Opinions on LQMT

am 10.03.2006 23:00:17 von the_sarp

Does anyone know anything about this company?

Do they have an exclusive patent?

Will the ScanDisk deal be significant?

Opinions on LQMT's management?

Does it have significant competition?

Is it really necessary or economically feasible to house flash drives
in metal three times harder than titanium? Will customers pay the
extra?

opinions gratefully received

the sarp

P.S. this is a "stock" forum, not and "insult" forum. this specific
thread should hopefully be about LQMT.

carolyn:

you mean the company's own website?

we can certainly learn something about it there.

But we might not get the kind of objective analysis that a good
investor needs.

Theoretically, pooling our insights here might be one of the advantages
of a forum like this.

Do you know anything else about LQMT?

What about the yahoo msg boards?
Yeh lots of crap pro and con but you can at least get a feel for which
way the tree might fall.

I looked at their site and get a different view of their business than
you express. I have no idea how a liquid will fly.

revenue is on a sequential tear:

12/31/05 09/30/05 06/30/05 03/31/05

Revenue 5,453 4,342 3,727 2,843


and although they continue to lose $ thru operations:


Loss/
operations (2,568) (1,974) (5,409) (2,979)



because of the mysterious black art of accounting
(and from consistant benefits of exchange rate):

value of
warrants,
net 2,840 1,112 (100) 133

beneficial
conversion
feature 2,867 982 - -

Foreign
exchange
222 (306) 62 321


they've managed to become net positive

net per share
basic and diluted
0.04 (0.08) (0.15) (0.10)


really upbeat guidance as well:

John Kang, Chairman of Liquidmetal Technologies stated, "We are very
pleased with the revenue growth during the fourth quarter. Our 28% growth
exceeded the 20% growth that we had targeted at the company. We saw solid
development in our business as both segments of our business saw good
demand growth. This follows a solid third quarter growth as well. We are
very encouraged by our increased revenues and expect this trend to
continue. We experienced good growth in the orders from our key customers,
Samsung, SanDisk, Vertu and Motorola throughout the quarter. The most
significant of the orders was the order for antennas from Motorola. This
was a project that we have been working on for close to a year. We finally
received the purchase order and put it into production in December. This
marks a new major product category for us. We expect an increase in
business as these key customers will be continuing with the projects they
currently have and will be adding new projects in the coming quarters."

Bulk Alloy revenues were $3.5 million for the fourth quarter compared to
$2.8 million in the third quarter, an increase of $0.7 million, which is
primarily attributable to the introduction of new products by its
customers. Loss before interest expense, discontinued operations,
impairment of long lived assets and expensing of options was $0.3 million
compared to $0.6 million in the prior quarter.

Coatings revenues were $2.0 million for the fourth quarter compared to $1.5
million in the prior quarter, showing growth of 33% in business. Income
before interest expense and discontinued operations was $0.6 million
compared to $0.4 million in the prior quarter, which also shows stable
profitability.

During the quarter, selling general and administrative costs was $2.0
million compared to $2.4 million in the third quarter, a decrease of $0.4
million or 17%. This decrease was due primarily to company's efforts to
manage costs. Research and development costs came in at $0.3 million
compared to $0.2 million in the third quarter.

The Company had a loss from operation of $2.6 million in the fourth quarter
vs $2.0 for the third quarter, an increase of $0.6 million which was due to
an impairment charge of $1.1 million for inventory of raw material which is
not expected to be used within the next 12 months.

While having an operating loss, the company had a net income of $1.7
million in the fourth quarter compared to a net loss of $2.3 million in the
third quarter. This was mainly due to an accounting treatment for the
beneficial conversion feature of the convertible notes issued in the third
quarter of this year. Accounting for this feature will also cause a
positive restatement to the third quarter financial results of $1.0 million
which will be amended to reflect this item.

Have you?

If so, how did it help you?

You are bullish on the stock, so what did you learn?

if only accounting magic gave them a net gain, this is not a hopeful
sign.

May I ask you why some of your figures are in parentheses?

This is a junk stock traded in the back offices. LQMT.OB
Let us know when and if you care to discuss anything other than penny
stocks, bankrupt companies, and toilet paper.

Try one of the FIVE ( 5 ) penny stock groups as yahoo does not even
have a message board for this crap. You might also try contacting the
company if you can get off your ass. What do we look like. Your
personal gopher?

F. U.

There is that direct enough for you?

Gaud I love it when someone knows every thing. The company web site may
have pointers to there fillings with the SEC, there could be some facts
of interest posted, you might get a fair idea of what the company does,
over all it does not sound like a bad place to start an investigation.

Don, Unfortunately that requires non physical effort which is shunned
in HS in favor of rope climbing in the gym.
