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.
