Narrative description of the issuer’s business:

Established in 1967 in East Syracuse, New York, MFC occupies a modern 40,000 square foot facility with an impressive complement of analytical and design software, test instrumentation, prototype and manufacturing equipment to create passive filters, components and sub systems in the frequency range of 10 MHz to 50 GHz.

MFC manufactures radio frequency (RF) filters and related components for eliminating interference and facilitating signal processing for such markets as 5G, Cable Television, Broadcast, Commercial and Military Communications, Avionics, Radar, Navigation and Defense. The Company designs waveguide, stripline/ microstrip, transmission line, miniature/subminiature and lumped constant filters. Configurations include bandpass, highpass, lowpass, bandstop, multiplexers, tunable notch, tunable bandpass, high power filters, amplitude equalized, delay equalized and filter networks. The Company actively produces over 1,700 standard products and has designed more than 5,000 custom products for specialized applications.

The manufacturing facility includes a modern CAD system, a test department with automated network analyzers to 50 GHz, a high capacity conveyor soldering oven and a fully compliant finishing operation. The Company's Quality Management System has been certified ISO 9001:2015 recognizing the Company as a quality vendor.

Efficient computer simulation, design and analysis software enhanced by proprietary MFC developed software, allow rapid and accurate filter development at reasonable cost. Automated network analyzers provide rigorous product testing and performance data storage on a serial number basis in most cases.

A network based CAD system allows the transfer of data and programs to the CNC turning and milling centers for fabrication of machined parts. Prototype PC boards are similarly produced by computer controlled PC board mills.

A Grieve high capacity conveyor soldering oven is used for production of large quantity assemblies while smaller production quantities are assembled at hand soldering or brazing stations.

ISO 9001:2015 contract and design review procedures coupled with a QA department that is compliant with MIL-I-45208 inspection systems and MIL-STD-45622 calibration system standards assures process and product integrity.

Other in-house testing facilities include environmental chambers capable of testing products for temperatures of -40 to 200 degrees Celsius and humidity up to 100 percent. Several high power amplifiers are available for power tests. We have 2500 watt capability from 88-108Mhz with 200 watt capability up to 2200 Mhz. Facilities are also available for salt spray, sand and dust, shock and vibration, RFI leakage and altitude testing.
