Note 4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

  In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") approved
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 "Business Combinations"
("SFAS 141") and No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142")
which are effective July 1, 2001 and October 1, 2002, respectively, for the
Corporation.  SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used
for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.  This has no
material impact on the financial statements of the Company.  Under SFAS 142,
amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business
combinations, will discontinue upon adoption of this standard. The Company has
no goodwill or other intangibles as of June 30, 2002 or September 30, 2001.

  In October 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."  SFAS 144 provides guidance on the accounting
for long-lived assets to be held and used and for assets to be disposed of
through sale or other means. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 144
to have a material impact on its financial statements.

                    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 two industries. 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 and defense electronics. Niagara
Scientific, Inc. (NSI), a wholly owned subsidiary, custom designs case packing
machines to automatically pack products into shipping cases. Customers are
typically processors of food and other commodity products with a need to
reduce labor cost with a modest investment and quick payback.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 vs. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001.

  Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2002 equaled $1,517,312, a
decrease of $264,720 or 14.9% when compared to net sales of $1,782,032 for the
three months ended June 30, 2001.

  MFC sales for the three months ended June 30, 2002 equaled $1,389,010, an
increase of $143,815 or 11.5% when compared to sales of $1,245,195 for the
three months ended June 31, 2001. The increase in MFC sales can primarily be
attributed to an increase in the sales of the company's standard
cable/satellite TV products, which management attributes to the increase in
demand for the company's filters which suppress strong out-of-band
interference caused by military and civilian radar systems. This increase in
demand can primarily be attributed to the increased security measures being
taken as a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks. The Company is
uncertain how long this demand will continue and what levels it will reach.
There can be no assurance that the Company's sales levels or growth will
remain at, reach or exceed historical levels in any future period. MFC
continues to experience a decrease in demand in other product areas primarily
due to the economy.

  MFC's sales order backlog equaled $317,382 at June 30, 2002, a decrease of
$82,386 when compared to sales order backlog of $399,768 at March 31, 2002.
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 85% of
MFC's sales order backlog at June 30, 2002 is scheduled to ship by September
30, 2002.

  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.

  NSI sales for the three months ended June 30, 2002 equaled $128,302, a
decrease of $408,535 or 76% when compared to sales of $536,837 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001. NSI's sales order levels have been impacted
negatively by the sluggish economy and reduced capital spending. Sales of NSI
related equipment, on a quarter to quarter basis, can also be impacted by the
timing of the shipment of the custom designed equipment and the customer's
scheduled delivery dates. At June 30, 2002, NSI's sales order backlog equaled
$138,600 compared to $245,600 at March 31, 2002. NSI's total backlog of orders
is scheduled to ship during fiscal 2003.

  The Company recorded a net loss of $80,194, or a loss of $.03 per share, for
the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to a net loss of $24,696, or a
loss of $.01 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease
in net income can primarily be attributed to the decrease in sales.

  Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2002 equaled $413,019, a
decrease of $82,814 or 16.7%, when compared to gross profit of $495,833 for
the three months ended June 30, 2001. As a percentage of sales, gross profit
equaled 27.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 27.8% for
the three months ended June 30, 2001. The dollar decrease in gross profit can
primarily be attributed to decrease in sales.

  Selling, general and administrative (SGA) expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 equaled $544,440, a decrease of $7,956 or 1.4%, when
compared to SG&A expenses of $552,396 for the three months ended June 30,
2001. SGA expenses increased to 35.9% of sales for the three months ended June
30, 2002 when compared to 31.0% of sales for the three months ended June 30,
2001, primarily due to the decrease in sales this year when compared to the
same period last year. Due to the uncertain economic climate, the Company is
emphasizing cost controls and cost cutting measures to minimize operating
expenses.

  On an industry segment basis, MFC recorded a loss from operations of $32,397
for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to a loss from operations of
$41,668 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The improvement can
primarily be attributed to the increase in MFC's sales. NSI recorded a loss
from operations of $99,024 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared
to a loss from operations of $14,895 for the three months ended June 30, 2001.
The increase in NSI's operating loss can primarily be attributed to the
decrease in NSI sales this year when compared to the same period last year.


NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 vs. NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001.

  Net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 equaled $6,018,723, an
increase of $627,619 or 11.6% when compared to net sales of $5,391,104 for
the nine months ended June 30, 2001.

  MFC sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 equaled $5,480,330, an
increase of $1,035,032 or 23.3% when compared to sales of $4,445,298 for the
nine months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in MFC sales is primarily due to
the increase in the sales of the company's standard cable/satellite TV
products, which management attributes to the increase in demand for the
company's filters which suppress strong out-of-band interference caused by
military and civilian radar systems.

  NSI sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 equaled $538,393, a
decrease of $407,413 when compared to sales of $945,806 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2001. Sales of NSI related equipment, on a quarter to quarter
basis, can be impacted by the timing of the shipment of the custom designed
equipment and the customer's scheduled delivery dates. NSI sales have also
been impacted by the unfavorable economic climate and reduced capital
spending.

  Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 equaled $454,078, or $.16
per share, an increase of $392,108 or 633% when compared to net income of
$61,970, or $.02 per share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2001. The
increase in net income is primarily due to the higher sales volume and
improved profit margins when compared to the same period last year.

  Gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 equaled $2,376,716 or
39.5% of sales, an increase of $639,217 or 36.8%, when compared to gross
profit of $1,737,499 or 32.2% of sales for the nine months ended June 30,
2001. The improvements can primarily be attributed to the increase in sales,
product sales mix, operational efficiencies and economies of scale due to the
higher sales volume.

  SG&A expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 equaled $1,716,102, an
increase of $7,780 or 0.5% when compared to SG&A expenses of $1,708,322 for
the nine months ended June 30, 2001. Due to the uncertain economic climate,
the Company is emphasizing cost controls and cost cutting measures to minimize
operating expenses.

LIQUIDITY and CAPITAL RESOURCES

  Cash and cash equivalents increased $234,400 to $607,542 at June 30,
2002 when compared to $373,142 at September 30, 2001. The increase was a
result of $1,133,811 in net cash provided by operating activities, $696,077
in net cash used in investing activities and $203,334 in net cash used in
financing activities.

  The decrease of $82,781 in accounts receivable at June 30, 2002, when
compared to September 30, 2001, is attributable to the decrease in shipments
during the month ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the month ended
September 30, 2001.

  The increase of $122,366 in customer deposits at June 30, 2002, when
compared to September 30, 2001, can primarily be attributable to the increase
in NSI's sales order backlog at June 30, 2002 when compared to September 30,
2001.

  The increase in accrued federal and state income taxes payable of $236,791
at June 30, 2002, when compared to September 30, 2001, can primarily be
attributed to the increase in pre-tax income.

  Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2002
consisted of funds used to purchase investments ($482,769) and funds used for
capital expenditures ($213,308). Capital expenditures consisted primarily of
test equipment and engineering design software.

  Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2002
consisted of funds used to pay a cash dividend ($203,334) on March 13, 2002.

  At June 30, 2002, the Company had unused aggregate lines of credit totaling
$600,000. Of these lines, $100,000 is for the purchase of equipment and is
collateralized by equipment and $500,000 is for working capital and is
collateralized by accounts receivable, inventories and equipment.

  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.


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

  In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") approved
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 "Business Combinations"
("SFAS 141") and No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142")
which are effective July 1, 2001 and October 1, 2002, respectively, for the
Corporation.  SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used
for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.  This has no
material impact on the financial statements of the Company.  Under SFAS 142,
amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business
combinations, will discontinue upon adoption of this standard. The Company has
no goodwill or other intangibles as of June 30, 2002 or September 30, 2001.

  In October 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."  SFAS 144 provides guidance on the accounting
for long-lived assets to be held and used and for assets to be disposed of
through sale or other means. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 144
to have a material impact on its financial statements.
