SUPERCONDUCTIVE COMPONENTS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Business Organization and Purpose
Superconductive Components, Inc. (the Company) is an Ohio corporation that was
incorporated in May 1987. The Company was formed to develop, manufacture and sell materials
using superconductive principles. Operations have since been expanded to include the
manufacture and sale of non-superconductive materials. The Companys domestic and
international customer base is primarily in the thin film battery, high temperature
superconductor, photonics and optical coatings industries.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim
financial information and with instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary
for fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been
included. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005. Interim results are
not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Equipment purchased with grant funding
In 2004, the Company received funds of $517,935 from the Ohio Department of Developments
Third Frontier Action Fund (TFAF) for the purpose of purchasing equipment related to the
grants purpose. The Company elected to record the funds received as a liability; therefore,
the equipment is not reflected in the Companys financial statements. As equipment was
purchased, the liability initially created when the cash was received was reduced with no
revenue recognized or equipment recorded on the balance sheet. In 2005 the Company
purchased equipment in the amount of $25,945 that was reimbursed by TFAF in the first
quarter of 2006. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had disbursed the entire amount
received. The grant provides that as long as the Company performs in compliance with the
grant, the Company retains the rights to the equipment. Management anticipates that the
Company will be in compliance with the requirements of the grant and, therefore, expects to
retain the equipment at the end of the grant in 2007.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements pertaining to research and
development have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Stock Based Compensation
During 2005 the Company accounted for stock based compensation using the intrinsic value
method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (SFAS 123), which established accounting
and disclosure requirements using a fair value based methodology. SFAS 123 allowed the
intrinsic value method to be used, and required disclosure of the impact to the financial
statements of utilizing the intrinsic value versus the fair value based method on a pro
forma basis, as set forth in the table below. For all periods prior to January 1, 2006, the
Company utilized the fair value method as provided for in SFAS 123 to account for stock
based compensation to non-employees.
The Companys pro forma information for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 is provided below. For purposes of pro forma
disclosures, stock based compensation was amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over
the vesting period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, there was no stock based employee
compensation cost included in the determination of net loss as reported.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123
(Revised), Shared Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R replaced SFAS 123, and superseded
APB Opinion No. 25. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS 123R and related interpretations using the
modified-prospective transition method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized in
the first nine months of 2006 includes (a) compensation cost for all stock-based awards
granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair
value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and (b) compensation
cost for all stock-based awards granted on or subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the
grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Stock based
compensation expense recognized for the nine

months ended September 30, 2006 was $5,744, which is included in the operating expenses in
the accompanying statements of operations.
In December 2005, the Board of Directors approved the acceleration of vesting of unvested
stock options previously awarded to employees and officers of the Company. As a result of
this action, options to purchase 149,500 shares of common stock that would otherwise have
vested over the next one to five years became fully vested. The decision to accelerate the
vesting of these options was considered to be in the best interest of the Companys
shareholders and was made primarily to reduce non-cash compensation expense that would have
been recorded in future periods following the adoption of FAS 123R.
Note 3. Common Stock and Stock Options
The following stock options were granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan during the nine

The exercise prices for all outstanding stock options ranged from $1.00 to
$4.00 at September 30, 2006. The weighted average option price for all options
outstanding is $2.26 with a weighted average remaining contractual life of 6.5
years.
The weighted average fair values at date of grant for all options granted during
2006 and 2005 were $3.03 and $2.28, respectively, and were estimated using the
Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average
assumptions:

Due to minimal historical exercise data, the Company used the option contract
term as the expected life. The approximate interest rate was based on the implied
yield available on U.S. Treasury bills. The Company used the historical price
volatility of the Companys stock price beginning in 2000 for purposes of
determining the expected volatility factor. The Company does not expect to pay
dividends on its common stock; therefore, a dividend yield of zero was used in the
model.

Note 5. Earnings Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated as income available to
common stockholders divided by the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as
diluted income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by
the diluted weighted average number of common shares. Diluted
weighted average number of common shares has been calculated using
the treasury stock method for Common Stock equivalents, which
includes Common Stock issuable pursuant to stock options and
Common Stock warrants. At September 30, 2005, all Common Stock
options and warrants were anti-dilutive due to the net loss. The
following is provided to reconcile the earnings per share
calculations:

Note 6. Capital Requirements
The Companys accumulated deficit since inception was $8,134,004 (unaudited) at September
30, 2006. The losses have been financed primarily from additional investments and loans by
major shareholders and private offerings of common stock and warrants to purchase common
stock. The Company cannot assure that it will be able to raise additional capital in the
future to fund its operations.
As of September 30, 2006, cash on-hand was $1,368,743. Management believes, based on
forecasted sales and expenses, that funding will be adequate to sustain operations at least
through September 30, 2007. During 2005 the Company raised additional funds through offerings of debt and equity. The Company received debt financing of $300,000 in 2005. Of
this $300,000 received, $100,000 was repaid to the lender and $200,000 was converted into shares of the Companys common stock in 2005.

Note 6. Capital Requirements (continued)
In November of 2004 a director agreed to loan the Company up to $200,000 for working
capital, to be drawn by the Company in increments of $50,000. The interest rate was
Huntington National Banks prime rate plus 2%, which accrued and compounded monthly. The
loan was secured by the Companys assets and perfected by the filing of a UCC-1 financing
statement. For each $50,000 increment drawn on the loan the director received 5,000
warrants to purchase the Companys common stock, without par value, at a purchase price of
$2.50 per share and exercisable until November 1, 2009. The loan was drawn on the following
schedule: November 3, 2004, $100,000; January 7, 2005, $50,000; and April 1, 2005, $50,000.
The loan balance (principal and accrued interest) was repaid in October 2005 and the UCC-1
financing statement was terminated.
In April of 2005, the same director who agreed to provide a loan to the Company in November
2004, agreed to provide an additional $200,000 convertible secured loan to the Company for
working capital. The interest rate of 10% accrued and compounded monthly. The loan was
drawn on the following schedule: April 14, 2005, $100,000; and May 20, 2005, $100,000.
Because the Company completed equity financing of at least $500,000 during the fourth
quarter of 2005, the principal and accrued interest totaling $209,110 automatically
converted on the same basis as the new financing to 104,555 shares of common stock ($2.00
per share) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 26,139 shares of the Companys common
stock at a purchase price of $3.00 per share exercisable until October 2010.
In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company completed a private placement to accredited
investors. The investors purchased 986,555 shares of common stock at a price of $2.00 per
share and warrants to purchase an additional 246,639 shares of common stock at $3.00 per
share until October 14, 2010. The Company received $1,386,000 in cash from certain investors
for 693,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 173,250 shares of Common Stock.
Four other investors cancelled indebtedness owed by the Company in the aggregate amount of
$587,110 in exchange for 293,555 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 73,389
shares of common stock. The indebtedness cancelled was as follows: (i) the Estate of Edward
R. Funk cancelled indebtedness of $188,411.71 in exchange for 94,000 shares of common stock,
warrants to purchase 23,500 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share exercisable until
October 2010, and payment of $411.71; (ii) the Estate of Ingeborg V. Funk cancelled
$100,980.21 of indebtedness in exchange for 50,000 shares of common stock, warrants to
purchase 12,500 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share exercisable until October 2010,
and payment of $980.21; (iii) Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur LLP (PWMA) cancelled $90,000
of indebtedness for legal fees in exchange for 45,000 shares of common stock and warrants to
purchase an additional 11,250 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share exercisable until
October 2010; and (iv) a director cancelled $209,110 of a secured loan in exchange for
104,555 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 26,139 shares of
common stock at $3.00 per share exercisable until October 2010 (as described in preceding
paragraph).

SUPERCONDUCTIVE COMPONENTS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 6. Capital Requirements (continued)
The Company has incurred substantial operating losses through September 30, 2006, and
numerous factors may make it necessary for the Company to seek additional capital. In order
to support the initiatives envisioned in its business plan, the Company may need to raise
additional funds through public or private financing, collaborative relationships or other
arrangements. Its ability to raise additional financing depends on many factors beyond its
control, including the state of capital markets, the market price of its common stock and
the development or prospects for development of competitive products by others. Because the
common stock is not listed on a major stock exchange, many investors may not be willing or
allowed to purchase it or may demand steep discounts. The necessary additional financing
may not be available or may be available only on terms that would result in further dilution
to the current owners of the common stock.

Executive Summary
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company had revenues of $2,064,497. This
was an increase of $1,043,286, or 102.2%, over the three months ended September 30, 2005.
The third quarter revenue for 2006 was a record and the fifth consecutive quarter that
product revenue exceeded $1,000,000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company had revenues of $4,423,554. This
was an increase of $2,113,749, or 91.5%, over the same period in 2005.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded net income applicable to
common shares of $8,463 compared to a net loss of $(319,595) for the same period in 2005.
The Company adopted SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006. SFAS 123R requires compensation
costs related to share based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial
statements. Included in expenses for 2006 is non-cash compensation expense to employees
related to the granting of stock options. This expense totaled $5,744 through September 30,
2006. The net income applicable to common shares would have been $14,207 through September
30, 2006 without this expense. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Deprecation and
Amortization (EBITDA) was $165,542 during the nine months ending September 30, 2006 versus
$(80,662) during the same period last year.
Orders received in the third quarter of 2006 were $3,532,000, which was $2,528,000 or 251.8%
more than the third quarter of 2005. Orders received in the first nine months of 2006
totaled $7,253,000, which was $4,769,000, or 192.0% higher than the same period in 2005.
The orders received through September 2006 exceeded the amount of orders received for all of
2005, which was $3,459,000. The growth in orders is primarily due to increased demand from
current customers coupled with business from new customers.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine months ended September 30, 2006 (unaudited) compared to nine months ended September 30,
2005 (unaudited):
Revenues
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $4,423,554, compared to
$2,309,805, for the same period last year, an increase of $2,113,749 or 91.5%.
Product revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased to $4,381,462, from
$2,064,122 for the same period last year, or an increase of 112.3%. The increase in
revenues for the first nine months of 2006 was due to the return of a major customer and the
addition of another major customer following the receipt by the Company of ISO 9001:2000
certification in the second quarter of 2005. Also, the addition of other new customers
since the third quarter of 2005 has contributed to increased revenues. Revenues included
the ongoing purchase of commodities whose prices have historically experienced periods of
significant fluctuation. These changes are regularly reflected in the Companys selling
prices.
Contract research revenues were $42,092 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as
compared to $245,683 for the same period last year. The decrease was due to the completion
of work performed on a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research grant for $523,612 from
the United States Department of Energy that was awarded in 2003. This award was to develop
an

advanced method to manufacture continuous reacted lengths of High Tc Superconductor: Bismuth
Strontium Calcium Copper Oxide 2212 Wire. The work on this contract was completed in
2005. Revenues of $0 and $231,738 from this grant were included in the first nine months of
2006 and 2005, respectively.
The Company received notification in 2005 from the United States Department of Energy of a
Notice of Financial Assistance Award in the amount of $99,793. This award provided support
for Phase I of an SBIR entitled Feasibility of Cost Effective, Long Length, BSCCO 2212
Round Wires, for Very High Field Magnets Beyond 12 Tesla at 4.2 Kelvin. The work on the
contract has been completed. Revenues for this award of $42,092 were recognized during the
first nine months of 2006 and $57,701 in revenues were recognized in the second half of
2005.
Gross Margin
Total gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $1,022,520, or 23.1% of
total revenue, compared to $640,497, or 27.7% of total revenue, for the same period of 2005.
Gross margin on product revenue was 22.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006,
versus 23.1% for the same period of 2005. The slight decline was due to product mix of
higher value product with lower gross margin commodities. Gross margin on contract research
revenue was 58.6% and 66.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The decrease was due to the completion of the Phase II grant.
Selling Expense
Selling expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased to $210,162, from
$167,518 for the same period of 2005, an increase of 25.5%. The increase was due to the
implementation of an incentive compensation program.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased to
$667,013, from $560,487 for the same period of 2005, an increase of 19.0%. The increase was
due to increased wages, higher public relations and legal expenses and implementation of an
incentive compensation program.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $144,974,
compared to $146,817 for the same period of 2005, a decrease of 1.3%. The slight decrease
was due to a change in focus from R&D to manufacturing Photonics products.
Interest Income and Expense
Interest income was $32,501 and $1,473 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, respectively. This was due to an increase in cash from the private equity placement
in the fourth quarter of 2005 and also an increase in revenues during the fourth quarter of
2005 and the first nine months of 2006.
Interest expense was $10,367 and $67,402 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, respectively. Interest expense to related parties was $0 and $64,263 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, and 2005, respectively. The decrease was due to the
elimination of interest expense to related parties on a note that was repaid, and another
note that converted to equity in October of 2005.

INCOME (LOSS) APPLICABLE TO COMMON SHARES
Income (loss) applicable to common shares was $8,463 and $(319,595) for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net income (loss) per common share based
on the income (loss) applicable to common shares for the nine months ended September 30,
2006 and 2005 was $0.00 and $(0.13), respectively. The income
(loss) applicable to common shares includes the net income (loss) from operations and the accretion of Series B
preferred stock dividends. The net income (loss) per common share before dividends on
preferred stock was $.01 and $(0.12) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.
Dividends on the Series B preferred stock accrue at 10% annually on the outstanding shares.
Accrued dividends on the Series B preferred stock totaled $18,888 and $18,889 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Basic earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $0.00 per
share with 3,425,937 average common shares outstanding as compared to $(0.13) per share and
2,448,906 weighted average common shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30,
2005.
Diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $0.00
per share with 3,946,035 average common shares outstanding as compared to $(0.13) per share
and 2,448,906 weighted average common shares outstanding for the nine months ended September
30, 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, all outstanding common stock
equivalents were anti-dilutive due to the net loss.
The following schedule represents the outstanding common shares of the Company during the
period of 2006 through 2016 assuming all outstanding stock options and stock warrants are
exercised during the year of expiration. If each shareholder exercises his or her options
or warrants, it could increase the Companys common shares by 1,268,537 (37.0%) to 4,695,652
by December 31, 2016. Exercise prices for options and warrants range from $1.00 to $4.00 at
September 30, 2006. Assuming all such options and warrants are exercised in the year of
expiration, the effect on shares outstanding is illustrated as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND WORKING CAPITAL
At September 30, 2006, working capital was $1,347,462 compared to $(337,744) at September
30, 2005. This was due to an increase in cash from the private equity placement in the
fourth quarter of 2005, an increase in accounts receivable, and the elimination of
obligations due to a note payable-shareholder in the fourth quarter of 2005. The Company
provided cash from operations of approximately $466,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2006. The Company used cash from operations of approximately $347,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005. Significant non-cash items including depreciation,
accretion and amortization, stock based compensation expense, inventory reserve on excess
and obsolete inventory, and allowance for doubtful accounts were approximately $166,000 and
$155,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Accounts
receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets increased approximately $254,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to approximately $202,000 for the same
period in 2005. Accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue increased
approximately $527,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 versus an increase of
approximately $1,000 for the first nine months of 2005.
The Company used cash of approximately $164,000 and $43,000 for investing activities for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The amounts invested were used
to purchase machinery and equipment for increased production capacity, new product lines and
leasehold improvements for the new facility. Proceeds on sale of equipment totaled $0 and
$250 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The Company used cash of approximately $95,000 for financing activities during the nine
months ended September 30, 2006. Cash payments to third parties for capital lease
obligations approximated $46,000. Cash payments for services provided for the registration
of common stock were $50,131. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $1,200. The
Company incurred new leases of $134,268 for a forklift and production equipment.
The Company provided cash of approximately $411,000 for financing activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005. Cash payments to third parties for capital lease
obligations approximated $25,000. Proceeds from notes payable totaled $300,000 and proceeds
from the sale of common stock were $136,000.
During the third quarter of 2006, the Company met with the Development Financing Advisory
Council (DFAC) of the Ohio Department of Development and applied for a loan from the
Innovation Ohio Loan Fund. The DFAC has forwarded the Companys request for a $631,687
loan at an interest rate of 7.5% plus certain fees over 7 years to the State Controlling
Board and recommended the loan be approved at the November 13, 2006 State Controlling Board
meeting.
While certain major shareholders of the Company have advanced funds in the form of secured
debt, subordinated debt, accounts payable and guaranteeing bank debt in the past, there is
no commitment by these individuals to continue funding the Company or guaranteeing bank debt
in the future. The Company will continue to seek new debt or equity financing arrangements.
However, the Company cannot be certain that it will be successful in efforts to raise
additional funds.

In November 2004, a director agreed to loan the Company up to $200,000 for working capital,
to be drawn by the Company in increments of $50,000. The interest rate was Huntington
National Banks prime rate plus 2%, accruing and compounding monthly. The loan was secured
by a first lien on substantially all of the Companys assets. For each $50,000 increment
drawn on the loan, the director received 5,000 warrants to purchase the Companys common
stock at a purchase price of $2.50 per share exercisable until November 1, 2009. The loan
was drawn based on the following schedule: November 3, 2004, $100,000, January 7, 2005,
$50,000; and April 1, 2005, $50,000. The entire loan balance (principal and accrued
interest) was repaid in October 2005.
In April 2005, the same director who agreed to provide a secured loan for $200,000 to the
Company in November 2004, agreed to provide an additional $200,000 secured loan to the
Company for working capital. The interest rate was 10%, accruing and compounding monthly.
On April 14, 2005, $100,000 was drawn on this loan. $100,000 was also drawn on the loan on
May 20, 2005. By the terms of the loan, because the Company completed an equity financing
of at least $500,000 during 2005, the principal and accrued interest on this loan totaling
$209,110 automatically converted on the same basis as the new financing to 104,555 shares of
common stock ($2.00 per share) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 26,139 shares of the
Companys common stock at a purchase price of $3.00 per share exercisable until October
2010.
In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company completed a private placement to accredited
investors. The investors purchased 986,555 shares of common stock at a price of $2.00 per
share and warrants to purchase an additional 246,639 shares of common stock at $3.00 per
share until October 14, 2010. The Company received $1,386,000 in cash from certain investors
for 693,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 173,250 shares of Common Stock.
Four other investors cancelled indebtedness owed by the Company in the aggregate amount of
$587,110 in exchange for 293,555 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 73,389
shares of common stock. The indebtedness cancelled was as follows: (i) the Estate of Edward
R. Funk cancelled indebtedness of $188,411.71 in exchange for 94,000 shares of common stock,
warrants to purchase 23,500 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share exercisable until
October 2010, and payment of $411.71; (ii) the Estate of Ingeborg V. Funk cancelled
$100,980.21 of indebtedness in exchange for 50,000 shares of common stock, warrants to
purchase 12,500 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share exercisable until October 2010,
and payment of $980.21; (iii) Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur LLP (PWMA) cancelled $90,000
of indebtedness for legal fees in exchange for 45,000 shares of common stock and warrants to
purchase an additional 11,250 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share exercisable until
October 2010; and (iv) a director cancelled $209,110 of a secured loan in exchange for
104,555 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 26,139 shares of
common stock at $3.00 per share exercisable until October 2010 (as described in preceding
paragraph).
Risk Factors
The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The following factors, as well as the factors
listed under the caption Risk Factors in the Companys Form 10-KSB filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2006, have affected or could affect the
Companys actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from those
expressed in any forward-looking

statements made by the Company. Investors should consider
carefully these risks and speculative factors inherent in and
affecting the business of the Company and an investment in
the Companys common stock.
We have experienced significant operating losses in the past
and may continue to do so in the future.
We commenced business in May of 1987. Our accumulated deficit since inception was
$8,134,004 (unaudited) at September 30, 2006.
We have financed the losses primarily from additional investments and loans by our major
shareholders and private offerings of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock in
2004 and 2005. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to raise additional
capital in the future to fund our operations.

accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Financial
Statements and accompanying notes
.
Note 2 to the Financial Statements in the Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 describes the significant accounting
policies and methods used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. Estimates are
used for, but not limited to, accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory
allowances, property and equipment depreciable lives, patents and licenses useful lives, and
assessing changes in which impairment of certain long-lived assets may occur. Actual
results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are
impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of
the Financial Statements. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of
the collectibility of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable.
If there is a deterioration of a major customers credit worthiness or actual defaults are
higher than our historical experience, our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due us
could be adversely affected. Inventory purchases and commitments are based upon future
demand forecasts. If there is a sudden and significant decrease in demand for our products
or there is a higher risk of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing
technology and customer requirements, we may be required to increase our inventory
allowances and our gross margin could be adversely affected. Depreciable and useful lives
estimated for property and equipment, licenses and patents are based on initial expectations
of the period of time these assets and intangibles will provide benefit to our Company.
Changes in circumstances related to a change in our business, change in technology or other
factors could result in these assets becoming impaired, which could adversely affect the
value of these assets.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off balance sheet arrangements including special purpose
entities.

Controls and Procedures
|
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon this evaluation, the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls
and procedures were effective as of the period covered by this report in ensuring that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time period specified by the Securities and Exchange
Commissions rules and forms.
Additionally, there were no changes in the Companys internal controls that could materially
affect the Companys disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the date of their
evaluation, nor were there any material deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Companys
internal controls. As a result, no corrective actions were required or undertaken.

SUPERCONDUCTIVE COMPONENTS, INC.
REPORTS RECORD THIRD QUARTER REVENUE
COLUMBUS, Ohio (November 1, 2006) Superconductive Components, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SCCI), dba
SCI Engineered Materials, a manufacturer of high quality sputtering targets for select markets in
the physical vapor deposition industry, today announced financial results for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Third quarter 2006 versus third quarter 2005 highlights included:
|
|
|
|
Total revenue increased to $2,064,497 from $1,021,211
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gross profit rose to $469,007 from $276,409
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Net income of $116,532 versus a net loss of $(38,023)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Backlog of $3.4 million at September 30, 2006
|
Dan Rooney, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, The Companys record third quarter
revenue reflects solid increases in each of our markets, led by a significant gain in sales to
photonic customers. We ended the quarter with a record backlog of $3.4 million and anticipate
sequential quarter growth in revenue and net income. Investments in new equipment have been made
throughout 2006 in response to increased demand and we plan to add more equipment in 2007. This
will enable us to increase our production capabilities and also gradually enter additional niche
markets. These factors are expected to contribute to further improvement in the Companys
financial results in 2007.
Mr. Rooney continued, We are encouraged by recent developments in the emerging Thin Film Battery
market. During the third quarter, one of our customers announced the successful completion of a
$34.7 million equity financing to scale their technology and build a state-of-the-art manufacturing
facility to ramp to high volume production. This announcement underscores the progress that is
being achieved toward commercialization of Thin Film Battery technology. Sales to Thin Film
Battery customers have increased during 2006 and orders accelerated during the third quarter.
2006 Third Quarter Results
Total revenue increased 102% to a record $2,064,497 for the third quarter 2006 compared to
$1,021,211 for the same period last year. This revenue growth was led by higher sales to photonic,
solar and thin film battery customers. Third quarter 2006 revenue included the ongoing purchase of
commodities whose prices have historically experienced periods of significant fluctuation. These
changes are regularly reflected in the Companys selling prices. There was no contract research
revenue for the third quarter 2006 versus $67,717 the prior year. Orders received in the third
quarter 2006 totaled $3,532,000 compared to $1,004,000 for the same period in 2005.
Gross profit was $469,007, or 22.7% of total revenue, for the third quarter 2006 versus $276,409,
or 27.1% of total revenue, for the same period last year. Product mix, which included a greater
amount of higher value product with lower gross margin commodities, was the primary factor that
contributed to the decline in gross profit margin versus the prior year. General and
administrative expenses were $221,759 for the third quarter 2006 versus $184,743 a year ago, due to
higher incentive compensation and professional fees. Research and development (R&D) expenses
increased to $58,582 for the third quarter 2006 from $46,481 for the same period last year due to
additional product development expenses for current and future products. Sales and promotional
expenses were $76,066 for the third quarter 2006 versus $56,584 for the prior year. This increase
was attributable to the growth in third quarter 2006 revenue.
Income from operations was $116,532 for the third quarter 2006 compared to a loss from operations
of $(38,023) for the same period last year.
Income applicable to common shares was $110,236, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the third quarter
2006 compared to a loss applicable to common shares of $(44,320), or $(0.02) per share, the prior
year. Average weighted diluted shares outstanding rose 58% to 3,907,837 for the third quarter 2006
from 2,467,686 for the third quarter 2005. This increase was primarily due to the Companys
private equity financing during the second half of 2005.
2006 Nine Month Results
Total revenue increased approximately 91% to $4,423,554 for the nine months ended September 30,
2006 from $2,309,805 for the same period last year. Year-to-date 2006 revenue exceeded the amount
for the entire Year 2005. Sales have grown significantly due to increased demand from current
customers coupled with business from new customers. Revenue for the first nine months of 2006
included the ongoing purchase of commodities whose prices have historically experienced periods of
significant fluctuation. These changes are regularly reflected in the Companys selling prices.
Contract research revenue declined to $42,092 for the first nine months of 2006 compared to
$245,683 the prior year due to completion of a Phase II SBIR grant last year.
Gross profit rose 60% to $1,022,520 for the first nine months of 2006 from $640,497 for the 2005
year-to-date period. Gross profit margin was 23.1% for the first nine months of 2006 versus 27.7%
for the same period in 2005 due to product mix that included higher value product with lower gross
margin commodities and lower contract research revenue compared to last year. General and
administrative expenses were $667,013 for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $560,487 last
year. This increase was primarily due to the Companys incentive compensation program and higher
professional fees. R&D expenses for the first nine months of 2006 were similar to a year ago. The
slight decline is related to completion of a Phase II SBIR in 2005. Sales and promotional expenses
were $210,162 for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $167,518 for the same period in 2005
primarily due to incentive compensation related to the increase in revenues.
Income from operations was $371 for the 2006 year-to-date period versus a loss from operations of
$(234,325) last year.
Income applicable to common shares was $8,463, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the first nine
months of 2006 versus a loss applicable to common shares of $(319,595), or $(0.13) per diluted
share, for the same period a year ago. Average weighted diluted shares outstanding were 3,946,035
for the first nine months of 2006 or 61% higher than the same period last year, principally due to
the Companys private equity financing during the second half of 2005.
Innovation Ohio Fund Loan
During the third quarter 2006 the Company submitted an application pursuant to the Ohio Department
of Developments Innovation Ohio Fund Loan program. This program assists existing Ohio companies
develop next generation products in industry sectors that include advanced materials. On September
25, 2006, Governor Taft announced that the Development Financing Advisory Council approved a
$631,687 loan request for Superconductive Components, Inc. at an interest rate of 7.5% plus certain
fees for a seven-year term. These funds will be used to meet growing customer demand and also
enhance the Companys entry into new markets. Final approval of this loan is subject to State
Controlling Board approval, which is scheduled to consider this matter on November 13, 2006.
