CERAMICS PROCESS SYSTEMS CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement
(Unaudited)

(1) Nature of Business

Ceramics Process Systems Corporation (the Company or CPS) serves the microprocessor, wireless communications, satellite communications, motor controller 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 has an accumulated deficit of $30,730,722 at June 29, 2002. Management believes that cash flows from operations and existing cash balances will be sufficient to fund the Company′s cash requirements for the foreseeable future. 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 continue as a going concern and achieve its business objective.

(2) Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

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 for the fiscal quarters and six month periods ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001 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 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.

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

Basic EPS excludes the effect of any dilutive options, warrants or convertible securities and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders 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 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.

Options to purchase 1,017,984 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $0.77 were outstanding as of June 29, 2002. Options to purchase 748,234 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $0.97 were outstanding as of June 30, 2001.

For the three month periods ended June 29, 2002, June 30, 2001 and the six month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company was in a net loss position therefore stock options were not used to compute diluted loss per share since the effect would have been antidilutive.

For the six month period ended June 29, 2002, the diluted share base includes 271,081 potential shares related to options whose exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares during this period.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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.

Results of Operations for Second Fiscal Quarter of 2002 (Q2 2002) Compared to the Second Fiscal Quarter of 2001 (Q2 2001)

Total revenue was $1,471 thousand in Q2 2001, a 74% increase from total revenue of $846 thousand in Q2 2001. The increase in revenues was due to increased demand and unit shipments. The largest increases were in baseplates for motor controllers and lids and heatspreaders for microprocessors and application-specific integrated circuits.

Total operating expenses in Q2 2002 were $1,535 thousand, a 45% increase from total operating expenses of $1,059 thousand in Q2 2001. Cost of product sales in Q2 2002 were $1,188 thousand, a 47% increase from cost of product sales of $805 in Q2 2001. Cost of product sales increased primarily as a result of higher unit shipments. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $347 thousand in Q2 2002, a 37% increase from selling, general and administrative expenses of $253 thousand in Q2 2001.

Gross profit on product sales in Q2 2002 were 19% compared to gross profit on product sales in Q2 2000 of 5%. This increase in gross profit is primarily the result of spreading fixed costs over a higher production volume.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $93 thousand is the result of higher commissions paid to the sales representatives, increased staffing in sales and marketing, and increased travel expenses.

The Company produces components used in electronic systems and the Company′s customers are electronic OEMs and systems manufacturers. In Q2 2002 some customers modified their forecasts downward for the second half of 2002, and other customers declined to provide forecasts of Q3 and Q4 demand. Demand declined month-to-month during Q2 2002, suggesting that Q3 demand will be below Q2 demand.

Results of Operations for First Six Months 2002 Compared to First Six Months of 2001

Total revenue increased to $3,220 thousand in the first six months of 2002 from $1,811 thousand in the first six months of 2001, a 78% increase. The increase in revenues was due to increased demand and unit shipments, primarily of baseplates for motor controllers and lids and heatspreaders for microprocessors and application-specific integrated circuits.

Total operating expenses of $3,182 thousand in the first six months of 2002 increased by 35% from total operating expenses of $2,362 thousand in the first six months of 2001. Cost of product sales of $2,411 thousand in the first six months of 2002 increased by 34% from total cost of product sales of $1,796 thousand in the first six months of 2001. Cost of product sales increased primarily as a result of higher unit shipments. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $771 thousand in the first six months of 2002, a 36% increase from selling, general and administrative expenses of $566 thousand in the first six months of 2001.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $205 thousand is the result of higher commissions paid to the sales representatives, increased staffing in sales and marketing, and increased travel expenses.

Gross profit on product sales in the first six months of 2002 were 25% compared to gross profit in the first six months of 2001 of 1%. This increase in gross profit is primarily the result of spreading fixed costs over a higher production volume.

Financial Liquidity

The Company′s cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 29, 2002 was $296 thousand compared to the cash and cash equivalents balance as of December 29, 2001 of $300 thousand, a 1% decline. In the first six months of 2002 operations generated cash of $155 thousand, additions to property, plant and equipment consumed cash of $128 thousand, and payment of capital lease obligations consumed cash of $31 thousand.

Trade Accounts Receivable declined to $664 thousand at June 29, 2002 from $785 thousand at December 29, 2001 due to lower shipments in June 2002 compared to December 2001.

Inventories decreased to $551 thousand at June 29, 2002 from $628 thousand at December 29, 2001. The Company does not build inventory in advance of customer demand; all work in process and finished goods inventory represent production for which the Company has purchase orders from customers.

The Company financed its working capital requirements during Q2 2002 and the first six months of 2002 with funds from existing cash balances and funds provided by product sales. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $30,730,722 at June 29, 2002 and net income for the year to date totaling $34,089. Management believes that cash flows from operations and existing cash balances will be sufficient to fund the Company′s cash requirements for the foreseeable future. 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 continue as a going concern and achieve its business objective. The Company continues to sell to a limited number of customers and loss of any one of these customers could cause the Company to require external financing.
