(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 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements of CPS reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for such periods.

The Company`s balance sheet at December 29, 2007 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant`s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007.

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 net income or net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss 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.

The following table presents the calculation of both basic and diluted EPS:

The Company maintains a stock incentive plan (the "Plan"), which is described more fully in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2007 Annual Report filed on Form10-K. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Share-Based Payments (revised 2004)," (SFAS No. 123R) which requires the Company to measure 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). Under SFAS No. 123R, the Company provides an estimate of forfeitures at initial grant date. The Company elected the modified prospective transition method under SFAS No. 123R and accordingly has not restated periods prior to adoption. There were no shares granted under the Plan during the quarters ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007. During the three and six months ended June 28, 2008, the Company recognized $12,135 and $22,254 respectively as shared-based compensation expense related to previously granted shared under the Plan. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized $15,122 and $25,281 respectively as shared-based compensation expense related to previously granted shares under the Plan.

Inventories consist of the following:

Accrued expenses consist of the following:

Overview
CPS Technologies Corporation (the `Company` or `CPS`) (formerly Ceramics Process Systems Corporation) provides advanced material solutions to the electronics, robotics, automotive and other industries. Our primary advanced material solution is metal matrix composites, a new class of materials which are a combination of metal and ceramic. CPS has a leading, proprietary position in metal matrix composites. Metal matrix composites have several superior properties compared to conventional materials - improved thermal conductivity, thermal expansion matching, stiffness and light weight - which enable higher performance and higher reliability in our customers` products.

Like plastics many years ago, this new class of materials will penetrate many end markets over many years. CPS management believes our business model of providing advanced material solutions to a portfolio of high growth end markets which are, at any point in time, in various stages of the technology adoption lifecycle, provides CPS with the opportunity for sustained growth and a diversified customer base. We believe we have validated this model as we are now supplying customers at all stages of the technology adoption lifecycle.

CPS is the leader in supplying metal matrix composites to certain high growth electronics end markets which are well along in the adoption lifecycle and therefore generating significant demand. These end markets include high-performance integrated circuits and circuit boards used in internet switches and routers, as well as motor controllers used in high-speed electric trains, subway cars and wind turbines. CPS supplies heat spreaders, lids and baseplates to customers in these end markets. CPS is a fully qualified manufacturer for many of the world`s largest electronics OEMs.

Concurrently, CPS is participating in certain end markets that are at an earlier stage of the adoption lifecycle. Management believes these end markets will generate additional growth longer-term. An example of such an end market is motor controllers for hybrid automotives and trucks; CPS has been supplying prototypes into this end market for several years. Management believes that several of the programs for which we are selling prototypes will enter volume production in the future.

We are also actively working with customers in end markets at the beginning stages of the adoption lifecycle. An example is CPS`s HybridTech armor technology which has the potential for greater multi-hit capability, lighter weight and lower costs than conventional armor.

Our products are manufactured by proprietary processes we have developed including the QuicksetTM Injection Molding Process (`Quickset Process`) and the QuickCastTM Pressure Infiltration Process (`QuickCast Process`).

CPS was incorporated in Massachusetts in 1984 as Ceramics Process Systems Corporation and reincorporated in Delaware in April 1987 through a merger into a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary organized for purposes of the reincorporation. In July 1987, CPS completed our initial public offering of 1.5 million shares of our Common Stock. In March 2007, Ceramics Process Systems Corporation was renamed CPS Technologies Corporation.

Results of Operations for the Second Fiscal Quarter of 2008 (Q2 2008) Compared to the Second Fiscal Quarter of 2007 (Q2 2007)

Total revenue was $4,472 thousand in Q2 2008, a 46% increase from revenue of $3,067 thousand in Q2 2007. The increase in revenues came from all product families except baseplates for cellular telephone basestations which continued to decline as these specific products near their end of life. We supply components to OEMs; each of our products has a specific life cycle. The revenue growth in Q2 came primarily from products introduced 1-2 years ago which have now entered the growth phase of their product life cycles; this is particularly the case for specific flip-chip heat spreaders used in high-performance switches and routers which generated the greatest growth in Q2. Demand for baseplates used in motor controllers also increased as did demand for hermetic metal packages.

Inventories increased to $1,570 thousand at June 28, 2008 from $1,416 thousand at December 29, 2007. Raw materials inventory increased primarily due to purchased components used in the Company`s hermetic packaging products; work-in-process inventory increased to support higher unit shipments; finished goods inventory decreased at the Company`s Norton location due to timing of shipments. Of the total finished goods inventory of $848 thousand at June 28, 2008, $567 thousand was located at customers` locations pursuant to consigned inventory agreements. Of the total finished goods inventory of $886 thousand at December 29, 2007, $515 thousand was located at customers` locations pursuant to consigned inventory agreements.

The Company financed its working capital during Q2 2008 and the six months ended June 28, 2008 with existing cash balances and funds generated by operations. The Company expects it will continue to be able to fund its working capital requirements for the remainder of 2008 from these same sources.

The Company continues to sell to a limited number of customers and the loss of any one of these customers could cause the Company to require additional external financing. 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 achieve its business objectives.

In April 2005, the Company entered line of credit and equipment lease agreements with Sovereign Bank. The line of credit is a revolving credit facility allowing the Company to borrow up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable, up to a maximum of $1 million, subject to the Company complying with certain covenants. The line of credit has a one-year term and has been renewed each year since 2005. In Q2 2008 the term was extended to May 2009. As of June 28, 2008 there were no borrowings under the line of credit.

The equipment lease facility allows the Company to lease up to $1.5 million of eligible capital equipment. As of June 28, 2008, the Company has leased capital equipment with a carrying value of $719 thousand from Sovereign Bank under the lease facility agreement, and $781 thousand of availability for future use under the lease facility agreement.

As of June 28, 2008 production equipment included $516 thousand of construction in progress, and in addition, the Company had outstanding commitments to purchase $176 thousand of production equipment. The Company intends to finance production equipment in construction in progress and outstanding commitments under the lease agreement with existing cash balances and funds generated by operations.

In July 2006 the Company entered into a lease for its current operating facilities of approximately 37,520 square feet of rentable space located on approximately seven acres at its current site in Norton, MA. The term of the lease is ten years. 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 a first right of refusal during the term of the lease. Annual rental payments are $100 thousand in year one increasing to $150 thousand in year ten.

The Company`s contractual obligations at June 28, 2008 consist of the following:

The Company is not significantly exposed to the impact of interest rate changes or foreign currency fluctuations. The Company has not used derivative financial instruments.

(a) The Company`s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company`s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d - 14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on such evaluation, such officer has concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, 1) the Company`s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports the Company files under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and 2) the Company`s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
