NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2008 Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have 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 three month period ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended September 30, 2009. 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, 2008. 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 Inventories are stated at the lower of cost determined on the first-in, first-out method or market. Inventories net of reserve for obsolescence consisted of the following: (thousands of dollars) December 31, 2008 September 30, 2008 Raw materials and stock parts $503 $472 Work-in-process 25 19 Finished goods 86 110 ---- ---- $614 $601 ==== ==== The Company's reserve for obsolescence equaled $404,457 at December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008. Note 4. Income Taxes 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. The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48) as of October 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, 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, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. No adjustments were required upon adoption of FIN 48. Note 5. 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. Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006, the FASB published Statement of Financial Accounting No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The Statement applies only to fair-value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is expected to increase the consistency of those measurements. It will also affect current practices by nullifying the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) guidance that prohibited recognition of gains or losses at the inception of derivative transactions whose fair value is estimated by applying a model and by eliminating the use of "blockage" factors by brokers, dealers, and investment companies that have been applying AICPA Guides. The Statement is effective for fair-value measures already required or permitted by other standards for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (the Company's fiscal 2009) and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permissible only if no annual or interim financial statements have been issued for the earlier periods. The requirements of the Statement are applied prospectively, except for changes in fair value related to estimating he fair value of a large block position and instruments measured at fair value at initial recognition based on transaction price in accordance with EITF 02-3 or Statement 155. 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 December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 141(R), "Business Combinations". SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) 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 141(R) on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect. 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 Statement No. 133". SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's 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 Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60" ("SFAS 163"). SFAS 163 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing 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. 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-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 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 DECEMBER 31, 2008 vs. THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007. The following table sets forth the Company's net sales by major product group for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Product group (in thousands) Fiscal 2009 Fiscal 2008 Microwave Filter (MFC): Cable TV $ 421 $ 499 RF/Microwave 286 444 Satellite 489 372 Broadcast TV 50 26 Niagara Scientific (NSI) 4 2 ------ ------ Total $1,250 $1,343 ====== ====== Sales backlog at 12/31 $ 421 $ 526 ====== ====== Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008 equaled $1,249,703, a decrease of $93,608 or 7.0% when compared to net sales of $1,343,311 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. MFC's Cable TV product sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008 equaled $421,239, a decrease of $78,348 or 15.7%, when compared to sales of $499,587 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 RF/Microwave product sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008 equaled $286,093, a decrease of $158,402 or 35.6%, when compared to RF/Microwave product sales of $444,495 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Management attributes the decrease in sales to the economy. 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. MFC's Satellite product sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008 equaled $488,898, an increase of $117,292 or 31.6%, when compared to sales of $371,606 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 December 31, 2008 equaled $49,884, an increase of $24,035 or 93.0%, when compared to sales of $25,849 during the same period last year primarily due to an increase in demand for UHF Broadcast products. The Company's sales order backlog equaled $420,955 at December 31, 2008 compared to sales order backlog of $415,911 at September 30, 2008. 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 December 31, 2008 is scheduled to ship by September 30, 2009. The Company recorded a net loss of $7,593 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to net income of $37,750, or $.01 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease can primarily be attributed to the lower sales volume this year when compared to the same period last year. Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2008 equaled $429,008, a decrease of $85,431 or 16.6%, when compared to gross profit of $514,439 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. As a percentage of sales, gross profit equaled 34.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to 38.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The decreases in gross profit can primarily be attributed to the lower sales volume this year providing a lower base to absorb fixed expenses. Selling, general and administrative (SGA) expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2008 equaled $442,239, a decrease of $47,843 or 9.8%, when compared to SG&A expenses of $490,082 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. As a percentage of sales, SGA expenses decreased to 35.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to 36.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The lower SG&A expenses were due to lower printing costs, sales commissions and payroll expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2008 when compared to the same period last year. Other income is primarily interest income earned on invested cash balances. Other income equaled $5,638 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to $13,393 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease is primarily due to lower invested cash balances and lower market interest rates this year 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 both the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Any benefit for losses have 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 December 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. LIQUIDITY and CAPITAL RESOURCES December 31, 2008 September 30, 2008 Cash & cash equivalents $1,219,381 $1,417,271 Working capital $1,756,143 $1,961,413 Current ratio 4.61 to 1 5.24 to 1 Long-term debt $ 0 $ 0 Cash and cash equivalents decreased $197,890 to $1,219,381 at December 31, 2008 when compared to cash and cash equivalents of $1,417,271 at September 30, 2008. The decrease was a result of $19,576 in net cash provided by operating activities, $63,535 in net cash used for capital expenditures and $153,931 in net cash used to purchase treasury stock. During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Company purchased 297,219 shares of its common stock at a cost of $153,931 from two shareholders. At December 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 operations and its current credit arrangements.
