Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The condensed consolidated financial statements of Kopin Corporation as of April 1, 2023 and for the three month periods ended April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022 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 31, 2022. 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 consolidated financial statements for the three months ended April 1, 2023 include the accounts of Kopin Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 26, 2022 include the accounts of Kopin Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and a majority owned 80% subsidiary, eMDT America Inc. (“eMDT”). Kopin acquired the remaining 20% of eMDT during the three months ended April 1, 2023. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 26, 2022 represents the 20% of the results of operations which is allocated to the shareholders of the equity interests not owned by the Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. 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. On January 5, 2023, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement and an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “LST Agreements”) with Lightning Silicon Technology, Inc. (“LST”). Pursuant to the LST Agreements, the Company issued a license to LST for certain technology associated with our Organic Light Emitting Technology, transferred in-process development contracts with two customers and accounts receivables that the Company had previously determined were not collectible. The technology license agreement provides for Kopin to transfer certain patents to LST if LST achieves certain milestones, however upon transfer Kopin will receive a license to the technology. To the extent LST makes improvements to the technology licensed from Kopin, Kopin will receive a license for these improvements for certain markets. Kopin is not obligated to provide any additional funding support to LST. As consideration for the transaction, the Company received 18,000,000 preferred shares in LST, which the Company determined had no fair value as of the transaction date or as of April 1, 2023. While these shares represent a 20.0% equity stake in LST, they do not provide the Company with voting rights to elect LST’s governance Board. The Company will also receive a royalty based on unit sales of products that utilize the technology licensed. Drs. John Fan, the Company’s former President and CEO and current Chairman of the Board, Boryeu Tsaur, a former Executive Vice President of the Company and Hong Choi, the Company’s former Chief Technology Officer terminated their employment with the Company and became investors in and members of the management team of LST. Dr. Fan is the Founder of LST. As a result of this transaction, in 2022 the Company wrote off the two operating lease assets associated with facilities used for the development of our organic light emitting diode (OLED) products. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to its involvement with LST is limited to the value of its investment in LST, which has a carrying value of $0 at April 1, 2023. On January 27, 2023, the Company sold 17,000,000 shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $0.99 per share for net proceeds of approximately $21.4 million. The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents, will be adequate to satisfy its current operating plans for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. 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.
