NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997
(Unaudited)
The information presented herein as of March 31, 1998, and for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, is unaudited.
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Rule 10-01 of Regulations S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal required
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1998, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report of Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 1997.
(2) COMMITMENTS:
On July 7, 1994, the Company entered into a five year noncancelable operating
lease for office space, commencing November 1994. The Company has an option to
rent additional space and a purchase option in which ten percent of the lease
payments may be applied to the purchase price.
Rent expense under the foregoing lease and all other operating leases was $5,859
and $5,610 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Effective January 1, 1995, the Company obtained an exclusive right to market a
dietary supplement in the United States for three years. The Company agreed to
pay approximately $60,000 for this right. The agreement allows the Company to
recover this fee through discounts on inventory purchased through December 31,
1997. The license fee was amortized on a straight-line basis over the three year
period of the contract and was fully amortized at December 31, 1997.
Amortization expense in 1997 was $20,000. In January 1998, this agreement was
extended until December 31, 1998, including the right of first refusal to
reobtain its exclusive marketing rights during this period. The Company is
required to order additional inventory of approximately $15,000 by March 31,
1998, under the terms of this agreement extension. This agreement deadline was
further extended on March 23, 1998 to June 1, 1998. The Company paid
approximately $5,500 in January 1998 toward this obligation.
In May 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Diversified Corporate
Consulting Group, L.C., an unrelated company, to provide consulting services to
be completed within 12 months. In return, the Company issued Diversified 110,110
shares of the Company's common stock, a quantity equal to 10% of all then
outstanding common stock, in lieu of document licensing fees and of required
cash payments for up to an aggregate of 130 hours of hourly consulting and
licensing fees.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997
(Unaudited)
(2) COMMITMENTS (Continued):
The Company entered into an agreement with Cyclops h. f. (Cyclops), a company
located in Reykjavik, Iceland, in May 1996 to secure limited exclusivity to
certain inventions embodied in patents owned by Cyclops for the purpose of
creating an organization that would commercialize products using those
inventions. In consideration, the Company agreed to share equally with Cyclops
the net profits derived from products commercialized by the Company or
affiliates of the Company that use the inventions. This agreement expired in May
1997.
In April 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with Atlantic Syndication
Network, Inc. (ASNI) for the production of a half hour premier cable program.
The Company paid $2,500 in 1997 to reserve production time and also issued to
ASNI 10,000 shares of the Company's voting common stock. The Company also
granted ASNI an option to purchase up to 25,000 shares of its non-voting common
stock at a purchase price of $1 per share, within one year of May 31, 1997. As
of March 31, 1998, no stock options had been exercised.
The Company has other commitments as discussed in Notes 6 and 8.
(3) COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO REPURCHASE:
During 1994, the Company adopted a nonqualified employee stock issuance plan to
provide incentives to employees. Stock issued under this plan is at the
discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and bears a restrictive
legend. All shares issued pursuant to this Plan must be held for a minimum of
two years and become fully vested after five years. During the three year period
beginning on the first day of the third year after issuance and ending five
years after issuance, the Company shall purchase all or any part of the shares
from the employee upon the employee's written request; the purchase price of the
shares shall be 50% of the then current market value of the shares.
The Company has reserved 100,000 of its 10,000,000 voting common stock shares
authorized to be used under this Plan.
In December 1994, the Company issued 25,000 shares to employees for future
services under this plan. The Company valued the 25,000 shares at $37,500, which
was approximately 50% less than the bid price at the date of issuance. The
quoted market price was not used to value the stock since the stock does not
trade freely in an established market and, thus, a market price could not
accurately be established. The Company recorded the $37,500 as stock issued for
future services, which was classified as a reduction to stockholders' equity in
the accompanying financial statements. The Company amortized this amount over
five years on the straight-line basis, the estimated benefit period of the
future services.
On June 30, 1997, all of the remaining employees holding stock issued under the
employee stock issuance plan noted above, terminated employment with the
Company. At that time, the remaining unamortized amount of the stock issued for
future services was charged to expense.

(3) COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO REPURCHASE: (Continued)
The Company expensed $1,437 under the stock issuance plan for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997.
In 1997 the Common Stock Subject to Repurchase was reflected on the balance
sheet at 50% of the market value as of the balance sheet date, which resulted in
a $10,938 expense in the accompanying statement of operations as "Gain (loss)
due to change in redemption price on common stock subject to repurchase." In
1998 the common stock subject to repurchase is reflected on the balance sheet at
50% of the market value as of June 30, 1997, the employees termination date. No
shares have been repurchased by the Company through March 31, 1998. The
Company's obligation to repurchase the remaining 5,000 shares of common stock
expires in 1999.
(4) MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS:
Sales to the three largest customers were approximately 67% and 73% of total
sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
(5) NOTES PAYABLE:
The Company has a $25,000 line-of-credit with a local bank during 1997. The
monthly minimum payment is calculated based on the outstanding balance. The
interest rate varies monthly at prime plus 3% (currently 11.5%). The Company
owes approximately $17,738 at March 31, 1998. The credit line can be canceled
and payment of the outstanding amount due can be required on demand by the bank
at anytime.
(6) JOINT VENTURES:
Effective May 1, 1995, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement under
the name of Ocudex, Inc. (Ocudex). The Company and Ocumed, Inc., an unrelated
company, each own 50% of Ocudex. The Company has advanced Ocudex $51,000 as of
March 31, 1998. The Company accounts for its investment in the Ocudex joint
venture using the equity method of accounting whereby its investment is carried
at cost, including advances, adjusted for the Company's share of earnings and
losses. The Company reduced its investment in the joint venture to zero at
December 31, 1997, due to uncertainty as to recovery of these amounts.
In March 1997, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Jurox PTY
Limited (Jurox), an unrelated company, in order to develop a new product.
According to the agreement, each party shall be separately responsible for their
own costs for the development of the product, then the Company agrees to provide
the developed product to Jurox at the cost to manufacture plus 10%. Jurox agrees
to pay the Company royalties on net sales of the product as follows:
5% of net sales for the first year of sales, 4% of net sales for the
second year of sales, and 3% of net sales for a further 8 years.
No transactions have taken place as of March 31, 1998.

(7) INCOME TAXES:
During the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company provided a
100% valuation allowance for the income tax benefit resulting from the
respective net loss for the periods presented. Therefore, no income tax expense
or benefit is provided in the accompanying statement of operations.
(8) DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS:
On October 14, 1997, the Company entered into a financial services agreement
with an unrelated company for financial consulting services related to raising
additional capital. Under this agreement, the Company issued an option for
600,000 shares of the Company's common stock with an exercise price of $.25 per
share, which is approximately 50% of the market price on the date the parties
agreed to the terms of the agreement. The quoted market price was not used to
value the stock since the stock does not trade freely in an established market
and, thus, a market price could not accurately be established. The Company also
agreed to pay the consultant $85,000 in installments of $20,000 in October 1997,
and $5,000 each month thereafter until November 1998. Beginning in March 1998
the agreement was amended to provide apyment of the remaining installments
through the future issuance of the Company's common stock. The Company has
accrued all earned but unpaid amounts at March 31, 1998. The number of shares to
be issued is determined monthly by dividing $5,000 by 50% of the average market
price of the stock during the month the compensation is earned. The Company had
paid $42,500 and accrued $7,500 as of March 31, 1998. The agreement is
cancelable by either party by giving sixty days notice.
As the Company is currently preparing for a private placement to raise
additional capital in 1998, the costs under this agreement and the direct costs
of preparing a business plan have been classified as deferred charges. The total
amount deferred at December 31, 1997, is $35,000. These and any additional
deferred costs will be offset against the net proceeds of the offering or will
be expensed upon the expiration of the offering.
(9) NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:
Net loss per common share is computed in accordance with the new requirements of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128) at March 31, 1998
and 1997. SFAS 128 requires net loss per share information to be computed using
a simple weighted average of common shares outstanding during the periods
presented. SFAS 128 eliminated the previous requirement that earnings per share
include the effect of any dilutive common stock equivalents in the calculation.
Common shares outstanding do not include common stock subject to repurchase.
There was no effect on the 1998 or previously reported 1997 net loss per common
share amounts as a result of this change in accounting method.
The stated net loss per share amounts do not include any potential dilutive
effect if certain options issued in 1997 to purchase an additional 625,000
shares of the Company's common stock were exercised.

Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 1998, the Company's working capital was $74,647 compared to
$108,781 at December 31, 1997. This reduction is due primarily to the purchase
of office equipment and the loss from operations.
Total product sales decreased during the first quarter of 1998 by $35,326 (44%)
compared to the first quarter of 1997. This decrease in sales is due to general
sales volatility as historically experienced by the Company. However, April 1998
orders already exceed the level of sales for the three months ended March 31,
1998. Selling, General and Administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased by over 17%
due principally to reduced personnel costs.
Inventory continues to be dominated (68%) by the Garlessence(R) retail product
and therefore masks the steady movement of the other components of that
inventory. While product sales have decreased, management has continued to
maintain appropriate inventory levels in response to the normal customer sales.
Management expects consulting fee revenues to increase which may offset product
sale volatility.
The three year period of time (starting January 1, 1995) in which the Company
could recover its original licensing fee for Garlessence of $60,000 through
discounted purchases of raw materials expired at the end of 1997 and the license
fee has been fully amortized. The Company has recovered $9,137 of its license
fee through purchase discounts. The Company continues to negotiate with the
German company to maintain its exclusivity in the U.S. The Company has been
assured that it has right-of-first-refusal status and may continue to recover
its original licensing fee through purchase discounts until December 31, 1998.
The Company will continue to seek out distribution arrangements that will allow
it to recover all of its Garlessence(R) licensing prepayment fee and inventory
costs and to meet its commitments to the licensor. In the first quarter of 1998,
the Company sold less than $100 of Garlessence. However, Management is currently
working with a small health products telemarketing company in Arizona, Life
Enrichment, to include Garlessence(R) in its promotions. Advertisement and
promotion of Garlessence(R) by Life Enrichment is expected to begin in the
second quarter of 1998. Management believes that as a last resort it can recover
at least the inventory value of the Garlessence(R) by selling it to companies
that purchase such inventory. Since the Garlessence(R) inventory has a greater
than five year shelf life, the Company fully expects to recover all of its
investment in this product.
In order to alleviate a potential short term cash shortage resulting from the
reduced sales levels in December 1997 and early in 1998, Rick Strattan,
President, made a shareholder's loan to the Company in March of approximately
$16,800 ($13,000 from a 4.9% personal loan account; and $3,800 from a 90 day
same as cash purchase of computer equipment). Historically, there is always at
least one period during each year where slow sales cause a receivables lag. Such
periods can be weathered by extending the Company's payables. Management
believed that a short term loan from a friendly creditor would be better than
extending payables at this time. The loan is being amortized over a 12 month
period at 8% interest with payments due the first of each month. Management does
not expect further funding to be required to meet the Company's cash needs.
To meet the financial needs of expected future growth, the Company filed a
registration statement with the SEC to make a public offering in 1996 and 1997
of 250,000 shares of common stock and 125,000 warrants of the Company. No shares
of stock were sold in this offering. The offering closed April 30, 1997 and the
Company expensed the previously capitalized deferred offering costs ($127,467)
in the second quarter of 1997. While most of these offering costs were non-cash,
the net result was a large negative impact on the financial results reported for
the year ended December 31, 1997.
In February 1998, the Company paid off the outstanding balance of $14,001 on its
first line of credit. This credit line was not renewed. As of March 31, 1998,
approximately $17,750 is outstanding on the remaining $25,000 line of credit.
The Company is in the fourth year of a five-year lease for 3,000 square feet of
space for an office, laboratory, and manufacturing plant. The Company moved into
the building during October 1994. Rent payments are $18,000 in year one, $18,900
in year two, $19,484 in year three, $20,844 in year four, and $21,888 in year
five. The Company also has a purchase option on this space in which ten percent
of the lease payments may be applied to the purchase price. The Company may
exercise an option to lease an additional 3,000 square feet of adjoining space.
The Company houses its administrative offices, laboratory, and manufacturing
facility in this complex, utilizing an aggregate of approximately 1,650 square
feet. This facility has been built, and can be expanded, according to "GMP"
(good manufacturing practices) specifications in anticipation of the commercial
needs of the markets the Company serves. The remaining 1,350 square feet of
space is for pilot plant manufacturing and an analytical laboratory. However,
this expansion will require additional funding and there is no assurance that
any additional funding will be available. Management has no immediate plans for
this expansion.
The Company's right-of-first-refusal (ROFR) with Cyclops h.f. (CyC) to certain
inventions embodied in patents owned by Cyclops expired in September of 1997.
Licenses to specific ophthalmic drugs benefiting from CyC's inventions will now
have to be negotiated with the German company that holds these rights. The
Company feels confident that rights to these inventions can be obtained at least
for sales in the United States. Contingent upon a successful private placement
of the Company's stock in the second or third quarter of 1998 the Company
expects to file New Drug Applications with the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) for the licensed ophthalmic products. There is no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain licenses to the CyC inventions or that the
private placement proposed will raise sufficient capital to undertake the New
Drug Applications.
On May 1, 1995 the Company entered into a joint venture operating as Ocudex,
Inc. The Company and Ocumed, Inc., (Ocumed) an unrelated company, each own 50%
of Ocudex. The Company had agreed to provide funds on a best efforts basis of
not more than $10,000 per month for up to 12 months. As of March 31, 1998 the
Company had advanced a total of $51,000 and realized losses of $11,094 to date.
Since there was no activity at Ocudex during all of 1997 and the Company's
efforts to acquire the assets of Ocumed, did not materialize, the Company
provided an allowance in the fourth quarter of 1997 for the remaining investment
in the amount of $40,406. The corporate shell will remain available for future
use as the Company will continue to work with Ocumed to bring ophthalmic drugs
using cyclodextrins to the market.
In May of 1996 the Company entered into a contractual agreement with Diversified
Corporate Consulting Group, LLC (DCCG), whereby the Company transferred 110,010
shares of CTD's voting common stock to DCCG in return for future financial
services related to business and financial public relations improvement as
defined in its agreement. While this agreement expired in May of 1997, the
Company continues to utilize DCCG's services on a best efforts basis. Management
anticipates benefits will be realized in 1998 from the retaining of DCCG (now
called Genesis Consulting (GCLLC)).
Through GCLLC the Company retained the services of Burckhardt & Company, Inc
(B&C). to coordinate the private placement that will make possible the Company's
planned ophthalmic drug applications to the FDA. Planning for this private
placement began in late 1997 and the Company has spent $40,000 and $2,500 in the
form of consulting fees to B&C and Executive Concepts, respectively. The Company
has also recorded $2,500 in stock to be issued to Executive Concepts and $5000
in stock to be issued to B&C. Since these costs are directly attributable to the
proposed private placement, they have been classified as deferred charges. The
total amount deferred as of March 31, 1998 is $50,000. B&C has advised the
Company that the private placement should be complete in the second quarter of
1998.
The private placement is expected to raise $2,000,000; to be used as follows:
Initial costs to secure Licenses and
Intellectual Property $ 250,000
File IND 50,000
Complete IND studies 300,000
Working Capital for completing Phase I & II studies 850,000
Working Capital for Administering IND through Phase
II applications 400,000
Private Placement Costs 150,000
------------
Total $2,000,000
The Company expects the above process to be completed within 12 months of an
initial IND application; such application could occur as early as the end of
June 1998. Management expects to be able to move several related ophthalmic drug
products through the above process at much reduced incremental costs. Using this
strategy, the Company anticipates licensing one or more of the drugs that have
completed phase II studies to interested ophthalmic manufacturing companies,
thereby creating revenue from these licenses early in 1999. These licensing
arrangements provide a proof of concept and thereby are expected to provide
credibility for a possible future public offering. Using the licensing revenues
and/or the proceeds of such a public offering, the Company expects to take drugs
not out-licensed, completely through marketing approval by the FDA (Phase III).
While there are no assurances that the above private placement can be completed,
both B&C and GCLLC have committed considerable resources to its accomplishment.
Management has structured the drug applications so that even if only 50%
($1,000,000) of the private placement proceeds become available to the Company,
the Company will be able to complete phase II studies on at least one of the
ophthalmic drugs to be submitted; however the planned economies of multiple,
related drug applications will be lost. Once the phase I and II studies are
complete, Management believes it can approach investors for additional funding
based on the phase I and II data. Additional capital will be required if the
Company is to complete the phase III approvals itself. Without additional
capital, the Company could license the phase I and II data and through licensing
royalties over time generate revenue.
In the case that less than the $1,000,000 is raised, the Company will allocate
funds between doing an IND for the best pharmaceutical candidate and creating
retail over-the-counter products that require minimal regulatory intervention
such as contact lens soak solutions, benzocaine patches, plaque-softening
chewing gum, etc to be marketed or sub-licensed by the Company. In the event
that no further funding is available, Management believes that it can
sub-license its secured licensing rights along with the completed IND to a large
ophthalmic company to recover its costs and generate revenues.
In the second quarter of 1996, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation
whereby the number of voting shares authorized was increased from 5,000,000 to
10,000,000. In addition, non-voting common shares were created. The total amount
of non-voting common shares authorized is 10,000,000.
In continuing to implement its strategic plan of acquiring and developing new
products through licensing and joint ventures, the Company, on March 10, 1997,
entered into a royalty-bearing agreement with Jurox Pty, Ltd., an Australian
company manufacturing and selling veterinary pharmaceuticals, to jointly develop
a cyclodextrin/alfaxalone veterinary anesthetic product. As of March 31, 1998 no
sales of these products have occurred.
During 1997 CTD was awarded a judgement in the amount of $50,000 against WTDT, a
production company and television station in South Florida, for breach of
contract to provide services related to the marketing and sales of
Garlessence(R). The Company paid WTDT $22,000 in 1995 to secure their services
and was awarded additional compensatory costs and damages. WTDT has filed for
protection under Chapter 11 bankruptcy rules. No amount is expected to be
recovered from this judgement and the Company has not recorded any amount
related to this judgement in its financial statements.
In a continuing effort to let the public know about the benefits of
cyclodextrins, the Company accepted the opportunity to appear on the premier of
a proposed new television show called The Stock Show. The purpose of this weekly
series was to bring to the attention of its viewers OTC bulletin board companies
that presented significant growth opportunities. In April of 1997, Company
management entered into an agreement with Atlantic Syndication Network, Inc.
(ASNI), a Las Vegas based production company, to contribute to the production
fees necessary to produce the first show as follows:
(a) $2,500.00 cash
(b) 10,000 shares of freely trading, voting common stock of CTD
(c ) options to purchase 25,000 shares of non-voting common stock of
CTD for $1.00/share
In return, CTD would be guaranteed at least two airings of the 1/2 hour
show on television and satellite networks as ASNI could secure the air-time.
At least two airings of the show occurred on KDOC, a Los Angeles TV station;
and LVTN (Las Vegas TV Network), a satellite TV network. The Company also
received tapes of the show for its own promotional uses. As of December 31,
1997 the agreement with ASNI has been completed and no further events are
expected.
In response to the need for consulting services by major companies
commercializing CD applications, the Company entered into an agreement with
NuPharm, Inc., a Canadian company manufacturing metered dose inhalants (MDI's).
The Company agreed to provide research and development services for NuPharm on
cyclodextrin/respiratory drug complexes for potential use in MDI's. CTD expects
to recognize increasing revenues from these services and other similar services
provided by the Company. No consulting revenues were recognized in the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Management has evaluated the Company's computer systems to determine the impact
of the Year 2000 (Y2K) on the Company's operations. Management has completed its
evaluation and determined that both the hardware and software used by the
Company are Y2K capable and no additional cost or impact on operations is
expected.
Results of Operations
Sales of cyclodextrins and related manufactured complexes are historically
highly volatile. In efforts to offset this volatility, the Company continues to
expand its revenue producing activities to include providing research and
development services for unrelated companies and expanding its inventory line
to include
more routinely purchased products. While sales are still volatile, Management
feels that these efforts will reduce the volatility and that total product and
service sales will continue to grow through the year 2000.
Total product sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were $44,284 compared
to $79,610 for the same period in 1997. While total sales between these two
periods decreased 44%, management expects the food industry's interest in
cyclodextrins to increase due to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA)
announcement that Beta cyclodextrin is now Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS)
in certain food related applications. The Company has already experienced the
impact of the FDA's approval as orders of product for April 1998 exceed actual
sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998
Product sales are primarily to large pharmaceutical and food companies for
research and development purposes. Sales of both products and services have been
concentrated among a few large customers.
The Company's gross profit margin on product sales increased from 73% to 80% for
the first quarter of 1997 and 1998, respectively. Future retail sales of
Garlessence at a gross profit of approximately 25% will contribute to overall
profitability, but at a substantial reduction in gross profit percentage. The
Company expects the prior trend of decreasing gross profit margins to re-emerge
as the cost of cyclodextrins rises and retail sales of Garlessence and other
lower margin products occur.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the first quarter 1998
($57,529 vs. $69,440) decreased 17% from the first quarter 1997. This decrease
is primarily the result of a reduction in personnel and related costs made in
1997. Management continues to monitor SG&A expenses in efforts to keep these
expenses minimized.
The Company's net loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998
was $21,912 versus $11,128 for the same period in 1997 primarily due to a
$35,326 decrease in sales between the two periods offset by reduced expenses in
the 1998 period. The Company will continue to develop new products, and
implement its strategy of creating operational affiliates that will use CD's in
herbal medicines, wastewater remediation, and pharmaceuticals.
