All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including statements of the plans, strategies, and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning new products, services, or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions, performance, or outlook; statements of belief or expectation; and any statement of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Factors that might cause such difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” below.

PART I

 
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

THE COMPANY

      Harris Corporation, along with its subsidiaries, is an international company focused on the worldwide market for voice, data, and video communications equipment for wireless, broadcast, network support, and government markets. Harris was incorporated in Delaware in 1926 as the successor to three companies founded in the 1890’s. The principal executive offices of Harris Corporation (hereinafter called “Harris” or the “Company”) are located at 1025 West NASA Boulevard, Melbourne, Florida 32919, and the telephone number is (321) 727-9100.

Recent Development of Business

      During fiscal 2001 Harris undertook several acquisitions and dispositions designed to strengthen its position in the communications markets.

      Acquisition of WavTrace, Inc. In August 2000, Harris acquired WavTrace, Inc., a developer of broadband microwave radio systems for high-speed wireless access to the Internet and other data, voice, and video services. Prior to the acquisition, Harris owned slightly less than 20 percent of WavTrace. The purchase price for the remaining 80 percent was valued at $144.0 million. For a discussion of WavTrace and its technology, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” below. This business is being operated within Harris’ Microwave Communications segment.

      Acquisition of Exigent International, Inc. In May 2001, Harris acquired Exigent International, Inc., a provider of professional services and software support to government agencies for the management of satellite command and control, telecommunications and information technology programs. The purchase price was $34.7 million. This business is being operated within Harris’ Government Communications segment.

      Acquisition of Hirschmann Multimedia Communications Network Business. In fiscal 2001, Harris entered into agreements to acquire the Hirschmann Multimedia Communications Network Business, a leader in European-standard digital video television and digital audio broadcast radio transmitters and digital cable systems with annual sales of $26.0 million. The transaction was completed at the start of the first quarter of fiscal 2002. This business is being operated within Harris’ Broadcast Communications segment.

      Sale of Joint Venture Interests. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, Harris sold its minority interest in GE-Harris Railway Electronics to General Electric for $50.0 million.

      Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, Harris sold its minority interest in GE-Harris Energy Controls Systems to General Electric. This sale and related transactions resulted in proceeds to Harris of approximately $29.0 million.

      During fiscal 2000, Harris completed its repositioning as a company focused on communications and communications equipment. During fiscal 2000, Harris completed the spin-off of its Lanier Worldwide, Inc. subsidiary and the sale of Harris’ semiconductor business and also exited from the telephone switching and

alarm management product lines. As a result of these actions, Harris’ consolidated financial statements and notes for prior periods report the Lanier Worldwide, Inc. and semiconductor businesses as discontinued operations and, accordingly, prior periods have been restated.

General

      Harris structures its operations around five segments: the Government Communications segment, the RF Communications segment, the Microwave Communications segment, the Network Support segment and the Broadcast Communications segment. Each of Harris’ five segments, which are referred to by Harris as “divisions”, have been organized on the basis of specific communications markets. For the most part, each operating segment has its own marketing, engineering, manufacturing, and product service and maintenance organization. Harris produces most of the products it sells, except for certain broadcast products sold by the Broadcast Communications segment, which products are sourced from a variety of manufacturers. Reference is made to the Note Business Segments in the Notes to Financial Statements for further information with respect to business segments.

      Total revenues in fiscal 2001 increased to approximately $1.96 billion from approximately $1.81 billion a year earlier. Total sales in the United States increased approximately 5 percent from a year earlier while international sales, which amounted to approximately 29 percent of the total from continuing operations, increased approximately 18 percent. Net income from continuing operations for fiscal 2001 decreased to $21.4 million from $25.0 million in fiscal 2000.

efficiently manage their communications networks. The Enterprise Solution enables IT managers to rapidly configure services from a central location.

      Sales in fiscal 2001 for the Network Support segment decreased 42.3 percent compared to fiscal 2000. Segment loss before income taxes was $0.6 million in fiscal 2001, compared to a $67.1 million loss in fiscal 2000. The fiscal 2000 loss was impacted by a $41.0 million restructuring charge and a $12.0 million write-down of inventory related to the exited telephone switching and alarm management product lines. The Network Support segment contributed 6 percent of Harris’ total sales from continuing operations in fiscal 2001, 12 percent in fiscal 2000, and 13 percent in fiscal 1999.

      In general, the segment’s domestic products are sold and serviced directly to customers through its sales organizations and through established distribution channels. Internationally, the segment markets and sells its products and services through regional sales offices and established distribution channels. See “International Business.”

      The backlog of unfilled orders for this segment of Harris’ business was $18 million at July 27, 2001, substantially all of which is expected to be filled during the 2002 fiscal year, compared with $23 million a year earlier.

Broadcast Communications Segment

      The Broadcast Communications segment is a leading manufacturer and supplier of (1) digital and analog radio and television broadcast encoding and transmission equipment, systems, and services, (2) radio and television studio equipment, systems, and services, and (3) automation solutions enabling television stations, groups, and networks to monitor and control hardware, software, and related elements from a central location and to otherwise automate systems for television, over-the-air broadcast, and cable and industrial applications. This segment provided the nation’s first advanced television transmitter to broadcast digital television as well as the first commercial digital television application. The segment is also expanding its efforts in the digital radio area and is developing the next wave of radio-broadcasting including In-Band/On Channel digital radio.

      The Broadcast Communications segment has expanded its presence in international digital broadcast markets. At the start of fiscal 2002, Harris acquired the Hirschmann Multimedia Communications Network business, a leader in European-standard digital video television and digital audio broadcast radio transmitters and digital cable systems.

      Principal customers for the segment’s products and services include domestic and international television and radio broadcasters.

      Major products, systems, and services offered by the Broadcast Communications segment include:

  •  digital solid state AM, FM, VHF, and UHF transmission systems,
 
  •  digital television, encoding, master control and monitoring systems,
 
  •  in-band/on-channel (IBOC) digital radio compatible transmitters,
 
  •  analog radio and television transmission systems,

Table of Contents

The fiscal 2000 income was impacted by a $10.7 million write-off of purchased in-process research and development related to the acquisition of Louth Automation. The Broadcast Communications segment contributed 17 percent of Harris’ total sales from continuing operations in fiscal 2001, 14 percent in fiscal 2000, and 13 percent in fiscal 1999.

      In general, the segment’s domestic products are sold and serviced directly to customers through its sales organizations and through established distribution channels. Internationally, the segment markets and sells its products and services through regional sales offices and established distribution channels. See “International Business.”

      The backlog of unfilled orders for this segment of Harris’ business was $103 million at July 27, 2001, substantially all of which is expected to be filled during the 2002 fiscal year, compared with $79 million a year earlier.

International Business

      Revenues in fiscal 2001 from products exported from the United States or manufactured abroad were $572.8 million or 29 percent of the Company’s total sales, compared with $487.3 million or 27 percent of the Company’s total sales from continuing operations in fiscal 2000 and $448.5 million or 26 percent in fiscal 1999. The Company’s international sales include both direct exports from the United States and sales from foreign subsidiaries. Most of the international sales are derived from the Microwave Communications, RF Communications, and Broadcast Communications segments. Direct export sales are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, whereas sales from foreign subsidiaries are generally denominated in the local currency of the subsidiary. Exports from the United States, principally to Europe, Latin America, and Asia, totaled $227.1 million or 40 percent of the international sales in fiscal 2001, $229.7 million or 47 percent of the international sales from continuing operations in fiscal 2000 and $242.2 million or 54 percent of the international sales from continuing operations in fiscal 1999.

      Foreign operations represented 18 percent of revenues and 12 percent of long-lived assets as of June 29, 2001. Government Communication segment systems are produced principally in the United States. International revenues are derived primarily from exports. International manufacturing facilities are located in Brazil, Canada, China, and the United Kingdom.

      International marketing activities are conducted through subsidiaries which operate in Canada, Europe, Central and South America, and Asia. Harris has also established an international marketing organization and several regional sales offices. Reference is made to Exhibit 21 “Subsidiaries of the Registrant” for further information regarding foreign subsidiaries.

      Harris utilizes indirect sales channels, including dealers, distributors, and sales representatives, in the marketing and sale of some lines of products and equipment, both domestically and internationally. These independent representatives may buy for resale or, in some cases, solicit orders from commercial or governmental customers for direct sales by Harris. Prices to the ultimate customer in many instances may be recommended or established by the independent representative and may be on a basis which is above or below the Company’s list prices. These independent representatives generally receive a discount from the Company’s list prices and may mark-up those prices in setting the final sales prices paid by the customer. During the 2001 fiscal year, sales from indirect sales channels represented 9 percent of Harris’ total sales and 27 percent of Harris’ international sales.

      Fiscal year 2001 orders came from a large number of foreign countries, no one of which accounted for five percent or more of the Company’s total orders.

      Certain of Harris’ exports are paid for by letters of credit, with the balance carried either on an open account or installment note basis. Advance payments, progress payments, or other similar payments received prior to or upon shipment often cover most of the related costs incurred. Performance guarantees by the Company are generally required on significant foreign government contracts. In order to stay competitive in international markets, the Company also enters into recourse and vendor financing to facilitate sales to certain customers.

      The particular economic, social, and political conditions for business conducted outside the United States differ from those encountered by domestic businesses. Management believes that the overall business risk for the international business as a whole is somewhat greater than that faced by its domestic operations as a whole. International business may subject the Company to risks such as:

  •  the laws and regulations of foreign governments relating to investments and operations,
 
  •  currency exchange controls, fluctuation of currency, and currency revaluations,
 
  •  taxes,
 
  •  uncertainties as to local laws and enforcement of contract and intellectual property rights and occasional requirements for onerous contract clauses, and
 
  •  rapid changes in governments and economic and political policies, political or civil unrest, or the threat of international boycotts and United States anti-boycott legislation.

      Nevertheless, in the opinion of management, these risks are offset by the diversification of the international business and the protection provided by letters of credit and advance payments.

      Except for inconsequential matters, such as matters involving road and utility rights-of-way, Harris has never been subjected to threat of government expropriation, either within the United States or abroad.

      Financial information regarding the Company’s domestic and international operations is contained in the Note Business Segments in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Competition

      Harris operates in highly competitive businesses that are sensitive to technological advances. Although successful product and systems development is not necessarily dependent on substantial financial resources, some of Harris’ competitors in each of its businesses are larger and can maintain higher levels of expenditures for research and development than Harris. Harris’ competitors in the RF Communications, Microwave Communications, Network Support, and Broadcast Communications segments include large multinational communications companies, as well as smaller companies with developing technology expertise. Harris’ competition for U.S. government contracts typically are large, technically competent firms with substantial assets. Harris concentrates in each of its businesses on the market opportunities which management believes are compatible with its resources, overall technological capabilities, and objectives. Principal competitive factors in these businesses are cost-effectiveness, product quality and reliability, technological capabilities, service, ability to meet delivery schedules, and the effectiveness of dealers in international areas.

Principal Customers

      Sales to the U.S. government, which is the Company’s only customer accounting for 10 percent or more of total sales, were 42 percent, 41 percent and 42 percent of the Company’s total sales from continuing operations in fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. All U.S. government contracts are terminable at the convenience of the U.S. government, as well as for default. Under contracts terminable at the convenience of the U.S. government, a contractor is entitled to receive payments for its allowable costs and, in general, the proportionate share of fees or earnings for the work done. Contracts which are terminable for default generally provide that the U.S. government only pays for the work it has accepted and may require the contractor to pay for the incremental cost of reprocurement and may hold the contractor liable for damages.

      Companies engaged in supplying goods and services to the U.S. government are dependent on congressional appropriations and administrative allotment of funds and may be affected by changes in U.S. government policies resulting from various military and political developments. In many cases, there is also additional uncertainty relating to the complexity of designs, necessity for design improvements, and difficulty in forecasting costs and schedules when bidding on developmental and highly sophisticated technical work. For further discussion of risks relating to U.S. government contracts see “Legal Proceedings.” It is not expected that changes to the Department of Defense budget will have a material effect on the profitability of Harris in fiscal 2002.

Backlog

      Harris’ backlog of unfilled orders from continuing operations was approximately:

  •  $775 million at July 27, 2001,
  •  $727 million at July 31, 2000, and
  •  $786 million at July 31, 1999.

      Substantially all of the backlog orders at July 27, 2001 are expected to be filled during fiscal 2002. The determination of backlog involves substantial estimating, particularly with respect to customer requirements contracts and long-term contracts of a cost-reimbursement or incentive nature.

Research, Development, and Engineering

      Research, development, and engineering expenditures by Harris for its continuing operations totaled approximately:

  •  $486 million in fiscal 2001,
  •  $480 million in fiscal 2000, and
  •  $500 million in fiscal 1999.

      Company-sponsored research and product development costs for its continuing operations were approximately:

  •  $114 million in fiscal 2001,
  •  $100 million in fiscal 2000, and
  •  $92 million in fiscal 1999.

      The portion of total research, development, and engineering expenditures not Company-sponsored was funded by government and commercial customers. Company-funded research is directed to the development of new products and to building technological capability in selected communications and electronic systems areas. Government-funded research helps strengthen and broaden the technical capabilities of Harris in its areas of interest. Almost all of the segments maintain their own engineering and new product development departments, with scientific assistance provided by advanced-technology departments.

      Harris currently employs about 4,000 engineers and scientists and is making efforts to make the technologies developed in any of our segments available for all other segments.

Patents and Intellectual Property

      Harris holds numerous patents which it considers, in the aggregate, to constitute an important asset. However, Harris does not consider its business or any business segment to be materially dependent upon any single patent or any group of related patents. Harris is engaged in a pro-active patent licensing program, especially in the RF Communications, Microwave Communications, Network Support, and Broadcast Communications segments, and has entered into a number of unilateral license and cross-license agreements, many of which generate royalty income. Although existing license agreements have generated income in past years and will do so in the future, there can be no assurances Harris will enter into additional income producing license agreements. With regard to patents relating to the Government Communications segment, the U.S. government often has an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license, pursuant to which the government may use or authorize others to use the inventions covered by such patents. Pursuant to similar arrangements, the government may consent to Harris’ use of inventions covered by patents owned by other persons.

      Numerous trademarks used on or in connection with Harris products are considered to be a valuable asset of Harris.

Environmental and Other Regulations

      The manufacturing facilities of Harris, in common with those of industry generally, are subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to protect the environment, particularly with regard to wastes and emissions. Harris believes that it has materially complied with these requirements and that such compliance has not had a material adverse effect on its business or financial condition. Expenditures to protect the

12


Table of Contents

environment and to comply with current environmental laws and regulations over the next several years are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s competitive or financial position. If future laws and regulations contain more stringent requirements than presently anticipated, actual expenditures may be higher than the Company’s present estimates of those expenditures.

      Waste treatment facilities and pollution control equipment have been installed to satisfy legal requirements and to achieve the Company’s waste minimization and prevention goals. An estimated $0.1 million was spent on environmental capital projects in each of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, and $0.3 million was spent in fiscal 1999. A significant portion of these expenditures related to discontinued operations; however, the Company has retained certain environmental liabilities with respect to some of its discontinued operations. The Company currently forecasts authorization for environmental-related capital projects totaling $0.1 million in fiscal 2002. These amounts may increase in future years.

      Additional information regarding environmental matters is set forth in “Legal Proceedings” and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Raw Materials and Supplies

      Because of the diversity of the Company’s products and services, as well as the wide geographic dispersion of its facilities, the Company uses numerous sources for the wide array of raw materials needed for its operations and for products that it sells. The Company is dependent upon suppliers and subcontractors for a large number of components and the ability of its suppliers and subcontractors to meet performance and quality specifications and delivery schedules. In some instances, the Company is dependent upon one or a few sources, either because of the specialized nature of a particular item or because of domestic preference requirements pursuant to which it operates on a given project. To date, the Company has not been materially adversely affected by the inability to obtain raw materials or products.

Employees

      As of June 29, 2001, Harris had approximately 10,100 employees, of whom approximately 8,800 were located in the United States. Approximately 1,000 employees were employed in the RF Communications segment, 1,600 in the Microwave Communications segment, 300 in the Network Support segment, 1,100 in the Broadcast Communications segment, and 5,400 in the Government Communications segment, with the remainder employed in headquarters or other support or service functions. In general, Harris believes that its relations with its employees are good.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES.

      Harris operates approximately 18 plants and approximately 55 offices in the United States, Canada, Europe, Central and South America, and Asia, consisting of about 4.4 million square feet of manufacturing, administrative, warehousing, engineering, and office facilities that are owned and about 1.2 million square feet of sales, office, and manufacturing facilities that are leased. The leased facilities are for the most part occupied under leases for terms ranging from one year to 30 years, a majority of which can be terminated or renewed at no longer than five-year intervals at Harris’ option. The Company’s corporate headquarters are owned and located in Melbourne, Florida. The location of the principal manufacturing plants owned by the Company, and the business segments which utilize such plants are as follows: Government Communications segment — Malabar, Melbourne, and Palm Bay, Florida; RF Communications segment — Rochester, New York; Microwave Communications segment — Redwood Shores, California; San Antonio, Texas; Sao Paulo, Brazil; Montreal, Canada; and Shenzhen, China; Network Support segment — Camarillo, California; and Melbourne, Florida; and Broadcast Communications segment — Quincy, Illinois; Sunnyvale, California; Littleton, Massachusetts; Cincinnati, Ohio; Rennes, France; and Cambridge, U.K.

      In the opinion of management, Harris’ facilities are suitable and adequate for their intended purposes and have capacities adequate for current and projected needs. Unused or under-utilized facilities are not considered significant.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

      From time to time, as a normal incident of the nature and kind of business in which the Company is engaged, various claims or charges are asserted and litigation commenced against the Company arising from or related to: product liability; patents, trademarks, or trade secrets; labor and employee disputes; breach of warranty; antitrust; distribution; or contractual relations. Claimed amounts may be substantial but may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits of the claim or the extent of any real risk of court awards. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, in the opinion of management, settlements and final judgments, if any, which might be rendered against the Company in existing litigation are reserved against, covered by insurance, or would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or the business of the Company as a whole.

      Government contractors, such as the Company, engaged in supplying goods and services to the U.S. government and its various agencies are dependent on congressional appropriations and administrative allotment of funds and may be affected by changes in U.S. government policies. U.S. government contracts typically involve long lead times for design and development and are subject to significant changes in contract scheduling and may be unilaterally modified or cancelled by the government. Often these contracts call for successful design and production of complex and technologically advanced products or systems. The Company may participate in supplying goods and services to the U.S. government as either a prime contractor or as a subcontractor to a prime contractor. Disputes may arise between the prime contractor and the government and the prime contractor and its subcontractors and may result in litigation between the contracting parties.

      From time to time, the Company, either individually or in conjunction with other U.S. government contractors, may be the subject of U.S. government investigations for alleged criminal or civil violations of procurement or other federal laws. These investigations may be conducted without the Company’s knowledge. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of such investigations or to estimate the amounts of resulting claims or other actions that could be instituted against it, its officers or employees. Under present government procurement regulations, if indicted or adjudged in violation of procurement or other federal civil laws a contractor, such as the Company, or one or more of its operating divisions, could be suspended or debarred from eligibility for awards of new government contracts for up to three years. In addition, a government contractor’s foreign export control licenses could be suspended or revoked. As an international company, Harris is, from time to time, the subject of investigations relating to its international operations, including under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws. The Company is currently cooperating with certain government representatives in investigations relating to potential violations of federal procurement, foreign corrupt practices and other laws. Management does not believe that the outcome of these current disputes or investigations will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or the business of the Company as a whole.

      In addition, the Company is subject to numerous federal and state environmental laws and regulatory requirements and is involved from time to time in investigations or litigation of various potential environmental

14


Table of Contents

issues concerning ongoing activities at its facilities or remediation as a result of past activities. The Company from time to time receives notices from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and equivalent state environmental agencies that it is a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as the “Superfund Act”) and/or equivalent state legislation. Such notices assert potential liability for cleanup costs at various sites, which include Company-owned sites, previously owned sites, and non-Company owned treatment or disposal sites, allegedly containing hazardous substances attributable to the Company from past operations. The Company has been named as a PRP at twelve such sites, excluding sites as to which the Company’s records disclose no involvement or as to which the Company’s liability has been finally determined. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of many of these proceedings, in the opinion of management, any payments the Company may be required to make as a result of currently existing claims will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or the business of the Company as a whole.

      Additional information regarding environmental matters is set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

      No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders of Harris during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.

      On August 24, 2001, the last sale price of the Harris Common Stock as reported in the consolidated transaction reporting system was $29.80 per share.

      On August 25, 2001, the board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share, which will be paid on September 21, 2001 to holders of record on September 7, 2001. The Company has paid cash dividends every year since 1941 and currently expects that cash dividends will continue to be paid in the future; however, there can be no assurances that this will be the case. Following the spin-off of Lanier Worldwide, Inc. in November 1999, Harris reduced its annual dividend rate from $0.96 per share to its current annual level of $0.20 per share. The declaration of dividends and the amount thereof will depend on a number of factors, including Harris’ financial condition, capital requirements, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors the board of directors may deem relevant.

      On October 22, 1999, the board authorized the Company to repurchase up to 15 million shares of its Common Stock periodically in the open-market, in negotiated or block transactions or pursuant to tender offers. During fiscal year 2001, the Company repurchased approximately 3.2 million of its shares in open-market transactions. In fiscal year 2000, the Company repurchased approximately 10.7 million of its shares in open-market transactions. Harris has a remaining authorization to purchase an additional 1.7 million shares under its repurchase program.

      On August 23, 1997, the board of directors of Harris approved a two-for-one stock split to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 4, 1997. All share information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A has been restated to reflect the stock split.

ITEM  7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

      The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is useful in understanding Harris’ operating results, cash flows, and financial condition. The discussion is based on Harris’ continuing operations and should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. Except for the historical information contained here, the discussions in this document contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Harris’ actual results could differ materially from those discussed here. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed under “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Results of Operations

      On November 5, 1999, Harris completed the spin-off of its Lanier Worldwide, Inc. subsidiary as an independent, publicly owned company. Additionally, on August 13, 1999, Harris completed the sale of substantially all of its semiconductor business. As a result of these actions, the Lanier and semiconductor businesses are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Continuing operations are reported under five segments: the Government Communications segment, RF Communications segment, Microwave Communications segment, Network Support segment, and Broadcast Communications segment. For prior periods, Harris reported on a two-segment basis. To conform to the current five-segment basis, prior period segment financial information has been restated. The following discussion is on a continuing operations basis.

Fiscal 2001 Compared with Fiscal 2000

      Net revenue for fiscal 2001 was $1,955.1 million, an increase of 8.2 percent compared to the prior year. Increased revenues in the Government Communications, RF Communications, Microwave Communications, and Broadcast Communications segments were partially offset by decreased revenue in the Network Support segment. Income before income taxes in fiscal 2001 was $72.4 million versus $38.5 million for the prior year. This increase was primarily due to increased fiscal 2001 income before income taxes in the Government Communications, RF Communications and Broadcast Communications segments when compared to fiscal 2000, as well as lower fiscal 2001 losses before income taxes in the Network Support segment and higher fiscal 2001 non-operating income when compared to fiscal 2000. These income improvements were partially offset by the $73.5 million write-off of purchased in-process research and development related to the acquisition of WavTrace, Inc. in fiscal 2001, higher fiscal 2001 headquarters expense and higher fiscal 2001 goodwill amortization when compared to fiscal 2000 as well as net interest expense in fiscal 2001 versus net interest income in fiscal 2000.

(4)  Fiscal 2001 includes a $33.4 million gain from the sale of Harris’ minority interest in its GE-Harris Railway Electronics, LLC joint venture and a $20.1 million write-down of marketable securities.

      Government Communications Segment: Government Communications segment revenue in fiscal 2001 increased 4.0 percent from the prior year and income before income taxes increased 22.0 percent as Harris had outstanding technical and management performance on defense and other government contracts that resulted in favorable award fees. Backlog continued to build reflecting a continued stream of significant contract wins and increased defense spending by the federal government.

      During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, Harris concluded its acquisition of Exigent International, Inc., a provider of software and services for satellite command and control, telecommunications, and information technology.

      RF Communications Segment: The revenue from this segment increased 1.2 percent in fiscal 2001 versus record revenue levels in fiscal 2000. This business continues to benefit from the market’s enthusiasm for its Falcon II™ high data rate, multiband, secure radios that were introduced in fiscal 2000 to meet the growing bandwidth requirement in the networked digital on-the-move battlefield being embraced by military groups in both the U.S. and internationally. Income before income taxes increased from $27.3 million in fiscal 2000 to $32.5 million in fiscal 2001 as this segment experienced higher margins on its Falcon IITM product.

      Microwave Communications Segment: Revenues from this segment increased 39.0 percent during fiscal 2001 as worldwide market demand strengthened in North America and demand remained high for digital microwave radios used in cellular, PCS, and private telecom infrastructure systems. Harris is a leading provider of point-to-point microwave products and its Megastar™ and Constellation™ family of products exhibited strong customer acceptance. The segment’s results for fiscal 2001 included a $73.5 million write-off of purchased research in-process and development related to the acquisition of WavTrace. Excluding this write-off, the segment’s income before income taxes increased from $9.1 million in fiscal 2000 to $14.7 million in fiscal 2001. The increase was primarily due to the higher sales volume.

      In August 2000, Harris completed the acquisition of WavTrace, a developer of broadband wireless access (“BWA”) systems for high-speed wireless access to the Internet and other data, voice, and video services. The microwave communications business invested in BWA technology during the year on its ClearBurst™ GB product. In addition, Harris is planning further cost reduction actions in our Microwave Communications segment to improve margins and to better position the business for the expected resumption in market growth. These actions will include a facility closing and headcount reductions in several locations and will result in a one-time charge of approximately $10.0 million in fiscal 2002.

      Network Support Segment: Revenue from this segment decreased 42.3 percent in fiscal 2001 compared to fiscal 2000. The segment’s fiscal 2000 results included the impact of its exited telephone switching and alarm management product lines including a $41.0 million restructuring expense. Excluding the impact of these exited product lines, revenues for the segment decreased 11.7 percent in fiscal 2001 versus fiscal 2000 and loss before income taxes was $0.6 million in fiscal 2001 versus income before taxes of $21.3 million in fiscal 2000. The reduction of income was due to lower sales volume and margins related to the segment’s line test products. This segment was impacted by the abrupt slowdown in the domestic Digital Subscriber Lines, (“DSL”) services market. Harris has taken actions to reduce costs in the line test business and began to concentrate more on its core business of tools and test sets and network management products.

      Broadcast Communications Segment: The segment reported a 30.7 percent increase in revenues as the transition from analog to digital technology and the sale of digital television transmitters gained pace during fiscal 2001. This acceleration was boosted in part by positive rulings from the FCC affirming the mandated transition to digital technology. The Broadcast Communications segment also became a leading supplier of automation solutions in the U.S. with the help of the Louth acquisition made in fiscal 2000. The segment’s results for fiscal 2000 included a $10.7 million write-off of purchased in-process research and development related to the acquisition of Louth Automation. Excluding this write-off, the segment’s income before income taxes increased from $18.6 million in fiscal 2000 to $35.0 million in fiscal 2001. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume and higher margins from its automation and digital television products.

      Following the close of fiscal 2001, Harris acquired the Hirschmann Multimedia Communications Network business, an Austrian-based leader in European-standard digital television and radio transmitters, and digital cable systems with annual sales of approximately $26 million.

      Gross Margin: Gross margin as a percent of revenue was 26.8 percent in fiscal 2001 compared to 25.2 percent in fiscal 2000. The fiscal 2000 gross margin was impacted by a $12.0 million write-down of inventory and lower gross margins related to the Network Support segment’s telephone switching product line that was exited in fiscal 2000. Excluding the impact of this exited product line, gross margin as a percent of revenue was 26.2 percent in fiscal 2000. The increase from 26.2 percent gross margin in fiscal 2000 to 26.8 percent gross margin in fiscal 2001 is primarily due to improved gross margins in the Broadcast Communications, RF Communications, and Government Communications segments.

      Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses: Engineering, selling, and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue were 21.2 percent in fiscal 2001 versus 22.4 percent in fiscal 2000. Engineering, selling, and administrative expenses in fiscal 2000 were impacted by $16.5 million of transition costs associated with exiting the telephone switching product line and by administrative and general, marketing and sales, and research and development expenses in the telephone switching product line in the first half of fiscal 2000. Excluding the impact of the exited product line, engineering, selling, and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue were 20.6 percent in fiscal 2000. The increase from 20.6 percent in fiscal 2000 to 21.2 percent in fiscal 2001 was due primarily to increased spending in research and development related to the Microwave Communications segment’s ClearBurst™ GB microwave radio product in fiscal 2001.

      Goodwill Amortization: Goodwill amortization increased from $10.5 million in fiscal 2000 to $22.2 million in fiscal 2001. The increase was due to the WavTrace acquisition made in fiscal 2001 and the Louth and TRT Lucent Technologies acquisitions made during the second half of fiscal 2000. Intangibles resulting from acquisitions are being amortized by the straight-line method principally over 8 to 15 years. In establishing the amortization period of intangibles resulting from acquisitions Harris considered such factors as future expected cash flows, technological life spans, customer relationships, and distribution channels. Harris continues to monitor these factors and believes that no material portion of its intangibles resulting from acquisitions will dissipate over a shorter period than the amortization period being used.

      In June 2001, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“Statement 142”). Under Statement 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be

24


Table of Contents

amortized over their useful lives (but with no maximum life). Harris will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Application of the nonamortization provisions of Statement 142 is expected to result in an increase in net income of $15.6 million ($0.24 per diluted share) per year. During fiscal 2002, Harris will perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of July 1, 2001, and has not yet determined what the effect of these tests will be on Harris’ operations or financial position.

      Non-Operating Income: Non-operating income increased from $48.2 million in fiscal 2000 to $80.0 million in fiscal 2001. Non-operating income in fiscal 2001 includes a $33.4 million gain from the sale of Harris’ minority interest in its GE-Harris Railway Electronics, LLC joint venture which is partially offset by a $20.1 million write-down of marketable securities available for sale due to a decline in market value. The remaining increase in non-operating income is primarily a result of gains from the sale of shares in Intersil Holding Corporation which were acquired in August 1999 in connection with the sale of Harris’ semiconductor operations. These gains were partially offset by investments made in marketing and technology products and lower levels of royalty income in fiscal 2001 when compared to the prior year.

      Interest Income and Interest Expense: Interest income decreased from $27.4 million in fiscal 2000 to $13.3 million in fiscal 2001 due to reduced cash balances that resulted from cash paid for acquired businesses and the repurchase of Common Stock during fiscal 2000 and fiscal 2001. Interest expense increased from $25.2 million in 2000 to $34.8 million in fiscal 2001 due to an allocation of interest expense to the results of discontinued operation in fiscal 2000. Total interest expense from both continuing and discontinued operations in fiscal 2000 was $41.7 million versus $34.8 million in fiscal 2001. The decrease was largely due to a reduction of total debt from $491.0 million at June 30, 2000 to $419.4 million at June 29, 2001.

      Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax income was 70.4 percent in fiscal 2001 versus 35.0 percent in the prior year. The increase is a result of the non-deductibility of the write-off of purchased in-process research and development. Excluding the impact of the write-off of purchased in-process research and development, the provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax income was 35.0 percent in fiscal 2001. Both fiscal 2001 and 2000 benefited from tax rates on foreign source income and export sales, which offset the additional provision needed for state income taxes. Fiscal 2001 also benefited from stock sales that had a higher tax basis than the basis used in calculating gains for financial accounting purposes.

      Return on Revenue: Income from continuing operations as a percentage of revenue was 1.1 percent in fiscal 2001 versus 1.4 percent in fiscal 2000. The reduction was primarily due to the reasons previously discussed.

      Selected financial information relating to geographical regions and export sales is set forth in the Note Business Segments in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fiscal 2000 Compared with Fiscal 1999

      Revenue for fiscal 2000 was $1,807.4 million, an increase of 3.7 percent compared to the prior year. Increased revenues in the Government Communications, RF Communications, Microwave Communications, and Broadcast Communications segments were partially offset by decreased revenue in the Network Support segment. Income before income taxes in fiscal 2000 was $38.5 million versus $78.0 million for the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to fiscal 2000 losses associated with the exit of Harris telephone switching and alarm management product lines as well as higher fiscal 2000 headquarters expense, higher fiscal 2000 goodwill amortization and lower fiscal 2000 net interest income when compared to fiscal 1999. These decreases were partially offset by increased fiscal 2000 income before income taxes in the Government Communications, RF Communications, Microwave Communications and Broadcast Communications segments when compared to fiscal 1999 as well as higher fiscal 2000 non-operating income when compared to fiscal 1999.

      Government Communications Segment: Government Communications segment revenue in fiscal 2000 increased 0.3 percent from the prior year and income before income taxes increased 11.5 percent. These results were impacted by an $18.0 million write-off in fiscal 1999 for the settlement of claims and unrecoverable contract development costs on two contracts. Excluding this write-off, revenues declined 1.0 percent and income before income taxes declined 17.1 percent from fiscal 1999. Despite improved operating margins on more recent contract wins in fiscal 2000, income before income taxes has been impacted by margin pressure from poorer-performing older contracts. Revenue growth and income before income taxes improved significantly in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2000. Backlog continued to build, reflecting a robust win rate percentage and increased spending by the U.S. government for defense.

      RF Communications Segment: The RF Communications segment experienced a 17.9 percent increase in revenues in fiscal 2000 compared to fiscal 1999 as it continues to benefit from the market’s enthusiasm for its high data rate, multiband, secure radios, which were introduced in fiscal 2000 to meet the growing bandwidth requirement as the digital technology is embraced by the military. Income before income taxes increased from $21.6 million in fiscal 1999 to $27.3 million in fiscal 2000. The increase in income was primarily due to the increased sales volume.

      Microwave Communications Segment: Revenues increased 10.0 percent for this segment during fiscal 2000 when compared to fiscal 1999 as markets continued to rebound in North America, Latin America, and China. In June 2000, Harris completed the acquisition of the point-to-point microwave business of TRT Lucent Technologies. The acquisition provides for a five-year preferred supplier agreement to serve the worldwide point-to-point microwave needs of Lucent’s wireless divisions. Income before income taxes for the segment increased from $6.3 million in fiscal 1999 to $9.1 million in fiscal 2000. The increase in income was primarily due to increased sales volume and gross margins on point-to-point microwave radio products.

      In the first quarter of fiscal 2001, Harris also completed the acquisition of WavTrace, Inc., a privately-held, leading developer of broadband wireless access systems. The acquisition supports Harris’ initiative to lead the world in the delivery of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint broadband wireless access solutions for microwave and millimeter wave frequencies.

      Network Support Segment: Revenues decreased 11.2 percent for this segment during fiscal 2000 when compared to the prior year. Excluding revenues from the recently exited telephone switching and alarm management product lines, revenues increased 23.5 percent in fiscal 2000 when compared to the prior year. This increase was aided by increased demand for the telecom line test systems used by competitive local exchange carriers (CLEC’s) to deploy digital subscriber lines (DSLs) for applications such as high-speed Internet service and the other broadband communication services for voice, data, and video.

      The segment’s loss for fiscal 2000 of $67.1 million was impacted by the $41.0 million restructuring charge as well as a $12.0 million write-down of inventory related to the telephone switching and alarm management product lines that were exited. These product lines also incurred an additional $18.9 million in losses in fiscal 2000 compared to a loss of $3.6 million in fiscal 1999. The segment’s fiscal 2000 loss also includes transition costs of $16.5 million associated with exiting these product lines. Such costs included relocation of the Network Support segment’s headquarters from Marin County, California to Melbourne, Florida; collection losses on accounts receivable; and excess manufacturing costs related to idle capacity in Marin County. Harris ceased all marketing, sales, and research and development for the telephone switching and alarm management product lines as of February 2000. The losses through February 2000 included a significant amount of marketing and sales expenses as well as research and development costs in the telephone switching product line. Excluding the impact of the exited product lines, income before incomes taxes increased from $16.9 million in fiscal 1999 to $21.3 million in fiscal 2000. The increase in income was primarily due to the increased sales volume.

      Broadcast Communications Segment: The Broadcast Communications segment reported a 10.4 percent increase in revenues in fiscal 2000 compared to fiscal 1999 due primarily to its new studio automation business, which was bolstered by the purchase of Louth Automation, the leading supplier of advanced automation systems for digital television, over-the-air broadcast, and cable and industrial applications. The acquisition of Louth Automation brings competencies in automation and control to complement Harris’ leadership position in broadcast transmission and digital encoding. This acquisition further broadens Harris’ global position in the broadcast markets. The segment’s results for fiscal 2000 included a $10.7 million write-off of purchased in-process research and development related to the acquisition of Louth Automation. Also, the segment’s results for fiscal 1999 include a $20.6 million special charge for a litigation settlement. Excluding the write-off and special charge, income before income taxes was $18.6 million in fiscal 2000 versus $17.8 million in fiscal 1999. The higher income was due primarily to increased sales volume, which was partially offset by increased expenses associated with the marketing and development of the segment’s digital television products.

      Gross Margin: The gross margin as a percent of revenue was 25.2 percent in fiscal 2000 compared to 26.7 percent in fiscal 1999. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to a $12.0 million write-down of inventory and lower gross margin related to the Network Support segment’s telephone switching product line that was exited.

      Excluding the impact of this exited product line, gross margin as a percent of revenue was 26.2 percent in fiscal 2000 compared to 25.8 percent in fiscal 1999. The increase is due to improved gross margins in Harris’ Broadcast Communications, Network Support, and Microwave Communications segments.

      Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses: Engineering, selling, and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue were 22.4 percent in fiscal 2000 versus 21.8 percent in fiscal 1999. Fiscal 2000 operating expenses were impacted by $16.5 million of transition costs associated with exiting the telephone switching product line. Such costs include relocation of the Network Support segment’s headquarters from Marin County, California to Melbourne, Florida; collection losses on accounts receivable; and excess manufacturing costs related to idle capacity in Marin County. The operating expenses were also impacted by administrative and general, marketing and sales, and research and development expenses in the telephone switching product line in the first half of the fiscal year.

      Excluding the impact of the exited product line, operating expenses as a percent of revenue were 20.6 percent in fiscal 2000 versus 20.3 percent in fiscal 1999. The increase was primarily due to planned increases in selling and engineering, research and development expenses, as well as increased headquarters expenses. The increased headquarters expenses were primarily attributable to unusually low executive compensation in fiscal 1999 and costs associated with the centralization of company-wide shared services in fiscal 2000.

      Goodwill Amortization: Goodwill amortization increased from $4.3 million in fiscal 1999 to $10.5 million in fiscal 2000. The increase was due to acquisitions made in Harris’ Broadcast Communications segment during fiscal 2000, primarily the acquisition of Louth Automation.

      Non-Operating Income: Non-operating income increased from $19.3 million in fiscal 1999 to $48.2 million in fiscal 2000 due primarily to a $21.9 million gain from the sale of one million shares of Intersil Holding Corporation stock in fiscal 2000, as a part of Intersil Holding Corporation’s initial public offering. The

28


Table of Contents

remaining increase was due to gains on the sale and redemption of other securities partially offset by lower income from Harris’ equity investments.

      Interest Income and Interest Expense: Interest income increased from $13.3 million in fiscal 1999 to $27.4 million in fiscal 2000 due to higher cash balances that resulted from the sale of the semiconductor business and the spin-off of Lanier Worldwide, Inc. Interest expense increased from $9.8 million in fiscal 1999 to $25.2 million in fiscal 2000 due to a higher allocation of interest expense to the results of discontinued operations in the prior year. Total interest expense from both continuing operations and discontinued operations decreased from $84.0 million in fiscal 1999 to $41.7 million in fiscal 2000. This decrease is due to the repayment of short-term debt with the cash received from the sale of the semiconductor business and the spin-off of Lanier Worldwide, Inc., and lower interest rates.

      Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax income was 35.0 percent in fiscal 2000 versus 36.0 percent in the prior year. Both fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999 benefited from tax rates on foreign source income and export sales, which offset the additional provision needed for state income taxes.

      Return on Revenue: Income from continuing operations as a percentage of revenue was 1.4 percent in fiscal 2000 versus 2.9 percent in fiscal 1999. The reduction was primarily due to restructuring expenses, purchased in-process research and development, and the transition costs and operating losses of exited product lines which were partially offset by the gain from sales of Intersil Holding Corporation stock. Excluding these items, income from continuing operations as a percentage of revenue increased from 4.2 percent in fiscal 1999 to 4.3 percent in fiscal 2000.

      Cash and cash equivalents: Harris had several transactions that resulted in significant cash uses during fiscal 2001 including $147.6 million of cash paid for acquisitions, $83.7 million reduction in debt, and $92.2 million of cash used to repurchase Harris’ Common Stock. Harris plans to use its remaining cash balances for similar general corporate purposes in the future including marketing and technology projects, acquisitions, and repurchases of its Common Stock.

      Marketable securities: Marketable securities decreased from $432.5 million at June 30, 2000 to $146.8 million at June 29, 2001. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction of quoted market prices for Harris’ holdings in Intersil Holding Corporation and AirNet Communications Corporation as well as the sales of $127.4 million worth of marketable securities during fiscal 2001.

Table of Contents

      Credit arrangements: Harris has available syndicated credit facilities with various banks that provide for borrowings up to $400 million. The credit facilities consist of a 3-Year Credit Agreement which expires in May of 2004 and a 364-Day Credit Agreement that expires in May of 2002. Interest rates on borrowings under these facilities and related fees are determined by a pricing matrix based upon Harris’ long-term debt rating assigned by Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group and Moody’s Investors Service. Harris is not required to maintain compensating balances in connection with these agreements. Under these facilities, none was outstanding at June 29, 2001. The covenants included in these facilities include, among others, maintenance of consolidated tangible net worth of not less than $700 million (which amount is subject to increase), maintenance of a debt to earnings ratio, and a limit on total debt to $800 million.

      Working capital: Working capital decreased $311.4 million from $1,073.1 million at June 30, 2000 to $761.7 million at June 29, 2001. The change was largely due to the $275.2 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and the $285.7 million decrease in marketable securities described previously. These decreases were partially offset by an $84.8 million change in current deferred income taxes related primarily to unrealized gains on marketable securities; a $102.0 million increase in inventories and unbilled costs primarily in Harris’ Microwave Communications and Broadcast Communications segments; and a $73.4 million decrease in current liabilities due to the payment of short-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt.

      Intangibles resulting from acquisitions: Intangibles resulting from acquisitions increased from $166.2 million at June 30, 2000 to $215.1 million at June 29, 2001. Total intangibles from acquisitions in fiscal 2001 are 11.0 percent of total assets and 19.3 percent of shareholder’s equity compared to 7.1 percent of total assets and 12.1 percent of shareholder’s equity in fiscal 2000. The increase was due primarily to goodwill recorded as a result of the WavTrace and Exigent acquisitions. In determining the amount of purchase price allocated to intangibles from acquisitions, Harris has used established valuation techniques used in the communications industry, which include present value calculations of future cash flows.

      Non-current deferred income taxes: The liability for non-current deferred income taxes was $14.1 million at June 30, 2000 versus a $19.5 million asset at June 29, 2001. The change was due primarily to tax loss carryforwards resulting from the WavTrace acquisition.

      Total debt and capitalization: At June 29, 2001, debt totaled $419.4 million, representing 27.3 percent of total capital (defined as the sum of total debt plus shareholders’ equity). A year earlier, debt of $491.0 million was 26.3 percent of total capital. The increase in this ratio was due primarily to the decrease in unrealized gains on marketable securities available for sale as described previously.

      In fiscal 2001, Harris issued 137,745 shares of Common Stock to employees under the terms of Harris’ stock purchase, option, and incentive plans.

      Harris’ debt is currently rated “BBB” by Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group and “Baa2” by Moody’s Investors Service. Harris expects to maintain operating ratios, fixed charge coverage ratios, and balance sheet ratios sufficient for retention of these debt ratings.

      Purchase of Common Stock for treasury: Harris used $92.2 million to repurchase 3.2 million shares of its Common Stock in fiscal 2001. Harris’ Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program which authorizes the repurchase of up to 15 million shares through open market transactions, in negotiated block transactions or pursuant to tender offers. Harris still has a remaining authorization to repurchase an additional 1.7 million shares under this repurchase program.

      Additions of plant and equipment: Additions of plant and equipment in fiscal 2001 were $55.2 million versus $81.3 million in fiscal 2000. The decrease is due to a prior year purchase of a new headquarters building for Harris’ Broadcast Communications segment’s operation in Mason, Ohio and the buyout of a lease on a Microwave Communications segment PC board manufacturing plant in San Antonio, Texas. Total additions for Harris in fiscal 2002 are expected to be approximately $60 million.

Restructuring

      In fiscal 1999, Harris recorded a $5.1 million charge ($3.3 million after income taxes) for severance costs associated with the restructuring of its operations. Restructuring actions included a work force reduction of approximately 606 employees. All of these employees were terminated by June 30, 2000.

      In fiscal 2000, Harris recorded a $41.0 million charge ($26.7 million after income tax) for the restructuring of its operations. Restructuring actions included a reduction of approximately 161 employees and provisions for the write-down of intangible assets, equipment and other assets associated with the exit from the Network Support segment’s telephone switching and alarm management product lines.

      In the third quarter of fiscal 2000, 161 switching business employees were notified that their employment would be terminated and what their specific severance benefit would be. These employees worked in the marketing, sales, manufacturing, and administrative areas and were primarily located in Marin County, California. As of September 29, 2000, the employment of all 161 employees had been terminated.

      In June 2000, Harris sold the core switch business to Teltronics, Inc. and in August 2000, Harris sold the alarm management product line. Harris also sold the international activities of these product lines during fiscal 2001. Estimated discounted cash flows were used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities in recording the restructuring charge.

      Harris completed the payment of all severance benefits during the second quarter of fiscal 2001. No further cash outlays from these restructuring actions are expected.

      Sales from these product lines were none in fiscal 2001, $73.5 million in fiscal 2000, and $126.6 million in fiscal 1999. The loss before income taxes from these product lines were none in fiscal 2001, $18.9 million in fiscal 2000, and $3.6 million in fiscal 1999.

Purchased In-Process Research and Development

  WavTrace

      In August 2000, Harris purchased WavTrace, a developer of broadband microwave radio systems for high-speed wireless access to the Internet and other data, voice, and video services. Prior to the acquisition, Harris owned slightly less than 20 percent of WavTrace. The purchase price for the remaining approximately 80 percent is valued at $144.0 million. The purchase price is calculated as follows:

      This business is being operated within Harris’ Microwave Communications segment.

      In connection with the acquisition, Harris allocated $73.5 million of the purchase price to an in-process research and development project. This allocation represents the estimated fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to the incomplete products. At the date of acquisition, the development of this project had not yet reached technological feasibility and the in-process research and development had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, these costs were expensed as a one-time charge to earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2001.

      In making the purchase price allocation to in-process research and development, Harris relied on present value calculations of income, an analysis of project accomplishments and completion costs, and an assessment of overall contribution and project risk. The amounts assigned to the in-process research and development were associated with one significant research project for which technological feasibility had not been

established. This project was for the development of the ClearBurst™ GB product (formerly known as the PM 2000).

      ClearBurst™ GB is a point-to-multipoint microwave radio system that is a wireless broadband option to deliver the Internet and other multimedia services at speeds up to 180 MBPS per user. The ClearBurst™ GB with BigBurst airlink will use adaptive time division duplexing (TDD), which is expected to allow for 100% efficient use of the available spectrum. ClearBurst™ GB will also use dynamic asymmetry to adjust for the different data traffic levels of small and large customers. The technology allocates bandwidth between the uplink and downlink of a frequency channel to accommodate data traffic. As a result, adaptive TDD is expected to provide greater efficiency than predecessor technologies and support 15 times more customers than current technologies. The estimated stage of completion of the ClearBurst™ GB project at the time of the acquisition was 80% (considering time-based, cost-based, and milestone-based completion measures). ClearBurst™ GB does not have any significant leverage on any existing technology developed outside of this project.

      The value assigned to purchased in-process research and development was determined by estimating the costs to develop the purchased in-process research and development into commercially viable products and discounting the net cash flows to their present value using a discount rate of 35 percent.

      Remaining development efforts for this in-process research and development project include various phases of design, development, and testing. The anticipated completion date for the in-process research and development project will occur during fiscal 2003, after which Harris expects to begin generating economic benefits from the technology over a seven-year life cycle. Expenditures to complete this project are not expected to have a material impact on the Harris’ future results of operations or cash flows.

      These estimates are subject to change, given the uncertainties of the development process, and no assurance can be given that deviations from these estimates will not occur. We expect to continue these development efforts and believe we have a reasonable chance of successfully completing the research and development programs. However, there is a risk associated with the completion of the project and there is no assurance that the project will attain either technological or commercial success.

  Louth Automation

      In January 2000, Harris purchased Louth Automation, a leading supplier of advanced automation systems for radio and television broadcasters. Harris paid cash in the net amount of approximately $90 million. The final determination of the purchase price is subject to adjustment.

      In connection with the acquisition, Harris allocated $10.7 million of the purchase price to in-process research and development projects. This allocation represents the estimated fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to the incomplete products. At the date of acquisition, the development of these projects had not yet reached technological feasibility and the in-process research and development had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, these costs were expensed as a one-time charge to earnings in the third quarter of fiscal 2000.

      This business is being operated within Harris’ Broadcast Communications segment.

      In making the purchase price allocation to in-process research and development, Harris relied on present value calculations of income, an analysis of project accomplishments and completion costs, and an assessment of overall contribution and project risk.

      A discussion of the most significant project follows:

      Version 9.5 of the Automated Device Controller (“ADC”) Software:

  •  Base ADC product is an all-purpose program/commercial automation system with the ability to integrate a wide variety of broadcast devices.
 
  •  Version 9.5 provides a link between traffic, engineering, and on-air broadcasting operations.
 
  •  The primary functions under development include:

  •  The implementation of Network Device Control Protocall and control of hardware and video servers across the network;
 
  •  The ability to use TCP/ IP and other remote configurations;
 
  •  Creation of a driver that will function with proprietary Sony Protocall;
 
  •  Other specific functionality such as Spencer Still Store and DUET; and
 
  •  Creation of video disk enhancements.

  •  The development of Version 9.5 was initiated in early calendar 1998 (conceptualization of features, etc.).
 
  •  The amount of completion was estimated at 80% (considering time-based, cost-based, and milestone-based completion measures).
 
  •  Version 9.5 incorporates significant leverage on existing technology from ADC version 9.4. The degree of leverage was estimated to be 50%.

      The value assigned to purchased in-process research and development was determined by estimating the costs to develop the purchased in-process research and development into commercially viable products and discounting the net cash flows to their present value using a discount rate of 28 percent.

      Remaining development efforts for these in-process research and development projects included various phases of design, development, and testing. The completion of the in-process research and development projects occurred within twelve months of acquisition. Harris is currently generating economic benefits from the technologies and expects to generate them over a seven-year life cycle. Expenditures to complete these projects did not have a material impact on the Harris’ results of operations or cash flows.

Retirement Plans

      Retirement benefits for substantially all of Harris’ employees are provided primarily through a retirement plan having profit sharing and savings elements. Harris also provides limited health-care benefits to retirees who have 10 or more years of service. All obligations under Harris’ retirement plans have been fully funded by Harris’ contributions, the provision for which totaled $30.9 million in fiscal 2001.

Impact of Foreign Exchange

      Approximately 50 percent of Harris’ international business is transacted in local currency environments. The impact of translating the assets and liabilities of these operations to U.S. dollars is included as a component of shareholders’ equity. At June 29, 2001, the cumulative translation adjustment reduced shareholders’ equity by $28.5 million compared to a reduction of $16.5 million at June 30, 2000.

      Harris utilizes foreign currency hedging instruments to minimize the currency risk of international transactions. Gains and losses resulting from currency rate fluctuations did not have a material effect on Harris’ results in fiscal 2001, 2000, or 1999.

Impact of Inflation

      To the extent feasible, Harris has consistently followed the practice of adjusting its prices to reflect the impact of inflation on salaries and fringe benefits for employees and the cost of purchased materials and services.

Market Risk Management

      Harris, in the normal course of doing business, is exposed to the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates, fluctuations in the market value of its equity securities available for sale, and changes in interest rates. Harris employs established policies and procedures governing the use of financial instruments to manage its exposure to such risks.

      Harris uses foreign exchange contracts and options to hedge both balance sheet and off-balance sheet 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. Management believes the use of foreign currency financial instruments should reduce the risks which arise from doing business in international markets. Contracts are generally for one year or less. At June 29, 2001, Harris had open foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of $43.0 million, of which $6.3 million were classified as cash flow hedges and $36.7 million were classified as fair value hedges. This compares to total foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of $20.1 million as of June 30, 2000, of which $4.0 million were classified as cash flow hedges and $16.1 million were classified as fair value hedges.

      More specifically, the foreign exchange contracts classified as cash flow hedges as of June 29, 2001 are primarily being used to hedge the following two currency exposures: (1) Harris had two long-term contracts in the Government Communications segment with customers in Great Britain. The customer pays in Pounds Sterling (“GBP”) and Harris will have payments to local suppliers that are also in GBP. Harris hedged the forecasted sales and vendor payments denominated in GBP to maintain its anticipated profit margins in U.S. dollars, and (2) Harris sells microwave radio products and services to certain international customers that pay in Euros for sales in Europe, Africa and Asia. Harris also purchases microwave radio products for resale in Europe. Harris pays the vendor of these products in Euros. Harris has hedged the anticipated sales and anticipated vendor payments that will be denominated in Euros to maintain its anticipated profit margins in U.S. dollars. As of June 29, 2001, Harris estimated that a total $0.2 million pretax gain would be reclassified into earnings from comprehensive income within the next twelve months related to these transactions. The net gain or loss included in Harris’ earnings in fiscal 2001 representing the amount of fair value and cash flow hedges’ ineffectiveness was not material. No amounts were recognized in Harris’ earnings for fiscal 2001 related to the component of the derivatives instruments’ gain or loss excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. In addition, no amounts were recognized in Harris’ earnings for fiscal 2001 related to hedged firm commitments that no longer qualify as fair value hedges. No material reclassification of gains and losses into earnings from comprehensive income is expected to result from transactions or events related to commitments to customers or suppliers within the next twelve months. All of these derivatives were recorded at their fair value on the balance sheet as of June 29, 2001 in accordance with FAS 133.

      Factors that could impact the effectiveness of Harris’ hedging programs include accuracy of sales estimates, volatility of currency markets and the cost and availability of hedging instruments. A 10 percent

34


Table of Contents

adverse change in currency exchange rates for Harris’ foreign currency derivatives held at June 29, 2001 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 Harris’ foreign denominated assets, liabilities, and firm commitments.

      Harris also maintains a portfolio of marketable equity securities available for sale. These investments result from the retained interest in sold or spun-off businesses and the investment into start-up companies that have technology or products that are of interest to Harris. The fair market value of these securities at June 29, 2001, was $146.8 million, compared to $432.5 million at June 30, 2000. This decrease was primarily due to the sale of some of these investments in fiscal 2001 and a decrease in these securities’ quoted market prices. The corresponding unrealized gain is included as a component of shareholders’ equity. These investments have historically had higher volatility than most market indices. A 10 percent adverse change in the quoted market price of marketable equity securities would have an impact of approximately $14.7 million on the fair market value of these securities.

      Harris utilizes option contracts in the form of cashless collars to hedge anticipated cash flows from the sale of marketable securities. Contracts are generally for one year or less. At June 29, 2001, Harris had open option contracts for 850,000 shares of Intersil Holding Corporation stock at a weighted average strike price of $32.35, which were classified as cash flow hedges. All of these derivatives were recorded at their fair value on the balance sheet as of June 29, 2001 in accordance with FAS 133. Factors that could impact the effectiveness of Harris’ hedging programs include accuracy of cash flow estimates, volatility of security markets, and the cost and availability of hedging instruments. A 10 percent adverse change in quoted market price of marketable equity securities would have an impact of approximately $3 million on the fair value of such instruments.

      Harris utilizes a balanced mix of debt maturities along with both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. Harris does not expect changes in interest rates to have a material effect on income or cash flows in fiscal 2002, although there can be no assurances that interest rates will not significantly change.

Environmental Matters

      Harris is actively engaged in complying with environmental protection laws. In addition to ongoing internal compliance programs, an estimated $0.1 million was spent on environmental capital projects in fiscal 2001 and 2000. Harris estimates that it will authorize $0.1 million in 2002 for environmental-related capital projects. Under the Superfund Act or similar state environmental laws, Harris also has potential liability at various waste sites designated for clean-up. Harris is named as a potentially responsible party at twelve such sites where future liabilities could exist. These sites include two Harris-owned sites, five sites associated with former Harris locations, and five non-Harris owned treatment or disposal sites, allegedly containing hazardous substances attributable to Harris from past operations. Harris routinely assesses its contingencies, obligations, and commitments to clean up and monitor sites in light of in-depth studies, analysis by environmental experts, and legal reviews. At the two Harris owned-sites and four sites associated with former Harris locations, Harris is involved primarily in monitoring and remediation programs that have been implemented in cooperation with various environmental agencies. At the other sites, Harris is involved as one of numerous potentially responsible parties (PRPs). In ascertaining environmental exposures, management must assess the extent of contamination, the nature of remedial actions, continually evolving governmental standards, and the number, participation level, and financial viability of other PRPs and other similar variables. Based upon internal and third-party studies, as well as the remediation and monitoring expense history at the two Harris-owned sites and five sites associated with former Harris locations, the number and solvency of PRPs at the other sites and an assessment of other relevant factors, Harris has estimated that its discounted liability under the Superfund Act and other environmental statutes and regulations for identified sites, using a 7.5 percent discount rate, is approximately $5.9 million. Harris has accrued these discounted liabilities. The expected aggregate undiscounted amount that will be incurred over the next 20 to 25 years (depending on the number of years for each site) is approximately $9.9 million. The expected payments for the next five years are: 2002 — $0.9 million;

35


Table of Contents

2003 — $1.0 million; 2004 — $1.3 million; 2005 — $0.4 million; 2006 — $0.4 million; and the aggregate amount thereafter is approximately $5.9 million.

Outlook

      Harris is encouraged by its performance during difficult market conditions for many technology and communication companies. Harris has leadership positions in broadcast, microwave, and tactical radio systems that have allowed Harris to outperform many peer companies in the commercial market, and Harris has a growing government business that provides good market balance. The repositioning actions and strategies implemented over the past two years have helped Harris grow profitably under difficult market conditions and are expected to further drive operating leverage when economic conditions improve. In addition, we are planning further cost reduction actions in our Microwave Communications segment to improve margins and to better position the business for the expected resumption in market growth.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Harris Directors and Shareholders:

      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Harris Corporation and its subsidiaries as of June 29, 2001 and June 30, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows, and comprehensive income and shareholders’ equity for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended June 29, 2001. Our audits also include the financial statement schedule listed in the index Item 14(a). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of GE-Harris Railway Electronics, LLC and subsidiaries (a company in which the Corporation had a 49% interest) have been audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us; insofar as our opinion on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 2, 1999, relates to data included for GE-Harris Railway Electronics, LLC and subsidiaries, it is based solely on their report.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Harris Corporation and subsidiaries at June 29, 2001 and June 30, 2000, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended June 29, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statement taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth herein.

      As discussed in the footnote “BUSINESS SEGMENTS — Restated” to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its segment information.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harris Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Harris”). These statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and require management to make estimates and assumptions. These assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

      Fiscal Year — Harris’ fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest June 30. Fiscal Years 2001, 2000, and 1999 include 52 weeks.

      Cash Equivalents — Cash equivalents are temporary cash investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. These investments include accrued interest and are carried at the lower of cost or market.

      Marketable Securities — Marketable equity securities are stated at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses from marketable securities are determined using the specific identification method. The cost basis of marketable securities was $40.3 million at June 29, 2001, and $63.5 million at June 30, 2000. The proceeds from the sale of marketable securities were $127.4 million in fiscal 2001, $52.6 million in fiscal 2000, and $9.9 million in fiscal 1999. The amount of realized gains included in “Non-operating income” was $82.4 million in fiscal 2001, $49.6 million in fiscal 2000, and $9.6 million in fiscal 1999. Included in these realized gains were write-downs for other than temporary decreases in the market value of $20.1 million in fiscal 2001.

      Inventories — Inventories are priced at the lower of cost (determined by average and first-in, first-out methods) or market.

      Plant and Equipment — Plant and equipment are carried on the basis of cost. Depreciation of buildings, machinery and equipment is computed by the straight-line and accelerated methods. The estimated useful lives of buildings range between 5 and 50 years. The estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment range between 3 and 10 years.

      Intangibles — Intangibles resulting from acquisitions are being amortized by the straight-line method principally over 8 to 15 years. Recoverability of intangibles is assessed using estimated undiscounted cash flows of related operations. Intangibles that are not expected to be recovered through future undiscounted cash flows are charged to expense when identified. Amounts charged to expense are amounts in excess of the fair value of the intangible asset. Fair value is determined as the present value of estimated expected future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved.

      Income Taxes — Harris follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes.

      Revenue Recognition — Harris’ segments have the following revenue recognition policies:

      Government Communications segment: Revenue in the Government Communications segment primarily relates to long-term contracts. Revenue and anticipated profits under long-term contracts are recorded on a percentage-of-completion basis, generally using the cost-to-cost method of accounting where sales and profits are recorded based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total costs at completion. Contracts are combined when specific aggregation criteria are met. Criteria generally includes closely interrelated activities performed for a single customer within the same economic environment. Contracts generally are not segmented as defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Long-Term Contracts.”

      Amounts representing contract change orders, claims or other items are included in sales only when they can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. Incentives or penalties and awards applicable to performance on contracts are considered in estimating sales and profit rates, and are recorded when there is sufficient information to assess anticipated contract performance. Incentive provisions, which increase or decrease earnings based solely on a single significant event, are generally not recognized until the event occurs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

When adjustments in contract value or estimated costs are determined, any changes from prior estimates are reflected in earnings in the current period. Anticipated losses on contracts or programs in progress are charged to earnings when identified.

      RF Communications segment: Revenue in the RF Communications segment primarily relates to product sales. Revenue is recognized from sales other than long-term contracts when a product is delivered and from services when performed. Unearned income on service contracts is amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the contracts. This segment recognizes revenue when contractual obligations related to customer acceptance of a product or performance are satisfied.

      Microwave Communications segment: Revenue in the Microwave Communications segment primarily relates to product and services sales. Revenue is recognized from sales other than long-term contracts when a product is delivered, from rentals as they accrue and from services when performed. Unearned income on service contracts is amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the contracts. This segment recognizes revenue when contractual obligations related to customer acceptance of a product or performance are satisfied. Further, if an arrangement other than long-term contracts requires the delivery or performance of multiple deliverables, or “elements,” the delivery of an individual element is considered not to have occurred if there are undelivered elements that are essential to the functionality of the delivered element.

      Network Support segment: Revenue in the Network Support segment primarily relates to product and services sales. Revenue is recognized from sales when a product is delivered and from services when performed. Unearned income on service contracts is amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the contracts. This segment recognizes revenue when contractual obligations related to customer acceptance of a product or performance are satisfied. Further, if an arrangement other than long-term contracts requires the delivery or performance of multiple deliverables, or “elements,” the delivery of an individual element is considered not to have occurred if there are undelivered elements that are essential to the functionality of the delivered element.

      Broadcast Communications segment: Revenue in the Broadcast Communications segment primarily relates to product and services sales. Revenue is recognized from sales other than long-term contracts when a product is delivered and from services when performed. Unearned income on service contracts is amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the contracts. This segment recognizes revenue when contractual obligations related to customer acceptance of a product or performance are satisfied. Further, if an arrangement other than long-term contracts requires the delivery or performance of multiple deliverables, or “elements,” the delivery of an individual element is considered not to have occurred if there are undelivered elements that are essential to the functionality of the delivered element.

      Other: Royalty income is included as a component of “Non-operating income” on the consolidated statement of income and is recognized on the basis of terms specified in contractual agreements.

      Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are classified on the consolidated statement of income as “Revenue from product sales and services” and the associated costs are classified in “Cost of product sales and services.”

      Retirement Benefits — Harris and its subsidiaries provide retirement benefits to substantially all employees primarily through a retirement plan having profit-sharing and savings elements. Contributions by Harris to the retirement plan are based on profits and employees’ savings with no other funding requirements. Harris may make additional contributions to the fund at its discretion.

      Retirement benefits also include an unfunded limited healthcare plan for U.S. based retirees and employees on long-term disability. Harris accrues the estimated cost of these medical benefits, which are not material, during an employee’s active service life.

      Environmental Expenditures — Harris capitalizes environmental expenditures that increase the life or efficiency of property or that reduce or prevent environmental contamination. Harris accrues environmental expenses resulting from existing conditions that relate to past operations when the costs are probable and reasonably estimable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      Harris is named as a potentially responsible party at twelve sites where future liabilities could exist. These sites include two Harris-owned sites, five sites associated with former Harris locations, and five non-Harris owned treatment or disposal sites, allegedly containing hazardous substances attributable to Harris from past operations. Based on an assessment of relevant factors, Harris has estimated that its discounted liability under the Superfund Act and other environmental statutes and regulations for identified sites, using a 7.5 percent discount rate, is approximately $5.9 million. This liability is accrued in the June 29, 2001 consolidated balance sheet. The expected aggregate undiscounted amount that will be incurred over the next 20 to 25 years (depending on the number of years for each site) is approximately $9.9 million. The expected payments for the next five years are: 2002 — $0.9 million; 2003 — $1.0 million; 2004 — $1.3 million; 2005 — $0.4 million; 2006 — $0.4 million; and the aggregate amount thereafter is approximately $5.9 million.

      Financial Instruments and Risk Management — As part of Harris’ risk management program, Harris uses a combination of foreign currency call options, foreign currency forward contracts, and option contracts in the form of cashless collars for marketable securities to hedge against risks associated with anticipated cash flows that are probable of occurring in the future and cash flows that are fixed or firmly committed over the next twelve months. These derivatives have only nominal intrinsic value at the time of purchase. Harris does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

      Harris accounts for its instruments used to hedge against the currency risk and market fluctuation risk associated with anticipated or forecasted cash flows that are probable of occurring in the future as cash flow hedges. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 “— Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“Statement 133”), such financial instruments are marked-to-market using forward prices and fair market value quotes with the offset to other comprehensive income, net of hedge ineffectiveness. The foreign currency call options and forward contracts are subsequently recognized as a component of “Cost of product sales and services” on the consolidated statement of income when the underlying net cash flows are realized. The cashless collars for marketable securities are subsequently recognized as a component of “Non-operating income” on the consolidated statement of income when the underlying net cash flows are realized. Unrealized losses are recorded in “Other accrued items” on the consolidated balance sheet with the offset to other comprehensive income, net of hedge ineffectiveness. Unrealized gains are recorded as “Other assets” on the consolidated balance sheet with the offset to other comprehensive income, net of hedge ineffectiveness.

      Harris is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to these financial instruments, but it does not expect any of the counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. To manage credit risks, Harris selects counterparties based on credit ratings, limits its exposure to a single counterparty under defined guidelines, and monitors the market position with each counterparty. In the event of the termination of a derivative designated as a hedge, the settlement would be charged to the consolidated income statement as a component of “Non-operating income.”

      Foreign Currency Translation — The functional currency for most international subsidiaries is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at current rates of exchange, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

      Unearned Compensation — Compensation resulting from performance shares granted under Harris’ long-term incentive plan is amortized to expense over the performance period and is adjusted for changes in the market value of Harris’ Common Stock.

      Net Income Per Share — Net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year.

      Reclassifications — Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified on the financial statements to conform with current year classifications.

      Stock Options — In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Harris uses the intrinsic-value method of accounting for stock options and incentive stock awards granted to employees and, accordingly, does not recognize compensation expense for its stock options and incentive stock awards to employees in the

ACCOUNTING CHANGES

      Effective July 1, 2000, Harris adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 — “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. Statement 133 requires Harris to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are either offset against the change in fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The adoption of Statement 133 on July 1, 2000 did not have a material impact on results of operations but resulted in the cumulative effect of an accounting change of $0.2 million after tax being recognized as income in other comprehensive income. This comprehensive income was recognized on the consolidated statement of income during fiscal 2001.

      In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (“SAB 101”), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB 101 summarizes the SEC’s views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. In September 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), issued EITF 00-10 “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs.” EITF 00-10 states that all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction related to shipping and handling, if any, represent revenues earned for the goods provided and should be classified as revenue. Harris adopted both SAB 101 and EITF 00-10 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 with no material effect on Harris’ operations or financial position.

      In April 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued FASB Interpretation No. 44 (“FIN No. 44”), “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25.” Among other issues, this interpretation clarifies the definition of employees for purposes of applying Opinion No. 25, the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a non-compensatory plan, the accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. Harris adopted FIN No. 44 as of July 1, 2000. The adoption did not have a material effect on Harris’ operations or financial position.

      In June 2001, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“Statement 141”), and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“Statement 142”). These Statements significantly change the accounting for business combinations, goodwill, and intangible assets. Statement 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations and further clarifies the criteria to recognize intangible assets separately from goodwill. The requirements of Statement 141 are effective for any business combination accounted for by the purchase method that is completed after June 30, 2001. Under Statement 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives (but with no maximum life). The amortization provisions of Statement 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, companies are required to adopt Statement 142 in their fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2001 (i.e., fiscal 2003 for Harris). Early adoption is permitted for companies with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001, provided that their first quarter financial statements have not been issued.

      Harris will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Application of the nonamortization provisions of Statement 142 is expected to result in an increase in net income of $15.6 million ($0.24 per diluted share) per year. During fiscal 2002, Harris will perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets

as of July 1, 2001, and has not yet determined what the effect of these tests will be on Harris’ operations or financial position.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

      In fiscal 1999, Harris decided to sell its semiconductor business and spin off its Lanier Worldwide, Inc. subsidiary. Accordingly, the results of operations and the net assets of these business segments have been reclassified as discontinued operations.

      On August 13, 1999, Harris completed the sale of substantially all of its semiconductor business to Intersil Corporation and its affiliates. Intersil Corporation was a newly formed company owned by Sterling Holding Company, LLC, a Citicorp Venture Capital Ltd. investment portfolio company, along with certain management investors, and affiliates of Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation.

      The assets disposed of consisted primarily of land, buildings, equipment, inventory, receivables, technology, and other assets related to the operation of the semiconductor business.

      In addition to acquiring a 10 percent equity interest in Intersil Holding Corporation for which Harris paid $9 million, Harris received cash of $520 million, a promissory note of $90 million and Intersil Corporation assumed certain liabilities. Harris also retained receivables and patent rights. Harris recorded an after-tax loss of $76 million for the disposal of its entire semiconductor business including the portion sold to Intersil Corporation. Intersil Holding Corporation undertook an initial public offering (IPO) in February of 2000. At that time, the promissory note mentioned above was paid as was the accrued interest. Harris has sold portions of its holdings in Intersil.

      On October 22, 1999, Harris announced that its Board of Directors formally approved the spin-off of its Lanier Worldwide, Inc. subsidiary as an independent publicly traded company. The Board declared a dividend of one share of Lanier common stock for each share of Harris Common Stock to Harris shareholders of record on November 1, 1999. The distribution of the dividend was completed on November 5, 1999. Harris retained approximately 10 percent of the outstanding shares of Lanier all of which shares were sold in fiscal 2001.

      Summarized financial information for the discontinued operations follows:

Discontinued operations net of income taxes
  $ (7.0 )   $ 12.4  
     
     
 

      The income from discontinued operations includes an allocation of interest expense of $16.5 million in fiscal 2000 and $74.1 million in fiscal 1999. This allocation is based on the assigned debt balances of the discontinued operations.

RESTRUCTURING

      In fiscal 1999, Harris recorded a $5.1 million charge ($3.3 million after income taxes) for severance costs associated with the restructuring of its operations. Restructuring actions included a work force reduction of approximately 606 employees. All of these employees were terminated by June 30, 2000.

      In fiscal 2000, Harris recorded a $41.0 million charge ($26.7 million after income tax) for the restructuring of its operations. Restructuring actions included a reduction of approximately 161 employees and provisions for the write-down of intangible assets, equipment and other assets associated with the exit from the Network Support segment’s telephone switching and alarm management product lines.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      In the third quarter of fiscal 2000, 161 switching business employees were notified that their employment would be terminated and what their specific severance benefit would be. These employees worked in the marketing, sales, manufacturing, and administrative areas and were primarily located in Marin County, California. As of September 29, 2000, the employment of all 161 employees had been terminated.

      In June of 2000, Harris sold the core switch business to Teltronics, Inc. and in August of 2000, Harris sold the alarm management product line. Harris also sold the international activities of these product lines during fiscal 2001. Estimated discounted cash flows were used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities in recording the restructuring charge.

      Harris completed the payment of all severance benefits during the second quarter of fiscal 2001. No further cash outlays from these restructuring actions are expected.

      Sales from these product lines were none in fiscal 2001, $73.5 million in fiscal 2000, and $126.6 million in fiscal 1999. The loss before income taxes from these product lines were none in fiscal 2001, $18.9 million in fiscal 2000, and $3.6 million in fiscal 1999.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

      In August 2000, Harris purchased WavTrace, Inc. (“WavTrace”), a developer of broadband wireless access systems for high speed wireless access to the Internet and other data, voice, and video services. This acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of WavTrace have been included in Harris’ consolidated income statement since the date of acquisition. Prior to the acquisition, Harris owned slightly less than 20 percent of WavTrace. The purchase price for the remaining approximately 80 percent is valued at $144.0 million. The purchase price is calculated as follows:

      WavTrace is being operated within the Microwave Communications segment.

      The amount of consideration to the former shareholders and option holders of WavTrace was determined by arm’s-length negotiation between the parties and was paid out of interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents. The amount allocated to purchased in-process research and development on the WavTrace acquisition was $73.5 million. The purchased in-process research and development expenses were determined

through established valuation techniques in the technology communications industry and were expensed upon acquisition because technological feasibility had not been established and no future alternative uses existed. Research and development costs to bring the products from the acquired company to technological feasibility are not expected to have a material impact on the Harris’ future results of operations or cash flows. The WavTrace acquisition resulted in goodwill of $49.6 million and other intangible assets of $1.3 million. These items are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods between four and eight years.

      In May 2001, Harris purchased Exigent International, Inc. (“Exigent”), a software and service provider for satellite command and control, telecommunications, and information technology, primarily for government markets. This acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of Exigent have been included in Harris’ consolidated income statement since the date of acquisition. The purchase price of Exigent was $34.7 million, which is calculated as follows:

      Exigent is being operated within the Government Communications segment.

      The amount of consideration to the former shareholders and option holders of Exigent was determined by arm’s-length negotiation between the parties and was paid out of interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents. The Exigent acquisition resulted in goodwill of $18.1 million and other intangible assets of $2.9 million. These items are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods between five and fifteen years. The final determination and allocation of the purchase price and goodwill has not been completed and the amounts are subject to change. Harris expects to finalize this allocation during the next six months.

      The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, combines the consolidated results of operations as if WavTrace and Exigent had been acquired as of the beginning of the periods presented, after including the impact of adjustments such as: amortization of intangibles, decreased interest income from the use of cash and cash equivalents, compensation expense from converted options, and the related income tax effects.

      The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been in effect for the entire periods presented. In addition, the pro forma results are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect any synergies that might be achieved from combined operations.

      In January 2000, Harris purchased Louth Automation, a leading supplier of advanced automation systems for radio and television broadcasters. Also, on June 30, 2000, Harris purchased the assets of TRT Lucent Technologies’ point-to-point microwave radio business. These acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of these acquired entities have been included in Harris’ consolidated statement of income since the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of these acquisitions was not material. Harris paid cash in the net amount of approximately $90 million for Louth Automation and $23 million for TRT Lucent Technologies’ point-to-point microwave radio business. The final determination of the Louth Automation purchase price is subject to adjustment. The amount allocated to purchased in-process research and development on the Louth Automation acquisition was $10.7 million. The purchased in-process research and development expenses were determined through established valuation techniques in the technology communi-

cations industry and were expensed upon acquisition because technological feasibility had not been established and no future alternative uses existed. Research and development costs to bring the products from the acquired company to technological feasibility are not expected to have a material impact on Harris’ future results of operations or cash flows. The goodwill and purchased intangible assets in the Louth Automation and the TRT Lucent Technologies’ point-to-point microwave radio business acquisitions are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods between 5 and 16 years. Louth is being operated within the Broadcast Communications segment and TRT Lucent Technologies’ point-to-point microwave radio business is being operated within the Microwave Communications segment.

EXTRAORDINARY LOSS

      In June 1999, Harris retired $150.0 million of 10 3/8% debentures due in 2018 and $96.0 million of notes payable to insurance companies due from 1999 to 2001. Debt retirement resulted in an extraordinary loss of $9.2 million ($.12 per share), net of related income taxes of $4.7 million.

JOINT VENTURES

      Harris has investments in joint ventures (less than 50% owned), which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Condensed balance sheets as of June 29, 2001 and June 30, 2000, and condensed statements of income for fiscal years 2001, 2000, and 1999 for these joint ventures follows. Harris has adjustments to income related to these investments that are not pushed down to these condensed financial statements. The amount of income (loss) before taxes included in “Non-operating income” related to these joint ventures is $(9.5) million in fiscal 2001, $(7.5) million in fiscal 2000, and $7.5 million in fiscal 1999. In June of 2001 Harris sold its minority interest in the GE-Harris Railway Electronics, LLC joint venture for $50.0 million cash, which resulted in a pretax gain of $33.4 million.

INTANGIBLES

      Accumulated amortization of intangible assets was $52.3 million at June 29, 2001 and $52.1 million at June 30, 2000.

CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

      Harris has available syndicated credit facilities with various banks that provide for borrowings up to $400 million. The credit facilities consist of a 3-Year Credit Agreement, which expires in May of 2004, and a 364-Day Credit Agreement that expires in May of 2002. Interest rates on borrowings under these facilities and related fees are determined by a pricing matrix based upon Harris’ long-term debt rating assigned by Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group and Moody’s Investors Service. Harris is not required to maintain compensating balances in connection with these agreements. Under these facilities, none was outstanding at June 29, 2001. The covenants included in these facilities include, among others, maintenance of consolidated tangible net worth of not less than $700 million (which amount is subject to increase), maintenance of a debt to earnings ratio, and a limit on total debt to $800 million.

      Harris also has lines of credit for short-term financing aggregating $78.4 million from various U.S. and foreign banks, of which $45.2 million was available on June 29, 2001. These arrangements provide for

borrowing at various interest rates, are reviewed annually for renewal, and may be used on such terms as Harris and the banks mutually agree. These lines do not require compensating balances.

SHORT-TERM DEBT

      Short-term debt of $33.2 million at June 29, 2001 and $75.6 million at June 30, 2000 is entirely made up of notes payable to banks in both years. Bank notes with Brazilian banks amounted to $10.0 million at June 29, 2001 with a weighted-average interest rate of 18.9 percent, and $26.0 million at June 30, 2000 with a weighted-average interest rate of 18.1 percent. The weighted-average interest rate for bank notes other than those with Brazilian banks was 4.9 percent at June 29, 2001 and 6.4 percent at June 30, 2000.

LONG-TERM DEBT

      Long-term debt includes the following:

      The weighted-average interest rate for notes payable to banks was 6.6 percent at June 29, 2001 and 6.4 percent at June 30, 2000. Maturities of long-term debt for the five years following fiscal 2001 are: $1.8 million in fiscal 2002, $32.4 million in fiscal 2003, $1.1 million in fiscal 2004, $0.5 million in fiscal 2005, and $0.1 million in fiscal 2006.

      In Fiscal 2002, Harris expects to refinance the 6.65% debentures, which are due 2006. The expected refinancing results from the debenture holders’ call option and is not expected to have a material impact on Harris’ results of operations. It is management’s intent to maintain this debt for longer than one year. Thus, this amount has not been classified in current liabilities and remains in long-term debt on the balance sheet.

PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS

      On December 6, 1996, Harris declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of Common Stock. These rights, which expire on December 6, 2006, are evidenced by Common Stock share certificates and trade with the Common Stock until they become exercisable and entitle the holder to purchase one two-hundredth of a share of Participating Preferred Stock for $125, subject to adjustment. The rights are not exercisable until the earlier of 10 business days (or such later date fixed by the Board) after a party commences a tender or exchange offer to acquire a beneficial interest of at least 15% of Harris’ outstanding Common Stock, or the first date of public announcement by Harris that a person has acquired a beneficial interest of at least 15% of Harris’ outstanding Common Stock, or such later date fixed by the Board of Directors of Harris.

      Upon the first date of public announcement by Harris that a person has acquired a beneficial interest of at least 15% of the Harris’ outstanding Common Stock, or such later date fixed by the Board of Directors of Harris, each right (other than rights beneficially owned by an acquiring person or any affiliate or associate thereof) would entitle the holder to purchase shares of Common Stock of Harris having a market value equal to twice the exercise price of the right. In addition, each right (other than rights beneficially owned by an acquiring person or any affiliate or associate thereof) would entitle the rightholder to exercise the right and receive shares of common stock of the acquiring company, upon a merger or other business combination, having a market value of twice the exercise price of the right.

      Under certain circumstances after the rights become exercisable, the Board of Directors may elect to exchange all of the then outstanding rights for shares of Common Stock at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per right, subject to adjustment. The rights have no voting privileges and may be redeemed by

the Board of Directors at a price of $.01 per right at any time prior to the acquisition of a beneficial ownership of 15% of the outstanding Common Stock.

STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS

      The following information relates to stock option and incentive stock awards. Option prices are 100 percent of market value on the date the options are granted. Option grants are for a maximum of ten years after dates of grant and may be exercised in installments.

      In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Harris uses the intrinsic-value method of accounting for stock options and incentive stock awards granted to employees and, accordingly, does not recognize compensation expense for its stock options and incentive stock awards to employees in the Consolidated Statement of Income. This footnote includes pro forma information on the impact of the fair-value method of accounting for stock options.

      Presented below is pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share. It has been determined as if Harris had accounted for stock options using the fair value method of accounting for stock options. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

      For purposes of pro forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of options is amortized to expense over their three-year vesting period. Under the fair value method, Harris’ net income and net income per share would have been reduced as follows:

Basic net income per share
  $ .10     $ .08     $ .07  
Diluted net income per share

      The weighted average fair value of options at their grant date during 2001, 2000, and 1999, where the exercise price equaled the market price on the grant date, were $9.40, $8.53, and $7.32, respectively.

      Harris has stock incentive plans for directors and employees. Awards under these plans may include the grant of performance shares, restricted stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights or other stock-based awards. Performance shares outstanding under the stock incentive plans were 139,342 at June 29, 2001, 209,716 at June 30, 2000, and 429,869 at July 2, 1999. Shares of Common Stock reserved for future awards under the stock incentive plan were 11,505,987 at June 29, 2001, 3,242,441 at June 30, 2000, and 2,296,417 at July 2, 1999. The weighted average fair values of performance shares at their grant date during 2001, 2000, and 1999, were $27.83, $26.77, and $34.12, respectively. Total compensation income (expense) recognized from performance shares were ($1.1) million in fiscal 2001, $3.6 million in fiscal 2000, and $0.2 million in fiscal 1999.

      Under Harris’ domestic retirement plan, employees may purchase a limited amount of Harris’ Common Stock at 70 percent of current market value. The discounts from fair market value on Common Stock purchased by employees under the domestic retirement plans are charged to compensation expense in the period of the related purchase. Shares of Common Stock reserved for future purchases by the retirement plan were 2,172,688 at June 29, 2001.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      Customer-sponsored research and development costs are incurred pursuant to long-term contractual arrangements and are accounted for principally by the percentage-of-completion method. Customer-sponsored research and development costs incurred under government-sponsored contracts require Harris to provide a product or service meeting certain defined performance or other specifications (such as designs). Customer-sponsored research and development costs were $372.5 million in fiscal 2001, $379.8 million in fiscal 2000, and $407.9 million in fiscal 1999.

INTEREST EXPENSE

      Total interest from continuing operations was $34.8 million in fiscal 2001, $25.2 million in fiscal 2000, and $9.9 million in fiscal 1999. Interest attributable to funds used to finance major long-term construction projects is capitalized as an additional cost of the related asset. No interest was capitalized in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000. Interest capitalized was $0.1 million in fiscal 1999. Interest paid was $35.3 million in fiscal 2001, $25.5 million in fiscal 2000, and $14.6 million in fiscal 1999.

LEASE COMMITMENTS

      Total rental expense from continuing operations amounted to $20.9 million in fiscal 2001, $21.7 million in fiscal 2000, and $21.8 million in fiscal 1999. Future minimum rental commitments under leases, primarily for land and buildings, amounted to approximately $69.1 million at June 29, 2001. These commitments for the years following fiscal 2001 are: fiscal 2002 — $17.1 million; fiscal 2003 — $13.2 million; fiscal 2004 — $9.5 million; fiscal 2005 — $8.8 million; fiscal 2006 — $6.7 million; and $13.8 million, thereafter.

      United States income taxes have not been provided on $365.4 million of undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries because of Harris’ intention to reinvest these earnings. The determination of unrecognized deferred U.S. tax liability for the undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries is not practicable.

      Tax loss and credit carryforwards have expiration dates ranging between 3 and 20 years.

      Pretax income from continuing operations of international subsidiaries was $4.5 million in fiscal 2001, $1.0 million in fiscal 2000, and $2.7 million in fiscal 1999.

      Income taxes paid were $33.7 million in fiscal 2001, $47.4 million in fiscal 2000, and $35.5 million in fiscal 1999.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS — Restated

      Harris is structured primarily around the markets it serves and operates in five business segments — Government Communications, RF Communications, Microwave Communications, Network Support, and Broadcast Communications. On May 31, 2002, Harris restated its presentation of segment data for the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A from a two segment format to the current five-segment format. The Government Communications segment engages in advanced research and develops, designs, and produces advanced communication and information processing systems. The RF Communications segment sells tactical radio products and services. The Microwave Communications segment sells microwave radio products and services. The Network Support segment sells telephone test equipment and systems and network management systems and related services. The Broadcast Communications segment sells television and radio transmission products and services, automation and control systems and studio products and services. Harris’ products and systems are produced principally in the United States with international revenues derived primarily from exports.

      The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the Significant Accounting Policies footnote. Harris evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes excluding interest income and expense, equity income, goodwill amortization and gains or losses from securities and other investments. Intersegment sales, which are insignificant, are accounted for at prices comparable to unaffiliated customers. “Corporate eliminations” below represent the elimination of intersegment sales.

      Sales made to the U.S. government by all segments (primarily the Government Communications segment) as a percent of total revenues from continuing operations were 41.8 percent in fiscal 2001, 40.6 percent in fiscal 2000, and 42.3 percent in fiscal 1999.
