Liquidmetal Technologies reported fiscal-year revenue of $0.784 million and a net loss of $2.342 million, reflecting weaker product shipments and operating pressures; gross profit rose modestly with an improved margin. The results show tightening sales volumes in its product lines while operating costs increased due to travel, legal matters and joint-venture startup expenses. Management is advancing a Hangzhou manufacturing joint venture aimed at building full production capability by 2026.
