Good afternoon. Welcome to the Liquidmetal Technologies Third Quarter Fiscal 2014 Conference Call. My name is Elise and I will be your conference operator this afternoon.

Joining us on today’s call are Liquidmetal’s President and CEO, Tom Steipp and CFO, Tony Chung. Following their remarks, we will open up the call for your questions.

Before we proceed, I would like to provide the Company’s Safe Harbor statement with important questions regarding forward-looking statements made during this call as follows. All statements made by management during this call that are not based on historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those made by Mr. Steipp and Mr. Chung regarding the Company’s cash, revenue outlook and technology development. While management has based any forward-looking statements made during the call on its current expectations, the information on which such expectations were based may change.

As new technological tools continue to be used in classrooms, the push for students to become experts in STEM increases. 

There are plenty of tools out there that teachers can use in their lessons “to reinforce theoretical concepts by demonstrating their real-world applications,” said an article on TheAtlantic.com.

“By showing students that the knowledge is relevant and useful, teachers can help them unlock new realms of creativity in all scientific realms and possibly change their future career trajectories,” the article said. The Atlantic then listed five technological tools that can help educators teach STEM. 

The first tool listed is 3-D printers. The article said “whether they’re used to create food, organs or mechanical parts, 3-D printers allow engineers to make their designs tangible and physical.”

“And that’s just what they can do for students, too; as 3-D printers have become less expensive and more ubiquitous, schools have begun integrating them into their science and engineering curriculums,” the article said. Students have used 3-D printers for projects ranging from dioramas of real or imagined constructions to engineering the fastest model car to reconstructing of eyeballs to better understand how they work.”

A second tool the article listed is the “flight simulator.”

“Charting points on a graph to understand negative and positive slope may not be the most engaging lesson for restless middle and high school students. But for some schools, high-tech flight simulators may do the trick. Kids can get in the cockpit of a simulated airplane to “fly” over cities and navigate the appropriate trajectory.
