RESULTS

  • Revenues Increase 56% Year over Year, Including Initial
    Component Shipments to Tier 1 Headset Customers
  • Company Generates $5.5 Million From Sale of Investment
  • Posts $.01 per Diluted Share Earnings

Kopin Corporation (KOPN),
a leading developer of innovative wearable computing technologies and
solutions, today provided an update on its business initiatives and
reported financial results for the second quarter of 2015, ended June 27.

We are very pleased with our progress in becoming the leading
technology provider to the growing wearables market,” said Dr. John C.C.
Fan, Kopin’s President and CEO. “In addition to our displays and compact
optics technologies, we are very excited with our unique Voice
Extraction™ technology that significantly improves the speech
recognition in noisy environments.”

“In the second quarter, we announced that Fujitsu had launched their
enterprise headset based on our wearable technologies and components.
When you add Fujitsu to our existing customers, combined with the
expected launch of a wearable product by another Tier 1 company in 2015,
Kopin is providing system designs and components to the companies
creating the most innovative products in the global headset market,”
said Dr. John C.C. Fan, CEO and President of Kopin. “In September 2015
we plan to debut our latest consumer headset system targeted at the
health and fitness market at the interbike trade show in Las Vegas.”

“Our progress in headsets would not be possible without the expertise
and knowledge we have gained from our military programs. In Q2, Kopin
began fulfilling initial production orders for our SXGA (1280 x 1024
resolution) displays, which are a key component in the helmets worn by
fighter pilots in the new F-35. We also made progress in marketing our
precision acquisition target system (PATS), with the goal of reaching
license agreements in 2015 and revenue generation in 2016.”

“While we continue to make significant investments in display, optics,
Voice Extraction and other technologies, we have remained fiscally
conservative. With over $88 million in cash and marketable securities at
the end of the second quarter, we have the resources to expand the Kopin
ecosystem of wearables suppliers utilizing our components,” concluded
Dr. Fan.

Second Quarter Financial Results

Total revenues for the second quarter ended June 27, 2015, were $10.9
million, compared with $6.9 million for the second quarter of 2014.
Included in 2015 revenues was $3.8 million related to renegotiated
contract terms due to the customer’s lowered forecasted program volumes.

Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were
$4.9 million compared with $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2014.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.1 million in the
second quarter of 2015, compared with approximately $4.9 million in the
same period of 2014, reflecting an increase in compensation for new
hires, patent, information technology and travel expenses which were
partially offset by lower stock compensation expenses.

Other income and expense was $6.2 million of income for the second
quarter of 2015 as compared to an expense of $1.6 million for the second
quarter of 2014. Included in the $6.2 million is a gain on the sale of
our investment in Recon Instruments, which was acquired by Intel.
Included in the 2014 expense of $1.6 million was an impairment charge on
an investment of $1.3 million.

Net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $781,000, or $0.01 per
diluted share, compared with net loss of $8.8 million, or $0.14 per
share, for the same period of 2014.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three and six months ended
June 27, 2015, was $3.4 million and $8.9 million, respectively. Kopin’s
cash, equivalents and marketable securities was $88.3 million at June
27, 2015. Kopin has no long-term debt. Our cash position is expected to
be further enhanced in January of 2016 when we expect to receive payment
of the $15 million note receivable from the sale of our III-V product
line and investment in Kopin Taiwan Corporation.

All amounts above are estimates and readers should refer to our Form
10-Q for the quarter ended June 27, 2015, for final disposition.
