Note 4. Income Taxes




  The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 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. FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’sentity'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. The Company determined it has no uncertain tax positions and therefore no amounts are recorded.

Note 5. Legal Matters

  The State of New York Workers’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. The Company has accrued $12,000 for this action in other current liabilities.



Note 6. 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 7. Significant Customers

  Sales to one customer represented approximately 17%10% of total sales for the ninethree months ended June  30,December 31, 2013 compared to approximately 20%22% of total sales for the ninethree months ended June  30,December 31, 2012.

  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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 20122013 describes the significant accounting policies used in preparation of the condensed 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 condensed 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 FASB ASC 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, 2013 equaled $705,148$655,447 a decrease of $442,188$115,797 or 38.5%15%, when compared to net sales of $1,147,336$771,244 for the three months ended June  30,December 31, 2012. Net sales have been decreasing since the quarter ended June  30, 2012. It is difficult to determine precisely the cause of this systemic erosion in sales but it is conjectured that the fear engendered by the sequester of budgetary funds for the Defense Department has had a major impact on MFC’sMFC's economic environment. It should be remembered that substantial Defense cuts occurred during FY 2012 which have affected the whole communications market place as suppliers to the Defense industry have made the commercial market place more competitive as they have sought to redirect their sales efforts away from Defense. Management also believes that the decrease in capital expenditures from non-defense oriented companies (such as Cable Television companies) has also contributed to the overall decline and demand across all market segments served by MFC. In order to mitigate the effects of this decline in demand for our products during this difficult period, management has adopted a plan of cost reduction, as well as, an accelerated development and acquisition of new products. This coupled with an increase in promotional activity for existing and new products will hopefully mitigate the systemic effects of the market place by allowing MFC to increase its market share by virtue of a plethora of products for a wider range of applications and for a larger customer segment. 
The Company did receive a $1,157,072 order from a large OEM during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 with shipments beginning in February 2014 and ending in December 2014. Management is hopeful that this order will be part of a sustained increase in sales orders.

 MFC’s

  MFC's RF/Microwave product sales decreased $168,483$82,778 or 40.9%25.5% to $243,621$241,349 for the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2013 when compared to RF/Microwave product sales of $412,104$324,127 during the same period last year.  MFC’sMFC's RF/Microwave products are sold primarily to Original Equipment Manufacturers 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 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. Sales to one OEM customer represented approximately 22%10% of total sales for both the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012.


<PAGE>                                11

MFC’s Satellite productapproximately 22% of total sales decreased $81,456 or 24.9% to $245,303 for the three months ended June  30,December 31, 2012.

  MFC's Satellite product sales increased $62,496 or 25.7% to $305,626 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 when compared to Satellite product sales of $326,759$243,130 during the same period last year. The decreaseincrease can be attributed to a decreasean 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 economic conditions do impact 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

  MFC's Cable TV product sales decreased $218,055$98,705 or 58.9%53.9% to $152,314$84,685 for the three months ended June  30,December 31, 2013 when compared to Cable TV product sales of $370,369$183,390 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. Management also believes that the decrease in capital expenditures from non-defense oriented companies (such as Cable Television companies) has also contributed to the decline in sales.

  MFC’s

  MFC's Broadcast TV/Wireless Cable product sales increased $25,134$2,955 to $62,528$21,582 for the three months ended June  30,December 31, 2013 when compared to sales of $37,394$18,627 during the same period last year. The increase can be attributed to an increase in demand for UHF Broadcast products which are primarily sold to system integrators for rural communities.

  MFC's sales order backlog equaled $262,690$1,331,100 at June  30,December 31, 2013 compared to sales order backlog of $394,680$352,852 at June  30,December 31, 2012. The increase can primarily be attributed to a large OEM order received during the quarter ended December 31, 2013. 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 73%78% of the total sales order backlog at June  30,December 31, 2013 is scheduled to ship by September 30, 2013.

  Gross profit for the three months ended June  30,December 31, 2013 equaled $265,708,$198,534, a decrease of $168,435$4,666 or 38.8%2.3%, when compared to gross profit of $434,143$203,200 for the three months ended June  30,December 31, 2012. The dollar decrease in gross profit can primarily be attributed to the lower sales volume this year when compared to the same period last year. As a percentage of sales, gross profit equaled 37.7%30.3% for the three months ended June  30,December 31, 2013 compared to 37.8%26.3% for the three months ended June  30,December 31, 2012.
The improvement in gross profit as a percentage of sales can primarily be attributed to lower material costs due to product sales mix.

  Selling, general and administrative (SGA) expenses for the three months ended June  30,December 31, 2013 equaled $317,827,$366,547, a decrease of $63,467$63,868 or 16.6%14.8%, when compared to SGA expenses of $381,294$430,415 for the three months ended June  30,December 31, 2012. The decrease can primarily be attributed to lower payroll and payroll related expenses. The Company has been participating in the New York State Shared Work program which allows employers to reduce the hours of all or a particular group of employees. The employees whose hours are reduced can receive partial unemployment insurance benefits or elect to use accrued vacation. As a percentage of sales, SGA expenses increased to 45.1%equaled 55.9% for the three months ended June  30,December 31, 2013 when compared to 33.2%55.8% for the three months ended June  30, 2012December 31, 2012. 

  The Company recorded a loss from operations of $168,013 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to a loss from operations of $227,215 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The improvement can primarily duebe attributed to the lower sales volumeSGA expenses this year when compared to the same period last year.

  The Company recorded a loss from operations

  Other income (expense) was an expense of $52,119$3,881 for the three months ended June  30,December 31, 2013 compared to income from operations of $52,849$2,190 for the for the three months ended June  30, 2012. The decrease in operating income canDecember 31, 2012 primarily be attributeddue to interest expense of $5,598 for the lower sales volume this year when compared tothree months ended December 31, 2013 and $0 for the same period last year.

  The (benefit) provision for income taxes equaled $0 for the three months ended June  30,December 31, 2013 and June  30,December 31, 2012. We have not recognized any (benefit) provision for income taxes.  Any benefit for losses has been subject to a valuation allowance since the realization of the deferred tax benefit is not considered more likely than not.  As required by FASB ASC 740 (Prior Authoritative Literature: SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes), the Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realization of its deferred tax assets. The Company has determined that, at this time, it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize all of the benefits of federal and state deferred tax assets, and, as a result, a valuation allowance was established.

 MFC’s RF/Microwave product sales decreased $548,121 or 41.9% to $759,027 for the nine months ended June  30, 2013 when compared to RF/Microwave product sales of $1,307,148 during the same period last year.  MFC’s RF/Microwave products are sold primarily to Original Equipment Manufacturers 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 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. Sales to one OEM customer represented approximately 17% of total sales for the nine months ended June  30, 2013 compared to approximately 20% of total sales for the nine months ended June  30, 2012. 
   MFC’s Satellite product sales decreased $261,034 or 25.4% to $768,055 for the nine months ended June  30, 2013 when compared to satellite product sales of $1,029,089 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. Although economic conditions do impact 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 Cable TV product sales decreased $618,542 or 58.8% to $432,896 for the nine months ended June  30, 2013 when compared to Cable TV product sales of $1,051,438 during the same period last year.

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. Management also believes that the decrease in capital expenditures from non-defense oriented companies (such as Cable Television companies) has also contributed to the decline in sales.
  MFC’s Broadcast TV/Wireless Cable product sales increased $20,900 or 21.3% to $119,244 for the nine months ended June  30, 2013 when compared to sales of $98,344 during the same period last year. The increase can be attributed to an increase in demand for UHF Broadcast products which are primarily sold to system integrators for rural communities.

  Gross profit for the nine months ended June  30, 2013 equaled $600,175, a decrease of $674,794 or 52.9%, when compared to gross profit of $1,274,969 for the nine months ended June  30, 2012. The decrease can primarily be attributed to the lower sales volume this year when compared to the same period last year. As a percentage of sales, gross profit equaled to 28.8% for the nine months ended June  30, 2013 compared to 36.5% for the nine months ended June  30, 2012. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales can primarily be attributed to the lower sales volume this year providing a lower base to absorb fixed expenses.

  SG&A expenses for the nine months ended June  30, 2013 equaled $1,190,719 a decrease of $83,282 or 6.5%, when compared to SG&A expenses of $1,274,001 for the nine months ended June  30, 2012. As a percentage of sales, SGA expenses increased to 57.1% for the nine months ended June  30, 2013 compared to 36.5% for the nine months ended June  30, 2012 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 $590,544 for the nine months ended June  30, 2013 compared to income from operations of $968 for the nine months ended June  30, 2012. The decrease in operating income can primarily be attributed to the lower sales volume this year when compared to the same period last year.
  Other income for the nine months ended June  30, 2013 equaled $4,979, a decrease of $21,694 when compared to other income of $26,673 for the nine months ended June  30, 2012. The decrease can be attributed to a $20,000 gain on the sale of a fixed asset last year.
  The (benefit) provision for income taxes equaled $0 for the nine months ended June  30, 2013 and June  30, 2012. We have not recognized any (benefit) provision for income taxes.  Any benefit for losses has been subject to a valuation allowance since the realization of the deferred tax benefit is not considered more likely than not.  As required by FASB ASC 740 (Prior Authoritative Literature: SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes), the Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realization of its deferred tax assets. The Company has determined that, at this time, it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize all of the benefits of federal and state deferred tax assets, and, as a result, a valuation allowance was established.

 



Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



  At June  30,December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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.
