in this conference call that are not strictly historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and should be considered as subject to the many uncertainties that exist in CPS&rsquo; operation

<TD STYLE="width: 0"></TD><TD STYLE="width: 1.25in"></TD><TD>These uncertainties include economic conditions, market demands and competitive factors. Such factors could cause actual results

<TD STYLE="width: 0"></TD><TD STYLE="width: 1.25in"></TD><TD>Our revenues for the quarter totaled $3.6 million, down 39 percent from the $5.8 million earned in the first quarter of 2011.
Two-thirds of this decline was in our AlSiC products and most of this was associated with the traction market; that is high-speed
trains. This market continues to be weak as the aftershock of the train crashed last summer in China persists. However, we are
seeing signs of what we believe will be in an inevitable rebound.</TD></TR></TABLE>

<TD STYLE="width: 0"></TD><TD STYLE="width: 1.25in"></TD><TD>Sales of our products for lids used as heat spreaders were also down and some key products were nearing their end of life.
These reductions in our AlSiC products were partially offset by the increase in pin fin coolers used in the hybrid electric vehicles.</TD></TR></TABLE>

<TD STYLE="width: 0"></TD><TD STYLE="width: 1.25in"></TD><TD>Largely as a result of reduced revenues our gross margin dropped from 15 percent in the first quarter last year to a negative
1 percent in the first quarter of 2012. In particular, this reflects the fact that our fixed manufacturing cost was spread over
a sharp reduction in revenues.</TD></TR></TABLE>

<TD STYLE="width: 0"></TD><TD STYLE="width: 1.25in"></TD><TD>Selling, general and administrative expenses were flat versus the first quarter last year. And our other expense or interest
expense was down due to the net payback of our capital leases which reduced that cost. We also benefited from a tax credit of approximately
37 percent of our pre-tax loss in the current quarter.</TD></TR></TABLE>

end of March. Inventories on the other hand increased from $3.1 million to $3.4 million during the quarter, reflecting our conscious
decision to build inventories on high-volume products that will be required to meet customer-provided forecasts for the balance
of the year.</TD></TR></TABLE>

cash balance decreased from $1.1 million at year end to a little over $600,000 at the end of March, due principally to operating
losses which we incurred during the quarter.</TD></TR></TABLE>

impressed at your diligence. And to be quite candid, this general topic was one of the reasons I was in Europe last week with our
Director of Marketing.</P>

our baseplates are not used in Infineon&rsquo;s HybridPack II. They&rsquo;re using a copper pin fin baseplates as the press release
indicates.</TD></TR></TABLE>

<TD STYLE="width: 0"></TD><TD STYLE="width: 1.25in"></TD><TD>Let me just say that as they look at HybridPack III, IV or V that we certainly expect to be a supplier in those future generation
products. Not all of them, but certainly some of them. We are a very important vendor to them and we have a wonderful deep relationship
as it relates to the development of next-generation products.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Sonata Hybrid uses the HybridPack II. But the development for the HybridPack II was finished over two years ago and we&rsquo;ve
been working with Infineon and with other suppliers for future generation products.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Grant, could you give us more color on some design wins and coading activity that you mentioned in your press release?</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/18pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 1.25in; text-indent: -1.25in">Grant Bennett:&#9;Sure. Every
business runs to a different heartbeat and the nature of our business really is design wins. We are fundamentally, generally speaking,
a components supplier into high-reliability equipment. And we need to get the design win and then the eventual OEM needs to manufacture
and be successful in selling that equipment.</P>

<TD STYLE="width: 0"></TD><TD STYLE="width: 1.25in"></TD><TD>I&rsquo;m very pleased that we have, in the past quarter, achieved a design win with a major company co-headquarted in Switzerland
and Sweden for a traction and wind turbine motor control application. This is a customer that has recently significantly expanded
their capacity in this area.</TD></TR></TABLE>

for several years, the qualification cycle is quite quick so that we actually will see before the end of this year some demand
from that design win.</TD></TR></TABLE>

module industry is starting to be developed in China and we&rsquo;re pleased that we&rsquo;re in the qualification process for
some baseplates there as well.</TD></TR></TABLE>
