CTD Holdings, Inc. (“we” “our” “us” or “the Company”) was organized as a Florida corporation on August 9, 1990, with operations beginning in July 1992. We sell cyclodextrins (“cyclodextrins” or “CDs”) and related products to the food, pharmaceutical, nutritional, and other industries, primarily for use in diagnostics and specialty drugs with continuing growth in research and new product development.  In 2012, we began providing pulse spray drying services to produce raw materials used primarily in industrial and consumer products.  We also provide consulting services in the area of commercialization of CD applications.
 
Cyclodextrins
 
CDs are molecules that bring together oil and water and have potential applications anywhere oil and water must be used together. Successful applications have been made in the areas of agrochemicals, analytical chemistry, biotechnology, cosmetics, diagnostics, electronics, foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and toxic waste treatment. Stabilization of food flavors and fragrances is the largest current worldwide market for CD applications. We and others have developed CD-based applications in stabilization of flavors for food products; elimination of undesirable tastes and odors; preparation of antifungal complexes for foods and pharmaceuticals; stabilization of fragrances and dyes; reduction of foaming in foods, cosmetics and toiletries; and the improvement of quality, stability and storability of foods.
 
CDs can improve the solubility and stability of a wide range of drugs. Many promising drug compounds are unusable or have serious side effects because they are either too unstable or too insoluble in water. Strategies for administering currently approved compounds involve injection of formulations requiring pH adjustment and/or the use of organic solvents. The result is frequently painful, irritating, or damaging to the patient. These side effects can be ameliorated by CDs. CDs also have many potential uses in drug delivery for topical applications to the eyes and skin.  In 2008, one of our Trappsol® cyclodextrins was designated an orphan drug by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  Trappsol® Cyclo™ is the first use of a Cyclodextrin as an active pharmaceutical and not just an inactive formulation excipient.
 
Cyclodextrin Product Background
 
CDs are donut shaped circles of glucose (sugar) molecules. CDs are formed naturally by the action of bacterial enzymes on starch. They were first noticed and isolated in 1891 by a French scientist, Villiers, as he studied rotting potatoes. The bacterial enzyme naturally creates a mixture of at least three different CDs depending on how many glucose units are included in the molecular circle; six glucose units yield Alpha CD (“ACD”); seven units, Beta CD (“BCD”); eight units, Gamma CD (“GCD”). The more glucose units in the molecular circle, the greater the volume of the cavity in the toroid. The inside of this “donut” provides an excellent resting place for “oily” molecules while the outside of the donut is significantly compatible with water enabling clear stable solutions of CDs to exist in aqueous environments even when an “oily” molecule is carried within the donut hole. The net result is a molecular carrier that comes in small, medium, and large sizes with the ability to transport and deliver “oily” materials using plain water as the solvent.  It is the ability of molecular encapsulation of compounds that makes CDs so useful chemically and pharmaceutically.
 
CDs are manufactured in large quantities by mixing appropriate enzymes with starch solutions, thereby reproducing the natural process. ACD, BCD and GCD can be manufactured by an entirely natural process and therefore are considered to be natural products. Additional processing is required to isolate and separate the CDs. The purified ACD, BCD, and GCD are referred to collectively as “natural” or parent CDs (NCDs).
 
The chemical groups on each glucose unit in a CD molecule provide chemists with ways to modify the properties of the CDs, i.e. to make them more water soluble or less water soluble, thereby making them better carriers for a specific chemical. The CDs that result from chemical modifications are no longer considered “natural” and are referred to as chemically modified CDs. Since the property modifications achieved are often so advantageous to a specific application, the Company does not believe the loss of the “natural” product categorization will prevent its ultimate pharmaceutical use. It does, however, create a greater regulatory burden.

Cyclodextrin (CD) Market

The global market demand for CDs continues to grow. A recent study (by QY Research Cyclodextrin Research Center) cites global demand as having almost doubled between 2009 and 2013 from 191,900 metric tons to 353,160 metric tons.  Within the last 10 years, many more European countries have approved the use of CDs in food products. In the United States, major starch companies are renewing their earlier interest in CDs as food and nutraceutical additives. We believe the food additive industry world-wide will continue to increase its use of CDs.

Natural CDs have been confirmed to be generally recognized as safe (“GRAS”) in most of the world, now including the U.S. Moreover, approvals of products containing CDs by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) since 2001 suggest that regulatory approval for new products may be easier in the future. In 2001, Janssen Pharmaceutica, now a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, received FDA approval to market Sporanox®, an antifungal which contained hydroxypropyl BCD. In 2008, one of our clients used our product, Trappsol® HPB, in an FDA approved compassionate use clinical trial for the treatment of Niemann Pick Type C disease. We now sell this product under our Trappsol® product line as “Cyclo™.”  Our customer successfully applied to the FDA to designate Trappsol® Cyclo™ as an orphan drug in the treatment of Niemann Pick Type C disease.  Under the Orphan Drug Act, companies that develop a drug for a disorder affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the United States may seek designation as an orphan drug and, if such application is approved, they have the ability to sell it without competition for seven years, and may get clinical trial tax incentives.  On May 17, 2010, the FDA designated Trappsol® Cyclo™ as an orphan drug for the treatment of Niemann Pick Type C (NPC) disease.

Applications of CDs in personal products and for industrial uses have appeared in many patents and patent applications. Procter & Gamble uses CDs in Bounce®, a popular fabric softener and Febreze®. Avon uses CDs in its dermal preparations using its Age Protective System (APS®). With increased manufacturing capacity and supply the prices of the natural CDs have decreased to the point that use of these materials are considered in even the most price sensitive goods. We believe this will result in increasing demand for commercial uses of cyclodextrins.
 
In Japan, at least twelve pharmaceutical preparations are now marketed which contain CDs; there are also multiple products in Europe and the United States.  The CDs permit the use of all routes of administration. Ease of delivery and improved bioavailability of such well-known drugs as nitroglycerin, dexamethasone, PGE(1&2), and cephalosporin permit these “old” drugs to command new market share and sometimes new patent lives. Because of the value added, it is management’s opinion that the dollar value of the worldwide market for products containing CDs and for complexes of CDs can be a hundred times that of the market sales of the CD itself. This value increment portends opportunities for Company growth in the pharmaceutical grade CDs and in custom CD complexes.
 
Our Cyclodextrin (CD) Products
 
We sell a variety of basic CD products and CD products that have specific properties or that include other chemicals (as a complex, not just a physical mixture).  We have trademarked certain products under our Trappsol®, Aquaplex®, and AP™-Flavor product lines.  The Trappsol® product line includes basic CDs, and CDs with different chemical adducts resulting in more than 100 different CDs. The Aquaplex® product line includes various CDs combined with more than 80 different active ingredients that, only as a complex, then become water soluble; we currently list for sale more than 200 different Aquaplex® products. Historically, substantially all of our sales of Aquaplex® products were to one chemical supply house, Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemical.  The APTM-Flavor product lines are CDs that contain various food flavors.  Sales of Trappsol® and Aquaplex® comprise approximately 99% and 1%, respectively, of our 2013 product sales.  Our sales of APTM-Flavors are not significant and are primarily targeted to the food industry.  The Trappsol® and Aquaplex® products can be used in many industries, the largest being the food and pharmaceutical industries.  We do not have any other registered trademarks and do not have any patents or licenses.

We have protected our service and trade marks by registering them with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.  These trademarks add additional visibility to our products and reputation as a leader in the industry. Our website at www.cyclodex.com has grown to be an important cyclodextrin information Internet site.

Natural and chemically modified CDs are available from at least four major commercial manufacturers around the world, including Wacker Biosolutions, a division of Wacker Chemie AG (Germany), with a production facility located in Adrian, Michigan; Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (Japan); Roquettes Freres (France); and Hangzhou Pharma and Chem Co. (China).  Historically, we have purchased all of our Aquaplex® CD complex products from Cyclodextrin Research & Development Laboratory, which is located in Budapest, Hungary; there are few, if any, other sources in the world for commercial quantities of current Good Manufacturing Practice (c-GMP) CD complexes.  Prior to July 2011, we were the exclusive distributor in North America of products for Cyclodextrin Research & Development Laboratory.  We purchase many of our CD complexes (Aquaplex®)  from Cyclodextrin Research & Development Laboratory.  In 2008, we also began purchasing some CD complexes from Equinox Chemical in Albany, Georgia.   We historically have not had difficulties obtaining natural and chemically modified CDs from our suppliers and we do not expect to experience any difficulties obtaining adequate CDs for our current and expected expanded future needs.  We believe that our new pulse drying facility will allow us to produce almost all of our CD complexes for our Aquaplex® product line ourselves, and produce private label products for others, reducing our dependence on others for our CD complexes.

We built our c-GMP pulse drying facility, completed in 2012, to combine CDs with other ingredients to produce our Aquaplex® products rather than have them produced by others, and to allow for a more cost efficient production and shorter lead time of larger bulk quantities (metric tons).  While we have not yet used the pulse drying facility to produce our own CD complexes for our Aquaplex® product line, we expect to begin doing so in 2014. Pulse drying is a proprietary spray drying technology that uses a pulse combustion engine similar to those used in natural gas furnaces to dry aqueous liquid solutions and slurries into fine powder. It has the advantage of being very energy efficient, using only 1/3 the energy of conventional spray dryers. It is also a very gentle drying technique that produces freeze-dried quality material on a continuous basis at a much lower cost than conventional freeze drying. We believe there is an unmet demand for sales of larger quantities of CD complexes.  We will develop specific SOPs (standard operating procedures) for producing our pulse dried Aquaplex® products that will be protected as trade secrets.  We intend to seek process patent protection for these processes if and when possible.  The new facility also enables us to produce large commercial quantities for large customers of all types of CD materials.

We have introduced many products into our basic line of CDs and CD complexes, including liquid preparations of Trappsol® CDs and Aquaplex®, relatively unprocessed, less expensive mixtures of the natural CDs; naturally modified CDs (glucosyl and maltosyl); and excess production quantities of custom complexes when those items are not proprietary or restricted by the customer.
 
Business Strategy
 
Substantially all of our revenues are derived from the sales of CDs, CD complexes, resale of CDs manufactured by others for our clients to their specifications, and our own licensed CD products.  We currently sell our products directly to customers in the diagnostics, pharmaceutical, food and industrial chemical industries, as well as to chemical supply distributors.  In 2012, we began offering pulse drying services.  To date, we have had only one pulse drying order, in the first quarter of 2012. We are currently planning manufacturing campaigns to produce ultra-pure cyclodextrin derivatives for the cell culture market and have two large customers that have expressed interest in sourcing this material from the Company.
 
Our historical business model has been primarily reselling basic CD products, which have the least value-added attributes.  Our strategy going forward is to increase sales by transitioning to the more value-added complexes and maintaining profitability as good margins can be maintained for these products.
 
We market and sell CDs and related products to the food, pharmaceutical, and other industries.   Our revenues are principally from the sales of chemically modified CDs.  For the year ended December 31, 2013, basic natural and chemically modified CDs represented approximately 99% of our product sales.  CD complexes represented less than 1% of our 2013 product sales.

Our sales historically involve small quantities (i.e., less than 1.0  Kg).  We sell directly to our customers, package the orders at our facility and ship using common carriers.  We expect to sell larger quantities in the future now that our pulse drying facility is completed.

We continue to generate substantially all of our sales from five to ten customers who have historically been repeat purchasers.   In 2013, two customers (UNO Healthcare, Inc. and Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemical, Inc.) accounted for more than 10% each of our total revenue, and collectively for 60% of our total revenue.  In 2012, four customers (UNO Healthcare, Inc., Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemical, Inc., Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (Thermo Scientific Microgenics) and Qiagen Sciences, LLC) accounted for more than 10% each of our total revenue, and collectively for 56% of our total revenue.  Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemical, Inc. accounts for almost 100% of our annual sales of Aquaplex®. In a year we typically sell to fewer than 200 individual customers.

Our customer trend is moving to long-term or sole source contracts with our customers.  In 2012, we signed a four-year supplier agreement for  Trappsol® HPB with Siemens Corporation. We also have scheduled supply agreements with two other customers.  Our customers buy products from us as needed primarily for product research and development purposes.  Therefore, it is difficult to predict future sales, as it is dependent on the current CD related research and development activities of others, which we have monitored in the past by following  the issuance and applications of patents in the US and elsewhere.
 
We have identified pulse drying as a technology that promises benefits for turning commercial quantities of aqueous (liquid) solutions of Trappsol® CDs and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients and other ingredients into solid materials, more economically and with less degradation to the materials from the drying process, leaving the CD and ingredient in a complexed powder form that can be readily used by our customers to mix into their specific product formulations in triturate form. In 2012 we completed construction of a c-GMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) facility and installed a pulse drying system to manufacture commercial quantities of CD complexes.  These products will meet current food and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (“API”) production standards and will be sold using our Trappsol® and Aquaplex® product marks.  API production quality standards are higher than those for foods but somewhat less stringent than those for finished pharmaceutical dosage manufacturers.  In 2014, to the extent we are able to utilize our pulse drying facility, this facility will allow for further business diversification in our continued transition to the more value-added complexes where we expect growing demand and little competition initially, and will add product manufacturing to our current sales distribution business. With the addition of our pulse dryer, we expect to expand and diversify our product offerings.  We expect over time this will result in less volatility in our sales due to lower dependence on our cyclical research and development customers.
 
The pulse drying technology allows production of CD complexes (Aquaplex®) in larger quantities, with shorter lead times and at competitive retail and wholesale prices.  Pulse drying provides significant production advantages, such as more efficient and therefore economical removal of water and faster system cleaning and production changes to a different product compared to conventional freeze dry and traditional spray drying techniques now used in the industry.  We expect to gain manufacturing efficiencies with our facility designed for pulse drying with continuous production runs and less down time for cleaning.  Currently, existing industrial product drying facilities are very old, have higher operating costs, and are less flexible to changes in production runs.  We are developing proprietary production methods that will be designed to give us additional competitive advantages.
 
Even though our pulse drying facility is now operational, we have not to date been able to take advantage of the capacity that it gives us.  We can provide no assurances we will be successful in increasing our sales volume through increased utilization of our pulse dryer.
 
We intend to continue promoting the use of Trappsol® and Aquaplex® products in the research and product development activities of existing and new customers and clients. We plan to pursue licensing rights created as a result of the research work conducted using our products.  We will also look for opportunities to develop our own new products; including conducting our own research and development activities and creating a commission based sales force.

Marketing Plan
 
We believe the failure of businesses to exchange and/or disseminate information about CD based product development has hindered a more rapid commercialization of CDs in spite of their safety as excipients. We believe our philosophy of partnering and sharing will act as a catalyst to create momentum overcoming the resistance to change created by the previous conservatism and secrecy. Now that we are able to provide bulk quantities of Aquaplex® products using proprietary technology, we are urging pharmaceutical companies more persuasively to incorporate these Aquaplex® products into their existing and new drug formulations, as a result of the reduction in product development and clinical trial costs provided by the greater availability of water soluble API(s) in bulk quantities.
 
Our sales have always been volatile and driven by the interest and acceptance of CDs as beneficial excipients.  Existing relationships with large laboratory supply companies and several diagnostic companies have provided a strong sales base, that continues to diversify as interest and acceptance of CDs grow.

We have taken advantage of the propensity of researchers to use the Internet to gather information about new products by establishing a website with the unique, descriptive and long-standing domain name, “cyclodex.com”.

We intend to continue to work with clients in European and Asian countries which usually employ basic CDs as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) excipients.  Now that certain chemically modified CDs (in our case Trappsol® HPB) have been accepted as safe and non-hazardous for human use in large part due to their designation as an orphan drug by the FDA, we intend to pursue new sales in the European and Asian markets.  We are creating new products under our trademarks Trappsol® and Aquaplex® that may be used by other manufacturers wishing to take advantage of specific beneficial properties of our products that require no further processing, i.e., may be added directly to formulations.
 
We will evaluate and pursue patent opportunities that may present themselves, so that we may sublicense such rights to others or use them to develop our own proprietary products. We intend to generate revenue from sub-licensing royalties, sales of CD complexes to be used in new and existing pharmaceuticals; and direct sales to end-users.
 
A tertiary focus after pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications is to promote our products to the “3 F” (fragrance, flavors, and food) companies.  Price is a primary concern in these markets, but unlike pharmaceuticals where FDA permission for clinical testing may be obtained before actual FDA product approval, food companies cannot feed experimental formulations to test panels of consumers until the ingredients, i.e., the CDs and/or CD complexes, receive approval for human consumption.  These questions will initially be explored using NCDs since commercial adoption will depend heavily upon the price of the CD selected and NCDs will always be the least  expensive.  The benefits derived from the use of CDs with expensive ingredients (e.g., flavors, fragrances, pharmaceuticals) have already become accepted commercial uses for chemically modified CDs and naturally modified CDs.
 
We have increased our business development efforts with a goal to conduct Aquaplex® drying campaigns in 2014.
 
As we move into 2014, our focus continues to be increasing revenues.  We intend to promote our e-commerce website for CTD, Inc., www.cyclodex.com by adding a blog and instructional videos.  We are now able to supply our existing products in larger quantities, largely through our pulse drying facility.  We will showcase our commercial supply capabilities by adding an e-commerce presence for our NanoSonic Products, Inc. division.  Our initial goal is to increase the visibility of our existing products and enhanced capabilities to our existing customers.  Our second goal is to improve visibility to new customers and seek out new product opportunities that are compatible with our expanded capabilities.

We will also continue to seek market channel partners like Uno Healthcare and Medical Need Europe to expand distribution of our high margin products.

Competition
 
We have noted increased competition, especially in the eCommerce space, for the distribution of small quantities of cyclodextrins. Those we have examined are small operations or small offerings of a larger distributor that lack the focus and depth of expertise offered by the Company. They are also most often not price competitive with our products. Furthermore the traffic and SEO ranking of the eCommerce sites indicate that their visibility and sales are low. We believe there is a perceived barrier to entry into the CD industry because of the lack of general experience with CDs. We have established informal business relationships with many of the producers and consumers of CDs worldwide and we have amassed over the more than 20 years of our existence an unmatched experience database. We believe these relationships and market knowledge provide significant advantages in marketing lead time, and combined with a strong marketing presence and adequate capitalization will give us a two- to three-year lead time advantage over our competitors.
 
Research and Development
 
We do not currently conduct, nor have we historically conducted, research and development activities on our own, or on behalf of or jointly with our customers.  Accordingly, we do not have any research and development costs and are not liable for any of our client’s research and development costs.  We expect to conduct future in-house research and development as funds allow and balanced with operational requirements to keep our pulse drying facility busy more hours of each day.  Our research and development is expected to be related to both our production processes and in developing additional products to sell and/or license to our customers.

Government Regulation
 
Under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (or FDA) is given comprehensive authority to regulate the development, production, distribution, labeling and promotion of food and drugs. The FDA’s authority includes the regulation of the labeling and purity of the company’s food and drug products. In the event the FDA believes any company is not in compliance with the law, the FDA can institute proceedings to detain or seize products, enjoin future violations or assess civil and/or criminal penalties against that Company.
 
The FDA and comparable agencies in foreign countries impose substantial requirements upon the introduction of therapeutic drug products through lengthy and detailed laboratory and clinical testing procedures, sampling activities and other costly and time consuming procedures. The extent of potentially adverse government regulations which might arise from future legislation or administrative action cannot be predicted.

One product, Trappsol® Cyclo™, has been granted orphan drug status by the FDA. It has been used by a limited number of customers for the treatment of Niemann Pick Type C (NPC) disease under the supervision of a physician following an Investigational New Drug (IND) protocol approved by the FDA.   All of our other products are sold for our customers’ research and development purposes only, and do not require FDA approval. Any use in humans as a drug or food product would require compliance with FDA regulations. Under present FDA regulations, FDA defines drugs as “articles intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease in man.” The Company’s product development strategy is to first introduce a product that will not be regulated by the FDA as a drug because all of its ingredients are natural products or is GRAS by the FDA. These basic natural CD products are commonly known as “Alpha”, “Beta” and “Gamma”. These products represent approximately 10% of our annual sales. Hydroxypropyl derivatives of Beta CD are considered GRAS in other countries and there continues to be conscientious efforts to make this derivative and other CD derivatives GRAS in the U.S.  There is no assurance that the FDA will not take the position that the Company’s food and nutritional supplement products are subject to regulations relating to drug development and sale. Any such determination would significantly affect our sales and limit or prohibit distribution of such products.

Employees
 
We employed five people on a full-time basis in 2013. We expect to hire additional employees when our pulse drying facility operating time increases.  None of our employees belong to a union.  We believe relations with our employees are good.

Capital Structure
 
In 2004, we authorized a series of “blank check” preferred stock consisting of 5,000,000 shares and creating a series of Series A Preferred Stock consisting of a single share that was issued to Mr. Strattan, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in exchange for the surrender of 1,029,412 shares of Common Stock then owned by him. The most significant right of the Series A Preferred Stock was the right to vote with the holders of Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders, with shares of Series A Preferred Stock being entitled to vote one more than one-half of all votes entitled to be cast by all holders of voting capital stock of the Company on any matter submitted to holders of common shares. This ensured that the votes entitled to be cast by Mr. Strattan as the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock were equal to at least one more than a majority of the total of all votes entitled to be cast by the holders of common shares and the preferred share together.

Subsequent to the end of the 2013 fiscal year, on February 19, 2014, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors under which we issued 10,000,000 shares of its common stock, at a purchase price of $0.05 per share, in exchange for $500,000 (the “Private Placement”).

In connection with the closing of the Private Placement, Mr. Strattan converted his share of Series A Preferred Stock into one million shares of our common stock.  By its terms, the Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock to be agreed mutually by the Company and the holder at the time of conversion. The conversion was effected through a Conversion Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2014, between the Company and Mr. Strattan. The conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock was a condition to the closing of the Private Placement.
 
 
We have made a substantial capital investment in our pulse drying facility, and if we are unable to utilize its capacity effectively, we may be unable to cover the expenses associated with it.

We have invested approximately $1,340,000 in our pulse dryer, a solar electric renewable energy system, and a solar thermal collection system.  We have made one production run with our dryer since it began operation in the first quarter of 2012, with a contract for $57,000 in that quarter. We do not currently have any toll drying orders outstanding. We have not been successful to date in selling additional pulse drying services, nor have we to date been able to utilize the pulse drying facility for the manufacture of our own CD complexes.  If we are unable to utilize the capacity offered by our pulse drying facility, we may be unable to service the debt we incurred to complete it or the expense we incur to maintain it. Our focus on marketing efforts relating to pulse drying services may also take our management’s time and attention away from our historical revenue sources. If we are unable to effectively utilize the facility, our business and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
 
Two of our customers account for a substantial portion of our revenue, and the loss of one or both of these customers would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and reduce our ability to service our debt obligations.

Our single largest customer accounted for 49% of our total sales in fiscal 2013. Our largest two customers collectively accounted for approximately 60% of total sales in fiscal 2013. We have a supply contract with only one of our major customers. The loss of any one of these customers would have a material adverse effect on our financial results if we were unable to replace such customer(s). In addition, our ability to service our debt obligations would be negatively impacted because timely payments by these major customers are sometimes crucial to cash flow.

We are dependent on certain third-party suppliers.

We purchase the Trappsol® CD products we sell from third-party suppliers and even though our pulse drying facility is operational we will continue to depend on those manufacturers for the CD’s we use in our Aquaplex® products. Some Aquaplex products will be made in less than one kilogram quantities; and for these we will still depend on outside manufacturers that use lyophilization techniques.  However, we anticipate that many of our currently sold Aquaplex® products will be able to be made in small bulk quantities in our pulse dryer and inventoried, thereby reducing dependence on third party manufacturers for the greatest part of these current and growing Aquaplex® sales.  We purchase 99% of our Trappsol® products from bulk manufacturers and distributors in the U.S., Japan, China, and Europe. Although products are available from multiple sources, an unexpected interruption of supply or, material increases in the price of products, for any reason, such as regulatory requirements, import restrictions, loss of certifications, power interruptions, fires, hurricanes, war or other events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our earnings and cash flows are influenced by currency fluctuations due to the geographic diversity of our suppliers, which may have a significant impact on our financial results.  As we buy inventory from foreign suppliers, the change in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Euro, Yen and Yuan has an effect on our cost of inventory, and will continue to do so. We buy most of our products from outside the U.S. using U.S. dollars. Our main supplier of specialty CDs and complexes, Cyclodextrin Research & Development Laboratory, is located in Hungary and its prices are set in Euros. The cost of our bulk inventory often changes due to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar. These products represent a significant portion of our revenues. When we experience short-term increases in currency fluctuation or supplier price increases, we are often not able to raise our prices sufficiently to maintain our historical margins and therefore, our margins on these sales may decline. If the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our substantial debt could adversely affect our financial health.

As of December 31, 2013, we owed approximately $852,000 in long term debt.  The terms of our two notes are seven and ten years.  Our total monthly payment of principal and interest is $7,557, which we expect to pay out of operating cash flow.  We are required to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of EBITDA to interest expense plus prior period current maturities greater than 1.3:1.

This indebtedness could have important consequences. For example, it could:

●
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic, industry and competitive conditions;
●
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, growth and other capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;
●
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
●
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and
●
limit our ability to borrow additional funds.

We may need additional capital to grow our operations as planned.

For year ended December 31, 2013, we generated approximately $557,000 of cash from operations that was sufficient to fund our normal operations.  On February 19, 2014, we received $500,000 and issued 10,000,000 shares of our common stock in a private placement. To achieve our production goals for 2014 and beyond, additional capital may be required to meet our projected cash needs to otherwise grow our business as planned.  If we are unable to generate additional cash flow or obtain additional debt financing or capital as needed, we may not be able to develop our business as planned and/or may be compelled to slow down the pace necessary to achieve our stated goals.

We are significantly influenced by one person who controls a significant majority of our voting stock.

As of March 3, 2014, C.E. Rick Strattan, our Chief Executive Officer, held the power to vote 25,687,647 shares of Common Stock (including 19,837,647 shares of Common Stock held directly by Mr. Strattan and 5,850,000 shares of Common Stock owned by TFBU, Inc., a tax exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code over which Mr. Strattan has sole voting and dispositive power), or approximately 52.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Accordingly, Mr. Strattan has the power to influence or control the outcome of important corporate decisions or matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. Although Mr. Strattan owes the Company certain fiduciary duties as an executive officer and director of the Company, the interests of Mr. Strattan here may conflict with, or differ from, the interests of other holders of our capital stock.  Under a Voting Agreement between Mr. Strattan and us dated February 19, 2014, he has agreed to vote his shares of Common Stock for the slate of directors nominated by the Company’s board, which slate will be required to include two representatives of investors in the private placement consummated on the same date.  This arrangement could have the effect of preventing a change of control of the Company.  Mr. Strattan may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us. So long as Mr. Strattan has the power to vote a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock, he will have the power to significantly influence and/or control all our corporate decisions and will be able to effect or inhibit changes in control of the Company.
 
We are dependent on our executive officers and other key personnel, and we may not be able to pursue our current business strategy effectively if we lose them.

Our success to date has largely depended on the efforts and abilities of our executive officers and certain other key employees, including C.E. Rick Strattan our Chief Executive Officer, and Jeffrey L. Tate, Ph.D., our President. Our ability to manage our operations and meet our business objectives could be adversely affected if, for any reason, such officers or employees do not remain with us.

We do not have a majority independent board of directors or independent audit committee.

Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of five people, three of whom are employed by the Company. Accordingly, a majority of our directors do not qualify as “independent” using the definition set forth in the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Although we recently constituted a standing audit committee, it is not independent.  Although our directors are subject to the fiduciary duties imposed on Board members pursuant to Florida law, our shareholders do not have the protection afforded by a board with a majority of independent directors and an independent audit committee which are some of the traditional procedural safeguards that protect the interests of minority shareholders.  Our lack of independent directors on our board of directors may also make decisions of our board of directors more prone to legal claims or shareholder criticism than if made by a board of directors with more independent board members.

Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our Common Stock because it is considered a penny stock and is subject to the penny stock rules.

Our Common Stock currently constitutes “penny stock.”  Subject to certain exceptions, for the purposes relevant to us, “penny stock” includes any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share.  Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain brokers-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a “penny stock.”  In particular, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse), must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.

The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.

As an issuer of “Penny Stock” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.

Although the federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, if we are a penny stock, we will not have the benefit of this particular safe harbor protection in the event of any claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.
 
We have a limited market for our securities.

Although certain market makers facilitate trades of our Common Stock on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets Group (“OTCQB”), there is currently a limited market for shares of our Common Stock and we cannot be certain that an active market will develop.  The lack of an active public market could have a material adverse effect on the price and liquidity of our Common Stock.  Broker-dealers often decline to trade in OTCQB stocks given that the market for such securities is often limited, the stocks are more volatile, and the risk to investors is greater. Consequently, selling our Common Stock may be difficult because smaller quantities of shares can be bought and sold, transactions can be delayed and securities analyst and news media coverage of our Company may be reduced. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for shares of our Common Stock as well as lower trading volume. Investors should realize that they may be unable to sell shares of our Common Stock that they purchase. Accordingly, investors must be able to bear the financial risk of losing their entire investment in our Common Stock.

In September 2010, we purchased a 7,200 sq. ft. building on approximately two acres in the City of Alachua, Florida for $468,000.  The property is located in an established industrial park that we determined is more suitable for our pulse drying facility.   During 2011 we moved our corporate headquarters to this facility.  The property allows for future expansion.  We refinanced our current mortgage in July 2013 with monthly payments of $3,506, including interest at 3.99%, with a final balloon payment of $349,908 due July 2023.

During 2011 we installed a pulse dryer at a cost of $1,151,000.  The property’s federal tax depreciation basis, rate, and method are, respectively, $1,151,000, 5 years, and accelerated.

In 2000, we bought a series of buildings totaling approximately 6,000 sq. ft. on approximately 40 acres near the City of High Springs, Florida, for $210,000. Prior to September 30, 2011, we used the property as our corporate headquarters.  We are currently offering this property for sale for $400,000.  During 2011, we changed the property’s classification to held for sale and discontinued recognizing depreciation.  In 2013, we recorded an impairment charge of $95,456.

Our properties are in a region that is experiencing moderate population and development growth. We believe the current insurance coverage is adequate for the properties.  As additional development continues, we will increase our insurance coverage.
 
 
From time to time, we are a party to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Our management evaluates our exposure to these claims and proceedings individually and in the aggregate and allocates additional monies for potential losses on such litigation if it is possible to estimate the amount of loss and if the amount of the loss is probable.

In October 1994, the Company’s securities began trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and in the over-the-counter market “pink sheets” under the name Cyclodextrin Technologies Development, Inc., or CTDI.   In conjunction with a restructuring in 2000, we changed the name of CTDI to CTD Holdings, Inc; CTDI was then incorporated as a Florida corporation and became a wholly owned subsidiary of CTD Holdings, Inc.   CTD Holdings, Inc. currently trades on the OTCQB under the symbol CTDH. Since the commencement of trading of the company’s securities, there has been an extremely limited market for its securities.

Introduction
 
We began operations in 1990. Substantially all of our revenues are derived from the resale of cyclodextrins and cyclodextrin complexes manufactured by third parties for us.  Our sales are primarily to chemical supply houses around the world, pharmaceutical companies, food companies for research and development and to diagnostics companies.  We acquire our products principally from outside the United States, including from Wacker Biosolutions, a division of Wacker Chemie AG (Germany), with a production facility located in Adrian, Michigan and Hangzhou Pharma and Chem Co. (China), and Cyclodextrin Research & Development Laboratory (Hungary), but are gradually finding satisfactory supply sources in the United States.  While we enjoy lower supply prices from outside the United States, changes in shipping costs for our current order quantities and currency exchange rates are making domestic sources more competitively priced. We make patent information about CDs available to our customers. We also offer our customers our knowledge of the properties and potential new uses of cyclodextrins and complexes.

As most of our customers use our cyclodextrin products in their research and development activities, the timing, product mix, and volume of their orders from us are unpredictable.  We also have four large customers (each who historically has purchased from us annually and, depending upon the year, may account for greater than 10% of our annual revenues) who have a significant effect on our revenues when they increase or decrease their research and development activities that use cyclodextrins.  We keep in constant contact with these customers as to their cyclodextrin needs so we can maintain the proper inventory composition and quantity in anticipation of their needs.  The sales to large customers and the product mix and volume of products sold has a significant effect on our revenues and product margins. These factors contribute to our potentially significant revenue volatility from quarter to quarter and year to year.

Pulse Drying Services

In 2010, we acquired a new building. In 2011, we installed a pulse dryer system to manufacture CD complexes, which we started operating in January 2012 as part of NanoSonic Products, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary. We currently offer the following pulse drying services: (i) drying customer supplied material that includes cyclodextrins, (ii) drying customer supplied material that does not include cyclodextrins and (iii) drying customer supplied active ingredients in which we will provide cyclodextrins as an added component. We are currently qualifying suppliers of cyclodextrin raw materials to expand our services to include production of ultrapure cyclodextrin products using proprietary purification technology developed in-house and our pulse dryer to convert liquid into dry powdered products. Our NanoSonic Products, Inc. division will be the manufacturer of record for the ultrapure grades of cyclodextrins. Customers for ultrapure grades of cyclodextrins include cell culture supply producers, medical diagnostic test kit manufacturers and pharmaceutical formulation developers. We will continue to work on developing commercial-scale business opportunities for Aquaplex® water soluble complexes for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and nutritional applications. We view these two lines of business as being compatible. We completed one toll drying contract in the first quarter of 2012. Currently, we do not have any toll drying orders outstanding.

Trappsol® Cyclo™

At the end of 2008, we provided a Trappsol® product to a customer for a compassionate use Investigational New Drug to treat a set of twins in the US who were diagnosed with Niemann Pick C (“NPC”). NPC is also called Childhood Alzheimer’s. It is a fatal disease caused by a genetic defect that prevents proper handling of cholesterol in the body’s cells. The patient’s treatment with our Trappsol® HPB (now called Trappsol® Cyclo™) proved to provide an ameliorative benefit. On May 17, 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) granted orphan drug status to our customer for Trappsol® Cyclo™ for the treatment of Niemann Pick Type C (NPC) disease. Our annual sales of Trappsol® Cyclo™ increased to $875,000 for 2013 from $263,000 for 2012. We expect our sales of this drug product will increase in 2014.

We ordered 2,500 100ml vials of Trappsol® Cyclo™ in a liquid form from a contract manufacturer that we began shipping to our customers in November 2012. We ordered an additional 2,500 vials to be delivered to us in the first quarter of 2014. This product currently has a six month stability claim and we are implementing an accelerated study to support a twenty-four month stability claim expected to cost $64,000. Once we order a third batch of vials, and we assemble the validation data, we plan to increase the quantity of future batches to reduce our unit cost.

Other Sterile Liquid Products

We have utilized the manufacturing processes developed as part of our Cyclo™  product development to create new sterile liquid solutions of selected Trappsol® and Aquaplex® products for the life science research market. We are completing the manufacture of 500 vials each of our two best selling research grade Trappsol® products in liquid form to be delivered to us in the first quarter of 2014.

For the foreseeable future sterile liquid products, including our Trappsol® Cyclo™ product, will be manufactured at Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMO’s) that have this specialty manufacturing technology in place. The work will be done using our raw materials and Standard Operation Procedures for the manufacturing will be approved by us.

Future Initiatives for Business and Product Development

In December 2013, our updated eCommerce web site and online catalog of cyclodextrin research fine chemicals was completed for our CTD, Inc. division. This site has been a consistent source of sales and customer contact and will be improved for sales functionality, site security, and SEO parameters. Our updated eCommerce site was operating by the end of the fourth quarter of 2013.

We believe we have identified an unmet need for commercial quantities of ultra pure cyclodextrins that can be filled using the proprietary manufacturing capabilities of our NanoSonic Products division. Work on qualifying a trade secret purification system is completed. Suppliers of suitable raw materials for these operations are being evaluated and will be qualified for contract supply in the first quarter of 2014

The second generation formulation of Trappsol® Cyclo™, the orphan drug developed by our Sphingo Biotechnology division, is currently being sold. We have identified significant potential for growth in the South American market and are pursuing those opportunities. We are also conducting the validation of manufacturing batches that will be used in on-going stability studies and for the filing of a Drug Master File with U.S. FDA. Progress on these efforts is steady and the pace is driven by the rate of sales.

We continue to pursue projects in environmental remediation through our Ferrazo Environmental Technology division. We have identified two potential projects and are in negotiations to apply our cyclodextrin-based Ferrazo products to soil clean-up projects. If these negotiations result in a sales contract, we expect that this environmental remediation work will require metric ton quantities of low cost technical grade cyclodextrin raw materials. Our representatives will be traveling to Asia in 2014 to meet with and qualify suppliers of large quantities of the required raw materials. We are also investigating the establishment of a Foreign Trade Zone at our Alachua site that would be sponsored by the Port of Jacksonville, FL. A Foreign Trade Zone may have the benefit of reducing tariff costs when importing and converting large quantities of cyclodextrin raw materials from Asia.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our cash increased to $269,000 as of December 31, 2013, from $23,000 at December 31, 2012. We have not experienced and do not expect to have any valuation issues or access restrictions to our cash accounts.  Our increase in cash was due primarily to our increase in sales. Our working capital is $420,000 at December 31, 2013 compared to our negative position of ($15,000) at December 31, 2012.  This improvement in our working capital is due to our strong sales and net income for 2013 and refinancing our debt in July 2013.  We do not expect any disruption in operations due to our working capital position.   Our cash flow from operations for 2013 was $557,000 compared to $59,000 for 2012.  This increase in cash from operations was due primarily to our increase in sales.

On February 19, 2014, we received $500,000 and issued 10,000,000 shares of our common stock in a private placement.  We plan to use these proceeds for business development purposes, including the expansion of our e-commerce sales; production of ultra-pure cyclodextrin derivatives for the research, cosmetic, and medical industries; and completion of the Drug Master File for the Trappsol(R) Cyclo(TM) orphan drug.
 
We continue to maintain inventory levels sufficient for one year of sales of Trappsol® HPB (THPB), which represented 77% of our sales in 2013. We maintain a larger inventory of THPB based on our estimate of future industry purchase trends and recent product inquiries from our larger customers. This product has a three week or more lead time to acquire from our regular foreign suppliers in bulk quantities. Because we maintain a larger inventory of these products in stock, we have an increased opportunity to fill any large orders we may receive. Due to increased shipping costs, it is also less costly to buy and ship larger quantities from our suppliers. If these large orders do not materialize, we believe we can sell this product in the normal course of business.

In July 2013, we refinanced all of our approximately $875,000 long-term debt.  Our equipment loan was for $296,000 with a seven year amortization, and our mortgage was approximately $579,000 with a ten year amortization with a balloon payment of $350,000 due in July 2023.  We reduced our interest rate to 3.99% on each and our combined monthly payment is $7,557.  The loans are secured by all equipment of the Company and the Company’s corporate offices in Alachua, Florida, respectively. The mortgage loan has a debt service coverage requirement under which we may not permit the ratio of (a) EBITDA, as defined in the loan agreement, to (b) interest expense and prior period current maturities of long-term debt to be less than 1.3x, measured annually.

We also refinanced our $100,000 line of credit with an interest rate of the higher of prime plus 1.8% or 4.75%. There was no balance outstanding at December 31, 2013 compared to $94,000 outstanding at December 31, 2012 under our prior line.

Our High Springs property is currently offered for sale at $400,000.

In September 2012, we received $50,000 for 314,465 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 314,465 of common stock at $0.25 per share.

In September 2010, we purchased a 7,200 sq. ft. building with a 36 foot ceiling on approximately two acres for $468,000.  The property is located in an established industrial park.  In 2011, we capitalized $1,151,000 in equipment and improvements for the new building and pulse drying operation.

In November 2011, we installed a solar electric renewable energy system on the rooftop of our pulse drying building.  The system is designed to generate 140 KWH of electric power and generate more electricity than we expect to consume under normal operations, giving our facility a zero-energy footprint.  We have an interconnect agreement and net metering agreement with the Alachua Municipal Electric Utility to take excess electricity generation, and we receive a rebate for the excess generation. The cost of the solar equipment and installation was $186,000 and we received $99,000 in Federal and other grants.

During 2013, we installed a new roof on our Alachua building at a cost of $19,000 paid out of cash from operations. The roof includes solar tubes to provide lighting in areas without windows and reduce electrical lighting.  In November 2013, we began installation of a solar thermal collection system and supporting structures to harvest thermal energy from the sun and use it to produce domestic hot water, process hot water, space heating, and heat energy for an intake air system to supply the pulse dryer. This project includes construction to allow roof access for maintenance of all of our solar collector arrays. It has a collection capacity estimated at 24,000 BTU/hour in full sun. We have invested approximately $62,000 to date paid out of cash from operations.   We expect the total cost to be $70,000.  We expect the system to be operational in the first quarter of 2014.  In November 2013, we began the installation of an ultra pure filtration system to enhance our pulse dryer capability.  We have invested $6,000 paid out of cash from operations through December 31, 2013 and expect the total cost to be $40,000.  The filter installation will be completed in the first quarter of 2014.

We have no plans to materially increase our pulse drying capacity unless and until our existing dryer exceeds 70% utilization. If we do expand our capacity, our current plan for additional drying capacity includes the installation of an additional three pulse dryers, one at 500K btu/hr and two at 1MM btu/hr; adding these three additional drying units would increase our current drying capacity by a factor of 26.  We currently estimate that a 500K btu/hr drying unit would cost approximately $2.5 million to install.  We do not have current estimates for the cost of a 1MM btu/hr drying unit, but the cost is likely to exceed $2.5 million each. When and if we proceed with any capacity expansion, we intend to use operating revenues, debt financing, equity capital or some combination of those sources for additional capital. We can give no assurances that our existing drying unit will be utilized sufficiently to warrant such an expansion in capacity, or if it is that we would be able to arrange funding on acceptable terms in order to increase our drying capacity through the installation of additional dryers.
 
At December 31, 2013, we have approximately $882,000 in net operating loss carryforwards that can be used to offset our current and future taxable net income and reduce our income tax liabilities. We recorded a deferred tax asset of $120,000 based on our expected future profitability and ability to utilize some of the net operating losses before they expire.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2013.
 
Results of Operations
 
For 2013, we reported net income of $205,000, compared to net income in 2012 of $74,000.
 
Controlling cash expenses continues to be management’s primary fiscal tool. However, growth requires increased expenditures and we have determined during our current growth stage to engage consultants that can help the Company in financial areas outside its expertise; these consulting fees will act to reduce profitability. We have been able to increase revenues to balance these new expenses, but cannot be sure such effort will be sufficient in the short term to sustain our favorable cash flow.

Comparability of Cost of Products Sold and Gross Margin
 
Our gross margins may not be comparable to those of other entities, since some entities include all the costs related to their distribution network in cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold includes only the cost of products sold and does not include any allocation of inbound or outbound freight charges, indirect overhead expenses, warehouse and distribution expenses, or depreciation and amortization expense. We have two employees who provide receiving, inspection, warehousing and shipping operations for us. The cost of these employees, and our other employees, are included in personnel expense. Our other costs of warehousing and shipping functions are included in office and other expense.
 
2013 compared to 2012
 
Total revenues for 2013 were $1,693,000 compared to $1,045,000 for 2012.  Our 2012 revenues for drying services were $57,000.  We did not have any drying service revenue in 2013.  We completed our first drying order in the first quarter of 2012 for $57,000 and we dried 2,290 Kg of randomly methylated beta cyclodextrin for a European cyclodextrin manufacturer.  We also purchased 154 Kg of this dried product for sale to one of our customers.  Total product sales for 2013 were $1,693,000, a 71% increase over 2012 product sales of $988,000. Our 2013 product sales were the highest reported in our history, and 2012 represented our third highest product sales total. Our recent sales increases are due primarily to recent publicity regarding use of Trappsol® Cyclo™ to treat NPC.

Our change in the mix of our product sales for 2013 and 2012 follows:

Trappsol® HPB
Our sales of Trappsol® HPB were $413,000 for 2013 compared to $410,000 for 2012.  We have experienced steady interest in this product and expect our 2014 annual sales to exceed our 2013 annual sales.

Trappsol ® Cyclo™
Our sales of Trappsol® Cyclo™ increased by 233% to $875,000 for 2013 from $263,000 for 2012.  Our sales to a customer who exports Trappsol® Cyclo™ to South America were $835,000 (95% of total sales of Trappsol® Cyclo™) for 2013. Our annual 2012 sales to this customer were $225,000 (86% of total 2012 sales of Trappsol® Cyclo™). This product is designated as an orphan drug; the population of patients is small and while we expect our future sales to increase, the timing of sales will be unpredictable and our ability to market the drug for use other than research is severely constrained by regulatory restrictions in the applicable jurisdictions. We developed a liquid form of Trappsol® Cyclo™, which eliminated the need for a compounding pharmacist to create a solution for infusion of Trappsol® Cyclo™ into NPC patients. In the second quarter of 2014, we expect to begin an accelerated stability study of the liquid form of Trappsol® Cyclo™ to extend the stability claim from six months to two years.

Trappsol® other products
Our sales of other Trappsol® products increased by 76%, to $384,000 from $218,000 for 2013 and 2012, respectively. This increase was due primarily to a $140,000 sale to one customer in 2013. We currently expect 2014 annual sales of these products to be more consistent with 2012 annual sales.

Aquaplex®
Our sales of Aquaplex® decreased by 90%, to $8,000 for 2013 compared to $81,000 for 2012. We do not believe that this decrease represents a trend, but it is representative of the periodic purchasing pattern of our primary Aquaplex® customer.  Aquaplex® sales to this customer for last five years are 2013 - $2,907 , 2012 - $77,569, 2011 - $139,861, 2010 - $97,578, 2009 - $128,616.

Our largest customers continue to follow historical product ordering trends to place periodic large orders that represent a significant share of our annual revenue volume.  In 2013, our four largest customers (Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals, Inc., Uno Healthcare, Inc., Thermofisher Scientific Diagnostics, Inc., and Siemens/Dade Behring) accounted for 70% of our revenues; the largest accounted for 49% of our revenues.   In 2012, our four largest customers (Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals, Inc., Uno Healthcare, Inc., Thermofisher Scientific Diagnostics, Inc., and Qiagen Sciences, LLC) accounted for 56% of our revenues; the largest accounted for 23% of our revenues.  This increase is the result of our largest customer continuing to increase the quantity of products purchased from us.  Historically, our usual smaller sales of HPB occur more frequently throughout the year compared to our large sales that we receive periodically.  The timing of when we receive and are able to complete these two kinds of sales has a significant effect on our quarterly revenues and operating results and makes period to period comparisons difficult. We have not experienced significant price resistance for our products. We believe that our sales will remain at historical levels due to continued customer demand for our products. In addition, we added additional inventory of our most frequently ordered products to better take advantage of sales opportunities as they arise, which also hedges our product costs against short-term price increases.

Our cost of products sold (excluding any allocation of direct and indirect overhead and handling costs) increased to $426,000 for 2013 compared to $140,000 for 2012. Our cost of products sold as a percentage of product sales increased to 25% for 2013 from 14% for 2012.  This increase was due to the increase in Cyclo™ sales in 2013, which have higher average product costs.  Historically, the timing and product mix of sales to our large customers has had a significant effect on our sales, cost of products sold (excluding any allocation of direct and indirect overhead and handling costs) and the related margin. We did not experience any significant increases in material costs during 2013 or 2012.
 
As we buy inventory from foreign suppliers, the change in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Euro, Yen and Yuan does have an effect on our cost of inventory, and will continue to do so. We buy most of our products from outside the U.S. using U.S. dollars. Our main supplier of specialty CDs and complexes, Cyclodextrin Research & Development Laboratory, is located in Hungary and its prices are set in Euros. The cost of our bulk inventory often changes due to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar. These products represent a significant portion of our revenues. When we experience short-term increases in currency fluctuation or supplier price increases, we are often not able to raise our prices sufficiently to maintain our historical margins.  Therefore, our margins on these sales may decline.
 
Personnel expenses increased 14% to $364,000 for 2013, from $320,000 for 2012.  The increase in personnel expense is due primarily to $40,000 of stock compensation expense in 2013 compared to $22,000 in 2012.  We expect personnel costs to increase in 2014 as the result of increasing our operation time of the pulse dryer and the addition of sales personnel.
 
Repairs and maintenance expenses increased 136% to $41,000 for 2013 from $17,000 for 2012.  The increase is due to our preparing the dryer for production in 2014 and modifying the system for the installation of our ultra pure filtration system expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2014.  We expect our 2014 repairs and maintenance costs to increase with the expected increased operation of the dryer.
 
Professional fees decreased 1% to $143,000 for 2013 from $145,000 for 2012.  We expect our professional fees to remain constant.  However, professional fees may increase due to new initiatives in raising capital or compliance for developing new products.

Office and other expenses increased 39% to $132,000 for 2013 from $96,000 for 2012. This increase is due primarily to increased property taxes, insurance and utilities for our pulse dryer and facility improvements.  We expect to increase sales, marketing, travel and other general expenses to create a sales and marketing department, add independent sales representatives, and attend various industry trade shows to promote our new pulse drying capabilities and new products.
 
Amortization and depreciation increased 4% to $148,000 for 2013 from $143,000 for 2012.  The increase is due to continued improvements to our spray dryer and facility in 2012 and 2013.    We expect our depreciation expense for 2014 will be consistent with 2013 expense.

Freight and shipping decreased 18% to $9,000 for 2013 from $11,000 for 2012. This decrease is due to more 2013 sales from inventory and our locally manufactured Cyclo™ product than in 2012.  Freight and shipping is dependent on frequency of ordering products for inventory and frequency of shipping out products sold.

In 2013, we determined the fair value of our High Springs location is less than our carrying value and therefore recorded an impairment loss of $95,455 to adjust the carrying value to $400,000.

Interest expense decreased to $54,000 for 2013, from $62,000 for 2012.  We refinanced our mortgage and equipment notes payable in July 2013 reducing our interest rate, which ranged from 5.375% to 6.0%, to 3.99%.  We also refinanced our line of credit reducing the floor on our interest rate from 6.5% to 4.75%.  We expect our interest expense in 2014 to be less than our 2013 expense due to the refinancing.

We recognized an $80,000 income tax provision for 2013 compared to a $25,000 provision for income taxes in 2012.  This increase was due to the increase in net income for 2013 from 2012.
 
We recognized net income after income taxes of $205,000 for 2013 compared to net income after taxes of $74,000 for 2012.
 
Our goal is to continue to introduce new products that will increase sales revenue and implement a strategy of creating or acquiring operational affiliates and/or subsidiaries that will use CDs in herbal medicines, waste-water remediation, pharmaceuticals, and foods. We plan to add a sales and marketing department and add independent sales representatives.  We continue to pursue mutually beneficial relationships with major CD manufacturer(s) and specialty CD labs to distribute their products.  We are a distributor in North America of the CD products that are manufactured by Cyclodextrin Research & Development Laboratory and Chiroquest, Kft. both of Budapest, Hungary.
 
In keeping with our commitment to use the internet as a major advertising and public relations outlet, we have increased our presence through two websites, cyclodex.com for our cyclodextrin product information and ctd-holdings.com that serves our shareholders and potential investors. This asset has been instrumental in creating and maintaining a worldwide presence for us in the implementation of research and commercialization of CD applications. We revised our e-commerce website at the end of 2013.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The results of operations are based on the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to select accounting policies for critical accounting areas as well as make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant changes in assumptions and/or conditions in our critical accounting policies could materially impact the operating results. We have identified the following accounting policies and related judgments as critical to understanding the results of our operations.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
The recoverability of long-lived assets is evaluated annually or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. Indicators of impairment include historical financial performance, operating trends and our future operating plans. If impairment indicators exist, we evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets on an operating unit basis based on undiscounted expected future cash flows before interest for the expected remaining useful life of the operating unit. Recorded values for long-lived assets that are not expected to be recovered through undiscounted future cash flows are written down to current fair value, which is generally determined from estimated discounted future net cash flows for assets held for use or net realizable value for assets held for sale.

Our corporate offices are currently located at our pulse dryer facility, which we acquired in September 2010 for $468,000.  The 7,200 sq. ft. building is located on two acres in an established industrial park located in Alachua, Florida.   In 2009, we acquired the pulse dryer for $250,000. During 2011, we installed the pulse dryer and constructed a manufacturing system at a cost of $1,151,000 to meet c-GMP standards.  The Alachua building and surrounding land allows for future expansion beyond our current planned operations.
 
We own a 40 acre site that is zoned agricultural use in High Springs, Florida that is the site of our former corporate headquarters.  This property is currently idle and we are offering it for sale.  There is no mortgage on this property.  In 2013, we determined the fair value is less than our carrying value and therefore recorded an impairment loss of $95,455 to adjust the carrying value to $400,000.

Valuation Allowance on Deferred Tax Assets
 
At December 31, 2013, we had a $120,000 net deferred tax asset calculated at the effective income tax rate of our temporary deductible timing differences and net operating loss carryforwards.  We have provided a valuation allowance in the amount of $21,000, due primarily to an increase in our deferred tax liability in 2013.

For 2013, we reported net income before income taxes of $285,000.  Our deferred net tax asset decreased by $80,000, which is the result of recording a $80,000 income tax provision.  Our valuation allowance percentage is 15% at December 31, 2013.

For 2012, we reported net income before income taxes of $99,000.  Our deferred net tax asset decreased by $25,000, which is the result of recording a $25,000 income tax provision.  Our valuation allowance percentage was 10% at December 31, 2012.

Current accounting standards require that deferred tax assets be evaluated for future realization and reduced by the extent to which we believe a portion will not be realized. We consider many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of our deferred tax assets including our recent cumulative earnings experience, expectations of future taxable income, the carry-forward periods available to us for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors.  The range of possible judgments relating to the valuation of our deferred tax asset is very wide.  Significant judgment is required in making this assessment, and it is very difficult to predict when, if ever, our assessment may conclude our deferred tax assets are realizable.

We have determined it is more likely than not that we will realize our temporary deductible differences and at least some of our net operating loss carryforwards prior to their expiration, and we have recorded a deferred tax asset for the amount expected to be realized.  We have provided a valuation allowance on the portion of the estimated deferred tax asset not expected to be fully realized before it expires.  Although we have incurred financial reporting net losses for six of the prior nine years, we have also recognized taxable income for five of the prior nine years utilizing a total of $485,000 of our net operating losses.  We believe we will continue to realize taxable income in greater amounts in future periods sufficient to utilize a portion of our tax loss carryforwards before they expire.  At December 31, 2013, we would need to generate approximately $480,000 of taxable income to fully utilize our $120,000 net deferred tax asset.

Positive evidence we evaluated in the order of significance and weighting in our evaluation includes the amount of net operating loss carryforward utilized against current income tax liabilities in five of the prior seven years, the trend of increased revenues from 2006 through 2013 that is expected to continue at existing or improved margins, and the length of time the net operating loss carryforwards are available before they expire.  Negative evidence we considered in the order of significance and weighting in its evaluation includes the timing of expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards prior to being utilized, prior expiration of net operating losses before being utilized, unpredictability of future sales and profitability, the future effect of the costs to build and operate a pulse drying facility, competition from others, and new government regulations.  We determined greatest weight should be given to our prior use of net operating losses in recent years and our expected future sales and taxable income from operations in our evaluation.  We expect our future sales and taxable income to continue at current levels as a minimum and to increase in future years.  Current sales growth is due to increased interest and sales of our product THPB since 2011, which is expected to continue into 2014 and future years.  We also expect our new pulse dryer and ultra pure filtration system, and the interest in THPB, to increase the demand and sales of our other products.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
CTD Holdings, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CTD Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2013. 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits 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 audits provide 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 CTD Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012
 
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies of CTD Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) that affect the accompanying consolidated financial statements:
 
(a) ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS––The Company was incorporated in August 1990, as a Florida corporation with operations beginning in July 1992. We are engaged in the marketing and sale of cyclodextrins (“CD’s”) and related products to food, pharmaceutical and other industries. In 2012, we began offering pulse drying services to dry products containing cyclodextrins.
 
(b) BASIS OF PRESENTATION––The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
(c) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS––Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and any highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
 
(d) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE––Accounts receivable are stated at the amount we expect to collect from outstanding balances. Based on our assessment of the credit history with customers having outstanding balances and current relationships with them, we have concluded that losses on balances outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012 will be immaterial.

(e) INVENTORY AND COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD––Inventory consists of cyclodextrin products and chemical complexes purchased for resale recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Cost of products sold includes the acquisition cost of the products sold and does not include any allocation of inbound or outbound freight charges, indirect overhead expenses, warehouse and distribution expenses, or depreciation and amortization expense.  Inventory includes $137,000 of work-in-process inventory at December 31, 2013. We did not have work-in-process inventory at December 31, 2012.
 
(f) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT––Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is computed using primarily the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally three to five years for computers, software and vehicles, seven to ten years for machinery and furniture, fifteen years for certain land improvements, and forty years for buildings and building improvements). We periodically review our long-lived assets to determine if the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. If an impairment is identified, we recognize a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the asset.  No impairments were identified or recorded in 2013 or 2012.

(g) PROPERTY HELD FOR SALE–– Property held for sale consists of 40 acres of land and buildings located in High Springs, Florida.  This property was used for operations and our corporate offices through September 30, 2011, and is currently vacant.  Property is classified as held for sale when management’s intent is to sell the property and the applicable accounting criteria are satisfied.  This determination requires management to make estimates and assumptions, including assessing the probability that potential sales transactions may or may not occur.  Actual results could differ from those assumptions.  Upon designation as held for sale, the carrying values of the assets are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or the estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs.  Assets held for sale are no longer depreciated.  We periodically review our property held for sale to determine if the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. If we identify impairment, a loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated market value of the assets.  In 2013, we determined the fair value of our High Springs location is less than our carrying value and therefore recorded an impairment loss of $95,455 to adjust the carrying value to $400,000.  No impairments were identified or recorded in 2012.
 
(h) DEFERRED COSTS––Deferred costs consist of primarily of loan costs. Deferred costs are amortized using the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives, which approximates the effective interest method.

CTD HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:  (CONTINUED)
 
(i) REVENUE RECOGNITION––We recognize revenue from product sales and drying services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Product sales and shipping revenues, net of any discounts or return allowances, are recorded when the products are shipped and title passes to customers. Sales to customers are made pursuant to a sales contract that provides for transfer of both title and risk of loss upon our delivery to the carrier. Return allowances, which reduce product revenue, have been historically infrequent, and are recorded when they become known. Amounts received in advance are deferred and recognized as revenue when all four revenue recognition criteria have been met.
 
(j) SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES––Shipping and handling fees, if billed to customers, are included in product sales. Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound and outbound freight are expensed as incurred and included in freight and shipping expense.
 
(k) ADVERTISING––Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. We incurred no advertising expense in 2013 and approximately $2,900 in 2012.
  
(l) INCOME TAXES––Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
 
(m) NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE––Net income (loss) per common share is computed using a simple weighted average of common shares outstanding during the periods presented.
 
(n) STOCK BASED COMPENSATION––The Company periodically awards stock to employees.  For stock issued under annual employment contracts, an expense is recognized equal to the fair value of the stock determined using the average stock closing trading price for the month multiplied by number of shares awarded for that month, less a 20% discount if the stock is restricted for at least six months. The Company periodically awards stock bonuses to employees. The Company records an expense equal to the fair value of the stock at the closing trading price of the stock on the award date, less a 20% discount if the stock is restricted for at least six months. The Company periodically issues stock to consultants. The Company records an expense equal to the fair value of the stock at the closing trading price of the stock on the day awarded, less a 20% discount if the stock is restricted for at least six months.

(o) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES–The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requires companies to determine fair value based on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability to a market participant. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.

CTD HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012
 
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:  (CONTINUED)
 
The guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
 
●
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
●
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
●
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

We have no assets or liabilities that are required to have their fair value measured on a recurring basis at December 31, 2013 or 2012.  Long-lived assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments when there is evidence of impairment.  As mentioned previously, we recorded an impairment of $95,455 on property held for sale.  The impairment was determined based on actual transactions of similar property, a Level 2 input.

For short-term classes of our financial instruments which are not reported at fair value, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.  The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based on the present value of the underlying cash flows discounted at current rates offered the Company for similar debt.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the carrying value of long-term debt approximated fair value.
 
(q) USE OF ESTIMATES––The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could significantly differ from these estimates.
 
(2) MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS:
 
In 2013, two major customers accounted for 60% of total revenues. In 2012, four major customers accounted for 56% of total revenues.
 
Substantially all inventory purchases were from three vendors in 2013 and 2012.

We have two sources for our Aquaplex® products. However, we have manufactured these products in the past and could do so again, if necessary. There are multiple sources for our Trappsol® products.

(3) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK:
 
Significant concentrations of credit risk for all financial instruments owned by the Company are as follows:
 
(a) DEMAND AND CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS––We maintain bank accounts in Federal credit unions and other financial institutions, which are insured up to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.
   
(b) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE––Our accounts receivable consist of amounts due primarily from chemical supply and pharmaceutical companies located primarily in the United States and Hungary. Four customers accounted for 84% of the accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2013. Three customers accounted for 71% of the accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2012. We have no policy requiring collateral or other security to support our accounts receivable.

(5) DEBT: 
 
We owed $571,227 and $412,952, at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, on a mortgage note payable, collateralized by land and a building we acquired in September 2010.  We refinanced our mortgage in July 2013.  Monthly payments of $3,506, including principal and interest at 3.99%, are due, with a final balloon payment of approximately $350,000 due in July 2023. The note is secured by a mortgage on our Alachua property. The note has a prepayment penalty that starts at 5% within the first year and decreases 1% annually thereafter. There is no prepayment penalty if the loan is repaid with cash on hand.  The loan has a covenant requiring our ratio of EBITDA to interest expense and prior period current maturities of long-term debt to not be less than 1.3.

We owed $280,548 and $300,716 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, under an equipment loan related to the installation of the pulse dryer and related building renovations.  We refinanced our equipment note in July 2013, in conjunction with our mortgage refinancing. Monthly payments of $4,051, including principal and interest at 3.99%, are due beginning August 2013 through and including July 2020. The note is collateralized by all of our equipment. The mortgage on our High Springs property was released in connection with the refinancing. There is a prepayment penalty of 2% of the outstanding balance if we refinance the loan with another financial institution within five years. There is no prepayment penalty if the loan is repaid with cash on hand.

We also owed $177,905 under notes payable to two vendors at December 31, 2012.  These vendor loans were refinanced into our mortgage in July 2013.

Long-term debt obligations for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

(5) DEBT:   (CONTINUED)
 
In July 2013, we refinanced our $100,000 line of credit, with interest due monthly at prime plus 1.8%, with a minimum rate of 4.75% (5.05% at December 31, 2013), due in full July 2014, unless further extended. The line of credit is collateralized by our inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, general intangibles and fixtures.  The credit line is also cross collateralized with our mortgage and equipment loans.  There was no balance outstanding at December 31, 2013.  We owed $94,487 on the line of credit as of December 31, 2012.
 
(6) STOCK TRANSACTIONS:

See Note 10 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.

In August 2013, the Company issued 10,791 shares of common stock to a construction subcontractor for work performed and capitalized $1,500 as a building improvement.
 
In July 2013, the Company awarded 555,556 shares of common stock as bonuses to officers and employees and recorded an expense of $40,000.

In September 2012, the Company received $50,000 for 314,465 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 314,465 of common stock at $0.25 per share.
 
(7) PREFERRED STOCK:
 
See Note 10 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.

In 2004, we amended our Articles of Incorporation authorizing a class of “blank check” preferred stock consisting of 5,000,000 shares and created a Series A Preferred Stock consisting of one share and set forth its designations, rights and preferences. The more significant right is the Series A share votes together with the holders of the Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of company holders of Common Stock, with the share of Series A Preferred Stock being entitled to one vote more than one-half of all votes entitled to be cast by all holders of voting capital stock of the company on any matter submitted to common shareholders so as to ensure that the votes entitled to be cast by the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock are equal to at least a majority of the total of all votes entitled to be cast by all shareholders. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $.0001. In 2004, we issued one share of the Series A Preferred Stock to our majority common shareholder in exchange for 1,029,412 shares of Common Stock held by the majority common shareholder, which were surrendered to the Company and cancelled.
 
(8) INCOME TAXES:
 
Differences between accounting rules and tax laws cause differences between the basis of certain assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and tax purposes. The tax effect of these differences, to the extent they are temporary, is recorded as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred assets and liabilities. Temporary differences which give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of net operating loss carryforwards, stock compensation expense not deducted for tax purposes until trading restrictions are removed and declared as compensation by the recipient, and accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes.

CTD HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012
 
(8) INCOME TAXES:  (CONTINUED)
 
If all of our net operating loss carryforwards and temporary deductible differences were used, we would realize a net deferred tax asset of approximately $141,000 based upon expected income tax rates. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets must be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is likely that all or a portion of it will not be realized.  We have determined it is more likely than not that we will realize our temporary deductible differences and at least some of our net operating loss carryforwards prior to their expiration, and we have recorded a deferred tax asset for the amount expected to be realized.  We have provided a valuation allowance on the portion of the estimated deferred tax asset not expected to be fully realized before it expires.  Although we have incurred financial reporting net losses for six of the prior nine years, we have also recognized taxable income for five of the prior nine years utilizing a total of $485,000 of our net operating losses.  We believe we will continue to realize taxable income in greater amounts in future periods sufficient to utilize a portion of our tax loss carryforwards before they expire.  At December 31, 2013, we would need to generate approximately $480,000 of taxable income to fully utilize our $120,000 net deferred tax asset.

Positive evidence we evaluated in the order of significance and weighting in our evaluation includes the amount of net operating loss carryforward utilized against current income tax liabilities in four of the prior eight years, the trend of increased revenues from 2006 through 2013 that is expected to continue at existing or improved margins, and the length of time the net operating loss carryforwards are available before they expire.  Negative evidence we considered in the order of significance and weighting in our evaluation include the timing of expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards prior to being utilized, increased depreciation from our pulse dryer, unpredictability of future sales and profitability, the unknown future operating results from our pulse drying facility, competition from others, and new government regulations.  We determined greatest weight should be given to our prior use of net operating losses in recent years and our expected future sales and taxable income from operations in our evaluation.  We expect our future sales and taxable income to continue at current levels as a minimum and to increase in future years.  Our sales growth is due to increased interest and sales of our product THPB since 2011, which is expected to continue into 2014 and future years.  We also expect our new pulse dryer and ultra pure filtration system, and the interest in THPB, to increase the interest and sales of our other products.

We calculated our deferred tax asset using the temporary deductible timing differences plus the net operating loss carryforward multiplied by our expected effective income tax rate.  Our taxable operating income is expected to be of the same character as our temporary deductible timing differences and net operating loss carryforwards.  We estimated our future taxable income based on historical results and expected future trends in sales and margins.  We estimated the timing of deducting our temporary deductible differences.  We estimated the amount of our net operating loss carryforward we would be able to utilize prior to expiration.  The difference between our gross deferred tax asset and the amount expected to be utilized was recorded as a valuation allowance.  We remeasure our valuation allowance each quarter based on changes in our current and expected future sales and margins, and changes in the other factors of both positive and negative evidence.
 
We have available at December 31, 2013, unused net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $882,000 that may be applied against future taxable income. If not used, the net operating loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

For 2013, we recognized a $80,000 provision for income taxes.  Our valuation allowance percentage is 15% at December 31, 2013. 
 
For 2012, we recognized a $25,000 provision for income taxes and we decreased our deferred tax valuation allowance based on our overall evaluation of our future profitability and ability to utilize our net deferred tax assets.  Our valuation allowance percentage is 10% at December 31, 2012. 
 
Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating the valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset, it is at least reasonably possible that our estimated deferred tax asset will change in the near term and be material to the financial statements.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, and in various state jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. Federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010, except for net operating loss carryforwards from periods prior to 2009.

We have reviewed and evaluated the relevant technical merits of each of our tax positions in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, and determined that there are no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
 
(9) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN:
 
We maintain a 401(k) plan available to all employees who have satisfied certain eligibility requirements. Employee contributions are discretionary. We may match employee contributions and may also make discretionary contributions for all eligible employees based upon their total compensation. For 2013 and 2012, we elected to match the employee’s contribution, not to exceed 4% of compensation. Our 401(k) contribution was $11,745 and $11,023 for 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
(10) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

On February 19, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors under which it issued 10,000,000 shares of its common stock, at a purchase price of $0.05 per share, in exchange for $500,000 (the “Private Placement”).

In connection with the closing of the Private Placement, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, C.E. Rick Strattan, converted his share of Series A Preferred Stock into one million shares of the Company’s common stock. The share of Series A Preferred Stock was the only share of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. Initially issued in 2004 to Mr. Strattan in exchange for the surrender of 1,029,412 shares of common stock then owned by him, the Series A Preferred Stock carried certain voting rights that entitled its holder to cast a number of votes representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all of the Company’s capital stock. It was convertible by its terms into a number of shares of common stock to be agreed mutually by the Company and the holder at the time of conversion. The conversion was effected through a Conversion Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2014, between the Company and Mr. Strattan. The conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock was a condition to the closing of the Private Placement.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the possible controls and procedures.
 
Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Company management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
●
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
 
●
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
 
●
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
  
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.  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 our assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, the Company’s internal control over reporting is effective.
 
This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report is not subject to attestation by our independent public accountants in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Changes in Internal Control.
 
We made no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal controls that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or which is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

George L. Fails has been Operations Manager and a Director of the Company since 2001.  He has served as President of Cyclodextrin Technologies Development, Inc. (CTD, Inc.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, since 2009 and Operations Manager of CTD, Inc. since 2000.

Mr. Fails was selected to serve as a member of our Board of Directors because of his position with CTD, Inc.
 
N. Scott Fine has been a Director of the Company since February 2014.  Mr. Fine is a principal at Scarsdale Equities, an investment-banking firm located in New York City. Mr. Fine has been involved in corporate finance for over 30 years. Previously, Mr. Fine was an investment banker at Fine Equities, focusing on small- to medium-cap companies and managing high net worth individuals and small institutions. Mr. Fine has worked on a series of transactions domestically and internationally in the healthcare and consumer products area. Mr. Fine is vice chairman and lead director, as well as the chair of the audit committee, of Central European Distribution Corporation.  Mr. Fine currently sits on the Deans Advisory Board for The University of Connecticut’s Neag School of Education at Storrs, Connecticut.

We believe that Mr. Fine’s relationships within the financial community in New York and around the world, as well as his significant experience with equity and debt financing transactions, will make him a valuable contributor as a Director.  Mr. Fine was appointed to the Board of Directors in connection with a private placement of common stock by the Company in February 2014, and has the right to be nominated to our Board (or to have a representative nominated to our Board) for up to seven years from the date of that offering.

Markus Sieger has been a Director of the Company since February 2014. Mr. Sieger holds a degree in Economics from the University of Applied Sciences for Business and Administration Zurich. He started his career in 1981 with Zurich Insurance Group where he specialized in information systems and organizational projects. In 1994, he joined fincoord where he built a track record of negotiating and closing complex merger and acquisition transactions and building up, strategically repositioning and reorganizing companies in both emerging and Western markets. Since 2013, Mr. Sieger is an investor and principal at Sieger & Sieger Ltd. and Consiglio AG, focusing on strategic advisory mandates and his own investments. He is a director of various companies such as Polpharma S.A., Grupa Onet.pl S.A, iscoord ag and others.  He was a director of Central European Distribution Corporation through June 2013.

We believe that Mr. Sieger’s extensive experience in strategic advisory roles and investment opportunities will make him a valuable member of our Board of Directors.  Mr. Sieger was appointed to the Board of Directors in connection with a private placement of common stock by the Company in February 2014, and has the right to be nominated to our Board (or to have a representative nominated to our Board) for up to seven years from the date of that offering.

Directors, including directors also serving the Company in another capacity and receiving separate compensation therefor, shall be entitled to receive from the Company as compensation for their services as directors such reasonable compensation as the board may from time to time determine, and shall also be entitled to reimbursements for any reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings of directors. To date, the Board of Directors has received no compensation, and no attendance fees have been paid.
 
Board Committee Structure
 
On February 28, 2014, our Board of Directors constituted Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees as three new standing committees. As of that date, N. Scott Fine and Jeffrey L. Tate were appointed as the members of our Audit Committee; Markus W. Sieger and C.E. Rick Strattan were appointed as the members of our Compensation Committee; and Mr. Sieger and George L. Fails were appointed as the members of our Governance Committee. Prior to February 2014, the full board (then consisting of three executive officers) fulfilled the functions of these committees.
 
Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
Our Board of Directors has not made an affirmative determination whether any of the Audit Committee's members can be deemed to be an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Prior to the appointment of Messrs. Fine and Sieger to the Board of Directors in February 2014, the Board had concluded that none of its directors qualified as an audit committee financial expert.

Code of Ethics
 
We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Our code of ethics will be provided to any person without charge, upon request. Requests should be addressed to Investor Relations Department, c/o CTD Holdings, Inc., 14120 NW 126th Terrace, Alachua, Florida 32615.
 
 Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

We are required to identify each person who was an officer, director or beneficial owner of more than 10% of our registered equity securities during our most recent fiscal year and who failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On July 3, 2013, we issued $10,000 worth of common stock (138,889 shares) to each of Rick Strattan, Jeffrey Tate and George Fails, each of whom is an executive officer and director, as a bonus, for which Form 4s were not timely filed.  To our knowledge, based solely on review of these filings and representations from the certain reporting persons, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2013, other than as noted above, our officers, directors and significant stockholders have timely filed the appropriate form under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Related Party Transactions

We have not engaged in any transactions with related parties since January 1, 2013.  For a discussion of our compensation paid to our officers and directors, see “Item 11. Executive Compensation.”

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors is comprised of five individuals, three of whom are employed by the Company. Two members, N. Scott Fine and Markus Sieger, were appointed in connection with our private placement of common stock completed in February 2014. We have not yet made an affirmative determination that any of our directors is “independent” using the definition set forth in the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.  We also do not have an independent audit committee.  Although our directors are subject to the fiduciary duties imposed on Board members pursuant to Florida law, our shareholders do not have the protection afforded by independent directors and an independent audit committee which are some of the traditional procedural safeguards that protects the interests of minority shareholders.  Our lack of independent directors on our Board of Directors may also make decisions of our Board of Directors more prone to legal claims or shareholder criticism than if made by a Board of Directors with a majority of independent board members.
