColl market reach facilitating faster rollouts. Nontraditional/non Hevea brasiliensis based production efforts are likely to continue to face new penetration and high cost-benefit acceptance challenges in this decade. A PDF of the full presentation is available on vytex.com.

Additionally, in August 2021, Dr. Matthan presented new data to the Automotive Tyre Manufacturers' Association including Vytex dry rubber.

In July 2025, the Company unveiled a newly redesigned website, www.vytex.com, as part of a comprehensive brand refresh aimed at improving customer interaction and enhancing digital presence. This initiative aligns with our strategy to provide a more engaging and user-friendly experience for our customers.

About FEC

Vystar is looking to Fluid Energy as it moves forward in its quest for a cleaner and safer environment. The Company is planning to improve its air purifying by using the ultrasonic technology of Fluid Energy and combining it with its leading UV-C technology. The designs and prototypes are in development. This ultrasonic technology is applied into water products with the same goal. We have working prototypes for our water product targets that have tested beyond expectation for bacterial killing and flow metering. We will begin soon evaluating our ability to eradicate hard water pollution that fouls pools, fountains, and pumps. These products will move us toward living more safely and cleanly in our environment.

In May 2025, Vystar announced final testing for the RxAir prototype, integrating the cutting-edge Fluid Energy conversion technology with the Hughes Reactor. This advancement, developed by Dr. Bryan Stone, who serves on Vystar's board, represents a significant leap in innovation for the Company. We expect testing to be completed by the end of 2026. Due to the fluctuations of tariffs by the U.S. government and cash flows, we expect production in late 2027.

Other Matters

We are monitoring current developments in trade policy and tariff actions by the U.S. government, including imports from China and baseline tariffs on most imports from most other countries. These tariffs could adversely impact our growth and cost of products sold.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $6,147 and $12,657, respectively, for a decrease of $6,510 or 51.4%. The decrease in revenues was due in part to reduced channel sales. The Company will be reviewing its pricing and sales strategies in the second and third quarter of 2026.

The Company reported gross profit of $4,272 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to gross profit of $4,307 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $35 or 0.8%.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $1,875 and $8,350, respectively, a decrease of $6,475 or 77.5%. The decrease is primarily due to reduced channel costs.

Operating Expenses

The Company's operating expenses consist primarily of share-based compensation and other general and administrative costs, including professional fees related to accounting, finance, and legal services as well as rent and other operating expenses. The Company's operating expenses were $281,122 and $342,277 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $61,155 or 17.9%. The net decrease was partly attributable to the decrease of legal fees of approximately $19,000.

Other Expense

Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $87,929 and $200,312, respectively, a decrease of $112,383 or 56.1%. The decrease was due to reduced amortization of debt discount on related party debt in 2026 and the nonrecurring loss on settlement of debt, net of $79,846 in 2025.

Discontinued Operations

There was no loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Net Loss

Net loss was $364,779 and $538,282 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $173,503 or 32.2%. The overall decrease is attributable to reduced operating expenses and other expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, we have incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow since inception. At March 31, 2026, the Company had cash of $9,907 and a deficit in working capital of approximately $7 million. Further, at March 31, 2026, the accumulated deficit amounted to approximately $61.7 million. We use working capital to finance our ongoing operations, and since those operations do not currently cover all of our operating costs, managing working capital is essential to our Company's future success. Because of this history of losses and financial condition, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

A successful transition to profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining sufficient financing to fund the Company's planned expenses and achieving a level of revenue adequate to support the Company's cost structure.

Management plans to finance future operations using cash on hand, as well as growing existing product lines from RxAir air purifier sales and Vytex license fees. The Company will also raise capital with common stock subscription issuances and is exploring merger and acquisition opportunities.

There can be no assurances that we will be able to achieve projected levels of revenue in 2026 and beyond. If we are not able to achieve projected revenue and obtain alternate additional financing of equity or debt, we would need to significantly curtail or reorient operations during 2026, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business objectives, and as a result, may require the Company to file bankruptcy or cease operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts classified as liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be forced to take any such actions.

Our future expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including: the rate at which we can introduce RxAir products and license Vytex NRL raw material and the foam cores made from Vytex to manufacturers and subsequently retailers; the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights, along with market acceptance of our products, and services and competing technological developments. As we expand our activities and operations, our cash requirements are expected to increase at a rate consistent with revenue growth after we achieve sustained revenue generation.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Net cash used in operating activities was $41,047 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $86,042 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash used in operations was primarily due to the net loss offset non-cash related add-backs of share-based compensation expense, depreciation, and amortization.

There were no cash flows provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $46,500 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $121,580 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash was provided by advances from stock subscription payable of $40,000 and proceeds from related party advances of $6,500. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash was provided by advances from stock subscription payable of $145,000 and used in the repayment of related party term debt of $14,626 and repayment of related party advances of $8,794.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that may be reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations.
