Sales of our displays for Consumer applications are typically “one-off” purchases from companies or organizations using our products for research and development.
Current report
The decrease in license and royalty revenue in the first quarter ending March 29, 2025 compared to the first quarter ended March 20, 2024 is due to a decrease in royalties earned under IP license agreements for industrial wearable headsets.
Current report
The United States government is or is in the process of increasing or implementing tariffs on the importation of certain goods. In some cases, our contracts allow us to pass along new or increased tariffs subject to ability to prove the impact of the tariff on the cost of our product. If we are unable to increase our prices due to the implementation or increase in tariff, duties and other taxes our gross margin and overall profitability would be negatively impacted.
Current report
The issues associated with the global shortage of semiconductor circuit chips and other raw materials decreased in 2024 as compared to 2023 and 2022. However, we have identified several semiconductor components which continue to have long lead delivery times. We continue to search for and procure all necessary components from our current vendors and new alternative vendors. In certain situations, we can obtain the components but at a significantly increased cost. The inability to procure a single component will prevent the completion of our product and the ability to sell the product. Our products go through extensive qualification processes and therefore our customers may not accept a replacement component. We are unable to determine if we will be able to obtain all necessary components for fiscal 2025. If we are unable to obtain all necessary components, we may be required to stop production, which would negatively affect our cash flow and results of operations. In addition, we depend on a Taiwanese foundry for the manufacture of integrated circuits for our AMLCD display products and on Chinese, Korean, and European foundries for our OLED display products. If there was a disruption of supply from these foundries it would take a significant period of time to identify, and qualify, if possible, a new source.

Previous report
Our displays for Consumer applications are used primarily in thermal imaging products in recreational rifles, first person viewers, and hand-held scopes. The decrease in Consumer applications revenues for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in sales for hand-held thermal viewers.
Previous report
During 2023, our manufacturing was impacted by a shortage of several semiconductor components from our normal vendors that are necessary to manufacture our products. For some components we were able to identify and use other sources for the components but for some components primarily used in defense related products, we were not able to avail ourselves of alternate components because their use would have required a requalification of our product by our customer. While the shortage of certain semiconductor components situation has improved, occasional disruptions do occur which may impact our ability to ship product.
Previous report

Sales of our products for Defense applications include systems used by the military both in the field and for training and simulation. The increase in Defense applications revenues in the three months ended September 28, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in revenues from products used in thermal weapon sights and to a lesser extent due to an increase in revenues from sales of products used in pilot helmets. The increase in Defense applications revenues in the nine months ended September 28, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in revenues from products used in thermal weapon sights partially offset by a decline in revenues from sales of products used in pilot helmets. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company plans on devoting production resources to provide units that customers have made warranty claims on, which may impact our fourth quarter revenues.

Previous wording
Industrial applications revenue represents customers who purchase our display products for use in 3D metrology equipment and headsets used for applications in manufacturing, distribution, and public safety. Our 3D metrology customers are primarily located in Asia and sell to Asian contract manufacturers who use the 3D metrology machines for quality control purposes. The increase in Industrial applications revenues for the three months ended September 28, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in sales of products for 3D metrology. The decrease in Industrial applications revenues for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in sales of products for 3D metrology.

Previous wording
R&D revenues decreased in the three months ended September 28, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to decreases in funding for U.S. defense programs. R&D revenues decreased in the nine months ended September 28, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to a decrease in funding for U.S. defense programs as certain programs were completed and customers are evaluating the results and certain programs transitioned to production programs. Included in R&D revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 is approximately $400,000 related to OLED development programs with a consumer customer.
Current wording
R&D revenues increased in the three months ended March 29, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024 primarily due to increases in funding for U.S. defense programs.
Previous wording
International revenues represented 5% and 7% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, respectively, and 6% and 12% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. We categorize our revenues as either domestic or international based upon the delivery destination of our product. For example, if the customer is located in Asia or if a U.S. customer has its Asian contract manufacturer order product from us and we deliver the product to Asia, then we categorize both of these sales as international. In addition, if we earn royalties on sales from a customer, the royalties are categorized as domestic or international based on how the product revenues are categorized. The decrease in international revenues was a result of a decrease in sales of our OLED products and our display products for 3D metrology applications. 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, which could lead to a reduction in sales or profitability in those foreign markets. We have not taken any protective measures against exchange rate fluctuations, such as purchasing hedging instruments with respect to such fluctuations, because of the historically stable exchange rate between the British Pound Sterling (the functional currency of our U.K. subsidiary) and the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency translation impact on our results, if material, is described in further detail under “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” section below.
Current wording
Our international revenues, which are primarily our sales of our products into the 3D AOI market and which comprise the majority of our Industrial sales category, represented 4% and 9% of total revenues for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively. These sales are primarily made by Kopin Europe, Ltd. our wholly-owned Scottish subsidiary into Asian markets. We have not taken any protective measures against exchange rate fluctuations, such as purchasing hedging instruments with respect to such fluctuations, because of the historically stable exchange rate between the British Pound Sterling (the functional currency of our U.K. subsidiary) and the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency translation impact on our results, if material, is described in further detail under “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” section below.

*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 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 were as follows:
Previous wording
The decrease in cost of product revenue as a percent of net product revenues for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due to a decrease in expected program costs as a result of lower estimate of rework costs. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company plans on devoting production resources to provide units for which customers have made warranty claims. As the Company has already accrued an estimate of the cost to repair these units, we do not expect this to have a material impact on Cost of product revenues as a percentage of net product revenues.
Current wording
The decrease in cost of product revenue as a percent of net product revenues for the three months ended March 29, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024 was due to a decrease in excess and obsolete reserves.

Net Loss. We incurred net losses of $3.5 million and $41.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, respectively, compared to net losses of $2.5 million and $13.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The decrease in net loss during the three months ended September 28, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to an improvement of gross margins and foreign currency gains partially offset by an increase in legal expense. The increase in the net loss during the nine months ended September 28, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to accrued litigation damages and legal fees.
Current wording
Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $3.1 million during the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to a net loss of $32.5 million during the three months ended March 30, 2024. The decrease in the net loss during the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024 was primarily due to the accrual of litigation damages and legal fees for the three months ended March 30, 2024 in addition to more effective expense management during the three months ended March 29, 2025.
Previous wording
At September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities of $37.3 million and $17.9 million, respectively, and working capital of $19.1 million and $24.0 million, respectively. The change in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities was primarily due to an equity raise of $25.2 million in the third quarter of 2024 in addition to the sale of common stock of $7.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 which was partially offset by cash used in operations of $12.6 million. 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.
Current wording
The increase in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash for the three months ended March 29, 2025 was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $4.6 million partially offset by cash used in operations of $3.4 million. The increase in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash for the three months ended March 30, 2024 was primarily due to net proceeds from the sale of common stock of $7.2 million and marketable securities of $4.5 million partially offset by cash used in operations of $3.1 million. For the three months ended March 29, 2025, cash used in operating activities consisted of a net loss from operations of $3.1 million and net cash used to fund changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.9 million, which were partially offset by non-cash charges totaling $1.6 million, which was primarily related to stock-based compensation, depreciation, and inventory reserves. For the three months ended March 30, 2024, cash used in operating activities consisted of a net loss from operations of $32.5 million partially offset by net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2.9 million and non-cash charges totaling $26.5 million, which was primarily related to accrued litigation damages, stock-based compensation, depreciation, and inventory reserves. 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.

Previous wording
We have had historical and current negative cash flow from operations and limited liquidity resources. Our current strategy is to continue to invest in its business and raise additional capital through financing activities that may include public offerings and private placements of our common stock, preferred stock offerings, collaborations and licensing arrangements and issuances of debt and convertible debt instruments. Until such time that additional capital can be raised, we plan to strategically manage its uncommitted spending, execute its priorities and implement cost saving measures to reduce research and development and general and administrative expenditures which could include minimizing staff costs. We may also sell assets and look at other strategic alternatives. There are inherent uncertainties associated with fundraising activities and activities to manage our uncommitted spending and the successful execution of these activities may not be within our control. There are no assurances that such additional funding will be obtained and that we will succeed in our future operations. If we are unable to achieve positive cash flows and profitability in the foreseeable future or cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement its strategic plan, our liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected. Unless the recommended disgorgement and exemplary damages are significantly reduced or eliminated in the final order, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As the Company is unable to conclude that a favorable outcome in this litigation is probable and due to the net losses and negative cash flows from operations, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.
