PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Introduction

SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. (“SCI”, “we” or the “Company”), formerly Superconductive Components, Inc., an Ohio corporation, was incorporated in 1987. We operate in one segment as a global supplier and manufacturer of advanced materials for Physical Vapor Deposition (“PVD”) Thin Film Applications. We are focused on specific markets within the PVD industry (Photonics, Thin Film Solar, Thin Film Battery and Transparent Electronics). Substantially, all of our revenues were generated from domestic customers. Approximately 96% and 86% of our revenues during 2013 and 2012, respectively, were from products sold in the Photonics market. We have made considerable resource investment in the Thin Film Solar industry and a few customers have adopted our products. 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. Through partnerships with end users and Original Equipment Manufacturers the Company develops innovative customized solutions enabling commercial success.

History of the Company

The late Dr. Edward Funk, Sc.D., and his late wife Ingeborg founded SCI in 1987. Dr. Funk, formerly a Professor of Metallurgy at The Ohio State University and a successful entrepreneur, envisioned significant market potential for the newly discovered High Temperature Superconductivity (“HTS”) material YBCO (T _c of 90 ^o K). Our first product was a 99.999% pure, co-precipitated YBCO 1-2-3 powder. Over the years we expanded our product line by adding other High T _c Powders, sintered shapes, single crystal substrates, and non-superconducting sputtering targets.

We opened a subdivision, Target Materials Inc. (“TMI”), in 1991 to supply the increasing worldwide demand for sputtering and laser ablation targets. We became a full service manufacturer of high performance thin film materials, providing a wide selection of metals, ceramics, and alloys for sputtering targets, evaporation sources, and other Physical Vapor Deposition (“PVD”) applications. We served the Research & Development market as well as the Industrial and Decorative Coating markets. During this time, we began to manufacture targets for the Photovoltaic, Flat Panel Display, and Semiconductor industries.

SCI and TMI were merged in 2002. We continued to manufacture complex ceramic, metal, and alloy products for the photonic, photovoltaic, thin film battery, media storage, flat panel display, and semiconductor industries.

In April of 2010, we received ISO 9001:2008 registration, an internationally recognized quality standard. Prior to April 2010 we were ISO 9001:2000 registered.

For over two and a half decades we have been developing considerable expertise in the development and manufacturing ramp-up of novel materials, such as Transparent Conductive Oxides for Thin Film Solar applications and targets for thin film batteries. Today, we serve a diverse base of domestic and multi-national corporations, universities, and leading research institutions. We actively seek to partner with organizations to provide solutions for difficult material challenges.

Throughout our history, we have conducted funded research primarily under grants from entities such as the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, NASA, and the Ohio Development Services Agency (formally known as the Ohio Department of Development). These activities are generally limited to funded research that is consistent with our focus on near term commercial applications in our principal markets.

Business

We are a supplier of materials to the PVD industry. Our customers need our materials to produce nano layers of metals and oxides for advanced material systems. PVD coatings range from everyday items to complex computer processors. Every day applications include transparent anti-scratch coatings on eyeglasses, coatings on kitchen faucets, as well as low emissivity glass for household windows. More technically advanced applications for our products include semiconductors, thin film solar, flat panel displays, photonics and an emerging technology - Thin Film Battery.

	3

We continue to pursue niche opportunities where our core competencies give us an advantage. We receive requests from potential customers in other markets within the PVD industry; however, at this time we have chosen not to pursue them. This disciplined approach enables us to focus on those opportunities that are the best fit for our capabilities and also offer the greatest long-term return. Considerations include our core strengths, resource requirements, and time-to-market.

Photonics currently represents the largest market for our materials. Our customers are continually identifying new materials that improve the utility of optical coatings. This includes improvements in their ability to focus, filter or reflect light, all of which increase the potential demand for the types and amounts of products we sell in this market. Photonic applications continue to expand as new methods are found to manipulate light waves to enhance the various properties of light.

We have developed new products for the Thin Film Solar (“TFS”) market. We are well positioned in the TFS area having supplied materials to that market for over 10 years from the early stages of TFS development. Since the beginning of 2007, we have added over $4 million of new manufacturing equipment, as well as Engineering and Sales staff to develop new materials to support the solar market. In 2008 and 2009 we were awarded grants of approximately $1.5 million from the Ohio Department of Development to assist in the commercialization of TFS products. Our new materials are Transparent Conductive Oxides (“TCO”). Every square foot of a TFS panel is coated with up to 3 layers of TCO. We continue to increase our visibility in the global arena by attending various trade shows targeted at the solar market. We have added exclusive representatives for Korea, China, Taiwan and Japan. Commercialization and market expansion is expected to continue in 2014. During 2011 and 2012, we purchased over $1.5 million of the approximately $3 million in equipment and infrastructure improvements that were planned in 2011 and 2012; however, TFS met difficult market conditions during 2012 and we scaled back our capital expansion accordingly. We are poised to benefit as TFS grows.

We continued to develop TCO systems for the solar and glass markets and added domestic and international customers for these products. Despite short term uncertainties, the solar industry is projected to have strong growth for the next few decades. In addition, the TFS market, which we serve, is expected to gain market share in roof applications with low weight flexible products during that period. Given current market opportunities, we continue to invest in research and development, marketing, and sales. These investments have resulted in ongoing production orders from several customers, as well as trial and qualification orders that were shipped to customers in the solar industry throughout 2012 and 2013.

Thin Film Battery is a developing market where manufacturers of batteries use our targets, especially lithium orthophosphate (Li3PO4) and lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) as key elements to produce power supplies with small quantities of stored energy. A typical Thin Film Battery would be produced via PVD with five or more thin layers. These batteries are often one centimeter square but only 15 microns thick. Following several years of industry developments, some Thin Film Battery customers announced their batteries are commercially available. Our customers anticipate the unique properties of these batteries could be used in applications in medical devices, integrated circuits, RFID, smart cards, hand held electronics and many other applications.

We continue to invest in developing new products for all current markets which include accelerating time to market.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, we had total revenue of $7,976,429. This was a decrease of $780,720, or 8.9% when compared to 2012. Total revenue decreased primarily due to two factors. We had fewer shipments to our solar and thin film battery customers resulting in less revenue of approximately $800,000 during 2013. In 2012, a customer announced it was reorganizing its manufacturing operations which impacted our shipments in 2013. Secondly, contract revenue decreased more than $136,000 during 2013 compared to 2012 as a grant was completed in 2013. We do not anticipate any contract revenue during 2014. We do not rely on contract revenue as a main part of our business and do not believe that this reduction will have an adverse effect on our business. The impact of these factors was partially offset by increased shipments to a few current and new customers.

Our largest customer represented approximately 38% of total revenues in 2013 and 48% in 2012.

Marketing and Sales

Europe and Asia, as well as the Americas, have high demand for sputtering targets. We continue to expand our global marketing reach. We have a manufacturer’s representative in the Korean market and also for Taiwan and China. We also have a distributor for Japan. We use various distribution channels to reach end user markets, including direct sales by our employees, independent manufacturers’ representatives in the United States, and independent distributors and manufacturers’ representatives for international markets. Also, the internet provides tremendous reach for new customers to be able to identify us as a source of their product needs. We have an operating website www.sciengineeredmaterials.com , which includes online product inquiry capabilities and additional product information.

Ceramics

We are capable of producing ceramic powders via several different processing techniques including solid state and precipitation. Ceramic targets can also be produced in a variety of ways depending on the end user applications. Production techniques include sintering, cold isostatic pressing and hot pressing.

Most of our products are manufactured from component chemicals and metal oxides supplied by various vendors. If we suddenly lost the services of a supplier, there could be a disruption in our manufacturing process until the supplier was replaced. We have identified several firms as potential back-up suppliers that would be capable of supplying these materials to us as necessary.

Metals

In addition to the ceramic targets previously mentioned, we produce metal sputtering targets and backing plates. The targets are bonded to the backing plates for application in the PVD industry. These targets can be produced by casting, hot pressing and machining of metals and metal alloys depending on the application.

Applications for metal targets are highly varied from applying decorative coatings for end uses such as sink faucets to the production of various electronic, photonic and semiconductor products.

We purchase various metals of reasonable high purity (often above 99.9%) for our applications. We are not dependent on a single source for these metals and do not believe losing a vendor would materially affect our business.

We have continually added production processes and testing equipment to enable us to manufacture and qualify many product compositions that can be used as PVD materials.

Competition

We have a number of domestic and international competitors in both the ceramic and metal fields, many of whom have resources far in excess of our resources. Tosoh, Materion, Kurt Lesker and Heraeus are competing suppliers in regard to targets.

Suppliers

Principal suppliers in 2013 were Silicon HQ, Sincemat Company, and Johnson Matthey. In every case, we have established alternate vendors that can be used to ensure availability of required materials. As volume grows, we may enter into alliances or purchasing contracts with these or other vendors.

Research and Development

We are developing sputtering targets for transparent electronic applications, which could be used to produce transparent thin film transistors via PVD processing. We have ongoing development for product improvements and new Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) and transparent dielectric materials for Thin Film Solar and wide area glass coating applications. We focus our research and development efforts in areas that build on our expertise in multi-component metal oxides.

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 work on the contract ended in 2013.

	5

Contract research revenues were $90,170 during 2013 and $226,369 during 2012 . We intend to continue to seek funded research opportunities within our core competencies that maintain and expand technical understanding within our company.

We have certain proprietary knowledge and trade secrets related to the manufacture of metal oxide PVD materials and patents covering some High Temperature Superconductor products.

New Product Initiatives

We have developed, produced and sold prototypes and innovative evaluation targets for glass coating applications. We anticipate commercializing this product in 2014.

We continue to develop TCO target materials for the Thin Film Solar market in partnership with both original equipment manufacturers and Thin Film Solar Cell panel fabricators. A combination of the Third Frontier Programs and the loans provided by the Ohio Department of Development and the Ohio Air Quality Development Authority have enabled us to accelerate both our development of new products and expanding our manufacturing capacity to meet demands in an evolving marketplace.

We are exploring opportunities in material systems utilizing zinc oxide and tin oxide doped with various materials for applications in displays and memory. There is considerable research being conducted to identify new and improved metal oxide thin film transistors (MOTFT) at the corporate and university level. These materials are a good fit with our core competencies. In addition, some of the MOTFT use the same base materials as our TCOs. Certain of the MOTFT materials could use similar or the same equipment as has been acquired for the manufacture of TCO products. We are continuing to develop additional contacts in R&D departments of several companies and at Universities focused on these areas of research.

We continue to pursue research and development opportunities with respect to new and innovative materials and processes to be used in connection with the production of solid state Thin Film Batteries. Presently, there are a few manufacturers of Thin Film Batteries in the United States, each in various stages of development from prototype to commercial activity. In addition, globally there are several firms and research institutes conducting tests on Thin Film Batteries. We believe this market may potentially become large with growth expected during the next few years. There are numerous applications for Thin Film Batteries, including, but not limited to, active RFID tags, battery on chip, portable electronics, medical implant devices, and remote sensors. Given the many potential uses for Thin Film Batteries, we anticipate that the market for materials will grow in direct proportion to the Thin Film Battery market itself.

We currently face competition from other producers of materials used in connection with the manufacture of Thin Film Batteries. We believe that we have certain competitive advantages in terms of quality. We intend to actively market our materials to Thin Film Battery producers in the upcoming year in order to maintain our strong presence in this market.

Intellectual Property

We have received a patent for Fine-Particle Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O Having High Phase Purity made by a Chemical Precipitation and Low-Pressure Calcination method from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. We also have received a patent for a process to join two individual strongly linked super-conductors utilizing a melt processing technique.

In the future, we may submit additional patent applications covering various inventions which have been developed by us. Because the publication of U.S. patent applications can be delayed for up to one year, they tend to lag behind actual discoveries and we may not be the first creator of inventions covered by pending patent applications or the first to file patent applications for such inventions. Additionally, other parties may independently develop similar technologies, duplicate our technologies or, if patents are issued to us or rights licensed by us, design around the patented aspects of any technologies we developed or licensed.

We rely on a combination of patent and trademark law, license agreements, internal procedures and nondisclosure agreements to protect our intellectual property. Unfortunately, these may be invalidated, circumvented or challenged. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries in which our products may be produced or sold may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.

	6

Employees

We had 20 full-time employees as of December 31, 2013. Early in January 2014 we hired an individual who holds a PhD in Material Science. We have never experienced a work stoppage and consider our relations with employees to be good. The employees do not have a bargaining unit.

Environmental Matters

We handle all materials according to Federal, State and Local environmental regulations and include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) with all shipments to customers. We maintain a collection of MSDS sheets for all raw materials used in the manufacture of products and maintenance of equipment and insure that all personnel follow the handling instructions contained in the MSDS for each material. We contract with a reputable fully permitted hazardous waste disposal company to dispose of the small amount of hazardous waste materials generated.

Collections and Write-offs

We collected receivables in an average of 29 days in 2013. We have occasionally been forced to write-off negligible amount of accounts receivable as uncollectible. We consider credit management critical to our success.

Seasonal Trends

We have not experienced and do not expect to experience seasonal trends in future business operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We desire to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The following factors have affected or could affect actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made. Investors should consider carefully the following risks and speculative factors inherent in and affecting the business of SCI and an investment in our common stock.

We have limited marketing and sales capabilities.

We continue to expand our marketing reach into Asia. We added a manufacturing representative for the Korean market and another for the Taiwanese and Chinese markets. We also added support for Japan. We must continue to develop appropriate marketing, sales, technical, customer service and distribution capabilities, or enter into agreements with third parties to provide these services to successfully market our products. A failure to develop these capabilities or obtain third-party agreements could adversely affect us.

Our success depends on our ability to retain key management personnel.

Our success depends in large part on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified management, administrative, manufacturing, sales, and research and development personnel. Due to the specialized nature of our business, it may be difficult to locate and hire qualified personnel. The loss of services of one of our executive officers or other key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other executive officers or key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Although we have been successful in planning for and retaining highly capable and qualified successor management in the past, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future.

We have a history of operating losses and may incur losses in the future.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, we had a loss from operations of $288,000 compared to $266,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. We provide no assurances that we will be able to operate profitably in the future. As of December 31, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $9,386,000.

	7

Management’s plans with respect to the objective of improving liquidity and profitability in future years include continuing to expand our business into new and current markets for our products, developing new products and increasing our revenue and presence in those markets. Management believes that the actions that will be taken by us provide the opportunity for improved liquidity and profitability. However, no assurances are made that such actions will result in sustained profitability.

Our competitors have far greater financial and other resources than we have.

The market for PVD materials is a substantial market with significant competition in both ceramic and metal materials. While we believe that our products enjoy certain competitive advantages in design, function, quality, and availability, considerable competition exists from well-established firms such as Materion Corporation, Kurt Lesker, Heraeus and Tosoh, all of which have more financial resources than us. We cannot provide assurance that developments by others will not render our products or technologies obsolete or less competitive.

Our revenues depend on patents and proprietary rights that may not be enforceable.

We rely on a combination of patent and trademark law, license agreements, internal procedures and nondisclosure agreements to protect our intellectual property. These may be invalidated, circumvented or challenged. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries in which our products may be produced or sold may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Our failure to protect our proprietary information could adversely affect us.

Rights we have to patents and pending patent applications may be challenged.

We have received, from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, a patent for Fine-Particle Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O Having High Phase Purity made by a Chemical Precipitation and Low-Pressure Calcination method, and have also received a patent for a process to join two individual strongly linked super-conductors utilizing a melt processing technique. In the future, we may submit additional patent applications covering various applications. The patent applications that we may file in the future may not result in patents being issued, and any patents issued may not afford meaningful protection against competitors with similar technology, and may be challenged by third parties.

Because U.S. patent applications are maintained in secret until patents are issued, and because publications of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature tend to lag behind actual discoveries by several months, we may not be the first creator of inventions covered by issued patents or pending patent applications or the first to file patent applications for such inventions. Moreover, other parties may independently develop similar technologies, duplicate our technologies or, if patents are issued to us or rights licensed by us, design around the patented aspects of any technologies we developed or licensed. We may have to participate in interference proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to determine the priority of inventions, which could result in substantial costs. Litigation may also be necessary to enforce any patents held by or issued to us or to determine the scope and validity of others' proprietary rights, which could result in substantial costs.

The rapid technological changes of our industry may adversely affect us if we do not keep pace with advancing technology.

The PVD market is characterized by rapidly advancing technology. Our success depends on our ability to keep pace with advancing technology and processes and industry standards. We have focused our development efforts on sputtering targets. We intend to continue to develop innovative materials and integrate those advances to the thin film coatings industry. However, our development efforts may be rendered obsolete by research efforts and technological advances made by others, and materials other than those we currently use may prove more advantageous.

Additional development of our products may be necessary due to uncertainty regarding development of markets.

Some of our products are in the early stages of commercialization and we believe that it will be several years before these products will have significant commercial end-use applications, and that significant development work may be necessary to improve the commercial feasibility and acceptance of these products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to commercialize any of the products currently under development.

To date, there has been no widespread commercial use of HTS products. Additionally, the market for the Thin Film Battery materials is still in its early stages. At present, we have several customers for the materials we produce for Thin Film Batteries. Since we have begun producing materials for the Thin Film Battery market, we have experienced no problems securing the supplies needed to produce the materials. We do not anticipate supply problems in the near future. However, changes in production methods and advancing technologies could render our current products obsolete and new production protocols may require supplies that are less available in the marketplace, which may cause a slowing or complete halt to production as well as expanding costs which we may or may not be able to pass on to our customers. Some of our materials are in early stages of development for Thin Film Solar (TFS) applications. The TFS market is expected to grow during the next few years.

Changes in the strategies of key trade customers may adversely affect our business.

Our products are sold in a highly competitive global marketplace which continues to experience increased concentration. We may be negatively affected by changes in the strategies of our trade customers, such as inventory de-stocking, limitations on access to shelf space, delisting of our products, and other conditions. If we lose a key customer or if sales of our products to a key customer materially decrease, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

If solar technology is not suitable for widespread adoption or takes longer to develop than we anticipate, our sales may not be sufficient to achieve profitability.

The Thin Film Solar energy market that we supply is at a relatively early stage of development, and the extent to which solar modules will be widely adopted is uncertain. Although the industry has experienced rapid growth, recent overcapacity in the market has created difficulties for some of our current and potential customers in the Thin Film Solar industry. Adoption of our products by parts of this market is important to our long term growth. If the technology proves unsuitable for widespread adoption at economically attractive rates of return or if demand for Thin Film Solar modules fails to develop sufficiently or takes longer to develop than we anticipate, we may be unable to grow our business or generate sufficient sales to achieve profitability.

Our failure to comply with our debt covenants could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our debt agreements contain certain covenants. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the applicable agreement. If a default were to occur, we would likely seek a waiver of that default, attempt to reset the covenant, or refinance the instrument and accompanying obligations. If we were unable to obtain this relief, the default could result in the acceleration of the total due related to that debt obligation. If a default were to occur, we may not be able to pay our debts or borrow sufficient funds to refinance them. Any of these events, if they occur, could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

A lack of credit and/or limited financing availability to the Company, its vendors, dealers, or end users could adversely affect our business.

Our liquidity and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected if our ability to borrow money from new or existing lenders to finance our operations is reduced or eliminated. Similar adverse effects may also result if we realize lessened credit availability from trade creditors. Additionally, many of our customers require availability of financing to facilitate the purchase of our products. As a result, a continuing period of reduced credit availability in the marketplace could have adverse effects on our business.

Environmental compliance costs and liabilities associated with our facility may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental and health and safety laws and regulations with respect to our operations. These laws and regulations address various matters, including asbestos, fuel oil management, wastewater discharges, air emissions, and hazardous wastes. The costs of complying with these laws and regulations and the penalties for non-compliance can be substantial. For example, with respect to leased property, we may be held liable for costs relating to the investigation and cleanup of our leased property from which there has been a release or threatened release of a regulated material as well as other properties affected by the release. In addition to these costs, which are typically not limited by law or regulation and could exceed the property’s value, we could be liable for certain other costs, including, without limitation, governmental fines and injuries to persons, property or natural resources. Further, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and the costs it incurs in connection with the contamination. While we are not aware of any potential environmental problems, no assurances are made that such problems and costs associated with them will not arise in the future. If any of our properties were found to violate environmental laws, we may be required to expend significant amounts of time and money to rehabilitate the property, and we may be subject to significant liability. Any environmental compliance costs and liabilities incurred may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Disaster and other adverse events may seriously harm our business.

Our facility manufacturing may suffer harm as a result of natural or man-made disasters such as storms, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, terrorist attacks and other conditions. Such events may disrupt our operations, harm our operations and employees, severely damage or destroy our facility, harm our business, reputation and financial performance, or otherwise cause our business to suffer in ways that cannot currently be predicted.

The costs of being publicly owned may strain our resources and impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls for financial reporting. We are required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

These requirements may place a strain on our systems and resources and have required us, and may in the future require us, to hire additional accounting and financial resources with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. In addition, failure to maintain such internal controls could result in us being unable to provide timely and reliable financial information which could potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities or cause us to be late in the filing of required reports or financial results. Any of the foregoing events could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our business requires us to make capital expenditures to maintain and improve our facilities.

Our facilities sometimes require capital expenditures to address ongoing required maintenance and upgrade our capabilities. In addition, we often are required to make significant capital expenditures in order to satisfy customer requirements and to produce newly developed products.

Take over defense provisions in Ohio law and our corporate governance documents may delay or prevent takeover attempts preventing our shareholders from realizing a premium on their stock.

Various provisions of the Ohio corporation laws as well as our corporate governance documents may inhibit changes in control not approved by our Board of Directors and may have the effect of depriving our investors of an opportunity to receive a premium over the prevailing market price of our common stock in the event of an attempted hostile takeover. In addition, the existence of these provisions may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. These provisions include:

A requirement that a special meeting of the shareholders must be called by our Board of Directors, Chairman, the President or the holders of shares with voting powers of at least fifty percent (50%);

Advanced notice requirements for shareholder proposals and nominations; and

The availability of “blank check preferred stock.”

Our Board of Directors can use these and other provisions to prevent, delay or discourage a change in control of the company or a change in our management. Any such delay or prevention of a change in control of management could deter potential acquirers or prevent the completion of a takeover transaction to which our shareholders could receive a substantial premium over the current market price of our common stock, which may in turn limit the price investors might be willing to pay for our common stock.

Provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations provide for indemnification of officers and directors which could require us to divert funds away from our business and operations.

Our Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulation provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors. We may be required to advance costs incurred by an officer or director to pay judgments, fines and expenses incurred by an officer or director, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, as a result of actions or proceedings in which our officers and directors are involved by reason being or having been an officer or director of our company. Funds paid in satisfaction of judgments, fines, and expenses may be funds we need for operation and growth of our business.

	10

The market for our common stock is limited, and as such our shareholders may have difficulty reselling their shares when desired or at attractive market prices.

Our stock price and our listing may make it more difficult for our shareholders to resell shares when desired or at attractive prices. In 2001, our stock began trading on The Over the Counter Bulletin Board, now known as the OTC Markets. Our common stock trades in low volumes and at low prices. Some investors view low-priced stocks as unduly speculative and therefore not appropriate candidates for investment. Many institutional investors have internal policies prohibiting the purchase or maintenance of positions in low-priced stocks. This has the effect of limiting the pool of potential purchases of our common stock at present price levels. Shareholders may find greater percentage spreads between bid and asked prices, and more difficulty in completing transactions and higher transaction costs when buying or selling our common stock than they would if our stock were listed on a major stock exchange, such as The New York Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq National Market.

Our common stock has been subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “penny stock” regulations, which may limit the liquidity of common stock held by our shareholders .

At the present time, our common stock trades on the OTC Markets’ OTCQB Market Tier under the symbol “SCIA:OTCQB.” Based on its trading price, our common stock is considered a “penny stock” for purposes of federal securities laws, and therefore has been subject to regulations, which affected the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities. Broker-dealers who recommend a “penny stock” to persons (other than established customers and accredited investors) must make a special written suitability determination and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale.

If penny stock regulations apply to our common stock, it may be difficult to trade the stock because compliance with the regulations can delay and/or preclude certain trading transactions. Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in common stock because of the sales practice and disclosure requirements for penny stock. This could adversely affect the liquidity and/or price of our common stock, and impede the sale of the common stock in the secondary market.

The increasing costs of being a public company may strain our resources and impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a public company, we are subject to reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls for financial reporting. We are required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

These requirements may place a strain on our systems and resources in the future and may require us to hire additional accounting and financial staff with the appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. In addition, the failure to maintain such internal controls can result in our being unable to provide timely and reliable financial information which could potentially subject us to sanctions and investigations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or events could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Although we have taken steps to maintain our internal control structure as required by the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we cannot provide any assurances that controlled deficiencies will not occur in the future.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue additional shares of stock.

We are authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of common stock, which may be issued by our board of directors for such consideration, as they may consider sufficient without seeking shareholder approval. The issuance of additional shares of common stock in the future may reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of current shareholders.

	11

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue up to 260,000 shares of preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock in the future could create additional securities which would have dividend and liquidation preferences prior to the outstanding shares of common stock. These provisions could also impede a non-negotiated change in control.

We have not paid dividends on our common stock in the past and do not expect to do so in the future.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our shares of common stock and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings for use in the business. As a result, investors must rely on sales of the common stock after price appreciation, which may not occur, as the only way to realize future gains on their investments.

The quotations provided herein may reflect inter-dealer prices without retail mark-up, markdown, or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions.

Based on its trading price, our common stock is considered a “penny stock” for purposes of federal securities laws, and therefore has been subject to certain regulations, which are summarized below.

Our common stock is classified as a penny stock and as such, broker dealers trading our common stock will be subject to the disclosure rules for transactions involving penny stocks, which require the broker dealer to determine if purchasing our common stock is suitable for a particular investor. The broker dealer must also obtain the written consent of purchasers to purchase our common stock. The broker dealer must also disclose the best bid and offer prices available for our stock and the price at which the broker dealer last purchased or sold our common stock. These additional burdens imposed on broker dealers may discourage them from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could make it difficult for an investor to sell their shares.

Holders of Record

As of December 31, 2013, there were approximately 414 holders of record of our common stock and 3,852,898 shares outstanding. At December 31, 2013 there were approximately 44 holders of Series B Preferred stock and 24,152 shares outstanding.

Dividends

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings for use in the business.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Executive Summary

Total revenue, gross profit and bookings increased for the third consecutive quarter during the three months ended December 31, 2013. Revenue was $2,940,008 during the three months ended December 31, 2013. This was $752,021, or 34.4% greater than the fourth quarter of 2012. The higher revenue was due to increased volume and improved product mix. Backlog was $3.4 million at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013.

Gross profit was $547,666 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 which more than doubled the gross profit of $256,810 for the fourth quarter of 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 18.6% for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to 11.7% for the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily related to increased revenue and continued cost containment.

Specific cost reductions, which included management wages, were implemented during the second quarter of 2013 and remained in place into the fourth quarter of 2013. Wages were lower in 2013 by approximately $86,000. Due to increased customer demand during the fourth quarter of 2013 all wage reductions ended and employees returned to full work schedules.

For the three months ended December 31, 2013, we had income from operations of $93,939 compared to a loss from operations of $216,672 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. We had income applicable to common shares of $95,720 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to a loss applicable to common shares of $243,601 for the fourth quarter of 2012.

As of December 31, 2013, cash on-hand was $622,727 compared to $630,819 at December 31, 2012. Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $409,000 during 2013. At December 31, 2013 working capital was $917,900 compared to $802,187 at December 31, 2012, an increase of $115,713 or 14.4%.

Total debt outstanding decreased during 2013 from approximately $1,758,000 to approximately $1,393,000, or 20.8%. Cash of approximately $452,000 was used towards principal payments to third parties for capital lease obligations and notes payable.

We invested approximately $127,000 in new equipment during 2013 and approximately $588,000 during 2012. Given identified market opportunities, we continue to invest in internally financed research and development, marketing, and sales for all of our markets. We also continue to invest in developing new products for the solar and glass industries including transparent conductive oxide systems and transparent electronics which have led to new customers for these products. These efforts include accelerating time to market.

Previous investments have resulted in trial and qualification orders that were shipped to customers in the solar and glass industries during the last two years. We continue to work closely with all of our customers and are positioned to meet their near term product requirements.

Results of Operations

Year 2013 As Compared to Year 2012

Revenue

	15

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 was $1,536,292 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $1,657,162 for 2012, a decrease of 7.3%. The decrease in gross profit in 2013 was due to the aforementioned lower revenue during 2013. Gross profit was 19.3% of total revenue in 2013 compared to 18.9% in 2012.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased to $1,052,181 from $1,109,197 for the year ended December 31, 2012, or 5.1%. General and administrative expense for 2013 included lower bad debt expense of approximately $57,000 and lower professional fees of approximately $10,000. Travel expenses increased by approximately $20,000 during 2013. We continue to monitor all expenses.

Professional Fees

Included in general and administrative expense was $192,454 and $202,690 for professional fees for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. A decrease in accounting fees was partially offset by higher professional fees in other areas. These expenses were primarily related to SEC compliance costs for legal, accounting and stockholder relations’ fees.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $324,035 compared to $311,646 during 2012, an increase of 4.0%. Despite lower costs of approximately $62,000 related to developing innovative transparent conductive oxide systems, R&D expense was higher in 2013 compared to 2012 as all research grant work was completed. As they related to contract research revenue certain R&D expenses were included in cost of revenue. Our research and development endeavors have moved us beyond the scope of recent federal and state grants and awards.

Marketing and Sales Expense

Marketing and sales expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased 10.8% to $448,166 from $502,628 for the same period in 2012. This decrease was related to lower compensation expense of approximately $35,000 as well as lower travel expense and commissions to our outside manufacturing sales representatives of approximately $21,000.

Stock Compensation Expense

Non cash stock based compensation costs were $134,701 and $136,889 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Compensation cost for all stock-based awards is based on the grant date fair value and recognized over the required service (vesting) period . Unrecognized non cash stock based compensation expense related to operating expense was $404,726 as of December 31, 2013 and will be recognized through 2017.

Interest, net

Interest, net was $73,245 and $85,570 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease was due to continued payments reducing principal balances. The second quarter of 2012 included a higher interest rate on one of the loans from an agency of the State of Ohio which was subsequently reduced.

Income Taxes

Income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $27,348 which was due primarily to the reversal of an accrual. There is no provision for income taxes in 2013 as we have net operating loss carryforwards available of approximately $3,900,000 which expire in varying amounts through 2031.

Loss Applicable to Common Stock

Loss applicable to common stock was $311,798 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to a loss of $350,124 for the year ended December 31, 2012. This improvement was attributed to lower operating expenses of approximately $99,000 and gain from the sale of two pieces of equipment of $74,000 despite lower revenue as previously disclosed. In addition, we had $134,701 and $136,889 in non-cash stock compensation expenses during 2013 and 2012, respectively. These charges had a material effect on our Statement of Operations.

Common Stock

The following schedule represents our outstanding common stock during the period of 2014 through 2019 assuming all outstanding stock options are exercised during the year of expiration. Based on outstanding shares at December 31, 2013, if each shareholder exercises his or her options, it would increase our common shares by 706,500 to 4,559,398 by December 31, 2019. Assuming all such options are exercised in the year of expiration, the effect on shares outstanding is illustrated as follows:

	Options		Potential	Weighted
	due to		shares	Average
Year	expire		outstanding	Exercise Price
2014		175,000	4,027,898	$	4.41
2015		130,000	4,157,898	$	3.02
2016		31,000	4,188,898	$	3.25
2017		-	4,188,898		-
2018		6,000	4,194,898	$	3.10
2019		364,500	4,559,398	$	6.00

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash

As of December 31, 2013, cash on-hand was $622,727. Cash was $630,819 at December 31, 2012. Cash flow from operations was $408,874 and $437,271 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We believe, based on forecasted sales and expenses, that cash flow from operations will be adequate to sustain operations at least through December 31, 2014.

Working Capital

At December 31, 2013 working capital was $917,900 compared to $802,187 at December 31, 2012, an increase of $115,713 or 14.4% from year end 2012. Cash decreased approximately $8,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013. Accounts receivable increased approximately $181,000 due to increased shipments late in 2013 compared to the same time period in 2012. Inventories increased approximately $895,000, customer deposits increased approximately $792,000 and accounts payable increased approximately $196,000 due to orders received during the fourth quarter of 2013 and scheduled to ship during the first half of 2014. Prepaid expenses were lower by approximately $153,000 due to payments made late in 2012 for raw material that was delivered during the first quarter of 2013. Current capital lease obligations decreased by approximately $117,000 while current notes payable decreased by approximately $69,000 due to scheduled regular payments.

Cash from Operations

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $409,000 and $437,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition to the changes in various current assets and liabilities mentioned above, non cash expenses for depreciation, accretion and amortization decreased to approximately $573,000 during 2013 from $588,000 during 2012, a decrease of 2.4%. Included in expenses were non cash stock based compensation costs of $134,701 and $136,889, and non cash inventory adjustments of approximately $35,000 and $42,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There was a net gain on disposal of equipment of approximately $74,000 during 2013. A non cash charge during 2012 of $30,000 increased the allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2012 and was subsequently reversed in 2013.

	17

Cash from Investing Activities

Cash of approximately $35,000 was provided by investing activities during 2013. Proceeds on sale of equipment were approximately $75,000 and purchases of property and equipment was approximately $40,000 during 2013. Cash of approximately $588,000 was used for investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2012. The amounts invested were used to purchase machinery and equipment for increased production capacity and new product lines.

Cash from Financing Activities

Cash of approximately $452,000 was used in financing activities towards principal payments to third parties for capital lease obligations and notes payable during 2013.

Cash of approximately $17,000 was used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012. Principal payments to third parties for capital lease obligations and notes payable approximated $950,000. Proceeds from notes payable were approximately $934,000 of which $462,000 was received from the Ohio Department of Development and used to pay a portion of the Note from The Huntington National Bank.

Debt Outstanding

Total debt outstanding decreased during 2013 from approximately $1,758,000 to approximately $1,393,000, or 20.8%. We paid cash of approximately $452,000 towards principal amounts of capital lease obligations and notes payable during 2013. We incurred a new capital lease obligation of approximately $86,000 for new production equipment during 2013.

Liquidity

We have forecasted revenues and related costs as well as investing plans and financing needs to determine liquidity to meet cash flow requirements and believe we will have sufficient liquidity at least through December 31, 2014. This forecast was based on current cash levels and debt obligations, and our best estimates of revenues primarily from existing customers and gave consideration to the continued and possible increased levels of uncertainty in demand in the markets in which we operate. Our ability to maintain current operations is dependent upon our ability to achieve these forecasted results, which we believe will occur.

We do not currently have any available sources of additional external funding. Our revolving line of credit arrangement with our senior lender expired on April 13, 2012. There was no balance outstanding under this arrangement at maturity. We did not have the need to draw on the revolving line of credit since the original commitment date of January 13, 2009. We do not anticipate the need for a similar credit facility in 2014; although we may pursue revolving credit arrangements as working capital requirements increase. Our ability to obtain a new line of credit, if deemed necessary, is not certain.

During the second quarter of 2013 we enacted various cost cutting measures which included management wage reductions and reduced work hours where feasible. Due to increased customer demand during the fourth quarter all wage reductions ended and employees returned to full work schedules. Should projected sales and gross profit fall below levels expected to be achieved, cost reduction actions could be reinstituted, which we believe would facilitate the continued operation of the Company. The implementation of such reductions and the timing of their impact are not fully predictable.

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company replaced an existing Promissory Note with The Huntington National Bank with a new Promissory Note which extended the maturity date from February 2014 to August 2016. The Company also agreed to payment schedule modifications with the Ohio Development Services Agency for two loans and the Ohio Air Quality Development Authority as discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements. These debt modifications will ease cash flow requirements relating to debt servicing in 2014.

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 the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory allowances, property and equipment depreciable lives, patents and license useful lives, revenue recognition, tax valuation allowance, stock based compensation 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 profit 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. 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.

Inflation

We believe there has not been a significant impact from inflation on our operations during the past three fiscal years.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

	19

Our management, with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting 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 Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2013, 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 Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. 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 operations, 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 are 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.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in the 1992 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2013. The matter involving internal controls over financial reporting that management considered to be a material weakness under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) was 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 should be performed by separate individuals.

In order to remediate this weakness, we will 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.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f)) that occurred in the last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders

SCI Engineered Materials, Inc.

Columbus , Ohio

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.

Business Organization and Purpose

SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. (“SCI”, ”we” or the “Company”), formerly Superconductive Components, Inc., an Ohio corporation, was incorporated in 1987. The Company operates in one segment as a global supplier and manufacturer of advanced materials for Physical Vapor Deposition (“PVD”) Thin Film Applications. The Company is focused on specific markets within the PVD industry (Photonics, Thin Film Solar, Thin Film Battery and Transparent Electronics). Substantially, all of the Company’s revenues were generated from domestic customers. Approximately 96 % and 86 % of the revenues during 2013 and 2012, respectively, were from products sold in the Photonics market. Through partnerships with end users and Original Equipment Manufacturers the Company develops innovative customized solutions enabling commercial success.

Note 2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A. Cash - The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash.

B. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The estimated fair value of amounts reported in the financial statements have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies, as applicable (see Note 9).

C. Concentrations of Credit Risk - The Company’s cash balances, which are at times in excess of federally insured levels, are maintained at a large regional bank and a global investment banking group, and are continually monitored to minimize the risk of loss. The Company grants credit to most customers, who are varied in terms of size, geographic location and financial strength. Customer balances are continually monitored to minimize the risk of loss.

The Company’s two largest customers accounted for 38 % and 37 % of total revenue in 2013. These two customers represented 61 % of the accounts receivable trade balance at December 31, 2013. The Company expects to collect all outstanding accounts receivables as of December 31, 2013 from these customers.

The Company’s two largest customers accounted for 48 % and 15 % of total revenue in 2012. These two customers represented 30 % of the accounts receivable trade balance at December 31, 2012. The Company subsequently collected all outstanding accounts receivables as of December 31, 2012 from these customers.

D. Accounts Receivable - The Company extends unsecured credit to customers under normal trade agreements, which require payment within 30 days. The Company does not charge interest on delinquent trade accounts receivable. Unless specified by the customer, payments are applied to the oldest unpaid invoice. Accounts receivable are presented at the amount billed.

Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts, which was approximately $ 15,000 and $ 45,000 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This estimate is based upon management’s review of delinquent accounts and an assessment of the Company’s historical evidence of collections. Specific accounts are charged directly to the reserve when management obtains evidence of a customer’s insolvency or otherwise determines that the account is uncollectible.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

E. Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on an acquired or internally produced lot basis, and consist of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. Cost includes material, labor, freight and applied overhead. Inventory reserves are established for obsolete inventory, lower of cost or market, and excess inventory quantities based on management’s estimate of net realizable value. The Company had an inventory reserve of $ 134,863 at December 31, 2013, and $ 100,000 at December 31, 2012.

F. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. Useful lives range from three years on computer equipment to sixteen years on certain equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease. Depreciation expense totaled $ 562,108 and $ 576,445 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference. There was no property and equipment considered impaired during 2013 or 2012.

G. Deferred Financing Costs - Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight-line method, the result of which is not materially different from the use of the interest method. Deferred financing costs totaled $ 38,543 and $ 47,982 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The related amortization expense of these costs for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $ 9,439 and is included in interest expense on the statements of operations.

H. Intangible Assets - The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment and performs detailed testing whenever impairment indicators are present. If necessary, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess of carrying value over fair value. There were no intangible assets considered impaired during 2013 or 2012.

The Company has secured patents for manufacturing processes used in its operations. Costs incurred to secure the patents have been capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the patents. Cost and accumulated amortization of the patents at December 31, 2013 were $ 36,473 and $ 25,414 respectively. Cost and accumulated amortization of the patents at December 31, 2012 were $ 36,473 and $ 23,584 respectively. Amortization expense was approximately $ 1,830 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Amortization expense is estimated to be at least $ 1,830 for each of the next five years.

Note 2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

I. Revenue Recognition - 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 in which qualifying expenses are incurred for the research that is performed as set forth under the terms of the grant award agreements.

J. Stock Based Compensation - Compensation cost for all stock-based awards is based on the grant date fair value and is recognized over the required service (vesting) period. Non cash stock based compensation expense was $ 101,181 and $ 103,529 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, 2013 included $ 33,520 of non cash stock based compensation expense for stock grants awarded to the four non-employee board members and the Chief Executive Officer. 2012 included $ 33,360 of non cash stock based compensation expense for stock grants awarded to the four non-employee board members. Unrecognized compensation expense was $ 404,726 as of December 31, 2013 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.

K. Research and Development - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $ 324,035 and $ 311,646 , respectively. The Company continues to develop innovative metal oxide systems to further align activities with customer needs.

L. Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided for by utilizing the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance which is established when “it is more likely than not” that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be recognized.

M. Use of Estimates - 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory allowances, property and equipment depreciable lives, patents and licenses useful lives, revenue recognition, tax valuation, stock based compensation and assessing changes in which impairment of certain long-lived assets may occur. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated as income available (loss attributable) to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as diluted income available (loss attributable) to common stockholders divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding. 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 years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, all convertible and preferred stock and common stock options listed in Note 7 were excluded from diluted earnings per share due to being out-of-the-money or anti-dilutive.

The Company follows guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB ASC 740 ”) with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more-likely-than-not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits under guidance related to tax uncertainties. The Company does not anticipate the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Any tax penalties or interest expense will be recognized in income tax expense. No interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were accrued at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company is open to federal and state tax audits until the applicable statute of limitations expire. There are currently no federal or state income tax examinations underway for the Company. The tax years 2010 through 2012 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price), and not the price that would be paid to acquire an asset or received to assume a liability (an entry price). Significant differences can arise between the fair value and carrying amount of financial instruments that are recognized at historical cost amounts.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term notes payable and capital lease obligations and current maturities of long-term notes payable and capital lease obligations: Amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair market value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

Long-term note payable obligations: Amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value as the interest rates on the obligations range from 3 % to 5 %, which approximates current fair market rates.

Note 10.

Asset Retirement Obligation

Included in machinery and equipment is various production equipment, which per the Company’s building lease, is required to be removed upon termination of the related lease. Included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet is the asset retirement obligation that represents the expected present value of the liability to remove this equipment. There are no assets that are legally restricted for purposes of settling this asset retirement obligation.

Following is a reconciliation of the aggregate retirement liability associated with the Company’s obligation to dismantle and remove the machinery and equipment associated with its lease:

Balance at January 1, 2012	$	32,218
Increase in present value of the obligation (accretion expense in the corresponding amount charged against earnings)		8,640
Balance at December 31, 2012	$	40,858
Increase in present value of the obligation (accretion expense in the corresponding amount charged against earnings)		9,420
Balance at December 31, 2013	$	50,278

Note 11.

Subsequent Events

On February 18, 2014 the four non-employee board members each received compensation of 1,500 shares of common stock of the Company with an aggregate value of $ 6,840 . This was recorded as non cash stock compensation expense in the financial statements during 2014.

On January 24, 2014, the Company entered into a capital lease agreement for $ 30,495 for the purchase of new equipment. This lease includes a term of 36 months and an interest rate of 7.5 %.

Liquidity

Management has forecasted revenues and related costs as well as investing plans and financing needs to determine liquidity to meet cash flow requirements and believes the Company will have sufficient liquidity at least through December 31, 2014. This forecast was based on current cash levels and debt obligations, and the best estimates of revenues primarily from existing customers and gave consideration to the continued and possible increased levels of uncertainty in demand in the markets in which the Company operates. The Company’s ability to maintain current operations is dependent upon its ability to achieve these forecasted results, which the Company believes will occur.

The Company currently does not have any available sources of additional external funding. The revolving line of credit arrangement with its senior lender expired on April 13, 2012. There was no balance outstanding under this arrangement at maturity. The Company did not have the need to draw on the revolving line of credit since the original commitment date of January 13, 2009. The Company does not anticipate the need for a similar credit facility in 2014; although it may pursue revolving credit arrangements as working capital requirements increase. The Company’s ability to obtain a new line of credit, if deemed necessary, is not certain.

During the second quarter of 2013 the Company enacted various cost cutting measures which included management wage reductions and reduced work hours where feasible. Due to increased customer demand during the fourth quarter all wage reductions ended and employees returned to full work schedules. Should projected sales and gross profit fall below levels expected to be achieved, cost reduction actions could be reinstituted, which we believe would facilitate the continued operation of the Company. The implementation of such reductions and the timing of their impact are not fully predictable.

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company replaced an existing Promissory Note with The Huntington National Bank with a new Promissory Note which extended the maturity date from February 2014 to August 2016. The Company also agreed to payment schedule modifications for two loans with the Ohio Development Services Agency and one loan with the Ohio Air Quality Development Authority as discussed in Note 4 of the financial statements. These debt modifications will ease cash flow requirements relating to debt servicing in 2014 .
