LAKE FOREST, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2005--Liquidmetal(R) Technologies Inc. (OTC:LQMT) announced today that the winter sports division of Head NV (NYSE:HED) has added a Liquidmetal line of skis to be offered for the 2005/2006 ski season.

The ultimate energy return of the Liquidmetal alloy is incorporated within a Liquidmetal(R) jacket that covers the entire length of the ski core. Given the fact that the Liquidmetal alloy does not deform on impact, combined with the torsional stability of the HEAD Intelligence(TM) technology, designers are now able to offer a ski with increased response and power. Several of HEAD's ski lines will take advantage of the Liquidmetal technology, including Thang for women, XRC skicross, Worldcup racing, All-Mountain Cruising and Monster freeride.

HEAD first incorporated Liquidmetal technology in their tennis racquets two years ago, and they were recently voted #1 in product innovation by Fortune Magazine.

About Liquidmetal Technologies

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 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.
