NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
---------------------

The consolidated financial statements for the nine month periods ended September
29, 2001 and September 30, 2000 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, except for
adjustments described below, are of a normal recurring nature. 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
(the "SEC") (File No. 0-19882) for the year ended December 31, 2000.

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.

2. 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 accumulated as part of
other comprehensive income and aggregate $10,033 of unrealized gain at September
29, 2001. Transaction gains or losses are recognized in income or loss
currently.

3. NET INCOME 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 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.

4. INVENTORY
---------

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

========== ==========

</TABLE>

5.   OTHER ASSETS
------------

Other assets consist primarily of marketable and non-marketable equity
securities in various companies and notes receivable. Non-marketable equity
securities are carried at cost and aggregate $7,354,000 and $14,864,000 at
September 29, 2001 and December 31, 2000 respectively. At December 31, 2000 the
Company had a 20% interest in Kendin Communications, Inc. (Kendin), which was
accounted for using the equity method. The carrying value of this investment at
December 31, 2000 was $3,170,000. During the quarter ended June 30, 2001 the
Company exchanged its interest in Kendin for shares of Micrel Incorporated
(Micrel), as part of Micrel's acquisition of Kendin, and recorded a net gain of
$24,900,000 on the exchange. Following this transaction, the Company
discontinued the use of the equity method to account for this investment. Also
during the quarter ended June 30, 2001 the Company recorded a $4,000,000 write-
down of certain non-marketable securities as a result of a more than temporary
decline in their value.

Non-current marketable securities, which consist primarily of the investment in
Micrel stock, are carried at fair-value. The fair-value of non-current
marketable securities was $16,021,000 at September 29, 2001. Gross unrecognized
losses on non-current marketable securities were $7,294,000 at September 29,
2001.

The net gain recognized resulting from the gain on exchange of investment and
write-down of certain non-marketable securities is included in interest and
other income for the nine months ended September 29, 2001.

6. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
---------------------------------

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", which is effective for fiscal years
commencing after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires fair value accounting for
all stand-alone derivatives and many derivatives embedded in other financial
instruments and contracts. SFAS No. 133 did not have a material effect on our
financial position or results of operations.

The SEC has released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements", which sets forth their views regarding revenue
recognition. The Company believes its revenue recognition practices are in
compliance with this bulletin.

In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
141 ("SFAS 141"), "Business Combinations." SFAS 141 requires the purchase method
of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and
eliminates the pooling-of-interests method. The Company does not believe the
adoption of SFAS 141 will have a significant impact on its financial statements.

Also in July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which is effective
January 1, 2002. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of
goodwill amortization. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the
impact the adoption of SFAS 142 will have on our financial statements.

7. IMPAIRMENT CHARGE
-----------------

As a result of the decline in the Company's revenues during the three months
ended June 30, 2001, the Company has assessed the recoverability of certain
equipment used in its manufacturing operations. This equipment consists
primarily of older manufacturing machines, utilized in the Company's III-V
business. Because of softened current demand for the Company's wafer products,
the machines in question are currently not used in manufacturing operations.
Based on forecasts developed by the Company, the Company does not believe that
these machines will be placed back into service in the foreseeable future; the
Company anticipates that these machines will be replaced by newer, more
efficient equipment before demand will recover. As a result of this analysis,
and other analyses pertaining to the impact of the change in business
conditions, the Company recorded a charge of $5,342,000 in the quarter ended
June 30, 2001, representing the remaining un-amortized cost of the identified
equipment, and other costs.

8
8.   IN PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
-----------------------------------

During the quarter ended December 31, 2000 the Company expensed $5,300,000
million associated with in-process research and development technologies which
had not yet reached technological feasibility, and had no alternative uses,
acquired as part of the acquisition of Super Epitaxial Products, Inc. in October
2000.

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

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 products used in highly demanding commercial
wireless communications 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. Historically, product revenues have consisted of sales
of our III-V products, principally our Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor ("HBT")
transistor wafers, and our CyberDisplay products. For the nine month period
ended September 29, 2001, we had product revenues of $35.5 million, or 97.2% of
total revenues compared to $66.9 million, or 98.5% of total revenues for the
same period in 2000.

Research and development revenues consist primarily of development contracts
with agencies of the U.S. government. For the nine months ended September 29,
2001, research and development revenues were $1.0 million, or 2.8% of total
revenues compared to $1.0 million, or 1.5% of total revenues for the same period
in 2000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES. Our total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 29,
2001 were $12.3 million and $36.5 million, respectively, compared to $23.8
million and $67.9 million during the corresponding periods in 2000. This
represents a decrease of approximately $11.6 million and $31.5 million for the
three and nine months ended September 29, 2001, respectively. Our product
revenues were $12.0 million and $35.5 million for the three and nine months
ended September, 2001, compared to $23.3 million and $66.9 million for the same
periods in 2000, decreases of approximately $11.3 million and $31.5 million
respectively. For the nine months ended September 29, 2001, III-V and
CyberDisplay product sales were $20.2 million and $15.2 million, respectively,
as compared to $53.8 million and $13.1 million, respectively, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in III-V product revenues resulted
from a decline in demand from customers who buy our HBT transistor wafers for
integration into components used in wireless handsets. For the year ending
December 31, 2001 we expect a decline in III-V product revenues as a result of
worldwide inventory accumulation in the supply chain of wireless handsets and
related components. In addition, industry analysts believe there will be a
slowing of worldwide sales growth rates of wireless handsets, which may decrease
the rate of consumption of the inventory in the supply chain. Research and
development revenues for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2001 were
$.3 million and $1.0 million compared to $.6 million and $1.0 million for the
same period in 2000.

COST OF PRODUCT REVENUES. Cost of product revenues, which is comprised of
materials, labor and manufacturing overhead related to our products, was $16.1
million and $47.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2001
compared to $17.6 million and $48.5 million during the corresponding periods in
2000. For the nine months ended September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000, cost
of product revenues as a percentage of product sales was 134.5% and 71.3%,
respectively. The increase in cost of product revenues as a percentage of sales
is a result of the fixed cost nature of our business, whereby expenses did not
decline at the same rate as the decline in sales, particularly III-V product
sales and related expenses.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses (R&D) are incurred
in support of internal III-V and display product development programs or
programs funded by agencies 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.
Funded R&D was $.6 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended
September 29, 2001 compared to $.3 million and $.9 million for the same periods
in the prior year, increases of $.3 million and $.8 million, respectively.
Internal R&D was $3.1 million and $9.4 million for the three and nine months
ended September 29, 2001 compared to $1.4 million and $5.3 million during the
corresponding periods in 2000. The increase in internal R&D was primarily the
result of III-V development programs.

10
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 $3.1 million for the three months ended September 29, 2001
compared to $1.5 million during the corresponding period in 2000, an increase of
$1.6 million, or 105.3%. S,G&A was $11.9 million for the nine months ended
September 29, 2001 compared to $6.5 million during the corresponding period in
2000, an increase of $5.4 million, or 82.60%. The year to year increase in S,G&A
was primarily due to an increase in goodwill amortization of $1.6 million,
resulting from the purchase of Super Epitaxial Products, Inc., in October, 2000,
bad debt expense of $1.0 million, depreciation expense of $.8 million and legal
and patent maintenance of $1.6 million. In addition, S,G&A expenses include non-
cash charges for compensation expense of $41,265 for both nine month periods in
2001 and 2000, relating to the issuance of certain stock options.

OTHER. Other expenses, primarily amortization of patents and licenses, were
$.1 million and $.3 million for the three and nine month periods ended September
29, 2001 compared to $.1 million and $.5 million during the corresponding
periods in 2000.

OTHER INCOME, NET. Other income, net was $1.4 million and $24.1 million for
the three and nine months ended September 29, 2001 compared to $1.4 million and
$4.1 million during the corresponding period in 2000. 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. We have recorded a net gain of $20.9 million as
a result of this exchange and the write-down of certain investments in
semiconductor companies due to a more than temporary decline in their value
during the quarter ended June 30, 2001. During the quarter ended September 29,
2001 we sold a portion of the Micrel shares for $6.5 million, which had a cost
basis of $5.9 million. This resulted in a gain of $.6 million which is included
in Other Income, Net. Also in this quarter we marked to market our remaining
investment in Micrel classified as an available-for-sale security, which
resulted in an unrealized loss of $7.3 million. This loss was recorded as a
component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Stockholders' Equity.

IMPAIRMENT CHARGE. As a result of the decline in the Company's revenues during
the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company assessed the recoverability of
certain equipment used in its manufacturing operations. This equipment consists
primarily of older manufacturing machines, utilized in the Company's III-V
business. Because of softened current demand for the Company's wafer products,
the machines in question are currently not used in manufacturing operations.
Based on forecasts developed by the Company, the Company does not believe that
these machines will be placed back into service in the foreseeable future; the
Company anticipates that these machines will be replaced by newer, more
efficient equipment before demand will recover. As a result of this analysis,
and other analysis pertaining to the impact of the change in business
conditions, the Company recorded a charge of $5,342,000 in the quarter ended
June 30, 2001, representing the remaining un-amortized cost of the identified
equipment, and other costs.

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 29, 2001, we had cash and equivalents and marketable
securities of $65.2 million and working capital of $65.8 million compared to
$73.2 million and $88.3 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2000. The
decrease in cash and equivalents and marketable securities was primarily due to
net capital and investment expenditures of $4.7 million, principal payments on
long-term obligations of $.75 million, and cash used by operations of $7.7
million, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $2.5
million. Other sources of cash during the period were accounts receivable, which
have declined due to the decrease in revenues, and refundable taxes, which were
collected in cash during the nine months ended September 29, 2001.

We periodically enter into long-term debt arrangements to finance equipment
purchases and other activities. As of September 29, 2001, debt obligations
totaled $1.5 million, which is payable in the next twelve months.

Our CyberDisplay products are targeted at large sales volume consumer
electronic and wireless communication applications. We believe that in order to
obtain customers in these markets, it has been necessary to make significant

11
investments in equipment and infrastructure. We believe that it will be
necessary to continue to make significant investments in equipment and
development in order to produce current and future CyberDisplay products. As a
result of the current cost structure of our CyberDisplay product line, our
ability to achieve profitability in that product line depends upon achieving
significant sales volumes and higher gross profit margins. We have not yet
produced our CyberDisplay products at volumes necessary to achieve
profitability. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain sufficient sales
volumes, or if sufficient sales volumes are achieved, we may not be able to
produce our CyberDisplay products at a gross margin which will allow the product
line to generate a profit.

We lease our facilities located in Taunton and Westborough, Massachusetts, and
Los Gatos, California, and Columbia, Maryland, under non-cancelable operating
leases. The Taunton leases expire through May 2010. The Westborough lease
expires in October 2003, with renewable options for up to two additional years
at our election. The Los Gatos lease covers a five year period terminating in
2002. The Maryland lease expires in 2005. We will make lease payments of
approximately $1.4 million per year over the remaining terms of these leases.

We expect to expend approximately $10.0 million on capital expenditures over
the next twelve months, primarily for the acquisition of equipment relating to
the production of our III-V products and the manufacturing, packaging and
testing of CyberDisplay products.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", which is effective for fiscal years
commencing after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires fair value accounting for
all stand-alone derivatives and many derivatives embedded in other financial
instruments and contracts. The impact of to us of SFAS No. 133 had no material
effect on financial position or results of operations.

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has released staff accounting
Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", which sets
forth their views regarding revenue recognition. The Company believes its
revenue recognition practices are substantially in compliance with this
bulletin.

In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 141 ("SFAS 141"), "Business Combinations." SFAS 141 requires the purchase
method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and
eliminates the pooling-of-interests method. The Company does not believe that
the adoption of SFAS 141 will have a significant impact on its financial
statements.

Also in July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which is
effective January 1, 2002. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the
discontinuance of goodwill amortization. The Company has not yet completed its
evaluation of the impact that the adoption of SFAS 142 will have on its
financial statements.

In August, 2001, the FASB released SFAS No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which is effective in 2002.
SFAS 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. The
Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact the adoption of SFAS
144 will have on its financial 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 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 impact of competitive
products and pricing, availability of third party components and wafer
substrates, availability of integrated circuit fabrication facilities, cost and
yields associated with production of the Company's CyberDisplay imaging devices
and HBT transistor wafers, successful completion and operation of our second
gallium arsenide fabrication facility, 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, 2000.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
----------------------------------------------------------

We invest our excess cash in high quality government and corporate financial
instruments which bear minimal 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. We sell
our products to customers worldwide. We maintain a reserve for potential credit
losses and such losses have been minimal. We are exposed to changes in foreign
currency exchange primarily through our translation of our foreign subsidiary's
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows and the sale of
CyberDisplay products to customers in Asia. Currency rate changes have not had
a significant impact on operations to date, and had foreign currency rates
changed by 10% during any period presented, the impact would not have been
material to the consolidated financial statements.
