Liquidmetal(R) Technologies Extends 10-K Filing
LAKE FOREST, CA, March 30, 2004--- Liquidmetal(R) Technologies, Inc.
(NASDAQ: LQMT) today said that it will not file its 2003 Annual Report on Form
10-K by March 30 as previously anticipated due to additional time required to
complete a previously announced review and analysis relating to the company's
restatement of results for certain prior periods.
The company said that, as a result of the previously announced
restatement process, it has not finalized the financial information to be
included in the Form 10-K and has not completed its audit for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2003. The company said it will file its Form 10-K as quickly
as possible after completing the restatement process.
About Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc.
- ------------------------------------
Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (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 RevolutionTM
in material science.

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" that involve risks and
uncertainties, including statements regarding our anticipated financial results
for 2002 and 2003, and forecasts for the first quarter of 2004, as well as our
plans, future events, objectives, expectations, forecasts, and the assumptions
on which those statements are based. Any statement in this press release that is
not a statement of historical fact is a forward-looking statement, and in some
cases, words such as "believe," "estimate," "project," "expect," "intend,"
"may," "anticipate," "plans," "seeks," and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from the
anticipated outcomes or result, and undue reliance should not be placed on these
statements. These risks and uncertainties include: the ongoing audit committee
investigation and any further adjustments that may be part of the restatement;
our limited operating history in developing and manufacturing products from bulk
amorphous alloys; the adoption of our alloys by customers; the commercial
success of our customer's products; our ability to identify, develop, and
commercialize new applications for our alloys; competition with suppliers of
incumbent materials; the development of new materials that render our alloys
obsolete; the ability to manage our anticipated growth; our limited direct
experience in manufacturing bulk alloy products; scaling-up our manufacturing
facilities; protecting our intellectual property; problems associated with
manufacturing and selling our alloys outside of the United States; and other
risks and uncertainties discussed in filings made with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (including risks described in subsequent reports on Form
10-Q, Form 10-K, Form 8-K, and other filings). Liquidmetal Technologies
