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.

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,"

include: unforeseen events that could further delay completion of the company's
audit process; pending litigation against the company and its potential outcome;
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
