LiquidMetal Tech mentioned in section [0080] of patent reporting. Is this manufacturing method old news? Cost effective?

boy you are really laying it on thick!
That sounds logical, they have to have some wow factor to report on for the Q2 reporting. i.e. X # of RFP like in the past.
Please show revenue growth and that will be the wow factor to propel forward.
A lot of hot air loose predictions have taken place by many in 2018. At some point the spitball will stick! A Q2 reporting with positive strides in revenue would be a factual start.
I agree with your NI logic in theory. But don't say that to Tesla stockholders with their negative earnings.
I should have invested more in Real Estate. Hehe
That revenue level for Q2 would be a positive since your top end figure is more than all of last year. I HOPE your right.
Maybe the contest shouldn't be when the PPS hits a certain price but what the Qtrly revenue will be! Will it be a dismal $50K, $100K, or something higher like $500K or $1mill. My guess is it continues to elude us and remain none existent with little news. So we wait!
Soon we will know in a little over 2 weeks! By August 8-10th ish.
I guess no takers until 2019 or beyond. Revenue brings higher PPS.
ConMed, Zyris, who else?
Customers
During 2017, there were five major customers, who together accounted for 63% of our revenue. During 2016, there were three major customers, who
together accounted for 73% of our revenue. During 2015, there were three major customers, who together accounted for 52% of our revenue. As of
December 31, 2017, three customers represented 84%, or $131,000, of the total outstanding trade accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2016, two
customers represented 100%, or $95,000, of the total outstanding trade accounts receivable. In the future, we expect that a significant portion of our
revenue may continue to be concentrated in a limited number of customers, even if our bulk alloys business grows.
Maybe we should look at LQMT success in profiting from CE and Apple by using percentages. It surely isn't 0% as you predict and it may not be 100% but somewhere in between and then we will all feel better.
You should provide these abundant current facts on LQMT to give newbies the idea they should invest. Then we would all be excited, me included, and not the ....do your DD commentary. Maybe I haven't found something I should have!
By the way, I wish I could "Buy the way" to some real facts (rather than crickets and possibilities) from LQMT in the present rather than at Q reporting.
Your "very strong possibility" optimism does compute with me. Who are the contract manufacturers of high volume manufacturing that Eontec/Liquidmetal use and who are they also in joint ventures with on this so called CE manufacturing?
I think it's a strong possibility that at the end of 2016 something will happen in 2017, no wait it will happen in 2018, no wait now we hypothesize it to be 2019. Heck maybe it will be NEVER kind of like someone's prediction on the $0.60 PPS predictions we all took part in.
The never ending prediction that we all want to be fact. :(
Thank you so much
Completely agree with your historical perspective. I too have been around for a long time (8 yrs). And now I'm kicking myself as I should have held blue chips as I would have tripled or quadrupled my investment by now conservatively. Even if that amount would have only been $200-$300K it would be money in the bank. Mother time is not standing still for me and 2018 better bear fruit for LQMT or I'll move on.
If I was younger I'd let it ride. Compounding is a wonderful thing and thank goodness I started young as I was religious with my 401K and other investments. This is the only penny stock I have continued to hold. Again, shame on me.
PS:
I don't believe many here bought all their shares at $.06, sold all at $.44, bought all at $.19, sold all at $.28, etc....... over the last 5 years. If they did they are great traders. When in Vegas you hear about those that won big but you never hear that they also lost big as well. Those shiny buildings don't get built by losing money.
PSS: I'm still in the money but it's not what you would call impressive
Still a glimmer of hope in 2018. Not waiting till 2020 as I've heard enough of the it's just around the corner. :)
I can't remember now if others on this board have said Liquidmetal Coatings LLC is under the umbrella of Liquidmetal Technologies or not but the below patent was just published.
http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=%2220180171446%22.PGNR.&OS=DN/20180171446&RS=DN/20180171446
They need to have something in the 2Q 10Q to fill the commentary.... even though this was already talked about in Q1 Blog. I would expect 1 - 2 more highlights to come out before the Qtr end. Hopeuflly they are bigger than this.
Commentary on Mar28th
"Look for additional information about this project on our website soon."
I guess from Mar28th to Jun19th is considered SOON. 2 1/2 months...come on!
Show us some 4x - 10x - XXx revenue increase and we will be impressed!
The COO also stated they were nearing their 90 day sales plan in that commentary...... which would be the end of Q1/beginning of Q2 so I'm sure you expect to see spike in revenue results in Q2 if "Liquidmetal meets these requirements". Correct? Or are we 1,2,3,4 Qtrs away again? Or is it really going to be 2020?
I don't want sales intensity but sales, I don't want customer interest but customer sales fulfilled and revenue earned, I don't want to hear you're passing your audits but a staff that is following their own ISO processes they created and documented. etc......
I guess we will find out what level of commentary will be reported for Q2 around August 10th. Hopefully it is more significant than the previous Qtr's below.
As Jack N. (LQMT) say's "I don't give a bleep what you think you are entitled to". Nobody is holding us prisoner to this stock but ourselves.
Maybe he needed a LQMT tire pressure sensor! Badaboom!
"When he finally did get on the track, a vibration forced him right back to the pits. It turned out to be the tire pressure sensor, and Hinchcliffe never got another shot."

Here's a shot in the dark... no pun intended... but maybe the opportunity for liquidmetal canards in a MHTK missile will happen in early 2019. Not holding my breath11

Current and LT liabilities increased, Rev dropped Q1'18 vs Q4'17. No licensing or royalty revenue in Q1'18. What is happening?
Did they have no sales in Q1'18 and just collect their outstanding trade receivables? Receivables dropped Qtr vs Qtr from 157 to 37. 1.5M cash burn! I was expecting more. I guess we wait til Aug9th or Nov9th for next Q reporting. Bahumbug
Tell me I'm wrong and the current contracts will produce more.

That very well may be when they report. Fireworks maybe tomorrow after close. They just have to report no later than the 10th. Doesn't mean you can't report early as history has shown!
FACT
SEC reporting deadline is the 10th as I stated for an accelerated filer (what they reported in their 10-K for 2017 year end). If they changed to a non-accelerated filer then the deadline would be no later than the 15th.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=140567237
No later than Thursday of this week. :)
SEC deadline is 40 days from Qtr close for Large accelerated filer and accelerated filer, 45 days for non-accelerated filer.
And if this 10-Q is a nothing burger we wait for no later than Aug 9th and Nov 9th for the next two quarterly reporting. I'm sure we all would hope to hear about more SEC reporting's in between besides just the financials. If not my guess is many will be invested elsewhere.
LQMT has to file their 10-Q no later than May 10th.
They report their financials on a calendar basis (not fiscal) and they are an accelerated filer per their 2017 year end reporting.
Form 10-K is due 60 days, 75 days and 90 days after the fiscal year end for large accelerated filers, accelerated filers and non-accelerated filers, respectively. Form 10-Q is due 40 days after the fiscal quarter end for large accelerated and accelerated filers and 45 days after the fiscal quarter end for non-accelerated filers.
Just for reference. When they filed their 2017 Year end reporting (10-K) they reported on Mar 6th, 2018. That was 65 days after their year ended. 75 days was the deadline.
My opinion.....you can file earlier with no issues but you better not miss the deadline or something hits the fan and it usually stinks! An extension in my opinion is most often not good.
I stand corrected. My fading hope is getting the best of me.
Suppliers in Miscellaneous Fabricated Products Industry. Sorry
https://csimarket.com/stocks/suppliers_glance.php?code=TSLA
Under the category of suppliers in Miscellaneous products industry
Am I not reading this correctly?
We are already listed as a supplier of Tesla and the price is already taking that into consideration.
Apple may not be in the business of buying manufacturers but you know darn well they do whatever it takes to minimize demand delays. TCook was COO and was Job's supply chain man guru years ago so I'm sure he does whatever it takes to get tooling or manufacturing equipment in the right locations. Hopefully LQMT can benefit if we ever show we are worthy.
Apple's latest 10Q.
"Manufacturing Purchase Obligations
The Company utilizes several outsourcing partners to manufacture sub-assemblies for the Company’s products and to perform final assembly and testing of finished products. These outsourcing partners acquire components and build product based on demand information supplied by the Company, which typically covers periods up to 150 days. The Company also obtains individual components for its products from a wide variety of individual suppliers. As of March 31, 2018, the Company expects to pay $27.1 billion under manufacturing-related supplier arrangements, substantially all of which is noncancelable.
Other Purchase Obligations
The Company’s other purchase obligations consist of noncancelable obligations to acquire capital assets, including product tooling and manufacturing process equipment, and noncancelable obligations related to advertising, licensing, R&D, internet and telecommunications services and other obligations. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had other purchase obligations of $8.6 billion."
Giddy up Jack! Come on go all out with Dream Baby Dream 66-1. Kind of like LQMT! Sorry off LQMT topics
Believe me, I wouldn't be here if I wished that potential PR to be true. I don't want it to be true (only footnote true).
Of course I want them to report revenue from production and not prototypes. That's why I'm here!
The horse will be retired to stud if not (who will win the Kentucky Derby this year?
Don't look now but you'all are providing them with their earth shattering Qtrly PR.
1. we completed the electrical upgrade - we now have the capability to increase manufacturing as needed
2. we attended 2 - 3 trade shows within the last Qtr and had many additional RFP's.
3. we have a great opportunity to grow our customer relationships using Eontec/China Gov't.
4. you fill in the blank for other non revenue generating PR.
How about telling us you signed X number of contracts and we are currently in revenue generating production and that will be seen immediately and in future Qtrs. That would be good! Rrrrrr rant done
lack marketing expertise?

If so, why wouldn't this event and future events be identified on their website so interested parties could attend if desired? Or maybe I'm not seeing it on their website!
Would a product like this ever include LQMT?

Maybe when the Qtrly revenue passes the annual salary of some of the big wigs will it be important to know who the 5 or 10 or 100 customers are who we sell to. Ya think?
