NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Agritech Worldwide, Inc., formerly known as Z Trim Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), is an agricultural technology company that owns and develops products and processes for use in the food and industrial markets. The Company currently sells a line of products to the food industry that can help food manufacturers reduce their costs and help them solve many production problems. The Company’s technology provides value-added ingredients across virtually all food industry categories. The Company’s all-natural products, among other things, help to reduce fat and calories, add fiber, provide shelf-stability, prevent oil migration, and add binding capacity – all without degrading the taste and texture of the final food products. Perhaps most significantly, the Company’s products can help extend the shelf life of finished products, and thereby potentially increasing customers’ gross margins. The Company’s industrial division, opened in 2012, plans to sell eco-friendly ingredients to oil drilling, hydraulic fracturing, petroleum coke, steel/aluminum, paper and other industries. The Company’s industrial ingredients are highly functional in applications for adhesives, binders, viscofiers and emulsifiers.

 

The Company was originally incorporated in the State of Illinois on May 5, 1994 under the name Circle Group Entertainment Ltd. On June 21, 2006, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to our certificate of incorporation and changed its name to Z Trim Holdings Inc. On March 23, 2016, the Company changed its state of incorporation by engaging in a merger (the “Reincorporation”) with and into its newly formed wholly owned subsidiary, Agritech Worldwide, Inc., a Nevada corporation, pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into by Z Trim and Agritech on March 18, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”). The Reincorporation was consummated on March 23, 2016 and was effectuated by the filing of (i) articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, and (ii) articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Illinois. The Reincorporation effected a change in the Company’s legal domicile from Illinois to Nevada. Upon the effectiveness of the Reincorporation the Company’s affairs ceased to be governed by (i) Illinois corporation laws, (ii) Illinois Articles of Incorporation, and (iii) Illinois Bylaws, and its affairs became subject to (a) Nevada corporation laws, (b) Agritech’s Articles of Incorporation of and (c) Agritech’s Bylaws. The resulting Nevada corporation (i) is deemed to be the same entity as the Illinois corporation for all purposes under the laws of Nevada, (ii) continues to have all of the rights, privileges and powers of the Illinois corporation, (iii) continues to possess all properties of the Illinois corporation, and (iv) continues to have all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Illinois corporation.
