KOPIN CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kopin Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kowon Technology Co., Ltd. (Kowon), a majority owned (93%) subsidiary located in Korea, Ikanos Consulting Ltd. (Ikanos) a majority owned (51%) subsidiary located in the United Kingdom and eMDT America Inc. (eMDT), a majority owned (51%) subsidiary located in California (collectively the “Company”). Ownership interests of Kowon, Ikanos and eMDT not attributable to the Company are referred to as noncontrolling interests. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012 are unaudited and include all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the periods then ended. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012.
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company paid approximately $3.7 million to acquire an additional 15% ownership in its Kowon subsidiary from the minority shareholders, as part of the Company's plan to close Kowon. The sale of the facility does not meet the criteria for assets held for sale based on the anticipated time to sell the facility.
The results of the Company's operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company's operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. ASU No. 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. ASU No. 2013-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this ASU on December 30, 2012 with no impact on its financial statements.
During the nine months ended September 28, 2013, the change in the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income was the net of $0.1 million cumulative translation adjustment, $(1.4) million unrealized holding losses on marketable securities, $(1.9) million of reclassified holding gains, $(1.6) million related to the sale of its III-V product line and $0.4 million related to its acquisition of additional noncontrolling interest in Kowon.

2. Discontinued Operations
On January 16, 2013 (the Closing Date), the Company sold its III-V product line, including all of the outstanding equity interest in KTC Wireless, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company established to facilitate the sale of the Company's investment in KTC to IQE KC, LLC and IQE plc pursuant to a Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) entered into on January 10, 2013 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $75 million, subject to working capital adjustments and certain other adjustments. Upon agreement of the final working capital and other adjustments the net purchase price was $70.2 million and the gain on sale, net of tax, was $20.4 million. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, $55 million was paid to the Company in January 2013, $0.2 million was paid in April 2013 and the remaining $15.0 million will be paid to the Company on the third anniversary of the Closing Date. The Company has recorded the $15.0 million receivable at the discounted value of $14.8 million, at the date of disposition, which is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company is accreting this balance over the three year period.
The operating results of the III-V product line prior to the sale are reported within income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the consolidated statement of operations. The assets and liabilities associated with the III-V product line are presented as current assets held for sale, noncurrent assets held for sale, current liabilities held for sale and noncurrent liabilities held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2012.

3. CASH AND EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company considers all highly liquid, short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Marketable debt securities consist primarily of certificates of deposit, medium-term corporate debt, and United States government and agency backed securities. The Company classifies these marketable debt securities as available-for-sale in “Marketable Debt Securities”. The Company records the amortization of premium and accretion of discount on marketable debt securities in the results of operations.
The Company uses the specific identification method as a basis for determining cost and calculating realized gains and losses with respect to marketable debt securities. The gross gains and losses realized related to sales and maturities of marketable debt securities were not material during the nine months ended September 28, 2013 and the year ended December 29, 2012.
Investments in available-for-sale marketable debt securities are as follows at September 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012:

| Amortized Cost |  | Unrealized Gains |  | Unrealized Losses |  | Fair Value
| 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2013 |  | 2012
U.S. government and agency backed securities | $ | 71,496,967 |  |  | $ | 38,074,136 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 508,820 |  |  | $ | (519,660 | ) |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 70,977,307 |  |  | $ | 38,582,956 |
Corporate debt and certificates of deposit | 26,594,161 |  |  | 27,031,866 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | (114,058 | ) |  | (264,860 | ) |  | 26,480,103 |  |  | 26,767,006 |
Total | $ | 98,091,128 |  |  | $ | 65,106,002 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 508,820 |  |  | $ | (633,718 | ) |  | $ | (264,860 | ) |  | $ | 97,457,410 |  |  | $ | 65,349,962 |

The contractual maturity of the Company’s marketable debt securities is as follows at September 28, 2013:

| Less than One year |  | One to Five years |  | Greater than Five years |  | Total
U.S. government and agency backed securities | $ | 11,706,953 |  |  | $ | 47,301,186 |  |  | $ | 11,969,168 |  |  | $ | 70,977,307 |
Corporate debt and certificates of deposit | 21,600,623 |  |  | 3,886,980 |  |  | 992,500 |  |  | 26,480,103 |
Total | $ | 33,307,576 |  |  | $ | 51,188,166 |  |  | $ | 12,961,668 |  |  | $ | 97,457,410 |

The Company conducts a review of its marketable debt securities on a quarterly basis for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). The Company assesses whether OTTI is present when the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date. Under these circumstances OTTI is considered to have occurred (1) if the Company intends to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; (2) if it is “more likely than not” the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis.
The Company further estimates the amount of OTTI resulting from a decline in the credit worthiness of the issuer (credit-related OTTI) and the amount of non credit-related OTTI. Noncredit-related OTTI can be caused by such factors as market illiquidity. Credit-related OTTI is recognized in earnings while noncredit-related OTTI on securities not expected to be sold is recognized in other comprehensive loss. The Company did not record an OTTI for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Financial instruments are categorized as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 based upon the method by which their fair value is computed. An investment is categorized as Level 1 when its fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An investment is categorized as Level 2 if its fair market value is based on quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, based on observable inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, or derived from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. An investment is categorized as Level 3 if its fair value is based on assumptions developed by the Company about what a market participant would use in pricing the assets.
The following table details the fair value measurements of the Company’s financial assets:

|  |  | Fair Value Measurement at September 28, 2013 Using:
|  |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3

The corporate debt consists of floating rate notes with a maturity that is over multiple years but has interest rates which are reset every three months based on the then current three month London Interbank Offering Rate (three month Libor). The Company determines the fair market values of these corporate debt instruments through the use of a model which incorporates the three month Libor, the credit default swap rate of the issuer and the bid and ask price spread of the same or similar investments which are traded on several markets.
The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. If accrued liabilities were carried at fair value, these would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
During the three months ended September 28, 2013, the Company sold its investments in Advanced Wireless Semiconductor Company and WIN Semiconductor Corp. for $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and recorded a gain on the sale of the investments of $1.9 million.

5. INVENTORY
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in, first-out) or market and consists of the following at September 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012:

| September 28, 2013 |  | December 29, 2012

Finished goods | 410,377 |  |  | 1,369,054 |
| $ | 2,842,735 |  |  | $ | 5,789,753 |

6. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period less any non-vested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per common share, if applicable, is calculated using weighted average shares outstanding and contingently issuable shares, less weighted average shares reacquired during the period. The net outstanding shares are adjusted for the dilutive effect of shares issuable upon the assumed conversion of the Company’s common stock equivalents, which consist of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock units.
Weighted average common shares outstanding used to calculate earnings per share are as follows:

| Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
| September 28, 2013 |  | September 29, 2012 |  | September 28, 2013 |  | September 29, 2012
Weighted average common shares outstanding-basic | 63,542,348 |  |  | 63,415,345 |  |  | 62,620,814 |  |  | 63,572,753 |
Stock options and non-vested restricted common stock | — |  |  | — |  |  | 1,089,019 |  |  | — |
Weighted average common shares outstanding-diluted | 63,542,348 |  |  | 63,415,345 |  |  | 63,709,833 |  |  | 63,572,753 |

The following were not included in weighted average common shares outstanding-diluted because they are anti-dilutive or performance or market conditions had not been met at the end of the period.

| September 28, 2013 |  | September 29, 2012
Non-vested restricted common stock | 1,445,000 |  |  | 2,881,116 |
Stock options | 708,334 |  |  | 1,838,345 |
Total | 2,153,334 |  |  | 4,719,461 |

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The fair value of stock option awards is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. There were no stock options granted in the nine month period ended September 28, 2013, or in fiscal year 2012. The fair value of non-vested restricted common stock awards is generally the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The non-vested common stock awards require the employee to fulfill certain obligations, including remaining employed by the Company for one, two or four years (the vesting period) and in certain cases also require meeting either performance criteria or the Company’s stock achieving a certain price. For non-vested restricted common stock awards which solely require the recipient to remain employed with the Company, the stock compensation expense is amortized over the anticipated service period. For non-vested restricted common stock awards which require the achievement of performance criteria, the Company reviews the probability of achieving the performance goals on a periodic basis. If the Company determines that it is probable that the performance criteria will be achieved, the amount of compensation cost derived for the performance goal is amortized over the service period. If the performance criteria are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed. The Company recognizes compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for time-vested awards.

In 2011, the Company granted 380,000 shares of phantom stock which will be settled in cash at the end of the first 10 consecutive trading day period following the grant date during which the Company’s common stock trades at a price per share equal to or greater than $5.25, prior to September 12, 2016. The vesting of the awards upon achieving a closing stock price of $5.25 for 10 consecutive days is considered a market condition which requires the Company to periodically assess the fair market value of the award, with increases or decrease in the fair market value being reflected in the statement of operations.
On May 9, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Company approved the issuances of 1,051,000 shares of non-vested restricted common stock to officers and other employees of the Company which vest at the rate of 20% per year over 5 years if the officer or employee remains with the Company. The Compensation Committee of the Company also approved the issuance of 600,000 shares of non-vested restricted common stock to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company which vest if certain performance and market criteria are met and the CEO remains with the Company during the period in which the criteria are met.
A summary of award activity under the stock option plans as of September 28, 2013 and changes during the nine month period is as follows (all options were vested as of September 28, 2013):

9. ACQUISITION OF eMDT AND IKANOS
In July 2012, the Company commenced consolidating Ikanos.
In April 2013, the Company acquired 51% of the outstanding stock of eMDT, a private company, for $400,000. The assets, liabilities and results of operations of eMDT have been consolidated within the Company's financial statements since April 17, 2013. The Company has an option to acquire an additional 25% of the Company for $200,000. In connection with the acquisition, the Company has preliminarily allocated excess purchase price in the amount of approximately $400,000 to goodwill. The Company's purchase accounting is preliminary as the Company is finalizing the value of assets and liabilities acquired including its identification of potential intangible assets.
The Company's goodwill balance is as follows:

Balance, December 29, 2012 | $ | 684,789 |
Acquisition of eMDT | 395,713 |

10. ACCRUED WARRANTY
The Company typically warrants its products against defect for 12 months. A provision for estimated future costs and estimated returns for credit relating to warranty is recorded in the period when product is shipped and revenue recognized, and is updated as additional information becomes available. The Company’s estimate of future costs to satisfy warranty obligations is based primarily on historical warranty expense experienced and a provision for potential future product failures. Changes in the accrued warranty for the nine months ended September 28, 2013 are as follows:

Balance, December 29, 2012 | $ | 716,000 |
Additions | 919,000 |
Claim and reversals | (917,000 | )
Balance, September 28, 2013 | $ | 718,000 |

11. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s tax benefit of approximately $33,000 for the three months ended September 28, 2013 represents state income tax liabilities on its domestic taxable earnings and estimated foreign taxes due on its international subsidiaries' taxable earnings. The tax benefit of approximately $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2013 represents the net of the above and an intraperiod tax allocation related to the Company's discontinued operations. The income tax provision of $10,000 and $22,799 for the corresponding periods in 2012, represents state income taxes and foreign tax expenses, which are partially offset by tax credits.
For the nine months ended September 28, 2013, discontinued operations reflects the gain on the sale of the III-V product line and investment in KTC. The Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards which may be used to offset the gain on the sale of the III-V product line and investment in KTC. The federal tax benefit from the utilization of the net operating losses is shown in the Company's tax provision in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Included in the sales price related to the disposition of the III-V product line and the investment in KTC is a $15.0 million note receivable which is due in three years. The note provides the Company with alternative tax treatments in computing the taxes associated with the transaction. The Company has until the end of its fiscal year to make a final determination on the tax treatment of the transaction and accordingly the final taxes and the amount of net operating loss carryforward utilized may change.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, intraperiod tax allocation provisions require allocation of a tax expense to the gain on discontinued operations based upon the Company's statutory tax rate. The Company has net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards available to offset the tax expense. The benefit of these NOLs is reflected in the tax benefit from continuing operations. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a tax expense in discontinued operations and a benefit in continuing operations of $13.1 million.
As of September 28, 2013, the Company has available for tax purposes U.S. federal NOLs of $28.7 million expiring through 2032. The Company has recognized a full valuation allowance on its domestic and certain foreign net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realization of such assets. The Company has not historically recorded, nor does it intend to record the tax benefits from stock awards until realized. Unrecorded benefits from stock awards approximate $13.0 million.
In September 2013, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service released final regulations relating to guidance on applying tax rules to amounts paid to acquire, produce or improve tangible personal property as well as rules for materials and supplies. The Company is currently assessing these rules and the impacts to the financial statements, if any.
The Company’s income tax returns have not been examined by the Internal Revenue Service and are subject to examination for all years since 2002. State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of 3 to 5 years after filing of the respective return. The state impact of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states.
12. SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. During the period ended September 28, 2013, the Company transferred the manufacturing operations of Kowon to the Company's manufacturing facility in the United States and sold its III-V product line including its investment in KTC. As a result of these transactions, the Company has reorganized its operations to align with its new strategy to primarily focus on developing its body-worn voice activated and gesture controlled cloud computing systems and display products. Accordingly, the Company has determined it has one reportable segment and the segment information for the prior periods presented has been recast to reflect the change in reportable segments.
During the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, the Company derived its sales from the following geographies (as a percentage of net revenues):

In addition, other written or oral statements, which constitute forward-looking statements, may be made by or on behalf of us. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “could”, “seeks”, “estimates”, and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in outcomes and results include, but are not limited to, those discussed below in Item 1A and those set forth in our other periodic filings filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required by law, we do not intend to update any forward-looking statements even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, including those related to revenue recognition under the percentage of completion method, bad debts, inventories, warranty reserves, investment valuations, valuation of stock compensation awards and recoverability of deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results will most likely differ from these estimates. Further detail regarding our critical accounting policies can be found in “Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012.
Business Matters
On January 16, 2013 (the Closing Date), we completed the sale of our III-V product line, including all of the outstanding equity interest in KTC Wireless, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary that held our investment in Kopin Taiwan Corporation (KTC), to IQE KC, LLC and IQE plc. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $70 million of which $15 million will be paid to us on the third anniversary of the Closing Date. We discounted the $15 million and recorded the amount due at $14.8 million on the Closing Date.
The following tables provide the pro forma revenues and total assets of the Company as if the sale of the III-V product line had been completed on December 29, 2012 (in millions):

| Consolidated |  | III-V Product Line |  | Pro Forma
Revenues | $ | 93.4 |  |  | $ | 58.8 |  |  | $ | 34.6 |

| Consolidated |  | III-V Product Line |  | Pro Forma
Total Assets | $ | 176.2 |  |  | $ | 50.7 |  |  | $ | 125.5 |

During the first quarter of 2013, we paid approximately $3.7 million to acquire an additional 15% ownership in our Kowon subsidiary from the minority shareholders as part of our plan to close Kowon. The facility is for sale and when it is sold we anticipate that a final determination of the value of the remaining shares held by the minority shareholders will be made and we will purchase these shares. The sale of the facility does not meet the criteria for assets held for sale based on the anticipated time to sell the facility.
We were incorporated in Delaware in 1984 and are a leading developer of body-worn voice activated and gesture controlled cloud computing systems and display products. Our technologies are used to create hands-free voice and gesture controlled wireless computing systems primarily worn on the head that include an optical pod featuring our proprietary miniature flat panel displays. Our systems include both commercially available software packages such as Microsoft Windows CE, Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking and Hillcrest Labs as well as our proprietary operating, noise cancellation and speech enhancement software. The systems we create are concept designs which we license to customers who wish to develop
20

Table of Contents
industrial and military products for sale to end customers. We licensed our first concept design in 2010 and our customer anticipates shipping products based on our technology in 2013. Through 2013 our revenues from licensing our Golden-i technologies has been de minimis.
Our display products consist of miniature, high performance, high resolution displays either sold separately or in various configurations with optical lenses and electronics contained in either plastic or metal housings. Current applications which include our miniature, high performance, high resolution display products are military devices, such as thermal weapon sights, and consumer devices such as digital cameras; devices that are capable of accessing the Internet using digital wireless devices and viewing data or video from other consumer electronics devices such as wireless handsets. When our display products are configured as spatial light modulators, the applications include industrial equipment for 3D Automated Optical Inspection and cinematography cameras.
We have two sources of revenues: product revenues are our primary source of revenues and we also receive research and development (R&D) revenues primarily from contracts issued by branches of the U.S. military. For the three and nine months ended September 29, 2013, R&D revenues were $0.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. This contrasted with $0.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2012.
Results of Operations
The three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012 are referred to as 2013 and 2012, respectively. The year ended period December 29, 2012 is referred to as fiscal year 2012.
Revenues. For the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, our revenues, which include product sales and amounts earned from research and development contracts, were as follows (in millions):

| Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
Display Revenues by Category (in millions ) | September 28, 2013 |  | September 29, 2012 |  | September 28, 2013 |  | September 29, 2012
Military Applications | $ | 1.5 |  |  | $ | 4.3 |  |  | $ | 7.2 |  |  | $ | 15.0 |
Consumer Electronic Applications | 3.4 |  |  | 3.0 |  |  | 8.9 |  |  | 8.8 |
Research & Development | 0.1 |  |  | 0.9 |  |  | 1.3 |  |  | 2.3 |
Total | $ | 5.0 |  |  | $ | 8.2 |  |  | $ | 17.4 |  |  | $ | 26.1 |

Sales of our products for Military Applications declined in 2013 because of reduced demand from the U.S. government. Our military products have higher profit margins than our other display products and have been a significant contributor to our overall profitability for the past several years. The U.S. government is projected to incur large budget deficits for the near future and is expected to reduce spending on military programs as part of the solution to decrease these deficits.
Sales of our products for Consumer Electronic Applications, which are primarily digital still cameras, increased slightly compared to the same periods in the prior year. Our ability to forecast our revenues in this category is very difficult as sales of our product ultimately depend on how successful our customers are in promoting their digital still camera models. There are many digital still camera models offered by a number of large consumer electronics companies and it is a very competitive product category. In addition, we typically rebid to win this business each year. The decrease in Research and Development revenues is the result of a decrease in funding from the U.S. government. We are unable to predict the amount of funding for research and development by the U.S. government as it addresses its budget deficit issues.
In 2011, we began offering a headworn, voice and gesture controlled, hands-free cloud computing concept design that has an optical pod with a microdisplay. Our plan is to license concept designs and sell the optical pod. The concept design encompasses a number of different technologies including but not limited to voice and gesture control, noise cancellation, and web browsing. Some of the technologies included in the concept design we license from other companies. Customers may license only a subset of these technologies depending on whether they wish to develop a military, industrial or consumer product. We have entered into an agreement to license technology concept design and know-how to a company that is developing an industrialized product which they commenced offering in 2013. The license is exclusive for the industrial market; non-exclusive for certain other markets and prohibits the licensee from selling to other markets. Under the terms of the license we will sell an optical pod which includes our display, optics and a back light. License revenues and sales of components in 2013 and 2012 were de minimis and were primarily to demonstrate the product concept. We believe that in subsequent years our ability to develop and expand our technologies and to market and license our concept designs will be important for our revenue growth and ability to achieve profitability. Our concept designs have a significant software component and we have limited experience in developing software. The markets to which our concept designs are targeted already have a number of existing product offerings such as ruggedized lap-top computers and tablets. The companies that offer
21

Table of Contents
these products are significantly larger than we are. We expect to incur significant development and marketing costs in 2013 to commercialize concept designs. We currently expect revenue of between $18 million and $22 million for fiscal year 2013, however our ability to forecast revenues derived from the Golden-i technology which may significantly impact our results of operations is very limited. We currently expect to have a consolidated net loss in the range of $28 million to $33 million in 2013, excluding the impact of the sale of our III-V product line and investment in KTC. Excluding the effects of working capital, our stock buyback program and other investing and financing activities, we estimate we will use between $30 million and $35 million to fund operations for fiscal year 2013.
We have provided estimated 2013 revenue and net loss ranges in order for the investor to understand the impact of both the sale of our III-V product line and expected changes in our remaining business in 2013 as compared to 2012. However, we believe we have an opportunity to position ourselves in the growing wearable cloud computing market and therefore our primary focus in 2013 is on developing technology and products and establishing relationships, and not necessarily achieving revenue, net loss or any other particular financial metric. Accordingly, our 2013 net losses may exceed our current estimates.
International sales represented 39% and 26% of product revenues for the nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, respectively. Our international sales are primarily denominated in U.S. currency. Consequently, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar could increase the price in local currencies of our products in foreign markets and make our products relatively more expensive than competitors' products that are denominated in local currencies, leading to a reduction in sales or profitability in those foreign markets. In addition, our Korean subsidiary, Kowon, holds U.S. dollars. As a result, our financial position and results of operations are subject to exchange rate fluctuation in transactional and functional currency. We have not taken any protective measures against exchange rate fluctuations, such as purchasing hedging instruments with respect to such fluctuations, because of the historically stable exchange rate between the Japanese yen, Korean won and the U.S. dollar.
Cost of Product Revenues.

| Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
| September 28, 2013 |  | September 29, 2012 |  | September 28, 2013 |  | September 29, 2012
Cost of product revenues (in millions): | $ | 4.6 |  |  | $ | 4.9 |  |  | $ | 16.8 |  |  | $ | 17.0 |
Cost of product revenues as a % of net product revenues | 94.5 | % |  | 66.5 | % |  | 104.5 | % |  | 71.3 | %

Cost of product revenues, which is comprised of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead related to the production of our products increased as a percentage of revenues in 2013 as compared to 2012 due to a decrease in the sale of our display products for military applications, normal price declines and lower unit sales of our display products. For the nine months ended September 28, 2013 our production volumes were insufficient to absorb our fixed costs.
Research and Development. Research and development (R&D) expenses are incurred in support of internal development programs or programs funded by agencies or prime contractors of the U.S. government and commercial partners. In fiscal year 2013 our R&D expenditures will be related to our display products and Golden-i technologies. R&D revenues associated with funded programs are presented separately in revenue in the statement of operations. Research and development costs include staffing, purchases of materials and laboratory supplies, circuit design costs, fabrication and packaging of display products, and overhead. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, R&D expense was as follows (in millions):

| Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
| September 28, 2013 |  | September 29, 2012 |  | September 28, 2013 |  | September 29, 2012
Funded | $ | 0.2 |  |  | $ | 0.5 |  |  | $ | 1.0 |  |  | $ | 1.4 |
Internal | 5.4 |  |  | 4.2 |  |  | 12.5 |  |  | 9.3 |
Total research and development expense | $ | 5.6 |  |  | $ | 4.7 |  |  | $ | 13.5 |  |  | $ | 10.7 |

R&D expense increased in 2013 as compared to the prior year primarily because of an increase in costs to develop our concept designs including investments in software development.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) expenses consist of the expenses incurred by our sales and marketing personnel and related expenses, and administrative and general corporate expenses.

Selling, general and administration expense as a % of revenues | 102.0 | % |  | 57.3 | % |  | 90.2 | % |  | 50.0 | %

S,G&A expenses increased in the nine months of 2013 as compared to 2012 because of increases of approximately $1.2 million in professional fees and approximately $0.8 million of patent amortization and other patent related expenses.
On May 9, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Company approved the issuances of 1,051,000 shares of non-vested restricted common stock to officers and other employees of the Company which vest at the rate of 20% per year over 5 years if the officer or employee remains with the Company. The Compensation Committee of the Company also approved the issuance of 600,000 shares of non-vested restricted common stock to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company which vest if certain performance and market criteria are met and the CEO remains with the Company during the period in which the criteria are met. We filed Form 4s with the Securities & Exchange Commission explaining the terms of the above grants to officers. The Form 4s are available at our website www.kopin.com.
Other Income and Expense

| Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
| September 28, 2013 |  | September 29, 2012 |  | September 28, 2013 |  | September 29, 2012
Other income and expense (in millions): | $ | 1.5 |  |  | $ | (0.5 | ) |  | $ | 0.2 |  |  | $ | 0.9 |

Other income and expense, net, is primarily composed of interest income, foreign currency transaction and remeasurement gains and losses incurred by our Korean and UK-based subsidiaries and (losses) gains resulting from the impairment or sale of investments. For the three months ended September 28, 2013, we recorded $0.8 million of foreign currency losses as compared to $0.4 million of foreign currency losses for the three months ended September 29, 2012. For the nine months ended September 28, 2013 we recorded $0.2 million of foreign currency losses as compared to $0.4 million of foreign currency losses for the nine months ended September 29, 2012.
During the nine months ended September 28, 2013, we recorded an impairment of $2.5 million related to the write-off a cost based investment. During the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013 we recorded a $1.9 million gain on the sale of our investments in Advanced Wireless Semiconductor Company and WIN Semiconductor Corp.
Equity Losses in Unconsolidated Affiliates. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013 the equity losses in unconsolidated affiliates consists of our approximate 12% and 23% share of the losses of KoBrite and AZ, respectively. For the three months ended September 29, 2012, the equity loss in unconsolidated affiliate consists of our approximate 12% share of the losses of KoBrite. For the nine months ended September 29, 2012 the equity losses is a result of our approximate 12% share of the losses of KoBrite and our 25% share of the losses of Ikanos.
Tax Provision. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013 we recorded a tax benefit of $33,000 and $12.9 million, respectively, compared to $10,000 and $22,799 tax provisions for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012, respectively. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, intraperiod tax allocation provisions require allocation of a tax expense to the gain on discontinued operations based upon our statutory tax rate. We have net operating loss carryforwards available to offset the tax expense. The benefit of these net operating loss carryforwards is reflected in the tax benefit from continuing operations. Accordingly, we have recorded a tax expense in discontinued operations and a benefit in continuing operations of $13.1 million.
For the three months ended September 28, 2013 our $33,000 benefit for income taxes is comprised of our state income tax liabilities on our domestic taxable earnings and estimated foreign taxes due on our international subsidiaries' taxable earnings.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest. We own approximately 93% of the equity of Kowon and approximately 51% of the equity of Ikanos and e-MDT. Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interest on our consolidated statement of operations represents the portion of the results of operations of our majority owned subsidiaries which is allocated to the shareholders of the equity interests not owned by us. The change in net income attributable to noncontrolling interest is the result of the change in the results of operations of Kowon for the three and nine month periods

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 28, 2013, we had cash and equivalents and marketable securities of $122.7 million and working capital of $116.4 million compared to $92.5 million and $106.8 million, respectively, as of December 29, 2012. The change in cash and equivalents and marketable securities was primarily due to cash provided by investing activities of $20.7 million, partially offset by net outflow of cash used in operating activities of $12.8 million, the repurchase of our common stock of $6.0 million and our purchase of shares of our Korean subsidiary, Kowon, of $3.7 million.
Cash and marketable debt securities held in U.S. dollars:

Domestic | $ | 108,362,572 |
Foreign | 11,218,821 |
Subtotal cash and marketable debt securities | 119,581,393 |
Cash and marketable debt securities held in other currencies and converted to U.S. dollars | 3,166,410 |
Total cash and marketable debt securities | $ | 122,747,803 |

We have no plans to repatriate the cash and marketable debt securities held in our foreign subsidiaries FDD and Ikanos and, as such, we have not recorded any deferred tax liability. In 2013, we expect the operations at our Korean facility, Kowon, to cease. Kowon has approximately $13.4 million of cash and marketable debt securities which we anticipate will eventually be remitted to the U.S. and, accordingly, we have recorded deferred tax liabilities associated with its unremitted earnings.
We lease facilities located in Westborough, Massachusetts, Santa Clara, California and Scotts Valley, California under non-cancelable operating leases. The Westborough, Santa Clara and the Scotts Valley leases expire in 2023, 2016 and 2014, respectively.
We lease a facility in Dalgety Bay, Scotland which expires in 2016, and also lease two facilities in Nottingham, United Kingdom, which expire in 2016 and 2017.
We expect to expend between $2.0 million and $3.0 million on capital expenditures over the next twelve months.
We have entered into a product development agreement under which we have agreed to fund up to a remaining $0.8 million of development expenses if certain milestones are achieved. As of September 28, 2013, we have paid $3.2 million under this agreement.
In the first quarter of 2013, we acquired four patents for $1.8 million and hired the patents' inventor. Upon commencement of employment, we issued to the employee 400,000 shares of our common stock of which 100,000 shares were immediately vested and 300,000 shares will vest upon the achievement of certain milestones.
In April 2013, we acquired 51% of e-MDT for $400,000. We have an option to acquire an additional 25% of the company for $200,000. Our purchase accounting is preliminary.
Included in the $1.8 million of billings in excess of revenue earned on the consolidated balance sheet at September 28, 2013, is approximately $1.0 million which we received from the state of Massachusetts as an incentive to retain jobs in Massachusetts. As a result of the sale of our III-V product line we do not anticipate earning any more amounts under the state grant agreement and we anticipate repaying all of such amounts to the state in 2013.
As of September 28, 2013, we had tax loss carry-forwards, which may be used to offset future federal taxable income. We may record a tax provision in our financial statements but we may be able to offset some or all of the amounts that are payable with our tax loss carry-forwards. We may be subject to alternative minimum taxes, foreign taxes and state income taxes depending on our taxable income and sources of taxable income.
Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through public and private placements of our equity securities. Over the past several years we have generated sufficient cash from operations to fund the business. We believe our available cash resources will support our operations and capital needs for at least the next twelve months.

Contractual Obligations
The following is a summary of our contractual payment obligations for operating leases as of September 28, 2013:

Contractual Obligations | Total |  | Less than 1 year |  | 1-3 Years |  | 3-5 years |  | More than 5 years
Operating Lease Obligations | $ | 7,774,552 |  |  | $ | 1,371,057 |  |  | $ | 2,828,475 |  |  | $ | 1,764,186 |  |  | $ | 1,810,834 |

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We invest our excess cash in high-quality U.S. government, government-backed (Fannie Mae, FDIC guaranteed bonds and certificates of deposit) and corporate debt instruments, which bear lower levels of relative risk. We believe that the effect, if any, of reasonably possible near-term changes in interest rates on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows should not be material to our cash flows or income. It is possible that interest rate movements would increase our unrecognized gain or loss on interest rate securities. We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates primarily through our translation of our foreign subsidiary's financial position, results of operations, and transaction gains and losses as a result of non U.S. dollar denominated cash flows related to business activities in Asia and Europe, and remeasurement of United States dollars to the functional currency of our U.K. and Kowon subsidiaries. We are also exposed to the effects of exchange rates in the purchase of certain raw materials which are in U.S. dollars but the price on future purchases is subject to change based on the relationship of the Japanese Yen to the U.S. dollar. We do not currently hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk. We estimate that any market risk associated with our international operations is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation. Our portfolio of marketable debt securities is subject to interest rate risk although our intent is to hold securities until maturity. The credit rating of our investments may be affected by the underlying financial health of the guarantors of our investments. We use silicon wafers but do not enter into forward or futures hedging contracts.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our quarterly evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures includes an evaluation of some components of our internal control over financial reporting, and internal control over financial reporting is also separately evaluated on an annual basis for purposes of providing the management report which is set forth herein. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 28, 2013 and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the three month period ended September 28, 2013 we transitioned the operation and maintenance of our accounting software from our internal resources to a third party provider. Historically we used internal personnel and the third party provider to maintain and monitor our accounting software on our internal systems. We do not believe the transfer will have an impact on our evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings

We may engage in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters and our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be affected in any particular period.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 29, 2012. The risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently

known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
A decline in the U.S. government defense budget, changes in spending or budgetary priorities, prolonged U.S. government shutdown or delays in contract awards may significantly and adversely affect our future revenues, cash flow and financial results. The Budget Control Act of 2011 enacted 10-year discretionary spending caps which are expected to generate over $1 trillion in savings for the U.S. government, a substantial portion of which comes from Department of Defense baseline spending reductions. In addition, additional automatic spending cuts (referred to as sequestration) totaling $1.2 trillion over 10 years have begun to be implemented in the U.S. Government fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. These reduction targets will further reduce Department of Defense and other federal agency budgets. The Office of Management and Budget provided guidance to agencies and departments on implementing the sequestration cuts for government fiscal year 2013. However, there remains much uncertainty about the level of cuts that will be required for government fiscal year 2014 and the impact those cuts will have on contractors supporting the government. In light of the current uncertainty, we are not able to predict the potential impact of sequestration on our Company or our financial results. However, we expect that implementation of further automatic spending cuts in government fiscal year 2014 will reduce, delay or cancel funding for certain of our contracts and programs, and could adversely impact our operations and financial results.
The recent government shutdown and related matters could harm our business. In addition, Congress failed to approve an interim or full-year budget before the U.S. Government’s fiscal year ended on September 30, 2013, which resulted in a shutdown of non-essential government services. Subsequently, a continuing resolution was passed to fund the government through January 15, 2014 and raise the federal debt ceiling to permit the U.S. government to borrow funds through February 7, 2014. If Congress does not approve a FY 2014 budget and a second continuing resolution is not approved by that date, the government may again shut down. The recent and ongoing effects of the U.S. government shutdown, as well as current uncertainty regarding the federal budget and federal spending levels, including the possible impacts of a failure to increase the “debt ceiling,” could disrupt our business. The impacts to our business on account of a prolonged government shutdown or failure to increase the debt ceiling are uncertain at this time, but potential impacts include delay in payments owed to us by the U.S. government, loss of revenue and profit on contracts that did not have government funding in place before September 30, 2013 or otherwise could not be performed by us during the government shutdown, disruption in our subcontractors’ business that may impact our performance on contracts and other impacts, any of which could adversely affect our operations, cash flow and financial results.
Customer demands and new regulations related to conflict-free minerals may adversely affect us. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) imposes new disclosure requirements regarding the use of “conflict” minerals mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries in products, whether or not these products are manufactured by third parties. These new requirements could affect the pricing, sourcing and availability of minerals used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices (including our products). There will be additional costs associated with complying with the disclosure requirements, such as costs related to determining the source of any conflict minerals used in our products. Our supply chain is complex and we may be unable to verify the origins for all metals used in our products. We purchase materials from foreign sources and they may not cooperate and provide us with the necessary information to allow us to comply with the Act. This may require us to find alternative sources which could delay product shipments. We may also encounter challenges with our customers and stockholders if we are unable to certify that our products are conflict free.
