For the quarter ended September 26, 2008, the calculation of diluted
earnings per share includes a potential deduction to net income of $0.2
million for the assumed after-tax effect of the change in fair value of
warrants using the treasury stock method. |

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 26, 2008
(Unaudited)
Note A Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harris
Stratex Networks, Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (we, us, and our)
and have been prepared by us, without an audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all information
and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations
and changes in cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In the
opinion of our management, such financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for such periods.
The results for the quarter ended September 26, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any subsequent period. The balance sheet
as of June 27, 2008 has been derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States for annual financial statements. We provide complete financial statements in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K, which includes information and footnotes required by the rules and regulations
of the SEC. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in
conjunction with the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27,
2008 (Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K) and the Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended September 28, 2007, which was filed
with the SEC on September 25, 2008.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those results and estimates.
As of September 26, 2008, Harris Corporation (Harris) owned 100% of our Class B common stock
or approximately 56% of the total shares of our common stock.
Nature of Operations We design, manufacture and sell a broad range of microwave radios and
scalable wireless network solutions for use in worldwide wireless communications networks.
Applications include cellular/mobile infrastructure connectivity; secure data networks; public
safety transport for state, local and federal government users; and right-of-way connectivity for
utilities, pipelines, railroads and industrial companies. In general, wireless networks are
constructed using microwave radios and other equipment and network management solutions to connect
cell sites, fixed-access facilities, switching systems, land mobile radio systems and other similar
systems.
Note B Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Initial Application of Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to Standards and
Interpretations
Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements (Statement 157). Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. Statement 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require
fair value measurement in which the FASB concluded that fair value was the relevant measurement,
but does not require any new fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP FAS 157-2), which
defers the effective date of Statement 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, which for us is our fiscal 2010. We adopted
Statement 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
Our adoption of Statement 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities did not impact our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In accordance with FSP FAS 157-2, we
elected to defer until fiscal 2010 the adoption of Statement 157 for nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities. We do not currently anticipate that the adoption of Statement 157 for
nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities will materially
6
impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note P Fair Value
Measurements in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for
disclosures required by Statement 157.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Statement 159). Statement 159
allows companies to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial
assets and financial liabilities at fair value (the fair value option). The election is made on
an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for an
instrument, all unrealized gains or losses in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in
earnings as of each subsequent reporting date. We adopted Statement 159 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2009 and did not elect the fair value option for any eligible financial assets or financial
liabilities.
Standards, Interpretations and Amendments Issued, but not yet Adopted
Accounting for Business Combinations
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised
2007), Business Combinations (Statement 141R). Statement 141R requires that, upon a business
combination, the acquired assets, assumed liabilities, contractual contingencies and contingent
liabilities, be recognized and measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Statement
141R also requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition and
expensed as incurred. In addition, Statement 141R requires that acquired in-process research and
development be measured at fair value and capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, and
it is therefore not subject to amortization until the project is completed or abandoned. Statement
141R also requires that changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax
uncertainties that are recognized after the measurement period be recognized in income tax expense.
Statement 141R is to be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning on or
after December 15, 2008, which for us will be our fiscal 2010. Thus, while adoption is not expected
to materially impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows directly when it
becomes effective on July 4, 2009 (the beginning of our fiscal 2010), it is expected to have a
significant effect on the accounting for any acquisitions we make subsequent to that date.
Accounting for Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51
(Statement 160). Statement 160 requires that noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as
minority interests) be clearly identified and presented as a component of equity, separate from the
parents equity. Statement 160 also requires that the amount of consolidated net income
attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented
on the face of the consolidated statement of income; that changes in ownership interest be
accounted for as equity transactions; and that when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained
noncontrolling equity investment in that subsidiary and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of
that subsidiary be measured at fair value. Statement 160 is to be applied prospectively, except for
the presentation and disclosure requirements (which are to be applied retrospectively for all
periods presented) and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which for
us is our fiscal 2010. We do not currently anticipate the implementation of Statement 160 will
materially impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133 (Statement 161). Statement 161 applies to all derivative instruments, including
bifurcated derivative instruments and to nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify
as hedging instruments pursuant to paragraphs 37 and 42 of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Statement 133)
and related hedged items accounted for under Statement 133. Statement 161 amends and expands the
disclosure requirements of Statement 133 to provide greater transparency as to (a) how and why an
entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, results of operations
and cash flows. To meet those objectives, Statement 161 requires qualitative disclosures about
objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about the volume of
derivative activity and fair value amounts of, and gains and losses on, derivative instruments
including location of such amounts in the consolidated financial statements, and disclosures about
credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. Statement 161 is effective for
fiscal years and interim periods
7
that begin after November 15, 2008, which for us is the third quarter of our fiscal 2009. We
do not currently anticipate the implementation of Statement 161 will materially impact our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Earnings per Share
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-6-1, Determining
Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities
(FSP 03-6-1). FSP 03-6-1 states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to
receive nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating
securities and, accordingly, should be included in the two-class method of calculating earnings per
share (EPS) under FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share.
FSP 03-6-1 also includes guidance on allocating earnings pursuant to the two-class method.
FSP 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which for us is our
fiscal 2010. All prior-period EPS data presented (including interim financial statements, summaries
of earnings, and selected financial data) shall be adjusted retrospectively. We are currently
evaluating the impact FSP 03-6-1 may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
Useful Life of Intangible Assets
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determining the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that must be considered in developing renewal
or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of recognized intangible assets
accounted for pursuant to Statement 142. FSP 142-3 amends Statement 142 to require an entity to
consider its own historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements, regardless of
whether those arrangements have explicit renewal or extension provisions. In the absence of such
experience, FSP 142-3 requires an entity to consider assumptions that market participants would use
(consistent with the highest and best use of the asset by market participants), adjusted for
entity-specific factors. FSP 142-3 also requires incremental disclosures for renewable intangible
assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which for us is
our fiscal 2010. FSP 142-3 is to be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the
effective date, and the incremental disclosure requirements for renewable intangible assets are to
be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the
effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact FSP 142-3 may
have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

As of June 27, 2008, we had a credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (the Original Credit
Facility) which provided for short-term and long-term borrowings. The Original Credit Facility
allowed for revolving credit borrowings of up to $50 million with available credit defined as
$50 million less the outstanding balance of the long-term portion and any usage under the revolving
credit portion. As of June 27, 2008, the outstanding balance of the long-term portion of our
Original Credit Facility was $8.8 million and there were $8.6 million in outstanding standby
letters of credit as of that date defined as usage under the revolving credit portion of the
facility.
On June 30, 2008 the Original Credit Facility was terminated and replaced by a new revolving
credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank and Bank of America as of that date (the New
Facility).The outstanding balance of the Original Credit Facility was repaid in full, including
all accrued interest, on June 30, 2008 with the proceeds of a $10 million short-term borrowing
under the New Facility as of that date.
The New
Facility provides for an initial committed amount of $70 million with an uncommitted
accordion option for an additional $50 million available with the same or additional banks. The
initial term of the New Facility is 3 years and provides for (1) demand borrowings (with no stated
maturity date) with an interest rate of the greater of Bank of Americas prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%,
(2) fixed term Eurodollar loans for up to six months or more as
agreed with the banks with an interest rate of LIBOR plus
a spread of between 1.25% to 2.00% based on our current leverage ratio and (3) the issuance of
standby or commercial letters of credit. The New Facility contains a minimum liquidity ratio
covenant and a maximum leverage ratio covenant and is unsecured. As of September 26, 2008, we were
in compliance with these financial covenants.
The New Facility allows for borrowings of up to $70 million with available credit defined as
$70 million less the outstanding balance of borrowings ($10.0 million as of September 26, 2008) and
letters of credit ($7.6 million as of September 26, 2008). Available credit as of September 26,
2008 was $52.4 million. The interest rate on our short-term borrowings was 5% as of September 26,
2008.

Note J Restructuring Activities
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we implemented a new restructuring plan (the Fiscal
2009 Plan) to reduce our workforce in Canada, Brazil and the U.S. During the first quarter of
fiscal 2009, our restructuring charges totaled $3.3 million consisting of:
Severance, retention and related charges associated with reduction in force activities
totaling $3.4 million (Fiscal 2009 Plan).
Impairment of fixed assets (non-cash charges) totaling $0.5 million at our Canadian location
(Fiscal 2009 Plan).
Adjustments to the restructuring liability under our
2007 restructuring plans (the Fiscal 2007
Plans) for changes in estimates related to sub-tenant activity at our U.S. ($0.3 million) and
Canadian locations ($0.3 million).
The information in the following table summarizes our restructuring activity during the
quarter ended September 26, 2008 and the remaining restructuring liability as of September 26,

We did not grant any share-based awards during the quarter ended September 26, 2008.
We issued 688 shares and 77,245 shares during the quarters ended September 26, 2008 and
September 28, 2007 upon the exercise of stock options.
Note L Business Segments
We are organized into three operating segments around the markets we serve: North America
Microwave, International Microwave and Network Operations. The North America Microwave segment
designs, manufactures, sells and services microwave radio products, primarily for cellular network
providers and private network users within North America (U.S. and Canada). The International
Microwave segment designs, manufactures, sells and services microwave radio products, primarily for
cellular network providers and private network users outside of North America. The Network
Operations segment develops, designs, produces, sells and services network management software
systems, primarily for cellular network providers and private network users.
During
the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, we had one customer Mobile
Telephone Networks or MTN of Africa that accounted for 13% and 11% of our total revenue.

assets related to the acquisition of Stratex, $0.2 million in restructuring charges, $1.8 million
in merger related integration charges and $0.1 million in FAS 123R share-based compensation. |
Note M Income Taxes
The
provision for income taxes for the first quarters of fiscal 2009 and 2008 is based on our
estimated annual effective tax rate. Our provision for income taxes
was $0.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The variation between the provision for income taxes and
income tax expense at the statutory rate of 35% is primarily due to the consolidation of our
foreign operations, which are subject to income taxes at lower statutory rates.
As of June 27, 2008, we had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $29.6 million for
various federal, foreign, and state income tax matters. During the first quarter of fiscal 2009,
the liability for unrecognized tax benefits increased by $0.2 million. The total liability for
unrecognized tax benefits as of September 26, 2008 was $29.8 million. If the unrecognized tax
benefits associated with these positions are ultimately recognized, they would not be expected to
have a material impact on our effective tax rate or financial position.
We account for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of our
provision for federal, foreign, and state income taxes. We accrued an additional amount for such
interest of less than $0.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and fiscal year 2008. No
penalties have been accrued.
13
We expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefit may change in the next year; however, it
is not expected to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or
cash flows.
We have a number of years with open tax audits which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Our major tax jurisdictions include the U.S., Nigeria, Singapore, New Zealand, Poland, South
Africa, France and the U.K. The earliest years still open and subject to ongoing audits as for
purposes of FIN 48 for these jurisdictions are as follows: (i) United States (Federal/State) -
2005/2004; (ii) Nigeria 2004; (iii) Singapore 2002; (iv) New Zealand 2004; (v) Poland 2003;
(vi) South Africa 2002; (vii) France 2005; and (viii) U.K. 2007.
Note N Related Party Transactions with Harris
Harris provides information services, human resources, financial shared services, facilities,
legal support and supply chain management services to us. On January 26, 2007, we entered into a
Transition Services Agreement with Harris to provide for certain services. These services also are
charged to us based primarily on actual usage and include database management, supply chain
operating systems, eBusiness services, sales and service, financial systems, back office material
resource planning support, HR systems, internal and information systems shared services support,
network management and help desk support, and server administration and support. During the
quarters ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007, Harris charged us $1.5 million and $1.7
million for these services.
We have sales to, and purchases from, other Harris entities from time to time. These purchases
and sales are recorded at market price. Our sales to Harris entities were $0.9 million and $1.2
million for the quarters ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007. We also recognized costs
associated with related party purchases from Harris of $1.3 million and $0.3 million for the
quarters ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007.
The unpaid amounts billed from Harris are included within Due to Harris Corporation on our
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, we have other receivables and payables in the
normal course of business with Harris. These amounts are netted within Due to Harris Corporation
on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total receivables from Harris were $2.9 million and
$4.0 million as of September 26, 2008 and June 27, 2008. Total payables to Harris were
$13.9 million and $20.8 million as of September 26, 2008 and June 27, 2008.
Prior to
January 26, 2007, the date of our merger with Stratex Networks, Inc., we used certain
assets in Canada owned by Harris that were not contributed to us as part of the merger. We continue
to use these assets in our business and entered into a 5-year lease agreement to accommodate
this use. This agreement is a capital lease under generally accepted accounting principles. As of
September 26, 2008, our lease obligation to Harris was $2.6 million of which $1.4 million is a
current liability and the related asset amount, net of accumulated amortization of $2.5 million, is
included in property, plant and equipment. Quarterly lease payments are due to Harris based on the
amount of 103% of Harris annual depreciation calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we recognized an impairment charge of
$1.3 million on
a portion of these Canadian assets which is included in our restructuring charges. We also recognized an
increase of $0.4 million to the lease obligation balance during the first quarter of fiscal 2008
from a recapitalization under the lease terms, primarily because of the impairment charge and a
rescheduling of the lease payments. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we paid Harris
$2.0 million under this capital lease obligation resulting from the $1.3 million impairment
discussed above and the lease payments. Our amortization expense on this capital lease was
$0.4 million and $0.4 million during the first quarters of fiscal 2009 and 2008.
Note O Net Income (Loss) per Share of Class A and Class B Common Stock
We compute net income (loss) per share of Class A and Class B common stock in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 Earnings per Share (Statement 128) using
the two class method. Under the provisions of Statement 128, basic net income (loss) per share is
computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if
dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of
the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options. The dilutive effect of
outstanding stock options is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury
stock method. The computation of the diluted net income per share of Class A common stock assumes
the conversion of Class B common stock, while the diluted net income per share of Class B common
stock does not assume the conversion of those shares.
14
The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of our Class A and
Class B common stock are substantially similar. However, the holders of Class B common stock have
the sole and exclusive right to elect or remove the Class B directors, who currently number five of
the nine members of our board of directors. Further, our restated certificate of incorporation
cannot be amended or replaced to adversely affect the rights of the holders of Class B common stock
or to approve a new issuance of Class B common stock without the approval of the holders of a
majority of Class B common stock. At any time each holder may exchange the holders shares of Class
B common stock for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock at the holders option. Under
certain circumstances, each share of Class B common stock will convert automatically into one share
of Class A common stock. The holders of Class B common stock have the right to preserve their
proportionate interest in the company by participating in any issuance of capital stock by the
company other than issuances pursuant to stock option or similar employee benefit plan. As a
result, and in accordance with EITF 03-6, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under
FASB Statement No. 128, the undistributed earnings for each year are allocated based on the
contractual participation rights of the Class A and Class B common shares as if the earnings for
the year had been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the
undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis. Further, as we assume the conversion
of Class B common stock in the computation of the diluted net income per share of Class A common
stock, the undistributed earnings are equal to net income for that computation.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share of
Class A and Class B common stock for the quarter ended September 26, 2008:

We excluded 2.1 million and
0.5 million shares attributable to outstanding stock options and
warrants from the denominator in the calculation of diluted earnings per share
for Class A and Class B common stock for the quarter
ended September 26, 2008 because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The net income per
share amounts are the same for Class A and Class B because the holders of each class are legally
entitled to equal per share distributions whether through dividends or in liquidation. Diluted
earnings per share is not presented for the quarter ended September 28, 2007 due to a net loss in
the period.
Note P Fair Value Measurements
We adopted Statement 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities in the first quarter
of fiscal 2009. Our adoption of Statement 157 did not impact our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. In accordance with FSP FAS 157-2, we elected to defer until fiscal 2010
the adoption of Statement 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. Statement
157 defines fair value
15
as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the
principal market (or most advantageous market, in the absence of a principal market) for the asset
or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.
Statement 157 requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs in measuring fair value and establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that
prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair
value are as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
reporting entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, including
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for
identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs other
than quoted prices that are observable or are derived principally fromor corroborated
byobservable market data by correlation or other means. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, are
significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, and reflect the reporting
entitys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. |
The following table represents the fair value hierarchy of our financial assets and
liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) as of September 26,
2008:

As of June 27, 2008, we had warrants to purchase shares of our Class A common stock. Our
liability for warrants is classified as a Level 3 financial liability under Statement 157. As of
September 26, 2008, warrants to purchase 520,445 shares of our Class A common stock were
outstanding. These warrants have an exercise price of $11.80 per common share and will expire on
September 24, 2009. The per share fair value of each warrant was $0.67 and $1.15 as of September
26, 2008 and June 27, 2008, determined based on the Black-Scholes-Merton model with the assumptions
listed in the table below.

Note Q Legal Proceedings
On February 8, 2007, a court order was entered against Stratex do Brasil, a subsidiary of
Harris Stratex Networks Operating Company, in Brazil, to enforce performance of an alleged
agreement between the former Stratex Networks, Inc. entity and a supplier. We have not determined
what, if any, liability this may result in, as the court did not award any damages. We have
appealed the decision to enforce the alleged agreement, and do not expect this litigation to have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
We and certain of our current and former
executive officers and directors were named in a federal securities class action complaint filed on September 15, 2008 in the United
States District Court for the District of Delaware by plaintiff Norfolk County Retirement System on behalf of an alleged class of
purchasers of our securities from January 29, 2007 to July 30, 2008, including shareholders of Stratex Networks, Inc. who exchanged
shares of Stratex Networks, Inc. for our shares as part of the merger between Stratex Networks and the Microwave Communications
Division of Harris Corporation. This action relates to the restatement of our prior financial statements as discussed in Item 2
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Similar complaints were filed in
the United
States District Court of Delaware on October 6 and October 30, 2008. Each complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, as well as violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the
Securities Act of 1933 and seeks, among other relief, determinations that the action is a proper class action, unspecified compensatory
damages and reasonable attorneys fees and costs. We are making arrangements with plaintiffs counsel in these actions under which
we will
not have to respond to these claims until a lead plaintiff is selected by the Court and that lead plaintiff has filed a consolidated class
action complaint. We believe that we have meritorious defenses and intend to defend ourselves vigorously.
From time to time, we may be involved in various legal claims and litigation that arise in the
normal course of our operations. While the results of such claims and litigation cannot be
predicted with certainty, we currently believe that we are not a party to any litigation the final
outcome of which is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. However, should we not prevail in any such litigation; it could have a
materially adverse impact on our operating results, cash flows or financial position.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board
of Directors and Shareholders of Harris Stratex Networks, Inc.
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of September 26, 2008, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations
for the quarters ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007, and the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the quarters ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an
opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the
condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Harris Stratex Networks, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of June 27, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations and
cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein, and in our report dated September 12,
2008, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our
opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
June 27, 2008, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act), which include, without limitation, statements about the market for
our technology, our strategy and competition. Such statements are based upon current expectations
that involve risks and uncertainties. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of
historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. For example, the words believes,
anticipates, plans, expects, intends and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Our actual results and the timing of certain events may differ
significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might
cause such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those discussed below under the
discussions of Risk Factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2008. All forward looking statements in this document are
based on information available to us as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update
any such forward-looking statements.
As previously announced on July 30, 2008, Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. and its Audit Committee
concluded that our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 29, 2007, June
30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 and for the first three quarters of the fiscal year ended June 27, 2008
would be restated for the correction of errors contained in those consolidated financial
statements. The effect of these restatement items reduced shareholders equity cumulatively by
$11.0 million as of September 28, 2007. Previously reported net loss was decreased by $0.6 million
for the quarter ended September 28, 2007. The restatement had no impact on our net cash flows from
operations, financing activities or investing activities. To correct these errors, on September 25,
2008, we filed amended quarterly reports on Form 10-Q/A for the first three quarters of fiscal 2008
and an amended annual report on Form 10-K/A for fiscal year 2007. The
financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 included in
this report are from the amended quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A
filed with the SEC on September 25, 2008.
Overview
The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, which is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as the MD&A, is
provided as a supplement to, should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes presented under
Item 1, Financial Statements of this report. As of September 26, 2008, Harris Corporation
(Harris) owned 100% of our Class B common stock
representing approximately 56% of our total voting shares.
The following is a list of the sections of the MD&A, together with the perspective of our
management on the contents of these sections of the MD&A, which is intended to make reading these
pages more productive:
|
|
|
Business Considerations a general description of our businesses; the drivers of these
businesses and our strategy for achieving value and key indicators that are relevant to us
in the microwave communications industry. |
|
|
|
|
Operations Review an analysis of our consolidated results of operations and of the
results in each of its three operating segments, to the extent the operating segment results
are helpful to gaining an understanding of our business as a whole. |
|
|
|
|
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Strategies an analysis of cash flows,
contractual obligations, off-balance sheet arrangements, commercial commitments, financial
risk management, impact of foreign exchange and impact of inflation. |
|
|
|
|
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates a discussion of accounting policies and
estimates that require the most judgment and a discussion of accounting pronouncements that
have been issued but not yet implemented by us and their potential impact. |
Business Considerations
We are a leading independent wireless networks solutions provider, focused on delivering 1)
microwave digital radio and other communications products, systems and professional services for
private network operators and mobile telecommunications providers; and 2) turnkey end-to-end
network management and service assurance solutions for broadband and converged networks. Our three
segments serve markets for microwave products and services in North America Microwave,
International Microwave and network management software solutions
worldwide, which we refer to as Network Operations.
All of our revenue, income and cash flow are derived from the sale of these products, systems,
software and services. We generally sell directly to the end customer. However, to extend our
global footprint and maximize our penetration in certain markets, we sometimes sell through agents,
resellers and/or distributors, particularly in international markets.
19
Drivers of Harris Stratex Businesses and Strategy for Achieving Value
We currently focus on these key drivers:
|
|
|
Achieving profitable revenue growth in all segments; |
|
|
|
|
Focusing on operating efficiencies and cost reductions; and |
|
|
|
|
Maintaining an efficient capital structure. |
Achieving Profitable Revenue Growth in All Segments
We are a global provider of wireless transmission networks solutions. We focus on
capitalizing on our strength in the North American market by continuing to seek to win
opportunities with wireless telecommunications providers as well as federal, state and other
private network operators. We expect our growth opportunities to come from network and capacity
expansion and the evolution to IP networking in both the public and private segments. Other growth
drivers include the emerging triple-play services (voice, data and video) market in the public
sector, the trend towards network hardening and interoperability for public safety and disaster
response agencies and the FCC directive to relocate frequency bands in the 2 GHz range to open up
spectrum for advanced wireless services. Wireless transmission systems are particularly well-suited
to meet the increasing demand for high-reliability, high-bandwidth networks that are more secure
and better protected against natural and man-made disasters.
We
focus on increasing our international revenue by offering innovative new products and
expanding regional sales channels to capture greenfield network opportunities. We also focus
on two major evolutionary trends in the global communications market by 1) penetrating large
regional mobile telecom operators to participate in network expansion and new third-generation
(3G) network opportunities; and 2) enabling the migration to IP networking in both the public and
private segments by providing both IP-enabled and IP-centric wireless transmission solutions.
Through our Network Operations segment,
we offer a broad range of engineering and other professional services for network planning,
systems architecture design and project management as a global competitive advantage. We will
expand our Network Operations offerings in microwave and non-microwave opportunities to create a
differentiator for our total solutions offerings.
Focusing on Operating Efficiencies and Cost Reductions
The principal focus areas for operating efficiencies and cost management are: 1) reducing
procurement costs through an emphasis on coordinated supply chain management; 2) reducing product
costs through dedicated value engineering resources focused on product value engineering;
3) improving manufacturing efficiencies across all segments; and 4) optimizing facility
utilization.
Maintaining an Efficient Capital Structure
Our capital structure is intended to optimize our cost of capital. We believe a strong capital
position, access to key financial markets, ability to raise funds at a low effective cost and
overall low cost of borrowing provide a competitive advantage. We had $96.9 million in cash, cash
equivalents, short-term investments and available for sale securities as of September 26, 2008.
Key Indicators
We
believe our drivers, when fully implemented, will improve key
performance indicators such as: net
income, revenue, gross margin, gross margin percentage, selling and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenue and cash flow from operations.

Our revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $195.8 million, an increase of
$23.5 million or 13.6%, compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2008. This increase resulted from
growth in Africa as customers there continued to expand their network infrastructures and in Latin
America and Asia Pacific where our Eclipse Intelligent Node unit
system solution is gaining acceptance in 3G network
rollouts.
Due to the economic slowdown and the tightening of
credit among lending institutions, there is a possibility that
customers may decrease their overall spending allocated for network
expansion. Some customers may delay or eliminate spending for our
products and services in North America and elsewhere.
Our net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $5.6 million compared with a net loss
of $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The net income in the first quarters of fiscal
2009 and 2008 included the following purchase accounting adjustments and other expenses related to
the acquisition and integration of Stratex and share-based compensation expense:

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we implemented a new restructuring plan (the Fiscal
2009 Plan) to reduce our workforce in Canada, Brazil and the U.S. During the first quarter of
fiscal 2009, our restructuring charges totaled $3.3 million consisting of:
Severance, retention and related charges associated with reduction in force activities
totaling $3.4 million (Fiscal 2009 Plan).
Impairment of fixed assets (non-cash charges) totaling $0.5 million at our Canadian location
(Fiscal 2009 Plan).
Adjustments to the restructuring liability under our 2007 restructuring plans (the Fiscal 2007
Plans) for changes in estimates related to sub-tenant activity at our U.S. ($0.3 million) and
Canadian locations ($0.3 million).
We estimate that we will record an additional $1.1 million in restructuring charges under the
Fiscal 2009 Plan during fiscal 2009. Additionally, we expect to have further restructuring plans
during fiscal 2009.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded an additional $4.0 million of
restructuring charges in connection with the implementation of our Fiscal 2007 Plans. These first
quarter fiscal 2008 restructuring charges consisted of:
Severance, retention and related charges associated with reduction in force activities totaling
$2.3 million ($2.9 million in first quarter fiscal 2008 charges, less $0.6 million for a
reduction in the restructuring liability previously recorded for Canada and France).
Lease impairment charges totaling $0.8 million from implementation of Fiscal 2007 Plans
and changes in estimates related to
21
sub-tenant activity at our U.S. and Canadian locations.
Impairment of fixed assets and leasehold improvements totaling $0.9 million at our Canadian
location.

Gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $58.2 million, or 29.7% of revenue,
compared with $47.0 million, or 27.3% of revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Gross margin
in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was reduced by $1.8 million for amortization of developed
technology and $0.2 million for amortization of the fair value of adjustments for fixed assets
acquired from Stratex. Gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was reduced by an
$0.2 million write-off of a portion of the fair value adjustments related to fixed assets,
$1.8 million for amortization of developed technology and $0.6 million of integration costs.
Gross
margin and gross margin percentage increased during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the first
quarter of fiscal 2008 due to higher revenue and an improved product mix in our International
Microwave segment.

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $10.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2009 compared with $12.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2008. As a percentage of revenue,
these expenses decreased from 7.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to 5.2% in the first quarter
of fiscal 2009 due to higher revenue and a decrease in spending. The majority of the decrease in
spending in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was
primarily attributable to the reduction in workforce implemented in our restructuring plans during
fiscal 2008 and the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Selling and administrative (S&A) expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 increased to
$36.5 million from $28.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. As a percentage of revenue,
these expenses increased to 18.6% of revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from 16.7% of
revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. S&A expenses increased by $7.7 million or 26.7% in the
first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2008 primarily due to the
following:
Sales incentive costs increased by $1.0 million due to an increase in expected commission
rates under our sales compensation plan and slightly higher orders.
Compensation costs increased by $0.6 million resulting from opening new international sales
offices.
Compensation costs increased by $0.9 million due to increased staff levels in finance and
growth in our Singapore office.
Increase of $2.5 million in outside audit, accounting, legal and consulting services to
complete the fiscal 2008 audit, including first year SOX requirements, to complete the restatement
of our financial statements and for other legal expenses primarily related to patents.
Increase
in information technology expenses of $1.0 million due to
consolidation of global information technology infrastructure and
associated services.

The provision for income taxes for the first quarters of fiscal 2009 and 2008 reflect our
pre-tax income based on our estimated annual effective tax rate. The variation between the
provision for income taxes and income taxes at the statutory rate of 35% is primarily due to the
consolidation of our foreign operations, which are subject to income taxes at lower statutory
rates.

Related Party Transactions with Harris
Harris provides information services, human resources, financial shared services, facilities,
legal support and supply chain management services to us. On January 26, 2007, we entered into a
Transition Services Agreement with Harris to provide for certain services. These services also are
charged to us based primarily on actual usage and include database management, supply chain
operating systems, eBusiness services, sales and service, financial systems, back office material
resource planning support, HR systems, internal and information systems shared services support,
network management and help desk support, and server administration and support. During the
quarters ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007, Harris charged us $1.5 million and $1.7
million for these services.
We have sales to, and purchases from, other Harris entities from time to time. These purchases
and sales are recorded at market price. Our sales to Harris entities were $0.9 million and $1.2
million for the quarters ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007. We also recognized costs
associated with related party purchases from Harris of $1.3 million and $0.3 million for the
quarters ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007.
The unpaid amounts billed from Harris are included within Due to Harris Corporation on our
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, we have other receivables and payables in the
normal course of business with Harris. These amounts are netted within Due to Harris Corporation
on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total receivables from Harris were $2.9 million and
$4.0 million as of September 26, 2008 and June 27, 2008. Total payables to Harris were
$13.9 million and $20.8 million as of September 26, 2008 and June 27, 2008.
Prior to January 26, 2007, the date of our merger with Stratex Networks, Inc., we used certain
assets in Canada owned by Harris that were not contributed to us as part of the merger. We continue
to use these assets in our business and we entered into a 5-year lease agreement to accommodate
this use. This agreement is a capital lease under generally accepted accounting principles. As of
September 26, 2008, our lease obligation to Harris was $2.6 million of which $1.4 million is a
current liability and the related asset amount, net of accumulated amortization of $2.5 million, is
included in property, plant and equipment. Quarterly lease payments are due to Harris based on the
amount of 103% of Harris annual depreciation calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we recognized an impairment charge of $1.3 million on
a portion of these assets which is included in our restructuring charges. We also recognized an
increase of $0.4 million to the lease obligation balance during the first quarter of fiscal 2008
from a recapitalization under the lease terms, primarily because of the impairment charge and a
rescheduling of the lease payments. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we paid Harris
$2.0 million under this capital lease obligation resulting from the $1.3 million impairment
discussed above and the lease payments. Our amortization expense on this capital lease was
$0.4 million and $0.4 million during the first quarters of fiscal 2009 and 2008.

North America Microwave segment revenue increased by $4.9 million, or 8.7%, in the first
quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Revenue drivers in the North
America Microwave segment included customer demand for increased bandwidth, footprint expansion and
the relocation of advanced wireless services to the 2 gigahertz spectrum by mobile operators.

The
North America Microwave first quarter fiscal 2009 operating income
reflected deductions for the
following amounts related to the acquisition of Stratex: $0.2 million for amortization of the fair
value adjustments for fixed assets, $0.4 million for amortization of developed technology, trade
names and customer relationships and $2.7 million of
restructuring charges. The total of such charges was less for this
segment than in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
The operating loss for this segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 included the following
amounts related to the acquisition of Stratex: a $0.2 million write-off of a portion of the fair
value adjustments for fixed assets, $0.6 million for amortization of developed technology,
tradenames, customer relationships and non-compete agreements, and $5.6 million of charges related
principally to restructuring and integration activities undertaken in connection with the merger.
The North America Microwave segment operating results also included $0.8 million in
share-based compensation expense during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with $2.3 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

International Microwave segment revenue increased by $21.7 million or 19.9% in the first
quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2008. This increase resulted from
growth in Africa for network infrastructure expansion and in Latin
America and Asia Pacific where sales of Eclipse systems increased due
to customers 3G network rollouts.
Our International Microwave segment had operating income of $5.8 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 2009 compared with an operating loss of $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
The improvement in operating income resulted primarily from an increase in revenue when compared
with the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The operating income in the
first quarter of fiscal 2009 reflected deductions for the following charges related to the acquisition of Stratex: $0.4 million for
amortization of the fair value adjustments for fixed assets, $2.8 million for amortization of
developed technology, tradenames and customer relationships and $0.6 million of restructuring
charges. The total of such charges was less for this segment than in
the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
The operating loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 included the following amounts related
to the acquisition of Stratex: $0.5 million for amortization of the fair value adjustments for
fixed assets, $3.0 million for amortization of developed technology, tradenames, customer
relationships and non-compete agreements, and $2.0 million of charges related principally to
restructuring and integration activities undertaken in connection with the merger.
We also recorded $0.3 million in share-based compensation expense in the first quarter of
fiscal 2009 in our International Microwave segment compared with $0.1 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 2008.

Network Operations segment revenue decreased by 47.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2009
compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2008 primarily due to a
delay in orders from customers and a realignment of the sales force. This segment had an operating loss of $0.7 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with operating income of $0.8 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2008.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of three
months or less as of the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents
decreased by $0.6 million to $94.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with a
$5.0 million decrease during the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
We currently believe that existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and
available for sale securities, funds generated from operations and access to our credit facility
will be sufficient to provide for our anticipated requirements for working capital and capital
expenditures for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.
There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate cash flow, or that
anticipated operational improvements will be achieved. If we are unable to maintain cash balances
or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our obligations, we may be required to
sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, or obtain financing. If we need to obtain additional
financing, we cannot be assured that it will be available on favorable terms, or at all. Our
ability to make scheduled principal payments or pay interest on or refinance any future
indebtedness depends on our future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent,
are subject to general conditions in or affecting the microwave communications market and to
general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our
control.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash and cash equivalents provided by our operating activities was $3.9 million during the
first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with $2.1 million provided by operating activities during the
first quarter of fiscal 2008. Operating cash flow in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 benefited
from a $5.5 million decrease in receivables, increases of $4.3 million in accounts payable and
accrued expenses and a $1.0 million increase in advance payments and unearned income. Increases to
operating cash flow were partially offset by an increase of $13.6 million in inventories and
unbilled costs, a $5.8 million decrease in amounts due to Harris and a $2.1 million
decrease in restructuring liabilities and other during the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
26
Net cash provided by our operating activities was $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2008 as we had increases
in accounts payable and accrued expenses, amounts due to Harris and other cash flow from
operations. These increases to operating cash flow were partially offset by increases in
receivables and unbilled costs.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in our investing activities was $4.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal
2009 compared with $1.0 million used in investing activities during the first quarter of fiscal
2008. Investing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was
$1.2 million in purchases of short-term investments, $1.0 million of additions of capitalized
software primarily for the purchase and implementation of new enterprise-wide information systems
and $4.4 million of additions of property, plant and equipment. These uses of cash in investing
activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 were partially offset by the receipt of
$1.8 million in proceeds from the sale and maturity of short-term investments and available for
sale securities.
Net
cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2008
included $4.0 million in
purchases of short-term investments, $4.2 million of additions of capitalized software primarily
for the purchase and implementation of new enterprise-wide information systems and $2.1 million of
additions of property, plant and equipment. These uses of cash in investing activities during the
first quarter of fiscal 2008 were partially offset by the receipt of $9.3 million in proceeds from
the sale and maturity of short-term investments and available for sale securities.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities
Net cash provided by our financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was
$1.2 million compared with $5.1 million used in financing activities during the first quarter of
fiscal 2008. During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we used our
cash for the repayment of $8.8 million of long-term debt upon obtaining a new credit facility. We obtained cash from
borrowings of $10.0 million under the
new credit facility to pay-off this long-term debt.
The net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 largely related
to the repayment of $1.2 million in short-term debt, payment of $2.0 million on our capital lease
obligation to Harris and $2.8 million in principal payments on long-term debt. We also received
$0.9 million in proceeds from the exercise of former Stratex options.
Sources of Liquidity
As of September 26, 2008, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $96.9 million in
cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and available for sale securities and $52.4 million
of available credit under our $70 million credit facility.
Available Credit Facility and Repayment of Debt
As of September 26, 2008 we had $52.4 million of credit available against our $70 million
revolving credit facility with two commercial banks as described in
Note H under Item 1, Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The total amount of revolving credit
available as of September 26, 2008 was $70 million less short-term debt of $10.0 million drawn
under the revolving credit portion of the facility and $7.6 million outstanding in standby letters
of credit as of that date, which are defined as usage under the revolving credit portion of the
facility. There were no long-term borrowings under the facility as of September 26, 2008.
Our debt consisted of the following as of September 26, 2008 and June 27, 2008:

The $10.0 million in short-term borrowings outstanding under the
credit facility as of September 26, 2008 are demand borrowings with no stated maturity date and may be repaid at any time
before the expiry date of the facility without penalty. There are no immediate plans to repay this
amount. The credit facility expires on June 29, 2011.
Based on covenants included as part of the credit facility we are required to maintain, as
measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a minimum liquidity ratio and a maximum
leverage ratio. The liquidity ratio is defined as the ratio of total unrestricted cash and
equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities plus 50% of total monetary
receivables to outstanding loans and letter of credit obligations under the facility. The leverage
ratio is defined as the ratio of total funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the four
fiscal quarters most recently ended. As of September 26, 2008, we were in compliance with these
financial covenants.
Liability for Restructuring Activities
We had total liability for restructuring activities of $10.1 million as of September 26, 2008,
of which $5.6 million was classified as a current liability and expected to be paid in cash
over the next 12 months. Furthermore, we expect to incur additional restructuring charges during
fiscal 2009 which may be paid during fiscal 2009 and beyond.
Contractual Obligations
As of September 26, 2008, we had contractual cash obligations for repayment of debt and
related interest, purchase obligations to acquire goods and services, payments for operating lease
commitments, obligations to Harris, payments on our restructuring and severance liabilities,
redemption of our preference shares and payment of the related required dividend payments and other
current liabilities on our balance sheet in the normal course of business. The amounts disclosed in
our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K included our contractual obligations as of June 27, 2008. During the
quarter ended September 26, 2008, no material changes occurred in our contractual obligations.
Commercial Commitments
We have entered into commercial commitments in the normal course of business including surety
bonds, standby letters of credit and other arrangements with financial institutions and insurers
primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain tenders and contracts to
provide products and services to customers. During the quarter ended September 26, 2008, our
commercial commitments and contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit, guarantees and
other arrangements increased to $59.2 million from $50.5 million as of June 27, 2008, primarily due
to an increase in bids bonds in North America and an increase in performance bonds internationally of which
$4.8 million pertains to a contract in Saudi Arabia.
Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the
application of U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect our reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates. In
other instances, changes in the accounting estimates from period to period are reasonably likely to
occur. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by
management. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual
results, our future financial statement presentation of our financial condition or results of
operations may be affected.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue
recognition, provision for doubtful accounts and sales returns, provision for inventory
obsolescence, fair value of investments, fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill,
useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, income taxes, restructuring
obligations, product warranty obligations, and contingencies and litigation, among others. We base
our estimates on historical experience, our assessment of current factors impacting the estimates
and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We refer to accounting estimates of
this type as critical accounting estimates.
28
Critical Accounting Policies
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and accompanying Notes are
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preparing financial
statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the
application of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note B
Significant Accounting Policies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K. Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that require
application of managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of
matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting
policies and estimates for us include: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) provisions for excess and
obsolete inventory losses, (iii) goodwill and intangible assets, and (iv) income taxes and tax
valuation allowances. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates,
see our Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in
our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
As described in Note B Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements in the
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, there are accounting pronouncements that have
recently been issued but have not yet been implemented by us. Note B describes the potential impact
that these pronouncements are expected to have on our financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
In the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to the risks associated with foreign
currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. We employ established policies and
procedures governing the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.
Exchange Rate Risk
We use foreign exchange contracts to hedge both balance sheet and off-balance sheet future
foreign currency commitments. Generally, these foreign exchange contracts offset foreign currency
denominated monetary assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable from customers and
intercompany loans, customers orders in backlog and purchase commitments from suppliers. We believe
the use of foreign currency financial instruments should reduce the risks that arise from doing
business in international markets. As of September 26, 2008, we had open foreign exchange contracts
with a notional amount of $66.6 million, of which $19.5 million were designated as hedges under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities (Statement 133) and $47.1 million were not designated as Statement 133
hedges. That compares with total foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of $80.4 million
as of June 27, 2008, of which $19.2 million were designated as Statement 133 hedges and
$61.2 million were not designated as Statement 133 hedges. As of September 26, 2008, contract
expiration dates ranged from less than one month to three months with a weighted average contract
life of approximately 1.5 months. The foreign exchange contracts designated as Statement 133 hedges
have been used primarily to hedge currency exposures from customer
orders currently in backlog that are denominated in
non-functional currencies.
As of September 26, 2008, we estimated that pre-tax income of $1.1 million would be
reclassified into earnings from accumulated other comprehensive income within the next three months
related to these cash flow hedges. The net gain or loss included in our earnings representing the
amount of hedge ineffectiveness during the fiscal quarters ended September 26, 2008 and September
28, 2007 was not significant.
We recognize in earnings any portion of a derivatives change in fair value which is assessed
as ineffective in accordance with the provisions of Statement 133. The amount recognized in our
earnings related to the component of the derivative instruments gain or loss excluded from the
assessment of hedge effectiveness during the fiscal quarters ended September 26, 2008 and September
28, 2007 was $0.1 million loss and zero. All of these derivatives were recorded at their fair value
on our consolidated balance sheet in accordance with Statement 133. Factors that could impact the
effectiveness of our hedging programs for foreign currency include accuracy of sales estimates,
volatility of currency markets and the cost and availability of hedging instruments. A 10% adverse
change in currency exchange rates for our foreign currency
derivatives held as of September 26, 2008 would have
an impact of approximately $5.9 million on the fair value of such instruments. This quantification
of exposure to the market risk associated with foreign exchange financial instruments does not take
into account the offsetting impact of changes in the fair value of our foreign denominated assets,
liabilities and firm commitments.
29
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash
equivalents, short-term investments, available for sale securities and bank debt borrowings.
Exposure on Cash Equivalents, Short-term Investments and Available for Sale Securities
We do not use derivative financial instruments in our short-term investment portfolio. We
invest in high-credit quality issues and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one
issuer and country. The portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or
resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. The portfolio is also diversified by maturity to
ensure that funds are readily available as needed to meet our liquidity needs. This policy reduces
the potential need to sell securities in order to meet liquidity needs and therefore the potential
effect of changing market rates on the value of securities sold.
Our investment policy specifically excludes investments in auction rate or asset backed
securities. All money market funds we utilize at banks and financial institutions are rated as
prime and subject to federal regulations governing such funds. The money market funds we invest in
have not been revalued below $1 per share or experienced liquidity issues.
We had $96.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and available for sale
securities as of September 26, 2008. Short-term investments and available for sale securities were
$2.5 million as of September 26, 2008. As of September 26, 2008, short-term investments and
available for sale securities had contractual maturities ranging from 1 month to 10 months.
The primary objective of our short-term investment activities is to preserve principal while
maximizing yields, without significantly increasing risk. Our cash equivalents, short-term
investments and available for sale securities earn interest at fixed rates; therefore, changes in
interest rates will not generate a gain or loss on these investments unless they are sold prior to
maturity. Actual gains and losses due to the sale of our investments prior to maturity have been
immaterial. The weighted average days to maturity for cash equivalents, short-term investments and
available for sale securities held as of September 26, 2008 was 24 days, and these investments had
an average yield of 2.46% per annum.
As of September 26, 2008, unrealized losses on our investments were insignificant. Cash
equivalents, short-term investments and available for sale securities have been recorded at fair
value on our balance sheet.
Exposure on Bank Debt Borrowings
On June 30, 2008, we entered into a new revolving credit facility with two banks (the New
Facility) for an initial committed amount of $70 million. As of that date, we repaid $8.8 million
in long-term debt outstanding with the proceeds of a $10 million short-term borrowing under the New
Facility. Under the New Facility, interest on our borrowings will be at either the greater of the
banks prime rate or the Fed Funds rate plus 0.5% (for demand borrowings) or at LIBOR plus 1.25%
(for fixed rate Eurodollar borrowings). We had $10 million in short-term demand borrowings under
the New Facility as of September 26, 2008 bearing interest at the banks prime rate of 5%. A 10%
change in interest rates on the current borrowings or on future borrowings are not expected to have
a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows since interest on
our short-term debt is not material to our overall financial position.
30
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting for the Company, as such term is defined in
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Because of its inherent limitations, systems of internal control over financial reporting can
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of
certain of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 26, 2008
because of the continued existence of the material weakness related to project cost variances and
account reconciliations as described in Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 27, 2008 (Managements Report).
To address our material weaknesses related to project cost variances and account
reconciliations, in September 2008, we began dedicating significant in-house and external resources
to implement enhancements to remediate these material weaknesses. During the closing of our books
for the quarter ended September 26, 2008, we performed additional account reconciliation procedures
and reviews to address the risks associated with the material weaknesses. The material weaknesses
will continue to exist until the following remediation steps are fully implemented:
Project Cost Variances
|
|
|
Management will generate and review a project work in process exposure report each
quarter to ensure work in process is properly relieved of costs. |
|
|
|
|
Management will train the appropriate associates in the methods of review of the project
costs and will create a high-level awareness of the importance of thorough project cost
reviews. |
|
|
|
|
Management will ensure the timely closing of projects. |
|
|
|
|
Management will ensure that project costs are properly reconciled and evaluated for aging
balances on a quarterly basis. |
Account Reconciliations
|
|
|
Management will complete the on-going implementation of software tools to track the
account reconciliation process. |
|
|
|
|
Management will institute the processes necessary to ensure the timely completion of
account reconciliations supported by a sub-ledger or other independent documentation or
calculation. |
|
|
|
|
Management will dedicate appropriate resources to ensure thorough and timely reviews of
account reconciliations and resolution of aged balances and reconciling items. |
The effectiveness of these control changes has not been fully evaluated as of September 26,
2008.
31
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
As discussed above, as of September 26, 2008, we identified material weaknesses in our
internal control over project cost variances and account reconciliations. We are currently
addressing these material weaknesses and expect to have these material weaknesses remediated by

Investors should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors which

forth under Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K.
