been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. The operating results for the ninethree month
period ended June 30,December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended September 30, 2010.2011. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended
September 30, 2009.2010.
Note 2. Industry Segment Data
The Company's primary business segment involves the operations of Microwave
Filter Company, Inc. (MFC) which 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.
Note 3. Inventories

Note 4. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10 (Prior
Authoritative Literature: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes).740-10. 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.
The Company adopted FASB ASC 740-10 (Prior Authoritative Literature: FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48) as of October 1, 2007. FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax
position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additionally, it
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. No adjustments were required
upon adoption.
Note 5. Legal Matters
The State of New York Workers' Compensation Board has commenced an action
against Microwave Filter Company, Inc. to recover for an underfunded self
insured program that Microwave Filter Company, Inc. participated in. Due to
the relatively short period of time Microwave Filter Company, Inc.
participated in the program and the limited amount of potential exposure, we
do not expect the resolution of this action will have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 6. Recent Pronouncements
The Company adopted in October 2010, the Accounting Standards Update 2009-
13, "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements" ("ASU 2009-13") and ASU 2009-14, "Software (Topic 985) - Certain
Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements" ("ASU 2009-14"). ASU
2009-13 modifies the requirements that must be met for an entity to recognize
revenue from the sale of a delivered item that is part of a multiple-element
arrangement when other items have not yet been delivered. ASU 2009-13
eliminates the requirement that all undelivered elements must have either: (i)
vendor-specific objective evidence, or "VSOE", or (ii) third-party evidence,
or "TPE", before an entity can recognize the portion of an overall arrangement
consideration that is attributable to items that already have been delivered.
In Januarythe absence of VSOE or TPE of the standalone selling price for one or more
delivered or undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement, entities
will be required to estimate the selling prices of those elements. Overall
arrangement consideration will be allocated to each element (both delivered
and undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices, regardless of
whether those selling prices are evidenced by VSOE or TPE or are based on the
entity's estimated selling price. The residual method of allocating
arrangement consideration has been eliminated. ASU 2009-14 modifies the
software revenue recognition guidance to exclude from its scope tangible
products that contain both software and non-software components that function
together to deliver a product's essential functionality. These new updates are
effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Entities must
adopt the amendments resulting from both of these ASUs in the same period
using the same transition method, where applicable. The adoption of these ASUs
did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, "Disclosures about the Credit
Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses" ("ASU
2010-20"). The standard amends ASC Topic 310, "Receivables" to enhance
disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the
allowance for credit losses by requiring an entity to provide a greater level
of disaggregated information and to disclose credit quality indicators, past
due information, and modifications of its financing receivables. ASU 2010-20
is effective for interim or annual fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2010 for public entities and for interim and annual fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2011 for nonpublic entities. The Company does not expect
the adoption of ASU 2010-20 to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In December 2010 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)("FASB") issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about
Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06), which amends ASC 820, Fair Value
Measurements (ASC 820)("ASU") 2010-28, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other
(Topic 350): When to add new requirementsPerform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for
disclosures about
significant transfers into and outReporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts". ASU 2010-28 modifies
Step 1 of Levels 1 andthe goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or
negative carrying amounts by requiring an entity to perform Step 2 and separate disclosures
about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3
measurements. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing fair value disclosures aboutof the
level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to
measure fair value. Further, ASU 2010-06 amends guidance on employers'
disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets under Subtopic 20 of ASC
715, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (ASC 715) to requiregoodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that disclosures
be provided by classes of assets instead of by major categories of assets.a goodwill
impairment exists. This ASU became effective for the Company on January 1, 2010, except for the
requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances and
settlements on a gross basis, whichupdate will be effective for the Company on
January 1, 2011.fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this pronouncement didguidance is not expected to have
an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of the Company cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short
maturity of those instruments.
The Company currently does not trade in or utilize derivative financial
instruments.
Note 8. Subsequent Events
In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company evaluated subsequent events
through February 11, 2011, the date these financial statements were available
to be issued.
MICROWAVE FILTER COMPANY, INC.9
Item 2. 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 United States 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-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 20092010 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.
10
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 FASB ASC 740-10 (Prior
Authoritative Literature: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes).740-10. 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.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2010 equaled $1,029,159,$1,294,567,
an increase of $7,944$159,509 or 0.8%,14.1% when compared to net sales of $1,021,215$1,135,058
for the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2009.
MFC's Satellite product sales for the three months ended December 31, 2010
equaled $447,352, an increase of $75,553 or 20.3%, when compared to sales of
$371,799 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. Although the current economic slowdown has impacted sales, 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 for the three months ended December 31,
2010 equaled $419,330, an increase of $141,334 or 50.8.%, when compared to
RF/Microwave product sales of $277,996 for the three months ended December 31,
2009. Management attributes the increase in sales to the Company's efforts to
encourage OEM relationships. The Company's RF/Microwave products are primarily
sold to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that serve the mobile radio
and commercial and defense electronics markets. Typical customers include the
U.S. Government, General Dynamics, Motorola, Rockwell Collins, Lockheed
Martin, Northrup Gruman and Raytheon. The Company continues to invest in
production engineering and infrastructure development to penetrate OEM 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.
12
MFC's Cable TV product sales increased $549 or 0.2% to $324,060 for the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2010
equaled $396,575, a decrease of $9,364 or 2.3%, when compared to Cable TV product sales of
$323,511$405,939 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. Due to the inherent nature of digital modulation versus
analog modulation, fewer filters will be required. The Company has developed
filters for digital television and there will still be requirements for analog
filters for limited applications in commercial and private cable systems. The
demand for these filters is unknown at this time but is expected to decline.
MFC's SatelliteBroadcast TV/Wireless Cable product sales decreased $32,543 or 8.1% to $367,396 for the three months ended
June 30,December 31, 2010 equaled $31,152, a decrease of $43,379 or 59.3%, when
compared to Satellite product sales of $399,939$76,531 during the same period last year.period. The decrease can be
attributed to aan decrease 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 attributes the decrease in sales to the global economic conditions.
Management does expect 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 $35,053 or 13.3% to $298,366 for
the three months ended June 30, 2010 when compared to RF/Microwave product
sales of $263,313 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 $8,082 or 26.4% to
$38,694 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 when compared to sales of
$30,612 during the same period last year. The increase can be attributed to an
increase in demand for UHF Broadcast products. These products which are
primarily sold to system integrators for rural communities.
MFC'sThe Company's sales order backlog equaled $654,643$672,366 at June 30,December 31, 2010
compared to sales order backlog of $679,401 at March 31, 2010 and $479,861$413,159 at September 30, 2009.2010. 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 90%97%
of the sales order backlog at June 30,December 31, 2010 is scheduled to ship by
September 30, 2010.
Gross profit2011.
The Company recorded net income of $47,593 for the three months ended
June 30,December 31, 2010 equaled $334,139, a
decrease of $52,016 or 13.5%, when compared to gross profitnet income of $386,155$14,084 for the three months ended
June 30, 2009. As a percentage of sales, gross profit
equaled 32.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 37.8% for
the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2009. The decreasesimprovement in gross profitnet income can primarily be attributed
to the higher direct material and labor costs due
primarily to product sales mix and higher manufacturing overhead costs due to
higher payroll and payroll related expensesvolume this year when compared to the same period last
year.
Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2010 equaled $467,259,
an increase of $46,660 or 11.1%, when compared to gross profit of $420,599 for
the three months ended December 31, 2009. The increase can primarily be
attributed the increase in sales. As a percentage of sales, gross profit
equaled 36.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to 37.1%
for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in gross profit as
a percentage of sales can primarily be attributed to higher direct material

NINE MONTHS ENDED June 30, 2010 vs. NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009
The following table sets forth the Company's net sales by major product

Net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 equaled $3,257,914, a
decrease of $236,405 or 6.8%, when compared to net sales of $3,494,319 for the
nine months ended June 30, 2009.
MFC's Cable TV product sales decreased $125,288 or 10.9% to $1,025,575 for
the nine months ended June 30, 2010 when compared to Cable TV product sales of
$1,150,863 during the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Management continues to
project a decrease in demand for Cable TV products due to the shift from
analog to digital television. Due to the inherent nature of digital modulation
versus analog modulation, fewer filters will be required. The Company has
developed filters for digital television and there will still be requirements
for analog filters for limited applications in commercial and private cable
systems. The demand for these filters is unknown at this time but is expected
to decline.
MFC's Satellite product sales decreased $192,139 or 15% to $1,089,123 for
the nine months ended June 30, 2009 when compared to satellite product sales
of $1,281,262 during the same period last year. The decrease can be attributed
to a decrease 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 attributes the decrease in sales to the global economic
conditions. Management does expect 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 $38,801 or 4.1% to $981,886 for
the nine months ended June 30, 2010 when compared to RF/Microwave product
sales of $943,085 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 $47,318 or 42.9%
to $157,609 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 when compared to sales of
$110,291 during the same period last year. The increase can be attributed to
an increase in demand for UHF Broadcast products. These products are primarily
sold to system integrators for rural communities.
NSI sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 equaled $3,721 when
compared to sales of $8,818 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. NSI sales

the nine months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of sales, gross profit
equaled 34.3% for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 35.2% for
the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The decreases in gross profit can
primarily be attributed to the lower sales volume this year when compared to

expenses.

decrease of $3,365 or 0.3%, when compared to SG&A expenses of $1,180,037 for
the nine months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of sales, SGA expenses
increased to 36.1% for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 33.8%
for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to the lower sales
volume this year when compared to the same period last year.
The Company recorded a loss from operations of $59,787 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2010 compared to income from operations of $50,819 for the nine
months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in operating income can primarily be
attributed to the lower sales volume this year when compared to the same
period last year.

cash balances.

received from a customer for an order scheduled to ship in January 2011.
The decrease in accrued compensated absences of $32,249 at December 31, 2010
when compared to September 30, 2010 can primarily be attributed to accrued

totaling $750,000 collateralized by all inventory, equipment and accounts

future will be met by its existing cash balances, future cash flows from
operations and its current credit arrangements.
