NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September 28, 2007
Note A Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Harris Corporation and its
subsidiaries (Harris, Company, we, our, and us refer to Harris Corporation and its
consolidated subsidiaries) have been prepared by Harris, without an audit, in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of
operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In the
opinion of management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of
normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results for the quarter ended September
28, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal
year or any subsequent period. The balance sheet at June 29, 2007 has been derived from the audited
financial statements but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. We provide complete
financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes information and footnotes
required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. The information included in this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and the Consolidated Financial Statements and
accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2007 (Fiscal 2007 Form 10-K).
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include 100% of the revenue,
expenses, assets and liabilities of our majority-owned subsidiary, Harris Stratex Networks, Inc.
(Harris Stratex Networks), and the approximately 44 percent ownership interest of the minority
stockholders of Harris Stratex Networks is recorded in Minority interest in Harris Stratex
Networks, Inc. in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). Significant
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. References to Harris Stratex Networks
include its consolidated subsidiaries.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates and assumptions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No.
48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN
48), which sets out a consistent framework for preparers to use to determine the appropriate level
of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions. This interpretation of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (Statement 109) uses a
two-step approach wherein a tax benefit is recognized if a position is more likely than not to be
sustained. The amount of the benefit to be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than
50 percent likelihood of being ultimately sustained. FIN 48 also sets out disclosure requirements
to enhance transparency of an entitys tax reserves. We implemented FIN 48 effective June 30, 2007.
See additional information in Note L Income Taxes in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements (Unaudited) for the impact on our financial position of implementing FIN 48.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements (Statement 157). Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. Statement 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require
fair value measurement in which the FASB concluded that fair value was the relevant measurement,
but does not require any new fair value measurements. Statement 157 will be effective for us
beginning in fiscal 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact Statement 157 will have on our
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
4
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (Statement 158), which
amends FASB Statements No. 87, Employers
Accounting for Pensions; No. 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of
Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits; No. 106, Employers Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions; and No. 132(R), Employers Disclosures about Pension
and Other Postretirement Benefits. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, we adopted the portion of
Statement 158 that requires the recognition and disclosure of overfunded or underfunded status of a
defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability as described in our Fiscal 2007 Form
10-K. Statement 158 also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the
date of the employers year-end balance sheet, with limited exceptions. This portion of Statement
158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, which for us will be our fiscal
2009 ending July 3, 2009. Certain of our plans currently have measurement dates that do not
coincide with our fiscal year end and thus we will be required to change their measurement dates in
fiscal 2009. We do not currently anticipate that the change in measurement dates will materially
impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Statement 159). Statement 159
allows companies to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial
assets and financial liabilities at fair value (the fair value option). The election is made on
an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for an
instrument, all unrealized gains or losses in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in
earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Statement 159 is effective for fiscal years that begin
after November 15, 2007, which for us will be our fiscal 2009. We are currently evaluating the
impact Statement 159 may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Note B Stock Options and Share-Based Compensation
As of September 28, 2007, we had three shareholder-approved share-based incentive plans for
employees under which options or other share-based compensation was outstanding, and we had the
following types of share-based awards outstanding under these plans: stock options, performance
share awards, performance share unit awards, restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit
awards. Participants in these plans include former Harris employees who are now employed with Harris Stratex
Networks and who had options or awards outstanding at the date of the combination (Harris Plans).
Additionally, Harris Stratex Networks has a share-based compensation plan that provides for stock
options, performance share awards and restricted share awards based on Harris Stratex Networks
Class A Common Stock. Harris Stratex Networks also assumed all of the former Stratex Networks, Inc.
(Stratex) outstanding stock options as of January 26, 2007, as part of the combination with
Stratex (Harris Stratex Networks Plans). We believe that such awards more closely align the
interests of our employees with those of our shareholders. The compensation cost related to our
share-based awards that was charged against income was $10.6 million for the quarter ended
September 28, 2007, which includes $2.4 million related to Harris Stratex Networks Plans, and $5.6
million for the quarter ended September 29, 2006.
Grants to Harris employees under the Harris Plans during the first quarter of fiscal 2008
consisted of 974,000 stock option grants, 194,700 performance share awards and 77,000 restricted
stock awards. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes-Merton optionpricing model which used the following assumptions: expected volatility
of 31.22%; expected dividend yield of 1.0%; and expected life in years of 4.26. There were no
grants during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 under the Harris Stratex Networks Plans.

The potential maturities of long-term debt, including the current portion, for the five years
following fiscal 2007 and, in total, thereafter are: $158.1 million for the remainder of fiscal
2008; $5.2 million in fiscal 2009; $4.0 million in fiscal 2010; $0.2 million in fiscal 2011; none
in fiscal 2012; and $400.0 million thereafter. These potential maturities take into consideration
the possibility that the debt holders will exercise put options for our 6.35% Debentures in
February 2008. All of our outstanding long-term debt is unsubordinated and unsecured with equal
ranking, except that the debt issued by Stratex described below is debt of Harris Stratex Networks
Operating Corporation and is not guaranteed by us.
On September 20, 2005, we completed the issuance of $300 million in aggregate principal amount
of 5% Notes due October 1, 2015. We may redeem the notes in whole, or in part, at any time at the
make-whole redemption price. The make-whole redemption price is equal to the greater of
100 percent of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed or the sum of the present values of
the remaining scheduled payments of the principal and interest (other than interest accruing to the
date of redemption) on the notes being redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual
basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, as
defined, plus 15 basis points. In each case, we will pay accrued interest on the principal amount
of the notes being redeemed to the redemption date. We incurred $4.1 million in debt issuance costs
and discounts related to the issuance of the notes, which are being amortized on a straight-line
basis over a ten-year period and reflected as a portion of interest expense in the accompanying
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).
7
In fiscal 2003, we issued $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.5% Convertible
Debentures due August 2022. On July 12, 2007, we initiated the steps necessary to redeem these debentures
on August 20, 2007. However, prior to the date set for redemption,
all of the debentures were converted by the holders into shares of our common stock at a conversion
rate of 44.2404 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of debentures, with the
exception of debentures in the principal amount of $3,000. This resulted in the issuance by us of
6,594,146 shares of common stock during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 in respect of the
debentures converted. On August 20, 2007, we redeemed the remaining debentures in the principal
amount of $3,000. Accordingly, no debentures remained outstanding as of August 20, 2007. We
incurred $4.8 million in debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the convertible debentures,
which costs were amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period and reflected as a
portion of interest expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income
(Unaudited).
In February 1998, we completed the issuance of $150 million in aggregate principal amount of
6.35% Debentures due February 1, 2028. We may redeem the debentures in whole, or in part, at any
time after February 2, 2008 at a pre-determined redemption price. Holders may require us to repay
all or a portion of the debentures on February 1, 2008 at 100 percent of the principal amount of
the debentures being redeemed plus accrued interest.
In January 1996, we completed the issuance of $100 million in aggregate principal amount of
7% Debentures due January 15, 2026. These debentures are not redeemable prior to maturity.
Prior to the combination with Stratex, Stratex was a party to a credit facility with Silicon
Valley Bank, and following the combination, Stratex (now named Harris Stratex Networks Operating
Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris Stratex Networks), remains a party to the
credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (the Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility). Harris
and its subsidiaries (other than Harris Stratex Networks Operating Corporation) are not parties to
the Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility and are not obligated under, or guarantors of, the
Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility. Indebtedness under the Harris Stratex Networks Credit
Facility is reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as a
result of the consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of the financial results of
Harris Stratex Networks. The Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility allows for revolving credit
borrowings of up to $50 million, with available credit defined as $50 million less the outstanding
balance of the term loan portion and any usage under the revolving credit portion. As of September
28, 2007, the balance of the term loan portion of the Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility was
$16.7 million (of which $9.2 million is recorded in the current portion of long-term debt) and
there was $6.7 million in outstanding standby letters of credit, which are defined as usage under
the revolving credit portion of the Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility. Term Loan A of the
Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility requires monthly principal payments by Harris Stratex
Networks Operating Corporation of $0.5 million plus interest at a fixed rate of 6.38% through May
2008. Term Loan B of the Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility requires monthly principal
payments by Harris Stratex Networks Operating Corporation of $0.4 million plus interest at a fixed
rate of 7.25% through March 2010. The Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility agreement contains a
minimum tangible net worth covenant and a liquidity ratio covenant. At September 28, 2007, Harris
Stratex Networks Operating Corporation was in compliance with these financial covenants.

In fiscal 2003, we issued $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.5% Convertible
Debentures due August 2022. Holders of the debentures had the right to convert each of their debentures
into shares of our common stock prior to the stated maturity. After giving effect to the adjustment
in connection with our March 2005 stock split, the conversion price was adjusted so that a holder
would receive 44.2404 shares of our common stock for each $1,000 of debentures surrendered for
conversion. This represented a conversion price of $22.625 per share of our common stock. All
remaining outstanding debentures were either converted or redeemed during the first quarter of
fiscal 2008. See additional information in Note G Long-Term Debt in these Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).
For purposes of calculating net income per diluted share, the numerator has not been adjusted
to consider the effect of potentially dilutive securities of Harris Stratex Networks because the
effect would have been antidilutive due to the net loss incurred by Harris Stratex Networks during
the quarter ended September 28, 2007.
Potential dilutive common shares consist primarily of employee stock options. Employee stock
options to purchase approximately 970,700 and 15,100 shares on September 28, 2007 and September 29,
2006, respectively, were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of net income per
diluted common share because the effect would have been antidilutive as the options exercise
prices exceeded the average market price.

Note K Guarantees and Commitments
During the quarter ended September 29, 2006, our Broadcast Communications segment entered into
an agreement to sell products and services to a customer in connection with the customers prime
contract to provide 19 transmission stations to a state agency. Pursuant to the terms of the prime
contract, the customer was required to post a $20 million bond in favor of the agency to secure the
customers obligations under the prime contract. In order to facilitate the issuance of the bond,
we entered into an agreement with the customer and the bond surety
9
to provide additional indemnity to the surety in the event the surety
incurs any loss by reason of executing such bond. Our indemnity obligations are supported by, among
other things, $2 million in irrevocable standby letters of credit obtained by the customer in our
favor; a guarantee from the customer, as primary guarantor, in our favor of up to approximately $11
million; personal guarantees from certain principals of the customer, as secondary guarantors, in
our favor of up to approximately $11 million in the aggregate; an additional fee payable by the
customer to us of up to $300,000; certain additional undertakings by the customer to us with
respect to the amount of our products and services to be sold by us to the customer in connection
with the customers prime contract with the agency; an agreement by the customer to use best
efforts to include us in any resolution procedure should default be declared or a claim be made to
the bond; and an agreement with the customer, to the extent the customer is able, recommending we
step into the customers place in the event the customer is not able to perform under the prime
contract with the agency. The bond may remain outstanding until February 2010. We believe that the
technical, project and financial risks associated with our agreement to provide additional
indemnity to the surety is remote and should not have a material effect on our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
Note L Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes and
minority interest) was 34.6 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to 24.1 percent
in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, a reduction in tax rate
resulted from a favorable settlement that was approved by the United States Joint Committee on
Taxation and related matters between us and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) concerning the tax
audit of fiscal years 2001, 2002 and 2003, which settlement and related matters were in an
aggregate amount of $12 million.
We adopted FIN 48 effective June 30, 2007. FIN 48 generally clarifies and sets forth
consistent rules for accounting for uncertain income tax positions in accordance with Statement
109. We recognized an immaterial cumulative-effect adjustment reducing our liability for
unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties and increasing the June 30, 2007 balance of our
retained earnings. The adoption also resulted in a reclassification of certain tax liabilities
from current to non-current.
We file numerous separate and consolidated income tax returns reporting the financial results
of Harris Corporation and, where appropriate, our subsidiaries and affiliates, in the U.S. federal
jurisdiction, and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no
longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2005 or to state,
local or foreign tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2001.
We had $81.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits on June 30, 2007, of which, $25.6 million
would favorably impact our future tax rates in the event that the tax benefits are eventually
recognized.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of
our income tax expense. We had accrued $5.4 million for the potential payment of interest and
penalties as of June 30, 2007 and this amount is not included in the $81.2 million of unrecognized
tax benefits referenced above.
We are currently under examination by the IRS for fiscal years 2005 and 2006. Pursuant to the
Compliance Assurance Process, the IRS is also examining our current fiscal year, 2008. We are
currently under examination by the Canadian Revenue Agency for fiscal years 2003 through 2007 and
appealing portions of a Canadian assessment relating to fiscal years 2000 through 2002. We are
currently under examination by various state and international tax authorities for fiscal years
ranging from 1990 through 2006. It is reasonably possible that there could be a significant
decrease or increase to our unrecognized tax benefit balance during the course of the next twelve
months as these examinations continue, other tax examinations commence or various statutes of
limitations expire. An estimate of the range of possible changes
cannot be made because of the
significant number of jurisdictions in which we do business and the number of open tax periods.
Note M Business Segments
Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we changed our segment reporting to reflect our
new organizational structure. For fiscal 2008, our Defense Programs area, which was previously
included in our Government Communications Systems segment, was combined with our RF Communications
business, and the combined business is now reported as our Defense Communications and Electronics
segment. Our Broadcast Communications and Harris Stratex Networks segments did not change as a
result of the adjustments to our organizational structure. Segment information
presented herein reflects the impact of these changes for all periods presented. There is no impact on our previously reported statements of income,
balance sheet or statements of cash flows resulting from this change.
10
We are structured primarily around the markets we serve and operate in four business segments
Defense Communications and Electronics, Government Communications Systems, Broadcast
Communications and Harris Stratex Networks. Our Defense Communications and Electronics segment is a
worldwide supplier of secure voice and data radio communications products, systems and networks;
conducts advanced research studies; and designs, develops and
supplies state-of-the-art
communications and information networks and equipment, primarily for the U.S. Department of
Defense, other Federal and state agencies, allied government defense and peacekeeping forces, and
other aerospace and defense companies. Our Government Communications Systems segment develops
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance solutions; designs and supports information systems
for image and other data collection, processing, interpretation, storage and retrieval; and offers
engineering, operations and support services, primarily for various agencies of the U.S. Government
other than the U.S. Department of Defense and for other aerospace and defense companies. Our
Broadcast Communications segment serves the global digital and analog markets, providing video
infrastructure and digital media products and solutions, enterprise software systems and solutions,
and television and radio transmission equipment and systems. Our Harris Stratex Networks segment
offers reliable, flexible, scalable and cost-efficient wireless transmission network solutions,
including microwave radio systems and network management software, which are backed by
comprehensive services and support, primarily to mobile and fixed telephone service providers,
private network operators, government agencies, transportation and utility companies, public safety
agencies and broadcast system operators. Within each of our business segments, there are multiple
program areas and product lines that aggregate into our four business segments described above.
The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1:
Significant Accounting Policies in our Fiscal 2007 Form 10-K. We evaluate each segments
performance based on its operating income (loss), which we define as profit or loss from
operations before income taxes and minority interest excluding interest income and expense, equity
income and gains or losses from securities and other investments. Intersegment sales among our
Defense Communications and Electronics, Government Communications Systems and Broadcast
Communications segments are transferred at cost to the buying segment and the sourcing segment
recognizes a normal profit that is eliminated. Intersegment sales between our Harris Stratex
Networks segment and any of our Defense Communications and Electronics, Government Communications
Systems and Broadcast Communications segments are recorded as arms length transactions. The
Corporate eliminations line item in the tables below represents the elimination of intersegment
sales and their related profits. Headquarters expense represents the portion of corporate
expenses not allocated to the business segments.
Total assets by business segment are summarized below:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Harris Corporation
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Harris Corporation and
subsidiaries as of September 28, 2007, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income
for the quarter ended September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, and the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the quarter ended September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the
condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Harris Corporation and
subsidiaries as of June 29, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows,
and comprehensive income and shareholders equity for the year then ended, not presented herein,
and in our report dated August 24, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of June 29, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Revenue for the quarter ended September 28, 2007 was $1,230.5 million, an increase of 30.0
percent compared to the prior-year quarter. Organic revenue growth for the first quarter of fiscal
2008 was 13 percent. Revenue increased in all four of our business segments in the first quarter
of fiscal 2008 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase in revenue was led by a
43.4 percent increase in our Government Communications System segment primarily as a result of the
June 2007 acquisition of Multimax. Our Harris Stratex Networks segment revenue also increased
significantly with an 84.1 percent increase over the prior-year quarter primarily as a result of
the combination with Stratex. Orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were $1.4 billion, an
increase of 24 percent compared to the prior-year quarter.
Net income for the quarter ended September 28, 2007 was $100.2 million, or $.73 per diluted
share, compared to $83.9 million, or $.60 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 29,
2006. The increase in net income was led by a 21.0 percent increase in our Defense Communications
and Electronics segment operating income that primarily resulted from strong sales of our Falcon®
tactical radio systems. Our Government Communications System segment also had significant
improvement in operating income with a 35.1 percent increase over the first quarter of fiscal 2007 primarily
as a result of the acquisition of Multimax. Harris Stratex Networks had an operating loss of $1.0
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to operating income of $7.9 million in the
prior-year quarter. The operating income in our Harris Stratex Networks segment was adversely
impacted by $8.3 million of integration costs associated with the combination with Stratex. Net
interest expense increased from $7.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to $13.1 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 primarily due to increased borrowings related to the
acquisition of Multimax and $200 million of cash used to repurchase our common stock in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2007.
Net income for the quarter ended September 29, 2006 benefited from a reduction in tax rate
resulting from a favorable settlement that was approved by the United States Joint Committee on
Taxation and related matters between us and the IRS concerning the tax audit
of fiscal years 2001, 2002 and 2003, which settlement and related matters were in an aggregate
amount of $12 million. The improvement in net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared
to the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was also a result of a $19.8 million pre-tax ($12.9 million
after-tax) impairment in our investment in Terion, Inc. that was recorded during the first quarter
of fiscal 2007.

Our gross margin (revenue less cost of product sales and services) as a percentage of revenue
was 31.0 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to 32.3 percent in the first quarter
of fiscal 2007. Gross margin as a percent of revenue decreased in our Harris Stratex Networks
segment and was also negatively impacted by a larger mix of sales coming from our lower-gross
margin
Government Communications Systems segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the
first quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in gross margin was partially offset by higher margins
in our Defense Communications and Electronics segment.

Our engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased from $169.4 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2007 to $216.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. As a percentage
of revenue, these expenses decreased from 17.9 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to 17.6
percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in engineering, selling and
administrative expenses was primarily due to the combination with Stratex which occurred in the
third quarter of fiscal 2007, the acquisition of Multimax in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and
$8.1 million of integration costs incurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 related to the
Stratex combination and the Multimax acquisition.

We had non-operating income of $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 28, 2007 compared
to a non-operating loss of $18.5 million for the quarter ended September 29, 2006. The increase in
our non-operating income was primarily due to a $19.8 million write-down of our investment in
Terion, Inc., partially offset by a $1.5 million gain from the sale of intellectual property
rights, in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded a
$2.1 million gain on the sale of a portion of our investment in AuthenTec, Inc.

Our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes and

for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the effective tax rate
was impacted significantly by a favorable settlement that was approved by the United States Joint
Committee on Taxation and related matters between us and the IRS concerning
the tax audit of fiscal years 2001, 2002 and 2003, which settlement and related maters were in an
aggregate amount of $12 million.
Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations
Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we changed our segment reporting to reflect our
new organizational structure. For fiscal 2008, our Defense Programs area, which was previously
included in our Government Communications Systems segment, was combined with our RF Communications
business, and the combined business is now reported as our Defense Communications and Electronics
segment. Our Broadcast Communications and Harris Stratex Networks segments did not change as a
result of the adjustments to our organizational structure. Segment information for all periods
presented herein reflects the impact of these changes for all periods presented. There is no impact
on our previously reported statements of income, balance sheet or statements of cash flows
resulting from this change.

Defense Communications and Electronics segment revenue increased 12.7 percent and operating
income increased 21.0 percent from the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to the first quarter of fiscal
2008.
Revenue growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was led by our RF Communications products,
with revenue increasing 20 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. Tactical radio demand was
strong in both the U.S. Government and international markets and across all product lines, including
Falcon II high-frequency (HF) and multiband radios and Falcon III handheld radios and vehicular
systems.
Our Falcon II and Falcon III radios are being installed in new Mine Resistant Ambush Protected
(MRAP) vehicles for the U.S Army, Navy and Marine Corps.
During the first quarter of fiscal
2008, we received $26 million in additional MRAP orders from the U.S. Navy. Delivery of MRAP
vehicles continues to be a priority for the Pentagon.
Also during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we received a $104 million order for Falcon II
HF radios and a $42 million order for Falcon II multiband radios from the U.S. Army. We also
received $68 million in orders from the U.S. Navy for Falcon II HF and multiband radios and Falcon
III handheld radios. In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we received a $25
million order to provide the U.S. Marine Corps with remote control systems that allow radio use at a
distance up to 3.5 kilometers.
In the international market, we were awarded a $76 million contract during the first quarter
of fiscal 2008 to supply the government of Pakistan with Falcon II HF radios. Orders were also
received in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from the governments of Algeria, Kazakhstan and Saudi
Arabia and from the United Arab Emirates Royal Guards.

In
our Defense Programs business, revenue declined 3 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2008
compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007. However, revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2008
compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007 increased on a number of
major communications programs, including the Common Data Link (CDL) Hawklink program for the U.S. Navy, the
U.S. Army Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) program, the Lightweight Multiband
Satellite Terminal (LMST) program for the U.S. Marine Corps, and the Multifunctional Information
Distribution System (MIDS) terminals program for Department of Defense aircraft. Growth in these
programs was offset by a decline in aircraft electronics revenue in the first quarter of fiscal
2008, primarily as a result of the transition of the F-35 Lightning II program from the development
phase to the low-rate initial production phase.

Government Communications Systems segment revenue increased 43.4 percent while operating
income increased 35.1 percent from the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to the first quarter of fiscal
2008. Organic revenue growth for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was 16 percent, excluding the impact of the acquisition of Multimax.
Revenue drivers in the segment for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 included the continued
rollout of long-term systems integration contracts, including the Field Data Collection
Automation (FDCA) program for the U.S. Census Bureau, the
Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA) Telecommunications Infrastructure
program, and equipment upgrades for the FAAs Voice Switching and Control System program. The
segment also had year-over-year growth in the quarter in classified development programs for national intelligence customers and
the Patriot IT services program for the National Reconnaissance Office. Segment revenue also
benefited from the U.S. Navy/Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) program and the NETCENTS program for
the U.S. Air Force, both part of the Multimax acquisition.
Government Communications Systems segment operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2008
was $42.7 million. Operating income benefited from strong
year-over-year organic revenue growth, the Multimax
acquisition and the renegotiation of pricing on an IT services contract, but was
negatively impacted by $23.6 million of additional charges for schedule and cost overruns
on commercial satellite reflector programs.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we were among a number of companies awarded the
5-year ALLIANT Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) by the U.S. General Services
Administration. ALLIANT will allow us to provide integrated IT product and services solutions to
support a number of Federal agencies. Also during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we were awarded
a $25 million IT services contract from the U.S. Navy, an $11 million program from the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and an
$8 million follow-on IT services program from
the U.S. Army.

Broadcast Communications segment revenue increased 4.9 percent from the first quarter of
fiscal 2007 to the first quarter of fiscal 2008, and operating income increased 18.2
percent from the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The segment is
benefiting from cost-reduction actions completed in the prior fiscal year.
18
Double-digit
revenue growth continued in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared
to the prior-year quarter in our Video Infrastructure & Digital Media business, which provides systems for routing, master control, networking, test and measurement,
multi-image processing, servers and graphics. Revenue in our Software Systems business was
slightly higher in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the
first quarter of fiscal 2007, while revenue in our Transmission Systems business declined
compared
to the prior-year quarter due to lower international transmitter sales and the exit from
the radio resale business, which occurred during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Sales of digital transmitters improved compared to the
prior-year quarter, as broadcasters prepared for the February 2009 Federal Communications Commission-mandated transition to
digital broadcast technology.
We are also benefiting from the Harris ONETM initiative to provide interoperable,
end-to-end workflow solutions that span the entire broadcast delivery chain. Our integrated products are focused on the industrys transition to digital and high-definition
services and on emerging media business and advertising models.
Broadcast Communications segment orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were greater than
revenue. Major orders in the quarter included H-Class media software for Sony Entertainment
Television, OSi-TrafficTM systems for Nexstar Broadcasting Group, NEXIO video servers
for the American Forces Network and Public Broadcasting System, a significant order for digital
signage infrastructure from the Venetian Hotel Macao and an order from the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Culture and
Information for products that span our high-definition portfolio.

Harris Stratex Networks segment revenue increased 84.1 percent from the first quarter of
fiscal 2007 to the first quarter of fiscal 2008 primarily as a result of the combination with
Stratex. Organic revenue growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was 7 percent when compared to
the prior-year quarter. The segment had an operating loss of $1.0 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2008 compared to operating income of $7.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
Operating income was adversely impacted by $8.3 million of integration and transaction-related
costs associated with the combination with Stratex and the higher mix of lower-margin, low-capacity
microwave radio shipments in the quarter.
Segment orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were higher than revenue and reflected strong
demand for wireless infrastructure systems across North America and international markets.
Demand continues to be driven by geographic footprint expansion, increased bandwidth
requirements to support new services such as 3G and WiMAX, and network hardening and
interoperability requirements for public safety. New market demand also is coming from the
adoption of Internet Protocol (IP) network technology, as operators converge voice and data networks to
provide more advanced, revenue-producing services at lower costs. Harris Stratex Networks
portfolio of products delivers software-scalable systems to achieve capacity migration, broad
frequency coverage, and network support for both traditional voice and IP traffic.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Our cash and cash equivalents decreased $24.7 million from $368.3
million at the end of fiscal 2007 to $343.6 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
The decrease was primarily due to $25.6 million of net cash used in investing activities and $62.5
million of net cash used in financing activities, partially offset by $64.1 million in net cash
provided by operating activities. We own approximately 56 percent of Harris Stratex Networks, which
had a cash balance of $79.3 million included in our consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance of $343.6 million as
of September 28, 2007. The $79.3 million balance is available only for Harris Stratex Networks
general corporate purposes.
Management currently believes that existing cash, funds generated from operations, sales of
marketable securities, our credit facilities and access to the public and private debt and equity
markets will be sufficient to provide for our anticipated requirements for working capital, capital
expenditures and share repurchases under the current repurchase program for the next 12 months and
the foreseeable future. We anticipate tax payments over the next three years to be less than our
tax expense during the same period. We anticipate that our fiscal 2008 cash payments may include
strategic acquisitions. Other than those noted in the Commercial Commitments and Contractual
Obligations discussion below in this MD&A, potential acquisitions and repurchases under our share
repurchase program, no other significant cash outlays are anticipated during the remainder of
fiscal 2008 and thereafter.
There can be no assurances, however, that our business will continue to generate cash flow at
current levels, or that anticipated operational improvements will be achieved. If we are unable to
maintain cash balances or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our obligations,
we may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures,
reduce or terminate our share repurchase program, reduce or eliminate dividends, refinance all or a portion of our existing debt
or obtain additional financing. Our ability to make scheduled principal payments or pay interest on
or refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance and financial results, which, to a
certain extent, are subject to general conditions in or affecting the defense, government,
broadcast communications and microwave communications markets and to general economic, political,
financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our control.
Net cash provided by operating activities: Our net cash provided by operating activities was
$64.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $54.2 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2007. Our Defense Communications and Electronics segment and Government Communications
Systems segment had improved cash flows for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the
prior-year quarter primarily due to improved operating income. We expect cash flow provided by
operating activities in fiscal 2008 to be between $550 million and $600 million.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities: Our net cash used in investing activities
was $25.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to net cash provided by investing
activities of $77.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Net cash used in investing
activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was primarily due to
$22.2 million of property,
plant and equipment additions and $10.3 million of capitalized software additions. This was
partially offset by the net proceeds from the sale of securities and short-term investments
available-for-sale of $8.4 million. Our total capital expenditures, including capitalized software,
in fiscal 2008 are expected to be in the $140 million to $150 million range. Net cash provided by
investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was primarily due to the net proceeds from
the sale of short-term investments
available-for-sale of $112.6 million. This was partially offset by $21.7 million
of property, plant and equipment additions and $13.3 million of capitalized software additions.
20
Net cash used in financing activities: Our net cash used in financing activities in the first
quarter of fiscal 2008 was $62.5 million compared to net cash used in financing activities in the
first quarter of fiscal 2007 of $17.9 million. Net cash used in financing activities in the first
quarter of fiscal 2008 included payment of $20.6 million of cash dividends and $50.0 million used
for repurchases of common stock. These amounts were partially offset by proceeds from the exercise
of employee stock options of $11.8 million. The net cash used in financing activities in the first
quarter of fiscal 2007 included payment of $14.7 million of cash dividends and $6.9 million used
for the repurchase of common stock. These amounts were partially offset by proceeds from the
exercise of employee stock options of $4.9 million.
Common Stock Repurchases
During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we used $50 million to repurchase 882,358 shares of
our common stock under our current repurchase program at an average price per share of $56.67
including commissions. During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we used $6.9 million to repurchase
160,000 shares of our common stock under our prior repurchase program at an average price per share
of $43.06 including commissions. Shares repurchased by us are cancelled and retired.
As of September 28, 2007 we remain authorized to repurchase $350 million of our common stock
under our repurchase program. While this program does not have a stated expiration date,
management currently expects to repurchase during fiscal 2008 and 2009 the remaining $350 million
of our common stock authorized to be repurchased under our repurchase program. We currently expect
that these repurchases will more than offset the dilutive effect of
shares to be issued under
our share-based incentive plans. Additional information regarding share repurchases during the
first quarter of fiscal 2008 and our repurchase program is set forth in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q under Part II. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Dividend Policy
On August 25, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend of
$0.15 per share, for an annualized rate of $0.60 per share, which was our sixth consecutive annual
increase in our quarterly dividend rate. Our annual common stock dividend was $0.44 per share in
fiscal 2007. The declaration of dividends and the amount thereof will depend on a number of
factors, including our financial condition, capital requirements, results of operations, future
business prospects and other factors that our Board may deem relevant. There can be no assurances
that our quarterly dividend will continue to increase or that dividends will be paid at all in the
future.
Capital Structure and Resources
On March 31, 2005, we entered into a five-year, senior unsecured revolving credit agreement
(the Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for the
extension of credit to us in the form of revolving loans and letters of credit issuances at any
time and from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement, in an aggregate principal
amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $500 million (we may request an increase, not to
exceed an additional $250 million). The Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and other
general corporate purposes and to support any commercial paper that we may issue. At our election,
borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest either at LIBOR plus an applicable margin
or at the base rate. The base rate is a fluctuating rate equal to the higher of the Federal funds
rate plus 0.50 percent or SunTrust Banks publicly announced prime lending rate. The Credit
Agreement provides that the interest rate margin over LIBOR, initially set at 0.50 percent, will
increase or decrease within certain limits based on changes in the ratings of our senior, unsecured
long-term debt securities. We are also permitted to request borrowings with interest rates and
terms that are to be set pursuant to competitive bid procedures or directly negotiated with a
lender or lenders.
The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including covenants limiting: liens on our
assets; certain mergers, consolidations or sales of assets; certain sale and leaseback
transactions; certain vendor financing investments; and the use of proceeds for hostile
acquisitions. The Credit Agreement also prohibits our consolidated ratio of total indebtedness to
total capital from being greater than 0.60 to 1.00 and prohibits our consolidated ratio of adjusted
EBITDA to net interest expense from being less than 3.00 to 1.00 for any rolling four-quarter
period. The Credit Agreement contains certain events of default, including: payment defaults;
failure to perform or observe terms and covenants; material inaccuracy of representations or
warranties; default under other indebtedness with a principal amount in excess of $50 million; the
occurrence of one or more judgments or orders for the payment of money in excess of $50 million
that remain unsatisfied; incurrence of certain ERISA liabilities in excess of $50 million; failure
to pay debts as they come due, or our bankruptcy; or a change of control, including if a person or
group becomes the beneficial owner of 25 percent or more of our voting stock. If an event of
default occurs the lenders may, among other things, terminate their commitments and declare all outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable.
21
All amounts borrowed or
outstanding under the Credit Agreement are due and mature on March 31, 2010, unless the
commitments are terminated earlier either at our request or if certain events of default occur. At
September 28, 2007, we had $400 million of commercial paper outstanding, which is backed by the
Credit Agreement. We expect to refinance the commercial paper with long-term debt during the second
quarter of fiscal 2008.
On September 20, 2005, we completed the issuance of $300 million in aggregate principal amount
of 5% Notes due October 1, 2015. Interest on the notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each
year. We may redeem the notes in whole, or in part, at any time at the make-whole redemption
price. The make-whole redemption price is equal to the greater of 100 percent of the principal
amount of the notes being redeemed or the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments of the principal and interest (other than interest accruing to the date of redemption) on
the notes being redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, as defined, plus 15 basis
points. In each case, we will pay accrued interest on the principal amount of the notes being
redeemed to the redemption date. We incurred $4.1 million in debt issuance costs and discounts
related to the issuance of the notes, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a
ten-year period and reflected as a portion of interest expense in the accompanying Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).
In fiscal 2003, we issued $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.5% Convertible
Debentures due August 2022. These debentures were convertible into shares of our common stock at a
conversion price of $22.625 during any calendar quarter if the closing price of our common stock,
for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading
day of the prior calendar quarter, was more than $24.8875, and in certain other circumstances. On
July 12, 2007, we initiated the steps necessary to redeem these debentures on August 20, 2007.
However, prior to the date set for redemption, all of the debentures were converted by the holders
into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 44.2404 shares of common stock for each
$1,000 principal amount of debentures, with the exception of debentures in the principal amount of
$3,000. This resulted in the issuance by us of 6,594,146 shares of common stock during the first
quarter of fiscal 2008 in respect of the debentures converted. On August 20, 2007, we redeemed the
remaining debentures in the principal amount of $3,000. Accordingly, no debentures remained
outstanding as of August 20, 2007.
In February 1998, we completed the issuance of $150 million in aggregate principal amount of
6.35% Debentures due February 1, 2028. We may redeem the debentures in whole, or in part, at any
time after February 2, 2008 at a pre-determined redemption price. Holders may require us to repay
all or a portion of the debentures on February 1, 2008 at 100 percent of the principal amount of
the debentures being redeemed plus accrued interest.
In January 1996, we completed the issuance of $100 million in aggregate principal amount of
7% Debentures due January 15, 2026. These debentures are not redeemable prior to maturity.
We have a universal shelf registration statement related to the potential future issuance of
an indeterminate amount of securities, including debt securities, preferred stock, common stock,
fractional interests in preferred stock represented by depository shares and warrants to purchase
debt securities, preferred stock or common stock.
Prior to the combination with Stratex, Stratex was a party to a credit facility with Silicon
Valley Bank, and following the combination, Stratex (now named Harris Stratex Networks Operating
Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris Stratex Networks), remains a party to the
credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (the Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility). Harris
and its subsidiaries (other than Harris Stratex Networks Operating Corporation) are not parties to
the Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility and are not obligated under, or guarantors of, the
Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility. Indebtedness under the Harris Stratex Networks Credit
Facility is reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as a
result of the consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of the financial results of
Harris Stratex Networks. The Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility allows for revolving credit
borrowings of up to $50 million, with available credit defined as $50 million less the outstanding
balance of the term loan portion and any usage under the revolving credit portion. As of September
28, 2007, the balance of the term loan portion of the Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility was
$16.7 million (of which $9.2 million is recorded in the current portion of long-term debt) and
there was $6.7 million in outstanding standby letters of credit, which are defined as usage under
the revolving credit portion of the Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility. Term Loan A of the
Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility requires monthly principal payments by Harris Stratex
Networks Operating Corporation of $0.5 million plus interest at a fixed rate of 6.38 percent
through May 2008. Term Loan B of the Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility requires monthly
principal payments by Harris Stratex Networks Operating Corporation of $0.4 million plus interest
at a fixed rate of 7.25 percent through March
2010. The Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility
agreement contains a minimum tangible net worth covenant and a liquidity ratio covenant. At
September 28, 2007, Harris Stratex Networks Operating Corporation was in compliance with these
financial covenants.
22
We have uncommitted short-term lines of credit from various international banks. These lines
provide for borrowings at various interest rates, typically may be terminated upon notice, may be
used on such terms as mutually agreed to by the banks and us and are reviewed annually for renewal
or modification. These lines do not require compensating balances. We have a short-term commercial
paper program in place, which we may utilize to satisfy short-term cash requirements. There was
$400 million outstanding under the commercial paper program at September 28, 2007.
Our debt is currently rated BBB+ by Standard and Poors Rating Group and Baa2 by Moodys
Investors Service. We expect to maintain operating ratios, fixed-charge coverage ratios and balance
sheet ratios sufficient for retention of or improvement to these debt ratings. There are no
assurances that our credit ratings will not be reduced in the future. If our credit rating is
lowered below investment grade, then we may not be able to issue short-term commercial paper, but
may instead need to borrow under our credit facilities or pursue other options. We do not currently
foresee losing our investment-grade debt ratings, but no assurances can be given. If our debt
ratings were downgraded, however, it could adversely impact, among other things, our future
borrowing costs and access to capital markets.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In accordance with the definition under SEC rules, any of the following qualify as off-balance
sheet arrangements:
|
|
|
Any obligation under certain guarantee contracts; |
|
|
|
|
A retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or
similar entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk
support to that entity for such assets; |
|
|
|
|
Any obligation, including a contingent obligation, under certain derivative instruments;
and |
|
|
|
|
Any obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a material variable interest
held by the registrant in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity,
market risk or credit risk support to the registrant, or engages in leasing, hedging or
research and development services with the registrant. |
During the quarter ended September 29, 2006, our Broadcast Communications segment entered into
an agreement to sell products and services to a customer in connection with the customers prime
contract to provide 19 transmission stations to a state agency. Pursuant to the terms of the prime
contract, the customer was required to post a $20 million bond in favor of the agency to secure the
customers obligations under the prime contract. In order to facilitate the issuance of the bond,
we entered into an agreement with the customer and the bond surety to provide additional indemnity
to the surety in the event the surety incurs any loss by reason of executing such bond. Our
indemnity obligations are supported by, among other things, $2 million in irrevocable standby
letters of credit obtained by the customer in our favor; a guarantee from the customer, as primary
guarantor, in our favor of up to approximately $11 million; personal guarantees from certain
principals of the customer, as secondary guarantors, in our favor of up to approximately $11
million in the aggregate; an additional fee payable by the customer to us of up to $300,000;
certain additional undertakings by the customer to us with respect to the amount of our products
and services to be sold by us to the customer in connection with the customers prime contract with
the agency; an agreement by the customer to use best efforts to include us in any resolution
procedure should default be declared or a claim be made to the bond; and an agreement with the
customer, to the extent the customer is able, recommending we step into the customers place in
the event the customer is not able to perform under the prime contract with the agency. The bond
may remain outstanding until February 2010. We believe that the technical, project and financial
risks associated with our agreement to provide additional indemnity to the surety is remote and
should not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Currently we are not participating in transactions that generate relationships with
unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including variable interest entities, and we do
not have any material retained or contingent interest in assets as defined above. As of September
28, 2007, we did not have material financial guarantees or other contractual commitments that are
reasonably likely to adversely affect liquidity. In addition, we are not currently a party to any
related party transactions that materially affect our financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
23
We have, from time to time, divested certain of our businesses and assets. In connection with
these divestitures, we often provide representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover
various risks and unknown liabilities, such as environmental liabilities and tax liabilities. We
cannot estimate the potential liability from such representations, warranties and indemnities
because they relate to
unknown conditions. We do not believe, however, that the liabilities relating to these
representations, warranties and indemnities will have a material adverse effect on our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
Due to our downsizing of certain operations pursuant to acquisitions, restructuring plans or
otherwise, certain properties leased by us have been sublet to third parties. In the event any of
these third parties vacate any of these premises, we would be legally obligated under master lease
arrangements. We believe that the financial risk of default by such sublessees is individually and
in the aggregate not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Commercial Commitments and Contractual Obligations
The amounts disclosed in our Fiscal 2007 Form 10-K include our commercial commitments and
contractual obligations. During the quarter ended September 28, 2007, other than the aforementioned
conversion of our 3.5% convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $149.1 million
to common stock, no material changes occurred in our contractual cash obligations to repay debt, to
purchase goods and services and to make payments under operating leases or our commercial
commitments and contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit, guarantees and other
arrangements as disclosed in our Fiscal 2007 Form 10-K.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and accompanying Notes are
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preparing financial
statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the
application of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note
1: Significant Accounting Policies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
our Fiscal 2007 Form 10-K. Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that require
application of managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of
matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting
policies and estimates for us include: (i) revenue recognition on development and production
contracts and contract estimates, (ii) provisions for excess and obsolete inventory losses, (iii)
impairment testing of goodwill, (iv) income taxes and tax valuation allowances, and (v) assumptions
used to record stock option and share-based compensation. For additional discussion of our critical
accounting policies and estimates, see our Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations in our Fiscal 2007 Form 10-K.
Impact Of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
As described in Note A Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
in the Notes, there are accounting pronouncements that have recently been issued but not yet
implemented by us. Note A includes a description of the potential impact that these pronouncements
are expected to have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they do not materialize or prove correct, could
cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be
deemed forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements concerning: our plans,
strategies and objectives for future operations; new products, services or developments; future
economic conditions, performance or outlook; the outcome of contingencies; the potential level of
share repurchases; the value of our contract awards and programs; expected cash flows or capital
expenditures; our beliefs or expectations; and assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of forward-looking terminology, such as
believes, expects, may, should, would, will, intends, plans, estimates,
anticipates, projects and similar words or expressions. You should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements, which reflect our managements opinions only as of the date of the
filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements are made in reliance upon
the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The following are some
factors we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected or historical
results.
24
|
|
|
We participate in markets that are often subject to uncertain economic conditions, which
makes it difficult to estimate growth in our markets and, as a result, future income and
expenditures. |
|
|
|
|
We depend on the U.S. Government for a significant portion of our revenue, and the loss
of this relationship or a shift in U.S. Government funding priorities could have adverse
consequences on our future business. |
|
|
|
|
We depend significantly on our U.S. Government contracts, which often are only partially
funded, subject to immediate termination, and heavily regulated and audited. The termination
or failure to fund one or more of these contracts could have an adverse impact on our
business. |
|
|
|
|
We enter into fixed-price contracts that could subject us to losses in the event of cost
overruns. |
|
|
|
|
We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from international operations and are
subject to the risks of doing business internationally, including fluctuations in currency
exchange rates. |
|
|
|
|
Our future success will depend on our ability to develop new products that achieve market
acceptance. |
|
|
|
|
We cannot predict the consequences of future geo-political events, but they may affect
adversely the markets in which we operate, our ability to insure against risks, our
operations or our profitability. |
|
|
|
|
We have made, and may continue to make, strategic acquisitions that involve significant
risks and uncertainties. |
|
|
|
|
The inability of our subcontractors to perform, or our key suppliers to deliver our
components or products, could cause our products to be produced in an untimely or
unsatisfactory manner. |
|
|
|
|
Third parties have claimed in the past and may claim in the future that we are infringing
upon their intellectual property rights, and third parties may infringe upon our
intellectual property rights. |
|
|
|
|
The outcome of litigation or arbitration in which we are involved is unpredictable and an
adverse decision in any such matter could have a material adverse effect on our financial
position and results of operations. |
|
|
|
|
We are subject to customer credit risk. |
|
|
|
|
Developing new technologies entails significant risks and uncertainties. |
|
|
|
|
Changes in our effective tax rate may have an adverse effect on our results of
operations. |
|
|
|
|
Our consolidated financial results may be impacted by Harris Stratex Networks financial
results, which may vary significantly and be difficult to forecast. |
|
|
|
|
We have significant operations in Florida, California and other locations that could be
materially and adversely impacted in the event of a natural disaster. |
|
|
|
|
Changes in future business conditions could cause business investments and/or recorded
goodwill to become impaired, resulting in substantial losses and write-downs that would
reduce our results of operations. |
|
|
|
|
In order to be successful, we must attract and retain key employees, and failure to do so
could seriously harm us. |
Additional details and discussions concerning some of the factors that could affect our
forward-looking statements or future results are set forth in our Fiscal 2007 Form 10-K under Item
1A. Risk Factors. The foregoing list of factors and the factors set forth in Item 1A. Risk
Factors included in our Fiscal 2007 Form 10-K and in Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not exhaustive. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to
us or that we currently believe not to be material also may adversely impact our operations and
financial position. Should any risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, these
developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows
and results of operations. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q are made as of the date hereof and we disclaim any
intention or obligation, other than
imposed by law, to
25
update or revise any forward-looking statements or to update the reasons actual
results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise. For further information concerning risk
factors, see Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
In the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to the risks associated with foreign
currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. We employ established policies and
procedures governing the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.
Foreign Exchange and Currency: We use foreign exchange contracts and options to hedge both
balance sheet and off-balance sheet future foreign currency commitments. Generally, these foreign
exchange contracts offset foreign currency denominated inventory and purchase commitments from
suppliers, accounts receivable from and future committed sales to customers, and intercompany
loans. We believe the use of foreign currency financial instruments should reduce the risks that
arise from doing business in international markets. At September 28, 2007, we had open foreign
exchange contracts with a notional amount of $120.3 million, of which $53.3 million were classified
as cash flow hedges, $24.6 million were classified as fair value hedges and $42.4 million were not
designated as hedges under the provisions of Statement 133. This compares to open foreign exchange
contracts with a notional amount of $107.2 million as of June 29, 2007, of which $29.8 million were
classified as cash flow hedges, $40.0 million were classified as fair value hedges and $37.4
million were not designated as hedges under the provisions of Statement 133. At September 28, 2007,
contract expiration dates ranged from less than one month to 15 months with a weighted average
contract life of approximately 2 months.
More specifically, the foreign exchange contracts classified as cash flow hedges are primarily
being used to hedge currency exposures from cash flows anticipated in our Harris Stratex Networks
segment related to customer orders denominated in non-functional currencies that are currently in
backlog and in our Defense Communications and Electronics segment related to programs in the U.K.
and Canada. We have hedged the forecasted cash flows related to payments made to our U.S.
operations to maintain our anticipated profit margins. We have also hedged U.S. dollar payments to
suppliers to maintain our anticipated profit margins. As of September 28, 2007, we estimated that a
pre-tax gain of less than $1.4 million would be reclassified into net income from comprehensive
income within the next 15 months related to these cash flow
hedges.
The
net loss included in our net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and the first
quarter of fiscal 2007 representing the amount of fair value and cash flow hedges ineffectiveness
was not material. No amounts were recognized in our net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2008
or the first quarter of fiscal 2007 related to the component of the derivative instruments gain or
loss excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. In addition, no amounts were recognized
in our net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 or the first quarter of fiscal 2007 related
to hedged firm commitments that no longer qualify as fair value hedges. All of these derivatives
were recorded at their fair value on the balance sheet in accordance with Statement 133.
Factors that could impact the effectiveness of our hedging programs for foreign currency
include accuracy of sales estimates, volatility of currency markets and the cost and availability
of hedging instruments. A 10 percent adverse change in currency exchange rates for our foreign
currency derivatives held at September 28, 2007 would have an impact of approximately $3.8 million
on the fair value of such instruments. This quantification of exposure to the market risk
associated with foreign exchange financial instruments does not take into account the offsetting
impact of changes in the fair value of our foreign denominated assets, liabilities and firm
commitments.
Interest Rates: We utilize a balanced mix of debt maturities, along with both fixed-rate and
variable-rate debt and available lines of credit to manage our exposure to changes in interest
rates. We do not expect changes in interest rates to have a material effect on income or cash flows
in fiscal 2008, although there can be no assurances that interest rates will not change
significantly.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures: We maintain disclosure controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
26
There are inherent limitations to the
effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of
human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even
effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving
their control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating
the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain
unconsolidated entities. As we do not control or manage those entities, our controls and procedures
with respect to those entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain
with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries. As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act,
as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2007, we carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This
evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our senior
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of
the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2007 our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective.
(b) Changes in internal control: We periodically review our system of internal control over
financial reporting as part of our efforts to ensure compliance with the requirements of Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In addition, we periodically review our system of internal
control over financial reporting to identify potential changes to our processes and systems that
may improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal
control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient
systems, consolidating the activities of acquired business units, migrating certain processes to
our shared services organizations, formalizing policies and procedures, improving segregation of
duties, and adding additional monitoring controls. In addition, when we acquire new businesses, we
incorporate our controls and procedures into the acquired business as part of our integration
activities. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2007 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Not Applicable.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Investors should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors which
could materially affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition set
forth under Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Fiscal 2007 Form 10-K. We do not believe that there have
been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Fiscal 2007 Form 10-K. We
may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future
filings with the SEC.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we repurchased 882,358 shares of our common stock at
an average price per share of $56.64 under our current repurchase program. During the first quarter
of fiscal 2007, we repurchased 160,000 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of
$43.03 under our prior repurchase program. The level of our repurchases depends on a number of
factors, including our financial condition, capital requirements, results of operations, future
business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant. The timing, volume
and nature of share repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws and
other factors and are at the discretion of management and may be suspended or discontinued at any
time. Shares repurchased by us are cancelled and retired.

On April 27, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing
us to repurchase up to $600 million of our stock through open-market transactions, private
transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions or any
combination thereof. This new share repurchase program does not have a stated expiration date. All repurchases made in the quarter ended September 28, 2007 under this program were made in open-market transactions.
This new share repurchase program is expected to result in repurchases in excess of offsetting
the dilutive effect of shares issued under our share-based incentive plans. However, the level
of repurchases also depends on a number of factors, including our financial condition, capital
requirements, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors our Board of
Directors may deem relevant. As a matter of policy, we do not repurchase shares during the
period beginning on the 15th day of the third month of a fiscal quarter and ending two days
following the public release of earnings and financial results for such fiscal quarter. |

Represents a combination of (a) shares of our common stock delivered to us in satisfaction of
the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligation by holders of employee stock options who
exercised stock options, (b) shares of our common stock delivered to us in satisfaction of the
tax withholding obligation of holders of performance shares or restricted shares which vested
during the quarter, (c) performance or restricted shares returned to us upon the retirement or
employment termination of employees, or (d) shares of our common stock purchased by the
trustee of the Harris Corporation Master Rabbi Trust at our direction to fund obligations
under our deferred compensation plans. Our share-based incentive plans provide that the value
of shares delivered to us to pay the exercise price of options or to cover tax withholding
obligations shall be the closing price of our common stock on the date the relevant
transaction occurs. |

securities.
