Microwave Filter Co., Inc.Microwave Filter Company, Inc. 2020 Financial Statements To the Shareholders: FY2020 was a challenging year given the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. MFC received confirmation as an essential business from the state of New York pursuant to the revised New York State Executive Order 202.6. MFC remained open following safety guidelines and taking other appropriate actions as needed. In FY2020 MFC saw a decrease in sales of $813,000 compared to 2019 resulting in a loss of $293,000. It is unclear how much of the decline in sales is due to the COVID-19 pandemic but MFC believes there was a material impact. MFC did obtain a PPP loan for $298,282, which if forgiven in full or in part, will mitigate or eliminate the fiscal year loss. Primarily because of the PPP loan, the cash position of MFC was up $46,000 compared to FY2019. The Broadcast TV market saw the largest decline of $457,900 or 56%. This decrease was primarily due to orders from one customer that did not recur in fiscal 2020. MFC believes that the reduction in spending of this key customer was a result of a reduction of government spending as funds were diverted to combat COVID-19 pandemic. The Cable TV market saw a decline of $181,000 or 40%. This decrease was primarily due to orders from one customer that did not recur in fiscal 2020. MFC believes that the reduction in spending of these key customers was a result of a reduction of government spending as funds were diverted to combat COVID-19 pandemic. The RF/Microwave market saw a decline of $163,000 or 10%. The Satellite market was steady with a decline of $11,000 or 1% While the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to affect the economy in the future, MFC continues to be optimistic. The company continues to invest in production engineering, product development and developing OEM partners in key market segments, including 5G, 5G related and other satcom and other RF specialized solutions. We continue to believe that the 5G and satcom segments will lead to our greatest growth opportunities, followed by key broadcast and RF segments. MFC is in a strong financial position. At this time MFC believes it is reasonable to expect that the PPP loan will be forgiven in full or in part. This cash position is sufficient to provide the resources needed to execute our strategies. The management of MFC is particularly appreciative of our partners and employees during this difficult time. Sincerely, Carl F. Fahrenkrug, Jr Robert R. Andrews Chief Executive Officer Chairman of the Board 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Microwave Filter Company, Inc. (MFC) operates primarily in the United States and principally in one industry. The Company extends credit to business customers, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other end users, based upon ongoing credit evaluations. Microwave Filter Company, Inc. 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 and commercial and defense electronics. NSI's sales consist of spare parts orders. THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 In March 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID 19”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. Government. The financial impact of the COVID 19 pandemic cannot be reasonably estimated at this time as its impact depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. In late March, Microwave Filter Company, Inc. received confirmation from the State of New York that we are designated as an “essential business” pursuant to the revised New York State Executive Order 202.6 with respect to our business function of supply partner for several essential industries. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth the Company's net sales by major product group for each of the fiscal years in the two year period ended September 30, 2020. Product group Fiscal 2019 Fiscal 2020 Microwave Filter: RF/Microwave Satellite Broadcast TV Cable TV Niagara Scientific Total Sales backlog at 9/30 $ 1,471,799 $ 1,634,760 1,000,738 1,011,347 362,602 272,338 133 3,107,610 631,764 $ $ 820,514 453,633 84 3,920,338 827,981 $ $ Fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 Consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 equaled $3,107,610, a decrease of $812,728 or 20.7%, when compared to consolidated net sales of $3,920,338 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. MFC's RF/Microwave product sales decreased $162,961 or 10% to $1,471,799 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 when compared to sales of $1,634,760 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. MFC's RF/Microwave products are sold primarily to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) that serve the mobile radio, commercial communications and defense electronics markets. Sales to one OEM customer decreased $238,434 to $1,182,621, or 38.1% of total sales, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 compared to sales of $1,421,055, or 36.2% of total sales, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. These sales are in connection with a multiyear program in which the Company is a subcontractor. 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. Over the last year, MFC, in conjunction with various OEM’s, has developed and supplied prototypes as well as small production runs in support of new programs being introduced to the marketplace. It is our belief that a continuation of this effort will help increase sales as well as reinforcing MFC’s position as a quality manufacturer of RF filters and assemblies. 3 MFC's Satellite product sales decreased $10,609 or 1% to $1,000,738 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 when compared to sales of $1,011,347 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. The decrease can be attributed to a decrease in demand for 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 product sales decreased $457,912 or 55.8% to $362,602 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 when compared to sales of $820,514 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. The decrease can primarily be attributed to one customer. MFC's Cable TV product sales decreased $181,295 or 40% to $272,338 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 when compared to Cable TV product sales of $453,633 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. The decrease can primarily be attributed to one customer. Management continues to project flat or 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. At September 30, 2020, the Company's total backlog of orders, which represents firm orders from customers, equaled $631,764 compared to $827,981 at September 30, 2019. The total Company backlog at September 30, 2020 is scheduled to ship during fiscal 2021. 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. Gross profit decreased $562,878 to $1,077,536 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 when compared to gross profit of $1,640,414 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in gross profit can be attributed the lower sales volume providing a lower base to absorb overhead expenses. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased $87,128 or 6% to $1,372,019 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 when compared to SG&A expenses of $1,459,147 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 . The decrease can be attributed to lower payroll costs. Other income (expense) was income of $1,896 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 compared to expense of $353 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to interest expense of $8,719 offset by interest income of $6,092 and miscellaneous non-operating income of $4,523 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 and interest expense of $11,084 offset by interest income of $8,039 and miscellaneous non-operating income of $2,692 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. Other income generally consists of sales of scrap material, the forfeiture of non-refundable deposits and other incidental items. The Company recorded income taxes of $50 and $50 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 and September 30. 2019. Any other provision for income tax expense was fully offset by a reversal of a portion of the Company's valuation allowance. 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 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.

Microwave Filter Company and Subsidiaries 11 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ----------------------------------------------------------- 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a. Nature of Business Microwave Filter Company, Inc. (MFC) 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. 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. b. Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Microwave Filter Company, Inc. (MFC) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Niagara Scientific, Inc. (NSI) and Microwave Filter International, LTD. (MFI) (dormant); located in Syracuse, New York. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. c. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time, once control over the finished products has transferred to the customer. Accordingly, revenue is recognized when the customer takes title and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership, generally at the time of shipment. When revenue is recognized in accordance with the above terms, the trade receivable is recorded. Disaggregation of Revenue The following tables provide details of revenue by major products group: Product group Microwave Filter: RF/Microwave Satellite Broadcast TV Cable TV Niagara Scientific Total Sales backlog at 9/30 Fiscal 2020 Fiscal 2019 $ 1,471,799 $ 1,634,760 1,000,738 1,011,347 362,602 272,338 133 3,107,610 631,764 $ $ 820,514 453,633 84 3,920,338 827,981 $ $ d. Adoption of ASU 2016-02 “Leases” On October 1, 2018, the Company early adopted ASU 2016-02 “Leases” and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “Topic 842”), which create recognition of assets and liabilities that arise from leases. The Company’s existing lease for office equipment is classified as an operating lease and is within the scope of Topic 842. Refer to Note 6, Operating Lease Commitments, for further discussion on the Company’s accounting policies for leases. As a result of the adoption, the lease term is in excess of 12 months was recognized on the balance sheet with a right-of-use asset and liability. Additionally, certain accounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year consolidated financial statements. The impact on the consolidated financial statements and opening fiscal 2019 stockholders’ equity was not material. e. Product Warranty 12 The Company has established a warranty reserve which provides for the estimated cost of product returns based upon historical experience and any known conditions or circumstances. No revenues are recognized in connection with the performance of the warranty repair or fulfillment function. The warranty obligation is affected by product that does not meet specifications and performance requirements and any related costs of addressing such matters. Products must be returned within one year of the date of purchase. The warranty liability was insignificant at September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. f. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and money market funds. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash is held at federally insured institutions and balances may periodically exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to cash. The Company also routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. g. Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. h. Inventories and Reserve for Obsolescence Inventories are stated at the lower of cost determined on the first-in, first-out method or net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the normal course of business minus the cost of completion, disposal and transportation. The Company records a reserve for obsolete or excess inventory. The Company considers inventory quantities greater than a three year supply based on current year activity as well as any additional specifically identified inventory to be excess. The Company also provides for the total value of inventories that are determined to be obsolete based on criteria such as customer demand and changing technologies. i. Research and Development Costs in connection with research and development, which amount to $371,612 and $372,702 for the fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively, are charged to operations as incurred. j. Advertising The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $23,700 and $24,400 for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and is included in the selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. k. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Buildings and building improvements are depreciated over an estimated service life of 10 to 30 years. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 3 to 10 years. Office equipment and fixtures are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 3 to 10 years. At the time of sale or retirement, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in income. l. Income Taxes 13 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 income 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 follows FASB ASC 740-10, which 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 positions 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 will include interest on income tax liabilities in interest expense and penalties in operations if such amounts arise. The Company determined it has no uncertain tax positions and therefore no amounts are recorded. m. Earnings Per Share The Company presents basic earnings per share (“EPS”), computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, and when applicable diluted EPS, which gives the effect to all dilutive potential shares outstanding (i.e. options) during the period after restatement for any stock dividends. There were no dividends declared during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Profit (loss) used in the EPS calculation is net profit (loss) for each year. There were no dilutive potential shares outstanding for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. n. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of the Company cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s note payable approximates its fair value. The Company currently does not trade in or utilize derivative financial instruments. o. Miscellaneous Non-operating Income Miscellaneous non-operating income generally consists of sales of scrap material and the forfeiture of non-refundable deposits and other incidental items. p. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. q. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The carrying values of long-lived assets other than goodwill are generally evaluated for impairment only if events or changes in facts and circumstances indicate that carrying values may not be recoverable. Any impairment determined would be recorded in the current period and would be measured by comparing the fair value of the related asset to its carrying value. Fair value is generally determined by identifying estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets. No impairments have been recorded for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. r. Risks and Uncertainties 14 During fiscal 2020, local, U.S., and world governments have encouraged self-isolation to curtail the spread of the global pandemic, Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), by mandating work stoppage in many sectors and imposing limitations on travel and size and duration of group meetings. Most industries are experiencing disruption to business operations and the impact of reduced consumer spending. There is unprecedented uncertainty surrounding the duration of the pandemic, its potential economic ramifications, and any government actions to mitigate them. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s services have been essential in nature. As the situation evolves, the Company continues to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of the business, including how it impacts customers, subcontractors, suppliers, vendors and employees, in addition to how the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s ability to provide services to their customers. We believe the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on operating results, cash flows and financial condition is likely to be determined by factors which are uncertain, unpredictable and outside of the Company’s control. The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid, and if disruptions do arise, they could further materially adversely impact business. s. Subsequent Events Management has evaluated subsequent events though December 4, 2020, the date which the consolidated financial statements were available for issue. 2.
