PART III — NARRATIVE

Kopin Corporation is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. As previously communicated, Kopin discovered instances in which an employee at its majority-owned Korean subsidiary, Kowon, appeared to have embezzled money from such subsidiary, and as such, material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting were identified. Kopin requires additional time to finalize its financial statements, to be filed as part of the 2016 Form 10-K, as it completes the reconciliation process within its consolidated financial statements. Kopin does not believe this issue will have a material impact on its 2016 or 2015 operating results, nor will it impact future results.

Kopin currently expects to file the 2016 Form 10-K on or before March 31, 2017, the prescribed due date under the fifteen calendar day extension period provided under Rule 12b-25.
