                Curative Health Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1. Basis of Presentation

   The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all
   adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring  adjustments) which are, in
   the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
   position  and  operating  results  for the  interim  periods.  The  condensed
   consolidated  financial  statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the
   consolidated  financial  statements  for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
   notes  thereto  contained in the  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
   with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission.  The results of operations for
   the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 are not  necessarily  indicative
   of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending  December 31,
   1996.

Note 2.  Income per Common Share

   Income  per  common  share is  computed  by  dividing  the net  income by the
   weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding  plus dilutive  common
   share equivalents.

Note 3.  Reclassification

   The  Company  has   reclassified  the  presentation  of  certain  prior  year
   information  to conform  with the  current  year  presentation  format.  This
   included  the  reclassification  of  $225,000  to cost of  product  sales and
   services  for the second  quarter  and  $433,000  for the first six months of
   1995. These costs were associated with the Company's laboratory operations in
   the 1995  period  and were  previously  presented  as  selling,  general  and
   administrative expenses.  Additionally, the Company has classified as cost of
   product sales and services  $436,000 for the second  quarter and $996,000 for
   the first six  months of 1996  those  costs  related  to  technical  services
   dedicated to the support of its platelet  releasate  technology.  These costs
   were  classified  as research and  development  in previous  years since such
   costs were  related to new product  development  and drug  discovery.  In the
   Company's  continuing  effort to focus on its wound  care  service  business,
   during the second half of 1995 the Company  instituted a  realignment  of its
   business  activities  which included the  discontinuance  of further  product
   research and development.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

Results of Operations

Revenues.  The  Company's  revenues  for the second  quarter of fiscal year 1996
increased 27% to $16,388,000,  compared to $12,922,000 for the second quarter of
the prior fiscal year. For the quarter the revenue  increase is  attributable to
the operation of 99 wound care  facilities  at the end of the second  quarter of
1996 compared to 71 at the end of the second  quarter of 1995 and a 12% increase
in revenues at existing  centers  related to higher patient  volumes.  Total new
patients increased 31% from 7,446 in the second quarter of 1995 to 9,721 for the
same period in 1996.  The total  number of new  patients  receiving  Procuren(R)
therapy  increased 14% from 1,776 in the second  quarter of 1995 to 2,029 in the
second quarter of 1996. The percentage of patients receiving Procuren(R) therapy
decreased  during the second quarter of 1996 to 21% from 24% for the same period
in 1995.  For the first six months of 1996  revenues  totalled  $31,305,000,  an
increase  of 26%  compared  to  $24,929,000  for the same  period  in 1995.  The
increased  revenue is  attributable to the operation of 99 wound care facilities
at the end of the second quarter of 1996 compared to 71 at the end of the second
quarter of 1995 and a 12% increase in revenues at existing wound care facilities
related  to higher  patient  volumes.  Total  new  patients  to the  wound  care
facilities  increased  28% to 18,426 in the first six months of 1996 compared to
14,356 in the  first  six  months  of 1995.  The  total  number of new  patients
receiving  Procuren(R) therapy increased 13% to 3,788 in the first six months of
1996 from  3,360 in the first six months of 1995.  However,  the  percentage  of
patients  receiving  Procuren(R)  decreased  from 23% in the first six months of
1995 to 21% during the first six months of 1996. The Company  believes that this
decrease is  attributable  primarily  to an increase in the  percentage  of less
severe chronic wounds being treated at the Company's Wound Care Centers(R),  for
which physicians are less likely to prescribe Procuren(R),  as well as a lack of
available  reimbursement for Medicare  patients.  The Company believes that this
shift in the severity of the wounds treated at a Wound Care Center(R)  occurs as
the local medical  community  becomes  familiar with the services offered by the
Wound Care Center(R) and refers a broader range of chronic wound patients to the
Wound Care Center(R) for treatment.  The Company anticipates that the percentage
of patients  receiving  Procuren(R)  will  continue to decline  gradually in the
future.

Costs of product sales and services. Costs of product sales and services for the
second  quarter  increased  from  $6,383,000  in 1995 to  $9,024,000 in 1996, an
increase  of 41%,  and for the first six  months  of 1996  totalled  $17,359,000
compared to $12,494,000  for the same period in 1995. The second quarter of 1996
includes $436,000 of technical service costs which were reported as research and
development  expenses for the same period of 1995.  Excluding  technical service
costs,  the  increase  in cost of  product  sales and  services  from the second
quarter  of 1995 to the  second  quarter  of  1996  was  35%.  The  increase  is
attributable  to  additional  staffing and operating  expenses of  approximately
$1,042,000  associated with the operation of 28 additional wound care facilities
at the end of the  second  quarter  of  1996,  as well as  increased  volume  at
existing wound care facilities.  Additionally, these 28 facilities included four
freestanding  Wound Care Centers(R) and six additional under  arrangement  Wound
Care  Centers(R) at which the services  component of costs is higher than at the
Company's other facilities due to the additional  clinical  staffing and expense
that these models  require.  As compared  with the second  quarter of 1995,  the
higher  services  components  at these  facilities  accounted  for an additional
$417,000 of the increase in product costs and services for the second quarter of
1996.  As a  percentage  of  revenues,  costs  of  product  sales  and  services
(excluding technical service) for the second quarter of 1996 was 52% compared to
49% in the same  period  in 1995.  For the first  six  months  of 1996  costs of
product sales and services  increased 39%. The first six months of 1996 includes
$996,000  of  technical  service  costs  which were  reported  as  research  and
development costs in the same period in 1995. Excluding technical service costs,
the increase in cost of product  sales and services from the first six months of
1995  compared  to the  first  six  months  of 1996 was  31%.  The  increase  is
attributed  to  additional  staffing  and  operating  expenses of  approximately
$2,100,000  associated with the operation of 28 additional wound care facilities
at the end of the second quarter of 1996 as well as increased volume of existing
wound care  facilities.  Additionally  these 28  facilities  included  four free
standing Wound Care Centers(R) and six additional under  arrangement  Wound Care
Centers at which the services components of costs is higher than at the

                                      7

<PAGE>



Company's other facilities due to the additional staffing and expense that these
models  require.  As  compared  with the first six  months of 1995,  the  higher
services components at these facilities  accounted for an additional $700,000 of
the increase in product  costs and services for the first six months of 1996. As
a  percentage  of  revenues,  costs of  product  sales and  services  (excluding
technical  service) for the six months of 1996 was 52% as compared to 50% in the
same period in 1995. The increase is  attributable  to new Wound Care Centers(R)
which include a higher service component.

Selling,  General  and  Administrative.   Selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses for the second quarter  increased from $4,630,000 in 1995 to $4,861,000
in  1996,  an  increase  of 5%,  and for the six  months  of 1996  increased  to
$9,613,000  compared to  $8,877,000  for the same period in 1995, an increase of
8%. For the quarter the increase is  attributable  to the staffing and operating
expenses  associated  with the  growth in the wound care  business  particularly
related  to field  support  departments.  For the six  months  the  increase  is
primarily attributable to staffing and operating expenses of $831,000 associated
with the growth in the wound care business particularly related to field support
departments,  offset by a $495,000  decrease  in  expenses  related to  European
operations  which  were  discontinued  in  the  second  quarter  of  1995.  As a
percentage of revenues,  selling, general and administrative,  expenses were 36%
in the second  quarter of 1995 compared with 30% in the second  quarter of 1996,
and for the six months  decreased  to 31% in 1996  compared  to 36% for the same
period in 1995.  The  decrease  is  attributable  to the  discontinuance  of the
European  operations as well as the ability of the Company to obtain leverage by
spreading the costs of its overhead structure over a broader revenue base.

Research and Development. Research and development was $1,196,000 for the second
quarter of 1995 and $2,394,000 for the first six months of 1995. The Company did
not incur research and development  expenses in 1996 since it  discontinued  all
new product  research and  development in the second quarter of 1995.  Technical
service costs  associated  with the support of  Procuren(R)  are classified as a
cost of product sales.

Net Income.  Net income  improved  from $794,000 or $.08 per share in the second
quarter of 1995 to  $2,443,000  or $.21 per share in the second  quarter of 1996
and for the six months  improved  from  $1,308,000  or $.13 per share in 1995 to
$4,316,000  or $.38 per share for the first six months of 1996.  The increase in
earnings  of  $3,008,000  for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 as compared to
June 30, 1995 is primarily  attributable to savings of $1,398,000 related to the
discontinuance  of new product  research  and  development,  an  improvement  in
operating  margins  associated  with the revenue  growth and  economies of scale
achieved from market growth and the termination of European operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Working  Capital was $17.4 million at June 30, 1996 compared to $12.6 million at
December  31, 1995.  Total cash,  cash  equivalents  and  marketable  securities
held-to-maturity  as of June  30,  1996  was  $15.2  million  and  was  invested
primarily in highly liquid money market funds,  commercial  paper and government
securities.  The ratio of current assets to current  liabilities  increased from
2.5:1 at December 31, 1995 to 3.1:1 at June 30, 1996. The Company's  increase in
working  capital  and  improvement  in the ratio of  current  assets to  current
liabilities was primarily attributable to the net income for the six months.

Cash flows  provided  by  operations  for the first six months of 1996  totalled
$2,777,000  primarily  attributable to the net income for the period. Cash flows
used in investing  activities  totalled  $1,164,000  primarily  attributable  to
capital  equipment  expenditures  and purchases of marketable  securities.  Cash
flows provided by financing activities totalled $806,000 primarily  attributable
to proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

For the first six months of 1996,  the  Company  experienced  a  $1,713,000  net
increase in  accounts  receivable  primarily  due to the  increase in  revenues,
although the average number of days receivables were outstanding  declined to 52
days as of June 30, 1996  compared to 53 as of December 31, 1995.  Further,  the
Company's accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $32,000 as of June 30,
1996 compared to December 31, 1995.

The Company's  longer term cash  requirements  include  working  capital for the
further  expansion  of its wound  care  business.  Other cash  requirements  are
anticipated  for capital  expenditures  in the normal  course of  business.  The
Company is currently  assessing cash  requirements  related to accelerating  the
growth of the wound care business and other strategic  initiatives.  The Company
expects that based on its current  business plan, its existing cash  equivalents
and  marketable  securities  will be sufficient  to satisfy its current  working
capital needs. The effects of inflation and foreign currency  translation  risks
are considered immaterial.

      exercised in full,  the  unpurchased  Shares  which were  subject  thereto
      shall,  unless the Plan shall have been  terminated,  become available for
      the grant of other Options under the Plan.

4.    Administration of the Plan

      This Plan shall be administered  by the Board,  which shall have authority
      to adopt such rules and regulations,  and to make such  determinations  as
      are not inconsistent  with the Plan and are necessary or desirable for its
      implementation and administration.

5.    Grants of Options

      5.1   Non-discretionary  Grants.  On the Initial Grant Date, each Eligible
            Director  shall  receive the grant of an Option to  purchase  10,000
            Shares;  provided,  however,  each  Eligible  Director  described in
            clause (y) of Section 2.7 hereof shall receive an Option to purchase
            5,000 Shares. On each Grant Date thereafter,  each Eligible Director
            shall receive the grant of an Option to purchase 5,000 Shares.

      5.2   Adjustments.  The number of Shares subject to any Option shall be
            subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with Section 
            11 hereof.

6.    Term of Plan

      This Plan shall become effective as of August 23, 1995 (the "Effective 
      Date")


<PAGE>



      upon its  adoption by the Board,  and shall  continue in effect  until all
      Options granted  hereunder have expired or been  exercised,  unless sooner
      terminated  under the  provisions  relating  thereto.  No Option  shall be
      granted  after ten (10) years from the  earlier of the date of adoption of
      this Plan or its approval by the  stockholders  as contemplated by Section
      13.1.

7.    Terms of Option Agreement

      In connection with the grant of each Option,  the Company and the Eligible
      Director  shall enter into an Option  Agreement  which  shall  specify the
      Initial  Grant Date or the Grant Date,  as  applicable,  and the  purchase
      price of the Option Shares,  and shall include or incorporate by reference
      the substance of all of the following provisions and such other provisions
      consistent with this Plan as the Board may determine.

      7.1   Term.  The term  ("Term")  of an Option  shall be ten years from its
            grant  date,  subject  to earlier  termination  in  accordance  with
            Section 7.6 or 7.7 hereof.

      7.2   Exercise Schedule. Subject to Sections 7.6 and 7.7 hereof, an Option
            shall not be exercisable until (the "Exercisability  Date") (i) with
            respect to  Options  the  Initial  Grant Date of which is August 23,
            1995, the first  anniversary of the Approval Date; (ii) with respect
            to Options the Initial  Grant Date of which is  described  in clause
            (x) of Section  2.7  hereof,  the first  anniversary  of the Initial
            Grant Date; and (iii) with respect to all other  Options,  the first
            anniversary of the Grant Date. Each Option shall be exercisable with
            respect to  one-third of the Shares on the  Exercisability  Date and
            thereafter  shall become  exercisable with respect to the balance of
            the  Shares  in  equal  installments  on the last day of each of the
            eight  (8)  successive   three  (3)  month  periods   following  the
            Exercisability Date.

      7.3   Purchase  Price.  The purchase  price of the Shares  subject to each
            Option shall be the fair market value  thereof on the Initial  Grant
            Date or the Grant Date,  as  applicable.  For purposes of this Plan,
            fair market value shall mean the closing price of such Shares on the
            Nasdaq National Market  ("Nasdaq/NMS")  on the Initial Grant Date or
            the Grant Date,  as  applicable,  or, in the event the Initial Grant
            Date or Grant Date, as applicable,  is not a day on which Nasdaq/NMS
            is open for  trading  the next day on which  Nasdaq/NMS  is open for
            trading.

      7.4   Payment of Purchase  Price.  The purchase  price of Shares  acquired
            pursuant  to an Option  shall be paid in full at the time the Option
            is exercised in cash or by delivery of any property  other than cash
            (including  Shares or other  securities  of the Company,  so long as
            such  property   constitutes  valid  consideration  for  the  Shares
            purchased  under  applicable law and is surrendered in good form for
            transfer, or by some


<PAGE>



            combination  of cash and such other  property);  provided,  however,
            that the  purchase  price may not be paid by the  delivery of Shares
            more frequently than once every six months.

      7.5   Transferability.  No Option shall be transferable other than by will
            or the laws of  descent  and  distribution,  and an Option  shall be
            exercisable  during the  Eligible  Director's  lifetime  only by the
            Eligible Director.

      7.6   Termination  of  Membership  on  the  Board.   Notwithstanding   the
            installment  exercise  provision  set forth in Section 7.2 above and
            subject to the other terms and  conditions  set forth  herein,  each
            Option  held  by  an  Eligible  Director  shall  become  immediately
            exercisable  in  full  upon  (i) the  death  or  disability  of such
            Eligible Director,  or (ii) an unsuccessful attempt by such Eligible
            Director to win  re-election  to the Board (each of (i) and (ii), an
            "Acceleration Event"). Any Option held at the time of termination of
            an Eligible  Director's  membership on the Board as the result of an
            Acceleration  Event may be exercised in whole or in part at any time
            within one year after the date of such  termination (but in no event
            after  the  Term  of  the  Option  expires)  and  shall   thereafter
            automatically terminate.

      7.7   Change  of  Control.   Notwithstanding   the  installment   exercise
            provision  set forth in Section  7.2 above and  subject to the other
            terms and  conditions  set forth  herein,  each Option  shall become
            immediately exercisable in full on the date of a "change of control"
            as hereinafter  defined. A "change of control" shall mean any of the
            following:

            (i)   A sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the 
                  Company;

            (ii)  The  acquisition  of more than 80% of the Common  Stock of the
                  Company  (with all  classes  or series  thereof  treated  as a
                  single  class)  by any  person or group of  persons,  except a
                  Permitted  Shareholder  as  hereinafter  defined,   acting  in
                  Concert.  A "Permitted  Shareholder" means a holder, as of the
                  Effective Date of Common Stock;

            (iii) A reorganization  of the Company wherein the holders of Common
                  Stock of the  Company  receive  stock in  another  company,  a
                  merger of the Company with another company wherein there is an
                  80% or greater  change in the ownership of the Common Stock of
                  the Company as result of such merger, or any other transaction
                  in which the Company (other than as the parent corporation) is
                  consolidated for federal income tax purposes or is eligible to
                  be  consolidated  for federal income tax purposes with another
                  corporation;




<PAGE>



            (iv)  In the event that the Common Stock is traded on an established
                  securities  market: a public  announcement that any person has
                  acquired or has the right to acquire  beneficial  ownership of
                  51% or more of the then outstanding  Common Stock and for this
                  purpose the terms "person" and  "beneficial  ownership"  shall
                  have the meanings  provided in Section 13(d) of the Securities
                  and Exchange Act of 1934 or related rules  promulgated  by the
                  Securities and Exchange Commission,  or the commencement of or
                  public  announcement of an intention to make a tender offer or
                  exchange offer for 51% or more of the then outstanding  Common
                  Stock; or

            (v)   The Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine that
                  there has been a sufficient  change in the share  ownership of
                  the Company to  constitute a change of effective  ownership or
                  control of the Company.

8.    Use of Proceeds

      Proceeds  from the sale of Shares  pursuant  to this Plan shall be used by
      the Company for general corporate purposes.

9.    Term of Options

      The term of each  option  granted  under the Plan  shall be ten (10) years
      from the date of the grant  thereof,  subject  to earlier  termination  as
      herein provided.

10.   Exercise of Options; Waiver of Option Grants

      10.1  Procedures  for  Exercise.  Any Option  granted  hereunder  shall be
            exercisable  in  installments  as  specified  in Section 7.2 hereof,
            under such  conditions as the Board shall  designate under the terms
            of  the  Plan  and of  the  Option  Agreement.  To  the  extent  not
            exercised,  installments  shall,  unless  otherwise  provided in the
            Option  Agreement,  accumulate  and be  exercisable,  in whole or in
            part, at any time after becoming exercisable, but not later than the
            date the Option expires.

            An Option  shall be deemed to be exercised  when  written  notice of
            such exercise has been given to the Company in  accordance  with the
            terms of the Option by the person  entitled to  exercise  the Option
            and full  payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is
            exercised  has been  received by the Company.  Until the issuance of
            the stock certificates (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the
            books of the Company or of a duly  authorized  transfer agent of the
            Company),  no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights
            as  a  stockholder   shall  exist  with  respect  to  option  Shares
            notwithstanding  the exercise of the Option.  No adjustment  will be
            made for a dividend or other rights for


<PAGE>



            which the  record  date is prior to the date the stock  certificates
            are issues as provided in Section 11 hereof.

      10.2  Exercise  following  Death.  In the  case  of an  Optionee's  death,
            exercise shall be by the person or persons (including his estate) to
            whom his rights  under such  Option  shall have passed by will or by
            laws of descent and distribution.

      10.3  Compliance  with Law.  The  exercise of each Option  shall be on the
            condition  that  the  purchases  of  stock  thereunder  shall be for
            investment  purposes,  and not with a view to resale or distribution
            unless the Shares  subject to such Option are  registered  under the
            Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  or if in the opinion of counsel
            for  the  Company  such  registration  is  not  required  under  the
            Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  or any other  applicable  law,
            regulation, or rule of any governmental agency.

      10.4  Waiver of Option Grants.  The grant of any Option hereunder may be
            waived by an Eligible Director at any time prior to the making 
            thereof.

11.   Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization

      11.1  Changes in Capitalization. If the number of Shares of the Company as
            a whole are increased,  decreased or changed into, or exchanged for,
            a different  number or kind of shares or  securities of the Company,
            whether    through    merger,     consolidation,     reorganization,
            recapitalization,  reclassification,  stock  dividend,  stock split,
            combination  of  shares,  exchange  of shares,  change in  corporate
            structure or the like, an appropriate and  proportionate  adjustment
            shall be made in the number and kind of shares subject to this Plan,
            and in the  number,  kind,  and per share  exercise  price of Shares
            subject to unexercised  Options or portions thereof granted prior to
            any such  change.  Any such  adjustment  in an  outstanding  Option,
            however,  shall  be  made  without  a  change  in  the  total  price
            applicable  to the  unexercised  portion  of the  Option  but with a
            corresponding adjustment in the price for each Shares covered by the
            Option.

      11.2  Dissolution or  Liquidation.  Upon the dissolution or liquidation of
            the  Company,  this Plan and the  Options  issued  thereunder  shall
            terminate.

12.   Time of Granting Options

      The grant date of an Option  under this Plan  shall be the  Initial  Grant
      Date, or the Grant Date, as  applicable.  No option shall be granted after
      expiration of the term of this Plan.

            vote of a majority of such stockholders present, or represented at a
            meeting  duly held,  such  approval to be given  within  twelve (12)
            months before or after the date of adoption  hereof.  Options may be
            granted prior to such approval, but such Options shall be contingent
            upon such approval being obtained and may not be exercised  prior to
            such approval.

      13.2  Amendment.  The Board, without further approval of the stockholders,
            may  amend  this  Plan at any  time  and  from  time to time in such
            respects   as  the  Board  may  deem   advisable,   subject  to  any
            stockholders  or regulatory  approval  required by laws,  and to any
            conditions established by the terms of such amendment; provided that
            in no event  shall the Plan be amended  more than once every six (6)
            months; and provided, further, that no amendment that would:

               (a)  materially  increase the number of Shares that may be issued
                    under the Plan;

               (b)  materially  modify the  requirements  as to eligibility  for
                    participation in the Plan;

               (c)  otherwise  materially  increase  the  benefits  accruing  to
                    participants under the Plan;

               (d)  cause Rule 16b-3 to become  unavailable  with respect to the
                    Plan; or

               (e)  would violate the rules or regulations  of  Nasdaq/NMS,  any
                    other  securities  exchange or the National  Association  of
                    Securities   Dealers,   Inc.  that  are  applicable  to  the
                    Company/shall  be made without the approval of the Company's
                    stockholders.

      13.3  Termination and Suspension.  The Board,  without further approval of
            the  stockholders,  may at any time  terminate or suspend this Plan.
            Any such  termination  or  suspension  of the Plan  shall not affect
            Options  already granted and such Options shall remain in full force
            and effect as if this Plan had not been terminated or suspended.  No
            Option may be  granted  while the Plan is  suspended  or after it is
            terminated.  Rights and  obligations  under any Option granted while
            this  Plan  is in  effect  shall  not  be  altered  or  impaired  by
            suspension or termination  of this Plan,  except with the consent of
            the person to whom the Option was granted.

14.   Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares

      Shares shall not be issued with respect to any Option  granted  under this
      Plan unless the  exercise of such Option and the  issuance and delivery of
      such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant  provisions of
      law, and the  requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may
      then be listed or quoted,  and shall be further subject to the approval of
      counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.  Inability of the
      Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdictional
      authority deemed by its counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and
      sale of any Shares hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in
      respect  of the  non-issuance  of sale of such  Shares  as to  which  such
      requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

15.   Reservation of Shares

      The Company,  during the term of the Plan,  will at all times  reserve and
      keep  available a number of Shares as shall be  sufficient  to satisfy the
      requirements of the Plan.

                                    * * *





                                                               Exhibit 10.25.3


                         CURATIVE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                       DIRECTOR SHARE PURCHASE PROGRAM


Purpose of the Plan

The purpose of this Director Share Purchase Program (the "Plan") is to encourage
ownership of its common stock by its directors.

1.   Each director shall have the opportunity to elect to forego receipt of cash
     payments of such  director's  annual  retainer and director's  fees and, in
     lieu thereof,  to receive shares of CTI's common stock (the "Common Stock")
     equal to the  quotient  obtained by dividing  the amount of cash payment by
     the fair market value.  The fair market value (as defined below) of a share
     of Common Stock as of the close of business on the date (the "Determination
     Date") such cash payment would  otherwise have been made in accordance with
     CTI's  policies  as then in effect.  Such  shares of Common  Stock shall be
     deemed  issued on and as of the  Determination  Date.  If such  number is a
     fraction, such number shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and
     the director shall receive the cash equivalent of such fraction or, if such
     director so elects,  such director shall pay to CTI an amount of cash equal
     to the  difference  between  such fair market  value and the amount of such
     cash  equivalent,  in which case such  director,  upon making such payment,
     shall  receive  one  additional  share of Common  Stock  rather than a cash
     payment for any  fractional  amount.  "Fair  market  value"  shall mean the
     closing  price  of a share  of  Common  Stock  as  reported  for  composite
     transactions,  if the Common Stock is then traded on a national  securities
     exchange,  the last sale  price of a share of Common  Stock,  if the Common
     Stock is then quoted on the NASDAQ National  Market System,  or the average
     closing  representative  bid and asked prices of a share of Common Stock as
     reported  on  NASDAQ  on the date as of which  fair  market  value is being
     determined.

2.   Each  director  shall also have the  opportunity  to elect to  receive  his
     entire  annual  retainer in Common Stock in a lump sum. If such election is
     made,  CTI shall make a one-time  payment of such  retainer in Common Stock
     and shall apply such  entire  amount at the time the first  installment  of
     such retainer would otherwise have been payable for purposes of determining
     the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such director. If such
     election  is  not  made,   such  retainer  shall  be  paid  in  semi-annual
     installments (or in such other  installments as CTI may determine from time
     to time), in which case,  such director's  election to receive Common Stock
     in lieu of cash shall be made with respect to each installment.




<PAGE>


3.   If CTI's policies, as in effect from time to time, against trading in CTI's
     shares of Common  Stock,  would  prohibit a  director's  purchase of Common
     Stock on the  Determination  Date,  then the  Determination  Date  shall be
     postponed  until  the  first  date that such  policies  would  permit  such
     purchase  to be made.  In  addition,  notwithstanding  any  election by any
     director,  such  director  shall not be  entitled  to receive any shares of
     Common Stock hereunder on any Determination  Date if such director has sold
     any  shares  of  Common  Stock  within  the  six-month  period  immediately
     preceding such date.

4.   CTI will use best efforts to register  the shares of Common Stock  issuable
     here under on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Unless
     and until such shares are so registered , such shares may not be offered or
     sold by any director  unless such shares are  registered  under such Act or
     such director  furnishes  CTI with an opinion of counsel  acceptable to CTI
     that the offer and sale of such shares are exempt from such registration.

5.   CTI will  furnish to each  director,  in advance of the payment date of the
     retainer  and fees in question,  a form to be completed  and signed by such
     director with respect to the election,  if any, by such director to receive
     Common in lieu of cash.
