                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



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

The financial statements for the nine month periods ended September 28, 1996 and
September 30, 1995 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. 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, 1995.

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. Certain reclassifications have been
made to the prior year financial statements to be in conformity with the current
year presentation.

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. In 1994, the Company made equity investments
in Forte Technologies, Inc. In May 1995, the Company obtained a controlling
interest in Forte and has consolidated the financial statements of Forte with
those of the Company since that date.

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.

3. INVESTMENT IN FORTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND MINORITY INTEREST
   ------------------------------------------------------------

In October 1994, Kopin acquired a 31% equity interest in Forte Technologies,
Inc., a developer and manufacturer of virtual reality head-mounted systems.
During 1995, Kopin made a series of additional equity investments in and loans
to Forte which resulted in an aggregate equity investment totaling $4,750,000
and loans outstanding of $1,750,000 at December 31, 1995.

In January 1996, Kopin converted a $1,000,000 loan outstanding to Forte as part
of a $2,800,000 private equity offering of Forte common stock. Net proceeds to
Forte totaled $1,800,000  from minority investors.  Additionally, in January
1996, Kopin guaranteed an aggregate of $1,000,000 of equipment and working
capital loans obtained by Forte from a senior lender and agreed to subordinate
its remaining $750,000 loan to Forte to the equipment and working capital loans.
In June 1996, Kopin entered into a subordinated debt agreement with Forte as
part of a $2,118,000 subordinated debt financing pursuant to which Kopin
purchased as part of the initial closing $841,837 of subordinated notes and
warrants. In September 1996, Kopin completed the second and final closing on an
additional $841,837 of subordinated notes and warrants. At September 28, 1996,
Kopin held a 59% equity ownership in Forte.

4. NOTE PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
   --------------------------------------

In 1995, the Company entered into a $3,000,000 demand note agreement with a bank
bearing interest at 1/2% above prime. In May 1996, the note was repaid in full.

During the three months ended March 30, 1996, the Company entered into two
separate equipment financing agreements totaling approximately $1,286,000 as
well as a $500,000 demand note agreement.

5. NON-RECURRING CHARGE
   --------------------

On January 1, 1996 , the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of ." This
Statement establishes accounting standards for the carrying value of long-lived
and certain identifiable intangible assets. In January 1996, the Company
incurred a non-recurring charge of $4,990,412 which included a write-down
associated with the initial adoption of SFAS No.121, the expensing of purchased
technology, and the write-off of certain previously deferred expenses.

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

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which was effective for the Company
beginning January 1, 1996. SFAS No.123 requires expanded disclosures of stock-
based compensation arrangements with employees and encourages (but does not
require) compensation costs to be measured based upon the fair value of the
equity instrument awarded. However, companies are permitted to continue to apply
APB Opinion No. 25, which recognizes compensation cost based on the intrinsic
value of the equity instrument awarded. The Company will continue to apply APB
Opinion No. 25 to its stock based compensation awards to employees and will
disclose the required pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share in
the Company's year ending December 31, 1996 financial statements.

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

Kopin Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") are engaged in the
development, manufacture and sale of flat panel display devices and products,
and custom wafer-engineered electronic materials for commercial and consumer
markets. To date, the Company's revenue has been derived primarily from
development contracts with commercial companies and agencies of the federal
government, as well as from sales of its custom wafer-engineered materials and
flat panel display devices and products.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company's research and development and product sale revenue was
$4,637,610 and $13,689,238 during the three and nine months ended September 28,
1996 compared to $3,989,144 and $9,907,093 earned during the corresponding
periods in the prior year, an increase of $648,466 or 16% for the three months
and $3,782,145 or 38% for the nine months ended September 28, 1996. Research and
development revenue decreased 19% to $1,852,700 for the three months ended
September 28, 1996 from $2,290,930 in the prior year and decreased 20% to
$5,278,072 for the nine months ended September 28, 1996 from $6,607,222 in the
prior year. The decreases in 1996 research and development revenue were
primarily attributable to a reduction in contract revenue from agencies of the
federal government. The Company's product sales increased 64% to $2,784,910
during the three months ended September 28, 1996 from $1,698,214 in the prior
year and increased 155% to $8,411,166 for the nine months ended September 28,
1996 from $3,299,871 during the corresponding period in the prior year. The
sales increase was primarily a result of an increase in unit sales of the
Company's wafer-engineered materials, due to the increase in demand for these
materials by the Company's customers for use in various wireless
telecommunications products. The percentage increase in third quarter sales
experienced over the prior year is not expected to continue in the fourth
quarter as a result of sales levels of the Company's virtual reality head-
mounted systems achieved in the fourth quarter of 1995 that the Company does not
expect to achieve in 1996.

         Interest and other income was $457,326 and $1,463,507 for the three and
nine months ended September 28, 1996 compared to $293,009 and $1,205,331 during
the corresponding period in 1995. The increases in 1996 from the corresponding
periods in the prior year reflect the Company's higher cash balances during
1996.

         The Company's total operating expenses were $8,027,377 for the three
months ended September 28, 1996 and $31,569,353 for the nine months then ended
compared to $6,425,067 and $18,029,985 for the same periods in the prior year.
The increase of $1,602,310 or 25% for the three months ended September 28, 1996
and $13,539,368 or 75% for the nine months then ended was primarily due to the
increase in cost of sales associated with higher sales volume of wafer-
engineered materials and display products, increased costs incurred for internal
development programs, personnel increases and increased sales and marketing
costs for the Company's wafer-engineered materials and display products.
Additionally, expenses for the nine months ended September 28, 1996 included an
increase of $4,990,412 related to a non-recurring charge for the write-down of
certain intangible and long-lived assets in connection with the Company's
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, the expensing
of purchased technology, and the write-off of certain previously deferred
expenses. Cost of sales, which is comprised of materials, labor and
manufacturing overhead, were approximately 84% and 86% of product sales for the
three and nine months ended September 28, 1996, respectively, compared to
approximately 97% and 93% of product sales for the corresponding periods in the
prior year. The reduction of the cost of sales percentage from the comparable
prior periods is primarily due to the manufacturing start-up costs incurred in
the initial production of the Company's head-mounted display systems in 1995,
and increased unit volumes of the Company's wafer-engineered materials in 1996.
Reducing cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the Company's products is
generally dependent on achieving manufacturing economies of scale in order to
manufacture at a lower per unit basis.

         Research and development expenses include expenses incurred in support
of internal development programs and programs funded by agencies of the federal
government. Total research and development expenses for the three and nine
months ended September 28, 1996 were $4,093,692 and $13,297,020 compared to
$3,352,070 and $11,688,719 during the corresponding periods in 1995. The
increases of $741,622 or 22% for the three months and $1,608,301 or 14% for the
nine months then ended were primarily due to increased activity in the Company's
internal development programs for electronic imaging devices and display
products, wafer-engineered materials and head-mounted display systems, including
increases in circuit design costs, staffing, purchases of materials and
laboratory supplies, subcontractor development work, and fabrication and
packaging of the Company's SMART SLIDE imaging devices. These increases were
partially offset by a

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
reduction in research and development expenses incurred in support of programs
funded by agencies of the federal government.

         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 $1,393,977 and $5,304,588 for the three
and nine months ended September 28, 1996, compared to $1,210,425 and $2,785,021
for the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase in general,
administrative and selling expenses in 1996 was primarily due to increases in
display product marketing costs, advertising and trade show costs, as well as
increased personnel and related costs. In addition, general and administrative
expenses include non-cash charges for compensation expense of $11,694 and
$35,082 for the three and nine months ended September 28, 1996, relating to the
issuance of certain stock options. The Company expects to incur additional
increases in general, administrative and selling expenses in the future as it
commercializes its imaging devices and display products.

         During 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair
Value of Financial Instruments," effective January 1, 1995, as required. The
effect of this adoption had no material impact on the Company's financial
statements.

         On January 1, 1996 , the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of ."
This Statement establishes accounting standards for the carrying value of long-
lived and certain identifiable intangible assets. In January 1996, the Company
incurred a non-recurring charge of $4,990,412 which included a write-down
associated with the initial adoption of SFAS No.121, the expensing of purchased
technology, and the write-off of certain previously deferred expenses.

         In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which was effective for the
Company beginning January 1, 1996. SFAS No.123 requires expanded disclosures of
stock-based compensation arrangements with employees and encourages (but does
not require) compensation costs to be measured based upon the fair value of the
equity instrument awarded. However, companies are permitted to continue to apply
APB Opinion No. 25, which recognizes compensation cost based on the intrinsic
value of the equity instrument awarded. The Company will continue to apply APB
Opinion No. 25 to its stock based compensation awards to employees and will
disclose the required pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share in
the Company's year ended December 31, 1996 financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company has financed its operations primarily through private
placements of its equity securities, the initial public offering of its common
stock in April 1992, another public offering in March 1993, research and
development revenue, and sales of its custom wafer-engineered materials and flat
panel display devices and products. The Company currently has an unused line of
credit of $500,000. The Company periodically enters into loan agreements to
finance equipment purchases and other activities. As of September 28, 1996,
sales of equity securities have raised approximately $92,500,000, including
$13,300,000 of net proceeds from the Company's initial public offering,
$26,500,000 of net proceeds from the Company's March 1993 public offering,
$3,300,000 from a private stock sale in November 1992, $4,375,000 from the
exercise of a 625,000 share stock warrant in December 1993, and $30,437,000 from
private stock sales to Telecom Holding Co., Ltd. and United Microelectronics
Corporation and its affiliate in the fourth quarter of 1995.

         As of September 28, 1996, the Company had cash and equivalents and
marketable securities of $27,871,175 and working capital of $32,289,567 compared
to $41,996,977 and $44,727,410 as of December 31, 1995. The decrease in cash and
equivalents and marketable securities is primarily due to $11,563,790 of cash
used in operations and $2,810,827 for capital expenditures. These decreases were
partially offset by borrowings of $1,692,326 and $1,800,000 in equity financing
raised by one of the Company's subsidiaries from certain of its minority
stockholders. The Company also has approximately $1,950,000 of marketable
securities held in escrow as equipment financing collateral which is shown in
other assets.

         Revenue from long-term contracts is recognized on the percentage-
of-completion method of accounting as work is performed, based upon the
ratio that incurred costs or hours bear to estimated total completion
costs or hours. Amounts received under long-term contracts are recognized
as revenue is earned, and amounts earned on contracts in progress in

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
excess of billings are classified as unbilled receivables. Unbilled receivables
are billed based on dates stipulated in the related agreement or in periodic
installments based upon the Company's invoicing cycle.

         The Company periodically enters into various long-term debt
arrangements in connection with the acquisition of certain capital equipment.
During the nine months ended September 28, 1996, the Company entered into two
separate equipment financing agreements and a subordinated debt agreement
totaling $1,692,326. As of September 28, 1996, total long-term debt obligations
totaled $3,245,617, of which $994,220 is payable within one year. Additionally,
in January 1996, the Company entered into a $500,000 demand note agreement.

         In October 1993, the Company entered into a five-year lease for a
74,000 square foot manufacturing facility. This facility, which includes 7,000
square feet of environmentally controlled clean rooms, is being used for
production of wafer-engineered materials and electronic imaging devices for
certain of the Company's display products. The Company will make lease payments
of approximately $4.0 million over the five-year term.

         The Company expects to expend approximately $6,000,000 over the next 36
months on equipment primarily related to development and manufacturing of
electronic imaging devices and display products and wafer-engineered electronic
materials. Of this amount, the Company expects to use approximately $500,000 in
the remainder of 1996, $2,000,000 in 1997, $2,000,000 in 1998 and $1,500,000 in
1999 for capital equipment and expansion of the Company's manufacturing
capabilities. Of these amounts, approximately $4,000,000 is expected to be used
for expansion of manufacturing equipment required for development and
manufacturing of electronic imaging devices and display products, and wafer-
engineered materials, and the balance is expected to be used for the acquisition
of laboratory and testing equipment and general facility upgrades. The Company
also expects to use approximately $3,000,000 for development of advanced display
circuit designs for its electronic imaging devices.

         The Company expects to incur significant additional research and
development and other costs, including costs related to the development and
commercialization of its electronic imaging devices and display products. The
Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors involving
risks and uncertainties, including the establishment of collaborative
arrangements, the cost of manufacturing facilities, commercialization activities
and arrangements, continued scientific progress in its imaging device and
display product development programs, the magnitude of these programs, the costs
involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing patent claims, and competing
technological and market developments.

         In October 1994, the Company made an equity investment of $1,000,000 in
Forte Technologies, Inc., a developer and manufacturer of virtual reality head-
mounted systems. Subsequently, the Company has made a series of additional
equity investments in Forte totaling $4,750,000, increasing its equity ownership
to 59% at September 28, 1996. From time to time, Kopin may make equity and
nonequity investments in other companies, including Forte, engaged in certain
aspects of the flat panel display and electronics industries as part of its
business strategy.

         The Company believes that its present cash and equivalents and
marketable securities will be adequate to finance its anticipated operating and
capital requirements and to meet liquidity needs through at least fiscal 1998.
