(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,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 26, 2020 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-K10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020 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.alsic.com.

The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

(3)(3) 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.

The following table presents the calculation of both basic and diluted EPS:

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 on March 27,1, 2021 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.

Operating Leases

The Norton facility lease comprises approximately 38 thousand square feet. The lease is triple net lease wherein the Company is responsible for payment of all real estate taxes, operating costs and utilities. The Company also has an option to renew the lease starting in March 2026 through February 2032. Annual rental payments range from $152 thousand to $165 thousand through maturity.

The following table presents information about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from the Company’s capitalized operating leases as of March 27,June 26, 2021

Operating Lease Costs and Cash Flows

Operating lease cost and cash paid was $38 thousand during the firstsecond quarter of 2021 and $76 thousand for the six months ended June 26, 2021. This cost isThese costs are related to its long-term operating lease. All other short-term leases were immaterial.

Finance Leases

The company does not have any finance leases.

(5) 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.

(10) Note Payable

In March 2020, the Companycompany acquired inspection equipmenta Sonoscan ultrasound microscope for a price of $208 thousand. The full amount was financed through a 5 year note payable with a third party equipment finance company. The note is collateralized by the equipmentmicroscope and is being paid in monthly installments of $4 thousand, consisting of principal plus interest at a rate of 6.47%.

In July 2020 CPS placed into service a piece of manufacturing equipment which it financed with the machine’s vendor.  The equipment cost of $40 thousand will be paid at the rate of $2 thousand per month over 2 years, resulting in an implied interest rate of 1.90%. 

The aggregate maturities of the notes payable based on the payment terms of the agreement are as follows: 

Total interest expense on notes payable during 2021 was $2,986.$5,800.

(10)       

(11)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. In December 2018, the Company established a valuation allowance reserve, as it is judged more likely than not that all or a portion of its deferred tax assets will not be utilized before they expire. This decision was reached after giving greater weight to the Company’s losses in recent years as compared to its forecasts.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“Act”) became law on March 27, 2020. The Act contains two provisions that provide a tax benefit to the Company. The Act suspends the current 80% limitation on the utilization of net operating losses for taxable years beginning in 2018,2019 and 2020. The Act also allows net operating losses arising in 2018,2019 and 2020 to be carried back five years. The Act also accelerates the ability of the Company to recover Federal alternative minimum tax credits.

The Company recorded a reduction of the valuation allowancereserve of $8 thousand and $69, respectively during the quarterthree and six months ended March 27,June 26, 2021 to account for the utilization of deferred tax assets to reduce the current tax liability for the quarterthree and six months ended March 27,June 26, 2021. As a result of the utilization of deferred tax assets, the Company did not record a provision for income taxes for the quarterthree months ended March 27, 2021. June 26, 2021, and less than $1 thousand for the six months so ended. 

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’SMANAGEMENT’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 26, 2020, and in CPS’sCPS’ other SEC reports, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the Company’s website at www.alsic.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 COVID-19 pandemic, which is 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 26, 2020, 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 26, 2020.

Overview

Products we provide include baseplates for motor controllers 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 SiC and GaN. 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, copper-tungsten, etc. Using its proprietary MMC technology, the Company also produces light-weight vehicle 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 engineering, tooling design and fabrication, process engineering, etc. Accordingly, particularly given our current 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 metal matrix composites 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.

Our products are manufactured by proprietary processes we have developed including the QuicksetTM Injection Molding Process (‘Quickset Process’) and the QuickCastTM Pressure Infiltration Process (‘QuickCast Process’).

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.Corp.

Results of Operations for the Second Fiscal Quarter of 2021 (Q2 2021) Compared to the Second Fiscal Quarter of 2020 (Q2 2020); (all $ in 000s)

Total revenue was $5,862 in Q2 2021, a 2% increase compared with total revenue of $5,758 in Q2 2020. This increase was due primarily to the initial shipments of armor panels and increased sales of hermetic packages, offset by a decrease in the sale of baseplates to a major customer.

Gross margin in Q2 2021 totaled $1,352 or 23% of sales.  In Q2 2020, gross margin was $1,183 or 21% of sales.   This increase in margin was primarily due to moderate price increases and product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $1,099 in Q2 2021, up 28% when compared with SG&A expenses of $853 in Q2 2020.  This increase in SG&A expense was due to increased compensation expense as a result of the addition of our new COO and the delay in certain Director’s compensation from Q1 to Q2.

In Q2, 2021, the Company incurred interest expense of $14 due to bank borrowings. This compares with interest expense of $32 in Q2 of 2020. The decrease in interest is due to decreased borrowings as a result of the At-the-Market offering

The Company experienced operating income of $253 compared with an operating income of $331 in the same quarter last year. This decrease in operating income is due primarily to the increase in SG&A expense, discussed above. The net income for Q2 2021 totaled $239 versus $299 in Q2 2020.

Results of Operations for the First Fiscal QuarterSix Months of 2021 (Q1 2021) Compared to the First Fiscal QuarterSix Months of 2020 (Q1 2020); (all $ in 000’s)000s)

Revenues totaled $4,866Total revenue was $10,728 in the first half of 2021, a 13% decrease compared with total revenue of $12,270 in the first six months of 2020. This decrease was due primarily to the impact on the Covid-19 pandemic on Q1 2021 compared with $6,512 generated in Q1 2020, a decrease of 25%. Reduced demand from our largest customer accounted for more than the total decrease in revenues. In 2020, in anticipation of potential supply disruptions due to the COVID-19lack of impact of the pandemic this customer accelerated Q2 2020 purchases into Q1. Mid-year 2020, this customer then experienced a significant reduction in their demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Reduced demand from this customer has been partially offset by increased business from our aerospace customers.on Q1 2020.

Gross margin in Q1the first six months of 2021 totaled $944$2,296 or 19%21% of sales. In the first six months of 2020 gross margin totaled $2,734 or 22% of sales. This compares with gross margindecrease was due to the decrease in Q1 2020revenue and the reduced coverage of $1,550 or 24% of sales. While increased manufacturing efficiencies mitigated the reduction in gross margin,our fixed costs which do not vary with decreased sales volumes were the predominate reason for this reduction.costs.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $908 in Q1were $2,007 during the first six months of 2021, up 13% compared with SG&A expenses of $929$1,781 in Q1the first six months of 2020. The hiring of our new Chief Operating Officer and increased costs associated with printing and distributing our proxy statement were offset by reduced variable compensation amountsthe primary reasons for this increase.

During the first half of 2021, the Company incurred interest expense of $18 due to a lower operating profit.bank borrowings. This compares with interest expense of $66 incurred during the first half of 2020. The decrease in interest is due to decreased borrowings as the result of our move to profitability from 2019 to 2020 and the At-the-Market offering in Q2 2021.

In the first six months of 2021 the Company had operating income of $289 compared with $952 in the same period last year. The Company experienced an operating profitnet income for the first six months of $362021 totaled $270 versus $901 in the first six months of 2020. This decrease was due primarily to the impact on the Covid-19 pandemic on Q1 2021 compared with an operating profitto the lack of $622 in Q1 2020 as a result of the reduced gross margin.

The Company is part of the Defense Industrial Base and thus has been open and operating throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic did affect financial results for the quarter ended March 27, 2021 primarily by causing reductions in demand from certain customers. The Company believes the worstimpact of the pandemic is now behind us and expects to show continued improvement in upcoming quarters.on Q1 2020.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, the Company has aggressively implemented CDC guidelines in the workplace to prevent the spread of COVID-19. For example, the Company has staggered shifts to eliminate overlap at shift changes, reorganized workstations to ensure social distancing, implemented daily screening of all employees by taking employees’ temperatures, etc.

These factors combine to create a higher degree of uncertainty regarding future financial performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (all $ in 000’s000s unless noted)

The Company’s net cash and cash equivalents at March 27,June 26, 2021 totaled ($25)$3,016 . (Net cash is defined as cash and cash equivalents less bank borrowings.) This compares to net cash and cash equivalents at December 26, 2020 of $195. Payment terms for customers range from payment$195 .

Accounts receivable at March 27,June 26, 2021 totaled $3,778$4,432 compared with $2,915 at December 26, 2020.

Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) increased from 62 days at the end of 2020 to 7069 days at the end of Q1Q2 2021. The increase in DSO was due to higher sales at the end of the quarter compared to the beginning of the quarter.two large customers with longer payment terms. The accounts receivable balances at December 26, 2020, and March 27,June 26, 2021 were both net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $10.

Inventories totaled $3,631$3,989 at March 27,June 26, 2021 compared with inventory totaling $3,709 at December 26, 2020. This increase was due to the buildup of inventory for our armor order. The inventory turnover in the most recent four quarters ending Q1Q2 2021 was 4.14.0 times, (based on a 5 point average) compared withdown from 4.5 times averaged during the four quarters of 2020. The reduction in inventory turnover was due primarily2020 (based on a 5 point average).

On April 26, 2021, we entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC (“C-H”) pursuant to raw material purchases forwhich the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of the Company’s armor contract scheduledcommon stock having an aggregate offering price of up to begin shipping$25.0 million in Q2 2021.at-the-market offerings (“ATM”). On the same day, the Company filed a prospectus supplement under a shelf registration relating to the Sales Agreement. C-H will act as sales agent and will be paid a 3% commission on each sale under the Sales Agreement. The Company’s common stock will be sold at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, and, as a result, prices will vary. From date of inception until June 26, 2021, the Company sold approximately 479 thousand shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement, for gross proceeds of approximately $3.4 million. Subsequent to June 26, 2021, the Company has not sold any additional shares.

The Company financed its decreaseincrease in working capital in Q1Q2 2021 from its profit and increased borrowings of $193 from its line of credit with BDC Capital.the ATM offering. The Company expects it will continue to be able to fund its operations for the remainder of 2021 from existing cash balances and bank borrowings.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 a combination of existing cash balances and borrowings, if necessary, 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)

In September 2019, the Company entered into revolving line of credit (LOC) with Massachusetts Business Development Corporation (BDC) in the amount of $2.5 million.

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 4, Leases)

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is not significantly exposed to the impact of interest rate changes or foreign currency fluctuations. The Company has not used derivative financial instruments.

The COVID-19 pandemic presents several risks for the Company. The Company is part of the Defense Industrial Base and thus has remained open and operating throughout the pandemic. The primary risks resulting from the pandemic are potential declines in customer demand due to government-mandated business closures and increased operating costs resulting from pandemic-related factors such as increased freight costs and increased employee absenteeism causing labor inefficiencies and increased use of overtime.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected financial results for the quarter ended March 27, 2021 mainly due to its impact on oneJune 26, 2021. One of our major customers.customers uses a significant portion of our product in the manufacture of products used in high-speed rail trains. As a result of decreased ridership due to the pandemic, demand from their customers has declined. This has resulted in this customer reducing Q2 purchases. The Company expects to see continuing improvement in upcoming quarters, but believes the pandemic willworst is behind us, but COVID-19 variants, lack of vaccinations on a world-wide scale and other factors could continue to provide headwinds to more substantial growth at least through the next quarter or two.negatively affect our financial results moving forward.
