Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Kopin Corporation names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Apr 13, 2026: 34 risks under these headings, as written.15

  • Raising additional funds by issuing securities may cause dilution to our existing stockholders or restrict our operations.
  • Management has identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, and we may be unable to develop, implement and maintain appropriate controls in future periods.
  • We may be unable to manufacture our products cost effectively to meet contractual specifications or customer requirements.
  • Our revenues and cash flows could be negatively affected if sales of our display products for defense applications significantly decline or the current defense development programs are either cancelled or ultimately do not result in future product sales.
  • Changes in government trade policies may increase the cost of our products, which may materially adversely affect our sales or profitability.
  • Our investments in the development and sale of OLED microdisplays may not be successful, which may materially adversely affect our sales, profitability and cash flow.
  • Supply shortages have and could continue to impair quality, reduce the availability or increase the cost of raw materials, which could harm our business.
  • Geopolitical tensions and any conflicts resulting therefrom may negatively affect our ability to source materials and components required to manufacture our products.
  • We are in the process of transitioning from using a Chinese deposition foundry to a European foundry for certain OLED products for defense applications.
  • Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by events beyond our control, such as natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, negative global climate patterns, or other catastrophic events.
  • We generally do not have long-term contracts with our customers, which makes forecasting our revenues and operating results difficult.
  • Fluctuations in operating results make financial forecasting difficult and could adversely affect the price of our common stock.
The other 22 risks
  • Our customers who purchase display products for defense applications typically incorporate our products into their products, which 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.
  • If we fail to comply with complex procurement laws and regulations, we could lose business and be liable for various penalties or sanctions.
  • Our ability to manufacture and distribute our display products would be severely limited if the foundries that we rely on manufacture integrated circuits for our display products fail to provide those services.
  • We may be unable to adequately control purchase pricing of certain critical materials, which may materially adversely affect our sales or profitability.
  • The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and rapidly changing and we may be unable to compete successfully.
  • Disruptions of our production could adversely affect our operating results.
  • A disruption to our information technology systems could significantly impact on our operations, revenue and profitability.
  • We may not achieve some or all of the anticipated benefits of our equity investments.
  • If we are unable to obtain or maintain existing software license relationships or other relationships relating to the intellectual property we use, our ability to grow revenue and achieve profitability and positive cash flow may be negatively affected.
  • We may incur substantial costs in defending our intellectual property and may not be successful in protecting our intellectual property and proprietary rights.
  • The process of seeking patent protection can be time consuming and expensive and we cannot be certain that patents will be issued from currently pending or future patent applications. We cannot be certain that domestic or foreign intellectual property laws will allow the protection of our intellectual property rights or that others will not independently develop similar products, duplicate our products or design around any patents issued or licensed to us.
  • We also attempt to protect our proprietary information with contractual arrangements and under trade secret laws. We believe that our future success will depend primarily upon the technical expertise, creative skills and management abilities of our officers and key employees in addition to patent ownership.
  • Our business could suffer if we fail to recruit and retain key personnel.
  • If we fail to keep pace with changing technologies, we may lose customers.
  • Customer demands and new regulations related to conflict-free minerals may adversely affect us.
  • Changes in tax laws, an unfavorable resolution of tax examinations, or exposure to additional tax liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
  • We may incur significant liabilities if we fail to comply with stringent environmental laws and regulations and the ITAR, or if we did not comply with these regulations in the past.
  • We may be unable to modify our products to meet regulatory or customer requirements.
  • We may be unable to successfully integrate new strategic acquisitions and investments, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
  • Changes in China’s laws, legal protections or government policies on foreign investment in China may harm our business.
  • We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and, consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment during that time is if the price of our common stock appreciates.
  • As a publicly traded company, we are subject to a significant body of regulation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Legal proceedings

The Company 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.

BlueRadios, Inc. v. Kopin Corporation, Civil Action No. 16-02052-JLK (D. Col.):

On August 12, 2016, BlueRadios, Inc. (“BlueRadios”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, alleging that the Company breached a contract between it and BlueRadios concerning the design, development and commercialization micro-display products with embedded wireless technology referred to as “Golden-i,” breached the covenant of good faith and fair dealing associated with that contract, breached its fiduciary duty to BlueRadios, and misappropriated trade secrets owned by BlueRadios in violation of Colorado law (C.R.S. § 7-74-104(4)) and the Defend Trade Secrets Act (18 U.S.C. § 1836(b)(1)). BlueRadios further alleged that the Company was unjustly enriched by its alleged misconduct, BlueRadios is entitled to an accounting to determine the amount of profits obtained by the Company as a result of its alleged misconduct, and the inventorship on at least ten patents or patent applications owned by the Company need to be corrected to list BlueRadios’ employees as inventors and thereby list BlueRadios as co-assignees of the patents. BlueRadios seeks monetary, declaratory, and injunctive relief, including for alleged non-payment of engineering retainer fees.
