EXHIBIT A
Note 1
------
1. John H. Kang (Mr. "Kang") has the power to dispose of 4,483,957
shares of Liquidmetal Technologies common stock (which includes
1,935,485 shares that Mr. Kang has the right to acquire pursuant to
currently exercisable stock options). In addition, as explained below,
Mr. Kang has the power to direct the vote of an additional 4,945,567
shares of Liquidmetal Technologies common stock, which together give
Mr. Kang the power to direct the vote of 9,429,524 shares in the
aggregate.
2. The additional 4,945,567 shares reported in this Schedule 13G as
beneficially owned by Mr. Kang as a result of his power to direct the
vote of such shares include (i) 2,077,334 shares of Liquidmetal
Technologies common stock held as of 12/31/02 by The J. Holdsworth
Capital Ltd. 2003 Irrevocable Trust (the "Holdsworth Shares") and (ii)
2,868,233 shares of Liquidmetal Technologies common stock held as of
12/31/02 by The Wesley Investments, Inc. 2003 Irrevocable Trust (the
"Wesley Shares"). The Holdsworth Shares and the Wesley Shares also have
been reported in a separate Schedule 13G filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
3. On January 17, 2003, the trusts listed above were terminated and the
Holdsworth Shares were distributed to J. Holdsworth Capital Ltd.
("Holdsworth") and the Wesley Shares were distributed to Wesley
Investments, Inc. ("Wesley").
4. Holdsworth and Wesley each are owned by four shareholders, with each
such shareholder owning 25% of its outstanding stock. Mr. Kang is one
of the shareholders owning 25% of each of Holdsworth and Wesley.
5. As no single shareholder exercises veto power over Holdsworth's and
Wesley's actions, Mr. Kang does not have the power to direct the
disposition of the Holdsworth Shares and the Wesley Shares.
6. Mr. Kang is the sole officer and sole director of each of Holdsworth
and Wesley. Consequently, Mr. Kang has the power to direct the voting
of the Holdsworth Shares and the Wesley Shares, and beneficial
ownership of these shares has been attributed to Mr. Kang.
7. Tai H. Kang is the trustee of The John H. Kang 2003 Irrevocable
Trust (the "Kang Trust"):
A. The settlor of which is Mr. Kang; and
B. Which acquired 938,968 shares of Liquidmetal Technologies
common stock contributed by Mr. Kang.
8. Tai H. Kang has sole voting and investment power over the shares
held in the Kang Trust.
9. On January 31, 2003, the Kang Trust was terminated and distributed
to Mr. Kang 938,968 shares of Liquidmetal Technologies common stock.
Because Mr. Kang had the right to acquire all of the shares held by the
Kang Trust within 60 days of December 31, 2002, Mr. Kang also has
reported beneficial ownership over the shares held by the Kang Trust.
