                         ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

                                  June 21, 2001
                          -----------------------------


         This Proxy Statement is furnished to the shareholders of
Superconductive Components, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), in
connection with the solicitation of proxies to be used in voting at the Annual
Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 21, 2001, and at any adjournment or
postponement thereof (the "Annual Meeting"). The enclosed proxy is being
solicited by the Company's Board of Directors. This Proxy Statement and the
enclosed proxy will be first sent or given to the Company's shareholders on
approximately April 30, 2001.

         The Company will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies,
including the charges and expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding
solicitation material to beneficial owners of stock. Representatives of the
Company may solicit proxies by mail, telegram, telephone, fax, or personal
interview.

         The shares represented by the accompanying proxy will be voted as
directed if the proxy is properly signed and received by the Company prior to
the meeting. If no directions are made to the contrary, the proxy will be voted
FOR the nominees for director named herein. Any shareholder giving a proxy has
the power to revoke it at any time before it is exercised by filing a written
notice with the Secretary of the Company prior to the meeting. Shareholders who
attend the meeting may vote in person and their proxies will not be used.

         Holders of record of our common stock, at the close of business on
April 24, 2001, will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. At that time, we
had 1,802,793 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each
share of our common stock outstanding on the record date entitles the holder to
one vote on each matter submitted at the Annual Meeting.

         The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding
shares of our common stock is necessary to constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes
are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum.
Broker non-votes occur when brokers, who hold their customers' shares in street
name, sign and submit proxies for such shares and vote such shares on some
matters, but not others. Typically, this would occur when brokers have not
received any instructions from their customers, in which case the brokers, as
the holders of record, are permitted to vote on "routine" matters, which include
the election of directors.

         The election of the director nominees requires the favorable vote of a
plurality of all votes cast by the holders of our common stock at a meeting at
which a quorum is present. Proxies that are marked "Withhold Authority For Each
Nominee" and broker non-votes will not be counted toward such nominee's
achievement of a plurality and thus will have no effect. Each other matter to be
submitted to the shareholders for approval or ratification at the Annual Meeting
requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our common stock
present and entitled to vote on the matter. For purposes of determining the
number of shares of our common stock
                                      - 3 -

voting on the matter, abstentions will be counted and will have the effect of a
negative vote; broker non-votes will not be counted and thus will have no
effect.

                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

         The Company's Restated Code of Regulations provides that the number of
directors shall be fixed by the Board. The total number of authorized directors
currently is fixed at eight. The nominees for directors, if elected, will serve
for one-year terms expiring at the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

         Robert J. Baker, Edward R. Funk, James R. Gaines, Jr., Lloyd E.
Hackman, Curtis A. Loveland, Robert H. Peitz, Charles E. Washbush and Edward W.
Ungar currently serve as directors of the Company and are being nominated by the
Board of Directors for re-election as directors.

         It is intended that, unless otherwise directed, the shares represented
by the enclosed proxy will be voted FOR the election of Messrs. Baker, Funk,
Gaines, Hackman, Loveland, Peitz, Washbush and Ungar as directors. In the event
that any nominee for director should become unavailable, the number of directors
of the Company may be decreased pursuant to the Restated Code of Regulations or
the Board of Directors may designate a substitute nominee, in which event the
shares represented by the enclosed proxy will be voted for such substitute
nominee.

         The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the
election of the nominees for director.

         The following table sets forth for each nominee for director of the
Company, such person's name, age, and his position with the Company:

(1)   If shares were acquired on exercise, the value realized would be
      calculated based on the number of shares exercised multiplied by the
      excess of the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock
      on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the stock option.

(2)   Represents the total gain which would be realized if all in-the-money
      options held at year end were exercised, determined by multiplying the
      number of shares underlying the options by the difference between the per
      share option exercise price and the per share fair market value at year
      end ($1.20 at December 29, 2000, the day closest to December 31, 2000, on
      which trading of the Company's common stock occurred). An option is
      in-the-money if the fair market value of the underlying shares exceeds the
      exercise price of the option.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

         The Company has no standard arrangement for the compensation of members
of its Board of Directors. During fiscal year 2000, however, Messrs. Baker,
Hackman, Loveland, Peitz, Washbush and Ungar received the following stock
options for services performed as a director of the Company:

      o     a non-statutory option to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock of
            the Company at an exercise price of $2.125 per share, granted on
            January 1, 2000; and

      o     a non-statutory option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock of
            the Company at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, granted on
            October 23, 2000.

These options become fully vested and exercisable one year from the grant date,
and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date.

              CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

RIBBON TECHNOLOGY, INC.

         On July 20, 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with Ribbon
Technology Corporation, an Ohio corporation ("Ribtec") to sell to Ribtec 50,000
common shares for $300,000 ($6.00 per share) and a convertible subordinated
debenture for $200,000 (the "Debenture"). Lloyd E. Hackman, a Director of the
Company, is the President and majority shareholder of Ribtec. In June 1995, the
Company issued 119,003 unregistered common shares to Ribtec in exchange for the
cancellation of the Debenture. Ribtec obtained piggyback registration rights in
the event of the registration and sale of the Company's common shares under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a form permitting registration of primary
or secondary offerings, for the common shares received pursuant to the
Debenture.

DIAMOND FIBER COMPOSITES, INC.

         The Company has trade and other receivables from Diamond Fiber
Composites, Inc. ("DFC"), a company jointly owned by Dr. Funk and Peter
Williams, who is not affiliated with the Company. DFC rents space from the
Company and also uses utilities for which DFC is billed monthly. SCI has also
supplied tools to DFC in the past. The Company has trade and other receivables
due from DFC totaling $62,030 at December 31, 2000, which the Company has
written off. The receivables relate to the sale of inventory, rent for warehouse
space and reimbursement of expenses.

         Although the Company has not undertaken formal collection action
against DFC to recover the outstanding receivables, it is working closely with
DFC's management towards recouping these amounts. In January 1999, the Company's
Board of Directors considered but rejected a possible stock purchase of DFC, and
also considered but rejected bankruptcy action because such action was unlikely
to result in the recovery of the amounts owed. The Board instead opted for a
work out of the receivables. The Company anticipates that DFC will be able to
make payments on the outstanding receivables in 2001 due to an increase in DFC's
sales in the year 2000 and higher sales projections for the year 2001 (as
compared to 2000), which increases have resulted from additional DFC customers.
                                      -12-


ISSUANCE OF SUBORDINATED NOTES AND WARRANTS TO SHAREHOLDERS

         Through December 31, 1999, Dr. Funk had advanced the Company $256,125
and Mrs. Funk had advanced the Company $161,000. Effective December 31, 1999,
the Company documented these loans through the issuance of Subordinated
Promissory Notes to Dr. and Mrs. Funk in the amounts of $256,125 and $161,000
respectively. These notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10% and interest is
payable monthly. The notes mature on December 31, 2009, and are convertible into
common stock of the Company at $2.50 per share. In conjunction with a sale of
common stock and warrants to purchase common stock by the Company on October 10,
2000, Dr. and Mrs. Funk converted their Subordinated Promissory Notes to 202,613
shares of common stock of the Company at the $2.50 per share conversion rate.

         On January 7, 2000, the Company issued common stock purchase warrants
at $2.50 per share for 150,000 shares of common stock related to the
subordinated notes payable to Dr. and Mrs. Funk. The warrants are 100% vested
and expire ten years from the date of grant.

NOTES PAYABLE

         The Company had a note payable to a bank in the amount of $95,025 at
December 31, 1999, due June 30, 2000. On February 28, 2000, Dr. Funk paid the
bank note payable totaling $89,408 in full. The Company increased the amount of
Dr. Funk's subordinated note payable as reimbursement for payment on the bank
note payable.

         Effective December 31, 2000, the Company converted accounts payable and
accrued interest payable to Dr. and Mrs. Funk totaling $132,270 to a note
payable to shareholders. The note provides for monthly payments of principal and
interest of $2,000 per month for the period of February 1, 2001, through
December 1, 2002, and thereafter, in monthly installments of $4,000 for
principal and interest until the entire outstanding balance is paid in full. The
note bears interest at prime, which was 9.5% at December 31, 2000.

LEGAL SERVICES

         Curtis A. Loveland is an officer, director and shareholder of the
Company. Mr. Loveland is also a partner with Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur
LLP, the Company's legal counsel.

OTHER

         The Company also has a note receivable from an Mr. Gaines, who is the
Vice President and General Manager of the SCI Division of the Company, in the
amount of $4,283. The note bears interest at a rate of 4% per annum.


             SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders to file reports
of ownership and changes in ownership of the Company's securities with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Copies of the reports are required
by SEC regulation to be furnished to the Company. Based on its review of such
reports, the Company believes that all reporting persons complied with all
filing requirements during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, except for
late Forms 3 for Dr. and Mrs. Funk, and Messrs. Baker, Gaines, Hackman,
Loveland, Peitz, Raifsnider, Sengupta, Ungar and Washbush.

                         INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

          The Company expects that Hausser + Taylor LLP, independent public
accountants, will continue as auditors for the Company for the 2001 fiscal year.
Hausser + Taylor LLP served as the independent auditors for the Company for the
2000 fiscal year and throughout the periods covered by the Company's financial
statements. Representatives of Hausser + Taylor LLP are expected to attend the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders in order to respond to questions from
shareholders, and they will have the opportunity to make a statement.

          Hausser + Taylor LLP has a continuing relationship with American
Express Tax and Business Services, Inc. ("TBS") from which it leases auditing
staff who are full time, permanent employees of TBS and through which Hausser +
Taylor LLP's partners provide non-audit services. As a result of this
arrangement, Hausser + Taylor LLP has no full time employees, and, therefore,
none of the audit services performed were provided by permanent full-time
employees of Hausser + Taylor LLP. Hausser + Taylor LLP manages and supervises
the audit and audit staff and is exclusively responsible for the opinion
rendered in connection with its examination.

          Other services, which do not include Financial Information Systems
Design and Implementation fees, have been provided by TBS.


  FEES OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000

AUDIT FEES

         The aggregate fees billed by Hausser + Taylor LLP for professional
services for the audit of the Company's 2000 financial statements totaled
$38,300.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FEES

         The aggregate fees billed by Hausser + Taylor LLP for professional
services for information and technology services relating to financial
information systems design and implementation for the year ended December 31,
2000, were none.

ALL OTHER FEES

         The aggregate fees billed by Hausser + Taylor LLP for services rendered
to the Company, other than the services described under "Audit Fees" and
"Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees" for the year
ended December 31, 2000, were $74,740. The Audit Committee of the Company's
Board of Directors has considered whether the rendering of such non-audit
services by Hausser + Taylor LLP is compatible with maintaining the principal
accountant's independence.


                  SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2002 ANNUAL MEETING

         Each year the Board of Directors submits its nominations for election
of directors at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Other proposals may be
submitted by the Board of Directors or the shareholders for inclusion in the
Proxy Statement for action at the annual meeting. Any proposal submitted by a
shareholder for inclusion in the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders to be held in 2002 must be received by the Company (addressed to
the attention of the Secretary) on or before December 31, 2001. Any shareholder
proposal submitted outside the processes of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 for presentation at our 2002 annual meeting will be
considered untimely for purposes of Rule 14a-4 and 14a-5 if notice thereof is
received by the Company after March 16, 2002. To be submitted at the meeting,
any such proposal must be a proper subject for shareholder action under the laws
of the State of Ohio.

                              SOLICITATION EXPENSES

              The cost of this solicitation will be paid by the Company. In
addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, the directors, officers and
employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally or by telephone. The
Company may request persons holding shares in their names for others to forward
soliciting materials to their principals to obtain authorization for the
execution of proxies, and the Company may reimburse such persons for their
expenses in doing so.

                                  ANNUAL REPORT

         The Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2000, containing financial statements for such year and the signed
opinion of Hausser + Taylor LLP, independent auditors, with respect to such
financial statements, is being sent to shareholders concurrently with this Proxy
Statement. The Annual Report is not to be regarded as proxy soliciting material,
and management does not intend to ask, suggest or solicit any action from the
shareholders with respect to such report.

                                  OTHER MATTERS

         The Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be brought before
the Annual Meeting. However, if other matters should come before the meeting,
