NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
(numbers in thousands, except percentages, share and per share data)
(unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is a materials technology company that works with manufacturing and commercial partners to develop and commercialize products made from proprietary amorphous alloys. The Company’s family of alloys consists of a variety of bulk alloys and composites that utilize the advantages offered by amorphous alloys technology. The Company designs, develops, and sells products and custom parts from bulk amorphous alloys to customers in a wide range of industries. The Company also partners with third -party manufacturers and licensees to develop and commercialize Liquidmetal alloy products.
Amorphous alloys are, in general, unique materials that are distinguished by their ability to retain a random atomic structure when they solidify, in contrast to the crystalline atomic structure that forms in other metals and alloys when they solidify. Liquidmetal alloys are proprietary amorphous alloys that possess a combination of performance, processing, and potential cost advantages that the Company believes will make them preferable to other materials in a variety of applications. The amorphous atomic structure of bulk alloys enables them to overcome certain performance limitations caused by inherent weaknesses in crystalline atomic structures, thus facilitating performance and processing characteristics superior in many ways to those of their crystalline counterparts. The Company believes that the alloys and the molding technologies it employs may result in components, for many applications, that exhibit: exceptional dimensional control and repeatability that rivals precision machining, excellent corrosion resistance, brilliant surface finish, high strength, high hardness, high elastic limit, alloys that are non-magnetic, and the ability to form complex shapes common to the injection molding of plastics. Interestingly, all of these characteristics are achievable from the molding process, so design engineers often do not have to select specific alloys to achieve one or more of the characteristics as is the case with crystalline materials. The Company believes these advantages could result in Liquidmetal alloys supplanting high-performance alloys, such as titanium and stainless steel, and other incumbent materials in a wide variety of applications. Moreover, the Company believes these advantages could enable the introduction of entirely new products and applications that are not possible or commercially viable with other materials.
The Company’s revenues are derived from i) selling bulk Liquidmetal alloy products to customers who produce medical devices, automotive assemblies, sports and leisure goods, and non-consumer electronic devices, ii) selling tooling and prototype parts such as demonstration parts and test samples for customers with products in development, iii) product licensing and royalty revenue, and iv) research and development revenue. The Company expects that these sources of revenue will continue to significantly change the character of the Company’s revenue mix.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10 -Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the six months ended June, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods or the year ending December 31, 2025. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10 -K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 13, 2025.
Investments in Debt Securities
The Company will invest excess funds to maximize investment yield, while maintaining liquidity and minimizing credit risk. Debt securities are carried at fair value and consist primarily of investments in obligations of the United States Treasury, various U.S. and foreign corporations, and certificates of deposits. The Company classifies its investments in debt securities as available-for-sale with all unrealized gains or losses included as part of other comprehensive income. The Company evaluates its debt securities with unrealized losses on a quarterly basis for potential other-than-temporary impairments in value. As a result of this assessment, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses considered to be credit related for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Fair Value Measurements
The estimated fair values of financial instruments reported in the consolidated financial statements have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies, as applicable. The fair value of cash and restricted cash approximate their carrying value due to their short maturities and are classified as Level 1 instruments within the fair value hierarchy.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Entities are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value based upon the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 —
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 —
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 —
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
As of June 30, 2025, the following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Leases
The Company leases its manufacturing facility under a long-term contract, which is accounted for as an operating lease. The lease provides for a fixed base rent and variable payments comprised of reimbursements for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and common area maintenance. The lease has a term of 5 years ending on April 30, 2030. In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, lease income, which includes escalating rents over the term of the lease, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. The difference between lease income and payments received is recorded as a rent receivable, which is included as a prepaid expense in the consolidated balance sheets. Amounts paid for broker commissions represent prepaid direct lease costs and will be amortized as an off-set to lease income over the lease term.

On June 28, 2012, the Company adopted the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan ( “2012 Plan”), with the approval of the shareholders, which provided for the grant of stock options to officers, employees, consultants and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under this plan, the Company had outstanding grants of options to purchase 2,432,500 and 3,073,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The 2012 Plan expired in June 2022.
On January 27, 2015, the Company adopted its 2015 Equity Incentive Plan ( “2015 Plan”), which provided for the grant of stock options to officers, employees, consultants and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. A total of 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were available for issuance under the 2015 Plan. All options granted under the 2015 Plan had exercise prices that were equal to the fair market value on the dates of grant. Under this plan, the Company had outstanding grants of options to purchase 37,361,667 and 23,511,667 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The 2015 Plan expired in January 2025.
FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Under ASC 718, the Company is required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options and similar awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognize this cost in the income statement over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.
Stock based compensation expense attributable to these plans was $ 33 and $ 87 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $ 38 and $ 63 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility expected over the expected life of the options. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected forfeiture rates are determined based on historical forfeitures over a five -year period. The risk-free rate used for the period within the expected life of the options is based on U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of grant.

Overview
We are a materials technology company that works with manufacturing and commercial partners to develop and commercialize products made from our proprietary amorphous alloys. Our Liquidmetal® family of alloys consists of a variety of proprietary bulk alloys and composites that utilize the advantages offered by amorphous alloy technology. We design, develop, and sell custom products and parts from bulk amorphous alloys to customers in various industries. We also partner with third-party manufacturers and licensees to develop and commercialize Liquidmetal alloy products.
Amorphous alloys are, in general, unique materials that are distinguished by their ability to retain a random atomic structure when they solidify, in contrast to the crystalline atomic structure that forms in other metals and alloys when they solidify. Liquidmetal alloys are proprietary amorphous alloys that possess a combination of performance, processing, and potential cost advantages that we believe will make them preferable to other materials in a variety of applications. The amorphous atomic structure of bulk alloys enables them to overcome certain performance limitations caused by inherent weaknesses in crystalline atomic structures, thus facilitating performance and processing characteristics superior in many ways to those of their crystalline counterparts. We believe the alloys and the molding technologies we employ can result in components for many applications that exhibit exceptional dimensional control and repeatability that rivals precision machining, excellent corrosion resistance, brilliant surface finish, high strength, high hardness, high elastic limit, alloys that are non-magnetic, and the ability to form complex shapes common to the injection molding of plastics. All of these characteristics are achievable from the molding process, so design engineers often do not have to select specific alloys to achieve one or more of the characteristics as is the case with crystalline materials. We believe these advantages could result in Liquidmetal alloys supplanting high-performance alloys, such as titanium and stainless steel, and other incumbent materials in a wide variety of applications. Moreover, we believe these advantages could enable the introduction of entirely new products and applications that are not possible or commercially viable with other materials.
Our revenues are derived from i) selling our bulk amorphous alloy custom products and parts for applications which include, but are not limited to, non-consumer electronic devices, medical products, automotive components, and sports and leisure goods; ii) selling tooling and prototype parts such as demonstration parts and test samples for customers with products in development; and iii) product licensing and royalty revenue.
Our cost of sales consists primarily of the costs of manufacturing, which include raw alloy and direct labor costs. Selling, general, and administrative expenses currently consist primarily of salaries and related benefits, travel, consulting and professional fees, depreciation and amortization, insurance, office and administrative expenses, and other expenses related to our operations.
Research and development expenses represent salaries, related benefits expenses, consulting and contract services, expenses incurred for the design and testing of new processing methods, expenses for the development of sample and prototype products, and other expenses related to the research and development of Liquidmetal bulk alloys. Costs associated with research and development activities are expensed as incurred. We plan to enhance our competitive position by improving our existing technologies and developing advances in amorphous alloy technologies. We believe that our research and development efforts will focus on the discovery of new alloy compositions, the development of improved processing technology, and the identification of new applications for our alloys.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to our consolidated financial statements since these policies require significant judgment or involve complex estimates that are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and operating results:
•
Revenue recognition
•
Impairment of long-lived assets and definite-lived intangibles
•
Deferred tax assets
•
Share based compensation
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”) contains further discussions on our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Revenue and operating expenses
Revenue . Total revenue increased by $47 to $289 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $242 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was attributable to increase in product shipments primarily related to recurring customer orders and medical device orders.
Cost of Sales . Cost of sales was $212, or 73.4% of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $187, or 77.3% of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in our cost of sales was primarily driven by lower product revenues during Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2025. Once we are able to sustain and increase shipments of routine, commercial products and parts through our contract manufacturers, we expect our cost of sales percentages to decrease, stabilize, and be more predictable.
Gross Profit . Our gross profit increased by $22 from $55 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $77 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Our gross margin percentage increased slightly from Q2 2024 to Q2 2025. Our gross profit percentages have fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate based on production volumes and quoted production prices per unit and may not be representative of our future business. If we are able to sustain and increase shipments of routine, commercial products and parts through future orders to third party contract manufacturers, we expect our gross profit percentages to stabilize, increase, and be more predictable.
Selling, marketing, general, and administrative expenses . Selling, marketing, general, and administrative expenses increased by $70 to $927, or 320.8% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $857, or 354.1% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in expenses was primarily attributable to increase in payroll expenses, a one-time severance payment to an administrative staff, and stock compensation in Q2 2025 compared to Q2 2024.
Research and development expenses . Research and development expenses remained unchanged at $3, or 1.0% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and $5, or 2.1% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This was primarily due to continuing efforts to perform research and development on new Liquidmetal alloys and related processing capabilities, albeit on a reduced basis.
We continue to invest in our technology infrastructure to expedite the adoption of our technology, but we have experienced long sales lead times for customer adoption of our technology. Until that time when we can either (i) increase our revenues with shipments of routine, commercial products and parts through third party contract manufacturers or (ii) obtain significant licensing revenues, we expect to continue to have operating losses for the foreseeable future.

Non-operational income and expenses
Investment income . Investment income relates to realized gains earned from our investments in debt securities for the respective periods. Investment income was $5 and $34 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily due to higher overall yields on debt securities as a result of an increase in overall interest rate increases by the government and holding onto debt securities until maturity.
Interest income . Interest income relates to interest earned from our cash deposits and investments in debt securities for the respective periods. Interest income was $160 and $89 for three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily due to withdrawals from debt securities.
Lease income . Lease income relates to straight-line rental income received under the Facility Lease. Such amounts were $160 and $89 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the increase in lease income was due to our tenant signing a new lease agreement with higher base rents.
Net loss . Our annual net losses of $525 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and $260 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 are primarily reflective of operating expenses associated with our on-going business as well as non-operational income, discussed above.

Revenue and operating expenses
Revenue . Total revenue increased by $156 to $571 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $415 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was attributable to increase in product shipments primarily related to recurring customer orders and medical device orders.
Cost of Sales . Cost of sales was $416, or 72.9% of total revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $321, or 77.3% of total revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in our cost of sales was primarily driven by lower product revenues during Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2025. Once we are able to sustain and increase shipments of routine, commercial products and parts through our contract manufacturers, we expect our cost of sales percentages to decrease, stabilize, and be more predictable.
Gross Profit . Our gross profit increased by $61 from $94 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $155 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Our gross margin percentage increased slightly from Q2 2024 to Q2 2025. Our gross profit percentages have fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate based on production volumes and quoted production prices per unit and may not be representative of our future business.

Non-operational income and expenses
Investment income . Investment income relates to realized gains earned from our investments in debt securities for the respective periods. Investment income was $68 and $86 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily due to higher overall yields on debt securities as a result of an increase in overall interest rate increases by the government and holding onto debt securities until maturity.
Interest income . Interest income relates to interest earned from our cash deposits and investments in debt securities for the respective periods. Interest income was $342 and $430 for six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily due to withdrawals from debt securities.

Net loss . Our annual net losses of $1,093 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and $574 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are primarily reflective of operating expenses associated with our on-going business as well as non-operational income, discussed above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash used in operating activities
Cash used in operating activities totaled $579 and $143 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The cash was primarily used to fund operating expenses related to our business and product development efforts.
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities
Cash provided by investing activities totaled $186 and cash used in investing activities totaled $1,327 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Investing inflows primarily consist of proceeds from the sale of debt securities. Investing outflows primarily consist of purchases of debt securities.
Financing arrangements and outlook
We have a relatively limited history of selling bulk amorphous alloy products and components on a mass-production scale. Furthermore, the ability of future contract manufacturers to produce our products in desired quantities and at commercially reasonable prices is uncertain and is dependent on a variety of factors that are outside of our control, including the nature and design of the component, the customer’s specifications, and required delivery timelines. These factors have previously required that we engage in equity sales under various stock purchase agreements to support its operations and strategic initiatives.
However, as of June 30, 2025, we had $5,618 in cash, as well as $16,212 in investments in debt securities. We view this total of $21,830 as readily available sources of liquidity in the event needed to advance our existing strategy, and/or pursue an alternative strategy. As such, we anticipate that our current capital resources, when considering expected losses from operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations for the foreseeable future.
