Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
     On May 1, 2007, Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. (“Harris Stratex”) held an earnings call. In response to an analyst’s question regarding the projected revenue spread for fiscal year 2008, management stated that the projected fiscal year revenue spread would be 30%-40% in first half of the fiscal year and 60%-70% in the second half of fiscal year 2008. In follow-up calls with analysts, management corrected its prior statement by clarifying that the revenue spread for fiscal year 2008 is expected to be approximately 45% in the first half of the fiscal year and 55% in the second half.
