The Company’s products are targeted towards the defense and industrial/enterprise wearable markets.

In addition, the Company’s current strategy is to continue to invest in research and development, even during unprofitable periods, which may result in the Company continuing to incur net losses and negative cash flows from operations. If the Company is unable to achieve and maintain positive cash flows and profitability in the foreseeable future, its financial condition may ultimately be materially adversely affected such that management may be required to reduce operating expenses, including investments in research and development, or raise additional capital. While there can be no assurance the Company will be able to successfully reduce operating expenses or raise additional capital, management believes its historical success in managing cash flows and obtaining capital will continue in the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred net losses of $13.2 million and $13.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 24, 2022 and for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021, respectively, and net cash outflows from operations of $15.6 million and $10.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 24, 2022 and for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021, respectively. The Company’s net cash outflows from operations were partially a result of funding its ongoing investments in research and development, which management believes will continue and production inefficiencies resulting from intermittent supply chain disruptions. These factors initially raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include operational improvements being implemented and the curtailment of certain development programs, both of which are expected to preserve cash. Management estimates the Company will have sufficient liquidity to fund operations at least through the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company has in the past sold equity securities through at-the-market equity offerings and in the traditional fashion of significant equity offerings. Nonetheless, management monitors the capital markets on an ongoing basis and may consider raising capital if favorable market conditions develop. If the Company’s actual results are less than projected or the Company needs to raise capital for additional liquidity, the Company may be required to do additional equity financings, reduce expenses, or enter into a strategic transaction. However, management can make no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital, reduce expenses sufficiently, or enter into a strategic transaction on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Kopin Corporation as of September 24, 2022 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021 are unaudited and include all adjustments that, 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 fiscal year ended December 25, 2021. 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. As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Kopin” and the “Company” mean Kopin Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning.

The Company’s products are targeted towards the defense and industrial/enterprise wearable markets. Management believes the industrial wearable market is still developing and cannot predict how long it will take to develop or if the Company’s products will be accepted. In addition, the Company’s current strategy is to continue to invest in research and development, even during unprofitable periods, which may result in the Company continuing to incur net losses and negative cash flows from operations. If the Company is unable to achieve and maintain positive cash flows and profitability in the foreseeable future, its financial condition may ultimately be materially adversely affected such that management may be required to reduce operating expenses, including investments in research and development, or raise additional capital. While there can be no assurance the Company will be able to successfully reduce operating expenses or raise additional capital, management believes its historical success in managing cash flows and obtaining capital will continue in the foreseeable future.

The Company has incurred net losses of $13.2 million and $13.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 24, 2022 and for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021, respectively, and net cash outflows from operations of $15.6 million and $10.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 24, 2022 and for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021, respectively.
