CPS TECHNOLOGIES CORP.

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 and other industries. The Company’s primary advanced material solution is metal-matrix composites 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, copper-tungsten, etc.

 

Using its proprietary MMC technology, the Company also produces light-weight armor, particularly for extreme environments and heavy threat levels.

 

The Company sells into several end markets including the wireless communications infrastructure market, high-performance microprocessor market, motor controller market, and other microelectronic and defense 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 30, 2023 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 30, 2023 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)     Net Income (Loss) Per Common and Common Equivalent Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) 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. Had there been a profit in Q1 2024, the dilutive effect would have been 74,285 shares.  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:

(4)     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 (current and noncurrent portions) on the balance sheet. This asset and liability was recognized on March 30, 2024 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 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. The Company is not reasonably certain these extensions will be exercised at this time, and therefore are not included in the lease asset or liability.  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 30, 2024

Operating Lease Costs and Cash Flows

Operating lease cost and cash paid was $41 thousand during the first quarter of 2024. This cost is 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.

 

During the quarters ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, a total of 135,500 and 0 stock options, respectively, were granted to employees under the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and a total of 75,000 and 50,000 stock options, respectively, were granted to outside directors during the quarters ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023.

 

 

 

During the quarter ended March 30, 2024, there were 0 options exercised.  During the quarter ended April 1, 2023, there were 7,001 options exercised and corresponding shares issued at a weighted average price of $1.47

 

During the quarter ended March 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 0 shares for employees to facilitate their exercise of stock options. During the quarter ended April 1, 2023, the Company repurchased 285 shares for employees to facilitate their exercise of stock options.

 

There were also 1,097,900 options outstanding at a weighted average price of $2.61 with a weighted average remaining contractual term of 7.06 years as of March 30, 2024 and there were 582,800 shares exercisable at a weighted average price of $2.44 with a weighted average remaining term of 5.3 years.  There were 1,004,400 options outstanding at a weighted average price of $2.51 with a weighted average remaining contractual term of 6.10 years as of April 1, 2023. The Plan, as amended, is authorized to issue 1,500,000 shares of common stock. As of March 30, 2024, there were 638,300 shares available for future grants.

 

As of March 30, 2024, there was $693 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan; that cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.44 years.

 

During the quarters ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, the Company recognized approximately $161 thousand and $130 thousand, respectively, as shared-based compensation expense related to previously granted shares under the Plan.

(8)     Revolving Line of Credit

In May 2023, the Company terminated its $3.0 million revolving line of credit (LOC) with Massachusetts Business Development Corporation (BDC). A new LOC in the amount of $3.0 million was entered into 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 (8.5% at March 30, 2024). On March 30, 2024, 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.  The LOC remains in effect until terminated per mutual agreement by both parties.  Total interest expense for Q1 2024 was $0 and was $0 thousand for Q1 2023.  

  

 

(9)      Note Payable

In March 2020, the Company acquired inspection equipment 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 equipment and is being paid in monthly installments of $4 thousand, consisting of principal plus interest at a fixed rate of 6.47%.

 

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

 

Remaining in:

    

FY 2024

 $35,388 

FY 2025

 $8,090 

Total

 $43,478 

 

Total interest expense on notes payable during Q1 2024 was $825 compared to $1,538 in Q1 2023.

  

 

(10)   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.

 

The Company believes that it is “more likely than not” that the Company will be able to fully utilize the deferred tax asset. For the first quarter of 2024 the deferred tax asset was increased $40 for the estimated tax benefit on Q1 net loss.

 

 

  
 

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENTS 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 30, 2023 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, 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 30, 2023, 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 30, 2023.

 

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 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 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 such as engineering, tooling design and fabrication, process engineering, and others. 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 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 First Fiscal Quarter of 2024 (Q1 2024) Compared to the First Fiscal Quarter of 2023 (Q1 2023); (all $ in 000s)

 

Revenues totaled $5,913 in Q1 2024 compared with $7,100 generated in Q1 2023, a decrease of 17%. Two factors in particular contributed to this decrease. One of our largest customers in 2023 significantly reduced their purchases due to their having excess inventory that they are in the process of working down. Additionally, while we are cautiously optimistic that identified quality issues have been resolved, we continue to run tests which occupy machine time that would otherwise have been spent on production for customers.

 

Gross margin in Q1 2024 totaled $906 or 15% of sales. This compares with gross margin in Q1 2023 of $2,245 or 32% of sales. This decrease was due to the lower sales volumes on fixed costs as well as the aforementioned testing being done on the quality issues.

 

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $1,166 in Q1 2024 compared with SG&A expenses of $1,551 in Q1 2023. This decrease was due in part to a reduction in variable compensation as well as lower commission expense due to lower revenue numbers and their impact on profitability. In addition, there are a number of areas in which management has been able to reduce SG&A expenses compared to last year.

 

The Company experienced an operating loss of $260 in Q1 2024 compared with an operating profit of $694 in Q1 2023, a decrease of 137%. This decrease was a result of the decreased gross margin, partially offset by the decrease in SG&A expenses.

 

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. Wage increases are also part of the inflation impact. We have instituted a combination of wage increases as well as richer benefits, such as the increased 401k match mentioned above, in order to retain the folks making up our workforce.

 

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

 

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

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at March 30, 2024 totaled $8,668. This compares to cash and cash equivalents at December 30, 2023 of $8,814. The Company has invested in new equipment to enable us to be more cost effective as well as improving our quality department’s ability to ensure we are shipping better product, going forward.

 

Accounts receivable at March 30, 2024 totaled $3,876 compared with $4,472 at December 30, 2023. Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) decreased from 60 days at the end of 2023 to 59 days at the end of Q1 2024. The accounts receivable balances at December 30, 2023, and March 30, 2024 were both net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $10.

 

 

 

Inventories totaled $4,611 at March 30, 2024 compared with inventory totaling $4,582 at December 30, 2023. The inventory turnover in the most recent four quarters ending Q1 2024 was 4.4 times (based on a 5 quarter end average) compared with 4.3 times averaged during the four quarters of 2023.

 

The Company expects it will continue to be able to fund its operations for the remainder of 2024 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 000s unless otherwise noted)

 

In May 2023, the Company terminated its $3.0 million revolving line of credit (LOC) with Massachusetts Business Development Corporation (BDC). A new LOC in the amount of $3.0 million was entered into 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. On March 30, 2024, 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.  The LOC remains in effect until terminated per mutual agreement by both parties.  

 

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. The note is collateralized by the microscope and is being paid in monthly installments of $4 thousand, consisting of principal plus interest at a fixed rate of 6.47%

 

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.

 

Although CPS has not been directly impacted by the war in Ukraine or by the war between Israel and Gaza, potential supply chain disruptions and its impact on energy costs are areas where we could be impacted in the future.

 

Inflation is an area where we have seen some impact on our business. We have seen price increases in commodity raw materials, 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. In the case of longer term pricing agreements, we have been able to pass on some of these costs through surcharges and in other ways to mitigate the impact on our profit. As inflation continues, our ability to continue to absorb higher costs by raising customer prices cannot be guaranteed.

 

ITEM 4

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a)       The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d - 14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, 1) the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports the Company files under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and 2) the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b)       Changes in Internal Controls. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

 

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are not a party to any litigation which could have a material adverse effect on us or on our business. The Company has received a letter from the attorney of a former European outside sales representative stating that under European law the representative is entitled to compensation as a result of his termination. The Company completely disagrees with the claims. Should this result in litigation the Company will defend itself to the fullest extent of the law and estimates any losses incurred to be immaterial.

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

(3)     Net Income (Loss) Per Common and Common Equivalent Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) 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. Had there been a profit in Q1 2024, the dilutive effect would have been 74,285 shares.  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:

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 (current and noncurrent portions) on the balance sheet. This asset and liability was recognized on March 30, 2024 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 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. The Company is not reasonably certain these extensions will be exercised at this time, and therefore are not included in the lease asset or liability.  Annual rental payments range from $152 thousand to $165 thousand through maturity.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Text Block]

(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.

 

During the quarters ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, a total of 135,500 and 0 stock options, respectively, were granted to employees under the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and a total of 75,000 and 50,000 stock options, respectively, were granted to outside directors during the quarters ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023.

 

During the quarter ended March 30, 2024, there were 0 options exercised.  During the quarter ended April 1, 2023, there were 7,001 options exercised and corresponding shares issued at a weighted average price of $1.47. 

 

During the quarter ended March 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 0 shares for employees to facilitate their exercise of stock options. During the quarter ended April 1, 2023, the Company repurchased 285 shares for employees to facilitate their exercise of stock options.

 

There were also 1,097,900 options outstanding at a weighted average price of $2.61 with a weighted average remaining contractual term of 7.06 years as of March 30, 2024 and there were 582,800 shares exercisable at a weighted average price of $2.44 with a weighted average remaining term of 5.3 years.  There were 1,004,400 options outstanding at a weighted average price of $2.51 with a weighted average remaining contractual term of 6.10 years as of April 1, 2023. The Plan, as amended, is authorized to issue 1,500,000 shares of common stock. As of March 30, 2024, there were 638,300 shares available for future grants.

 

As of March 30, 2024, there was $693 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan; that cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.44 years.

 

During the quarters ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, the Company recognized approximately $161 thousand and $130 thousand, respectively, as shared-based compensation expense related to previously granted shares under the Plan.
