KOPIN CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kopin Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Kowon Technology Co., Ltd. (Kowon), a majority owned (78%) subsidiary located in Korea and Kopin Taiwan Corporation (KTC), a majority owned (90%) subsidiary located in Taiwan (collectively the “Company”). Amounts of Kowon and KTC not attributable to the Company are referred to as noncontrolling interests. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010 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. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2010.

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.

2. CASH AND EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The Company considers all highly liquid, short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Marketable debt securities consist primarily of commercial paper, medium-term corporate notes, and United States government and agency backed securities. The Company classifies these marketable debt securities as available-for-sale in “Marketable Debt Securities”. The investment in Advanced Wireless Semiconductor Company (AWSC) is included in “Other Assets” as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. The Company records the amortization of premium and accretion of discount on marketable debt securities in the results of operations.

The Company uses the specific identification method as a basis for determining cost and calculating realized gains and losses. The gross gains and losses realized related to sales and maturities of marketable debt securities were not material during the six months ended June 25, 2011 and the year ended December 25, 2010.

Investments in available-for-sale marketable debt securities are as follows at June 25, 2011 and December 25, 2010:

Total

$ 26,592,356 $ 38,633,327 $ 931,250 $ 66,156,933

The Company conducts a review of its marketable debt securities on a quarterly basis for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). The Company assesses whether OTTI is present when the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date. Under these circumstances OTTI is considered to have occurred (1) if the Company intends to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; (2) if it is “more likely than not” the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis.

8


Table of Contents

The Company further estimates the amount of OTTI resulting from a decline in the credit worthiness of the issuer (credit-related OTTI) and the amount of non credit-related OTTI. Noncredit-related OTTI can be caused by such factors as market illiquidity. Credit-related OTTI is recognized in earnings while noncredit-related OTTI on securities not expected to be sold is recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI). The Company did not record an OTTI for the three and six month periods ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial instruments are categorized as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 based upon the method by which their fair value is computed. An investment is categorized as Level 1 when its fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An investment is categorized as Level 2 if its fair market value is based on quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, based on observable inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, or derived from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. An investment is categorized as Level 3 if its fair value is based on assumptions developed by the Company about what a market participant would use in pricing the assets.

5. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period less any nonvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated using weighted average shares outstanding and contingently issuable shares, less weighted average shares reacquired during the period. The net outstanding shares are adjusted for the dilutive effect of shares issuable upon the assumed conversion of the Company’s common stock equivalents, which consist of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock awards.

Weighted average common shares outstanding used to calculate earnings per share are as follows:

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The fair value of stock option awards is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. There were no stock options granted in fiscal years 2011 and 2010. The fair value of nonvested restricted common stock awards is generally the market value of the Company’s equity shares on the date of grant. The nonvested common stock awards require the employee to fulfill certain obligations, including remaining employed by the Company for one, two or four years (the vesting period) and in certain cases meeting performance criteria. The performance criteria primarily consist of the achievement of the Company’s annual incentive plan goals. For nonvested restricted common stock awards which solely require the recipient to remain employed with the Company, the stock compensation expense is amortized over the anticipated service period. For nonvested restricted common stock awards which require the achievement of performance criteria, the Company reviews the probability of achieving the performance goals on a periodic basis. If the Company determines that it is probable that the performance criteria will be achieved, the amount of compensation cost derived for the performance goal is amortized over the service period. If the performance criteria are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed. The Company recognizes compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for time vested awards. For awards that vest based on performance conditions, the Company uses the accelerated model for graded vesting awards.

A summary of award activity under the stock option plans as of June 25, 2011 and changes during the six month period is as follows. All options were vested as of June 25, 2011.

7. OTHER ASSETS AND AMOUNTS DUE TO / FROM AFFILIATES

Marketable Equity Securities

At June 25, 2011 the Company had an investment in AWSC, with a fair market value of $2.8 million and an adjusted cost basis of $0.7 million, as compared to a fair market value of $4.0 million and an adjusted cost basis of $0.7 million at December 25, 2010. During the second quarter of 2011 the Company sold 300,000 shares of AWSC and recorded a gain of $0.4 million. One of the Company’s Directors is a director of AWSC and several directors and officers own amounts ranging from 0.1% to 0.5% of the outstanding stock of AWSC.

During the first quarter of 2010 the Company sold its investment in Micrel, Inc. and recorded a gain of $0.7 million.

Non-Marketable Securities—Equity Method Investment

In January 2011, KoBrite issued additional equity and the Company’s ownership percentage was reduced from approximately 19% to approximately 12%. At June 25, 2011 the carrying value of the investment was $2.5 million. The Company accounts for its interest in KoBrite using the equity method and for each of the three and six months ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010 recorded equity losses in unconsolidated affiliates of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. One of the Company’s Directors is also a member of the Board of Directors of Bright LED, one of the principle investors of KoBrite.

Summarized financial information for KoBrite for the three and six month periods ended March 26, 2011 and March 27, 2010 is as follows (KoBrite’s results are recorded one quarter in arrears):

Amounts Due from and Due to Affiliates

Related party receivables from AWSC approximated $4.2 million and $2.6 million at June 25, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively.

In fiscal year 2008 the Company entered into an agreement wherein it agreed to sell certain of its patents that it was no longer using to a party who would attempt to sub-license the patents. Under the terms of the agreement the amount the Company would receive for the sale of the patents was a percentage of any license fees, after expenses, from the sublicense. In each of the six months ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010 the Company recorded $0.2 million of license fees from the sale of these patents.

8. ACQUISITION OF FORTH DIMENSION DISPLAYS

On January 11, 2011, the Company purchased all of the outstanding common stock of Forth Dimension Displays Ltd. (FDD) for approximately $11.0 million plus contingent consideration. In addition to the $11.0 million cash paid there is up to an additional $7.0 million the Company may have to pay the former shareholders of FDD depending upon the revenue FDD achieves in 2011. The actual amount of contingent consideration could range from $0 to $7.0 million. Management currently estimates that the fair market value of the contingent consideration is zero.

As a result of this transaction the Company owns 100% of the outstanding stock of FDD. Accounting standards for business combinations require that an acquiring entity measures and recognizes identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the

acquisition date fair value with limited exceptions. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the fair market value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Final determination of the fair values may result in further adjustments to the values below. In addition, the purchase agreement required that FDD have a net working capital of $1.3 million at the acquisition date and any shortages or overages resulted in a dollar for dollar decrease or increase, respectively, in the purchase price. The final net working capital amount has not yet been agreed upon by the parties. The transaction costs of approximately $0.2 million for the acquisition of FDD were expensed as incurred and recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses. Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition date but was at that time unknown to the Company, may become known to the Company during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Changes to amounts recorded as assets or liabilities may result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. The goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.

Forward Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements made relating to our belief that we will continually evaluate our estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements; our expectation that sales prices of our III-V products for wireless handset applications and sales of our display products for consumer electronic applications will decline; our belief that we are a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced semiconductor materials and miniature displays; our belief that there will be increased sales of 3G and smart phones in 2011; our belief that there will be an increase in demand of “3G” or “smart phones” in 2011 over 2010; our expectation that revenue will be between $130 million and $140 million for 2011; our expectation that 2011 revenues will primarily be to customers located in the U.S.; our belief that a strengthening of the U.S. dollar could increase the price of our products in foreign markets; our expectation that we will not receive significant additional amounts from the sale of patents; expectation, based on current negotiations with our customers and certain contractual obligations, that the sales prices of certain products will decline in fiscal year 2011; our expectation that sales prices of our displays for military applications will remain relatively flat in 2011 and sales prices of our III-V products will decline; our belief that the overall increase or decrease in the average sales price of our display products will be dependent on the sales mix of commercial and military display sales; our belief that if Kowon’s current activity continues, we may have a triggering event and possible impairment charges on Kowon’s long-lived assets; our expectation that we will expend between $5.0 and $8.0 million on capital expenditures over the next twelve months; our expectation that the market for display products for military applications will not be seasonal; our expectation that prices of our HBT transistor and display products sold for consumer electronic applications will decline by approximately 5 percent during fiscal year 2011, but may decline more depending on final negotiations with our customers; our expectation that our sales will be strongest in the third quarter followed by our second quarter then our fourth quarter and our first quarter; our expectation that market risk associated with our international operations is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation; our belief that our available cash resources will support our operations and capital needs for at least the next twelve months; our belief 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; the possibility that we may not reach our revenue projections if sales of smart phones have the industry-estimated constant average growth rate of approximately 35% to 40% over the next five years; the possibility that demand for our military products may decline if the anticipated reduction in military spending occurs; our belief that revenue will not be significant in 2011 from sales of optical pods with microdisplays and license fees from the software; our belief that optical pods with a microdisplays and similar products which incorporate our software will be important for our revenue growth and ability to maintain profitability in successive years; our anticipation of a business model whereby we will sell the optical pod which includes our display products and license the software; our belief that labor and overhead costs are fixed in nature over the short term and therefore profitability is very dependent on the sales prices of our products and volume of sales; our belief that for us to increase gross margins we need to increase manufacturing efficiencies through some combination of increasing the unit volume of sales or reducing fixed costs; our belief that one of the benefits of our display technology is the ability to produce high resolution displays in small form factors; our belief that to generate display revenues with above average gross margins, we will need to increase sales to customers who buy our higher resolution display products, such as the military, or develop new categories, such as eyewear; the potential that the Company may have to pay up to an additional $7,000,000 to the former shareholders of FDD depending upon the revenue FDD achieves in 2011; the possibility that the credit rating of our investments may be affected by the underlying financial health of the guarantors of our investments; the possibility that if we do not perform on a purchase and supply agreement with a significant HBT customer then we could be liable for monetary damages up to a maximum of $40.0 million; our belief that, depending upon the relative success of our consumer oriented products verses our military products, our total display revenues may or may not have a seasonal trend; . These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industries in which we operate, management’s beliefs, and assumptions made by management. In addition, other written or oral statements, which constitute forward-looking statements, may be made by or on behalf of us. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “could”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “possibility”, and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in outcomes and results include, but are not limited to, those set forth in our periodic filings filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission including our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, including those related to revenue recognition under the percentage of completion method, bad debts, inventories, warranty reserves, investment valuations, valuation of stock compensation awards and recoverability of deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results will most likely differ from these estimates. Further detail regarding our critical accounting policies can be found in “Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2010.

Business Matters

We are a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced semiconductor products and miniature displays. We use our proprietary semiconductor material technology to design, manufacture and market our III-V and display products for use in highly demanding commercial, industrial and military mobile wireless communication and high-resolution electronic applications.

We have two principal sources of revenues: product revenues and research and development revenues. Product revenues consist of sales of our Display products and our III-V products, principally gallium arsenide (GaAs) HBT transistor wafers. Research and development revenues consist primarily of development contracts with agencies of the U.S. government. For the three and six months ended June 25, 2011, research and development revenues were $1.8 million and $3.8 million or 6% of total revenues, respectively. This contrasted with $1.1 million and $2.6 million for the corresponding period in 2010.

Results of Operations

The three and six month periods ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010 are referred to as 2011 and 2010, respectively. The year ended period December 25, 2010 is referred to as fiscal year 2010.

Revenues. For the three and six month periods ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010, our revenues, which include product sales and amounts earned from research and development contracts, were as follows (in millions):

Revenues from the sale of our III-V products were essentially flat for the three months ended June 25, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in our III-V revenues for the six month period ended June 25, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 resulted primarily from an increase in demand from customers who purchase our HBT transistor wafers for use in cellular handsets. We believe there will be an increase in demand of “3G” or “smart phones” in 2011 over 2010. 3G and smart phones offer more functions, for example web browsing, than a standard wireless handset. 3G and smart phones require more HBT transistors than a standard wireless handset to support the increased functionality. We believe the increase in industry sales of 3G and smart phones will continue in 2011.

The increase in Display revenues in 2011 compared to 2010 resulted from an increase in sales of our Display products to customers that use them for military applications. If and when we receive purchase orders and ship our displays for military applications is dependent on the government procurement cycle. Forth Dimension Displays, Ltd. who we acquired in January 2011, had revenues of approximately $1.6 million and $2.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 25, 2011. Theses revenues were from the sales of displays for consumer electronic applications. Display revenues for military, consumer and R&D applications for 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

We expect revenues of between $130 million and $140 million for fiscal year 2011; however our ability to forecast revenues and results of operations is very limited. Our forecasts are based on our discussions with customers, expectations about U.S. military spending and our expectations about the future global economy and are not based on firm non-cancellable orders. An important element in our projections is the continued increase in sales of smart phones. Industry estimates indicate that sales of smart phones will have a constant average growth rate of approximately 35% to 40% over the next five years. If these forecasts are incorrect we may not reach our revenue projections. The U.S. government is projected to incur large budget deficits for the near future and is expected to reduce spending on military programs as part of the solution to decrease these deficits. As a result of this anticipated reduction in military spending demand for our military products may decline. Our military products have higher profit margins than our other display products. The increase in the Consumer Electronic Applications category is the result of an increase in sales of our products for digital still cameras. Our ability to forecast our revenues in this category is very difficult as sales of our product ultimately depend on how successful our customers are in promoting their digital still cameras models. There are many digital still camera models offered by a number of large consumer electronic companies and it is a very competitive product category.

We anticipate, based on current discussions with our customers and certain contractual obligations that the prices of certain of our products will decline in fiscal year 2011. We anticipate the average selling price of our HBT transistor wafers and display products sold to customers for consumer electronics applications will decline approximately 5% during fiscal year 2011 relative to 2010. We expect the average sales price of our display products for military applications to remain relatively flat for 2011 as compared to 2010. The overall increase or decrease in the average sales price of our display products will be dependent on the sales mix of commercial and military display sales.

In April 2011 we began offering a software developers kit (SDK) for a head-worn, hands-free cloud computing product that has an optical pod with a microdisplay. We do not believe revenue will be significant in 2011 from sales of this product but we do believe in successive years similar products such as this will be important for our revenue growth and ability to maintain profitability. This is the first product we have developed that has a significant software component. We anticipate a business model whereby we will sell the optical pod which includes our display products and license the software.

The back-end packaging manufacturing process of our displays which are sold for consumer applications is performed at Kowon. Kowon had a net loss of $0.1 million before intercompany eliminations for fiscal year 2010. Sales of our display products for use in consumer electronic applications may decline such that Kowon may have a loss from operations in 2011. If sales of our display products for consumer electronic applications do not increase or new markets are not identified, we may have to record impairment charges on Kowon’s long-lived assets which are recorded in our financial statements at $3.0 million at June 25, 2011.

International sales represented 23% and 24% of product revenues for the six months ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010, respectively. The decrease in international sales is primarily attributable to an increase in sales of our Display products for military applications and III-V products to customers who are primarily U.S.-based. We expect our 2011 revenues will primarily be from customers located in the U.S. International sales are primarily sales of Display products to consumer electronic manufacturers located in Japan, Korea and China and our III-V products to customers in Taiwan. 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, leading to a reduction in sales or profitability in those foreign markets. In addition, sales of our Display products in Korea are transacted through our Korean subsidiary, Kowon whose sales are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. However, Kowon’s local operating costs are primarily denominated in Korean won. Kowon also holds U.S. dollars in order to pay various expenses. As a result, our financial position and results of operations are subject to exchange rate fluctuation in transactional and functional currency. 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 Japanese yen, Korean won and the U.S. dollar.

Cost of Product Revenue

Three Months Ended Six Months Ended

Cost of product revenues:

June 25, 2011 June 26, 2010 June 25, 2011 June 26, 2010

Cost of product revenues (in millions):

$ 19.1 $ 21.9 $ 41.1 $ 39.4

Cost of product revenues as a % of net product revenues

64.6 % 75.0 % 65.7 % 74.3 %

Cost of product revenues, which is comprised of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead related to our products, decreased as a percent of revenues by 8.6 % for 2011 as compared to 2010. Our gross margin is affected by increases or decrease in the sales prices of our products, changes in raw material prices, unit volume of sales, manufacturing efficiencies and the mix of products sold. As discussed above, our sales prices for our III-V products and displays sold for commercial applications historically decline on an annual basis. Our overhead costs and, to a lesser extent, our labor costs are normally stable and do not fluctuate significantly during a three or twelve month period. Essentially, we consider labor and overhead costs to be fixed in nature over the short term and therefore profitability is very dependent on the sales prices of our products and volume of sales. Gross margins as a percentage of revenues increased because i) sales of our display products for military applications, which have higher gross margins than our other products, increased as a percentage of our total revenues for 2011 as compared to 2010, ii) revenues from our III-V products increased in 2011 as compared to 2010 which enabled us to leverage the fixed costs to manufacture the III-V products over a higher unit volume thereby reducing the fixed cost per unit, iii) we have reduced labor and overhead expenses over the last twelve months and iv) we are in the process of increasing our III-V production capacity and certain engineering payroll and related expenses are being classified in research & development as the production capacity is installed and qualified with customers. We refer to reducing the fixed cost per unit as manufacturing efficiency. For 2011 we anticipate sale prices of display products for military applications to remain stable and sales prices of our III-V products for wireless handset applications to decline. As a result, in order for us to increase or maintain gross margins we need to increase manufacturing efficiencies through some combination of increasing the unit volume of sales or reducing fixed costs.

There are a number of different display technologies which can produce displays in small form factors. We believe one of the benefits of our display technology is the ability to produce high resolution displays in small form factors. The digital still camera markets are mature and the majority of these devices use low-resolution display products which results in our having limited, if any, competitive advantage over our competitors and, therefore, the ability to sell displays into these markets is very price dependent. Accordingly for us to generate display revenues with above average gross margins, we will need to increase sales to customers who buy our higher resolution display products, such as the military, or develop new categories, such as eyewear.

Research and Development. Research and development (R&D) expenses are incurred in support of internal display and III-V product development programs or programs funded by agencies or prime contractors of the U.S. government and commercial partners. R&D revenues associated with funded programs are presented separately in revenue in the statement of operations. Research and development costs include staffing, purchases of materials and laboratory supplies, circuit design costs, fabrication and packaging of display products, and overhead. For 2011 and 2010, R&D expense was as follows:

Total research and development expense

$ 7.1 $ 4.9 $ 13.5 $ 9.2

Funded R&D expense increased in 2011 as compared to the prior year primarily because of an increase in funded programs from agencies and prime contractors of the U.S. government. Funded R&D expense includes the development of display products for the U.S. military’s Enhanced Night Vision Goggle program.

The increase in internal R&D expenses was primarily attributed to costs for the development of our head worn cloud-computing product, the development of III-V products for 3G and smartphone applications and qualification costs of new production capacity.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) expenses consist of the expenses incurred by our sales and marketing personnel and related expenses, and administrative and general corporate expenses.

Other income and expense, net, is composed of interest income, foreign currency transaction and remeasurement gains and losses incurred by our Korea, Taiwan and UK based subsidiaries, other-than temporary impairment on marketable debt securities, gains resulting from the sale of investments and license fees. In the three months ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010 we recorded gains of $0.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, on the sales of equity investments. In the six months ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010 we recorded gains of $0.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, on the sales of equity investments. For the three months ended June 25, 2011 we recorded $0.3 million of foreign currency losses as compared to $0.7 million of foreign currency gains for the three months ended June 26, 2010. For the six months ended June 25, 2011 we recorded $0.6 million of foreign currency losses as compared to $0.4 million of foreign currency gains for the six months ended June 26, 2010. In addition, in the three and six months ended June 26, 2010 we received a $0.4 million payment which represented amounts held in escrow from the sale of our investment in Kenet on October 3, 2008.

In fiscal year 2008 we entered into an agreement wherein we agreed to sell certain patents we were no longer using, to a party which would attempt to sub-license the patents. Under the terms of the agreement the amount we would receive for the sale of the patents was a percentage of any license fees, after expenses, from the sublicense. For each of the six months ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010, we recorded $0.2 million of license fees from the sale of patents. We do not expect to receive any additional material amounts from the sales of these patents.

Equity Losses in Unconsolidated Affiliate. For the three and six months ended June 25, 2011, the equity loss in unconsolidated affiliate consists of our approximate 12% share of the losses of KoBrite. For the three and six months ended June 26, 2010, the equity loss is a result of our approximate 19% interest in the operating results of KoBrite.

Tax provision. For the three and six months ended June 25, 2011 we recorded a tax provision of $98,000 and $196,000, respectively, compared to provisions of $180,000 and $93,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 26, 2010. Our provision for income taxes is comprised of our estimated alternative minimum tax and state income tax liabilities on our domestic taxable earnings and estimated foreign taxes due on our Korean and Taiwanese subsidiaries’ taxable earnings.

Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interest. We own approximately 78% of the equity of Kowon and approximately 90% of the equity of KTC. Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interest on our consolidated statement of operations represents the portion of the results of operations of our majority owned subsidiaries which is allocated to the shareholders of the equity interests not owned by us. The change in net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interest is the result of the change in the results of operations of Kowon and the addition of the income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in KTC.

Acquisition of Forth Dimension Displays

On January 11, 2011, we purchased all of the outstanding common stock of Forth Dimension Displays Ltd. (FDD) for approximately $11.0 million plus contingent consideration. In addition to the $11.0 million cash paid there is up to an additional $7.0 million we may have to pay the former shareholders of FDD depending upon the revenue FDD achieves in 2011. Management currently estimates that the fair market value of the contingent consideration is zero.

As a result of this transaction we own 100% of the outstanding stock of FDD. Accounting standards for business combinations require that an acquiring entity measures and recognizes identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date fair value with limited exceptions. We have not yet completed our evaluation of the fair market value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Final determination of the fair values may result in further adjustments to the values below. In addition, the purchase agreement required that FDD have a net working capital of $1.3 million at the acquisition date and any shortages or overages resulted in a dollar for dollar decrease or increase, respectively, in the purchase price. The final net working capital amount has not yet been agreed upon by the parties. The transaction costs of

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 25, 2011, we had cash and equivalents and marketable securities of $99.3 million and working capital of $123.9 million compared to $111.0 million and $132.1 million, respectively, as of December 25, 2010. The change in cash and equivalents and marketable securities was primarily due to cash provided by operating activities of $3.5 million, the acquisition of Forth Dimension Displays Ltd, for $10.1 million, net of cash acquired, investments in capital equipment of $3.9 million and the repurchase of our common stock of $1.9 million.

We have a purchase and supply agreement with a significant HBT customer that expires in July 2012, excluding a last time buy option contained in the agreement. Under the terms of this agreement we agreed to maintain capacity levels for manufacturing HBT wafers and we committed to a pricing schedule under certain circumstances. The agreement also requires us to give prior notice if we exit our HBT product line. In consideration for this agreement, the customer agreed to source a certain percentage of its HBT wafer needs from us subject to the customer’s right to source HBT wafers from other sources if we are unable to meet their requirements under certain circumstances. We agreed that failure to meet our supply obligations under the agreement would allow our customer to obtain court ordered specific performance and if we do not perform we could then be liable for monetary damages up to a maximum of $40.0 million.

We lease facilities located in Taunton and Westborough, Massachusetts, and Scotts Valley, California, under non-cancelable operating leases. We have two Taunton facilities, one whose lease expires in 2012 and the other in 2020. The Taunton lease which expires in 2020 may be extended for an additional 10 year term. The Westborough and Scotts Valley leases expire in 2012.

We expect to expend between $5.0 million and $8.0 million on capital expenditures over the next twelve months, primarily for the acquisition of equipment relating to the production of our III-V and Display products.

We have entered into a product development agreement under which we have agreed to fund up to $3.2 million of development expenses if certain milestones are achieved.

As of June 25, 2011, we had tax loss carry-forwards, which may be used to offset future federal taxable income. We may be subject to alternative minimum taxes, foreign taxes and state income taxes depending on our taxable income and sources of taxable income.

Historically 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 Display products. We believe our available cash resources will support our operations and capital needs for at least the next twelve months.

Seasonality

The consumer markets we sell into are traditionally seasonal and we would expect that our third quarter would be our strongest sales quarter for sales of our displays to customers who use them in consumer electronic applications and sales of our III-V products, followed by our second quarter then our fourth quarter and our first quarter would be our lowest sales quarter. Sales of our military products are dependent on the government procurement process. Depending upon the relative success of our consumer oriented products verses our military products our total display revenues may or may not have a seasonal trend. Our principle III-V product is our HBT transistors and revenues from the sales of HBT transistors has not demonstrated the seasonal pattern over the last two years that we would expect.

Contractual Obligations

The following is a summary of our contractual payment obligations for operating leases as of June 25, 2011:

Contractual Obligations

Total Less than 1 year 1-3 Years 3-5 years More than 5 years

Operating Lease Obligations

$ 5,828,100 $ 1,351,112 $ 1,745,362 $ 1,688,688 $ 1,042,938

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We invest our excess cash in high-quality U.S. government, government-backed (Fannie Mae, FDIC guaranteed bonds and certificates of deposit) and corporate debt instruments, which bear lower levels of relative 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 to our cash flows or income. It is possible that interest rate movements would increase our unrecognized gain or loss on interest rate securities. Included in other assets is an equity investment in Advanced Wireless Semiconductor Company (AWSC) of approximately $4.3 million, which is subject to changes in value because of either specific operating issues or overall changes in the stock market. We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates primarily through our translation of our foreign subsidiary’s financial position, results of operations, and transaction gains and losses as a result of non U.S. dollar denominated cash

23


Table of Contents

flows related to business activities in Asia, and remeasurement of United States dollars to the functional currency of our Kowon subsidiary. We are also exposed to the affects of exchange rates in the purchase of certain raw materials whose price is in U.S. dollars but the price on future purchases is subject to change based on the relationship of the Japanese Yen to the U.S. dollar. We do not currently hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk. We estimate that any market risk associated with our international operations is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation. Our portfolio of marketable debt securities is subject to interest rate risk although our intent is to hold securities until maturity. The credit rating of our investments may be affected by the underlying financial health of the guarantors of our investments. We use Gallium Arsenide and Silicon wafers but do not enter into forward or futures hedging contracts.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 25, 2011 and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During our last fiscal quarter, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We may engage in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters and our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be affected in any particular period.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report and the risk factor set forth below, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 25, 2010 and our Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 26, 2011. The risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

We have $31,662,096 invested in U. S. Government Securities. In addition we have $31,232,399 invested in money markets and cash equivalents. The money markets and cash equivalents also invest in U.S. Government Securities. The U. S. Government has stated that due to budgetary issues it may default on certain obligations. If the U.S. Government defaults, the value of our securities may decline.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Sale of Unregistered Securities

In the past three years we have not sold any securities which were not registered under the Securities Act.

Use of Proceeds

The information required by this item regarding use of proceeds by the Company is reported in herein in Part 1, Item 2 under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

Purchase of Equity Securities

On December 8, 2010, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $15 million of our common stock. Pursuant to the stock repurchase program, we may purchase in one or more open market or private transactions up to $15 million of shares of our common stock. The stock repurchase program shall terminate on December 8, 2012, unless earlier terminated by our Board of Directors.
