RISK FACTORS

This Form 10-Q report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industries in which Kopin operates, management’s beliefs, and assumptions made by management. In addition, other written or oral statements which constitute forward-looking statements may be made by or on behalf of Kopin. 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.

We have experienced a history of losses and have a significant accumulated deficit. Since inception, we have incurred significant net operating losses. As of September 28, 2002 we had an accumulated deficit of $89.9 million. We cannot assure you that we will achieve profitability in the future.

Our revenue and cash flow could be negatively affected by the loss of any of the few customers who account for a substantial portion of our revenues. A few customers account for a substantial portion of our revenues. In 2002, Conexant Systems merged their wireless division with Alpha Industries to create Skyworks Solutions, Inc. On a pro forma basis, assuming the merger occurred on January 1, 1999, sales of our HBT transistor wafers to Skyworks Solutions would have accounted for approximately 27%, 46%, and 49% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Sales to Mitsubishi Electric Company, Ltd. were 11% and 13% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, revenues from multiple contracts with various U.S. governmental agencies accounted for approximately 3%, 2%, and 7%, respectively, of our total revenues. We anticipate that sales of our HBT transistor wafers to Skyworks Solutions will continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues for the near future. However, we typically negotiate terms for the sale of our HBT transistor wafers to Skyworks Solutions for the subsequent 12 month period, commencing each September and as of November 2002 we had not finalized an agreement with Skyworks Solutions relating to the sale of our HBT transistor wafers for the next 12 months. One of the issues to be resolved in our negotiations with Skyworks Solutions is their desire to find a second source for HBT transistor wafers. We believe that historically we provide the vast majority of HBT transistor wafers to both Alpha Industries and Conexant Systems. Accordingly our negotiations could result in Kopin supplying a smaller percentage of Skywork Solutions HBT transitor wafer requirements. A failure to reach an agreement with Skyworks Solutions or a delay in orders from Skyworks Solutions or any of our other significant customers would materially reduce our revenue and cash flow and adversely affect our ability to achieve profitability.

If we are unable to significantly increase our CyberDisplay production capacity and reduce our CyberDisplay production costs, our business will suffer. Our CyberDisplay product line currently has significant fixed costs and our ability to achieve profitability in that product line depends upon achieving significant sales volumes and higher gross profit margins. We have limited experience manufacturing display products and have only recently produced our CyberDisplay products at volumes necessary to achieve profitability. If we are unable to maintain our CyberDisplay production levels and reduce manufacturing costs, we may lose customer orders and our display business will become unprofitable.

Our CyberDisplay products may not be widely accepted by the market. Our success will in large part depend on the widespread adoption of the viewing format of our CyberDisplay products. Our success also depends upon the widespread consumer acceptance of our customers’ products. Potential customers may be reluctant to adopt our CyberDisplay products because of concerns surrounding perceived risks relating to:

The introduction of our display technology generally;

Consumer acceptance of our CyberDisplay products; and

The relative complexity, reliability, usefulness and cost-effectiveness of our display products compared to other display products available in the market or that may be developed by our competitors.

In addition, our customers may be reluctant to rely upon a relatively small company such as Kopin for a critical component. We cannot assure you that prospective customers will adopt our CyberDisplay products or that consumers will accept our CyberDisplay products. If we fail to achieve market acceptance of our CyberDisplay products, our business may not be successful and the value of your investment in Kopin may decline.

Our success depends on the growth and evolution of the wireless and fiber optic communications markets. Sales of products for wireless and fiber optic communications applications constitute a significant portion of our current and projected product revenues and cash flows. We are dependent on customer orders for these products for wireless and fiber optic communications applications, which in turn depend on the current and anticipated market demand for wireless and fiber optic communications in general. For the year ended December 31, 2001, product revenues from the sale of our III-V products declined compared to the prior year as a result of worldwide inventory accumulation in the supply chain of wireless and fiber optic communications products and related components. The deferral or cancellation of customer orders due to excessive inventory or lack of demand will adversely impact our results of operations.

In addition, the implementation of higher bandwidth infrastructure will be needed to drive the development of the next generation of wireless communications services. These developments include data oriented services, such as Internet browsing capabilities and the ability to view e-mail and other information that should increase the demand for our products. Our future success will depend in large part on the widespread adoption of this infrastructure and the cost-effectiveness of these services to the consumer.

We generally do not have long-term contracts with our customers, which makes forecasting our revenues and operating results difficult. We generally do not enter into agreements with our customers obligating them to purchase our products. Our business is characterized by short-term purchase orders and shipment schedules and we generally permit orders to be canceled or rescheduled without significant penalty. As a result, our customers may cease purchasing our products at any time, which makes forecasting our revenues difficult. In addition, due to the absence of substantial non-cancelable backlog, we typically plan our production and inventory levels based on internal forecasts of customer demand, which are highly unpredictable and can fluctuate substantially. Our operating results are difficult to forecast because we are continuing to invest in capital equipment and increasing our operating expenses for new product development. If we fail to accurately forecast our revenues and operating results, our business may not be successful and the value of your investment in Kopin may decline.

Potential fluctuations in operating results make financial forecasting difficult and could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Our quarterly and annual revenues and operating results may fluctuate significantly for several reasons including:

The timing and successful introduction of additional manufacturing capacity;

The timing of the initial selection of our III-V and CyberDisplay products as a component in our customers’ new products;

Availability of interface electronics for our CyberDisplay products supplied by Motorola and other vendors.

Competitive pressures on selling prices of our products;

The timing and cancellation of customer orders;

Our ability to introduce new products and technologies on a timely basis;

Our ability to successfully reduce costs;

The cancellation of U.S. government contracts; and

Our ability to secure agreements from our major customers for the purchase of our products.

We typically plan our production and inventory levels based on internal forecasts of customer demand, which are highly unpredictable and can fluctuate substantially. Our operating results are difficult to forecast because we are continuing to invest in capital equipment and increasing our operating expenses for new product development.

As a result of these and other factors, you should not rely on our revenues and our operating results for any one quarter or year as an indication of our future revenues or operating results. If our quarterly revenues or results of operations fall below expectations of investors or public market analysts, the price of our common stock could fall substantially.

Disruptions of our production of our III-V products would adversely affect our operating results. If we were to experience any significant disruption in the operation of our facilities, we would be unable to supply III-V products to our customers. Our manufacturing processes are highly complex and customer specifications are extremely precise. We periodically modify our processes in an effort to improve yields and product performance and to meet particular customer requirements. Process changes or other problems that occur in the complex manufacturing process can result in interruptions in production or significantly reduced yields. Additionally, as we introduce new equipment into our manufacturing processes, our III-V products

could be subject to especially wide variations in manufacturing yields and efficiency. We may experience manufacturing problems that would result in delays in product introduction and delivery or yield fluctuations. We are also subject to the risks associated with the shortage of raw materials used in the manufacture of our products.

Our ability to manufacture and distribute our CyberDisplay products would be severely limited if the third party that we rely on to manufacture integrated circuits for our CyberDisplay products fails to provide those services. We depend on United Microelectronics Corporation, or UMC, for the fabrication of integrated circuits for our CyberDisplay products. We have no long-term contracts with UMC. If UMC were to terminate its arrangement with us or become unable to provide the required capacity and quality on a timely basis, we would be able to manufacture and ship our CyberDisplay products only in limited quantities until replacement foundry services could be obtained. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we would be able to establish alternative manufacturing and packaging relationships on acceptable terms.

Our reliance on UMC involves certain risks, including:

The lack of control over production capacity and delivery schedules;

Limited control over quality assurance, manufacturing yields and production costs; and

The risks associated with international commerce, including unexpected changes in legal and regulatory requirements, changes in tariffs and trade policies and political and economic instability.

UMC, as well as several other third parties with which we do business, is located in Taiwan. Due to the earthquake that occurred in Taiwan in 1999 and the typhoon that occurred in Taiwan in September 2001, many Taiwanese companies, including UMC, experienced related business interruptions. UMC has resumed normal operations; however, our business could suffer significantly if UMC’s operations were disrupted again for an extended period of time, due to natural disaster or political unrest.

We depend on third parties to provide integrated circuit chip sets and other critical raw materials for use with our CyberDisplay products. We do not manufacture the integrated circuit chip sets necessary for use with our CyberDisplay products. Instead, we rely on third party independent contractors for these integrated circuit chip sets and other critical raw materials. Motorola currently produces all integrated circuit chip sets used with our CyberDisplay products in camcorders. If Motorola or any other third party were unable or unwilling to supply these integrated circuit chip sets or other critical raw materials, we would be unable to sell our CyberDisplay products until a replacement supplier could be found. We cannot assure you that a replacement supplier could be found on reasonable terms or in a timely manner. In the three month period ended September 30, 2000, two of our vendors could not supply the quantity or quality of critical raw materials we needed. As a result, we were unable to meet customer demand and our manufacturing yield and gross margins were adversely affected. Any interruption in our ability to manufacture and distribute our CyberDisplay products could cause our display business to be unsuccessful and the value of your investment in Kopin may decline.

We may not be able to operate multiple manufacturing facilities successfully. A critical part of our business strategy is the expansion of our production capacity both internally and using third party manufacturers. We are establishing a second internal facility to manufacture our III-V products. We also are increasing our CyberDisplay product manufacturing capabilities at our Korean subsidiary, Kowon Technology (“Kowon”). In particular, we expect to increasingly rely upon Kowon for back-end packaging of our CyberDisplay products. If we are unable to significantly increase our manufacturing capacity at Kowon, we may be able to manufacture and ship our CyberDisplay products only in limited quantities until replacement foundry services could be obtained.

We are also considering the establishment of additional internal and third party manufacturing capabilities to produce both our III-V and CyberDisplay products. To date, we have operated only one facility for our III-V product line.

Our ability to successfully operate additional manufacturing sites will depend on a number of factors including:

The identification and availability of appropriate and affordable sites;

The management of facility construction and development timing and costs;

The transfer of our manufacturing techniques to additional sites, particularly Kowon;

The establishment of adequate management and information systems and financial controls; and

The adaptation of our complex manufacturing process in our additional sites.

Additionally, we cannot be sure that any new or expanded manufacturing facilities will have operating results similar to those of our current facilities. Any failure to effectively implement our expansion strategy would adversely impact our ability to grow our business.

Increased competition may result in decreased demand or prices for our products. Competition in the markets for our products is intense and we may not be able to compete successfully. We compete with several companies primarily engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and selling integrated circuits or alternative display technologies, as well as the supply of other discrete products. Our competitors could develop new process technologies that may be superior to ours, including technologies that target markets in which our products are sold. Many of our existing and potential competitors have strong market positions, considerable internal manufacturing capacity, established intellectual property rights and substantial technological capabilities. Furthermore, they also have greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing and personnel resources than we do, and we may not be able to compete successfully with them.

In addition, many of our existing and potential customers manufacture or assemble wireless communications devices and have substantial in-house technological capabilities and substantially greater resources than we do. We may not be able to sell our products to these customers and they may begin to commercialize their internal capabilities and become our competitors. If one of our large customers establishes internal design and manufacturing capabilities, it could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

We expect competition to increase. This could mean lower prices or reduced demand for our products. Any of these developments would have an adverse effect on our operating results.

If we fail to keep pace with changing technologies, we may lose customers. The advanced semiconductor materials and display industries are characterized by rapidly changing customer requirements and evolving technologies and industry standards. To achieve our goals, we need to enhance our existing products and develop and market new products that keep pace with continuing changes in industry standards and requirements and customer preferences. If we cannot keep pace with these changes, our business could suffer.

We may not be successful in protecting our intellectual property and proprietary rights. Our success depends in part on our ability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. We have obtained certain domestic and foreign patents and we intend to continue to seek patents on our inventions when appropriate. We also attempt to protect our proprietary information with contractual arrangements and under trade secret laws. Our employees and consultants generally enter into agreements containing provisions with respect to confidentiality and the assignment of rights to inventions made by them while in our employ. These measures may not adequately protect our intellectual and proprietary rights. Existing trade secret, trademark and copyright laws afford only limited protection and our patents could be invalidated or circumvented. Moreover, the laws of certain foreign countries in which our products are or may be manufactured or sold may not fully protect our intellectual property rights. Misappropriation of our technology and the costs of defending our intellectual property rights from misappropriation could substantially impair our business. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, our business may not be successful and the value of your investment in Kopin may decline.

Our products could infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. Our products could be found to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. Other companies may hold or obtain patents or inventions or other proprietary rights in technology necessary for our business. If we are forced to defend against infringement claims, we may face costly litigation, diversion of technical and management personnel, and product shipment delays, even if the allegations of infringement are unwarranted. If there is a successful claim of infringement against us and we are unable to develop non-infringing technology or license the infringed or similar technology on a timely basis, or if we are required to cease using one or more of our business or product names due to a successful trademark infringement claim against us, it could adversely affect our business.

Our business could suffer if we lose the services of, or fail to attract, key personnel. In order to continue to provide quality products in our rapidly changing business, we believe it is important to retain personnel with experience and expertise relevant to our business. Our success depends in large part upon a number of key management and technical employees. The loss of the services of one or more key employees, including John C.C. Fan, our President and Chief Executive Officer, could seriously impede our success. We do not maintain any “key-man” insurance policies on Dr. Fan or any other employees. In addition, due to the level of technical and marketing expertise necessary to support our existing and new customers, our success will depend upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled management, technical, and sales and marketing personnel. Competition for highly skilled personnel is intense and there may be only a limited number of persons with the requisite skills to serve in these positions. Due to lower III-V product revenues resulting from the current slowdown in the market for wireless and fiber optic communications products, we have taken certain cost reduction measures, including reducing our workforce, reducing

senior management pay and delaying salary increases. If the wireless and fiber optic communications markets experience an upturn, we may need to increase our workforce. Due to the competitive nature of the labor markets in which we operate, we may be unsuccessful in attracting and retaining these personnel. Our inability to attract and retain key personnel could adversely affect our ability to develop and manufacture our products.

We may be unable to grow at our historical growth rates or at all, and if we grow we may be unable to manage our growth effectively. In 1999 and 2000, we experienced significant growth in sales of our III-V and CyberDisplay products. We believe that the high growth rates of 1999 and 2000, driven principally by sales of our HBT Transistor wafers, was the result of the adoption of digital wireless handsets. Due to a significant slowdown in the wireless and fiber optic communication markets and other general economic conditions, our sales declined in 2001. In addition, we cannot assure you that our systems, procedures, controls and existing and planned space will be adequate to support our future operations. As a result of these concerns, we cannot be sure that we will grow, or, if we do grow, that we will be able to achieve our historical growth rate.

We may pursue acquisitions and investments that could adversely affect our business. In the past we have made, and in the future we may make, acquisitions of and investments in businesses, products and technologies that could complement or expand our business. If we identify an acquisition candidate, we may not be able to successfully negotiate or finance the acquisition or integrate the acquired businesses, products or technologies into our existing business and products. Future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, amortization expenses and write-downs of acquired assets.

We may incur significant liabilities if we fail to comply with stringent environmental regulations or if we did not comply with these regulations in the past. We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local governmental regulations related to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of toxic or otherwise hazardous chemicals used in our manufacturing process. Although we believe our activities conform to environmental regulations, the failure to comply with present or future regulations could result in fines being imposed on us, suspension of production, or, a cessation of operations. We cannot assure you that we have not, in the past, violated applicable laws or regulations which could result in required remediation or other liabilities.

You should not expect to receive dividends from us. We have not paid cash dividends in the past, nor do we expect to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that earnings, if any, will be retained for the development of our businesses.

Our stock price may be volatile in the future. The trading price of our common stock has been subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in results of operations, announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors, general conditions in the wireless communications, semiconductor and display markets, changes in earnings estimates by analysts or other events or factors. In addition, the public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volatility in recent months. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many technology companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001 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. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Effective January 1, 2002 Kopin Corporation (“the Company”) recorded the cumulative effect of an accounting change resulting from the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No.142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 0-19882) for the year ended December 31, 2001.

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.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and Kowon Technology Co., Ltd. (“Kowon”), a majority owned (67%) subsidiary located in Korea. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars at period end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses at rates prevailing during the quarter. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss and aggregate $379,730 of unrealized gain at September 28, 2002. Transaction gains or losses are recognized in income or loss currently.

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. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury method. Potential common shares consist of outstanding options issued under the Company’s stock option plans, and have not been included in any periods where the effect would be anti-dilutive.

INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out method) or market and consists of the following:

	September 28, 2002		December 31, 2001
Raw Materials	$	3,614,518	$	7,583,247
Work in Progress		1,779,685		900,889
Finished Goods		429,441		229,604

Total Inventory	$	5,823,644	$	8,713,740

OTHER CURRENT AND NON-CURRENT ASSETS

Other assets consist primarily of marketable and non-marketable securities in various companies. Non-marketable equity securities are carried at cost and aggregated $4,119,000 and $3,890,000 at September 28, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company exchanged its interest in Kendin Communications, Inc. (Kendin) for 986,054 shares of Micrel Incorporated (Micrel) common stock, as part of Micrel ‘s acquisition of Kendin, and recorded a net gain of approximately $24,600,000 on the exchange. On the date of the exchange the closing price of Micrel’s common stock was $29.31. Also during the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company recognized a write-down of $5,667,000 of certain non marketable securities as a result of an other than temporary decline in their value. The net gain related to these transactions of approximately

$20,900,000 is included in interest and other income in the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 29, 2001.

During the quarter ended June 29, 2002, as the result of the lapse of a contingency period related to the sale of Kendin, the Company received 115,448 shares of Micrel common stock which were previously held in escrow. During the quarter the Company sold 249,448 shares of Micrel and recognized a net loss of approximately $100,000 on these transactions.

Since the receipt of the Micrel shares, the Company has accounted for its investment in Micrel common stock as available-for-sale securities and changes in the value of the Micrel investment have been reflected in Other Comprehensive Income. On September 28, 2002 the closing price of Micrel’s common stock was $6.16. As a result of the decline in the price of Micrel common stock the Company has continued to monitor the valuation of its Micrel investment and if the valuation does not recover, an other than temporary impairment is required to be recognized in the Statement of Operations. As of September 28, 2002 the Company held approximately 652,000 shares of Micrel common stock.

Non-current marketable securities, which consist primarily of the Company’s investment in the common stock of Micrel, are carried at fair-value. The fair-value of non-current marketable securities was $4,017,000 at September 28, 2002. Gross unrecognized losses on non-current marketable securities were $15,095,000 at September 28, 2002.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This statement changed the accounting for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets from an amortization approach to an impairment-only approach. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company recorded a transitional goodwill impairment charge of $12,582,383, which is presented as a cumulative effect of accounting change in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company estimated the fair value of the impacted reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model.

Effective with the adoption of SFAS No. 142 goodwill amortization was discontinued. Goodwill amortization for periods prior to January 1, 2002 is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The following tables reconcile net income (loss) and per share results adjusted for the implementation of SFAS No. 142 for all periods presented:

	Three months ended					Nine months ended

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which became effective in 2002. SFAS No. 144 establishes standards for accounting for impairment of long-lived assets used by an entity or held for sale, and provides guidance on developing estimates of cash flows and fair values used in measuring impairments.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities, which includes costs relating to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and certain termination benefits provided to employees who are involuntarily terminated. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the implementation of this statement on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain of the statements contained in this Form 10-Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. In addition to the risks and uncertainties set forth in this Form 10-Q, other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, without limitation, the following: general economic and business conditions and growth in the flat panel display and the gallium arsenide integrated circuit and materials industries, sales growth of the wireless handset industry, the successful introduction of our CyberLite product, the impact of competitive products and pricing, availability of integrated circuit fabrication facilities, cost and yields associated with the production of our products, availability of interface electronic chips to run our CyberDisplay products, loss of significant customers, acceptance of our products, continuation of strategic relationships, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and the risk factors and cautionary statements listed from time to time in the Company’s periodic reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

BUSINESS MATTERS

Kopin is a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced semiconductor materials and miniature flat panel displays. We use our proprietary technology to design, manufacture and market our III-V and CyberDisplay products for use in highly demanding commercial wireless communication and high resolution portable applications. Our products enable our customers to develop and market an improved generation of products for these target applications.

We have two principal components of revenues: product revenues and research and development revenues. Product revenues consist of sales of our III-V products, principally gallium arsenide (“GaAs”) HBT transistor wafers, and our line of CyberDisplay products. Our GaAs HBT transistor wafers and our CyberDisplay products are used primarily in wireless handsets and camcorders, respectively. For the nine month period ended September 28, 2002, we had product revenues of $58.7 million, or 97.3% of total revenues compared to $35.5 million, or 97.2% of total revenues for the same period in 2001.

Research and development revenues consist primarily of development contracts with agencies of the U.S. government for advanced displays. For the nine months ended September 28, 2002, research and development revenues were $1.6 million, or 2.7% of total revenues compared to $1.0 million, or 2.8% of total revenues for the same period in 2001.

Results of Operations

Revenues. Our total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002 were $21.9 million and $60.3 million, respectively, compared to $12.3 million and $36.5 million during the corresponding periods in 2001. This represents an increase in total revenues of approximately $9.6 million and $23.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002, respectively. Our product revenues were $21.2 million and $58.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002 compared to $12.0 million and $35.5 million for the corresponding periods in 2001, increases of approximately $9.2 million and $23.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 28, 2002, III-V and CyberDisplay product sales were $27.0 million and $31.7 million, respectively, as compared to $20.2 million and $15.2 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 29, 2001. Research and development revenues for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002 were $.7 million and $1.6 million compared to $.3 million and $1.0 million for the corresponding periods in 2001. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002, the increase in III-V product revenues is attributable to increased demand from customers who incorporate our GaAs HBT transistor wafers into components used in wireless handsets and the increase in CyberDisplay product sales is a result of additional design wins from new camcorder customers and increased penetration into the product lines of existing camcorder customers.

Skyworks Solutions is our largest III-V customer. Sales to Skyworks Solutions represented 27% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001. We typically negotiate terms for the sale of our HBT transistor wafers to Skyworks Solutions for the subsequent 12 month period commencing in each September. As of November 2002 we had not finalized an agreement with Skyworks for the next 12 months. A failure to reach an agreement with Skyworks Solutions would materially reduce our revenue, cash flow and earnings.

International sales represented 55% and 57% of revenues for the nine months ended September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001, respectively. International sales are primarily sales of CyberDisplay products to consumer electronic manufacturers primarily located in Japan and Korea. 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, sales of our CyberDisplay products in Korea are transacted through our Korean subsidiary, Kowon. Kowon’s sales are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, however Kowon’s operating costs are denominated in Korean won. As a result, our financial position and results of operation are subject to exchange rate fluctuation. We have not taken any protective measures against exchange rate fluctuations, such as purchasing hedging instruments with respect to such fluctuations, because of the relatively stable exchange rate between the Japanese yen, Korean won and the U. S. dollar.

Cost of Product Revenues. Cost of product revenues, which is comprised of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead related to our products, was $15.4 million and $45.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002 compared to $15.8 million and $47.4 million during the corresponding periods in 2001. For the nine months ended September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001, cost of product revenues as a percentage of product sales was 77.4% and 133.8%, respectively. The decrease in cost of product revenues as a percentage of sales for the nine month period ended September 28, 2002 as compared to the nine month period ended September 29, 2001 was primarily the result of fixed costs being leveraged over a higher sales volume, lower raw materials cost, and increased yields in CyberDisplay production, partially as a result of a design change in the display.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses (R&D) are incurred under development programs for III-V products, CyberDisplay products and other products and in support of development programs funded by agencies of the U.S. government. Included within our III-V products is our new CyberLite blue light emitting diode. R&D costs include staffing, purchases of materials and laboratory supplies, equipment, circuit design costs, fabrication and packaging of display products, and overhead. Funded R&D expense was $.8 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002 compared to $.6 million and $1.7 million for the corresponding periods in the prior year, representing increases of $.2 million and $.9 million, respectively. Internal R&D expense was $2.9 million and $8.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002, respectively, compared to $3.1 million and $9.4 million during the corresponding periods in 2001.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses (S,G&A) consist of the expenses incurred by our sales and marketing personnel and related expenses, and administrative and general corporate expenses. S,G&A was $2.5 million and $8.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002 as compared to $3.1 million and $11.9 million during the corresponding periods in 2001. The reduction in S,G&A expense from the corresponding nine month period in the prior year is principally the result of discontinuing goodwill amortization of approximately $1.6 million, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, and lower legal and patent maintenance fees of $.9 million and bad debt expenses of $1.0 million.

Other. Other expenses, consisting primarily of amortization of patents were approximately $.1 million and $.2 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2002, respectively, compared to approximately $.1 million and $.3 million during the corresponding periods in 2001. The year to year decrease is due to a reduction in amortization expense.

Other Income and Expenses. Other income and expense net, was $.7 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002 compared to $1.4 million and $24.1 million during the corresponding periods in 2001. Included in the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002 were approximately $56,500 and $240,000 of foreign exchange gains and losses, respectively, resulting from our Korean subsidiary, Kowon. During the three month period ended June 30, 2001 we exchanged our interest in Kendin Communications, Inc. (Kendin) for shares of Micrel, Incorporated (Micrel) as a result of Micrel’s acquisition of Kendin. At the date of the exchange the closing price of Micrel’s common stock was $29.31 and we recorded a net gain of $20.9 million as a result of this exchange and the write-down of certain investments due to an other than temporary decline in their value during the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Also included in Other Income and Expense for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002 is our share of the net losses of our equity investment.

Since the receipt of Micrel shares, the Company has accounted for its investment in Micrel common as available-for-sale securities and changes in the value of the Micrel investment have been reflected in Other Comprehensive Income. On September 28, 2002 the closing price of Micrel’s common stock was $6.16. As a result of the decline in the price of Micrel common stock the Company has continued to monitor the valuation of its Micrel investment and if the valuation does not recover, an other than temporary impairment may be recognized in the Statement of Operations. As of September 28, 2002 the Company held approximately 652,000 shares of Micrel common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily through public and private placements of our equity securities, research and development contract revenues, and sales of our III-V and CyberDisplay products. We believe our available cash resources will support our operations and capital needs for at least the next twelve months.

As of September 28, 2002, we had cash and equivalents and marketable securities of $118.3 million and working capital of $113.0 million compared to $104.4 million and $106.4 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2001. During the nine month period ended September 28, 2002 the increase in cash and equivalents and marketable securities was primarily due to cash provided from operations of $12.0 million, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.2 million and the sale of other investments of $3.8 million, offset by capital and investment expenditures of $3.4 million.

We lease facilities located in Taunton and Westborough, Massachusetts, Scotts Valley, California, and Columbia, Maryland, under non-cancelable operating leases. The Taunton leases expire through May 2010. The Westborough lease expires in October 2003. The Scotts Valley lease expires in 2007. The Maryland lease expires in 2005. We are currently obligated to make lease payments of approximately $4.0 million over the remaining terms of these leases, however we expect to enter into new leases during 2002 for the Westborough facility.

We expect to expend approximately $5.0 million on capital expenditures over the next twelve months, primarily for the acquisition of equipment relating to the production of our III-V, CyberDisplay and other products.

On October 9, 2002, the Company authorized the re-purchase of up to $15 million of Kopin Stock over a two year period. The Company has not repurchased any stock through September 28, 2002.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This statement changed the accounting for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets from an amortization approach to an impairment-only approach. In addition, SFAS No. 142 ceased the amortization of goodwill.

As of January 1, 2002, we had $12,582,383 of goodwill related to the October 2000 acquisition of Super Epitaxial Products, Inc. Using the SFAS No. 142 approach described above, we recorded a transitional goodwill impairment charge of $12,582,383, which is presented as a cumulative effect of accounting change in the consolidated statements of operations. The transitional impairment charge resulted from application of the new impairment methodology introduced by SFAS No. 142.

Effective January 1, 2002, goodwill amortization was discontinued. Goodwill amortization for periods prior to January 1, 2002 is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

In August 2001, the FASB released SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which became effective in 2002. SFAS No. 144 establishes standards for accounting for impairment of long-lived assets used by an entity or held for sale, and provides guidance on developing estimates of cash flows and fair values used in measuring impairments.

Item

3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We invest our excess cash in high quality government and corporate financial 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. Included in other assets is an equity investment in Micrel, Inc. (Micrel) totaling approximately $4,017,000 which is subject to declines in value because of either specific operating issues at Micrel or an overall decline in the stock market. We sell our products to customers worldwide. We maintain a reserve for potential credit losses. We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates primarily through our translation of our foreign subsidiary’s financial position and 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.

Item

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us (including our subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed our internal controls and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or to our knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect such internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
