PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

Z Trim Holdings, Inc. is an emerging growth company focused on the production, marketing and distribution of functional food ingredients and formulated foods for both domestic and international markets. The Company’s core product, Z Trim®, is a USDA-developed, all-natural, zero calorie functional food ingredient made from healthy dietary fiber. The Company has an extensive intellectual property portfolio, highlighted by an exclusive license from the USDA to make, use and sell Z Trim both domestically and internationally. Currently, corn and oats are used to make Z Trim, but it can be produced from virtually any other agricultural product. Current Z Trim products include gel and powder used to replace portions of fat, gums, starches and carbohydrates in foods. The Company’s core product portfolio of wellness foods and dietary fiber food ingredients includes corn Z Trim, non-GMO oat Z Trim, and functional emulsions and gels. The Company recently introduced finished products to its sales line, including salad dressings and mayonnaise. Z Trim is now being used by manufacturers, restaurants, schools, and consumers on 6 continents to replace as much as 80% of the fat and calories in foods without changing taste, texture, appearance or digestive properties in baked goods, dairy products, snacks, deserts, sauces, dressings, processed meats and many other foods.

After years of development, Z Trim is now commercialized. The Company currently manufactures and markets Z Trim products as competitive ingredients that improve the food industry's ability to deliver on its promises of healthier foods. The Company's primary goal is establishing Z Trim as an important ingredient in revolutionizing the food industry. The Company is developing its market through (i) direct sales to major food manufacturers, as well as small and mid size companies, (ii) direct sales to the consumer, and (iii) direct sales to large food institutions such as those that supply to restaurants, hospitals, schools and cafeterias. We have an aggressive plan to educate both the food industry and consumers about the uses and benefits of Z Trim products, and our R&D team, including strategic industry partners, continues to develop additional products.

Z Trim Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Illinois on May 5, 1994 under the original name Circle Group Entertainment Ltd. In 2007 we had four operating subsidiaries: FiberGel Technologies, Inc., thebraveway.com, Inc., operating as The Brave Way Training Systems, On-Line Bedding Corp., and Z-Amaize Technologies, Inc. The Company dissolved thebraveway.com, Inc., Z-Amaize Technologies, Inc., and On-Line Bedding Corp. in 2007.

Z Trim’s core products compete against fats, fat replacers, modified starches, gums, and similar ingredients. None of these other products functions identically to our products. Our business is part of the global $25-30 billion per year (2006) business of food additives. The global hydrocolloid business is a comparably minor $3.80 billion per year. Specifically, the U.S. fat replacer and bulk dietary fiber (supplement) markets are estimated to be $ 500 million each. The global business of hydrocolloids at large is intensely oligopolistic with few major players and the food sector market, although growing at 6.5%, is very competitive.

The Company protects an array of intangible assets that includes patents pending and issued, as well as a wide array of trade secrets and know-how, trademarks and copyrights. Central to this portfolio is an exclusive license to US Patent No. 5,766,662, including all related international patents, issued to Dr. George Inglett of the USDA. This license expires upon the expiration of the underlying patent in late 2015. Through the process of development and commercialization of the technology, the Company has identified and sought patent protection for improvements to the manufacturing process, product applications and is currently developing several commercially promising spin-off technologies. The Company also maintains a stable of trademarks that has continued to gain value through usage and increased brand recognition.

The Company has spent $14,325 in 2007 and $4,231 in 2006 for research and development expense over the last two years, and is still innovating toward developing value-added products to add to its core line.

Presently, the Company employs 26 full-time employees and no part-time employees.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

In 2007 we operated three reportable segments, food product development, defense product development, and e-tailer. The defense product development and e-tailer segments were dissolved by year end 2007.

Our management reviews the operating companies' income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Our operating companies' income for the reportable segments excludes income taxes and amortization of goodwill. Provision for income taxes is centrally managed at the corporate level and, accordingly, such items are not presented by segment since they are excluded from the measure of segment profitability reviewed by our management.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As a result of discontinued operations in 2007, we have broken out our financial reporting to show only those segments (Z Trim and FiberGel) which are a part of continuing operations. As such, what we report here as 2006 numbers will differ from the consolidated statements reported for year end 2006.

For financial data on the reportable segments, you should refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

We occupy approximately 44,000 square feet of leased space at 1011 Campus Drive, Mundelein, Illinois. This space is leased for $26,900 per month, including property taxes, pursuant to a non-cancelable operating lease. The current lease term is through 2010, and the Company is currently negotiating an extension. All of our subsidiaries and divisions are operated out of this space. We also maintain a 5,000 square foot warehouse at 110 Terrace, Mundelein, Illinois at a cost of $2,750 per month.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

As the Company previously reported, on November 29, 2007 the settlement agreement concerning the Company's litigation with Farhad Zaghi and related parties (collectively, "Zaghi") was deemed null and void by Zaghi.

The parties have since attended a court-ordered settlement conference, and all parties other than Greg Halpern (the Company's former CEO), who is negotiating a separate settlement on his own behalf, have reached a new settlement agreement. Whereas the old agreement had two components: (1) the Company would have an open-ended obligation to issue common stock to Zaghi until he realized proceeds of approximately $1.7 million from the sale of stock before the litigation would be dismissed, and (2) the issuance of approximately 2.26 million warrants, the new agreement requires only that a fixed number of shares and warrants be issued to Zaghi. Specifically, under the new settlement agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to a Zaghi affiliate and register for resale 3 million shares of the Company's common stock and a warrant to purchase an additional 2.5 million shares of the Company's common stock. The warrant is immediately exercisable, with a three-year term and a variable exercise price equal to the lowest twelve-trading-day average closing price of the Company's common stock during the period between the date of issuance of the warrant and the date of notice of exercise. The warrants were valued at $400,549 and are included in additional paid-in-capital. Under the new settlement agreement, the parties to the agreement have agreed to dismiss their cases without prejudice, and have exchanged covenants not to sue. The Company's registration obligation with respect to the settlement shares and the shares underlying the warrants is on a best-efforts basis, but because the registration was not effective by March 17, 2008, Zaghi has the right to terminate the agreement. The Company has already listed the shares with Amex, and filed a registration statement with the S.E.C. As soon as the S.E.C. approves the registration statement, the shares will become free-trading, and the parties will be obligated to dismiss the case.

On November 23, 2005, the Company entered into a Letter of Agreement ("LOA") with George Foreman Enterprises, Inc. ("GFME") pursuant to which both parties would form a new limited liability company for the purpose of promoting the Company's zero calorie fat replacement food ingredient, Z Trim®. The parties did not reach any definitive Agreement as is required by the LOA. On May 9, 2006, the Company filed a lawsuit alleging breach of the Parties' nondisclosure agreement and trade secret misappropriation in the Circuit Court of the 19th Judicial District, Lake County, Illinois seeking damages and injunctive relief against GFME. On August 3, 2006 the court, based upon a finding that the Company has demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits of the case, issued an order granting the Company a preliminary injunction enforcing the non-disclosure agreement between the parties. GFME subsequently appealed the preliminary injunction. The Appellate Court denied GFME’s appeal, and the injunctive order remains in place.

On July 17, 2006, George Foreman Enterprises, Inc. filed a complaint against Z Trim Holdings, Inc. in the U.S. District Court seeking damages in excess of $70,000,000 for specific performance, breach of contract, promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment. The basis for all such claims is the underlying LOA, set forth above. The Company received summary judgment in its favor as to the count seeking promissory estoppel. Further, on September 18, 2007, the Court issued a number of orders limiting the evidence that GFME may bring in support of its claims. Management believes that GFME’s allegations are frivolous and wholly without merit and will vigorously defend the claim. The trial date of February 2008 has been stricken, and reset for September 2008.

On March 20, 2007, the Company filed a patent infringement suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin seeking unspecified damages and equitable relief against a manufacturer of a competing product. On January 28, 2008, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendant, finding non-infringement, and in favor of the Company finding the patent valid and enforceable. The Company has filed a notice of appeal with respect to the Court’s finding of non-infringement.

On January 18, 2007, the Company was served with a complaint by Daniel Caravette for breach of contract and violation of the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act, seeking damages in excess of $1,000,000. Management believes that the allegations are frivolous and wholly without merit and will vigorously defend the claim. The case is set for trial in April 2008.

On July 7, 2007, the Company was served with a complaint by Joseph Sanfilippo and James Cluck for violation of the Consumer Fraud Act. Management believes that the allegations are frivolous and wholly without merit and will vigorously defend the claim.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

The Company held its annual shareholders’ meeting on December 19, 2007. At that time, the shareholders voted in a new slate of directors, as described more fully herein below at Item 6. The vote tabulation for each director was as follows:

Cumulative votes	Votes

FOR DIRECTORS	RECEIVED	AGAINST	ABST.	BROKER NON-VOTES
Steve Cohen	43,685,541	n/a	n/a	0
Triveni Shukla	43,184,327	n/a	n/a	0

Harvey Rosenfeld	63,212,578	n/a	n/a	0
Randal Hoff	63,213,978	n/a	n/a	0

Due to the use of cumulative voting, it is impossible to determine the number of votes against and the number of votes abstained.

The selection of Blackman Kallick, LLP as independent outside auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 was submitted to the stockholders for ratification in December 2007. There were 56,209,361 votes cast in favor, 146,443 votes cast against and 365,661 abstentions and broker non-votes, which vote was sufficient for approval of Blackman Kallick, LLP as independent accountants of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS INTENDED TO ASSIST IN UNDERSTANDING THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF Z TRIM HOLDINGS, INC. YOU SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION ALONG WITH OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS FORM 10-KSB. THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND ASSUMPTIONS. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS, PERFORMANCE AND ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2007 AND BEYOND MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED IN, OR IMPLIED BY, THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.

Z Trim currently sits in a position of tremendous opportunity. The food industry, not just in the United States, but also globally, has been searching for foods that reduce fat, add fiber, or both. Z Trim, through an exclusive license to technology patented by the United States Department of Agriculture, has developed products that both reduce fat and add fiber, with the added benefit of maintaining taste and mouth-feel associated with full fat products. The market for Z Trim's line of products spans the entire food industry, both low-fat and full fat, including meats, baked goods, dairy and non-dairy products, snacks, beverages, dressings, sauces and dips. This makes the likelihood of Z Trim achieving success very high. Positive feedback from consumers, doctors and industry professionals have Z Trim convinced that its timing is right and thus presents enormous opportunity for success.

The Z Trim product line is the result of the extensive research and development efforts spearheaded by Dr. Triveni Shukla. Pricing strategies for the various product lines are still being developed based on the various added-value attributes that our products provide to each segment of the food industry. The Company fully intends to seek and maintain protection for all intellectual property deemed by the Company to be both valuable and protectable.

One of the most exciting and significant recent events is our development of a new line of food ingredient products that provide additional functionality and value-added propositions to the food industry. Under the direction of renowned food scientist Dr. Triveni Shukla, our R & D team has developed a new product stream similar in function to certain gum products. Remarkably, this derives from an improvement to the Z Trim manufacturing process and is therefore a cost effective means of producing incremental revenue from the same incoming raw materials. In fact, this innovation will enable our plant to nearly triple production capacity of saleable products while driving down the unit cost of goods sold.

As our current facility is a prototype plant, being the first of its kind to produce our innovative products, we are constantly seeking ways to improve efficiencies and achieve economies of scale. We are currently re-designing the process to make use of newer drying technologies and thereby optimize plant capacity. In order to fully realize the potential of our business model, the Company will eventually need to move to a larger facility, enter into strategic partnerships, or find some other means to produce greater volumes of finished product.

Several major food manufacturers have tested the Company's initial product lines and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. The product is being used and touted in several school districts nationwide, and is gaining national recognition as a product that can help make foods healthier while still retaining great taste. We have reason to believe that a number of large companies will launch national product lines incorporating Z Trim products in the near future.

Additionally, the Company has launched its own retail line of salad dressings in four upscale grocery stores in the Chicago, Illinois area. These retail products have been very well received by buyers, and the Company is considering launching into more grocery chains in various geographic regions.

We have made a series of evolutionary changes to prepare for a steepening sales cycle in the months ahead. We are in the process of hiring a new sales manager, with years of specific industry experience, to work with our existing management team. We have created a number of internal committees that meet regularly to ensure that every aspect of our organization is on the same page with respect to production, financing, marketing and accounting issues. No material expenditures will be made without thoroughly considering all alternatives and reaching consensus on the best one.

RECENT MATERIAL DEVELOPMENTS

Resignation of Former CEO and Chairman

On August 20, 2007, Gregory J. Halpern resigned his positions of Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company, effective immediately. The Board of Directors forfeited Mr. Halpern’s stock options under the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. Mr. Halpern held options to purchase 2,848,182 shares as of August 19, 2007.

Management has taken steps to strengthen the Company with the implementation of several new policies, the addition of a number of employees in key areas, and several new board members with industry ties and experience. The Board has also appointed Steve Cohen to run the Company going forward. Implementing new policies and strengthening the Board and the staff are important for the Company’s growth; and by adding additional personnel to the sales, marketing, financial, and production areas of the Company, the Company has taken strong steps designed to improve its short-term and long-term future.

On November 9, 2007, the Board of Directors accepted David Lansky’s resignation from the Board. The Board appointed Michael Donahue to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Lansky’s departure, effective November 14, 2007. In connection with his service on the Board, Mr. Donahue received an option under the Company's 2004 Stock Equity Plan to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's common stock as of the date of Mr. Donahue’s acceptance of his appointment.

Annual Shareholder’s Meeting, Board of Directors and Bylaws Changes.

In December 2007, the Company held its Annual Shareholders’ meeting. The shareholders voted for a slate of seven directors: Steven Cohen, Triveni Shukla, Michael Donahue, Mark Hershhorn, Brian Israel, Randal Hoff and Harvey Rosenfeld. The following directors were not re-elected: Steven Salgan, Alan Orlowsky, Stanford Levin, and Dana Dabney.

On November 1, 2007, the Company announced that the Company’s board of directors amended the Company’s bylaws to include a procedure for nomination of candidates to the board of directors.

On November 14, 2007, the Company’s board of directors amended the Company’s bylaws to change the number of seats on the Board from eight to seven.

Internal Investigation and Status with Respect to Amex Listing Requirements

Background. On August 17, 2007, we received a deficiency letter from the American Stock Exchange (“Amex”) notifying us that the staff of the Amex had determined we were not in compliance with certain of Amex’ continued listing standards. The deficiencies (which are described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed August 23, 2007) included failure to report Section 16(a) filing delinquencies, failure of the board to subject a related party transaction to review by the Audit Committee, granting stock options in a manner contrary to our stock option plans, failure to properly account for stock option grants with exercise prices below fair market value on the date of grant, failure to provide certain information to Amex, and allowing internal control weaknesses to exist.

In response to the deficiency letter, we prepared and submitted to Amex a compliance plan outlining our proposal for regaining compliance with Amex’ continued listing standards and addressing the matters contained in the deficiency letter. The compliance plan was accepted by Amex on November 2, 2007 (as reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed November 5, 2007).

Internal Investigation. Pursuant to the compliance plan, we conducted an internal investigation relating to the primary issues of concern identified by Amex, principally including equity accounting and the related control environment. We engaged the independent accounting firm of Blackman Kallick, LLP (“Blackman”) to perform certain procedures to assist us with our internal investigation. The objective of Blackman’s engagement was to help us assess the financial reporting figures, processes, and internal controls related to our equity transactions for the period January 1, 2002 through June 30, 2007, and to make specific recommendations to strengthen the reporting and control environment. Blackman completed its investigation in early November 2007.

Some of the specific remedial actions our new management team has completed include the following:

·	We have implemented equity control policies and will seek to strengthen those policies.

·	Shareholders have elected new independent directors to our board.

·	Shareholders have elected new independent auditors (see Item 4 of this report).

·	We have invested in the implementation of additional and enhanced information technology systems commensurate with the needs of our business and our financial reporting requirements and have engaged an independent firm to advise us in this regard.

·	We have initiated a number of changes to our human resources policies and have engaged an independent firm to audit our human resources functions.

·	We have engaged a separate accounting firm to help us prepare for compliance with our upcoming Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance requirements.

·	We have applied (or reapply, as the case may be) with Amex to list the shares of common stock (and stock underlying warrants) issued by us without current Amex approval. Amex has since approved the listing of such shares.

We believe the measures described above have remediated the material weaknesses we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and to diligently review our financial reporting controls and procedures. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures described above.

Conclusion. On February 26, 2008, the Company received a letter from Amex in which Amex stated that the Company has resolved the continued listing deficiencies referenced in the Amex letter dated August 17, 2007. As is the case for all listed issuers, Z Trim Holdings' continued listing eligibility will be assessed on an ongoing basis. However, the threat of de-listing resulting from the notification of non-compliance on August 17, 2007 no longer exists.

Restatements

On October 31, 2007, the Company determined that its financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 should no longer be relied upon because of accounting errors in those financial statements relating to a specific equity transaction.

The March 31, 2007 consolidated financial statements have been restated to account for the shares released from restrictions on March 9, 2007. The Company recognized an expense of $2,182,175 related to the transaction. As a result of this correction, net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007 has increased to $3,906,811 from $1,724,636, and net loss per share increased to $0.06 from $0.03. The June 30, 2007 consolidated financial statements have been restated to account for the shares released from restrictions on March 9, 2007. The Company recognized an expense of $2,182,175 related to the transaction. As a result of this correction, net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2007 has increased to $6,392,498 from $4,210,323, and net loss per share increased to $0.09 from $0.06. There was no change for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

Sales and Operational Developments

On March 6, 2008 the Company announced that its specialty corn fiber gel ingredient Z Trim® is being used to enhance several innovative culinary-based prepared food items formulated, manufactured and marketed by Grayslake, Illinois-based Amazing Food Creations (AFC), manufacturers of the Chef Papillote Entrees(TM) line of unique, proprietary gourmet meal/packages. Z Trim is included in many of the Chef Papillote Entrees in addition to many of the frozen and refrigerated consumer packaged food products formulated by AFC for some of the world's best known brands. AFC also uses Z Trim to add texture and enhanced stability to sauces used in the meals they provide to international flights on several major airlines, as well as in some refrigerated entrees for top fundraising programs in schools.

On October 5, 2007, the Company announced that it has received an order from the food service operation of the Flagler County Public Schools in Florida. The transaction activates Z Trim's vendor partnership with the P.O.W.E.R. Buying Group (Purchasing Organization with Educational Results), a Florida buying consortium that consists of 38 county school districts, totaling over 900 schools and serving over 800,000 meals per school day. In addition, Z Trim continues to assist both students and district food service administration for Flagler County Public Schools in planning the school system's food service menu to meet USDA nutritional requirements. In the United States, schools are currently serving over 125,000 meals a day containing Z Trim to replace fat and calories in dressings, mayonnaise, wet salads and baked goods. Based upon the success Z Trim is having with student meal programs, we expect these numbers to continue to increase.

In October 2007, the Company’s management decided to no longer manufacture and sell the Company’s appetite control capsule product. The Company is in discussions with companies in the nutraceutical industry to expand Z Trim’s reach into the dietary supplement market.

On September 17, 2007, the Company announced recent sales of Z Trim products to Ball State University and Ohio University, signaling the launch of Z Trim Holdings, Inc. into the college and university food service sub-sector. The purchase of Z Trim's Mayo Spread by the food service operations at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, as well sales of the Z Trim gel natural specialty fiber food ingredient direct from Z Trim to Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, indicate a food service expansion for Z Trim Holdings beyond the national news stories that broke earlier this year when K-12 school cafeterias began using Z Trim as a solution that could satisfy both the taste and lower fat profiles sought by dietitians and food service directors in the USDA's school meals program.

On August 30, 2007, the Company announced that it had received from Kraki, market leader for value-adding ingredients and solutions to the South American food industry, two purchase orders for a total of over 12 tons of Z Trim functional food ingredient, dwarfing the previously largest order in Company history of approximately 5 tons. Over the last year, Kraki has ordered a cumulative total of over 17 tons of Z Trim.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The increase in product revenue was primarily due to the increase in Z Trim products sales. The following table provides a breakdown of the revenues for the periods indicated:

	Year ended December 31,
	2007		2006
Products	$	616,799	$	103,269

The de crease in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in stock option expense of $5,931,449 that was partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expense of $3,009,171.

The stock option expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $9,419,028.

The stock option expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $3,487,579.

The decrease from other income to other expense was primarily due to a settlement loss of $1,360,981 that was partially offset by a recovery of a loan loss of $300,000.

Net loss

The Company incurred a net loss of $14,625,317 for the year ended December 31, 2007 or $0.21 per share, a 10.9% decrease from the net loss of $16,430,884 for year ended December 31, 2006. This was due to a combination of a decrease in stock option expense offset by an increase in the introduction and promotion of Z Trim products, and for a settlement loss.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2007 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2006

At December 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,436,581, compared to $675,043 at December 31, 2006. The Company raised approximately $9,010,000 in additional equity capital through equity transactions during the year ended December 31, 2007.

The increase resulted primarily from our net loss of $14,625,317, adjusted for non-cash items including: depreciation and amortization of $663,956, stock option expense of $3,487,579, non-cash services of $2,188,940, loss on asset disposals of $107,905, stock and warrant settlements of $1,357,373, recovery of loan loss of $300,000. Remaining net cash used by operating activities resulted from net increase in assets and liabilities of approximately $406,000.

Net cash used by investing activities was $717,210 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $378,294 for the year ending December 31, 2006. The increase was due to additions of property and equipment for our manufacturing plant in the current year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2006 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2005

Revenues

Revenues increased 17% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $514,608 for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $601,544, as a result in both product and service revenues. These include revenues from discontinued operations. The increase in product revenue was primarily due to increase in Z Trim products sales as well as increased demand by e-tailer customers, as a result of a recovery by the airline industry. The increase in service revenue was primarily due to increase in demand for security training service. The following table provides a breakdown of the revenues for our divisions for the periods indicated:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2006		2005
Products	$	594,383	$	510,947
Services		7,161		3,661
Total Revenues	$	601,544	$	514,608

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist of payroll and related costs, stock option expense, insurance, occupancy expenses, professional fees, and general operating expenses. Total operating expenses increased by $11,198,850 or 225% to $16,173,781 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $4,974,931 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the change in the accounting treatment for stock option expense, an impairment charge of intangible asset of $341,250, and increase in public and investor relation and payroll expenses.

The stock option expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $9,419,028. There was no stock option expense for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Other Income

Total other income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $126,314 compared to expense of $935,218 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase from other expense to other income was primarily due to a provision of an uncollectible note receivable of $965,000 in 2005 and the increase in interest income in 2006.

Net Loss

The Company incurred a net loss of $16,430,884 for the year ended December 31, 2006 or $0.28 per share, a 172% increase from the net loss of $6,025,585 or $0.13 per share for year ended December 31, 2005. This was due primarily to the implementation of the change in accounting for stock option expense, net of increase in revenues.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2006 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2005

At December 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $696,499, compared to $24,999 at December 31, 2005. The Company raised approximately $5,799,831 in additional equity capital through equity transactions during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Net cash used by operating activities increased by 34% to $4,904,043 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $3,662,280 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase resulted primarily from our net loss of $16,414,503, adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation and amortization of $661,703, reduction of intangible asset of $341,250, stock option expense of $9,419,028, and non-cash services of $1,902,416, and for the net cash used from the net increases and decreases in assets and liabilities of approximately $813,937.

Net cash used by investing activities was $378,294 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to net cash used by investing activities of $181,186 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was due to additions of property and equipment for our manufacturing plant in current year.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $5,983,837 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $3,774,717 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 was primarily from the proceeds received from notes receivable for stock subscriptions of $2,350,000 and from sale of our stocks and exercising of options and warrants of $1,453,567.

As of March 31, 2008, our cash balance was approximately $1,000,376. To successfully grow our business, we must improve our cash position through greater and sustainable sales of our product lines, increase the productivity of the production process, as well as raise additional capital through a combination of public or private equity offerings, strategic alliances or debt financing to allow us to make necessary changes to our plant and to provide working capital until we achieve profitability. The Company estimates that it will take from 18 to 30 months to achieve profitability. Given this estimate, the Company will likely need to find sources of funding for both the short and long terms.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(c) of Regulation S-B.

RISK FACTORS

The following risks are material risks that we face. If any of the following risks occur, the business of the Company and its operating results could be seriously harmed.

BUSINESS RISKS

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES AND CANNOT GUARANTEE PROFITABLE OPERATIONS IN THE FUTURE. ANY FAILURE ON OUR PART TO ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY MAY CAUSE US TO REDUCE OR EVENTUALLY CEASE OPERATIONS.

We reported a net loss of $16,430,884 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2006 and a net loss of $14,625,317 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, respectively, we reported accumulated deficits of $49,484,299 and $64,109,616. If we continue to incur significant losses, our cash reserves may be depleted earlier than currently anticipated, and we may be required to limit our future growth objectives to levels corresponding with our then available cash reserves.

OUR SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT ON MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF OUR PRODUCT.

We have not conducted, nor have others made available to us, results of market research indicating how much market demand exists for Z Trim, our functional food ingredient. We are relying on the current concerns over obesity, weight-health issues, and the rising cost of health care to drive demand for Z Trim in the marketplace. We cannot assure you that we will be able to gain the market acceptance necessary to achieve profitability.

WE MAKE NO PROJECTIONS REGARDING THE VIABILITY OF OUR FUNCTIONAL FOOD INGREDIENT AND WE CANNOT ASSURE YOU THAT WE WILL ACHIEVE THE RESULTS DESCRIBED.

We make no projection with respect to our future income, assets or business. No expert has reviewed our business plan for accuracy or reasonableness. It is likely that our actual business and results of operations will differ from those presented herein.

WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FUNDING AND SUCH FUNDING MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE. IF SUCH FUNDING IS AVAILABLE, IT MAY NOT BE OFFERED ON SATISFACTORY TERMS.

We will require additional financing to fund ongoing operations, as our current sales and revenue growth are insufficient to meet our operating costs. The Company estimates that it will take from 18 to 30 months to achieve profitability. Our inability to obtain necessary capital or financing to fund these needs will adversely affect our ability to fund operations and continue as a going concern. Our inability to obtain necessary capital or financing to fund these needs could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additional financing may not be available when needed or may not be available on terms acceptable to us. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate one or more of our business strategies, which may affect our overall business results of operations and financial condition.

OUR MANUFACTURING FACILITY IS CURRENTLY OPERATING AT A LOSS.

We are presently operating at a negative gross margin in that the cost of production exceeds the sales price of the product. The changes that are being made to the manufacturing process to allow us to produce at a positive gross margin have yet to be completed and may not be successful. The current manufacturing facility is merely a pilot plant. In order to fully implement our business plans we will need to move the operations to a larger facility, develop strategic partnerships or find other means to produce greater volumes of finished product.

THE AVAILABILITY AND COST OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS THAT WE USE IN OUR BUSINESS ARE SUBJECT TO WEATHER AND OTHER FACTORS BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

All of our current products depend on our proprietary technology using agricultural products, mainly corn and oat. Historically, the costs of corn and oat are subject to substantial fluctuations depending upon a number of factors which affect commodity prices in general and over which we have no control, including crop conditions, weather, government programs and purchases by foreign governments.

WE FACE COMPETITION.

Competition is intense in our targeted industries, including nutraceuticals, functional food ingredients, oils, gums and a large number of businesses engaged in the various fat replacement industries. Many of our competitors have established reputations for successfully developing and marketing their products, including products that are widely recognized as providing similar calorie reduction. In addition, many of our competitors have greater financial, managerial, and technical resources than us. If we are not successful in competing in these markets, we may not be able to attain our business objectives.

WE MAY EXPAND OUR OPERATIONS BY MAKING ACQUISITIONS WHICH COULD SUBJECT US TO A NUMBER OF OPERATIONAL RISKS.

In order to grow our business, we may expand our operations by acquiring other businesses in the future. We cannot predict whether or when any acquisitions will occur. Acquisitions commonly involve certain risks, and we cannot assure you that any acquired business will be successfully integrated into our operations or will perform as we expect. Any future acquisitions could involve certain other risks, including the assumption of additional liabilities, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, and diversion of management's attention from other business concerns. We may also enter into joint venture transactions. Joint ventures have the added risk that the other joint venture partners may have economic, business or legal interests or objectives that are inconsistent with our interests and objectives.

OUR INABILITY TO SECURE AND PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MAY RESULT IN COSTLY AND TIME-CONSUMING LITIGATION AND COULD IMPEDE US FROM EVER ATTAINING MARKET SUCCESS.

We hold several patents as well as copyrights and trademarks with respect to our products and expect to continue to file applications in the future as a means of protecting our intellectual property. In addition, we seek to protect our proprietary information and know-how through the use of trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and other similar security measures. With respect to patents, there can be no assurance that any applications for patent protection will be granted, or, if granted, will offer meaningful protection.

Additionally, there can be no assurance that competitors will not develop, patent or gain access to similar know-how and technology, or reverse engineer our products, or that any confidentiality agreements upon which we rely to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information will be adequate to protect our proprietary technology. The occurrence of any such events could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

THE LOSS OF SERVICE OF KEY MANAGEMENT COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR PERFORMANCE.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the performance of our Executive Vice-President of Technology and Marketing, Dr. Triveni Shukla. The loss of service of Dr. Shukla could have a material adverse effect on our operating performance and viability as a going concern.

OUR STOCK PRICE MAY DROP UNEXPECTEDLY DUE TO SHORT SELLING OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE MARKET.

Regulation SHO began on January 3, 2005 and was adopted to update short sale regulation in light of numerous market developments since short sale regulation was first adopted in 1938. We have experienced and may continue to experience unexpected declines in our stock price due to manipulation of the market by individuals who profit by short selling our common stock. Short selling occurs when an individual borrows shares from an investor through a broker and then sells those borrowed shares at the current market price. The "short seller" profits when the stock price falls because he or she can repurchase the stock at a lower price and pay back the person from whom he or she borrowed, thereby making a profit. We cannot assure you that short sellers will not continue to drive the stock price down in the future, causing decline in the value of your investment.

THE FLUCTUATION IN OUR STOCK PRICE MAY RESULT IN A DECLINE IN THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

The price of our common stock may fluctuate widely, depending upon many factors, including the differences between our actual financial and operating results and those expected by investors and analysts, changes in analysts' recommendations or projections, short selling of our stock in the market, changes in general economic or market conditions and broad market fluctuations. Companies that experience volatility in the market price of their securities often are subject to securities class action litigation. This type of litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources away from our business.

MARKET RISKS THE COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO THE PENNY STOCK RULES.

The term "penny stock" generally refers to low-priced, speculative securities of very small companies. Before a broker-dealer can sell a penny stock, SEC rules require the broker-dealer to first approve the customer for the transaction and receive from the customer a written agreement to the transaction. The broker-dealer must furnish the customer a document describing the risks of investing in penny stocks. The broker-dealer must tell the customer the current market quotation, if any, for the penny stock and the compensation the broker-dealer and its broker will receive for the trade. Finally, the broker-dealer must send monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. These requirements make penny stocks more difficult to trade. Because the Common Stock is subject to the penny stock rules, the market liquidity of the Common Stock may be adversely affected.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET.

From time to time, certain of our shareholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of Common Stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, a stockholder (or shareholders whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a six-month holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume of the class during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities, without any limitation, by our shareholders that are non-affiliates that have satisfied a one-year holding period. Any substantial sale of our Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any resale prospectus may have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Common Stock.

THE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL COMMON STOCK COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION.

We will need additional equity funding to provide the capital to achieve our objectives. Such equity issuance would cause a substantially larger number of shares to be outstanding, thereby diluting the ownership interest of our existing shareholders. In addition, public sales of substantial amounts of the Common Stock after this registration statement could reduce the market price for the Common Stock. If we raise capital in the future by issuing additional equity securities, investors may experience a decline in the value of their securities.

THE TRADING PRICE OF THE COMMON STOCK IS VOLATILE, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE VALUE OF AN INVESTMENT OUR SECURITIES TO DECLINE.

The market price of shares of our Common Stock has been volatile. The price of the Common Stock may continue to fluctuate in response to a number of factors, such as:

-	developments and resolution of current litigation that we are a party to;

-	our cash resources and our ability to obtain additional funding;

-	announcements by us or a competitor of business development or exhibition projects;

-	our entering into or terminating strategic business relationships;

-	changes in government regulations;

-	changes in our revenue or expense levels; and

-	negative reports on us by security analysts;

The occurrence of any of these events may cause the price of the Common Stock to fall. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance or financial condition of individual companies. Any broad market or industry fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock, regardless of operating performance or prospects.

WE DO NOT PLAN TO PAY DIVIDENDS TO HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends to the holders of the Common Stock at any time. Accordingly, investors must rely upon subsequent sales after price appreciation as the sole method to realize a gain on investment. There are no assurances that the price of Common Stock will ever appreciate in value. Investors seeking cash dividends should not buy our securities.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On December 19, 2007, the shareholders approved the change of accountants from Spector & Wong to Blackman Kallick, LLP.

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures .

The Company maintains internal controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. These include controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Disclosure Committee, which is made up of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other management staff, meets on a quarterly basis and has overview responsibility for this process. The Committee reviews a checklist of items during its meetings to document the review of any unusual items or issues raised. The Disclosure Committee conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting . During the third and fourth quarters of 2007, we began the implementation of remedial measures as described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 16, 2007. These efforts are now complete.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, management, with the participation of the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee composed of two directors, Randal Hoff and Harvey Rosenfeld, each whom is considered an “independent director" under the rules of the American Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board of Directors has determined that Randal Hoff qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" under SEC rules. The function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in preserving the integrity of the financial information published by the Company through the review of financial and accounting controls and policies, financial reporting systems, alternative accounting principles that could be applied and the quality and effectiveness of the independent public accountants.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Our outside directors currently receive $1,500 per meeting as cash compensation. This practice began as of December 19, 2007. Prior to that, no directors received any cash compensation for serving on our board, but were eligible to receive options and/or restricted shares of our common stock pursuant to our 2004 Stock Equity Plan. In 2007, Mr. Michael Donahue received 100,000 options, and Mr. Brian Israel received 200,000 options. The current board has also approved a grant of 200,000 shares of common stock per external director, as well as the ability to participate in a pool of an additional 500,000 shares of common stock based on the amount of time spent per director on Company affairs outside of monthly board meetings. The cumulative minimum number of annual External Director work hours required prior to any distribution of the pool is 1,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Z Trim Holdings, Inc.

Mundelein, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Z Trim Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Z Trim Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the company has suffered recurring losses from operations and requires additional financing to continue in operation. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Z Trim Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Z Trim Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principals used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Z Trim Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2007

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

Nature of Business

Z Trim Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) manufactures a line of functional food ingredients that can be used to replace fats and deliver fiber to a wide variety of foods. The Company’s products can be used by food manufacturers and processors, restaurants, schools, and the general public worldwide. The company continues to explore all available options for its other Z Trim technologies and related assets.

The Company has participated in several public and private offerings and has expanded its business. In 2002, the Company acquired FiberGel Technologies, Inc. (“FiberGel”), which owns an exclusive license to Z Trim, an all-natural, agriculture-based fat replacement.

Up to July 2007 the Company had three reportable business unit segments: food product development, security product development and e-tailer. The Company operates through its FiberGel, The Brave Way Training Systems, Inc. (“Braveway”), On-Line Bedding Corp. (“On-Line”), and Z-Amaize Technologies, Inc. divisions. On July 18, 2007 the Board of Directors resolved to dissolve and liquidate On-Line, which is the E-tailer operating segment. On September 17, 2007 the Board of Directors resolved to dissolve all company subsidiaries, other than FiberGel, by December 31, 2007. The related assets over liabilities of the dissolved segments have an approximate carrying deficit of $6,700, including intercompany payables of $6,200.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In the near term, the Company expects operating costs to continue to exceed funds generated from operations. As a result, the Company expects to continue to incur operating losses and may not have enough capital to grow its business in the future. The Company can give no assurance that it will achieve profitability or be capable of sustaining profitable operations. As a result, operations in the near future are expected to continue to use working capital.

To successfully grow the business, the Company must decrease its cash outflows, improve its cash position and its revenue base, and succeed in its ability to raise additional capital through a combination of primarily public or private equity offerings or strategic alliances.

The Company is currently in the process of obtaining additional financing for its current operations.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principle of Consolidation and Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Z Trim Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries after elimination of significantly all intercompany accounts and transactions.

On September 17, 2007, the Company resolved to discontinue all subsidiaries, other than FiberGel. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 have been restated to present the results of two out of three segments as discontinued operations.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period items have been reclassified from operating expenses to cost of goods sold for ease of comparison. This reclassification affects neither the net loss nor the accumulated deficit of the Company. Specifically, manufacturing overhead costs in the amount of $1,183,724 were previously combined with selling, general and administrative expenses in 2006. Manufacturing overhead costs are now classified as products expense in the cost of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

NOTE 3–SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generally recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. In instances where the final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. No provisions were established for estimated product returns and allowances based on the Company’s historical experience.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Management of the Company makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide allowances for the portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Provisions are made based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding invoices. For those invoices not specifically reviewed, provisions are provided at differing rates, based upon the age of the receivable. In determining these percentages, management analyzes its historical collection experience and current economic trends. If the historical data the Company uses to calculate the allowance for doubtful accounts does not reflect the future ability to collect outstanding receivables, additional provisions for doubtful accounts may be needed and the future results of operations could be materially affected. As of December 31, 2007 the allowance for doubtful accounts is $1,005. As of December 31, 2006, no allowance for doubtful accounts was provided as management believed that all accounts as of those dates were fully collectible.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Fair value of financial instruments

All financial instruments are carried at amounts that approximate estimated fair value.

Concentrations

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and therefore bear minimal risk.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated on the accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of five to ten years are used for machinery and equipment, office equipment and furniture, and automobile. Estimated useful lives of up to five years are used for computer equipment and related software. Depreciation and amortization of leasehold improvements are computed using the term of the lease.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are carried at the purchased cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally from fifteen to twenty years.

NOTE 3 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries are included in the consolidated federal income tax return filed by the Parent. The amount of current and deferred taxes payable or refundable is recognized as of the date of the financial statements, utilizing currently enacted tax laws and rates. Deferred tax expenses or benefits are recognized in the financial statements for the changes in deferred tax liabilities or assets between years.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. The amount for 2007 was $465,713. The amount for 2006 was $1,271,355.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding and, when diluted, potential shares from options and warrants to purchase common stock using the treasury stock method. Diluted net loss per common share does not differ from basic net loss per common share since potential shares of common stock are anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

Cashless Exercise of Warrants

The Company has issued warrants to purchase common stock where the holder is entitled to exercise the warrant via a cashless exercise, when the exercise price is less than the fair value of the common stock. The Company accounts for

the issuance of common stock on the cashless exercise of warrants on a net basis.

Stock Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R).

As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company recognized pre-tax compensation expense related to stock options of $3,487,579 and $9,419,028 for years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The 2007 stock option expense includes an additional charge of $1,731,545 from the modification of 13,791,773 out-of-money options. Of these options, 345,000 were granted a two year extension, 45,000 of these options were modified for an increase of $2.70 to the exercise price, 310,000 were re-issued and granted a one year extension not to exceed an exercise date of August 20, 2010 and 13,091,773 were granted a one year extension not to exceed an exercise date of August 20, 2010. The 2006 stock option expense includes an additional charge of $1,199,402 from the modification of 1,620,000 out-of-money options. These options were granted a lower exercise price and a two year extension.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1 (“FSP 48-1”), Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 . FSP 48-1 amended FIN 48 to provide guidance on how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP 48-1 required application upon the initial adoption of FIN 48. The adoption of FSP 48-1 did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 , which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement. FAS No.159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements . FAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement addresses how to calculate fair value measurements required or permitted under other accounting pronouncements. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of the statement will change current practice. FAS No. 157 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations , and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements . SFAS N. 141 (R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 141 (R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We have not yet determined the effect on our consolidated financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No. 141 (R) or SFAS No. 160.

Private Placement Offerings

On February 2, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with J.P. Turner & Company, L.L.C. to sell shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00005 per share (“Common Stock”), and warrants exercisable for Common Stock (the “Warrants”). The purchase price was $1.00 per share, which was greater than 70% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the 90 days from the day prior to the closing date, which was March 29, 2007. The investors also received a 25% stock warrant at an exercise price equal to 120% of the purchase price. The Warrants have a term of 5 years.

The offering closed on March 29, 2007. In the aggregate the Company sold 8,000,000 shares of its common stock and 2,000,000 warrants. J.P. Turner & Company, L.L.C received a placement fee of 10% of the gross proceeds and 15% warrant coverage with an exercise price equal to the purchase price. The Company received $6,958,000 in proceeds, which is net of offering costs and commissions of $1,042,000.

The Company filed a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Common Stock underlying the units and Warrants with the SEC. The Company has responded to all SEC comments and is waiting for the registration approval from the SEC.

In May 2007, the Company conducted a self-underwritten offering of the Company’s common stock. The stock was sold for $100,000 per unit. Each unit consisted of 100,000 shares of common stock and 25,000 warrants. The warrants are exercisable at $1.20 per share and expire in five (5) years after purchase of the above-described unit. The Company sold and issued 880,000 shares and received proceeds of $880,000 under the offering. The Company has received a stock subscription for 150,000 shares of its common stock and 37,500 warrants under the offering.

On March 24 through 30, 2006, the Company entered into private placement subscription agreements pursuant to which it sold unregistered shares of common stock, par value $0.00005 per share (“Common Stock”), and warrants exercisable for Common Stock. The Company sold approximately 205 units in the private placement, with each unit consisting of 40,323 shares of Common Stock. In addition, investors who invested at least $500,000 in the private placement received a five-year warrant with an exercise price of $1.00 per share to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 10% of the number of shares of Common Stock purchased (the “Warrants”). In the aggregate the Company sold 8,245,368 shares of Common Stock, and Warrants to purchase an additional 161,292 shares of Common Stock. Proceeds from the sale, net of commissions and fees of $521,865, totaled $4,536,433. The Company has registered the Common Stock and underlying Warrants with the SEC as free trading shares.

National Securities Corporation (“National Securities”) served as the lead placement agent in connection with the private placement. National Securities received cash fees in the aggregate of $521,865 and warrants to purchase 824,537 shares of Common Stock on terms which are identical to the Warrants included in the units except that the exercise price is $0.68 per share and they contain an assignment provision. In addition, the placement agent’s warrant has registration rights that are the same as those afforded to investors in the private placement.

In January 2006, the Company conducted a self-underwritten offering of the Company’s common stock up to $1.24 million. The stock was sold for $31,000 per unit. Each unit consisted of 50,000 shares of common stock and 50,000 warrants. The warrants are exercisable at $1.00 per share and expire in three (3) years after purchase of the above-described unit. The Company sold and issued 1,000,000 shares and received proceeds of $620,000 under the offering.

The Company determined that all of the securities sold and issued in the private placements were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) pursuant Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D Promulgated under the Act. The Company based this determination on the non-public manner in which it offered the securities and on the representations of the persons purchasing such securities, which included, in pertinent part, that such persons were “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act, and that such persons were acquiring such securities for investment purposes for their own respective accounts and not as nominees or agents, and not with a view to resale or distribution, and that each such persons understood such securities may not be sold to or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Act or an applicable exemption there from.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY/ SUBSEQUENT EVENT (CONTINUED)

Exercising of Stock Warrants and Options

During 2007, 1,014,163 stock warrants and options were exercised. The Company received total proceeds of $872,290. The 2007 warrants exercised are net of 879,996 shares rescinded by the Board of Directors on April 30, 2007.

During 2006, 1,273,527 stock warrants and options were exercised. The Company received total proceeds of $643,398. The Company applied $8,627 of proceeds due from a consultant exercising options during 2006 against services rendered for the Company. There was no actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option and warrant exercises for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

On August 20, 2007, the Board cancelled all outstanding options held by the former CEO Gregory J. Halpern and his family. This resulted in the cancellation of 3,462,682 options.

Common Stock Issued on the Cashless Exercise of Warrants

During February 2007 the Company issued 11,578 shares of common stock on the cashless exercise of warrants.

Release of Common Stock Stop Order

On November 22, 2004, the Company entered into a two-year engagement with David Shemesh and Mordechai Tobian for investor relations services in consideration of 2,250,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company (the "Shemesh/Tobian Shares") and a warrant to purchase 275,000 shares of restricted common stock at $.80 per share through November 21, 2007.

Based on a closing price of the Company's common stock of $.79 on November 22, 2004, the Company recorded paid-in-capital of $1,777,500 as of that date and began to recognize investor relation expenses on a quarterly basis over the life of the two-year contract.

On August 24, 2005, the Company took the position that Shemesh and Tobian had failed to perform as agreed and the Company purported to rescind the contract. Simultaneously, the Company placed a stop order on the Shemesh/Tobian Shares. Through that date, the Company had recognized $765,325 of expense relating to the contract. Accordingly, at September 30, 2005 the Company wrote off the remaining $1,012,175 against paid-in-capital.

Shemesh and Tobian disputed the Company's basis for rescinding the contract and because they were referred to the Company by Farhad Zaghi, the Company's purported rescission became an issue in the Company's ongoing litigation with Zaghi and his affiliates. In order to eliminate one of the issues of contention between the parties and facilitate further settlement negotiations, on March 9, 2007, the Company released the stop order on the Shemesh/Tobian Shares and allowed the shares to be traded. The Company recognized an expense to investor relations of $2,182,175, based on the closing price on March 9, 2007.

Director’s Grant of Equity

On January 3, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a compensation plan that includes a grant of 200,000 shares of common stock to each of the five external directors. A tax gross up of up to 35% will be included. These shares have yet to be issued. The fair market value of the stock on January 3, 2008 was $.37, which results in a total cost of $370,000 for the shares granted. The Board also created a pool of an additional 500,000 shares of common stock that will be awarded based on the amount of time spent per director on Company affairs outside of monthly board meetings.

NOTE 16 – PENDING LITIGATION/ CONTINGENT LIABILITY/ SUBSEQUENT EVENT

The parties have since attended a court-ordered settlement conference, and all parties other than Greg Halpern (the Company's former CEO) have reached a new settlement agreement. Whereas the old agreement had two components: (1) the Company would have an open-ended obligation to issue common stock to Zaghi until he realized proceeds of approximately $1.7 million from the sale of stock before the litigation would be dismissed, and (2) the issuance of approximately 2.26 million warrants, the new agreement requires only that a fixed number of shares and warrants be issued to Zaghi. Specifically, under the new settlement agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to a Zaghi affiliate and register for resale 3 million shares of the Company's common stock and a warrant to purchase an additional 2.5 million shares of the Company's common stock. See also Note 12 for disclosure of the 2007 loss recognized. The warrant is immediately exercisable, with a three-year term and a variable exercise price equal to the lowest twelve-trading-day average closing price of the Company's common stock during the period between the date of issuance of the warrant and the date of notice of exercise. Under the new settlement agreement, the parties to the agreement have agreed to dismiss their cases without prejudice, and have exchanged covenants not to sue. The Company's registration obligation with respect to the settlement shares and the shares underlying the warrants is on a best-efforts basis, but because the registration was not effective by March 17, 2008, Zaghi has the right to terminate the agreement. The Company has already listed the shares with Amex, and filed a registration statement with the S.E.C. As soon as the S.E.C. approves the registration statement, the shares will become free-trading, and the parties will be obligated to dismiss the case.

On July 7, 2007, the Company was served with a complaint by Joseph Sanfilippo and James Cluck for violation of the Consumer Fraud Act, purportedly due to the Company’s refusal to allow for the exercise of 300,000 stock options. Management believes that the allegations are frivolous and wholly without merit and will vigorously defend the claim.

On March 20, 2007, the Company filed a patent infringement suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin seeking unspecified damages and equitable relief against a manufacturer of a competing product. On January 28, 2008, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of the Defendant, finding non-infringement. The Company has since filed an appeal.

On November 19, 2007, the Company settled a dispute with Basic Investors, Inc. (“Basic Investors”). The Company agreed to issue Basic Investors, 375,000 three year warrants at an exercise price of $.70 per share. The Company also agreed to provide an attorney letter and corporate authorization to remove any restrictions on 355,000 shares of the Company’s common stock previously issued to Basic under a Consulting Agreement dated February 21, 2006. The parties exchanged mutual releases. In the event that American Stock Exchange does not approve the transaction, the agreement would be deemed null and void. The Company has accrued $87,324 at December 31, 2007 as a settlement expense for this agreement.

NOTE 16 – PENDING LITIGATION/ CONTINGENT LIABILITY/ SUBSEQUENT EVENT (CONTINUED)

On July 17, 2006, George Forman Enterprises, Inc. filed a complaint against Z Trim Holdings, Inc. in the U.S. District Court seeking damages in excess of $70,000,000 for specific performance, breach of contract, promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment. The basis for all such claims is the underlying LOA, set forth above. The Company received summary judgment in its favor as to the count seeking promissory estoppel. Further, on September 18, 2007, the Court issued a number of orders limiting the evidence that GFME may bring in support of its claims. Management believes that GFME’s allegations are frivolous and wholly without merit and will vigorously defend the claim. The trial date of February 2008 has been stricken, and reset for September 2008.

During November 2007, the Company determined, through the course of its investigation of all prior equity transactions, that 1,040,000 options that were issued in 2002 and 2003 to a former officer were both issued without proper authorization and non-qualified stock options, as opposed to qualified. The Company had previously treated these options as if properly issued and as qualified “incentive stock options.” The former officer exercised these options in 2004 and 2005, resulting in the issuance of 1,040,000 shares of common stock. The Company shall seek to rescind these transactions and thus recover the shares. In order to do so, the Company would have to reimburse the former officer the amount paid to exercise the options (listed at $132,000). If the Company is unsuccessful in recovering the shares, it could potentially be responsible for unpaid FICA and Medicare taxes resulting from the re-classification of the options from qualified to non-qualified. This potential liability would be for approximately $166,000, half of which would be the responsibility of the Company, and half of which would the responsibility of the former officer.

NOTE 17 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of December 31, 2007 there were employees’ advances of $3,275. These advances will be repaid during 2008.

In May 2007, the Board of Directors resolved to rescind a consulting agreement pursuant to which options were issued on October 5, 2006. The agreement was with the brother of the Vice President. The related options were exercised for 200,000 shares at $0.75 per share or $150,000 in October 2006. The Board further resolved to approve the related party to use the proceeds to subscribe the shares pursuant to the Company’s May 2007 self-underwritten offering (see Note 6). The subscription is pending regulatory approval from the American Stock Exchange. Common stock and paid in capital were decreased and other liabilities was increased for $150,000.

The Company had a stock subscription receivable of $20,000 from the President related to exercising his stock options in 2005. The stock subscription receivable was paid in full on September 30, 2006 including $675 of interest.

On April 12, 2006, the Company advanced $2,500 to the President, prior to his assuming the position of President. The advance was repaid on July 31, 2006.

NOTE 18 – GUARANTEES

The Company from time to time enters into certain types of contracts that contingently require the Company to indemnify parties against third party claims. These contracts primarily relate to: (i) divestiture agreements, under which the Company may provide customary indemnifications to purchasers of the Company’s businesses or assets; (ii) certain real estate leases, under which the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities, and other claims arising from the Company’s use of the applicable premises; and (iii) certain agreements with the Company's officers, directors and employees, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship. The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated. Because the obligated amounts of these types of agreements often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007.

In general, the Company offers a one-year warranty for most of the products it sold. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs associated with these warranties.

The food product development segment owns the exclusive, worldwide license to Z Trim(TM). The Security training offers cost effective self-defense training courses and products with a uniquely targeted curriculum. The e-tailer segment is a distributor of pillows, blankets, and other bedding products. In third quarter of 2007, the Company resolved to discontinue all subsidiaries, other than Fiber-Gel. As a result, the security training and products segment and e-tailer segment are reclassified to discontinued operations and the food product development segment remains as the Company’s reportable segment The Company also has other subsidiaries that do not meet the quantitative thresholds of a reportable segment.

The Company reviews the operating segments’ income to evaluate performance and to allocate resources. Operating companies' income for the reportable segments excludes income taxes, minority interest and amortization of goodwill. Provision for income taxes is centrally managed at the corporate level and, accordingly, such items are not presented by segment. The segments' accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

Intersegment transactions are recorded at cost.
