Have you considered improving your medical diagnostic kits with cyclodextrins?
Chairman's Letter
November 23, 2010
To: Shareholders
From: C.E. Rick
Strattan
Chairman
An Integrated In-house Investor Relations (Triple IR)
program is under development and is being tested in the 4th Quarter
and if proved effective, will continue in 2011,.The board, led by the 21st century
Tate, has finally prevailed on the tightwad chairman to overcome his aversion
to spending on such activities, and to create and staff this function within
CTDH.
With the release of the very forward-looking third quarter 10-Q
that shows near record sales for the past quarter, an 8% reduction in salary
expenses over the same 9-month period in 2009 (even though we picked up a new
executive salary), and a strong balance sheet.As usual, we did show an overall accounting loss due to non-cash
expenses and greater increased professional legal and auditing fees.With a quarter like the one we just had, we
would normally show a good chunk of cash going into the bank.Why would any self-respecting CEO/Chairman
want to do that at current bank rates?Well not me!We continue to add
to the $400,000 we’ve already put into the 7,200 square foot new Pulse Drying
plant over by the University of Florida Research Park in Alachua, Florida.
Here in a nutshell, is why the company is investing like it
is:
So far (up to November 15) the company has sold 376 Kg of
Trappsol® products for $550,000; that’s just under $1500/kg.In that same period we have sold 3.5 Kg of
Aquaplex® products for $76,700; that’s just under $22,000/Kg.I ask you, long-suffering shareholders, which
product should we concentrate on?
Well, that’s what we are doing!That’s why NanoSonic Products, Inc. (NSP) was
created; why Dr. Jeffrey Tate, very likely one of the most knowledgeable Pulse
Drying experts (not to give too much credit – it is a rare bird) in the world
was hired.
By being able to make our own Aquaplex® V-A CD complexes (we
currently have them made for us by a much less cost-effective manufacturing
procedure), NSP will be able to sell them for considerably less than $22,000 a
kilogram to maintain an even better competitive price, but more importantly,
supply them in large quantities to large companies in many industries to create
even greater revenues.One metric ton of
an Aquaplex® product selling at $5,000 per kilogram would result in $5MM of
revenue.
OK! OK! So there’s a fly in that ointment.What if the demand stays at 4 Kg’s?I don’t think so.Ask Procter and Gamble (Febreeze® and
Bounce®) how many kg’s of the V-A CD complex they use in those two products.
Not to worry, we’re not abandoning Trappsol®.Oh no, not a product that now accounts for
87.8% of the company’s revenue.After
all, a product line that has 3 customers that buy more than $70,000 per year; 7
customers that buy more than $30,000 per year; and finally 10 customers that
buy more than $10,000 per year shouldn’t be trifled with.And, one of the customers in the >$30,000/year
category is likely to jump into the $100,000 category before the year is
out.Oh my, we even picked up a brand
new account mid-year that is already in the >$30,000/yr category and will
contractually be in the >$100,000/yr category in 2011.
We at CTDH consider the Trappsol® line the largest un-mined
vein of gold in the world.With
Trappsol® CD as part of the new Ferrazo-2B oil recovery and remediation product
line, we expect Trappsol® volume and sales to continue to be the primary
revenue engine for the short- to mid- term until the NSP plant reaches its
target of 200 days of annual production.When Trappsol® Cyclo™ gets its NDA approval; it will be interesting to
see which product line will produce the most revenue.
Ferrazo Environmental Technologies, Inc. has been created to
promote and manage the Ferrazo-2B product line.Ferrazo-2B is by far the safest material shown by the testing used to
qualify for EPA’s National Contingency Plan (NCP) list.The NCP filing is in progress and we expect
to be on the list before the end of the year.
Sphingo Biotechnology, Inc. is also newly created to manage
the Trappsol® Cyclo™ development into a prescription drug and to promote Cyclo™
as the ameliorative treatment for other diseases that may involve cholesterol
transport dysfunction, like adult Alzheimer’s, coronary artery disease, AIDS,
and diabetes.
Those of you that have persevered with CTDH, now is the time
to be building up your ownership position.We at CTDH expect March of 2011 to be a coming out time for the company.
Respectfully Submitted,
C.E. Rick Strattan
