Notes to Financial Statements

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

CPS Technologies Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CPS Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since October 11, 2024.

CPS Technologies Corp.

Years Ended December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024

Notes to Financial Statements

(1) Nature of Business

CPS Technologies Corp. (the ‘Company’ or ‘CPS’) provides advanced material solutions to the transportation, automotive, energy, computing/internet, telecommunications, aerospace, defense and oil and gas end markets.

Our primary material solution is metal matrix composites. We design, manufacture and sell custom metal matrix composite components which improve the performance and reliability of systems in these end markets.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(2)(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity ofthree months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

(2)(b) Accounts Receivable

The Company reports its accounts receivable at the invoiced amount less an allowance for credit losses. The Company’s management provides appropriate provisions for uncollectible accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk and activity of specific customers, historical trends, economic conditions and other information to estimate future expected losses. Adjustments to the allowance are charged to operations in the period in which information becomes available thatmayaffect the allowance. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses of $10,000 as ofDecember 27, 2025andDecember 28, 2024.

(2)(b)(1) Accounts Receivable-Other

As ofDecember 27, 2025andDecember 28, 2024this amount was primarily VAT paid by CPS, but due to be either repaid by its European customers with future shipments or refunded by the European tax authorities.

(2)(c) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (cost is based on standard costs which approximate actual costs), as determined under thefirst-in,first-out method (FIFO), or net realizable value. A reserve for obsolete inventories is based on factors regarding the sales and usage of such inventories, including inventories manufactured for specific customers. The Company’s general obsolescence policy is to reserve against obsolete inventory when there has beenno activity for a particular part for atwelve month period and there areno expected customer orders.

(2)(d) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life, generally five toseven years for production equipment andthree tofive years for furniture and office equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or their useful life. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from their respective accounts. Any gains or losses on the disposition of property and equipment are included in the results of operations in the period in which they occur.

(2)(e) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amountsmay not be recovered. Recoverability is assessed based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows. As ofDecember 27, 2025and*December 28, 2024,*the Company believes that there has beenno impairment of its long-lived assets.

(2)(f) Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets are made up of legal and filing fees incurred for new patents and trademark protection. It is the Company’s policy to write these costs off using straight line amortization over athree year period. As of 12/27/2025 total intangible costs were $26,113 and $4,335 was amortized during 2025. There wereno costs or amortization during 2024.

(2)(g) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized in accordance with thefive-step method under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”

Identifying the Contract with the Customer

The Company identifies contracts with customers as agreements that create enforceable rights and obligations. In the case of a few large customers the Company has executed long-term Master Sales Agreements (“MSA”). These are umbrella agreements which typically define the terms and conditions under which a customer can order goods from CPS. These in themselves donot constitute a contract asno products are committed to be transferred and the customer hasno obligation to make payments. In the case of SBIRs an enforceable contract is signed by both the customer and CPS.

The Company contract is only enforceable once both parties have approved it and is usually in the form of a written purchase order from a customer combined with acknowledgement from the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of such order or underlying MSA.

In cases without an MSA, the customer submits a print for a product, the Company provides a quote, and the customer responds with a purchase order. In these cases, the Company’s acceptance of the purchase order constitutes an enforceable contract.

Identifying the Performance Obligations in the Contract

For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which are distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. For SBIRs the Company is obligated to provide certain services over the life of the agreement and the customer is obligated to pay for those services, generally monthly, as they are performed. In some cases, SBIR payments are made equally over time, regardless of the services actually performed. In these instances, revenue is recognized based on services actually performed in accordance with the contracted budget. Excess payments are included in deferred revenue and revenue from services performed in excess of payments are included on other receivables.

Shipping and handling activities for which the Company is responsible arenot a separate promised service but instead are activities to fulfill the entity’s promise to transfer goods. Shipping and handling fees will be recognized at the same time as the related performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company provides an assurance-type warranty. This guarantees that the product functions as promised and meets specifications. Under its terms and conditions, the Company offers a30 day warranty and replaces defective or non-conforming products. The expense of replacement is recorded at the time the Company agrees to replace a defective or non-conforming product. This assurance type warranty isnot considered to be a distinct performance obligation.

Determining the Transaction Price

The Company determines the transaction price as the amount of consideration specified in the contract that it expects to receive in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to the customer. Amounts collected from customers for sales value added and other taxes are excluded from the transaction prices. Product sales are recorded net of trade discounts and sales returns. The Company will establish a reserve for product returns when necessary based on returns history and specific circumstances in which the Company anticipates returns to occur. Such product return reserves are recorded as a reduction to revenue.

If a contract includes a variable amount, such as a rebate, then the Company estimates the transaction price using either the expected value or the most likely amount of consideration to be received, depending upon the specific facts and circumstances. The Company includes estimated variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue willnot occur when the uncertainty is resolved. The Company updates its estimate of variable consideration at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in facts and circumstances. As ofDecember 27, 2025there areno contracts with variable consideration.

When credit is granted to customers, payment is typically due30 to90 days from billing and accordingly our contracts with customers donot include a significant financing component.

Allocating the Transaction Price to the Performance Obligations

In virtually all cases the transaction price is tied to a specific product or service in the contract obviating the need for any allocation.

Recognizing Revenue When (or as) the Performance Obligations are Satisfied

The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when it transfers control of the promised goods or services to the customer, which typically occurs once the product has shipped or has been delivered to the customer or the service has been performed. Occasionally, for the purpose of ensuring a steady flow of products, the Company ships products on consignment. In these instances, delivery is deemed to have occurred when the customer pulls inventory out of the warehouse for use in their production, or upon a specified period as agreed upon by both parties. As ofDecember 27, 2025there areno products on consignment.

The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have beenone year or less. The costs are recorded within, selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company doesnot disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length ofone year or less.

(2)(h) Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in affect when the differences reverse.

(2)(i) Net Income Per Common 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 option 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.

(2)(j) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In the normal course of business, management evaluates all the new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”). In December 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 which requires a reconciliation of the amount of reported income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations and the amount computed by multiplying the income (or loss) from continuing operations before income taxes by the applicable statutory federal (national) income tax rate of the jurisdiction (country) of domicile. See note (12) for more information.

(2)(k) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses recorded during the reporting period. Such estimates are adjusted by management periodically as a result of existing or anticipated economic changes which effect, ormayeffect, the Company’s financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(2)(l) Fiscal Year-End

The Company’s fiscal year end is the last Saturday inDecemberwhich could result in a52 or53 week year. Fiscal years2025 and 2024 each consisted of52 weeks.

(2)(m) 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, 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 stock options granted.

(2)(n) Segment Reporting

The Company views its operations and manages its business asone 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 aretwo tothree 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 doesnot make operating decisions or assess financial performance by the end markets which ultimately use the products. Our chief operating decision maker (CDOM) is Brian Mackey, our President and CEO. The Company's CODM regularly reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis and does not evaluate the Company's operating segment using asset or liability information. Instead, the CODM uses consolidated revenue, gross margin, demand creation costs, 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.

(4) Marketable Securities

Investments consist of U.S. Treasury bills and U.S. Government bonds 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 accumulated other comprehensive income.

(5) Fair value ofMarketable 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 U.S. Treasury bills and U.S. Government bonds with a maturity of 12 months or less and which fall under Level II of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of these securities as ofDecember 27, 2025 andDecember 28, 2024 was $8,769,363 and $1,031,001, respectively.

(7) Leases

The Company hasone real estate lease now expiring inFebruary 2028. In August 2025 the Company exercised its option to extend the lease term for two additional years. 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 of12 months or fewer.

The real estate lease expiring in2028 (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 are based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the remaining lease term using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date of the lease. The Company doesnot separate lease components from non-lease components. The Company’s lease agreements donot contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Norton facility lease comprises approximately 38 thousand square feet. The lease is a 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 buy the property and afirst right of refusal during the term of the lease. In December 2025, the owner of the property filed for a receivership under Massachusetts state law. The Company does not expect this filing to have an impact on its operations or on the lease. Annual rental payments are through maturity are reflected in the table below.
