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.
Niagara Scientific, Inc. (NSI), a wholly owned subsidiary, custom designs case
packing machines to automatically pack products into shipping cases. Customers
are typically processors of food and other commodity products with a need to
reduce labor cost with a modest investment and quick payback.
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 MARCH 31, 2008 vs. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007
The following table sets forth the Company's net sales by major product
group for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
Product group (in thousands) Fiscal 2008 Fiscal 2007
Microwave Filter (MFC):
Cable TV $ 486 $ 537

Total $1,217 $1,276
====== ======
Sales backlog at 3/31 $ 443 $ 634
====== ======
|
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 equaled $1,216,664, a
decrease of $59,727 or 4.7%, when compared to net sales of $1,276,391 for the
three months ended March 31, 2007.
MFC's Cable TV product sales decreased $51,667 or 9.6% to $485,643 during
the three months ended March 31, 2008 when compared to Cable TV product sales
of $537,310 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. Although the Company has developed filters for digital
television, the demand for these types of filters is unknown at this time.
MFC's RF/Microwave product sales decreased $93,866 or 20.3% to $368,318 for
the three months ended March 31, 2008 when compared to RF/Microwave product
sales of $462,184 during the same period last year. The decrease can be
attributed to a decrease in sales to the U. S. Government. For the three
months ended March 31, 2008 sales to the U.S. Government equaled $4,488
compared to sales to the U.S. Government of $134,930 during the three months
ended March 31, 2007. 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 Satellite product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008
equaled $312,163, an increase of $77,965 or 33.3%, when compared to sales of
$234,198 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 Broadcast TV/Wireless Cable product sales for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 equaled $47,674, an increase of $12,113 or 34.1%, when compared
to sales of $35,561 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 $442,722 at March 31, 2008 compared to
sales order backlog of $502,760 at September 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. The total sales order backlog at March 31,
2008 is scheduled to ship by September 30, 2008.
NSI sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 equaled $2,866, a
decrease of $4,272, when compared to sales of $7,138 for the three months
ended March 31, 2007. NSI sales consist primarily of field service and spare
part orders.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 equaled $400,404, a
decrease of $83,793 or 17.3%, when compared to gross profit of $484,197 for
the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of sales, gross profit
equaled 32.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 37.9% for
the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decreases in gross profit can be
attributed to the lower sales volume, product sales mix and higher direct
material costs this year when compared to the same period last year.
Selling, general and administrative (SGA) expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 equaled $489,785, an increase of $14,962 or 3.2%, when
compared to SG&A expenses of $474,823 for the three months ended March 31,
2007. The increase can primarily be attributed to increases in printing
and postage costs which were associated with promotional mailings this year
when compared to the same period last year. As a percentage of sales, SGA
expenses increased to 40.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared
to 37.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to both the higher
expenses and lower sales volume this year when compared to the same period
last year.
The Company recorded a loss from operations of $89,381 for the second
quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to income from operations of $9,374 for
the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in operating income can be
attributed to the lower sales volume, lower gross profit and higher SGA
expenses this year when compared to the same period last year.
Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 equaled $10,259, a
decrease of $5,159 when compared to other income of $15,418 for the three
months ended March 31, 2007. Other income is primarily interest income earned
on invested cash balances. The decrease in other income can primarily be
attributed to the decrease in invested cash balances and 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 March 31, 2008. The benefit for the current year loss has been subject
to a valuation allowance since the realization of the deferred tax benefit is
not considered more likely than not.
SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 vs. SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007

Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2008 equaled $2,559,975, an
increase of $238,511 or 10.3%, when compared to net sales of $2,321,464 for the
six months ended March 31, 2007.
MFC's Cable TV product sales increased $30,953 or 3.2% to $985,230 during
the six months ended March 31, 2008 when compared to Cable TV product sales of
$954,277 during the six months ended March 31, 2007. Despite the increase in
Cable TV sales, management continues to project a decrease in demand for Cable
TV products due to the shift from analog to digital television. Although the
Company has developed filters for digital television, the demand for these
types of filters is unknown at this time.
MFC's RF/Microwave product sales increased $58,687 or 7.8% to $812,813 for
the six months ended March 31, 2008 when compared to RF/Microwave product
sales of $754,126 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 Satellite product sales for the six months ended March 31, 2008
equaled $683,769, an increase of $196,550 or 40.3%, when compared to sales of
$487,219 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 Broadcast TV/Wireless Cable product sales for the six months ended
March 31, 2008 equaled $73,523, a decrease of $27,487 or 27.2%, when compared
to sales of $101,010 during the same period last year. The decrease can be
attributed to a decrease in demand for UHF Broadcast products.
NSI sales for the six months ended March 31, 2008 equaled $4,640, a decrease
of $20,192, when compared to sales of $24,832 for the six months ended March
31, 2007. NSI sales consist primarily of field service and spare part orders.
Gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2008 equaled $914,843, an
increase of $94,546, or 10.3%, when compared to gross profit of $820,297 for
the six months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of sales, gross profit
equaled 35.7% for the six months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 35.3% for
the six months ended March 31, 2007. The increases in gross profit can
primarily be attributed to the higher sales volume this year when compared to
last year.
SG&A expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2008 equaled $979,867 an
increase of $19,424 or 2.0%, when compared to SG&A expenses of $960,443 for
the six months ended March 31, 2007. The increase can be attributed to
increases in printing and postage costs which were associated with promotional
mailings this year. As a percentage of sales, SGA expenses decreased to 38.3%
for the six months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 41.4% for the six months
ended March 31, 2007 due primarily to the higher sales volume this year.
The Company recorded a loss from operations of $65,024 for the six months
ended March 31, 2008 compared to a loss from operations of $140,146 for the
six months ended March 31, 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 six months ended March 31, 2008 equaled $23,652, a
crease of $10,722, when compared to other income of $34,374 for the six months
ended March 31, 2007. Other income is primarily interest income earned on
invested cash balances. The decrease in other income can primarily be
attributed to the decrease in invested cash balances and 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 six months ended
March 31, 2008. The benefit for the current year loss has been subject to a
valuation allowance since the realization of the deferred tax benefit is not
considered more likely than not.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At March 31, 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.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $43,616 to $1,310,595 at March 31, 2008
when compared to cash and cash equivalents of $1,266,979 at September 30,
2007. The increase was a result of $65,415 in net cash provided by operating
activities, $20,851 in net cash used in investing activities and $948 in net
cash used in financing activities.
The decrease of $90,974 in accounts receivable at March 31, 2008, when
compared to September 30, 2007, can primarily be attributable to an
improvement in accounts receivable collections during the quarter ended March
31, 2008 when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2008
consisted of funds used for capital expenditures of $20,851.
Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2008
consisted of funds used to purchase treasury stock of $948.
At March 31, 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

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

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,
