                        SUPERCONDUCTIVE COMPONENTS, INC.
                     REPORTS IMPROVED THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

COLUMBUS, Ohio (October 28, 2005) Superconductive Components, Inc. (OTCBB:
SCCI), a manufacturer of ceramics and metals for advanced applications in
batteries, photonic/optical, and high temperature superconductive products,
today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Total revenues increased 126.5% to $1,021,211 for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 from $450,838 for the same period in 2004. The loss
applicable to common shares was $44,320, or $0.02 per share, for the third
quarter of 2005 compared to a loss applicable to common shares of $262,505, or
$0.11 per share, for the same period last year.

Dan Rooney, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our
results for the third quarter 2005 included the highest quarter of revenue since
the first quarter 2001, improved margins and a substantial reduction in the net
loss compared to the prior year. The significant growth in revenues was
primarily attributable to increased sales to customers added earlier in 2005 and
as well as to existing customers. We benefited from our expanded sales efforts
to the photonic/optical market and also qualified for new business due to the
ISO 9001:2000 registration we received during the second quarter 2005.
Additionally, sales to thin-film battery customers increased substantially
during the third quarter and exceeded sales to those customers for the entire
first half of 2005. Total revenues for the first nine months of 2005 exceeded
revenues for the full-year 2004. During the third quarter 2005, the company
received $1,004,000 of new orders, which was the highest quarterly amount in the
past three years."

Mr. Rooney added, "Earlier this month we successfully completed a private equity
placement. As previously reported, this was the largest single financing in the
company's history and significantly improved our capital structure and balance
sheet. We plan to increase our presence in the photonic/optical market and
further strengthen our leading position in the manufacture of materials for the
emerging thin-film battery market."

Other Operating Results

Product revenues increased 160.5% to $953,494 for the third quarter 2005 from
$366,072 the prior year as a result of higher sales to existing customers and
new Tier 1 automotive customers. Contract research revenues declined to $67,717
for the third quarter 2005 from $84,766 the prior year due to lower revenues
related to a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research award from the
Department of Energy.

Gross profit increased to $217,158, or 21.3% of total revenues, for the third
quarter 2005 from a negative $27,966 for the third quarter 2004. This resulted
from increased production and improved operating efficiencies compared to the
same period last year. Gross margin on product revenues rose to 22.8% for the
third quarter 2005 from a negative gross margin for the third

Nine Month Results

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased 42.4% to
$2,309,805 compared to $1,621,777 for the same period last year. This was
primarily attributable to increased business from existing customers and the
addition of new customers. Product revenue increased 45.1% to $2,064,122 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $1,422,716 a year ago. Contract
research revenue was $245,683 for the 2005 year-to-date period compared to
$199,061 for the same period in 2004.

Gross profit was $477,370, or 20.7% of total revenues, for the first nine months
of 2005 versus $156,811, or 9.7% of total revenues, a year ago. This increase
was due to higher sales and revenue mix for the 2005 year-to-date period
compared to last year. Gross margin on product revenue improved to 23.1% in 2005
from 12.1% for the same period in 2004.

year-to-date period included $109,094 of one-time expenses related to the
company's move to a new facility and non-employee stock warrants.

Sales and promotional expenses for the first nine months of 2005 decreased to
$167,518 from $185,112 for the same period last year primarily due to a decline
in expenses related to trade shows.

The loss applicable to common shares was $319,595 for the first nine months of
2005 compared to a loss of $911,844 for the same period last year. On a per

first quarter 2006.
