LAKE FOREST, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 10,
2004--Liquidmetal(R) Technologies, Inc. (OTC:LQMT) has completed its
audits for 2001, 2002 and 2003 and filed its annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Investors can access the
10-K and other SEC filings via the Investor link on the Company's
website at http://ir.liquidmetal.com.
"In filing our 10-K for 2003, we have completed the most arduous
and time-consuming portion of our audit and restatement of prior
period results. Although the process took longer than expected due to
the untimely resignation of our former auditors and the inherent
complexities of conducting a three-year international audit, our
priority has been to thoroughly and completely resolve any revenue
recognition questions and ensure the integrity of the company's
financial results," commented John Kang, Chairman.
Liquidmetal and Stonefield Josephson Inc. ("Stonefield"), the
Company's independent auditor, are currently working on the review of
the Company's financial statements for the first three quarters of
2004. Given the substantial time and focus required to complete the
audits and restatement for 2001, 2002 and 2003, the Company has not
yet become current in its quarterly filings for 2004.
"With the 10-K hurdle finally behind us, we are committing all
available resources to the task of completing the quarterly review
process in order to file our 10-Qs for the three quarters of 2004 as
quickly as possible in the weeks ahead, and we look forward to hosting
a conference call to provide investors with a thorough discussion of
our year-to-date results once the quarterly filings are completed,"
Kang said.
As previously reported, the Company intends to host a conference
call with Q&A to discuss results for the nine-months ended September
30, 2004 and provide an update on current operations in conjunction
with the filing of its Form 10-Q for the third quarter 2004.
About Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc.
Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (http://www.liquidmetal.com) is the
leading developer, manufacturer, and marketer of products made from
amorphous alloys. Amorphous alloys are unique materials that are
characterized by a random atomic structure, in contrast to the
crystalline atomic structure possessed by ordinary metals and alloys.
Bulk Liquidmetal(R) alloys are two to three times stronger than
commonly used titanium alloys, harder than tool steel, and relatively
non-corrosive and wear resistant. Bulk Liquidmetal alloys can also be
molded into precision net-shaped parts similar to plastics, resulting
in intricate and sophisticated engineered designs. Liquidmetal
Technologies is the first company to produce amorphous alloys in
commercially viable bulk form, enabling significant improvements in
products across a wide array of industries. The combination of a super
alloy's performance coupled with unique processing advantages
positions Liquidmetal alloys for what the company believes will be The
Third Revolution(TM) in material science.
