Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

Good ! I did not attend but I didn't get anything from the other posts (including yours) about how many other / early ENGEL machines are out there and if they were royalty /commissionable.

**I called VPC directly and the guy I spoke to flatly stated they don't have any and don't use them - What do I know. Maybe Tom contradicted?

Per your earlier post MTRN could make up to 907,184 100-gram ingots per year at ~ $30 per = ~$30M in gross sales. MTRN said they expect to generate $10M in revenues in a year or so if memory serves.

What's that mean to Liquidmetal - Perhaps 5-10% to Liquidmetal if all are licensed ingots? $1.5 - $3M a year at full sales capacity?

If increased sales warrant it MTRN will up their production. Realistically, even with Paul's drive, it'll be some years before that $30M sales hits barring a miracle.

On the PLUS side, sales of licensed ingots leads to licensed parts at varying price points thru varying mfg. methods (in house, out sourced etc.) and qty. / size of part per ingot.

That's a $peculative math formula I don't want to tackle. Take out salary /overhead, MSR %, CLM mfg. %, it seems Liquidmetal needs to be MUCH more than a $20M annual sales company to break even.

Earlier this year Mr. Hipple @ MTRN said BMG alloy sales could go much better than projected, too. I'll listen to the CC tomorrow.
