As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 7, 2024, Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed BF Borgers CPA PC (“BF Borgers”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. As noted in the Commission’s Staff Statement on Issuer Disclosure and Reporting Obligations in Light of Rule 102(e) Order against BF Borgers CPA PC, which was disseminated by the SEC on May 3, 2024, BF Borgers is not currently permitted to appear or practice before the Commission. Further, as previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 9, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the engagement of M&K CPAs, PLLC (“M&K”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

The Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024 cannot be filed within the prescribed time period because the Company requires additional time to prepare and complete the review of its financial statements in view of the above-described auditor termination and new auditor engagement. The Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be filed on or before the 5th calendar day following the prescribed due date.
