Item 5.  Other Events.

Net sales decreased $2,192,212 or 30.2% to $5,059,520 for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2003 when compared to net sales of $7,251,732 for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in sales can primarily be
attributed to the decrease in the sales of the Company's standard
Cable/Satellite TV product sales, which management attributes to the decrease
in demand for the Company's standard filters which suppress strong out-of-band
interference caused by military and civilian radar systems. Last year, the
Company saw an increase in demand for the Company's filters which suppress
strong out-of-band interference caused by military and civilian radar systems,
primarily due to the increased security measures that were taken as a result
of the September 11th terrorist attacks. That demand decreased during fiscal
2003 resulting in the lower sales and due to the current economic climate, MFC
has not seen a significant increase in sales in other product areas.

Net income decreased $716,687 to a net loss of $282,400, or $.10 per share,
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 when compared to net income of
$434,287, or $.15 per share, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. The
decrease in net income can primarily be attributed to the decrease in sales.

Microwave Filter Company, Inc. manufactures electronic filters for eliminating
interference and signal processing for such markets as Cable Television,
Broadcast, Mobile Communications, Avionics, Radar, Navigation and Defense
Electronics. Its subsidiary, Niagara Scientific, Inc., manufactures industrial
automation equipment.

The Company's stock is traded on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market under the
