MICROWAVE FILTER COMPANY, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Microwave Filter Company, Inc. operates primarily in the United States and
principally in one industry. The Company extends credit to business customers
based upon ongoing credit evaluations. Microwave Filter Company, Inc. (MFC)
designs, develops, manufactures and sells electronic filters, both for radio
and microwave frequencies, to help process signal distribution and to prevent
unwanted signals from disrupting transmit or receive operations. Markets
served include cable television, television and radio broadcast, satellite
broadcast, mobile radio, commercial communications and defense electronics.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company's consolidated financial statements are based on the application
of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). GAAP requires the use of
estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting
principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense
amounts reported. The Company believes its use of estimates and underlying
accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently applied. Valuations
based on estimates are reviewed for reasonableness and adequacy on a
consistent basis throughout the Company. Primary areas where financial
information of the Company is subject to the use of estimates, assumptions and
the application of judgment include revenues, receivables, inventories, and
taxes. Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 describes the
significant accounting policies used in preparation of the consolidated
financial statements. The most significant areas involving management
judgments and estimates are described below and are considered by management
to be critical to understanding the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company.
Revenues from product sales are recorded as the products are shipped and
title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, provided that no
significant vendor or post-contract support obligations remain and the
collection of the related receivable is probable. Billings in advance of the
Company's performance of such work are reflected as customer deposits in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Allowances for doubtful accounts are based on estimates of losses related to
customer receivable balances. The establishment of reserves requires the use
of judgment and assumptions regarding the potential for losses on receivable
balances.
The Company's inventories are stated at the lower of cost determined on the
first-in, first-out method or market. The Company uses certain estimates and
judgments and considers several factors including product demand and changes
in technology to provide for excess and obsolescence reserves to properly
value inventory.
The Company established a warranty reserve which provides for the estimated
cost of product returns based upon historical experience and any known
conditions or circumstances. Our warranty obligation is affected by product
that does not meet specifications and performance requirements and any related
costs of addressing such matters.
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of
assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which are
anticipated to be in effect when these differences reverse. The deferred tax
provision is the result of the net change in the deferred tax assets and
liabilities. A valuation allowance is established when it is necessary to
reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized. The Company has
provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 vs. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007
The following table sets forth the Company's net sales by major product
group for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Product group (in thousands) Fiscal 2008 Fiscal 2007
Microwave Filter (MFC):
Cable TV $ 524 $ 484

Niagara Scientific (NSI) 1 8
------ ------
Total $1,362 $1,123
====== ======
Sales backlog at 6/30 $ 384 $ 495
====== ======
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 equaled $1,362,359, an
increase of $239,399 or 21.3%, when compared to net sales of $1,122,960 for
the three months ended June 30, 2007.
MFC's Cable TV product sales increased $41,179 or 8.5% to $524,655 during
the three months ended June 30, 2008 when compared to Cable TV product sales
of $483,476 during the same period last year. Management continues to project
a decrease in demand for Cable TV products due to the shift from analog to
digital television scheduled for completion by February 17, 2009. Although the
Company has developed filters for digital television, the demand for these
types of filters is unknown at this time.
MFC's Satellite product sales increased $231,571 or 101% to $460,739 during
the three months ended June 30, 2008 when compared to sales of $229,168 during
the same period last year. The increase can be attributed to an increase in
demand for the Company's filters which suppress strong out-of-band
interference caused by military and civilian radar systems and other sources.
Management expects demand for these types of filters to continue with the
proliferation of earth stations world wide and increased sources of
interference.
MFC's RF/Microwave product sales decreased $26,291 or 6.9% to $353,444 for
the three months ended June 30, 2008 when compared to RF/Microwave product
sales of $379,735 during the same period last year. MFC's RF/Microwave
products are sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that
serve the mobile radio, commercial communications and defense electronics
markets. The Company continues to invest in production engineering and
infrastructure development to penetrate OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
market segments as they become popular. MFC is concentrating its technical
resources and product development efforts toward potential high volume
customers as part of a concentrated effort to provide substantial long-term
growth.
MFC's Broadcast TV/Wireless Cable product sales increased $638 or 2.9% to
$22,867 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 when compared to sales of
$22,229 during the same period last year. The increase can be attributed to an
increase in demand for UHF Broadcast products.
MFC's sales order backlog equaled $384,252 at June 30, 2008 compared to
sales order backlog of $502,760 at September 30, 2007 and $495,409 at June 30,
2007. However, backlog is not necessarily indicative of future sales.
Accordingly, the Company does not believe that its backlog as of any
particular date is representative of actual sales for any succeeding period.
Approximately 85% of the sales order backlog at June 30, 2008 is scheduled to
ship by September 30, 2008.
NSI sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 equaled $654 compared to
sales of $8,352 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. NSI sales consist
primarily of field service and spare parts.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2008 equaled $542,854, an
increase of $186,480 or 52.3%, when compared to gross profit of $356,374 for
the three months ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of sales, gross profit
equaled 39.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 31.7% for
the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increases in gross profit can
primarily be attributed to the higher sales volume this year allowing the
Company to better absorb fixed costs.
Selling, general and administrative (SGA) expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 equaled $499,549, a decrease of $20,635 or 4.0%, when
compared to SG&A expenses of $520,184 for the three months ended June 30,
2007. The decrease can primarily be attributed to lower payroll costs this
year when compared to the same period last year. As a percentage of sales, SGA
expenses decreased to 36.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared
to 46.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to the higher
sales volume this year when compared to the same period last year.
The Company recorded income from operations of $43,305 for the third quarter
ended June 30, 2008 compared to a loss from operations of $163,810 for the
three months ended June 30, 2007. The improvement in operating income can
primarily be attributed to the higher sales volume this year when compared to
the same period last year.
Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 equaled $10,951, a
decrease of $3,784 when compared to other income of $14,735 for the three
months ended June 30, 2007. Other income is primarily interest income earned
on invested cash balances. The decrease in other income can primarily be
attributed to lower market interest rates when compared to last year. Other
income may fluctuate based on market interest rates and levels of invested
cash balances.
The provision (benefit) for income taxes equaled $0 for the three months
ended June 30, 2008. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance
against its deferred tax assets since the realization of the deferred tax
benefit is not considered more likely than not.
NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 vs. NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

Net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 equaled $3,922,334, an
increase of $477,910 or 13.9%, when compared to net sales of $3,444,424 for
the nine months ended June 30, 2007.
MFC's Cable TV product sales increased $72,132 or 5.0% to $1,509,885 during
the nine months ended June 30, 2008 when compared to Cable TV product sales of
$1,437,753 during the nine months ended June 30, 2007. Despite the increase in
Cable TV product sales, management continues to project a decrease in demand
for Cable TV products due to the shift from analog to digital television
scheduled for completion by February 17, 2009. Although the Company has
developed filters for digital television, the demand for these types of
filters is unknown at this time.
MFC's Satellite product sales increased $428,121 OR 59.8% TO $1,144,508
during the nine months ended June 30, 2008 when compared to sales of $716,387
during the same period last year. The increase can be attributed to an
increase in demand for the Company's filters which suppress strong out-of-band
interference caused by military and civilian radar systems and other sources.
Management expects demand for these types of filters to continue with the
proliferation of earth stations world wide and increased sources of
interference.
MFC's RF/Microwave product sales increased $32,396 or 2.9% to $1,166,257
during the nine months ended June 30, 2008 when compared to RF/Microwave
product sales of $1,133,861 during the same period last year. MFC's
RF/Microwave products are sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) that serve the mobile radio, commercial communications and defense
electronics markets. The Company continues to invest in production engineering
and infrastructure development to penetrate OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer) market segments as they become popular. MFC is concentrating its
technical resources and product development efforts toward potential high

MFC's Broadcast TV/Wireless Cable product sales decreased $26,849 or 21.8%
to $96,390 during the nine months ended June 30, 2008 when compared to sales
of $123,239 during the same period last year. The decrease can be attributed
to a decrease in demand for UHF Broadcast products.
NSI sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 equaled $5,294 compared to
sales of $33,184 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. NSI sales consist
primarily of field service and spare parts.
Gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 equaled $1,457,697, an
increase of $281,026, or 23.9%, when compared to gross profit of $1,176,671
for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of sales, gross
profit equaled 37.2% for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 34.2%
for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The increases in gross profit can
primarily be attributed to the higher sales volume this year allowing the
Company to better absorb fixed costs.
SG&A expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 equaled $1,479,416, a
decrease of $1,211 or 0.1%, when compared to SG&A expenses of $1,480,627 for
the nine months ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of sales, SGA expenses
decreased to 37.7% for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 43.0%
for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 due primarily to the higher sales
volume this year.
The Company recorded a loss from operations of $21,719 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2008 compared to a loss from operations of $303,956 for the
nine months ended June 30, 2007. The improvement can primarily be attributed
to the higher sales volume this year when compared to the same period last
year.
Other income for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 equaled $34,603, a
decrease of $14,506, when compared to other income of $49,109 for the nine
months ended June 30, 2007. Other income is primarily interest income earned
on invested cash balances. The decrease in other income can primarily be
attributed to lower market interest rates this year when compared to the same
period last year. Other income may fluctuate based on market interest rates
and levels of invested cash balances.
The provision (benefit) for income taxes equaled $0 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2008. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance
against its deferred tax assets since the realization of the deferred tax
benefit is not considered more likely than not.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company did not have any unconsolidated
entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as
structured finance or special purpose entities, which might have been
established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
LIQUIDITY and CAPITAL RESOURCES
June 30, 2008 Sep. 30, 2007
Cash & cash equivalents $1,357,097 $1,266,979
Working capital $1,923,211 $1,876,807
Current ratio 4.82 to 1 4.69 to 1
Long-term debt $ 0 $ 0
Cash and cash equivalents increased $90,118 to $1,357,097 at June 30, 2008
when compared to cash and cash equivalents of $1,266,979 at September 30,
2007. The increase was a result of $114,532 in net cash provided by operating
activities, $22,461 in net cash used in investing activities and $1,953 in net
cash used in financing activities.
The decrease of $64,370 in accounts receivable at June 30, 2008, when
compared to September 30, 2007, can primarily be attributable to an
improvement in accounts receivable collections during the quarter ended June
30, 2008 when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2008
consisted of funds used for capital expenditures of $22,461.
Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2008
consisted of funds used to purchase treasury stock of $1,953.
At June 30, 2008, the Company had unused aggregate lines of credit totaling
$750,000 collateralized by all inventory, equipment and accounts receivable.
Management believes that its working capital requirements for the forseeable
future will be met by its existing cash balances, future cash flows from
operations and its current credit arrangements.
RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
- ----------------------
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 159, "The Fair Value
Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment
of FASB Statement No. 115". SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure
many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified
election dates. This Statement applies to all entities, including not-for-
profit organizations. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an
entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. As such, the
Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
of SFAS 159 on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51". SFAS 160
establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest
in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As such, the Company is required to
adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended September 30,
2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 160 on its
consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 161, "Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB

derivative and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008 with early application encouraged. As such, the Company is
required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161
on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a
material effect.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles". SFAS 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in
the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
in the United States. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's
approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU
Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
of SFAS 162 on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to
have a material effect.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 163, "Accounting for

accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial
guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of that Statement.
SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal
years. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the
beginning of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 163 on its consolidated financial
statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.
