Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements September 30, 2026 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Business Organization and Purpose

SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. (“SCI,” “we” or the “Company”), 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 markets within the photonics industry and substantially all revenues are generated from customers with multi-national operations. The Company develops innovative customized solutions enabling commercial success through collaboration with end users and Original Equipment Manufacturers.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim condensed financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition - The Company enters into contracts with its customers that generally represent purchase orders specifying general terms and conditions, order quantities and per unit product prices. The Company has determined that each unit of product purchased represents a separate performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and recognizes revenue at a point in time when control of a unit of product is transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. For the majority of product sales, transfer of control occurs when the products are shipped from the Company’s manufacturing facility to the customer. The cost of delivering products to the Company’s customers is recorded as a component of the cost of products sold. Those costs may include the amounts paid to a third party to deliver the products. Any freight costs billed to and paid by a customer are included in revenue.

The Company considers collectability of amounts due under a contract to be probable upon inception of a sale based on an evaluation of the creditworthiness of each customer. The Company sells its products typically under agreements with payment terms of 30-60 days. The Company does not normally include extended payment terms or significant financing components in contracts with customers. The majority of the Company’s contracts have an obligation to transfer products within one year. Thus, the Company elects to use the practical expedient where incremental cost of obtaining a contract, such as commissions, is expensed when incurred because the amortization period for those costs is one year or less. The Company treats shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the product transfers as fulfillment activities and therefore does not account for shipping and handling costs as a separate performance obligation. Customer deposits are funds received in advance from customers and are recognized as revenue when the Company has transferred control of product to the customer. Product revenues are recognized upon shipment of goods when control transfers to the customer, at which point the Company has a present right to payment and the customer has a legal title and physical possession of the product.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

All revenue was from the photonics industry for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The top two customers represented 86% and 83% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company sells multiple products to its top two customers. International shipments were 0.4% and 1.0% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Accounts receivable – The following table presents changes in the Company’s accounts receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:


		Balance at beginning of period	Billings			Payments received		Balance at end of period
Nine months ended September 30, 2026
Accounts receivable	$	694,864	$	25,701,895	$	(25,245,077)	$	1,151,682

Nine months ended September 30, 2025
Accounts receivable	$	704,808	$	12,398,652	$	(12,204,550)	$	898,910

Customer deposits – Amounts that have been invoiced are recognized in accounts receivable, customer deposits or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Customer deposits represent amounts billed for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Customer deposits typically relate to uncompleted purchase orders which have been partially paid for by customers prior to performance of those services or transfer of control of the product. The following table presents changes in contract liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:


		Balance at beginning of period		Billings		Recognized revenue		Balance at end of period
Nine months ended September 30, 2026
Contract Liabilities: Customer deposits	$	829,158	$	22,529,686	$	(19,794,332)	$	3,564,512

Nine months ended September 30, 2025
Contract Liabilities: Customer deposits	$	337,873	$	11,508,166	$	(7,813,815)	$	4,032,224

Revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 that was included in customer deposits at the beginning of the respective period was $829,158 and $337,873, respectively.

Note 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed the accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Applicable pronouncements are adopted by the Company in accordance with the accounting guidance and definition. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted – In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), as clarified by ASU 2025-01, which requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation and depreciation included in each relevant expense caption. ASU 2024-03 is effective for

Table of Contents

Note 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statement disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient that permits an entity to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of current accounts receivable and current contract assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Note 4. Investments

Money market funds, where quoted prices are available in an active market, are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company invested in a money market fund which had a fair value of $5,151,776 and $5,500,903 at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. This is valued at original cost plus interest and is included in cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheets.

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held investments in corporate bonds rated BBB+ or higher that are required to be measured for disclosure purposes at fair value on a recurring basis. The bonds are considered held-to-maturity and are recorded at amortized cost on the balance sheet. These investments are considered level 2 as detailed in the table below. The Company considers investments which will mature in the next twelve months and interest receivable on the long-term bonds as current assets. The remaining investments are considered non-current assets including the investment in marketable securities which the Company intends to hold longer than twelve months. The fair value of these investments was estimated using recently executed transactions and market price quotations. At September 30, 2026, the length of time until maturity of the bonds currently owned ranged from 1 to 27 months. The amortized cost, allowance for credit losses, fair value, and the related unrealized gains and losses of these investments, were as follows:


					Gross			Gross
		Amortized			Unrealized			Unrealized
		Cost			Losses			Gains			Fair Value
September 30, 2026
Corporate bonds		$	3,369,813		$	(45,317)		$	—		$	3,324,496
Total investments		$	3,369,813		$	(45,317)		$	—		$	3,324,496

Allowance for credit losses			(1,000)
Total investments, net		$	3,368,813

December 31, 2025
Corporate bonds		$	3,368,125		$	—		$	7,156		$	3,375,281
Total investments		$	3,368,125		$	—		$	7,156		$	3,375,281

Allowance for credit losses			(1,000)
Total investments, net		$	3,367,125

The Company uses an “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for held-to-maturity securities at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The Company monitors the credit quality of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity using their respective credit ratings and updates them on a quarterly basis with the latest assessment completed on September 30, 2026. Our allowance for credit losses was $1,000 at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Expected credit losses are adjusted each period as necessary for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. The credit

Table of Contents

Note 4. Investments (continued)

loss calculations for held-to-maturity securities are based upon historical default and recovery rates of bonds rated with the same rating as the current portfolio. An adjustment factor is applied to these credit loss calculations based upon management’s assessment of the expected impact from current economic conditions on our investments.

Note 5. Common Stock and Stock Options

Stock based compensation cost for all stock awards is based on the grant date fair value and recognized over the required service (vesting) period. There was no stock based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2026 or the same period in 2025.

Employees received compensation of 16,596 and 10,852 aggregate shares of common stock of the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The shares granted in the first nine months of 2026 had an aggregate value of $87,129 compared to $47,206 for the same period in 2025. These amounts were recorded as non-cash stock compensation expense in the financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Employee Stock Options

There were no stock options remaining as of September 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Treasury Stock

Note 7. Earnings Per Share

Basic income per share is calculated as net income divided by the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net income 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. Diluted earnings per share exclude all diluted potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no stock options or other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026; accordingly, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same for the 2026 periods. The dilutive effect for the 2025 periods relates to stock options that were outstanding during those periods. The following is provided to reconcile the earnings per share calculations:


		Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
		2026			2025			2026			2025
Net income		$	862,312		$	510,279		$	2,494,850		$	1,184,455

Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic			4,450,003			4,578,979			4,456,670			4,573,970

Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted			4,450,003			4,583,142			4,456,670			4,578,226

Note 8. Line of Credit

The Company renewed its line of credit with a regional bank for $1 million during the third quarter of 2026. This line of credit has a maturity date of August 29, 2027 and bears interest equal to the rate of interest per annum established by the bank as its Prime Rate. No amounts were drawn on this line of credit as of September 30, 2026 nor December 31,2025.

Note 9. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate, adjusted for permanent differences and specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred. The effective tax rate was 22.7% and 22.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 22.7% for the same periods in 2025. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21% is primarily due to the effect of state and local taxes.

The following table presents the income tax expense:


		Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
		2026			2025			2026			2025
Federal		$	234,185		$	138,627		$	673,887		$	321,779
State and local			18,952			11,222			54,547			26,050
		$	253,137		$	149,849		$	728,434		$	347,829

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and financial reporting purposes. As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred taxes. Accordingly, management determined that no valuation allowance was necessary at September 30, 2026 nor December 31, 2025. The deferred tax liability was $615,244 at September 30, 2026 and $389,572 at December 31, 2025.

Note 11. Segment Information

Operating segments are components of an enterprise that engage in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer.

We operate as one operating and reportable segment, in one location, as a global supplier and manufacturer of advanced materials for Physical Vapor Deposition thin film applications. We are managed on a consolidated basis and derive substantially all of our revenue from the sale and support of one group of similar products from customers with multi-national operations. The accounting policies of the Company's operating segment are the same as those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Our CODM does not receive profitability information at a lower level than consolidated results and evaluates net income on a consolidated basis to set financial performance targets. Our CODM assesses performance, and makes resource allocation decisions, primarily through comparison of actual results to forecasted results, year-over-year analysis, and review of historical performance trends. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets.

Executive Summary

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, total revenue was $8,056,414 compared to $5,289,116 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was $25,701,895 versus $12,398,652 for the same period last year. The increase in total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 versus the same periods last year was primarily due to higher raw material input costs, product mix, and higher volume.

Gross profit was $1,689,682 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $1,331,145 for the same three months in 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) was 21.0% and 25.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Higher revenue contributed to the increase in gross profit while higher raw material costs and product mix were the primary reasons for the decreased gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same three months in 2025. Gross profit was $6,001,257 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $3,562,116 for the same nine months in 2025, and gross margin was 23.3% and 28.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Higher revenue contributed to the increase in gross profit while the higher raw material costs and product mix were the primary reasons for the lower gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

Operating expenses were $688,839 and $790,976 for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. The increased compensation and benefits for marketing and sales, higher materials and supplies for research and development, and higher general and administrative professional fees in the third quarter of 2026, more than offset by the $262,745 insurance recovery recorded as a reduction in fraud expense. Operating expenses were $3,112,024 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, including fraud expense of $299,281, compared to $2,363,601 for the same period last year. Higher marketing and sales compensation and benefits expense, increased research and development materials and supplies, higher general and administrative professional fees, and net fraud loss were the primary factors in the year-over-year increase.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Income from operations was $1,000,843 and $540,169 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively and $2,889,233 and $1,198,515 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

The Company invests in research and development to develop innovative applications focused on a defined path to commercialization. For example, electrically conductive Indium Tin Oxide with a density of 99% and rotatable targets up to three meters in length which offer multiple benefits were introduced during the second quarter of 2025. Plasma spheroidization equipment was received and installed during the third quarter of 2026 to extend the Company’s manufacturing capabilities and highlight its strategic focus on advanced materials through additive manufacturing.

During the second half of 2025, the Company identified an additional niche market that can benefit from its custom powder solutions, including spherical powders used in additive manufacturing. The Company identified additional opportunities through development of debinding processes for domestic commercial additive manufacturing applications.

Several issues are currently impacting national and global market conditions. First, continued political uncertainties in the Middle East region are particularly affecting multi-national customers. Second, inflation continues to impact labor, raw material costs and transportation expenses. We seek to pass these increases on to customers but are unable to predict how future or sustained inflationary pressure may impact our results. Third, supply chain disruptions are adversely impacting customers’ businesses in certain markets. Thus far, we have not experienced material adverse effects regarding sourcing of raw materials or product shipments; however, timely deliveries and sourcing of certain materials is of increased concern and may be influenced by changes in international tariffs and their availability. We are actively maintaining contact with our suppliers and customers, identifying additional suppliers, and adapting to our customers’ specific circumstances and forecasts.

Interest

Interest income was $114,606, and $119,959 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively and $334,051 and $333,769 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2026, was due to lower interest rates.

Income taxes

Income tax expense was $253,137, and $149,849 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively and $728,434 and $347,829 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements including special purpose entities.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal 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 implemented, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of

Table of Contents

Item 4. Controls and Procedures (continued)

controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure 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 Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

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 our financial statements.

Management is responsible for the consistency, integrity, and presentation of information. We fulfill our responsibility by maintaining systems of internal control designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, and transactions are executed in accordance with established procedures. The concept of reasonable assurance is based upon recognition that the cost of the controls should not exceed the benefit derived. We believe our systems of internal control provide this reasonable assurance. The Board of Directors exercises its oversight role with respect to our systems of internal control primarily through its Audit Committee, which is comprised of independent directors as defined by the OTC Markets. The Committee oversees our financial reporting, quarterly reviews, and audits to assess whether their quality, integrity, and objectivity are sufficient to protect shareholders’ investments.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting for the three months ended September 30, 2026, that materially affected or were reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. Additionally, there were no changes in our internal controls that could materially affect our disclosure controls and procedures after the date of their evaluation.
