Ceramics Process Systems Corporation (the `Company` or `CPS`) serves the wireless communications infrastructure market, high-performance microprocessor market, motor controller market, and other microelectronic markets by developing, manufacturing, and marketing advanced metal-matrix composite components to house, interconnect and thermally manage microelectronic devices. The Company`s products are typically in the form of housings, packages, lids, substrates, thermal planes, or heat sinks, and are used in applications where thermal management and/or weight are important considerations.

The Company`s products are manufactured by proprietary processes the Company has developed including the QuicksetTM Injection Molding Process (`Quickset Process`) and the QuickCastTM Pressure Infiltration Process (`QuickCast Process`).

The Company was incorporated on June 19, 1984. 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 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.

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements of CPS reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for such periods.

The Company`s consolidated balance sheet at December 28, 2002 has been derived from the audited consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant`s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2002.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CPS and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CPS Superconductor Corporation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Basic EPS excludes the effect of any dilutive options, warrants or convertible securities and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents computed using the average market price for the period under the treasury stock method requirements.

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

Options to purchase 1,214,613 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $0.57 were outstanding at June 28, 2003. Options to purchase 1,017,984 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $0.77 were outstanding at June 29, 2002. The Company incurred a net loss for the quarter ended June 29, 2002, and the six months ended June 28, 2003, therefore stock options were not used to compute diluted loss per share since the effect would have been antidilutive.

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. In accordance with SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," the following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation," to stock-based employee compensation for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2003:

Inventories consist of the following:

Accrued expenses consist of the following:

6. Note Payable - Related Party

In March 2003, the President of the Company executed a line-of-credit agreement with the Company. Such agreement provides for maximum available borrowings of $200,000, with interest on any outstanding borrowings payable monthly at 1.5% above the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal. The note is collateralized by a security interest in the Company`s accounts receivable, and such note expires on January 16, 2004, at which time all unpaid principal and accrued interest is due. The prime rate was 4.00% at June 28, 2003.

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated 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, 2002.

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. 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.

Total revenue was $1,107 thousand in Q2 2003, a 25% decline from total revenue of $1,471 thousand in Q2 2002. The decline in revenues was due to reduced demand and a change in product mix. The largest decrease in demand was for baseplates for motor controllers; demand increased for lids and heatspreaders for application-specific integrated circuits.

Total operating expenses in Q2 2003 were $1,069 thousand, a 30% decline from total operating expenses in Q2 2002 of $1,535 thousand. Cost of product sales in Q2 2003 were $824 thousand, a 31% decline from cost of product sales in Q2 2002 of $1,188 thousand. Cost of product sales decreased primarily as a result of expense controls, some reductions in fixed costs, and reduced shipments. Gross profit on product sales in Q2 2003 was 26% compared to gross profit on product sales in Q2 2002 of 19%. This increase in gross profit is primarily the result of expense controls and lower fixed costs.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $244 thousand in Q2 2003, a 29% reduction from SG&A expenses in Q2 2003 of $347 thousand. The decrease in SG&A expenses is the result of lower commissions paid to sales representatives and reduced travel expenses.

Total revenue was $1,702 thousand in the first six months of 2003, a 47% decline from total revenue of $3,220 thousand in the first six months of 2002. The decline in revenues was due to significantly reduced demand, particularly in the first quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter of 2002. The largest decrease in demand was for baseplates for motor controllers, but generally demand declined across most of the Company`s products.

Total operating expenses in the first six months of 2003 were $1,860 thousand, a 42% decline from total operating expenses in the first six months of 2002 of $3,182 thousand. Cost of product sales in the first six months of 2003 were $1,430 thousand, a 40% decline from cost of product sales in the first six months of 2002 of $2,411 thousand. Cost of product sales decreased primarily as a result reduced shipments as well as expense controls and some reductions in fixed costs. Gross profit on product sales in the first six months of 2003 was 16% compared to gross profit on product sales in the first six months of 2002 of 25%. This decline in gross profit is primarily the result of fixed costs being spread over a smaller revenue base.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $430 thousand in the first six months of 2003, a 44% reduction from SG&A expenses in the first six months of 2002 of $771 thousand. The decrease in SG&A expenses is the result of lower commissions paid to the sales representatives, lower payroll in the sales function, and reduced travel expenses.

The Company`s cash balance and cash equivalents at June 28, 2003 was $52 thousand compared to cash balance and cash equivalents at December 28, 2002 of $151 thousand, a decrease of $99 thousand or 66%.

Accounts receivable increased to $583 thousand at June 28, 2003 from $391 thousand at December 28, 2002. This change reflects higher shipments in Q2 2003 compared to Q4 2002. The accounts receivable balance at June 28, 2003 and December 29, 2002 is net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $24 thousand.

Inventories decreased to $329 thousand at June 28, 2003 from $347 thousand at December 28, 2002.

The Company financed its working capital during Q2 2003 with existing cash balances, and an initial draw-down of $40,000 made in Q1 2003 on a $200,000 line-of-credit agreement that was entered into with the Company`s President. The Company expects it will continue to be able to fund its working capital requirements for the remainder of 2003 from these same sources and funds generated by operations.

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.
