reliability with smart composite products Why Invest? • Markets - Large & growing (high speed rail, HEV/EV, aerospace/defense, oil and gas) • Technology – Strong, proprietary process technology for combining metals and ceramics • Products – Components which improve performance and reliability (providing thermal expansion matching, light weight, strength and stiffness) • Customers - Major electronics OEMs ; 2/3 of revenue from Europe and Asia • Competition – Primarily Japanese (competitors use different process technologies) • Financial – Profitable, cash - flow positive, no debt • Management – Experienced and capable • Facilities – Lean manufacturing in USA, can double in size in existing facilities 3

reliability with smart composite products What do we do? Using proprietary process technology, we develop and manufacture advanced materials solutions and products particularly combinations of metals and ceramics to improve the performance and reliability of applications in a variety of end markets. Our primary advanced materials today are metal matrix composites (MMCs), particularly AlSiC. 4

reliability with smart composite products What are MMCs? Ceramic Reinforcement Examples Composite Key Properties Particles (SiC) Thermal Expansion match (CTE) to electronic components (ICs, substrates, etc.) Continuous Fiber (Al 2 0 3 ) Greater strength and stiffness Sintered Ceramics (SiC) Greater strength and stiffness, etc. MMCs are made by reinforcing aluminum with ceramic particles, fibers, bubbles, sintered ceramics or other reinforcements (analogous to rebar in cement). 5

reliability with smart composite products Our History – and Where Are We Today? Founded in 1984 as MIT spin - off, IPO in 1987, Symbol CPSH. Research 1984 - 1993 Development 1994 - 1997 Manufacturing 1998 forward 2013 ~$21 M in revenues, solidly profitable, 160 employees Located in Massachusetts; 2/3 of revenues from export to Europe and Asia ISO 9001:2008 certified, fully - qualified manufacturer at multi - national electronics systems houses 6

reliability with smart composite products Who Buys from CPS? Major electronics and automotive OEMs worldwide. Today 2/3 of revenues are from Europe and Asia 8

reliability with smart composite products Current Market Segments CPS is the worldwide leader in MMCs in these growth electronics m arkets: • Traction Market: We make components for motor control modules used in high - speed and regular railways, subway cars, and electricity - generating wind turbines. • Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Market (HEV/EV): We make components for motor control modules used in HEV/EVs. • Aerospace/Defense: We make components used as heat spreaders and housings for high performance ICs and hybrid circuits used in aerospace/defense applications. 9

reliability with smart composite products What Pain Do We Solve at our Customers? The pain is heat - thermal management – Many electronic applications are limited in reliability and/or performance because of Mismatch in the thermal expansion of components and the inability to remove heat from the assembly. The pain is increasing in many, many applications! 10
