This disclosure for CPS Technologies Corp. for the year ended December 31, 2023 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Rule).

The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products.

Nearly all manufacturing and testing is performed in our 38,000 square foot facility located at 111 South Worcester Street.

Business/Product Overview

CPS Technologies Corp. (the “Company” or “CPS”) provides advanced material solutions to the electronics, power generation, automotive, and other industries. The Company’s products are generally used in high-power, high-reliability applications.

The 3TG components involved in our manufacturing process are primarily gold plating, gold alloy solder and are focused with eight vendors. The Director of Quality Assurance has responsibility to: monitor all 3TG materials in our process, inform and educate our 3TG vendors of the Conflict Minerals regulations, and to solicit information pertaining to the source of their 3TG materials. This process is performed annually using Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) which all vendors of 3TG materials submitted to the Company annually, within the last 12 months.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) and RCOI conclusion:

We conducted an analysis of our products related to SEC defined “conflict minerals”, which are tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG) and based on CPS’s reasonable country of origin inquiry we have no reason to believe that our necessary conflict minerals may have originated in the DRC or adjoining countries.
