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.
