Liquidmetal® Technologies Reports Revenue of $0.2 Million for the Second Quarter Ended 2012

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14, 2012-- Liquidmetal® Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: LQMT) today announced its financial results for the three months ended June 30th 2012. The Company reported revenues of $0.2 million and closed out the second quarter with an operating loss of $7.4 million which included a one-time, non-cash expense of $6.3 million of manufacturing contract costs.

Mr. Tom Steipp, President and CEO, commented, “Second Quarter 2012 represents a significant milestone in our march to commercialize Liquidmetal alloys. Our technology is stable and we have begun to deliver prototype parts. Our partners, Materion for alloy supply and Visser Precision Cast for manufacturing, are solidly in place. Now with the capital raise behind us, we are in a position to accelerate sales and marketing initiatives which will begin to expand the beachheads that we made with early customers in a variety of application segments.”
