NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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

The financial statements for the six month periods ended June 27, 1998 and June
28, 1997 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.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the June 28, 1997 amounts to conform
to the 1998 presentation including the presentation of interest income, other
income and interest expense shown as Other Income and Expense. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the 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, 1997.

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 and
its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated.

2. NET LOSS PER SHARE
------------------

Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents have not been
included because the effect would be anti-dilutive. The Company has adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.128, "Earnings Per Share,"
which became effective during the fourth quarter of 1997. The new
pronouncement's requirements had no impact on the Company's previously reported
loss per share.

3. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
---------------------

In March 1998, the Company entered into a $5,000,000 term loan which requires
the Company to make quarterly principal payments of $250,000 plus interest at a
floating rate based upon LIBOR. This term loan is secured by the Company's
accounts receivable.

4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
--------------------

In February 1998, the Company completed a 2,000,000 share public offering of its
common stock at a price of $19.00 per share. Of the total shares sold, 1,000,000
shares were sold by Kopin and the other 1,000,000 shares were sold by Telecom
Holding Co., Ltd. of Thailand. Net proceeds to the Company totaled approximately
$17,171,000.

5. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
---------------------

In January 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No.130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which became effective during the first quarter. SFAS No. 130 requires
reporting of comprehensive income, which in the case of the Company, is a
combination of reported net loss , the change in the marketable securities
valuation, and changes in foreign currency translation adjustments. SFAS No. 130
has no impact on the Company's net loss. Comprehensive loss for the quarters
ended June 27, 1998 and June 28, 1997 was $594,386 and $3,770,128.

In January 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," which will become reportable during the
fourth quarter. The impact of SFAS No. 131 on the Company has not yet been
determined.

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 small form factor displays. The Company was incorporated in 1984
to further develop and commercialize certain semiconductor expertise developed
at MIT. Historically, the Company has derived most of its revenues from research
and development contracts with agencies of the United States government.
Beginning in 1995, the Company experienced a significant increase in revenues
from sales of its device wafers, and in 1996, revenues from such sales for the
first time exceeded revenues from research and development contracts. More
recently, the Company has commenced sales of CyberDisplay products. The Company
has been unprofitable since inception and, at June 27, 1998, the Company had an
accumulated deficit of $55,304,846.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES. The Company's total revenues were $6,683,937 and $12,150,484
for the three and six months ended June 27, 1998 compared to $3,881,274 and
$7,595,287 during the corresponding periods in 1997, an increase of $2,802,663
or 72.2% for the three months and $4,555,197 or 60.0% for the six months ended
June 27, 1998. The Company's product revenues were $5,666,895 and $10,327,579
for the three and six months ended June 27, 1998 compared to $3,117,474 and
$5,999,551 for the three and six months ended June 28, 1997, increases of
$2,549,421 or 81.8% and $4,328,028 or 72.1%, respectively. Product revenues from
sales of the Company's device wafers were $4,551,678 for the three months ended
June 27, 1998 compared to $2,830,949 during the corresponding period in 1997, an
increase of $1,720,729. Product revenues from sales of the Company's device
wafers were $8,937,678 for the six months ended June 27, 1998 compared to
$5,656,623 during the corresponding period in 1997, an increase of $3,281,055.
The increase in product revenues was due to an increase in sales of HBT device
wafers and display products over the corresponding period in the prior year. The
increase in sales of the Company's device wafers was primarily due to the
increased use of these wafers in various wireless telecommunications products,
particularly by the Company's major customer, Rockwell International. Research
and development revenues increased 33.2% to $1,017,042 for the three months
ended June 27, 1998 compared to $763,800 during the corresponding period in 1997
and increased 14.2% to $1,822,905 for the six months ended June 27, 1998
compared to $1,595,736 for the same period in the prior year. As a result of the
expirations of multi-year contracts with the federal government and the
Company's increased emphasis on product revenues, the Company believes that
research and development revenues will decline as a percentage of total revenues
for the near future.

COST OF PRODUCT REVENUES. Cost of product revenues, which is comprised
of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead related to the Company's
products, was $3,511,627, or 62.0% of product revenues, for the three months
ended June 27, 1998 compared to $1,971,820, or 63.3% of product revenues, for
the same period in the prior year. Cost of product revenues was $6,234,865, or
60.4% of product revenues, for the six months ended June 27, 1998 compared to
$4,083,185, or 68.1% of product revenues, for the same period in the prior year.
The improvement in cost of product revenues as a percentage of product revenues
in 1998 was primarily due to increased sales of device wafers resulting in lower
unit costs.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses include
expenses incurred in support of internal development programs and programs
funded by agencies of the federal government, including development programs for
display devices and products, device wafers, circuit design costs, staffing,
purchases of materials and laboratory supplies, and fabrication and packaging of
the Company's display products. Funded research and development expenses were
$1,260,016 and $2,316,150 for the three and six months ended June 27, 1998
compared to $660,699 and $1,584,559 for the same period in the prior year,
increases of $599,317 and $731,591, respectively. Internal research and
development expenses were $1,422,200 and $2,916,071 for the three and six months
ended June 27, 1998 compared to $2,088,621 and $3,968,739 during the
corresponding period in 1997. The decrease in internal research and development
expenses was primarily a result of reduced development costs incurred for
fabrication and packaging of the Company's display products.

GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND SELLING. General, administrative and
selling expenses consist of the expenses incurred by the Company's business
development and sales personnel, marketing expenses, and administrative and
general corporate expenses. General, administrative and selling expenses were
$961,432 for the three months ended June 27, 1998 compared to $1,102,102 during
the corresponding period in 1997, a decrease of $140,670. General,
administrative and selling expenses were $1,953,127 for the six months ended
June 27, 1998 compared to $2,188,146 during the corresponding period in 1997, a
decrease of $235,019. The decrease in general, administrative and selling
expenses in 1998 was primarily

8
due to changes in personnel and related expenses. In addition, general,
administrative and selling expenses include non-cash charges for compensation
expense of $33,450 for the six months ended June 27, 1998 compared to $36,360 in
the for the six months ended June 28, 1997 relating to the issuance of certain
stock options.

OTHER. Other expenses were $95,731 and $187,630 for the three and six
months ended June 27, 1998 compared to $75,612 and $151,224 during the
corresponding period in 1997.

OTHER INCOME, NET. Other income, net was $392,160 and $671,425 for the
three and six months ended June 27, 1998 compared to $328,858 and $590,226
during the corresponding period in 1997. The increase was primarily due to
increased interest income of $162,505 to $548,349 for the three months ended
June 27, 1998 from $385,844 for the corresponding period in 1997 and $226,843 to
$927,584 for the six months ended June 27, 1998 from $700,741, resulting from
higher cash balances in 1998. These increases were partially offset by increases
in interest expense of $99,203 and $145,644 for the three and six months ended
June 27,1998 from the corresponding period in 1997 due to additional debt
funding obtained by the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has financed its operations primarily through public and
private placements of its equity securities, research and development contract
revenues, and sales of its device wafers and display devices and products. In
February 1998, the Company completed a 2,000,000 share public offering of its
common stock at a price of $19.00 per share. Of the total shares sold, 1,000,000
shares were sold by Kopin and the other 1,000,000 shares were sold by Telecom
Holding Co., Ltd. of Thailand. Net proceeds to the Company totaled approximately
$17,171,000.

As of June 27, 1998, the Company had cash and equivalents and marketable
securities of $38,086,439 and working capital of $39,945,038 compared to
$19,046,284 and $21,465,606, respectively, as of December 31, 1997. The increase
in cash and equivalents and marketable securities was primarily due to the
public offering of common stock resulting in net proceeds to the Company of
$17,171,000 and the receipt of a term loan facility of $5,000,000, offset by an
increase in other assets of $982,170, capital expenditures of $2,761,651, and
principal payments on notes payable and long-term obligations of $1,462,049. The
Company also has approximately $710,000 of marketable securities held in escrow
as equipment financing collateral which is shown in other assets.

The Company periodically enters into various long-term debt arrangements to
finance equipment purchases and other activities. As of June 27, 1998, long-term
debt obligations totaled $7,489,737, of which $2,456,106 is payable in the next
twelve months.

In March 1998, the Company entered into a $5,000,000 term loan which
requires the Company to make quarterly principal payments of $250,000 plus
interest at a floating rate based upon LIBOR. This term loan is secured by the
Company's accounts receivable.

In October 1993, the Company entered into a lease for a 74,000 square foot
manufacturing facility. This facility, which includes 10,000 square feet of
environmentally controlled clean rooms, is used primarily for the Company's
production of display devices. This facility is occupied under a lease that
expires in October 2000, with renewable options for up to four additional years
at the Company's election. The Company will make lease payments of approximately
$1.0 million per year over the remaining term of the lease.

The Company expects to expend approximately $5,000,000 on capital
expenditures over the next twelve months, primarily for the acquisition of
equipment relating to the manufacturing, packaging and testing of CyberDisplay
products and production of the Company's device wafers.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No.130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which became effective during the quarter. SFAS No. 130 requires
reporting of comprehensive income, which in the case of the Company, is a
combination of reported net loss, the change in the marketable securities
valuation, and changes in foreign currency

9
translation adjustments. SFAS No. 130 has no impact on the Company's net loss.
Comprehensive loss for the quarters ended June 27, 1998 and June 28, 1997 was
$594,386 and $3,770,128.

In January 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which will become reportable
during the fourth quarter. The impact of SFAS No. 131 on the Company has not yet
been determined.

FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

The Company is conducting a review of its computer systems to identify
those areas that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and is developing an
implementation plan to resolve the issue. The Company presently believes, with
modification to existing software and converting to new software, the Year 2000
problem will not pose significant internal operational problems. However, even
if the internal systems of the Company are not materially affected by the Year
2000 problem, the Company could be affected through disruptions in the operation
of the enterprises with which the Company interacts. As such, there can be no
assurance that the Year 2000 problem will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

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 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 industry and the gallium arsenide integrated circuit and materials
industries, the impact of competitive products and pricing, availability of
third party components, availability of integrated circuit fabrication
facilities, cost and yields associated with production of the Company's
CyberDisplay imaging devices and device wafers, loss of significant customers,
acceptance of the Company's products, continuation of strategic relationships,
Year 2000 matters, 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 the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1997.
