INFORMATION STATEMENT

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY,

AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

GENERAL

This Information Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of AirTrax, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the proposed adoption of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Amendment") by the written consent of the holders of a majority in interest of the Company's voting capital stock ("Voting Capital Stock") consisting of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, no par value ("Common Stock"), and outstanding 5% Voting Preferred Stock, no par value (“Preferred Stock”). The Company's Board of Directors on October 15, 2003, approved and recommended that the Certificate of Incorporation be amended in order to increase the Company's authorized common stock, no par value, from 10,000,000 shares to 20,000,000 shares. A consent of shareholders holding in excess of a majority of the outstanding Voting Capital Stock was executed on October ___, 2003. The proposed Amendment will become effective upon the filing of the Amendment with the New Jersey Secretary of State. The Company anticipates that the filing of the Amendment will occur on or about November __, 2003. If the proposed Amendment was not adopted by written consent, it would have been required to be considered by the Company's stockholders at special stockholders' meeting convened for the specific purpose of approving the Amendment.

The elimination of the need for a special meeting of stockholders to approve the Amendment is made possible by Section 14A:5-6 of the New Jersey Business Corporations Act (the "NJBCA") which provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be substituted for such a special meeting. Pursuant to Section 14A:5-6 of the NJBCA, a majority of the outstanding shares of voting capital stock entitled to vote thereon is required in order to amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting and in order to effect the Amendment as early as possible in order to accomplish the purposes of the Company as hereafter described, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to utilize the written consent of the holders of a majority in interest of the Voting Capital Stock of the Company. As discussed hereafter, the Board of Directors has recommended the increase in the Company's authorized Common Stock from 10,00,000 to 20,000,000 in order to complete its business plan through future financings.

The record date established by the Company for purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of voting capital stock of the Company is October 15, 2003 (the "Record Date"). On the Record Date, the Company’s officers and directors and Arcon Corp., a corporation wholly owned by Mr. Peter Amico, the Company’s President (collectively the “Affiliates”), own in the aggregate a majority of the Voting Capital Stock, which includes 275,000 shares of Preferred Stock of the Company held by Arcon Corp. Each share of Preferred Stock is entitled to cast 10 votes on all matters brought for shareholder vote. The Affiliates gave their written consent to the adoption of the Amendment described in this Information Statement on or about October __, 2003. The written consent to the Amendment by the majority shareholders becomes effective on upon the filing of the written consent with the Secretary of the Company. The Company will prepare and file a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of New Jersey effecting the increase in the Company's authorized common stock. The Company anticipates that the filing of the Amendment will occur on or about November __, 2003. The date on which this Information Statement was first sent to the stockholders on or about November __, 2003.

Pursuant to Section 14A:5-6 of the NJBCA, the Company is required to and will provide at least 10 days advance written notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting to stockholders who have not consented in writing to such action. No additional action will be undertaken pursuant to such written consents, and no dissenters' rights under the NJBCA are afforded to the Company's stockholders as a result of the adoption of the Amendment.

OUTSTANDING VOTING STOCK OF THE COMPANY

As of the Record Date, there were 8,578,785 shares of Common Stock and 275,000 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters submitted to stockholders. Each share of Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 10 votes on all matters submitted to stockholders.

AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE TO EFFECT INCREASE

AUTHORIZED SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK

GENERALLY.

------------

The Board of Directors of the Company proposes amend paragraph 5 of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, no par value, from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000.

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES.

The Company is currently authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, no par value, of which8,455,538 shares were issued and outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date. The Company will require additional capital to complete its business plan, which includes the commercialization of its omni-directional forklift. In order to complete the plan, the Company will be required to issue additional shares of its Common Stock. The Company has had discussion with a number of investors and a broker-dealer with respect to the sale of its Common Stock, the Company has no present agreement to issue any additional securities. Management of the Company is not aware of any present efforts of any persons to accumulate Common Stock or to obtain control of the Company, and the proposed increase in authorized shares of Common Stock is not intended to be an anti-takeover device. The amendment is being sought solely to augment liquidity, enhance corporate flexibility, and to be more acceptable to the brokerage community and to investors generally.

There can be no assurances, nor can the Board of Directors of the Company predict what effect, if any, these proposed amendments will have on the market price of the Company's Common Stock. The amendments are being sought solely to facilitate addition equity financings of the Company.

NO DISSENTER'S RIGHTS.

Under NJBCA, stockholders are not entitled to dissenter's rights of appraisal with respect to the Company's proposed amendments to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized Common Stock of the Company.

The complete text of the proposed Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is set forth as Exhibit A to this Information Statement.
