operator. Good afternoon, everyone. Before we begin the business portion of the call, I would like to point out to all of you that
statements 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;
operations and environment. These uncertainties include economic conditions, market demands, and competitive factors. Such factors
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statement.</P>

this increase occurred in our traction business.</TD></TR></TABLE>

<TD STYLE="width: 0"></TD><TD STYLE="width: 1.25in"></TD><TD>We also benefited from tax credits as we did last year. In both the fourth quarter this year and the fourth quarter last year,
these credits offset the majority of our pretax losses as we trued-up our total year accrual. As you will note, we have nearly
$2.8 million of deferred tax assets on our balance sheet and we&rsquo;re confident that we will be able to use them. None of these
credits expired before 2020 and they will shield approximately $7 million of future pre-tax earnings.</TD></TR></TABLE>

able to operate on a cash breakeven basis in the fourth quarter despite experiencing over a $700,000 increase in receivables due
to the large increase in revenues. We were able to achieve this breakeven point by reducing inventories and prudently managing
capital expenditures as cited earlier.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Ralph. And thanks to all of you for joining us. In our conference call in last August I indicated that we expected demand would
increase in the fourth quarter; in our November conference call, we confirmed that outlook. I&rsquo;m delighted to issue the results
today showing that indeed there was a substantial uptick in demand in the fourth quarter. As Ralph has indicated, our fourth quarter
revenues were up 50 percent compared to our third quarter revenues.</P>

we primarily sell to European module manufacturers who in turn sell their modules on the worldwide market. Approximately 40 percent
of the worldwide demand for modules used in trains is coming out of China. Even though we sell primarily in the Europe, 40 percent
of our European customers&rsquo; demand, is in fact, from China. This market has been growing over time and has been quite</TD></TR></TABLE>

on the high speed train crash in China in June of 2011; as a result of that crash, China suspended railway construction. This rippled
down through the supply chain throughout 2012; we are pleased that this issue in now in the past and the Chinese have resumed construction
and the associated purchases. P of what we see in Q4 is the return of underlying demand in China generating demand for our customers
and for us. We continue to see approximately a 10-year rail build out program in China.</P>

These modules are also used in wind turbines and increasingly, they&rsquo;re being used in high voltage power transmission. They
are penetrating markets and taking share away from older technologies. This is a little bit of a simplistic explanation, but essentially
they&rsquo;re replacing many types of transformers to step up or step down the voltage in high voltage electrical transmission.</TD></TR></TABLE>

yes. What&rsquo;s your inquiries of the new products? And what new markets do you think your product &ndash; your products have
application for? And I guess, the second part of the question was, you know, backlog. What is your backlog at the current time?
And what kind of delivery time is that?</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;Let me comment
on new products. One way to think about this is that we have certain market segments or application areas where we are very active
such as the market for motor control modules that I have commented on. As we work with our primary customers on an ongoing basis,
we are prototyping and developing the next generation products for their applications. And so if you look at our backlog today,
you would see that in addition to the recurring revenue products, there are many, many prototype orders where we are providing
products to our customers who are developing their next generation products.</P>

will shortly be available, we have stopped doing that simply because the number is difficult to understand. Most of our customers
where we have recurring revenue have an annual price negotiation with us; we agree on a price based on a forecast that they give
us of their annual demand. And then we ship product usually in a consigned inventory situation to their production facility. The
sale occurs when they actually pick the product from their warehouse. And this is a method originally developed by Dell that has
really spread throughout much of industry.</TD></TR></TABLE>

most of our customers are reasonably good in terms of forecasting, we&rsquo;ve chosen to not report on our backlog. As we have
carefully reviewed the forecasts for 2013 and as we have judgmentally adjusted them based on our own assessment of the underlying
conditions, we are looking at demand in 2013 that is certainly significantly higher than we experienced in 2012.</TD></TR></TABLE>

to become cash flow positive?</P>

a very good question, Michael. And I&rsquo;ll start off by saying, of course, it depends a lot on the product mix as we have different
margins on different products. But order of magnitude, $4-1/2 million would be &ndash; per quarter about breakeven from a cash
standpoint. And as I look into the first half of this year, I would say that the good chance will be cash breakeven for the first
half.</P>

a line of credit with Sovereign Bank up to $2 million provided that we have the borrowing capacity supported by receivables. We
expect that line to be renewed in May as it has for the last several years. And we feel that even with this kind of growth where
you have higher receivables that we&rsquo;ll be able to manage well within that situation. And as I said, for the first half of

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/18pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 1.25in; text-indent: -1.25in">Grant Bennett:&#9;Yes. We
don&rsquo;t have any recurring production in that area but if you look at the auto industry the electronic content is increasing
in cars with internal combustion engines. For example, the engine control module itself is a very sophisticated computer. T engine
compartment in a traditional internal combustion car is a challenging environment for any electronics to survive. The fundamental
attributes that our material brings, thermal expansion matching and thermal conductivity are attractive to designers who are working
on things like the engine control module for internal combustion cars.</P>

And this the final question also the new products. If you look at the number of patents that are filed that mentioned AlSiC, a
high percentage of these most recently are used for high powered light emitting diodes. Anything &ndash; any design activity there?</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;Very good
question. The crisp answer is we have an occasional prototype order. We have looked at this market in some detail. An LED, of course,
is a very small integrated circuit. The LED tends to be so small itself that the expansion rate mismatch between the LED and typically
copper or even aluminum is not a major problem unless there is a very tight and a larger array of LEDs. So as it relates to many
LED applications, we don&rsquo;t think there&rsquo;s a role for us but the products that we have been involved with, for which
we do believe we have a role, are LED applications with dense arrays. We have had discussions with several automotive lighting
companies where LED headlights are another example of a tight close array, we have also made prototypes for use in LED projection
bulbs.</P>

Our R&amp;D really is focused in two areas. One area is in armor and structural application. We have a desire to diversify our
sources of revenue, and armor and the structural applications are, of course, completely independent of the electronic applications.
Our fundamental process technology is directly applicable there. Our goal there given the very long development cycles has been
to seek to obtain external funding for that R&amp;D. We&rsquo;ve been able to do that for a number of years.</P>

<TD STYLE="width: 0"></TD><TD STYLE="width: 1.25in"></TD><TD>The second area for our R&amp;D is to focus on making significant improvements in what we offer our customers in our current
product areas. So without going in to detail, we have a program internally where we are working on the next generation base plate
for traction modules that would provide the customer with both a meaningful cost reduction and a significant performance improvement.
If we&rsquo;re successful in that development, not only would it solidify our position in that market but it would allow us to
penetrate new applications for the use of motor control modules that currently we&rsquo;re not participating in. Applications like
control modules that would go into industrial equipment such CNCs.</TD></TR></TABLE>
