Business description of KOPIN-CORPORATION from last 10-k form

The global economy in general and the United States economy specifically are experiencing a historic period of uncertainty which could impact our financial results and stock price, among other things.    The United States economy is experiencing high levels of unemployment as compared to the recent past, large federal budget deficits and anticipated declining expenditures on military programs. These issues could have a severe adverse effect on our business and results of operation.

We have experienced a history of losses and have a significant accumulated deficit.    Since inception, we have incurred significant net operating losses. As of December 31, 2011 we had an accumulated deficit of $124.0 million. We believe that our products are targeted towards markets that are still developing and our competitive strength is creating new technologies. Accordingly we believe it is important to continue to invest in research and development even during periods when we are not profitable. Our philosophy and strategies may result in our incurring losses from operations and negative cash flow.
