(5) TREASURY STOCK

Treasury stock is recorded at acquisition cost. The Company reacquired 162,780 shares of its previously outstanding common stock for $9,228 from non-affiliates. The shares were not cancelled as of September 30, 2010.

(6) INCOME TAXES

The Company reported a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company increased the valuation allowance of its deferred tax asset by approximately $50,000, due to the expiration of a tax loss carry forward in 2010.

The Company reported net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The Company decreased its valuation allowance of its deferred tax asset by approximately $9,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The Company reported a net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, and increased its valuation allowance of its deferred tax asset by approximately $9,000. For 2009, the Company did not record an increase in its deferred tax asset or record an income tax benefit based on management's expectation of future taxable income, which may not exceed its current deferred tax asset.

(7) NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE:

Net income (loss) per common share is computed using a simple weighted average of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. For stock earned under employment agreements (see Note 9), the monthly stock earned is treated as issued on the 15th day of each month earned for purposes of computing the weighted average outstanding shares.

(8) CONCENTRATIONS

Sales to three major customers accounted for 49% of total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Sales to three major customers accounted for 50% of total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Substantially all 2010 and 2009 inventory purchases were from three vendors.

The Company has only one source for certain manufactured inventory. However, the Company has manufactured these products in the past and could do so again, if necessary. There are multiple sources for its other inventory products.

(9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

For 2010, the Company has employment agreements with three officers for total monthly salaries of $26,000, including stock compensation. From February 1, 2010 through September 31, 2010, one officer, Mr. Strattan, earned shares of common stock each month. The number of shares earned was equal to $5,500 divided by eighty percent of the closing price of the Company's common stock on that last day of each month. Although the shares have not been issued to Mr. Strattan, the Company recognizes an expense equal to the fair value of the stock determined using the average stock closing trading price for the month multiplied by the number of shares earned for that month. Once issued, the stock will be subject to trading restrictions under Rule 144. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, Mr. Strattan earned 275,297 and 650,106 shares, respectively, under his employment agreement, and the Company recognized an expense of $23,869 and $62,515, respectively, with regard to such stock.

Introduction

CTD Holdings, Inc. (referred to as the "Company," "CTD" or in the first person notations of "we," "us," and "our") began operations in 1990. Our revenues are principally derived from retail sales of cyclodextrins and cyclodextrin complexes. Our sales are primarily to major chemical supply houses around the world, pharmaceutical companies, and food companies for research and development and to diagnostics companies. We acquire many of our products outside the United States, from Japan, Germany, China and Hungary; but we are gradually finding satisfactory supply sources in the United States. While we generally enjoy better supply prices from outside the United States, rising shipping costs are making domestic sources more competitively priced. As a value-added service to our vendors, suppliers and customers, we maintain a comprehensive database of patented and patent pending uses of cyclodextrins from the United States Patent Trademark Office, which we use to provide information and answer questions relating to uses of cyclodextrins. We also maintain a less comprehensive database that includes patents issued in many other countries including Japan, Germany and others. This information is available to our customers. We also offer our customers our knowledge of the properties and potential new uses of cyclodextrins and cyclodextrin complexes.

As most of our customers use our cyclodextrin products in their research and development activities, their ordering from us is unpredictable with regard to timing, product mix and volume. We also have four major customers 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 major customers and the product mix and volume of products sold has a significant effect on our revenues and results of operation. These factors contribute to our significant revenue volatility from quarter to quarter and year to year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and short-term investments decreased to $9,000 as of September 30, 2010, compared to $339,000 as of December 31, 2009. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was due primarily to capital additions, including the acquisition of land and building in Alachua, Florida and equipment related to the spray dryer construction.

As of September 30, 2010, our working capital was $222,000 compared to $537,000 at December 31, 2009. Our cash flow from operations for the first nine months of 2010 was $33,000 compared to $50,000 for the same period in 2009. This decrease from 2009 to 2010 was due primarily to purchases of capital assets and normal timing differences in accounts receivable and accounts payable.

We are seeking debt financing for the spray drying facility. We believe our current working capital is sufficient to maintain historical product processing, but we will require additional working capital to increase the volume and size of future product processing.

We continue to maintain inventory levels sufficient for two years of sales for our two most profitable bulk products, THPB and TRMB-P. We increased our inventory of these two products two years ago based on our estimate of future industry purchase trends and recent product inquiries from our larger customers. These products have a three month or more lead time to acquire from our suppliers in the quantity purchased. Because we now have 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.

Controlling cash expenses continues to be management's primary fiscal tool. However, growth requires increased expenditures and we feel that it is appropriate during the current growth stage to engage consultants that can help the Company in financial areas outside its expertise, accepting that these fees will act to reduce profitability. We continue to focus on increasing revenues to offset these new expenses, but cannot be sure that such efforts will be successful.

Beginning in 2003, we began improvements and renovations of our corporate office and have invested $170,000 through December 31, 2009. Beginning in 2010, we began construction of a spray drying facility and a c-GMP plant that we expect to get approved to produce pharmaceutical ingredients containing our Trappsol® cyclodextrins suitable for parenteral use. We have invested $225,000 to purchase a combustor/atomizer system and related equipment, and $138,000 in renovations to our High Spring, Florida facility to ready the property for sale. We will continue to operate our corporate offices out of our High Springs, Florida location, until sold. When the High Springs, Florida property is sold, we will relocate our corporate offices to the new Alachua, Florida property. The new Alachua Florida location will be our primary manufacturing operation and we plan to move all of our manufacturing equipment to the new location

In September 2010, we purchased a new facility in Alachua, Florida, which is more suitable for our planned operation for $468,000, of which $440,000 was financed by the seller. We expect to spend an additional $800,000 to complete the spray dryer and renovate the new facility. We are currently seeking debt financing, although there are no assurances we will obtain financing for all or part of this facility.

During 2009, we hired a consultant to perform certain public relations activities through April 1, 2010, for 2,200,000 shares of restricted common stock, which were issued in 2010. We recorded an expense of $66,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Company officers earned 650,106 shares and 2,861,384 shares of our common stock for compensation earned under employment agreements for the nine month periods ending September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The 2010 shares have not yet been issued to the officers.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements at September 30, 2010.

Results of Operations

Total product sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 decreased by 9% to $197,000 compared to $215,000 for the same period in 2009. Total product sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 increased by 13% to $521,000 compared to $460,000 for the same period in 2009. Our major customers continue to be repeat purchasers. In 2010, our three major customers accounted for 49% of our sales. In 2009, our three major customers accounted for 50% of our sales.

The increase in sales was due primarily to sales to new customers, as a result of greater awareness of the uses of cyclodextrins created in part by advice we offered to one of our new customers relating to the chemical and physical properties of cyclodextrins and in the clinical suitability of cyclodextrin formulations. Also during 2010, we have experienced increased sales in Aquaplex products (complexes of cyclodextrins and approved pharmaceutical ingredients).

Our cost of products sold (excluding any allocation of direct and indirect overhead and handling costs) for the three month period ended 2010 decreased by 15% to $33,000 from $39,000 for the same period in 2009. Our cost of products sold (excluding any allocation of direct and indirect overhead and handling costs) as a percentage of sales was 17% and 18% for the three month periods ending September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Our cost of products sold (excluding any allocation of direct and indirect overhead and handling costs) for the nine month period ended 2010 increased by 3% to $74,000 from $72,000 for the same period in 2009. Our cost of products sold (excluding any allocation of direct and indirect overhead and handling costs) as a percentage of sales was 14% and 16% for the nine month periods ending September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Historically, changes in both sales volume and product mix have a significant effect on our cost of sales and our margins. Our margins vary significantly among our products. Our margins for the same product also vary based on quantity sold. Our increased inventory of our more popular products provides some delay from increasing costs of materials. The timing of when we receive, supply and ship complexes or large periodic orders has a significant effect on our quarterly and year to date cost of products sold (excluding any allocation of direct and indirect overhead and handling costs).

As we buy some of our inventory from foreign suppliers, the change in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Euro and other foreign currencies 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 fine chemicals and complexes is located in Hungary and 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.

Personnel expenses have decreased by 9% to $103,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $114,000 for the same period in 2009. Personnel expenses have decreased by 8% to $282,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $306,000 for same period in 2009. While we added a significant new position related to our new spray drying operation in January 2010, our personnel expense decreased due to certain personnel costs capitalized as facility improvements and changes in personnel staffing.

Professional fees increased by 113% to $35,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $17,000 for same period in 2009. Professional fees increased by 49% to $110,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $74,000 for the same period in 2009. The increase for all periods is due to a change in legal counsel during the second quarter of 2010.

Office and other expenses increased to $29,000 from $7,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Office and other expenses increased from $21,000 to $48,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The increases for all periods is due to added indirect expenses of acquiring our new facility, indirect expenses of preparing our High Springs, Florida facility for sale, and indirect costs of building our spray dryer and related facility. We expect our future office related expenses to increase from historical levels with the addition of our second facility. Once our High Springs, Florida facility is sold, we expect our office related expenses to return to historical levels.

Amortization and depreciation were comparable at approximately $5,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Amortization and depreciation were comparable at approximately $15,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and 2009, respectively. We expect depreciation to increase in future periods as the result of our new spray dryer and our second facility and planned future property improvements.

Freight and shipping increased to $5,000 from $3,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Freight and shipping increased to $13,000 from $8,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These increases are due to increased sales. Freight and shipping costs are dependent on supplier location, frequency of ordering products for inventory and frequency of sales. We have also experienced volatility in overall shipping costs due to increases in energy costs and then decreasing overall demand for shipping services.

Investment and other income decreased in 2010 due to lower invested cash balances in 2010 compared to 2009, due to our use of cash for building our spray drying facility.

We recognized net income (loss) before income taxes of ($18,000) and $33,000 for the three month periods ending September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We recognized a net loss of ($87,000) and ($31,000) for the nine month periods ending September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

We realized a net tax loss for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, and recorded an increase in our valuation allowance of $50,000 due to the expiration of a net operating loss carry forward in 2010, which reduced our deferred tax asset by $50,000.

We realized net taxable income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and a net tax loss for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized income tax expense of $9,000, recognized a benefit of our net operating loss carryforward of $9,000, which reduced our deferred tax asset valuation allowance by $9,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded an income tax benefit of $9,000 and also increased our deferred tax asset valuation allowance for $9,000.

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 cyclodextrins in herbal medicines, waste-water remediation, pharmaceuticals, and foods. We also intend to pursue exclusive relationships with major cyclodextrin manufacturer(s) and specialty cyclodextrin labs to distribute their products. We continue to be the exclusive distributor in place North America of the cyclodextrin products manufactured by Cyclolab Research Laboratories in Budapest, Hungary. In keeping with our commitment to use the internet as a major advertising and public relations outlet, we continue to update and maintain our website. This valuable asset has been instrumental in creating and maintaining a worldwide leadership role for us in the implementation of research and commercialization of cyclodextrin applications.
