1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is a materials technology and manufacturing company focused on the development and commercialization of products made from proprietary amorphous alloys and/or utilizing proprietary amorphous alloy manufacturing technologies. In addition to developing the Company’s manufacturing facility through our subsidiary in China, the Company works withthird-party manufacturing and commercial partners to develop and commercial products made from proprietary amorphous alloys.
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* mayresult 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 donot* have to select specific alloys to achieveone 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 arenot 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, robotic components, 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 thesix months ended* June 30, 2026and2025* 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 Form10-Q. Accordingly, they donot 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 thesix months ended* June 30, 2026arenot* necessarily indicative of the results that* maybe expected for any future periods or the year ending December 31, 2026.The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's2025* Annual Report on Form10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on* March 12, 2026.*
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 available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position at each reporting date to determine whether a credit loss exists. If the Company intends to sell a security, or it is more likely thannot that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through earnings. Otherwise, any credit-related impairment is recognized through an allowance for credit losses, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds fair value, with any remaining unrealized loss recognized in other comprehensive income. Based on this assessment, the Company didnot recognize an allowance for credit losses on its available-for-sale debt securities for thesix months ended* June 30, 2026and2025.*

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 Level1 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, 2026,*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:
| Fair Value · Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Investments in debt securities (short-term) | $6,511 | $5,937 | $574 | $ | - |
| Investments in debt securities (long-term) | 4,070 | 2,682 | 1,388 | - | |
As of* December 31, 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:
| FairValue | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Investments in debt securities (short-term) | 4,917 | 4,817 | 100 | - |
| Investments in debt securities (long-term) | 7,606 | 5,481 | 2,125 | - |
Operating Leases
The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic842, Leases (“ASC842”) which requires the recognition of the right-of-use assets and relating operating and finance lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Under ASC842, all leases are required to be recorded on the balance sheet and are classified as either operating leases or finance leases. The lease classification affects the expense recognition in the income statement. Operating lease charges are recorded entirely in operating expenses. Finance lease charges are split, where amortization of the right-of-use asset is recorded in operating expenses and an implied interest component is recorded in interest expense.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company has operations in China. The Company's foreign subsidiaries maintain their accounting records in their respective local currencies, which are their functional currencies. For consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from the consolidation of foreign operations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders' equity.
Other Recent Pronouncements
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA and the SEC didnot or arenot believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
