FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | 3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 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. The Company’s Level 2 investments are based on a yield to maturity models and market interest rates. An investment is categorized as Level 3 if its fair value is based on unobservable inputs for the asset. The following table details the recurring fair value measurements of the Company’s financial assets: SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

Equity Investments Equity investments rarely traded or not quoted will generally have less (or no) pricing observability and a higher degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Initial measurement of equity investments occurs when an observable price for the equity investment is available. The Company adopted the measurement alternative for equity investments without readily determinable fair values, which is often referred to as cost method investments, adjusted for changes in observable market transaction. As a result, these investments are revalued upon occurrence of an observable price change for similar investments and for impairments. As of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the carrying value of these equity investments was $2.9 million. 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 its 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 common shares representing a 20.0% equity stake in LST. The Company has recorded its investment in LST at $0 as of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024. The Company receives a royalty based on unit sales of products that utilize the technology licensed. Royalty received to date has been de minimis. Drs. John Fan, the Company’s former President and CEO and former 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 the Company’s OLED products. The Company has an equity interest in a Lenovo New Vision which it acquired through purchasing capital and contributing certain intellectual property. As of June 28, 2025, the Company owned an approximate 10% interest in this investment and the carrying value of this equity investment was $1.5 million at June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024. The Company has an investment in RealWear Inc. (RealWear) which had been valued at $2.5 million. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company reviewed the financial condition and an observable price point in an equity transaction, and as a result, recorded impairment charges of $0.7 million. In the fourth quarter of 2024, RealWear entered into a merger agreement and based upon the information provided, in the third quarter of 2024, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.1 million, reducing the value of the investment to $0.7 million.
