KOPIN CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kopin Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kowon Technology Co., Ltd. (Kowon), a majority owned (93%)  subsidiary located in Korea, and Ikanos Consulting Ltd. (Ikanos) a (51%) owned subsidiary located in the United Kingdom (collectively the “Company”). Ownership interests of Kowon and Ikanos not attributable to the Company are referred to as noncontrolling interests. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 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. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012. On January 16, 2013, the Company sold its investment in Kopin Taiwan Corp (KTC). See Note 2.
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company paid approximately $3.7 million to acquire an additional 15% ownership in its Kowon subsidiary. The Company closed its Kowon facility during the quarter ended March 30, 2013. The closure of this facility does not meet the criteria for assets held for sale based on the Company's anticipated duration to sell the facility. The Company will continue to assess its presentation of the Kowon facility.
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.
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  ASU No. 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. ASU No. 2013-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this ASU on December 30, 2012 with no impact on its financial statements.

During the three months ended March 30, 2013, the change in the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income was the net of ($0.4) million cumulative translation adjustment, $0.2 million unrealized holding gains on marketable securities and ($1.5) million related to the sale of its III-V product line and $0.4 million related to its acquisition of additional noncontrolling interest in Kowon.

Immaterial Restatement
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company identified an error in the calculation of intercompany profit elimination in inventory for prior periods. While the Company believes the correction of this error is not material to its previously issued historical consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated certain balances within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

2. Discontinued Operations
On January 16, 2013 (the Closing Date) the Company sold its III-V product line, including all of the outstanding equity interest in KTC Wireless, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that held the Company's investment in KTC, to IQE KC, LLC (IQE) and IQE plc (Parent, and collectively with IQE, the Buyer) pursuant to a Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) entered into on January 10, 2013 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $75 million, subject to certain adjustments, including working capital adjustments and escrow (the Sale). Of the total consideration, $55 million was paid to the Company in January 2013 and $5 million was held in escrow pending a final determination of the working capital on the Closing Date. The Company estimated that the net purchase price after the working capital adjustments are made will be approximately $70.2 million and the gain on sale, net of tax is $20.4 million. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement the remaining $15 million will be paid to the Company on the third anniversary of the Closing Date. Payment of the $15 million is also secured by liens on certain assets of the business sold. The Company has recorded the $15.0 million receivable at the discounted value of $14.8 million which is included in Other Assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The operating results of the III-V product line prior to the sale are reported within income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the consolidated statement of operations. The assets and liabilities associated with the III-V product line are presented as current assets held for sale, noncurrent assets held for sale, current liabilities held for sale and noncurrent liabilities held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 29, 2012.

3. CASH AND EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company considers all highly liquid, short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Marketable debt securities consist primarily of commercial paper, medium-term corporate notes, and United States government and agency backed securities. The Company classifies these marketable debt securities as available-for-sale in “Marketable Debt Securities”. The investments in Advanced Wireless Semiconductor Company (AWSC) and WIN Semiconductor Corp. (WIN) are included in “Other Assets” as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. The Company records the amortization of premium and accretion of discount on marketable debt securities in the results of operations.
The Company uses the specific identification method as a basis for determining cost and calculating realized gains and losses with respect to marketable debt securities. The gross gains and losses realized related to sales and maturities of marketable debt securities were not material during the three months ended March 30, 2013 and the year ended December 29, 2012.
Investments in available-for-sale marketable debt securities are as follows at March 30, 2013 and December 29, 2012:

The Company conducts a review of its marketable debt securities on a quarterly basis for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). The Company assesses whether OTTI is present when the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date. Under these circumstances OTTI is considered to have occurred (1) if the Company intends to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; (2) if it is “more likely than not” the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis.
The Company further estimates the amount of OTTI resulting from a decline in the credit worthiness of the issuer (credit-related OTTI) and the amount of non credit-related OTTI. Noncredit-related OTTI can be caused by such factors as market illiquidity. Credit-related OTTI is recognized in earnings while noncredit-related OTTI on securities not expected to be sold is recognized in other comprehensive loss. The Company did not record an OTTI for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Financial instruments are categorized as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 based upon the method by which their fair value is computed. An investment is categorized as Level 1 when its fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An investment is categorized as Level 2 if its fair market value is based on quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, based on observable inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, or derived from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. An investment is categorized as Level 3 if its fair value is based on assumptions developed by the Company about what a market participant would use in pricing the assets.
The following table details the fair value measurements of the Company’s financial assets:

The corporate debt consists of floating rate notes with a maturity that is over multiple years but has interest rates which are reset every three months based on the then current three month London Interbank Offering Rate (three month Libor). The Company determines the fair market values of these corporate debt instruments through the use of a model which incorporates the three month Libor, the credit default swap rate of the issuer and the bid and ask price spread of the same or similar investments which are traded on several markets.
The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.  If accrued liabilities were carried at fair value, these would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

6. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period less any non-vested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per common share, if applicable, is calculated using weighted average shares outstanding and contingently issuable shares, less weighted average shares reacquired during the period. The net outstanding shares are adjusted for the dilutive effect of shares issuable upon the assumed conversion of the Company’s common stock equivalents, which consist of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock units.
Weighted average common shares outstanding used to calculate earnings per share are as follows:

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The fair value of stock option awards is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. There were no stock options granted in the three month period ended March 30, 2013, or in fiscal year 2012. The fair value of non-vested restricted common stock awards is generally the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The non-vested common stock awards require the employee to fulfill certain obligations, including remaining employed by the Company for one, two or four years (the vesting period) and in certain cases also require meeting either performance criteria or the Company’s stock achieving a certain price. The performance criteria primarily consist of the achievement of the Company’s annual incentive plan goals. For non-vested restricted common stock awards which solely require the recipient to remain employed with the Company, the stock compensation expense is amortized over the anticipated service period. For non-vested restricted common stock awards which require the achievement of performance criteria, the Company reviews the probability of achieving the performance goals on a periodic basis. If the Company determines that it is probable that the performance criteria will be achieved, the amount of compensation cost derived for the performance goal is amortized over the service period. If the performance criteria are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed. The Company recognizes compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for time-vested awards.
In 2011, the Company granted 380,000 shares of phantom stock which will be settled in cash at the end of the first 10 consecutive trading day period following the grant date during which the Company’s common stock trades at a price per share equal to or greater than $5.25, prior to September 12, 2016. The vesting of the awards upon achieving a closing stock price of $5.25 for 10 consecutive days is considered a market condition which requires the Company to periodically assess the fair market value of the award, with increases or decrease in the fair market value being reflected in the statement of operations.
A summary of award activity under the stock option plans as of March 30, 2013 and changes during the three month period is as follows (all options were vested as of March 30, 2013):

9. ACQUISITION OF IKANOS
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 the Company acquired a 25% interest in Ikanos, a private company, for $0.7 million and accounted for its interest using the equity method of accounting. On July 10, 2012 the Company purchased an additional 70,748 newly issued shares of Ikanos common stock for approximately $2.5 million, from Ikanos (the "Transaction"). As a result of this transaction and the Company's previous investment in Ikanos, the Company owns approximately 51% of the now outstanding stock of Ikanos. The remaining 49% is held by other investors and employees of Ikanos. The Company began consolidating Ikanos on July 1, 2012.

11. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s tax benefit of approximately $13.0 million for the three months ended March 30, 2013, represents an intraperiod tax allocation related to the Company's discontinued operations. The income tax provision of $97,400 for the corresponding period in 2012, represents state income taxes and foreign tax expenses, which are partially offset by tax credits.
For the three months ended March 30, 2013, the gain shown in income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the
condensed consolidated statement of operations is net of an estimated $13.1 million of federal taxes resulting from the gain on the sale of the III-V product line and investment in KTC. The Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards which may be used to offset the gain on the sale of the III-V product line and investment in KTC. The federal tax benefit from the utilization of the net operating losses is shown in the Company's tax provision in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Included in the purchase price of the III-V product line and the investment in KTC is a $15.0 million note receivable which is due in three years, which provides the Company with alternative tax treatments in computing the taxes associated with the transaction. The Company has until the end of its fiscal year to make a final determination on the tax treatment of the transaction and accordingly the final taxes and the amount of net operating loss carryforward utilized may change.

Table of Contents

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, intraperiod tax allocation provisions require allocation of a tax expense to the gain on discontinued operations based upon the Company's statutory tax rate.  The Company has net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards available to offset the tax expense.  The benefit of these NOLs is reflected in the tax benefit from continuing operations.  Accordingly, the Company has recorded a tax expense in discontinued operations and a benefit in continuing operations of $13.1 million.
As of March 30, 2013, the Company has available for tax purposes U.S. federal NOLs of $15.3 million expiring through 2032. The Company has recognized a full valuation allowance on its domestic and certain foreign net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realization of such assets. The Company has not historically recorded, nor does it intend to record the tax benefits from stock awards until realized. Unrecorded benefits from stock awards approximate $13.0 million.
The Company’s income tax returns have not been examined by the Internal Revenue Service and are subject to examination for all years since 2002. State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of 3 to 5 years after filing of the respective return. The state impact of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states.
12. SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. During the period ended March 30, 2013, the Company transferred the manufacturing operations of Kowon to the Company's manufacturing facility in the United States and sold its III-V product line including its investment in KTC. As a result of these transactions the Company has reorganized its operations to align with its new strategy to primarily focus on developing our body-worn voice activated and gesture controlled cloud computing systems and display products. Accordingly, the Company has determined it has one reportable segment and the segment information for the prior periods presented has been recast to reflect the change in reportable segments.
During the three month periods ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, the Company derived its sales from the following geographies (as a percentage of net revenues):

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industries in which we operate, management's beliefs, and assumptions made by management. In addition, other written or oral statements, which constitute forward-looking statements, may be made by or on behalf of us. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “could”, “seeks”, “estimates”, and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which are difficult to predict. Therefore, 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. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in outcomes and results include, but are not limited to, those discussed below in Item 1A and those set forth in our other periodic filings filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required by law, we do not intend to update any forward-looking statements even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies
Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, including those related to revenue recognition under the percentage of completion method, bad debts, inventories, warranty reserves, investment valuations, valuation of stock compensation awards and recoverability of deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results will most likely differ from these estimates. Further detail regarding our critical accounting policies can be found in “Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012.
Business Matters
On January 16, 2013 (the Closing Date), we completed the sale of our III-V product line, including all of the outstanding equity interest in KTC Wireless, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary that held our investment in Kopin Taiwan Corporation (KTC), to IQE KC, LLC (IQE) and IQE plc (Parent, and collectively with IQE, the Buyer). The aggregate purchase price was approximately $70 million of which $15 million will be paid to us on the third anniversary of the Closing Date. We have discounted the $15 million and recorded the amount due at $14.8 million.
During the first quarter of 2013, we paid approximately $3.7 million to acquire an additional 15% ownership in its Kowon subsidiary. We closed our Kowon facility during the quarter ended March 30, 2013. The closure of this facility does not meet the criteria for assets held for sale based on our anticipated duration to sell the facility. We will continue to assess our presentation of the Kowon facility.
We were incorporated in Delaware in 1984 and are a leading developer of body-worn voice activated and gesture controlled cloud computing systems and display products. Our technologies are used to create hands-free voice and gesture controlled wireless computing systems primarily worn on the head that include an optical pod featuring our proprietary miniature flat panel displays. Our systems include both commercially available software packages such as Microsoft Windows CE, Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking and Hillcrest Labs as well as our proprietary operating, noise cancellation and speech enhancement software. The systems we create are concept designs which we license to customers who wish to develop industrial and military products for sale to end customers. We licensed our first concept design in 2010 and our customer anticipates shipping products based on our technology in 2013. Through 2012 our revenues from licensing our Golden-i technologies has been de minimis.
Our display products consist of miniature, high performance, high resolution displays either sold separately or in various configurations with optical lenses and electronics contained in either plastic or metal housings. Current applications which include our miniature, high performance, high resolution display products are military devices, such as thermal weapon sights, and consumer devices such as digital cameras; devices that are capable of accessing the Internet using digital wireless devices and viewing data or video from other consumer electronics devices such as wireless handsets. When our display products are configured as spatial light modulators, the applications include industrial equipment for 3D Automated Optical Inspection and cinematography cameras.
We have two principal sources of revenues: product revenues and research and development (R&D) revenues. For the three months ended March 30, 2013, R&D revenues were $0.8 million or 12% of total revenues. This contrasted with $0.5 million, or 4% of total revenues, for the corresponding period in 2012.

The three month periods ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 are referred to as 2013 and 2012, respectively. The year ended period December 29, 2012 is referred to as fiscal year 2012.
Revenues. For the three month periods ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, our revenues, which include product sales and amounts earned from research and development contracts, were as follows (in millions):

Sales of our products for military applications declined in 2012 because of reduced demand from the U.S. government. Based on recently proposed federal budgets and discussions with our customers, we expect our revenues from sales of defense related products to the U.S. government to decline approximately $8 million to $10 million in our 2013 fiscal year. Our military products have higher profit margins than our other display products and have been a significant contributor to our overall profitability for the past several years. The U.S. government is projected to incur large budget deficits for the near future and is expected to reduce spending on military programs as part of the solution to decrease these deficits.
The increase in the Consumer Electronic Applications and other category is the result of an increase in sales of our products for digital still cameras. Our ability to forecast our revenues in this category is very difficult as sales of our product ultimately depend on how successful our customers are in promoting their digital still camera models. There are many digital still camera models offered by a number of large consumer electronics companies and it is a very competitive product category. In addition, we typically rebid to win this business each year. The increase in Research and Development revenues is the result of an increase in funding from the U.S. government. We are unable to predict the amount of funding for research and development by the U.S. government as it addresses its fiscal deficit issues.
In 2011, we began offering a headworn, voice and gesture controlled, hands-free cloud computing concept design that has an optical pod with a microdisplay. Our plan is to license concept designs and sell the optical pod. The concept design encompasses a number of different technologies including but not limited to voice and gesture control, noise cancellation, and web browsing. Some of the technologies included in the concept design we license from other companies. Customers may license only a subset of these technologies depending on whether they wish to develop a military, industrial or consumer product. We have entered into an agreement to license technology concept design and know-how to a company that is developing an industrialized product which they announced in 2012 and anticipate offering in 2013. The license is exclusive for the industrial market; non-exclusive for certain other markets and prohibits sales to other markets. Under the terms of the license we will sell an optical pod which includes our display, optics and a back light. License revenues and sales of components in 2013 and 2012 were de minimis and were primarily to demonstrate the product concept. We believe that in subsequent years our ability to develop and expand our technologies and to market and license our concept designs will be important for our revenue growth and ability to achieve profitability. Our concept designs have a significant software component and we have limited experience in developing software. The markets to which our concept designs are targeted already have a number of existing product offerings such as ruggedized lap-top computers and tablets. The companies that offer these products are significantly larger than we are. We expect to incur significant development and marketing costs in 2013 to commercialize concept designs. We currently expect revenue of between $18 million and $22 million for fiscal year 2013, however our ability to forecast revenues derived from Golden-i technology which may significantly impact our results of operations is very limited. We currently expect to have a consolidated net loss in the range of $15 million to $19 million in 2013, excluding the gain on the sale of our III-V product line and investment in KTC.
We have provided estimated 2013 revenue and net loss ranges in order for the investor to understand the impact of both the sale of our III-V product line and expected changes in our remaining business in 2013 as compared to 2012. However, we believe we have an opportunity to position ourselves in the growing wearable cloud computing market and therefore our primary focus in 2013 is on developing technology and products and establishing relationships, and not necessarily by achieving revenue, net loss or any other particular financial metric. Accordingly, our 2013 net losses may exceed our current estimates.
International sales represented 37% and 22% of product revenues for fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our international sales are primarily denominated in U.S. currency. Consequently, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar could increase

20

Table of Contents

the price in local currencies of our products in foreign markets and make our products relatively more expensive than competitors' products that are denominated in local currencies, leading to a reduction in sales or profitability in those foreign markets. In addition, our Korean subsidiary, Kowon, holds U.S. dollars in order to pay various expenses. As a result, our financial position and results of operations are subject to exchange rate fluctuation in transactional and functional currency. We have not taken any protective measures against exchange rate fluctuations, such as purchasing hedging instruments with respect to such fluctuations, because of the historically stable exchange rate between the Japanese yen, Korean won and the U.S. dollar.

Cost of product revenues, which is comprised of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead related to the production of our products increased as a percentage of revenues in 2013 as compared to 2012 due to a decrease in the sale of our display products for military applications, normal price declines and lower unit sales of our display products. Military products historically have had higher gross margins than commercial products.
Research and Development. Research and development (R&D) expenses are incurred in support of internal display development programs or programs funded by agencies or prime contractors of the U.S. government and commercial partners. In fiscal year 2013 our R&D expenditures will be related to our display products and Golden-i technologies. R&D revenues associated with funded programs are presented separately in revenue in the statement of operations. Research and development costs include staffing, purchases of materials and laboratory supplies, circuit design costs, fabrication and packaging of display products, and overhead. For fiscal years 2013 and 2012 R&D expense was as follows (in millions):

Other income and expense, net, is primarily composed of interest income, foreign currency transaction and remeasurement gains and losses incurred by our Korean and UK-based subsidiaries and (losses) gains resulting from the impairment or sale of investments. For the three months ended March 30, 2013 we recorded $0.2 million of foreign currency gains as compared to $0.1 million of foreign currency losses for the three months ended March 31, 2012. In the three months ended March 31, 2012 we recorded gains of $0.9 million on the sale of investments. During the three months ended March 30, 2013, the Company recorded an impairment of $2.5 million related to the write-off a cost based investment.
Equity Losses in Unconsolidated Affiliates. For the three months ended March 30, 2013 the equity losses in unconsolidated affiliates consists of our approximate 12% share of the losses of KoBrite. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 the equity losses is a result of our approximate 12% share of the losses of KoBrite and our 25% share of the losses of Ikanos.
Tax provision. For the three months ended March 30, 2013 we recorded a tax benefit of $13.0 million. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, intraperiod tax allocation provisions require allocation of a tax expense to the gain on discontinued operations based upon our statutory tax rate.  We have net operating loss carryforwards available to offset the tax expense. The benefit of these net operating loss carryforwards is reflected in the tax benefit from continuing operations.  Accordingly, we have recorded a tax expense in discontinued operations and a benefit in continuing operations of $13.1 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012 our $97,400 provision for income taxes is comprised of our estimated alternative minimum tax and state income tax liabilities on our domestic taxable earnings and estimated foreign taxes due on our Korean and UK-based subsidiaries' taxable earnings.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. We own approximately 93% of the equity of Kowon and approximately 51% of the equity of Ikanos. Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interest on our consolidated statement of operations represents the portion of the results of operations of our majority owned subsidiaries which is allocated to the shareholders of the equity interests not owned by us. The change in net income attributable to noncontrolling interest is the result of the change in the results of operations of Kowon for the three month periods ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 and Ikanos for the three month period ended March 30, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 30, 2013, we had cash and equivalents and marketable securities of $137.5 million and working capital of $136.3 million compared to $92.5 million and $106.8 million, respectively, as of December 29, 2012. The change in cash and equivalents and marketable securities was primarily due to cash provided by investing activities of $18.8 million partially offset by net outflow of cash by operating activities of $3.3 million.

We have no plans to repatriate the cash and marketable debt securities held in our foreign subsidiaries FDD and Ikanos and as such we have not recorded any deferred tax liability. In 2013, we expect the operations at our Korean facility, Kowon, to cease. Kowon has approximately $13.7 million of cash and marketable debt securities which we anticipate will eventually be remitted to the U.S. and accordingly we have recorded deferred tax liabilities associated with its unremitted earnings.
We lease facilities located in Westborough, Massachusetts, and Scotts Valley, California, under non-cancelable operating leases. The Westborough, Santa Clara and the Scotts Valley leases expire in 2023, 2016 and 2013, respectively.
We lease a facility in Dalgety Bay, Scotland which expires in 2016, and also lease two facilities in Nottingham, United Kingdom, which expire in 2016 and 2017.

We expect to expend between $2.0 million and $3.0 million on capital expenditures over the next twelve months.
We have entered into a product development agreement under which we have agreed to fund up to a remaining $0.8 million of development expenses if certain milestones are achieved. As of March 30, 2013 we have paid $3.2 million under this agreement.
In the first quarter of 2013, we acquired four patents for $1.8 million and hired the patents' inventor. Upon commencement of employment, we issued to the employee 400,000 shares of our common stock of which 100,000 shares were immediately vested and 300,000 shares will vest upon the achievement of certain milestones.
In April 2013, we acquired 51% of a private company for $400,000. We have an option to acquire an additional 25% of the company for $200,000. In connection with the investment we entered into a development agreement with the investee under which we will make payments to the investee of  up to $2.1 million if certain milestones are achieved.
Included in the $1.1 million of billings in excess of revenue earned on the consolidated balance sheet at March 30, 2013, is approximately $0.8 million which we received from the state of Massachusetts as an incentive to retain jobs in Massachusetts. We earn amounts under the agreement by meeting certain employment milestones each year and amounts not earned will be repaid to the state of Massachusetts at the end of the agreement in 2017. The agreement also contains repayment provisions which require us to repay certain amounts back to the state of Massachusetts if we fail to achieve certain employment milestones after years three and five of the agreement, or if we move certain parts of our operations out of the state. As a result of the sale of our III-V product line we do not anticipate earning any more amounts under the state grant agreement and we anticipate repaying the remaining amount to the state in 2013.
As of March 30, 2013, we had tax loss carry-forwards, which may be used to offset future federal taxable income. We may record a tax provision in our financial statements but we may be able to offset some or all of the amounts that are payable with our tax loss carry-forwards We may be subject to alternative minimum taxes, foreign taxes and state income taxes depending on our taxable income and sources of taxable income.
Historically we have financed our operations primarily through public and private placements of our equity securities. Over the past several years we have generated sufficient cash from operations to fund the business. We believe our available cash resources will support our operations and capital needs for at least the next twelve months.
Seasonality
There has been no seasonal pattern to our sales in fiscal years 2013 and 2012.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We invest our excess cash in high-quality U.S. government, government-backed (Fannie Mae, FDIC guaranteed bonds and certificates of deposit) and corporate debt instruments, which bear lower levels of relative risk. We believe that the effect, if any, of reasonably possible near-term changes in interest rates on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows should not be material to our cash flows or income. It is possible that interest rate movements would increase our unrecognized gain or loss on interest rate securities. Included in other assets are equity investments in Advanced Wireless Semiconductor Company (AWSC) and WIN Semiconductor Corp. of approximately $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, which are subject to changes in value because of either specific operating issues or overall changes in the stock market. We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates primarily through our translation of our foreign subsidiary's financial position, results of operations, and transaction gains and losses as a result of non U.S. dollar denominated cash flows related to business activities in Asia and Europe, and remeasurement of United States dollars to the functional currency of our U.K. and Kowon subsidiaries. We are also exposed to the effects of exchange rates in the purchase of certain raw materials which are in U.S. dollars but the price on future purchases is subject to change based on the relationship of the Japanese Yen to the U.S. dollar. We do not currently hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk. We estimate that any market risk associated with our international operations is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation. Our portfolio of marketable debt securities is subject to interest rate risk although our intent is to hold securities until maturity. The credit rating of our investments may be affected by the underlying financial health of the guarantors of our investments. We use silicon wafers but do not enter into forward or futures hedging contracts.
