Introduction

CTD Holdings, Inc. (referred to as the "Company," "CTD" or in the first person plural notations of "we," "us," and "our") began operations in 1990.  Prior to 2012, substantially all of our revenues were derived from the resale of cyclodextrins and cyclodextrin complexes manufactured by third parties for us.  In the first quarter of 2012, we completed our first pulse drying contract for over two metric tons of material for one of our product suppliers.  Our sales are primarily to chemical supply companies, diagnostic kit manufacturers, and to researchers worldwide in a variety of industries including food, flavor, fragrance, pharmaceutical, environmental remediation, and biotech.  

We have established wholly-owned subsidiaries and divisions to provide brand awareness to our more significant market segments.  Cyclodextrin Development Technologies, Inc. is our oldest subsidiary and is the distributor of fine chemicals in smaller quantities (under ten kilograms).  NanoSonic Products, Inc. offers pulse drying services and product sale quantities from ten kilograms to metric tons.  Sphingo Biotech, Inc. distributes our Trappsol® Cyclo™ products and is exploring additional uses of this product.  We have created Ferrazo Environmental Technologies, Inc. to develop products for use in the environmental clean-up industry.

Resale of Cyclodextrins

We acquire our products principally from various manufacturers, depending on price, quality, and specific physical and chemical product properties.  As manufacturing of cyclodextrins is limited in the United States, we purchase from around the world, largely from Wacker Biosolutions, a division of Wacker Chemie AG (Germany); with a production facility located in Adrian, Michigan, Hangzhou Chemical Company in China and Cyclodextrin Research & Development Laboratory in Hungary.  While we enjoy lower supply prices from outside the United States, changes in shipping costs for our current order quantities and currency exchange rates could make domestic sources more competitively priced. We make technical and commercial information about cyclodextrins available to our customers. We also offer our customers our knowledge of the physical chemical properties and potential new uses of cyclodextrins and complexes.

As most of our customers use our cyclodextrin products in their research and development activities and for commercial sales of diagnostic products, the timing, product mix, and volume of their orders from us vary significantly from quarter to quarter.  We also have four large customers (each of whom historically has purchased regularly from us and, has accounted for greater than 10% of our annual revenues in certain years) who have a significant effect on our revenues when they increase or decrease their sales and/or 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 will continue to affect our revenues and product margins. These factors historically have contributed, and are likely to contribute in the future, to significant revenue volatility from quarter to quarter and year to year.

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 FDA granted orphan drug status for Trappsol® Cyclo™ for the treatment of Niemann Pick Type C (NPC) disease to our customer.  Our annual sales of Trappsol® Cyclo™ increased to $263,000 for 2012 from $182,000 for 2011.  We expect our 2013 annual sales of this drug product to exceed our 2012 annual sales.

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 provide 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 expect future sales of cyclodextrins to our pulse dryer customers to exceed that of our largest existing resale customer.  We are focusing on production of our Aquaplex® water soluble API grade of chemicals, drugs and nutraceutical products.

Product Development

Sphingo Biotechnology, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, acquired 2500 100ml vials of Trappsol® Cyclo™ in a liquid form from a contract manufacturer that we began shipping to our customers in November 2012.  We expect to acquire an additional 2500 vials in the third quarter of 2013.  This product has a six month stability claim and we currently are implementing an accelerated study to support a twenty-four month stability claim expected to cost $64,000.  Once we acquire a third batch of vials, and we assemble the validation data, we plan to increase the quantity of future batches to reduce our cost.  We believe we can utilize manufacturing processes developed as part of this product development to create new sterile liquid solutions of selected Trappsol® and Aquaplex® products for the life science research market.  We plan to have manufactured 500 vials each of our two best selling research grade Trappsol® products in liquid form during 2013.
 
 Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash increased to $98,000 as of March 31, 2013, compared to $23,000 as of December 31, 2012. This increase was due to strong sales in the first quarter of 2013 that are 60% of total product sales for all of 2012. Our working capital was $128,000 as of March 31, 2013, compared to ($15,000) at December 31, 2012. Our working capital increase is also the result of our strong sales in the first quarter of 2013 and the resulting reported net income.  We expect to continue to improve our working capital in 2013 through a continued growth in sales and managing our overhead costs.  We do not expect any disruption in operations due to our working capital position.  We will require additional working capital should we wish to implement our plan to add additional drying capacity.  We are exploring obtaining additional capital in 2013.  Our cash flows from operations for the first three months of 2013 were $114,000 compared to ($6,000) for the same period in 2012. This increase was also due to increase in sales and reported net income.

In October 2012, we received our initial shipment of our liquid form of Trappsol® Cyclo™.  We believe this product will provide patients with a more easily usable and thereby more economical form of our Cyclo™ product.  We continue to maintain inventory levels sufficient for one year of sales of Trappsol® HPB (THPB), which represented 69% of our sales in 2012.  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. 

We maintain a $100,000 line of credit, with interest due monthly at the higher of prime plus 2% or 6.5%.   We owed $91,000 on this line of credit as of March 31, 2013, compared to $94,000 at December 31, 2012.

Our High Springs property is currently listed for sale at $549,000.
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements at March 31, 2013.

Results of Operations

We reported net income after income taxes of $120,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to net income after taxes of $46,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, substantially all of our product sales consisted of Trappsol® products.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, our product sales consisted of 92% Trappsol® products and 8% Aquaplex® products.  We have experienced continued growth of our Trappsol products, particularly our Trappsol® HPB products.

Total product sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 increased 52% to $583,000 compared to $385,000 for the same period in 2012. This increase is due primarily to our distributor who is selling our Trappsol® Cyclo ™ for treatment of Brazilian children with NPC.  Sales of our new liquid form of Trappsol® Cyclo™ were $198,000 in the first quarter of 2013.  This product was first available for sale in the fourth quarter of 2012.

In January 2012, we commenced operations of our pulse dryer.  Revenues from drying services were $57,000 or 13% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  We did not provide any drying services in the first quarter of 2013. Trappsol® products that need additional processing will also benefit from our pulse dryer’s capabilities to produce large quantities of efficiently dried consumer products.  We believe we are able to provide ultra-purified cyclodextrin material to meet our customer needs that is not currently provided by our competitors.

Our change in the mix of our product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 follows:

Trappsol® HPB
Our sales of Trappsol® HPB decreased by 2%, to $152,000 from $156,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  We have experienced steady interest in this product and expect our 2013 annual sales to exceed our 2012 annual sales.

Trappsol ® Cyclo™
Our sales of Trappsol® Cyclo™ increased by 152%, to $213,000 from $84,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Our sales to a customer who exports Trappsol® Cyclo™ to South America were $198,000 (93% of total sales of Trappsol® Cyclo™) for the three months ended March 31, 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.  We developed a liquid form of Trappsol® Cyclo™, which eliminated the need for a compounding pharmacist to create a solution for injection of Trappsol® Cyclo™ into NPC patients.  We expect to begin our stability study of the liquid form of Trappsol® Cyclo™ in the second quarter of 2013.

Trappsol® other products
Our sales of other Trappsol® products increased by 96%, to $215,000 from $110,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  This increase was due primarily to purchases from one customer totaling $140,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  We expect 2013 annual sales of these products to be consistent with 2012 annual sales.

Aquaplex®
We had no sales of Aquaplex® for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to sales of $35,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. We do not consider this decrease to reflect a long-term trend, but it is representative of the periodic purchasing pattern of our primary Aquaplex® customer. 

Our largest customers continue to follow historical product ordering trends by placing periodic large orders that represent a significant share of our annual sales volume. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had two major customers account for 64% of our sales; the largest accounted for 34% of sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we had three large customers account for 54% of our sales; the largest accounted for 25% of sales.  This change results from two of our customer’s large purchases in the first quarter of 2013.  The timing of when we receive, supply and ship large periodic orders has a significant effect on our sales and operating results.  We have not experienced significant price resistance for our products and we remain optimistic that our customers’ market segments are not being significantly affected by the general downturn in the U.S. economy and that our sales will remain at or above historical levels due to continued customer demand for our products. 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) for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 increased 97% to $216,000 from $110,000 for the same period in 2012. Our cost of products sold (excluding any allocation of direct and indirect overhead and handling costs) as a percentage of sales was 37% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to 28% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  This change is the result of the product mix and certain large orders.

Personnel expenses decreased by 16%, to $80,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $96,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  We reduced our payroll during mid 2012, resulting in a decrease in payroll in 2013.  In January 2012, our pulse dryer facility became operational and our personnel costs were higher at that time.

Repairs and maintenance expenses decreased 37% to $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $5,000 for 2012. The decrease is due to minimal dryer operation in 2013.  We expect our 2013 repairs and maintenance costs to increase with the expected increased operation of the dryer.

Professional fees decreased 44% to $43,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $77,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This decrease is due a reduced level of legal and accounting activity in the first quarter of 2013.  We expect our professional fees for 2013 to be comparable to 2012 amounts.  However, professional fees may increase due to new initiatives in raising capital or compliance for developing new products.

Office and other expenses decreased 24% to $26,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $34,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  In January 2012, our pulse dryer began operations, which increased our general and administrative expenses.  We expect to increase sales, marketing, travel and other general expenses to expand our sales and marketing functions, add independent sales representatives, and attend various industry trade shows to promote our new pulse drying capabilities and new products.

Amortization and depreciation decreased to $35,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  We expect depreciation expense to continue at this level for the remainder of 2013 and future years.

Freight and shipping was comparable at $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Freight and shipping is dependent on frequency of ordering products for inventory and frequency of sales. We have also experienced volatility in overall shipping costs due to changes in related energy costs and overall demand for shipping services.

Interest expense increased to $17,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  We expect our interest expense to continue at this level for the remainder of 2013.

We recognized a $40,000 provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  We have a net loss carryforward sufficient to offset our expected 2013 income tax liability.
