FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

• This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to our expected future financial and operating performance, growth in the markets in which our products are sold, our market share for our products, and our significant customers. We may use words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “could,” “seeks,” “estimates,” and variations of such words and similar expressions in identifying forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections, our stock value multiple, the value of head-worn computing or our products, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. 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.

• The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in this presentation:

– Our ability to continue as a going concern, as noted in the report from our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018

– The market segment for our Wearable products may not develop or may take longer to develop than we anticipate, which may impact our ability to grow revenues.

– Our revenues and cash flows could be negatively affected if sales of our Display products for military applications significantly decline.

– Our ability to manufacture and distribute our Display products would be severely limited if the foundries that we rely on to manufacture integrated circuits for our Display products fail to provide those services.

– We depend on third parties to provide integrated circuit chip sets and critical raw materials for use with our headset systems and components and we periodically receive “end of life” notices from suppliers that they will no longer be providing a raw material.

– The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and rapidly changing and we may be unable to compete successfully. There are a number of companies that develop or may develop products that compete in our targeted markets.

– Disruptions of our production of our Display products would adversely affect our operating results.

– A disruption to our information technology systems could significantly impact our operations revenue and profitability.

– Our headset systems are dependent on software that we have limited experience in developing, marketing or licensing.

– Our headset systems use software that we license from other companies ("Licensors") and require us to access the Licensor's data centers, and interruptions or delays in service from data center hosting facilities could impair our customer's products.

– We may not be successful in protecting our intellectual property and proprietary rights and we may incur substantial costs in defending our intellectual property.

– Our customers who purchase display products for military applications typically incorporate our products into their products that are sold to the U.S. government under contracts. U.S. government contracts generally are not fully funded at inception and may be terminated or modified prior to completion, which could adversely affect our business.

– Most of our military sales are on a fixed-price basis, which could subject us to losses if there are cost overruns.

– We generally do not have long-term contracts with our customers, which makes forecasting our revenues and operating results difficult.

– A decline in the U.S. government defense budget, changes in spending or budgetary priorities, prolonged U.S. government shutdown or delays in contract awards may significantly and adversely affect our future revenues, cash flow and financial results.

• A more complete description of these risks and uncertainties can be found in the filings of the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable law. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forwarding-looking statements.

Kopin, one that’s not only interesting but potentially

extremely pertinent to next generation VR hardware.

Seeing is believing here, and I quite literally could not see

anything resembling aliasing on the display even with a 10x

loupe to try and look more closely at the display

The Technology That May Drive The Next Generation of

Phones and Mobile Devices…the most advanced display I

saw came from Kopin, which showed a 1-inch OLED panel with

a 2048 by 2048 resolution and a 120 Hz frame rate

2048×2048 and a fast 120 Hz frame rate - firsts for the VR

industry and will raise the bar on performance… Latency is

also an astoundingly low 10 microseconds

Kopin Debuts Lightning OLED Microdisplay With 2k x 2k
