Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1) Nature of Business
CPS Technologies Corporation (the “Company” or “CPS”) provides advanced material solutions to the electronics, power generation, automotive, defense and other industries. The Company’s primary advanced material solution is metal-matrix composites ("MMC") which are a combination of metal and ceramic.
CPS also assembles housings and packages for hybrid circuits. These housings and packages may include components made of metal-matrix composites or they may include components made of more traditional materials such as aluminum.
Using its proprietary MMC technology, the Company also produces light-weight armor, particularly for extreme environments and heavy threat levels.
The Company also engages in research and development, in some cases government funded and in others internally funded, focused on developing new products in response to customer requirements. These products expand our offerings in existing markets and enable penetration into new markets.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
As permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, these notes are condensed and do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of CPS reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for such periods.
The Company’s balance sheet at December 28, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024 and in CPS’s other SEC reports, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the Company’s website at www.cpstechnologysolutions.com.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
(3) Marketable Securities
Investments consist of U.S. Treasury Bills with maturities up to one year. Since it is not currently managements intention to hold these debt securities until the maturity dates, these have been classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”) and are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other comprehensive income.
(4) Fair value of Marketable Securities
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) states that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes which inputs should be used in measuring fair value, is comprised of: (Level I) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level II) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly and (Level III) unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data. The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available in determining fair value. CPS’ marketable securities consist solely of US Government bonds with a maturity of 12 months or less and which fall under Level II of the fair value hierarchy. The value of these bonds as of June 28, 2025 was $

(5) Net Income Per Common and Common Equivalent Share
Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares plus additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential dilutive common shares had been issued for granted stock options and stock purchase rights. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted calculations when a net loss is incurred as they would be anti-dilutive. Had there been a profit in Q2 and year to date in 2024, the dilutive effect would have been

(6) Commitments & Contingencies
Commitments
Operating Leases
The Company has one real estate lease expiring in February 2026. CPS also has a few other leases for equipment which are minor in nature and are generally short-term in duration. None of these equipment leases have been capitalized as the Company elected an accounting policy for short-term leases, which allows lessees to avoid recognizing right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with terms of 12 months or fewer.
The real estate lease expiring in 2026 (the “Norton facility lease”) is included as a right-of-use lease asset and corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet. This asset and liability was recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at commencement date. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The Norton facility lease comprises approximately

Finance Leases

(7) Share-Based Payments
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company provides an estimate of forfeitures at initial grant date. Reductions in compensation expense associated with the forfeited options are estimated at the date of grant, and this estimated forfeiture rate is adjusted periodically based on actual forfeiture experience. The company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the stock options granted.
During the quarter ended June 28, 2025, stock options were granted to employees under the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and stock options were granted to outside directors during the quarter ended June 28, 2025. For the six months ended June 28, 2025 a total of
During the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, there were options exercised and corresponding shares issued. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2024, there were no options exercised and corresponding shares issued.

(11) Segment Reporting
The Company views its operations and manages its business as segment. The Company produces and sells advanced material solutions, primarily metal matrix composites, to assemblers of high density electronics and other specialty components and subassemblies. The Company also assembles housings and packages for hybrid circuits, selling to the same customers mentioned above. These customers represent a single market or segment with similar stringent and well-defined requirements. The Company’s customers, in turn, sell the components and subassemblies which incorporate the products into many different end markets, however, these end markets are two to three levels removed from the Company. The Company also sells armor strike faces to armor manufacturers, using the same manufacturing process used in its other product solutions. The Company makes operating decisions and assesses financial performance only for the Company as a whole and does not make operating decisions or assess financial performance by the end markets which ultimately use the products. Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is Brian Mackey, our President and CEO. The Company's CODM regularly reviews financial information presented and does not evaluate the Company's operating segment using asset or liability information. Instead, the CODM uses revenue, gross margin, and net income or loss to allocate operating and capital resources and assess performance by comparing actual results to historical results and previously forecasted financial information.
The following table presents segment information for the Company's single reporting segment:

(12) Income Taxes
A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is required to be established or maintained when it is "more likely than not" that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management has determined that a valuation allowance is not needed as it expects that the deferred tax asset will be fully utilized.
For the three and six months ended June 28, 2025 the deferred tax asset was decreased $
(13) Subsequent Events: Enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law 119-21), which includes significant modifications to the Internal Revenue Code. The legislation permanently extends and modifies key provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and introduces new deductions and credits applicable to both individuals and businesses.
Key provisions relevant to the Company include:
Restoration of Immediate Expensing for Domestic Research and Experimental ("R&E") Expenditures: Effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, domestic R&E expenditures may be immediately expensed under new Section 174A, reversing the prior capitalization and amortization requirement. This change may materially impact the Company’s deferred tax assets and current tax expense depending on the volume of qualifying expenditures.
It is anticipated that the unamortized Section 174 R&E expenditures at Q2 2025 will be expensed as follows (subject to further analyses and discussions):

Enhancement of Section 179 Expensing: The maximum Section 179 deduction is increased to $2.5 million, with a phase-out threshold beginning at $4 million. This expansion is expected to accelerate tax deductions for qualifying property and benefit capital investment strategies.
Permanent Reinstatement of 100% Bonus Depreciation: For qualified property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025, the Company may elect full expensing under Section 168(k), which is expected to accelerate tax deductions and reduce taxable income in applicable periods.
Modifications to FDII (now FDDEI): The deduction under Section 250 for foreign-derived intangible income is reduced to 33.34%, and eligibility criteria are narrowed. These changes may impact export-related tax incentives and deferred tax projections tied to U.S.-held IP.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these provisions on its financial statements and tax positions. While the changes are not expected to materially affect prior period results, they may influence future effective tax rates, deferred tax balances, and cash tax obligations. The Company will incorporate these changes into its tax planning and provision calculations for fiscal year 2025 and beyond. However, the full effect of these provisions will depend on the Company's future capital expenditures, R&E activities, financing arrangements, and international operations. The Company will incorporate these changes into its tax provision and planning beginning in fiscal year 2025.

ITEM 2 |
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and notes thereto included in this report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024 and in CPS’s other SEC reports, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the Company’s website at www.cpstechnologysolutions.com.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. There are a number of factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those forecasted or projected in such forward-looking statements. This includes the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and other conflicts and potential conflicts throughout the world and the impact of a strong dollar on the prices the Company charges to foreign customers, which are discussed in Item 3 of this report. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or changed circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Critical Accounting Policies
The critical accounting policies utilized by the Company in preparation of the accompanying financial statements are set forth in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. There have been no material changes to these policies since December 28, 2024.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law 119-21) was enacted, introducing significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code that affect the Company’s tax accounting estimates. These changes involve a high degree of estimation uncertainty and are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Key areas of estimation affected include:
Deferred Tax Asset Realizability: The restoration of immediate expensing for domestic R&E expenditures under new Section 174A and enhanced Section 179 limits may materially alter the timing and magnitude of deductible expenses. The Company is reassessing the realizability of deferred tax assets tied to prior capitalization regimes and evaluating the sensitivity of future reversals.
International Tax Provisions (NeCTIe and FDDEI): The restructuring of GILTI and FDII regimes introduces new deduction rates, foreign tax credit limitations, and eligibility criteria. These changes affect the Company’s assumptions regarding foreign income inclusions, expense allocations, and valuation allowances. Estimation uncertainty arises from forecasting foreign earnings, tax credit utilization, and jurisdictional tax rates.
Bonus Depreciation and Enhancement of Section 179 Expensing: The reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation and enhancement of section 179 requires updated modeling of book-tax differences and deferred balances. The Company is evaluating the impact on capital expenditure forecasts and financing strategies, which may materially affect deferred tax liabilities and effective tax rate projections.
The Company’s critical accounting estimates related to income taxes are subject to change as further guidance is issued and as the Company refines its tax planning strategies. Management continues to monitor developments and will update assumptions and disclosures as necessary.
Overview
Products we provide include baseplates for power electronics used in high-speed electric trains, subway cars, wind turbines, and hybrid and electric vehicles. We provide baseplates and housings used in radar, satellite and avionics applications. We provide lids and heat spreaders used with high performance integrated circuits for use in internet switches and routers. We provide baseplates and housings used in modules built with Wide Band Gap Semiconductors like Silicon Carbide (“SiC”) and Gallium Nitride (“GaN”), collectively Metal Matrix Composites (“MMC”). CPS also assembles housings and packages for hybrid circuits. These housings and packages may include MMC components; they may include components made of more traditional materials such as aluminum, cold rolled steel and Kovar. Using its proprietary MMC technology, the Company also produces lightweight armor, particularly for extreme environments and heavy threat levels.
CPS’s products are custom rather than catalog items. They are made to customers’ designs and are used as components in systems built and sold by our customers. At any point in time our product mix will consist of some products with on-going production demand, and some products which are in the prototyping or evaluation stages at our customers. The Company seeks to have a portfolio of products which include products in every stage of the technology adoption lifecycle at our customers. CPS’ growth is dependent upon the level of demand for those products already in production, as well as its success in achieving new "design wins" for future products.
As a manufacturer of highly technical and custom products, the Company incurs fixed costs needed to support the business, but which do not vary significantly with changes in sales volume. These costs include the fixed costs of applications such as engineering, tooling design and fabrication, process engineering, and others. Accordingly, particularly given our size, changes in sales volume generally result in even greater changes in financial performance on a percentage basis as fixed costs are spread over a larger or smaller base. Sales volume is therefore a key financial metric used by management.
The Company believes the underlying demand for MMC, housings for hybrid circuits and our proprietary armor solution is growing as the electronics and other industries seek higher performance, higher reliability, and reduced costs. CPS believes that the Company is well positioned to offer our solutions to current and new customers as these demands grow.
CPS was incorporated in Massachusetts in 1984 as Ceramics Process Systems Corporation and reincorporated in Delaware in April 1987 through a merger into a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary organized for purposes of the reincorporation. In July 1987, CPS completed our initial public offering of 1.5 million shares of our Common Stock. In March 2007, we changed our name from Ceramics Process Systems Corporation to CPS Technologies Corporation.
Results of Operations for the Second Fiscal Quarter of 2025 (Q2 2025) Compared to the Second Fiscal Quarter of 2024 (Q2 2024); (all $ in 000’s)
Revenues totaled $8,079 in Q2 2025 compared with $5,030 generated in Q2 2024, an increase of 61%. In spite of the completion of our armor order for the U.S. Navy during Q2 2024, growing demand in our other product lines has significantly increased compared to last year. In September 2024 the Company added a third shift in order to meet this growing demand. In addition, the company received significantly more funding under the federal government’s Small Business Innovative Research ("SBIR") program in Q2 of 2025 as compared to Q2 2024.
Gross profit in Q2 2025 totaled $1,336 or 17% of sales. This compares with a gross loss in Q2 2024 of $230 or -5% of sales. This percentage increase was due to several factors including the impact of fixed costs on significantly higher revenues, as well as abnormally low production yield levels in some of our hermetic package products during Q2 of 2024.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses totaled $1,199 in Q2 2025 compared with SG&A expenses of $1,085 in Q2 2024. This increase was due to several factors including, the increase in variable compensation as a result of stronger results from operations in Q2 2025 as compared to Q2 2024, the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and its impact on our costs with European vendors, and increased commission costs due to higher revenue.
The Company experienced an operating profit of $137 in Q2 2025 compared with an operating loss of $1,315 in Q2 2024. This increase was a result of the increased gross margin, partially offset by the increase in SG&A expenses. Net after tax income was $104 in Q2 2025 compared to an after tax loss of $954 in Q2 2024.
Results of Operations for the First Six Months of 2025 Compared to the First Six Months of 2024 (all $ in 000s)
Total revenue was $15,585 in the first half of 2025, a 42% increase compared with total revenue of $10,943 in the first half of 2024. In spite of the completion of our armor order for the U.S. Navy during Q2 2024, growing demand in our other product lines has significantly increased in 2025 compared to last year. In September 2024 the Company added a third shift in order to meet this growing demand. In addition, the company received significantly more funding under the federal government’s SBIR program in Q2 of 2025 as compared to Q2 2024.
Gross profit in the first six months of 2025 totaled $2,567 or 16% of sales. In the first six months of 2024 gross margin totaled $676 or 6% of sales. This percentage increase was due to several factors including the impact of fixed costs on significantly higher revenues, as well as abnormally low production yield levels in some of our hermetic package products during Q2 of 2024.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $2,300 during the first six months of 2025, up 2% compared with SG&A expenses of $2,251 in the first six months of 2024. Increased variable compensation accruals and increased commissions, both due to significantly increased revenue were partially offset by a reduction in accounting and legal fees as well as the cost of a settlement with a former outside consultant in 2024.
During the first half of 2025, the Company had net other income of $70. This compares with net other income of $170 realized during the first half of 2024. The decrease in net other income is primarily due to reduced cash balances in the first half of 2025 as compared to 2024.
In the first six months of 2025 the Company had operating income of $267 compared with an operating loss $1,575 in the same period last year. The net income for the first six months of 2025 totaled $200 versus a net loss of $1,097 in the first six months of 2024.
CPS does not rely on raw materials from Ukraine, Russia, Israel or Gaza. As a result, we do not believe that the Russian invasion of Ukraine or the conflict in Israel and Gaza will have a direct impact on our results. Nevertheless, there could be an indirect impact regarding supply chain and inflationary issues as a result of these conflicts.
Inflation has had an impact on our costs. Thus far, we have been able to pass along these increases to our customers, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to continue this in the future. In addition, there is often a lag between when the costs increase and when we can adjust customer prices. Some of our larger customers will have pricing agreements, typically for one year, and we must wait for those agreements to end before making any pricing adjustments. Further, several of our larger customers buy from our major competitor in Japan. The impact of the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates can create situations where our pricing to foreign customers can either more or less competitive as compared to our Japanese competitor.
We are beginning to see an impact of tariffs on our cost structure. While many of our raw materials are sourced domestically, we are seeing instances where the domestic supplier is able to raise prices due to the impact of tariffs on prices charged by their foreign competitors. While the overall impact of these cost increases is relatively small, they are still enough to impact our margins. Given that our major competitor is from outside the U.S., our ability to pass on these cost increases to our foreign customers is somewhat limited.
These factors combine to create a higher degree of uncertainty regarding future financial performance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources (all $ in 000’s unless noted)
The Company’s liquid assets at June 29, 2025 consist of cash and cash equivalents of $2,374 and marketable debt securities with a fair value of $1,045. This compares to cash and cash equivalents at December 28, 2024 of $3,281 and $1,031 marketable debt securities held at December 28, 2024. While cash is down from the end of 2024, it has moved in a “U” shaped pattern with a reduction to $1.9 million at the end of Q1 2025 now recovering to about $2.4 million at the end of Q2 2025. We expect this recovery to continue.
Accounts receivable at June 28, 2025 totaled $5,603 compared with $4,858 at December 28, 2024. Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) decreased from 76 days at the end of 2024 to 67 days at the end of Q2 2025. The decrease in DSO was due to increasing sales volumes as we neared the end of 2024. As a result our receivables at the end of 2024 were a higher percentage of than if revenue was spread out evenly during the period. The accounts receivable balances at December 28, 2024, and June 28, 2025, are both net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $10.
Inventories totaled $5,198 at June 28, 2025 compared with inventory totaling $4,331 at December 28, 2024. The inventory turnover in the most recent four quarters ending Q2 2025 was 5.2 times (based on a 5 quarter end average) compared with 4.8 times averaged during the four quarters of 2024.
The Company expects it will continue to be able to fund its operations for the remainder of 2025 from operations and existing cash balances.
The Company continues to sell to a limited number of customers and the loss of any one of these customers could cause the Company to require additional external financing. Failure to generate sufficient revenues, raise additional capital or reduce certain discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its business objectives.
Management believes that existing cash balances will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for the foreseeable future. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient revenues or reduce certain discretionary spending in the event that planned operational goals are not met such that we will be able to meet our obligations as they become due.
Contractual Obligations (all $ in 000’s unless otherwise noted)
The Company has a line of credit (LOC) in the amount of $3.0 million with Rockland Trust Company. The LOC is secured by the accounts receivable and other assets of the Company and has an interest rate of the National Prime Rate as published by the Wall Street Journal (7.5% on 6/28/2025). On June 28, 2025, the Company had $0 of borrowings under this LOC and its borrowing base at the time would have permitted an additional $3.0 million to have been borrowed.
In March 2020, the company acquired a scanning acoustic microscope for a price of $208 thousand. The full amount was financed through a 5 year note payable with a financing company. This note was paid in full in the first quarter of 2025.
The Company has one real estate lease expiring in February 2026. CPS also has a few other leases for equipment which are minor in nature and are generally short-term in duration. None of these have been capitalized. (Note 6, Leases)

ITEM 3 |
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The Company is not significantly exposed to the direct impact of interest rate changes or foreign currency fluctuations. Nevertheless, one of the Company’s major competitors is located in Japan. The relative strength of the US dollar versus the Japanese yen can have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to raise prices when necessary to offset increasing costs. The Company has not used derivative financial instruments.
Although CPS has not been directly impacted by the war in Ukraine, potential supply chain disruptions and its impact on energy costs are areas where we could be impacted in the future.
Inflation and the impact of tariffs on our costs is an area where we have seen some affect on our business. We have seen price increases in commodity raw materials, such as aluminum, as well as increases in other costs of doing business. As we receive new orders we have been able to pass on most of these costs to our customers. Fortunately, raw materials make up a smaller portion of our overall costs. While they provide a headwind to our profitability, they are a relatively small factor in that total equation. As inflation continues or new tariffs are put in place, our ability to continue to absorb higher costs by raising customer prices cannot be guaranteed.
