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-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, 2010. 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.

Note 3.

Common Stock and Stock Options

Stock Based Compensation - Compensation cost for all stock-based awards is based on the grant date fair value and recognized over the required service (vesting) period. Non cash stock based compensation expense was $61,293 and $103,577 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense was $663,549 as of June 30, 2011 and will be recognized through 2017. There was no tax benefit recorded for this compensation cost as the expense primarily relates to incentive stock options that do not qualify for a tax deduction until, and only if, a qualifying disposition occurs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, a total of 3,000 stock options were exercised at a price of $1.55. The total cash proceeds were $4,650.

Note 6.

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 gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. Diluted earnings per share exclude all diluted potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, all (138,047) common stock options were anti-dilutive due to the net loss. The following is provided to reconcile the earnings per share calculations:

Overview

SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. (“SCI”, “we” or the “Company”), formerly Superconductive Components, Inc., an Ohio corporation, was incorporated in 1987. We operate in the physical vapor deposition industry in which we develop, commercialize technologies, and manufacture ceramics and metals for advanced applications in: Photonics, Solar, Thin Film Battery, Semiconductor, and, to a lesser extent High Temperature Superconductor (“HTS”) materials. Photonics currently represents the largest market for our targets. Solar is an industry that is exhibiting rapid growth. Thin Film Battery is a developing market where manufacturers of batteries use our products to produce very small power supplies with small quantities of stored energy. In recent years we added to our sales staff for the purpose of focusing on opportunities for our products in the Solar industry. We also added staff to our Technology group for the development of innovative products.

Item 2.

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

Executive Summary

During the first half of 2011 we continued to develop transparent conductive oxide systems for the solar industry and added domestic and international customers for solar products. The solar industry is projected to have strong growth for the next few decades, and in addition, the Thin Film Solar (TFS) market share is expected to increase during that period. Given current market opportunities, we continue to invest in expanding production, research & development, marketing, and sales. These investments have resulted in trial and qualification orders that were shipped to customers in the solar industry throughout 2010 and the first six months of 2011. Current orders and the conversion of customer forecasts are expected to be catalysts as we transition our business from product trials to full production. This should allow us to gain market share and to be poised to receive large orders in targeted applications. We anticipate that our financial performance will begin to improve during the final three months of 2011. The conversion of these trials into production orders represents another important step toward realization of our strategic goals which include expanding our base of solar customers globally.

In the previous three years (2008 – 2010) we invested over $1.6 million in new equipment to increase our manufacturing capacity and advanced test equipment to position the Company to become a meaningful supplier of Zinc Oxide based Transparent Conductive Oxides (TCO) to the Thin Film Solar industry. During the first six months of 2011 we positioned the Company for continued growth by finalizing two loans with agencies of the State of Ohio for approximately $2.1 million. These loans carry attractive interest rates of 3% plus a 0.25% annual service fee. In addition to the loans we expect to invest an additional $900,000 in the expansion project and to add approximately 50 employees during the next three years. These funds are expected to be provided by operating activities. As part of this project we invested over $1 million in new equipment during the first half of 2011.

We had total revenue of $4,795,202 and $4,801,777 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Product revenue increased to $4,442,031 from $4,357,005, an increase of $85,026, or 2.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from the same period in 2010. Product revenue increased due to customer demand and increased cost of a high priced raw material. During the first quarter of 2011, a customer asked us to purchase and process this raw material resulting in higher revenue compared to the first quarter of 2010. During the first quarter of 2010, this customer purchased the raw material directly and shipped it to us for processing.

Total revenue remained constant for the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 despite the loss of a customer which closed its manufacturing facility during the first quarter of 2011. We shipped approximately $450,000 to this customer during the first half of 2011 versus approximately $1 million during the first half of 2010. Revenue from this customer was approximately $1.9 million for the entire year of 2010. We expect the loss of revenue from this customer to be offset by increased sales of solar products, especially our innovative transparent conductive oxide systems for the solar industry and from core customers in other markets. The sales of solar products are expected to accelerate during the fourth quarter of 2011 and are based on revenue from current customers and product trials being converted into production orders. Our products continue to be evaluated by a growing number of companies engaged in the global solar market.

Gross profit was $964,367 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $1,343,850 for the same six months in 2010. This was a decrease of $379,483, or 28.2%. The decrease in gross profit can be attributed to a change in product mix and continued scale-up expenses related to transparent conductive oxide for solar applications products in addition to the closing of a manufacturing facility by a customer previously disclosed. We anticipate gross profit to begin to improve during the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to each of the previous quarters in 2011 due to the expected increased revenue. Gross margin was 20.1% for the first six months of 2011 compared to 28.0% for the same period in 2010. The decrease in gross margin can be principally attributed to the increased volume of the high priced raw material, which had a lower margin and also to the large customer that closed its facility.

Item 2.

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

We continue to invest in developing new products for the solar industry including transparent conductive oxide systems. These efforts include accelerating time to market for those products and involve research and development expense beyond the scope of specific government grants and awards. Research and development expense increased $161,426 to $362,187, an increase of 80.4% for the first six months of 2011 compared to the first six months of 2010. Research and development is integral to the sales process, which involves a long selling cycle of product trials prior to full production orders. Investments we have made to date are expected to accelerate revenues later this year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we had a loss before provision for income taxes of $260,681 compared to net income of $204,631 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We had a loss applicable to common shares of $281,232 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to income of $109,115 for the same period in 2010. This decrease can be attributed to the decrease in gross profit previously mentioned and an increase in research and development expenses of approximately $161,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six and three months ended June 30, 2011 (unaudited) compared to six and three months ended June 30, 2010 (unaudited):

Revenue

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $4,795,202 compared to $4,801,777, for the same period last year, a decrease of $6,575 or 0.1%.

Product revenue increased $85,026, or 2.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to customer demand and increased cost of a high priced raw material. Contract research revenue decreased to $353,171 from $444,772 for the first half of 2011 compared to the first half of 2010. This decrease was due to one contract drawing to a close late in 2010 and another during the first half of 2011.

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $2,277,568 compared to $2,560,664, for the same period last year, a decrease of $283,096 or 11.1%. Product revenue decreased $224,672, or 9.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from the same period in 2010. This decrease can be attributable to a customer closing its manufacturing facility as previously discussed (revenue to this customer was approximately $490,000 during the second quarter of 2010). This decrease in revenue was partially offset by increased revenue from core customers. Contract research revenue decreased to $147,835 for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $206,259 for the second quarter of 2010, due to the completion of certain milestones related to these programs.

Item 2.

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

Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment to customers. Provisions for discounts and rework costs for returns are established when products are shipped based on historical experience. Customer deposits represent cash received in advance of revenue earned.

Revenue from contract research provided for third parties is recognized on the percentage of completion method. Contract research revenue is recognized during the period qualifying expenses are incurred for the research that is performed as set forth under the terms of the grant award agreements.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $964,367, which represented gross margin of 20.1% of total revenue compared to $1,343,850 and 28.0% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010. In addition to a customer’s closing of its manufacturing facility as previously disclosed, the decrease in gross profit can be attributed to a change in product mix and continued scale-up expenses related to transparent conductive oxide for solar applications products.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $416,829, which represented gross margin of 18.3% of total revenue compared to $666,148 and 26.0% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This was a decrease of $249,319, or 37.4%. In addition to a customer’s closing of its manufacturing facility, the decrease in gross profit can be attributed to a change in product mix and continued scale-up expenses related to transparent conductive oxide for solar applications products.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased to $551,234 from $596,211, or 7.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was the result of non-cash stock based compensation expense being reduced by approximately $38,000 and wages and compensation being approximately $13,000 lower.

General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $275,340 compared to $314,981 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of 12.6%. The decrease was the result of less non-cash stock based compensation expense of approximately $19,000, lower legal fees of approximately $19,000 and less wages and compensation of approximately $5,000.

Professional Fees

Included in general and administrative expense was $121,173 and $124,758 for professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These expenses are primarily related to SEC compliance costs for legal, accounting and stockholder relations’ fees.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $362,187 compared to $200,761 for the same period in 2010, an increase of 80.4%. We continue to develop innovative transparent conductive oxide systems to further align our activities with customer needs, as well as trial orders which resulted in increased research and development expense. These new research and development endeavors have moved us beyond the scope of our current federal and state grants and awards.

Item 2.

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

Research and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $197,548 compared to $147,505 for the same period in 2010, an increase of 33.9%.

We have decided not to pursue a patent application entitled “A Method for making composite sputtering targets and the targets made in accordance with the method". The patent office did not validate the patent. SCI appealed the examiner’s decision and the examiner also rejected the arguments contained in the appeal. As a result we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $39,000 during the second quarter of 2011.

Marketing and Sales Expense

Marketing and sales expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011, decreased 11.0% to $275,972 from $310,230 for the same period in 2010. The decrease was due primarily to less commission expense to outside manufacturing representatives of approximately $38,000 and less wages and compensation of approximately $6,000.

Marketing and sales expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased 23.1% to $119,915 from $155,908 for the same period in 2010. The decrease was due to a reduction in manufacturer’s sales representative commissions of approximately $27,000 and reduced travel expenses of approximately $6,000 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Stock Compensation Expense

Included in operating expenses were non-cash stock based compensation costs of $58,824 and $97,171 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Compensation cost for all stock-based awards is based on the grant date fair value and recognized over the required service (vesting) period. Total unrecognized non-cash stock based compensation expense was $663,549 as of June 30, 2011 and will be recognized through 2017.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $37,666 and $44,931 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Interest expense was $19,100 and $23,109 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease was due to the maturity of some capital leases plus more principal and less interest being applied to ongoing capital lease payments.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $8,475 and $83,367 respectively. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $4,237 and $21,670 respectively. We had deferred income taxes of $156,000 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. We record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We have considered future taxable income and used ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for valuation allowances. If we were to determine that we would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period that such determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of the deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would decrease income in the period such determination was made. We regularly evaluate the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset.

(Loss)/Income Applicable to Common Shares

Loss applicable to common shares was ($281,232) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to income of $109,115 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Loss applicable to common shares was ($204,488) for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to income of $8,759 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease can be attributed to the decrease in gross profit previously mentioned and an increase in research and development expenses of approximately $161,000.

Item 2.

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

Closing documents were signed in February 2011 for a 166 Direct Loan in the amount of $744,250 with the Ohio Department of Development (ODOD). ODOD also recommended that the Ohio Tax Credit Authority approve a tax credit equal to 45 percent of employee income tax withholdings resulting from the project for five years. This credit has an estimated value of $86,000 during the entire term. ODOD also is prepared to offer funding from the Rapid Outreach Grant for up to $25,000 for costs associated with the acquisition and installation of machinery and equipment.

Closing documents were also signed in February 2011 for a 166 Direct Loan through the Advanced Energy Program with The Ohio Air Quality Development Authority (OAQDA) for approximately $1.4 million. The OAQDA and ODOD loans can fund approximately 70% of the current capital requirements of approximately $3 million to support our planned growth.

Debt Outstanding

Total debt outstanding increased during the six months ended June 30, 2011 from approximately $1,223,000 to $1,477,000, or 20.8%. We paid cash of approximately $231,000 towards capital lease obligations during the first half of 2011. During the first half of 2011 we incurred a capital lease obligation of $185,000 for new production equipment and proceeds received from a note payable were $300,000, which was used as a down payment for new production equipment which has a lead time in excess of twelve months.

Government Grants and Contracts

During the fourth quarter of 2009 we were notified we had been awarded a grant in the amount of $775,400 by the Ohio Department of Development’s Third Frontier Photovoltaic Program (TFPVP) to commercialize advanced technology for high power density rotatable ceramic sputtering targets. These targets are used in the manufacture of thin film photovoltaics. This technology will enable manufacturers to operate rotatable sputtering targets at higher power densities than current technology. The approval of the grant was received during January 2010 and the work on the contract commenced in the first quarter of 2010. Revenue totaled $107,807 during the first half of 2011 compared to $38,076 in the first half of 2010. Total expenditures for the project through June 30, 2011 were $288,073. The work on the contract is expected to continue through the first quarter of 2012.

During the third quarter of 2009 we received notification from the Department of Energy (DOE) of an Assistance Agreement in the amount of approximately $650,000. This grant provides support for Phase II of a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award entitled “Homogenous BSCCO-2212 Round Wires for Very High Field Magnet Applications.” Revenue was $193,430 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $93,541 for the same period in 2010. Total revenue of the project through June 30, 2011 was $544,377. The work on the contract is expected to continue through the third quarter of 2011.

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 provided 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 and was completed late in 2010. Revenue was $187,791 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Item 2.

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

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. 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.” Revenue was $51,934 during the first six months of 2011 and $123,497 for the first six months of 2010. Total revenue of the project through June 30, 2011 was $741,852. The work on the contract began during the third quarter of 2008 and was completed during the second quarter of 2011.

The granting agency may suspend or terminate the award in whole or in part if we fail to materially comply with the terms and conditions. We expect to complete each award while complying with the terms and conditions.

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, 2010 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.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Due to a segregation of duties material weakness described below, and based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2011, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. The Company continued to remain current for reports filed and submitted under the Exchange Act. Until we are able to hire additional employees, we will continue to report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors at least monthly (and more often as necessary). We believe this will continue to mitigate this weakness. This reporting includes balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of cash flows, and other detail supporting these statements. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operation, changes in shareholder’s equity and cash flows for all periods presented.

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.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures (continued)

Management previously disclosed a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting in its annual report on Form 10-K, filed on February 28, 2011 for the year ended December 31, 2010, relating to insufficient segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Management is aware of the risks associated with the lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees currently working with general administrative and financial matters. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions shall be performed by separate individuals. In order to remediate this weakness, we would need to hire additional employees. Although we will periodically reevaluate this situation, at this point we consider that the risks associated with such lack of segregation of duties and the potential benefits of adding employees to segregate such duties are not cost justified. Until we are able to hire additional employees, we will continue to report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors at least monthly (and more often as necessary). We believe this will continue to mitigate this weakness. This reporting includes balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of cash flows, and other detail supporting these statements.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting for the three months ended June 30, 2011 that materially affected or were reasonably likely to materially affect our disclosure controls and procedures. 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. As a result, no corrective actions were required or undertaken.
