Revenue Recognition
Substantially all the Company’s product and license and other revenues are derived from the sales of components and subassemblies and the license of intellectual property for use in defense and industrial applications. The Company also has development contracts for the design, manufacture and or modification of products for the U.S. Government or prime contractors for the U.S. Government and for customers that expect to sell into the defense markets. The Company may offer technologies developed under these defense research and development contracts in products sold to industrial, medical and consumer markets. The Company’s contracts with the U.S. Government are typically subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”) and are priced based on estimated or actual costs of producing goods. The FAR provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods provided under U.S. Government contracts. The pricing for non-U.S. Government contracts is based on the specific negotiations with each customer.
In accordance with ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised products, and the amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these products and excludes taxes collected from customers which are subsequently remitted to government authorities. Pursuant to the contract terms, shipping and handling activities occur prior to the transfer of control of the Company’s products to customers and are therefore accounted for as fulfillment costs rather than as a separate performance obligation.
The Company applies the following five steps to guide revenue recognition:
| 1) | Identify the contract(s) with a customer—A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the products to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to those products, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for products that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company’s contracts are typically in the form of a purchase order. For certain large customers, the Company may also enter into master service agreements that define general terms but are not customer commitments to purchase until coupled with a purchase order. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer. |
| 2) | Identify the performance obligations in the contract—Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the products and services that will be transferred. A product or service is distinct if both a) the customer can benefit from the product or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and b) is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised products or services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether the products or services meet the criteria to be distinct. If these criteria are not met the promised products or services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. |
| 3) | Determine the transaction price—The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring products to the customer. The Company historically does not have contracts with variable consideration but to the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. |
| 9 |
| 4) | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract—If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. The Company’s contracts do not typically contain multiple performance obligations that require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative Stand-alone Sales Price (“SSP”). | |
| 5) | Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation—The Company satisfies performance obligations either over time or at a point in time as discussed in further detail below. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised product or service to a customer. |
Product Revenues
For certain contracts with prime contractors for the U.S. Government, the Company recognizes product revenue over time as the Company performs because of continuous transfer of control to the customer and the lack of an alternative use for the product. The continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by liability clauses in the contract that allow the U.S. Government to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay the Company for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process and finished goods.
In situations where control transfers over time, product revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The Company uses the cost-to-cost input method to measure the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation for its contracts because the Company believes it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer. Under the cost-to-cost input method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation which includes the expected yield which is a significant judgment. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.
For certain contracts with prime contractors for the U.S. Government and commercial customers, while the contract may have a similar liability clause, the Company’s products historically have an alternative use and thus, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control. Provisions for product returns and allowances are reductions in the transaction price and are recorded in the same period as the related revenues. The Company analyzes historical returns, current economic trends and changes in customer demand when evaluating the adequacy of sales returns and other allowances.
Research & Development Contracts
For most of the Company’s development contracts and contracts with the U.S. Government, the customer contracts with the Company to provide a significant service of integrating a set of components into a single unit. Since these components are not capable of being distinct or distinct within the context of the contract, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. If there is a follow-on production contract it is assessed whether it is a contract modification or a new contract.
| 10 |
In situations where control transfers over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The Company generally uses an input method using the cost-to-cost approach to measure the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation for its contracts because the Company believes it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer. Under the cost-to-cost measure approach, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs, including material, labor and overhead. at completion of the performance obligation which requires management to use significant assumptions and judgements. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time for certain contracts because the related performance obligations are satisfied upon delivery and transfer of control to the customer.
The Company’s fixed-price contracts with the U.S. Government or other customers may result in revenue recognized in excess of amounts currently billed. The Company discloses the excess of revenues over amounts actually billed as Contract assets and unbilled receivables on the consolidated balance sheets. Amounts billed and due from the Company’s customers are classified as Accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. In some instances, the U.S. Government may retain a small portion of the contract price until completion of the contract. For contracts with the U.S. Government and some commercial customers, the Company typically receives payments either as work progresses or by achieving certain milestones or based on a schedule in the contract. The Company recognizes a liability for these advance payments in excess of revenue recognized and present it as Contract liabilities and billings in excess of revenue earned on the consolidated balance sheets. Advanced payments typically are not considered a significant financing component because it is used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a contract and to protect the Company from the other party failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract. For industrial and consumer purchase orders, the Company typically receives payments within 30 to 60 days of shipment of the product, although for some purchase orders, the Company may require an advanced payment prior to shipment of the product.
License and other revenues
The rights and benefits to the Company’s intellectual property are conveyed to certain customers through royalty-bearing technology license agreements. These sales-based royalties are recognized when they are earned. Revenues from sales-based royalties under license agreements are shown under License and other revenues on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Contract Assets
Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized from customer arrangements, including licensing, exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Contract assets are generally classified as current. The Company classifies the noncurrent portion of contract assets under Other assets in its consolidated balance sheets.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized for the contract.
Performance Obligations
The Company’s revenue recognition related to performance obligations that were satisfied at a point in time and over time for our contracts accounted for in accordance with ASC 606 were as follows:
SCHEDULE OF SATISFACTION OF PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS
| Fiscal year ended | Three months ended March 28, 2026 | Three months ended March 29, 2025 | ||||||
| Point in time | % | % | ||||||
| Over time | % | % | ||||||
The
value of remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of orders for which work has not been performed and excludes
unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts. As of March 28, 2026, the aggregate amount of the transaction
price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $
| 11 |
Government Grants
The Company accounts for government grants which are not considered exchange transactions in accordance with ASC 832, Government Assistance (“ASC 832”). These grants generally provide the Company with payments for certain types of expenditures in return for research and development activities. The Company recognizes the government grant as grant revenue in the consolidated statement of operations, as the grants relate to improving the design of an already existing product that the Company regularly sells to other customers. Such amounts are recognized on a systematic basis in proportion with the related qualifying costs incurred, applying judgment to determine when grant conditions are met and when grant proceeds are no longer subject to clawback or performance uncertainty. Proceeds received before recognition of the related grant revenues are recorded as deferred grant income within Other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Grant contract assets include unbilled amounts resulting from recognized grant revenues in excess of billings. Grant contract assets are generally classified as current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Costs associated with such grants are recorded as a component of funded research and development expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Collaborative Arrangements
At the inception of an agreement, the Company evaluates if an agreement is a collaborative arrangement within the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”). For collaborative arrangements that fall within the scope of ASC 808, the Company first determines which elements of the collaboration are deemed to be a performance obligation with a customer within the scope of ASC 606. For elements of collaboration arrangements that are accounted for pursuant to ASC 808 and are subject to the guidance in ASC 606, the Company applies the revenue recognition model under ASC 606 or other guidance, as deemed appropriate. The Company generally recognizes proceeds under collaborative arrangements within the scope of ASC 808 using a cost-to-cost methodology consistent with the underlying project economics within Collaboration revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Proceeds received before recognition of the related collaboration revenues are recorded as deferred collaboration income within Other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Costs associated with such arrangements are recorded as a component of funded research and development expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
2. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities (“PBEs”). The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for all PBEs for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-6”). ASU 2025-06 changes the accounting for internal-use software under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40. ASU 2025-06 clarifies when to begin capitalizing costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

4. 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.

Equity Investments- Measurement Alternative
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
March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, the carrying value of these equity investments was $

After payment of such liquidation preferences, holders of common stock receive the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders.
Conversion—
The holders of the preferred stock may elect to convert shares of preferred stock into common stock at any time. Upon a holder’s election, each share of preferred stock shall be converted into such number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient of (a) the sum of (i) the purchase price per share and (ii) the accrued dividends on such share as of the conversion date, divided by (b) the optional conversion price in effect at the time of conversion, which is originally set at $3.00, adjustable for certain dilutive events.

14. SEGMENTS AND DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined that it operates in one operating segment and one reportable segment, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance.
The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources and make operating decisions based on revenues, loss from operations, and net loss that are reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These metrics are also used to monitor budget versus actual results. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets. Revenues, expenses, and assets requiring disclosure in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, are also included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 and the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, for details.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to the possibility of loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. Management considers the likelihood of loss related to an asset, or the incurrence of a liability, as well as its ability to reasonably estimate the amount of the loss, in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that an asset has been impaired, or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted and whether new accruals are required.
16. LITIGATION
The Company may engage in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain, and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters and the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be affected in any particular period. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, an accrual will be established for legal proceedings if and when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable.

The following discussion of comparative results of operations among periods should be viewed in this context.

Revenues. For the three months ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, our revenues by display application, which include product sales and amounts earned from research and development contracts (“R&D”), were as follows:
| (In thousands) | Three Months Ended March 28, 2026 | Three Months Ended March 29, 2025 | ||||||
| Defense | $ | 5,310 | $ | 8,461 | ||||
| Industrial | 64 | 392 | ||||||
| Medical | — | 359 | ||||||
| Consumer and other product | 50 | 17 | ||||||
| Net product revenues | 5,424 | 9,229 | ||||||
| R&D | 1,290 | 1,237 | ||||||
| License and royalties | 65 | 72 | ||||||
| ASC 606 revenues | 6,779 | 10,538 | ||||||
| Grant | 3,442 | — | ||||||
| Collaboration | 330 | — | ||||||
| Non ASC 606 revenues | 3,772 | — | ||||||
| Total Revenues | $ | 10,551 | $ | 10,538 | ||||
Sales of our products for Defense applications include systems used by the military both in the field and for training and simulation. Sales of our products for Defense applications may be for a one-time purchase or for programs that run for several years. Revenues from product sales to defense customers decreased in the three months ended March 28, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 29, 2025, primarily due to lower production volumes of our products for thermal weapon sight applications and liquid crystal displays.
Industrial applications revenues represent customers who purchase our display products for use in headsets used for manufacturing, distribution, public safety, 3D metrology equipment and other industrial applications. Our 3D metrology customers are primarily located in Asia, and they sell to Asia-based contract manufacturers who use the 3D metrology machines for quality control purposes. The industrial applications market has seen new entrants over the last few years, which has led to increased price competition. We have introduced lower priced products in 2025 to compete with our competitors, but we expect this trend will continue and hence we are focusing our product and selling efforts on other more attractive market segments.
Sales of our displays for Consumer applications are primarily for use in thermal imaging products, recreational rifle and hand-held scopes.
R&D revenues increased slightly in the three months ended March 28, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 29, 2025 primarily due to the timing of both starts of new programs and completion of our existing programs. This variance falls within the normal ebb and flow of funded programs. These contracts typically reimburse us for direct costs and allocated overhead and selling, general and administrative costs and in some cases profit.
The slight decrease in license and royalty revenue in the three months ended March 28, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 29, 2025 is due to a decrease in royalties earned under IP license agreements for industrial wearable headsets.
Grant revenues increased in the three months ended March 28, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 29, 2025 in connection with the Company’s government grant, in the fourth quarter of 2025, for the development of ultra-bright, full color MicroLED displays optimized for ground soldier augmented reality applications.
Collaboration revenues increased in the three months ended March 28, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 29, 2025 as a result of the Company’s strategic partnership, in the fourth quarter of 2025, to develop the next generation clip on with augmented reality and thermal integration capabilities based on the Company’s micro-display technology.
| 29 |
Cost of Product Revenues. Cost of product revenues, which is comprised of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead related to the production of our products for the three months ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 were as follows:
| Three Months Ended | Three Months Ended | |||||||
| (In thousands, except for percentages) | March 28, 2026 | March 29, 2025 | ||||||
| Cost of product revenues | $ | 5,609 | $ | 7,629 | ||||
| Cost of product revenues as a % of net product revenues | 103 | % | 83 | % | ||||
The increase in cost of product revenues as a percentage of net product revenues for the three months ended March 28, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 29, 2025, was primarily attributable to reduced production efficiency and lower production volume. The Company believes the negative 3% product gross margin for the three months ended March 28, 2026 was an uncommon occurrence related to events in the quarter that we do not expect to reoccur. The Company expects a combination of customer price increases on follow-on customer purchase orders and improvements in production efficiency will result in positive product margins in future periods.
Research and Development. R&D expenses are incurred in support of internal display development programs and programs funded by agencies or prime contractors of the U.S. Government and commercial partners. R&D costs include staffing, purchases of materials and laboratory supplies, circuit design costs, fabrication and packaging of display products, and overhead. In fiscal year 2026, we expect our R&D expenditures to be related to our display products, overlay weapon sights and OLED display technologies. R&D expenses for the three months ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 were as follows:
| Three Months Ended | Three Months Ended | |||||||
| (In thousands) | March 28, 2026 | March 29, 2025 | ||||||
| Funded | $ | 3,806 | $ | 639 | ||||
| Internal | 1,105 | 1,477 | ||||||
| Total research and development expense | $ | 4,911 | $ | 2,116 | ||||
Funded R&D expense for the three months ended March 29, 2026 increased as compared to the three months ended March 29, 2025 primarily due to the Company’s government grant for the development of ultra-bright, full color MicroLED displays optimized for ground soldier augmented reality applications. Funded R&D expense includes costs related to grant and collaboration income. Internal R&D expense decreased due to an increase in process improvements.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist of the expenses incurred by our sales and marketing personnel and related expenses, and administrative and general corporate expenses. SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 were as follows:
| Three Months Ended | Three Months Ended | |||||||
| (In thousands, except for percentages) | March 28, 2026 | March 29, 2025 | ||||||
| Selling, general and administration expense | $ | 6,017 | $ | 4,701 | ||||
| Selling, general and administration expense as a % of revenues | 57 | % | 45 | % | ||||
| 30 |
SG&A increased for the three months ended March 28, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 29, 2025 primarily due to increases in professional fees and accrued performance-based compensation.
Other Income, net. Other income, net, is primarily composed of interest income, foreign currency transactions, gains on fair value recording of investments and other non-operating income items. Other income, net, for the three months ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 were as follows:
| Three Months Ended | Three Months Ended | |||||||
| (In thousands) | March 28, 2026 | March 29, 2025 | ||||||
| Other income, net | $ | 2,292 | $ | 846 | ||||
During the three months ended March 28, 2026, we had a gain on an investment of approximately $2.3 million. During the three months ended March 29, 2025, we sold an investment for a gain of approximately $0.3 million and had interest income of approximately $0.4 million.
Tax Provision. We recorded a provision for income taxes of less than $0.1 million in the three months ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively.
Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $3.8 million during the three months ended March 28, 2026 compared to a net loss of $3.1 million during the three months ended March 29, 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, and marketable securities of $59.5 million and working capital of $25.6 million compared to $61.6 million and $33.6 million, respectively.
| Three Months Ended | Three Months Ended | |||||||
| March 28, 2026 | March 29, 2025 | |||||||
| Net cash used for operating activities | $ | (810,746 | ) | $ | (3,414,201 | ) | ||
| Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities | (1,301,349 | ) | 4,586,583 | |||||
| Net cash used in by financing activities | (29,167 | ) | — | |||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | 1,052 | (588 | ) | |||||
| (Decrease) increase in cash and equivalents | $ | (2,140,210 | ) | $ | 1,171,794 | |||
For the three months ended March 28, 2026, cash used in operating activities consisted of a net loss from operations of $3.8 million and net cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $4.7 million, which were partially offset by non-cash charges totaling $1.8 million, which was primarily related to stock-based compensation, and depreciation. For the three months ended March 28, 2026, net cash used in investing activities in the amount of $1.3 million consisted of capital expenditures. For the three months ended March 29, 2025 cash provided by investing activities was primarily related to net proceeds from the sale of marketable securities. We expect that net cash used for or provided by operating activities to fluctuate in future periods as a result of a number of factors, including fluctuations in our operating results, the timing of when we recognize revenue, and changes in components of working capital. Our cash and cash equivalents and liquidity could be adversely affected by any amounts that become payable in connection with any adverse results from any litigation we are, or may become, involved in.
| 31 |
Equity offerings
On September 29, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for a private investment in public equity financing (the “PIPE”) for 19,545,950 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”). The net proceeds to the Company from the offering were approximately $38.1 million, after deducting placement agent fees and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The transaction was consummated on September 30, 2025.
On October 16, 2025, the Company completed a $15 million strategic investment with Theon Under the terms of the Agreements, Theon acquired a 49% interest in Kopin’s subsidiary, Kopin Europe Ltd. for $8.0 million and the parties entered into a licensing and development agreement and funding agreements relating to the joint development of military products. In addition, Theon purchased $7.0 million worth of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”). Each share of the Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at an initial fixed conversion price of $3.00 per share, pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Certificate of Designations”). The Company will have the ability to force the conversion of the preferred stock into common stock once the Company’s common stock trades at $5.50 per share or higher for 10 Trading Days (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) within a 30 consecutive Trading Day period. The Preferred Stock will carry an annual dividend of at the base rate dividend rate of 4%, 2% payable in cash and 2% payable in stock. With the close of this transaction, Kopin Europe Ltd. was deconsolidated from the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated statement of operations therefore includes nine months and sixteen days of activity related to Kopin Europe Ltd. The assets and liabilities of Kopin Europe Ltd. are no longer included within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Any discussions related to results, operations, and accounting policies associated with Kopin Europe Ltd. are referring to the current period through this transaction and prior periods as consolidated.
The following table presents the components of our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities held in U.S. dollars as of the dates presented:
| March 28, 2026 | December 27, 2025 | |||||||
| Domestic locations | $ | 59,486,936 | $ | 61,627,646 | ||||
| Foreign locations | — | — | ||||||
| Subtotal cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities held in U.S. dollars | 59,486,936 | 61,627,646 | ||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents held in other currencies and converted to U.S. dollars | — | — | ||||||
| Total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities | $ | 59,486,936 | $ | 61,627,646 | ||||
The domestic locations balance of $59.5 million and $61.6 million for the period ended March 28, 2026 and fiscal year ended 2025 includes $25.3 million of restricted cash that is not available for current operating use.
The manufacturing operations at our Korean facility, Kowon, have ceased and Kowon was liquidated at fiscal year ended 2018. We have recorded deferred tax liabilities for any additional withholding tax that may be due to the Korean government upon Kowon’s final tax return acceptance.
We expect to expend between $3.0 million and $5.0 million on capital expenditures in 2026.
We had a net loss of $3.8 million for the three months ended March 28, 2026 and a net loss of $3.1 million in fiscal year 2025, and net cash outflows used in operations of $0.8 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended March 28, 2026 and for the fiscal year ended 2025, respectively. Moreover, the Company has posted a bond to satisfy the court’s verdict of $19.7 million in damages and anticipated accrued interest in the matter of BlueRadios vs. Kopin Corporation, Inc. should the Company’s appeal be unsuccessful (refer to Note 16 of our consolidated financial statements for more information). As of March 28, 2026, the Company had $34.1 million of cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash), which the Company believes is sufficient to support its operations and satisfy its obligations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. We estimate we will have sufficient liquidity to fund operations into the third quarter of 2027. Nonetheless, we monitor the capital markets on an ongoing basis and may consider raising capital if favorable market conditions develop. If our actual results are less than projected or we need to raise capital for additional liquidity, we may be required to do additional equity financing, reduce expenses or enter into a strategic transaction. However, we can make no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital, reduce expenses sufficiently, or enter into a strategic transaction on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our critical accounting estimates are described in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We invest our excess cash in high-quality U.S. Government, government-backed (e.g., Fannie Mae, FDIC guaranteed bonds and certificates of deposit) and corporate debt 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 to our cash flows or income. It is possible that interest rate movements would increase our unrealized gain or loss on debt securities. We are exposed to the effects of exchange rates in the purchase of certain raw materials, which are in U.S. dollars, but the price on future purchases is subject to change based on the relationship of the Japanese yen to the U.S. dollar. We do not currently hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk. We estimate that any market risk associated with our international operations or investments is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation. Our portfolio of marketable securities is subject to interest rate risk and the credit rating of our investments may be affected by the underlying financial health of the guarantors of our investments. We use silicon wafers but do not enter into forward or futures hedging contracts to mitigate against risks related to the price of silicon.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 28, 2026, the Company conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 28, 2026, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods and that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of March 28, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 28, 2026 due to the following material weaknesses which were disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2025, and continue to exist as of March 28, 2026:
| 33 |
We identified control deficiencies, that when aggregated, constitute material weaknesses as follows:
| ● | Design and operating effectiveness of information technology general computer controls in the areas of user access and program change-management for certain information technology systems that are critical to capturing, processing, and reporting financial transactions. These ineffective information technology controls contributed to (i) improper segregation of duties among certain business process controls and (ii) ineffective data validation of spreadsheets and system-generated reports. | |
| ● | Management identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to the design and operation of controls over the period-end financial reporting and disclosure process. Specifically, management did not design, implement, and maintain sufficiently precise review controls, including controls over the completeness and accuracy of information used in the operation of controls and the retention of evidence of review, to achieve timely, complete, and accurate accounting and disclosures in multiple financial statement areas, including prepaid expenses and other current assets, stockholders’ equity, share-based compensation, certain investments, and income taxes. | |
| ● | Management did not design and implement certain business process controls related to the revenue cycle, including appropriate controls over contract accounting reviews and completeness and accuracy of required disclosures. | |
| ● | Management did not design and implement certain business process controls related to the accounting evaluation of significant unusual transactions and completeness and accuracy of required disclosures. |
Remediation Activities
Management is actively engaged in the implementation of a remediation plan to implement measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting to remediate these material weaknesses with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 28, 2026, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company may engage in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain, and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters and our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be affected in any particular period.
BlueRadios, Inc. v. Kopin Corporation, Civil Action No. 16-02052-JLK (D. Col.):
On August 12, 2016, BlueRadios, Inc. (“BlueRadios”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, alleging that the Company breached a contract between it and BlueRadios concerning the design, development and commercialization micro-display products with embedded wireless technology referred to as “Golden-i,” breached the covenant of good faith and fair dealing associated with that contract, breached its fiduciary duty to BlueRadios, and misappropriated trade secrets owned by BlueRadios in violation of Colorado law (C.R.S. § 7-74-104(4)) and the Defend Trade Secrets Act (18 U.S.C. § 1836(b)(1)). BlueRadios further alleged that the Company was unjustly enriched by its alleged misconduct, BlueRadios is entitled to an accounting to determine the amount of profits obtained by the Company as a result of its alleged misconduct, and the inventorship on at least ten patents or patent applications owned by the Company need to be corrected to list BlueRadios’ employees as inventors and thereby list BlueRadios as co-assignees of the patents. BlueRadios seeks monetary, declaratory, and injunctive relief, including for alleged non-payment of engineering retainer fees.
On Monday, April 22, 2024, after a four-week trial, a jury verdict was entered finding for BlueRadios and awarding approximately $5.1 million in damages as well as recommending $19.7 million in disgorgement and exemplary damages. On May 22, 2024, the Company filed its Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law or in the alternative for a New Trial, as well as two submissions arguing that the disgorgement and exemplary damages should not be awarded. That same day, BlueRadios filed motions seeking a permanent injunction prohibiting Kopin from selling any products that incorporate BlueRadios’ trade secrets, over $10.8 million in pre-judgment interest, and over $10.2 million in attorneys’ fees and costs. Briefing on those issues concluded on June 26, 2024. On September 25, 2024, the Company filed a supplemental brief on issue preclusion arguing that BlueRadios’ claims were untimely because of findings of fact made in BlueRadios, Inc. v. Hamilton, Brook, Smith & Reynolds, P.C., No. 1:21-cv-10488-DJC, ECF 268 (D. Mass. Sept. 18, 2024). That supplemental briefing concluded on October 29, 2024.
On September 5, 2025, a post-trial order was entered in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado in the matter of BlueRadios, Inc. v. Kopin Corporation, Inc. finding for the plaintiff, BlueRadios, Inc. and awarding approximately $19.7 million in damages but denying a permanent injunction and prejudgment interest. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company had estimated and accrued $24.8 million in probable and reasonably estimable damages for this matter. As a result of the post-trial order, the Company reduced the accrual to $19.7 million and recognized a benefit of $5.1 million for the reduction in the accrual in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025.
On September 26, 2025, the Company and its lawyers entered into a Mutual Release agreement (the “Release”) in which accrued legal expenses in connection with the BlueRadios litigation were resolved. The release reduced unpaid accrued legal expenses by $3.3 million to $1.9 million as of September 27, 2025. The reduction in accrued legal fees is included within selling, general and administration in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025.
On October 2, 2025, the Company posted a supersedeas bond for $23.0 million which consisted of the $19.7 million judgement, legal expenses, and interest that would accrue over the expected term of the appeal. To post the bond the Company entered into loan agreements (the “Agreements”) with its bank which provides the bank with a security interest in the $23.0 million plus $1.15 million in fees for a total of $24.2 million the Company deposited with the bank. This $24.2 million is classified as Restricted Cash. The bank then issued a Letter of Credit (LOC) to a surety company who then issued the bond to the court. The Agreement provides for standard representations and warranties and allows the bank to use the $23.0 million to satisfy the LOC in the event the LOC is called.
On October 7, 2025, the Company filed an appeal for the $19.7 million judgement against the Company in connection with the BlueRadios litigation. As of December 27, 2025, the Company has accrued $19.7 million for the judgment within Accrued litigation liability and has accrued approximately $0.3 million in related interest within Other accrued liabilities.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business and financial results are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. As a result, the risks and uncertainties discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025, should be carefully considered. There have been no material changes in the assessment of our risk factors from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
We did not sell any securities during the three months ended March 28, 2026 that were not registered under the Securities Act.
Item 5. Other Information
Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements
During the quarter ended March 28, 2026, none of the Company’s directors or officers informed the Company of the adoption or termination of a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (each as defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K).

CERTIFICATION OF THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER PURSUANT TO SECTION 302
OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002
