PROPOSAL 2 - AMENDING THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO EXPAND THE BUSINESS PURPOSE OF THE CORPORATION, TO INCREASE THE CAPITALIZATION OF THE CORPORATION, AND TO ADD INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS FOR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, a proposal will be considered and acted upon to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation: to expand and alter the business Purpose of the Corporation; to increase the Capital Stock of the Corporation from 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock to 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock; and to insert and include indemnification provisions for the Corporation's officers and directors. The Board of Directors recommends for shareholder approval the proposal to expand and alter the business Purpose of the corporation. The Company believes that the proposed changes in the business Purpose, would allow the Company to further expand, and pursue growth, through equity investment in other businesses. The Company contemplates pursuing limited equity investments in businesses offering growth and profitability. A limited equity investment would limit and/or reduce risk, maintain control and avoid ongoing operational or capital expenses. The Board of Directors recommends for shareholder approval the proposal to increase the Capital Stock of the Corporation from 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock to 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. The Company believes that the proposed increase in Capitalization would provide, in part: availability for future dividends and distributions to existing shareholders, creation of an employee stock option program, availability in raising additional capital, availability for possible acquisitions and the ability to accommodate and support the change in the business Purpose, providing for Company expansion and growth. The Board of Directors recommends for shareholder approval the proposal to insert and include indemnification provisions for the Corporation's officers and directors. The Company believes that, although indemnification is available to Company officers and directors under state law, and the Company By-laws, the proposed inclusion of indemnification provisions, will allow the Company to aggressively pursue and attract highly importantqualified and experienced individuals to serve as directors. The proposal to be voted upon would amend Article IV and Article V, and insert Article X into the Company's Articles of Incorporation, so that the paragraphs would read as follows: Article IV Purpose.

PROPOSAL 3 - APPROVAL OF 1:4 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF THE CORPORATION'S COMMON SHARES The Board of Directors recommends for shareholder approval the proposal to effect a one-for-four (1:4) reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company. See "Business - General." EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Executive compensation isThe proposed reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company as of the record date from 4,846,220 to approximately 1,211,555. Except for changes in the number of shares of stock issued and outstanding, the rights and privileges of holders of shares of Common Stock will remain the same, both before and after the proposed reverse stock split. The proposed stock split would become effective on the date of shareholder approval (the "Effective Date"). Commencing on the Effective Date, each currently outstanding certificate will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of the reduced number of shares resulting from the proposed reverse stock split.

All compensation paidThe Company believes that the proposed reverse stock split is necessary to enable the Common Stock to trade at an appropriate price per share for, among other reasons, NASDAQ or exchange listing application purposes. The Board of Directors recommends that all shareholders vote "FOR" approval of the Two nominees to the Company's Board of Directors, and "FOR" approval of the proposed amendments to the Articles of Incorporation of CTD Holdings, Inc., and "FOR" approval of a 1:4 reverse stock split of the corporation's common shares.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND RELATED INFORMATION The Board of Directors sets the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, reviews the design, administration and effectiveness of compensation programs for other key executives, and approves stock option grants for all executive officers. The Board of Directors believes that compensation programs should be designed to attract, motivate and retain talented executives, and should be determined within a competitive framework and based on the achievement of designated financial targets, individual contribution, customer satisfaction and financial performance relative to that of the Company's competitors. Within this overall philosophy, the Company's objectives are to: Offer a total compensation program that takes into consideration the compensation practices of a group of peer companies and other selected companies with which the Company competes for executive talent (the "Peer Companies"); Provide annual variable incentive awards that take into account the Company's overall financial performance in terms of designated corporate objectives, as well as individual contributions and customer satisfaction; Align the financial interests of executive officers with those of shareholders by providing significant equity-based, long-term incentives.The three fiscal years ended December 31, 1993, 1994major components of the Company's executive officer compensation are: (i) base salary, (ii) variable incentive awards, and 1995(iii) long-term, equity-based incentive awards. The base salary for each executive officer is set forthdetermined at levels considered appropriate for comparable positions at Peer Companies. To reinforce the attainment of Company goals, the Board of Directors believes that a substantial portion of the annual compensation of each executive officer should be in the form of variable incentive pay. The annual incentive pool for executive officers is determined on the basis of the Company's achievement of the financial performance targets established at the beginning of the fiscal year. The incentive plan sets a threshold level of Company performance based on both revenue and profit before interest and taxes that must be attained before any incentives are awarded. The Board of Directors determines the size of long-term, equity-based incentives according to each executive's position within the Company and sets a level it considers appropriate to create a meaningful opportunity for stock ownership. In addition, the Board of Directors takes into account an individual's recent performance, potential for future responsibility and promotion, and the number of unvested options held by each individual at the time of the new grant. SUMMARY OF CASH AND CERTAIN OTHER COMPENSATION The following table:table sets forth the compensation earned, by the Company's Chief Executive Officers for services rendered in all capacities to the Company and its subsidiaries for each of the last three fiscal years.

The individuals included in the table will be collectively referred to as the "Named Officers."
