Z Trim ingredients are natural, minimally processed, taste-neutral, zero calorie food ingredients Z Trim ingredients are made from corn bran and oat hull through a patented process exclusively licensed by Z Trim Holdings; the USDA patent expires in 2015 The Company has developed a proprietary manufacturing process to mass produce its line of products with improved margins The Company's Food Ingredient, “Z Trim,” is a USDA-Patented Product That Serves as a Functional Food Ingredient With the Following Characteristics: Food Manufacturers Lower manufacturing costs/improved margins Reduces calories, fat and trans-fat content Increases moisture retention Extends shelf life and reduces breakage Improves texture and mouth-feel Reduces oil separation Enables simpler and cleaner ingredient labeling Non-GMO line of products Consumers Low fat and low calorie food that tastes just like full-fat products Replacement of “non-natural” additives Better microwave results; freeze/thaw stable Adds dietary fiber Improves finished products Diabetic-safe and “gluten-free” Business Overview – Food Division (“Z-Trim Ingredients”) Z-Trim Ingredients Provide Multiple Benefits to the Food Industry & Consumers

Step 1: Corn Production Step 2: Corn Processed Into Corn Starch and Syrup Step 3: By-product of Corn Starch and Syrup is Corn Bran Corn Bran is a cost-effective and widely available raw material Source of Z-Trim Holdings’ Raw Material (Corn Bran)

Example 1: Hamburger Patties Using Z Trim results in a savings of $0.08 per pound for a 6% cost savings This may not sound like a lot, but, for American Foods Group, one of the largest meat producers in the U.S., which processes over 1 million pounds of ground beef a day, this 6% cost savings would translate into an approximately $30 million cost reduction annually (meat products represent a $1.6B opportunity in U.S. alone) In addition to cost savings, Z Trim produces additional value by: Lowering fat content Reducing shrinkage (size of finished product after cooking) Producing moister texture & improved “mouth feel” Hamburger Patty Current Formulation Without Z Trim Current Formulation Without Z Trim Formulation With Z Trim Formulation With Z Trim Ingredient Lbs/batch Cost/lb Lbs/batch Cost/lb Ground Beef (80/20) 982.4 $1.18 887.4 $1.06 Water 0 0 90.0 $0.00 Z Trim Corn Fiber 0 0 5.0 $0.04 Total $1.18 $1.10 Cost Savings for Food Producers – Case Study 1 *Nutritional information was calculated using ESHA Genesis® R&D software

Example 2: Cheesecake Filling Using Z Trim results in a savings of $0.50 per pound for a 26% cost savings For Kraft Foods**, which processes over 10 million pounds of cheesecake base per year, this 26% savings would translate into an approximately $5 million cost reduction annually (this is one product in a company that has thousands) In addition to cost savings, Z Trim produces additional value by: Lowering fat content Improving creaminess and mouth-feel Cheesecake Filling Current Formulation Without Z Trim* Current Formulation Without Z Trim* Formulation With Z Trim* Formulation With Z Trim* Ingredient Lbs/batch Cost/lb Lbs/batch Cost/lb Cream Cheese 1,420.3 $1.93 986.2 $1.34 Water 0 0 408.2 $0.01 Z Trim Corn Fiber 0 0 25.9 $0.08 Total $1.93 $1.43 Cost Savings for Food Producers – Case Study 2 *Source: Nutritional information was calculated using ESHA Genesis® R&D software ** Kraft Foods is not currently a Z Trim customer.

Z Trim’s industrial products can provide customers superior functionality, improved supply chain reliability, and reduced environmental impact, compared to many of the competitive products on the market today. Z Trim’ has two products on the industrial division (i) Industrial grade Bio-Fiber Gum (“BFG”); and (ii) IZT (“IZT”); BFG has exceptional binding and emulsifying properties comparable to competitive products such as gum acacia/arabic and guar gum BFG potential uses & applications: Petroleum coke/ iron ore/ charcoal briquette pelletizing Hydro-Fracking as proppant binder Ceramics pelletizing Bio-fuels IZT has one-of-a-kind viscosity building attributes, superior to products such as guar gum, CMC and xanthan gum. Recently signed joint development agreement with Newpark Drilling Fluids to work on incorporating IZT into drilling fluids. BFG and IZT products can be produced at a fraction of the cost of competitive products and therefore achieve higher margins for Z Trim Holdings. BFG Equal to or Better Functionally Vs. Alternatives $10b Market Opportunity Inexpensive and Readily Available Business Overview – Industrial Division (“ZT Technologies”)

Industrial Data – Petroleum Coke 2015 Estimated Global Petcoke Production Source: Jacobs Engineering Company made first BFG sale to leading Petcoke manufacturer in February 2013 Establishes Z Trim’s technology in a multi-billion dollar industry

BFG can be used at much lower levels than competitive products, while achieving better results BFG usage level, at less than 0.8% of the total product mix, can replace: starch used at 5% or higher lignosulfonates used at up to 10% - very inexpensive material that leaves high residual impurities guar gum used at up to 3% - big oil competes for this raw material – Prices reached $30/Kg in 2012 gelatin used at up to 4% - prices trending higher Low usage levels equate to: less inventory to manage lower transportation costs higher product functionality as a binder BFG can pelletize iron ore, alumina, ceramics, fertilizer, and similar products First sale of BFG for petroleum coke pelletization took place in February 2013 BFG, which is patent pending, was successfully used to pelletize petroleum coke and Kaolin clay to form pellets with much higher green strength for use in the aluminum/steel production industry: BFG Case Study: Minerals Pelletization
