NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



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

The financial statements for the three month periods ended March 28, 1998 and
March 29, 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 March 29, 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 quarter. SFAS No. 130 requires
reporting of comprehensive income, which in the case of the Company, is a
combination of reported net loss and the change in the marketable securities
valuation which is a component of stockholders' equity. SFAS No. 130 has no
impact on the Company's net loss. Comprehensive loss for the quarters ended
March 28, 1998 and March 29, 1997 was $608,214 and $2,100,518.

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 March 28,
1998, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $55,129,937.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES. The Company's total revenues were $5,466,547 for the three
months ended March 28, 1998 compared to $3,714,013 during the corresponding
period in 1997, an increase of $1,752,534. The Company's product revenues were
$4,660,684 for the three months ended March 28, 1998 compared to $2,882,077 in
1997, an increase of $1,778,607. Product revenues from sales of the Company's
device wafers were $4,386,000 in 1998 compared to $2,822,774 in 1997, an
increase of $1,563,226 or 55.4%. 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 were
$805,863 for the three months ended March 28, 1998 compared to $831,936 during
the corresponding period in 1997, a decrease of $26,073 primarily attributable
to a decrease in contract revenues from agencies of the federal government. 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 continue to 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 $2,723,238, or 58.4% of product revenues, for the three months ended March
28, 1998 compared to $2,111,365, or 73.3% of product revenues, for the three
months ended March 29, 1997. 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
$1,056,134 for the three months ended March 28, 1998 compared to $923,860 for
the three months ended March 29, 1997, an increase of $132,274. Internal
research and development expenses were $1,493,871 for the three months ended
March 28, 1998 compared to $1,880,118 during the corresponding period in 1997, a
decrease of $396,247. 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 $991,695
for the three months ended March 28, 1998 compared to $1,086,044 during the
corresponding period in 1997, a decrease of $94,349. The decrease in general,
administrative and selling expenses in 1998 was primarily due to changes in
personnel and related expenses. In addition, general, administrative and selling
expenses include non-cash charges for compensation expense of $16,725 for the
three months ended March 28, 1998 compared to $18,180 in the for the three
months ended March 29, 1997 relating to the issuance of certain stock options.

OTHER. Other expenses were $91,899 for the three months ended March 28,
1998 compared to $75,612 during the corresponding period in 1997.

8
OTHER INCOME, NET.  Other income, net was $279,265 for the three months
ended March 28, 1998 compared to $261,368 during the corresponding period in
1997. The increase was primarily due to increased interest income of $379,235
during the three months ended March 28, 1998 compared to $314,897 for the
corresponding period in 1997, resulting from higher cash balances in 1998,
partially offset by increased interest expense of $99,970 in 1998 compared to
$53,529 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 March 28, 1998, the Company had cash and equivalents and
marketable securities of $37,567,103 and working capital of $39,574,250 compared
to $19,046,284 and $21,465,606 as of December 31, 1997. The increase in cash and
equivalents and marketable securities is 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 $2,516,809, capital expenditures of $579,176, and principal payments
on notes payable and long-term obligations of $832,475. The Company also has
approximately $1,096,000 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 March
28, 1998, long-term debt obligations totaled $8,119,311, of which $2,508,288 is
payable in 1998.

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 and the change in the marketable securities
valuation which is a component of stockholders' equity. SFAS No. 130 has no
impact on the Company's net loss. Comprehensive loss for the quarters ended
March 28, 1998 and March 29, 1997 was $608,214 and $2,100,518.

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.

9
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 operational problems and is not anticipated to
be material to its financial position or results of operations in any given
year.

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,
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.
