Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Accounting [Text Block] | 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, Intoware Ltd. (Intoware), a majority owned (58%) subsidiary located in the United Kingdom (formerly known as Ikanos Consulting Limited), and eMDT America Inc. (eMDT), a majority owned (80%) subsidiary located in California (collectively, the Company). Ownership interests of Kowon, Intoware 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 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013 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 28, 2013. The Company has a plan to close Kowon's facility, however as of September 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the sale of the facility does not meet the criteria for assets held for sale based on the anticipated time to sell the facility. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company paid approximately $0.3 million to acquire an additional 29% ownership in its eMDT subsidiary. 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 May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606). The reporting standard requires the Company to identify the performance obligations in a contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to each of the obligations and then recognizes the transaction price as the obligations are fulfilled. The standard also requires certain new disclosures. The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements. During the nine months ended September 27, 2014, the change in the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income was the net of $(0.4) million foreign currency translation adjustment and $0.4 million unrealized holding gains on marketable securities.
