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.

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.

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

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.

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.

are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Investors are
cautioned that all forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q and in other statements we make involve risks and uncertainties
including, without limitation, the factors set forth under the caption “Risk
Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2008, and other factors detailed from time to time in our other filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. One or more of these factors

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.

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.
LOSS
APPLICABLE TO COMMON SHARES
Loss
applicable to common shares was $687,454 compared to $187,245 for the six months

share after dividends on preferred stock and based on income applicable to
common shares was $0.19 and $0.05 for the six 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 $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

RISK
FACTORS
We desire
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 our Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2009, have affected or could
affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from
those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by
us. Investors should consider carefully these risks and speculative
factors inherent in and affecting our business and an investment in our common
stock.
Historically
we have experienced significant operating losses and may continue to do so in
the future.
While we
have had profitable operations in recent years, profits have not been consistent
and we financed the historical losses primarily from additional investments and
loans by our major shareholders and private offerings of common stock and
warrants to purchase common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
raise additional capital in the future to fund our operations. While
certain of our major shareholders 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 us or
guaranteeing bank debt in the future. We will continue to seek new
financing or equity financing arrangements. However, we cannot be
certain that we will be successful in efforts to raise additional
funds.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have
no off balance sheet arrangements including special purpose
entities.
Critical Accounting
Policies
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with
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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2008 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 collectability of specific customer accounts and
the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of
a major customer’s 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 benefit us. 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.

Controls
and Procedures
|
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
Based on
an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have
concluded that the our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended ("Exchange Act") were effective as of June 30, 2009 to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that are filed or
submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls
Our
internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
use, or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not
expect that our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control
system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact
that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been
detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future
periods is subject to the risk that those internal controls may become
inadequate because of changes in business conditions or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Additionally,
there were no changes in our internal controls that could materially affect our
disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the date of their evaluation,
nor were there any material deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal
controls. As a result, no corrective actions were
required.
