Note 1.

Business Organization and Purpose

SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. (“SCI” or the “Company”), formerly Superconductive Components, Inc., an Ohio corporation, was incorporated in 1987. The Company manufactures ceramic and metal sputtering targets for a variety of industrial applications including: Photonics, Thin Film Solar, Thin Film Battery, Semiconductor, and, to a lesser extent High Temperature Superconductive (HTS) materials. Photonics currently represents the Company’s largest market for its targets. Thin Film Solar is an industry that is exhibiting rapid growth. Thin Film Battery is a developing market where manufacturers of batteries use the Company’s targets to produce very small power supplies with small quantities of stored energy. Semiconductor is a developing market for the Company.

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-Q 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, 2008. 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 Development’s Third Frontier Action Fund (TFAF) for the purchase of equipment related to the grant’s purpose. In a separate contract with the Department of Energy the Company received $27,500 for the purchase of equipment related to the contract’s purpose. The Company elected to record the funds disbursed as a contra asset; therefore, the assets are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. As assets were purchased, the liability initially created when the cash was received was reduced with no revenue recognized or fixed asset recorded on the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had disbursed the entire amount received. The grant and contract both provide that as long as the Company performed in compliance with the grant/contract, the Company retained the rights to the equipment. The grant was completed in January 2009. The Company was in compliance with the requirements and retained the equipment.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Stock Based Compensation

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised), “Share Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R). SFAS No. 123R replaced SFAS No. 123, and superseded APB Opinion No. 25. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R and related interpretations using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized in 2009 and 2008 includes 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 No. 123R. Non cash stock based compensation costs were $281,203 and $29,637 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. On January 2, 2009, the Stock Option and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the grant of options to purchase a total of 450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, effective January 2, 2009, to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and three other executive officers. The Committee also approved the grant of options to purchase 90,000 shares to the four non-employee board members. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, the options have an exercise price of $6.00 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board regulated quotation service on January 2, 2009. The four non-employee board members each received compensation of 1,819 shares of the Company’s common stock and $5,000 in 2008.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 7.

Earnings Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated as income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as diluted income 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 June 30, 2009 and 2008 all common stock options and warrants are anti-dilutive due to the net loss. The following is provided to reconcile the earnings per share calculations:

Note 8.

Capital Requirements

The Company’s accumulated deficit since inception was $8,077,115 (unaudited) at June 30, 2009. While the Company has been profitable in recent years, the historical 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 continue to operate at a profit or it will be able to raise additional capital in the future to fund its operations.

As of June 30, 2009, cash on-hand was $1,040,495. Management believes, based on forecasted sales and expenses, that funding will be adequate to sustain operations at least through June 30, 2010.

Numerous factors may make it necessary for the Company to seek additional capital. In order to support the initiatives included 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 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 9.

Note Payable

On January 22, 2009, the Company issued a Promissory Note dated as of January 13, 2009, to The Huntington National Bank, as Lender, pursuant to a Business Loan Agreement dated as of January 13, 2009. The Note is secured by a Commercial Security Agreement granting the Lender a security interest in the Company’s inventory, equipment and accounts. The balance owed on the Note at June 30, 2009 was $0.

Among other items, the Note provides for the following:

At no time shall the outstanding balance of the principal sum of the Revolving Loan exceed the lesser of (1) $1,000,000 or (2) an amount equal to the sum of 80% of Eligible Accounts plus the lesser of (A) 50% of Eligible inventory or (B) $200,000.

Interest on the note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the LIBO rate. The index at the inception of the note was 0.386% per annum. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance during this note will be at a rate of 3.500 percentage points over the index.

All accrued interest is payable monthly. The outstanding principal and accrued interest owed on the Note matures on January 1, 2010.

Note 10.

Subsequent Event

In July 2009, the Company was selected by a customer as a subcontractor for an award recently granted by the Ohio Department of Development. This award is entitled “Ohio-Based Manufacturing of Thin-Film Photovoltaics” and provides support for the development of alternate transparent conductive oxides. The work on the contract is expected to begin during the third quarter of 2009 and is expected to be completed during 2010. The amount of the subcontract work to be performed by the Company is $125,000.

Note11.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this report and there are none except those listed in Note 10.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 168). SFAS 168 will become the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), and related accounting literature. SFAS 168 reorganizes the thousands of GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure. Also included is relevant Securities and Exchange Commission guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections. SFAS 168 will be effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009. This will have an impact on the Company’s financial statements since all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be references in accordance with SFAS 168.

Overview

SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. (“SCI” or the “Company”), formerly Superconductive Components, Inc., an Ohio corporation, was incorporated in 1987. We manufacture ceramic and metal sputtering targets for a variety of industrial applications including: Photonics, Thin Film Solar, Thin Film Battery, Semiconductor, and, to a lesser extent HTS materials. Photonics currently represents the largest market for our targets. Thin Film Solar is an industry that is exhibiting rapid growth and we expect this market to grow quickly. Thin Film Battery is a developing market where manufacturers of batteries use our targets to produce very small power supplies with small quantities of stored energy. Semiconductor is a developing market for us. We added to our sales staff in late 2007 for the purpose of focusing on opportunities for our products in the Solar industry. We also added staff to our Technology group during the second half of 2007 for the development of innovative products. During the fourth quarter of 2008 we added an exclusive manufacturer’s representative for Europe. Late in the second quarter of 2009 we received an order from a Thin Film Solar customer that was more than $1 million. The entire amount is scheduled to ship during the second half of 2009.

Executive Summary

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we had $339,451 in non-cash expenses for the following items: stock based compensation for stock options issued in January of 2009 and charges related to the extension of the expiration date of common stock warrants in May of 2009. The non-cash stock based compensation expense included a one time charge of $175,376 for options that vested immediately and ongoing charges of $87,688. These ongoing non-cash charges will continue through 2010 and then decline beginning in the first quarter of 2011. The non-cash financing expense related to the extension of the expiration date of common stock warrants was a one time charge of $76,387. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we had $29,637 in non-cash stock based compensation expense. The increase in these non-cash charges of $309,814 had a material effect on our Statement of Operations in 2009.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we had revenues of $3,211,588. This was a decrease of $19,865, or less than 1% when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. Contract research revenue increased to $501,074 for the first six months of 2009 from $40,121 for the same period in 2008, an increase of $460,953, reflecting the position of our company in key technologies. This increase in contract research revenue combined with revenue from new markets substantially offsets the decrease in our automotive market revenue. The slight decline in total revenue can be attributed to the current economic downturn as customers have decreased spending and reduced inventory levels.

Gross profit was $676,510 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $866,872 for the same six months in 2008. Gross margin was 21.1% of total revenues for the first six months of 2009 compared to 26.8% for the same period in 2008. The decline can be attributed primarily to the decrease in product revenue as mentioned above. Also, research and development labor (approximately $103,000) was included as cost of contract research revenue.

Given current market conditions, we continued to invest in expanding production capabilities, R&D, marketing and sales. This should allow us to gain market share now and to be poised to receive large orders in targeted applications when this current business downturn recovers.

Benefits from these investments have been trial and qualification orders that were shipped to customers in the Thin Film Solar industry. The revenue from these shipments totaled approximately $100,000 in the first quarter and $312,000 in the second quarter of 2009, respectively. Some of these trials and qualifications have resulted in orders of approximately $1.2 million that are scheduled to ship during the second half of 2009. Additionally, late in the second quarter we received some orders from our traditional markets that had been slow during the first six months of 2009. This could be an indication that restocking inventories or increased business levels is occurring.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we had net loss applicable to common shares of $687,454 compared to a net loss of $187,245 for the same period in 2008. The increase in net loss can be attributed to additional operating expenses of approximately $218,000 along with the decline in product revenue and gross profit mentioned above. Non-cash stock based compensation expense increased approximately $252,000 in the first six months of 2009 versus the first six months of 2008. A non-cash financing expense related to the extension of the expiration date for warrants due to expire in 2009 was approximately $76,000 which was booked in the second quarter of 2009.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

It is possible that the revenues for the entire year of 2009 could be less than 2008 due to the significant reduction in a high priced raw material. After two years of unusually high prices above the long term average price of this raw material, the price has returned to its long term average. In addition, the global economic condition has weakened our traditional markets. All of our employees are committed to fighting through this economic downturn. During the first six months of 2009 we reduced hours in most departments and members of management agreed to salary reductions to help reduce costs in the coming months.

In July 2009, the Company was selected by a customer as a subcontractor for an award recently granted by the Ohio Department of Development. This award is entitled “Ohio-Based Manufacturing of Thin-Film Photovoltaics” and provides support for the development of alternate transparent conductive oxides. The work on the contract is expected to begin during the third quarter of 2009 and is projected to be completed during 2010. The amount of the subcontract work to be performed by the Company is $125,000.

We received notification during the fourth quarter of 2008 from the Ohio Department of Development’s Third Frontier Advanced Energy Program (TFAEP) of an award in the amount of $708,715. This grant provides support to commercialize technologies for the manufacture of rotatable ceramic sputtering targets for the production of transparent conductive oxide-coated glass used in manufacturing thin film photovoltaic solar cell panels. The work on the contract began in January of 2009.

During the third quarter of 2008 we received notification from the Department of Energy of a Notice of Financial Assistance Award in the amount of approximately $750,000. The initial $125,000 was formally approved during 2008. The remaining balance was approved in February 2009. This grant provides support for Phase II of a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award entitled “Flux Pinning Additions to Increase Jc Performance in BSCCO-2212 Round Wire for Very High Field Magnets.” The work on the contract began during the third quarter of 2008 and is expected to continue through August 2010.

We received notification during the second quarter of 2008 from the Department of Energy of a Notice of Financial Assistance Award in the amount of $99,961. This award provides support for Phase I of an SBIR award entitled “Homogenous BSCCO-2212 Round Wires for Very High Field Magnet Applications.” The work on the contract began during the third quarter of 2008 and was completed during the first quarter of 2009.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six and three months ended June 30, 2009 (unaudited) compared to six and three months ended June 30, 2008 (unaudited):

Revenues

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we had revenues of $3,211,588. This was a slight decrease of $19,865, or 0.6%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. Contract research revenue increased to $501,074 for the first six months of 2009 from $40,121 for the same period in 2008, an increase of $460,953, reflecting our position in key technologies. This increase in contract research revenue combined with revenue from new markets substantially offsets the decrease in our automotive market revenue. The slight decline in total revenue can be attributed to the current economic downturn as customers have decreased spending and reduced inventory levels. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 we had revenues of $1,310,053 compared to $1,517,513 for the same period in 2008. Contract research revenue was $254,649 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 versus $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Product revenue was $1,055,404 for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $1,517,513 for the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of $462,109. This decrease can be attributable to the automotive market. As mentioned above, this decline in product revenue can be attributed to the current economic downturn as customers have decreased spending and reduced inventory levels. Late in the second quarter of 2009, we began receiving some additional orders from our traditional markets. This could be an indication of a need to restock inventories or an increase in business levels is occurring.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $676,510 which represents a gross margin of 21.1% of total revenue compared to $866,872 and 26.8% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $248,990 which represents a gross margin of 19.0% of total revenue compared to $437,847 and 28.9% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decline can be attributed primarily to the decrease in product revenue previously mentioned. Also, labor (approximately $103,000) normally classified as research and development expense was included as cost of contract research revenue.

Marketing and Sales Expense

Marketing and Sales expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased 15.6% to $314,450 from $272,032 for the same period in 2008. The increase was due to increased non-cash stock based compensation expense of approximately $33,000, and higher expenses related to trade shows as well as commissions to our outside manufacturing sales representatives. A portion of this increase was offset by a reduction in compensation to our inside personnel. Marketing and Sales expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased 0.4% to $146,358 from $145,762 for the same period in 2008.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased to $703,958 from $510,461 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, or 37.9%. The increase was primarily the result of non-cash stock based compensation expense of approximately $207,000 compared to approximately $24,000 for the same period in 2008, as well as higher insurance premiums and professional fees. General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased to $288,634 from $250,408 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, or 15.3%. The increase was primarily the result of non-cash stock based compensation expense as well as higher insurance premiums and professional fees. A portion of this increase was offset by a reduction in compensation.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense for the first six months of 2009 was $204,577 compared to $222,719 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of 8.1%. Research and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $79,247 compared to $125,563 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of 36.9%. We continue to incur expenses associated with the continued development efforts in the Photonic, Thin Film Solar, Thin Film Battery and Semiconductor markets, as well as research related to the SBIRs and TFAEP. The decrease in expense was a result of approximately $103,000 of compensation that was assigned to Cost of Contract Research Revenue.

Other Income and Expense

Interest income was $4,846 and $14,175 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Interest income was $2,352 and $5,345 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. While our cash position increased over the past 12 months the decrease in interest rates reduced the amount of interest earned.

Interest expense was $57,223 and $51,997 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively and $28,635 and $25,395 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase was due to additional capital lease obligations incurred for the purchase of production equipment for increased production capacity. We received loan proceeds in the amount of $400,000 from the Ohio Department of Development in 2008. These proceeds were used to reduce the balance on outstanding capital lease obligations. The favorable interest rate on this loan (3%) helped offset the interest expense related to new capital lease obligations.

Non-cash financing expense associated with the extension of the warrant expiration date previously mentioned was approximately $76,000 in the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 versus $0 in 2008.

The loss applicable to common shares includes net loss from operations and the accretion of Series B preferred stock dividends. Dividends on the Series B preferred stock accrue at 10% annually on the outstanding shares. Accrued dividends on the Series B preferred stock was $12,215 and $12,283 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The weighted averaged shares outstanding were 3,562,149 at June 30, 2009 and 3,500,419 at June 30, 2008. All outstanding common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 due to the net loss.

Loss applicable to common shares was $374,027 compared to $108,878 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Basic net loss per common share after dividends on preferred stock and based on income applicable to common shares was $0.10 and $0.03 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The loss applicable to common shares includes net loss from operations and the accretion of Series B preferred stock dividends. Dividends on the Series B preferred stock accrue at 10% annually on the outstanding shares. Accrued dividends on the Series B preferred stock was $6,108 and $6,142 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The weighted averaged shares outstanding were 3,562,259 at June 30, 2009 and 3,510,964 at June 30, 2008. All outstanding common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 due to the net loss.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

The following schedule represents our outstanding common shares during the period of 2009 through 2019 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 our common shares by 1,682,307 to 5,244,566 by December 31, 2019. Exercise prices for options and warrants range from $1.00 to $6.00 at June 30, 2009. Assuming all such options and warrants are exercised in the year of expiration, the effect on shares outstanding is illustrated as follows:
