Added SCON under .45 today Link back for extensive DD posting

3-12month play... hopefully multibagger


Will add on each lower level from here on.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.


As previously disclosed, on April 5, 2012, Superconductor Technologies Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market notifying the Company that the minimum bid price per share for its common stock fell below $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days and that therefore the Company did not meet the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company was initially provided 180 calendar days, or until October 2, 2012, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.


On October 3, 2012, Nasdaq granted the Company an extension of 180 days and the Company now has until April 1, 2013 to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In accordance with Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company can regain compliance if at any time during the 180-day period the closing bid price of the Company's common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.


We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

AMSC Doubles Superconductor Wire Performance and Reduces Pricing on old tech

AMSC announces 200A/cm wire.. SCON is validating 500A/cm wire by end of year


AMSC is now offering brass-laminated 4.4 mm Amperium wire with demonstrated current carrying performance up to 200 amps. This is considered industry-leading performance for high-volume second generation (2G) high temperature superconductor (HTS) wire and compares with AMSC's existing line of 70-100 amp wires. Similar to AMSC's existing Amperium product line, the new wire has leading electrical, mechanical and thermal properties.

Superconductor Technologies Inc. Completes Acceptance of Reactive Coevaporation Cyclic Deposition and Reaction (RCE-CDR) Equipment for Its Conductus(R) 2G HTS Wire Production

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 11, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Superconductor Technologies Inc. (SCON) ("STI"), a world leader in the development and production of high temperature superconducting (HTS) materials and associated technologies, completed the acceptance process for its next generation Reactive Coevaporation Cyclic Deposition and Reaction (RCE-CDR) system. STI's engineers completed testing at the supplier's location and the equipment has been received at the company's Advanced Manufacturing Center of Excellence in Austin for installation.

"This pilot production RCE-CDR system, capable of producing 100 meter lengths of HTS wire, will demonstrate to our customers the high yield, uniformity and repeatability of our proprietary process," said Adam Shelton, STI's VP of Marketing and Product Line Management. "At the same, we will also validate several critical machine design parameters that we plan to integrate into the kilometer length manufacturing system scheduled for 2013."

"This equipment delivery represents the second of the three system installations scheduled for 2012. Our Ion Beam Assisted Deposition (IBAD) machine was installed in April. Now operational, it provides wire template that will be used in the RCE-CDR machine. Our third piece of equipment, the Solution Deposition Planarization (SDP) machine, is currently completing system integration testing with delivery scheduled in the next several weeks. STI expects to have a complete 2G HTS production suite installed and operational in our new Austin facility by 2012 year end," Shelton added.

Nov 12th SCON Completes 2G HTS Wire Production Suite

(link back for extensive DD items)

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 12, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Superconductor Technologies Inc. (SCON) ("STI"), a world leader in the development and production of high temperature superconducting (HTS) materials and associated technologies, has completed acceptance testing of its Solution Deposition Planarization (SDP) system. The equipment has been shipped and received at STI's Advanced Manufacturing Center of Excellence in Austin.

"We now have our complete 2G HTS wire production suite on site at our new Austin facility," said Adam Shelton, STI's VP of Marketing and Product Line Management. "We expect to have the system completely installed and operational by 2012 year end. Achieving this program milestone positions us to meet the growing demand for our Conductus(R) wire in 2013 and begin preparations for commercial production in 2014."

The SDP and Ion Beam Assisted Deposition (IBAD) machine that was installed in April will work together to produce one kilometer lengths of complete wire template. This template will be used in the next generation Reactive Coevaporation Cyclic Deposition and Reaction (RCE-CDR) system that was installed in October. The RCE-CDR system deposits the HTS material onto the template using STI's proprietary process.

About Solution Deposition Planarization (SDP)

SDP is a foundational step in STI's Conductus wire manufacturing process used to increase power densities at the same time being optimized for low cost and high throughput. SDP serves two very important roles: planarization and a diffusion barrier.

For proper growth of superconducting materials, surface conditions must be very smooth. SDP creates a smooth starting surface, while eliminating the need to polish the template, reducing both cost and chemical waste. This process eliminates strong acids associated with electroplating alternatives. STI has produced SDP templates with one nanometer root mean square (RMS) surface roughness starting from unpolished metal tape. The SDP also acts as a diffusion barrier, blocking metal contaminates from the substrate passing into the superconducting layers


About Superconductor Technologies Inc. (STI)

Superconductor Technologies Inc., headquartered in Austin, TX, has been a world leader in HTS materials since 1987, developing more than 100 patents as well as proprietary trade secrets and manufacturing expertise. For more than a decade, STI has been providing innovative interference elimination and network enhancement solutions to the commercial wireless industry. The company is currently leveraging its key enabling technologies, including RF filtering, HTS materials and cryogenics to develop energy efficient, cost-effective and high performance second generation (2G) HTS wire for existing and emerging power applications. Superconductor Technologies Inc.'s common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol "SCON." For more information about STI, please visit http://www.suptech.com.

SCON Two highlights special notes !

Superconducting (2nd generation) wire

26 minutes into the conference call
-Significantly cheaper longterm than the other approaches

Reason that custumors requiring kilomter lenghts are interested is twofold

1) We show performance than others cant

2)Semi conductor production type of process
*historically higher yields than some other approaches
*pricing at the end will be a function of what your yield is more than anything else

cost of raw material relatively low

28 minutes also very interesting to listen to.. significant advantage in raw material cost

We believe to have cost that are industry leading and a fraction of cost of current producers.

Very important since cost of wire will determine potential uses.
