MUNDELEIN, Ill., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Z Trim Holdings, Inc. (AMEX:ZTM), announced today that it has received a letter from Amex stating that the Company has resolved the continued listing deficiencies referenced in the Amex letter dated August 17, 2007. Amex's finding was based, in part, on a review of submissions and representations made by Z Trim Holdings, that it had taken a number of meaningful internal control enhancements. President Steve Cohen welcomed the news as an important achievement by management and the board of directors in their plan to achieve the company's full potential. "The changes that Z Trim has made to gain compliance with Amex standards should provide our investors with reassurance that our company is committed to transparency in governance and to financial responsibility. We're a stronger company for it," he said. "While we pledge to be vigilant in adhering to all applicable rules and regulations, we look forward to re- focusing our efforts on building a sound business and thereby enhancing shareholder value." These efforts include: -- Sound strategic planning and budgeting -- Advancement of plans for the improvement of plant efficiency -- Expansion upon new and prior sales and marketing relationships -- Development of new sales and marketing relationships to mutually beneficial strategic partnerships -- New product innovation -- Exploration of new markets -- Resolution of resource-diverting litigation 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.
