PROSPECTUS
539,195 Shares of Class A Common Stock

(919) 767-3250
This
prospectus relates solely to the issuance of up to an aggregate of 539,195 shares of our
Class A common stock upon the exercise of warrants issued in
September 2004 by Stratex Networks, Inc., or Stratex, assumed
by us upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Formation,
Contribution and Merger Agreement, or the combination agreement, among us, Harris Corporation, or
Harris, Stratex Merger Corp., or Merger Sub, and Stratex, dated as of
December 18, 2006 as amended by that certain letter agreement
dated January 26, 2007.
Under the combination agreement, on January 26, 2007, our wholly owned subsidiary, Merger Sub,
merged with and into Stratex, and Harris simultaneously contributed its Microwave Communications
Division and cash to the combined company. In the merger, we issued one-fourth of a share of Class
A common stock for each outstanding share of Stratex common stock
held by Stratex stockholders. In addition, we
issued shares of our Class B common stock to Harris in connection with its contribution of the
Microwave Communications Division and cash which represented 57% of our outstanding common stock
immediately following the merger and Harris contribution.
The warrants are currently exercisable for an aggregate of 539,195 shares of Class A common
stock at an exercise price of $11.80 per share of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise.
If all of the warrants were exercised on a cash basis, the aggregate net proceeds would be
approximately $6,362,501. We intend to use any net proceeds received from the exercise of the
warrants on a cash basis for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The
Class A common stock of Harris Stratex is listed on the
NASDAQ Global Market with the symbol HSTX.
THE SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. SEE RISK FACTORS

all of the information that is important to you. Unless otherwise indicated in this prospectus or
the context otherwise requires, all references to Harris Stratex we, us, our or the
combined company mean Harris Stratex Networks, Inc.; all references to Stratex mean Stratex

Corporation.
Our Company
Under
the terms of the combination agreement, Harris and Stratex agreed to create Harris Stratex for the purpose of combining the
Harris Microwave Communications Division with Stratex. To that end,
on January 26, 2007 Stratex merged with Merger
Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Harris Stratex and newly formed Delaware corporation, and, as the
surviving entity in that merger, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Harris Stratex. Each
of the 98,932,459 shares of
Stratex common stock outstanding immediately prior to the time the
merger took effect,
at a market price per share of $4.69,
was converted
into one-fourth of a share of Class A common stock of Harris
Stratex,
or approximately 24,733,114 shares at a market price per share of
$18.76.
Simultaneously with the merger of Stratex and Merger Sub, Harris contributed the assets
comprising its Microwave Communications Division, including $32.1 million in cash, to Harris
Stratex (other than certain identified assets which will be leased from Harris by Harris Stratex
for lease payments aggregating $7.1 million)
and was issued 32,850,965 shares of Class B common stock. In addition, Harris allocated, as appropriate and
reasonably practicable, its liabilities between its Microwave Communications Division and any other
businesses or divisions of Harris and, following such allocation, Harris Stratex assumed those
liabilities of Harris that primarily result from or primarily arise out of the Microwave
Communications Division. The liabilities of the Microwave Communications Division that were
assumed by Harris Stratex in the contribution transaction include the approximately $90,705,000 of
liabilities at September 29, 2006 identified on the Combined Balance Sheets of the Microwave
Communications Division beginning on page F-3 of this prospectus. The approximately $3,074,000 of
liabilities at September 29, 2006 due to Harris identified on the Combined Balance Sheets of the
Microwave Communications Division beginning on page F-3 of this prospectus were canceled in
connection with the contribution transaction. In addition, Harris Stratex assumed any contingent
liabilities of the Microwave Communications Division, which by their nature are not quantifiable
and may not be identifiable, in accordance with the second sentence of this paragraph.
The
shares Harris and the former stockholders of Stratex received in the transaction represented
approximately 57% and 43%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of Harris Stratex immediately
after the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and
Stratex (or approximately 56.1% and 43.9% of the outstanding
shares determined on a fully diluted basis using the treasury stock method and the closing price
for the shares on January 16, 2007).

Megabits per second (Mbps). In addition to Stratexs product offerings, it provides network
planning, design and installation services and work closely with its customers to optimize
transmission networks. Stratexs product Eclipse® is a wireless platform that combines low and
high capacity, as well as high power capability, into a single, common product platform designed to
significantly lower the total cost of ownership of wireless networks over the product life. With a
single platform,
1
Eclipse® requires fewer parts, less rack space and fewer spare parts than the combination of
our current radio products and the non-radio components supplied by other equipment suppliers,
which are required for a complete installation.
Harris
Stratex expects to conduct the businesses of Stratex and the Microwave Communications Division
substantially as formerly conducted by Stratex and Harris, respectively; however, Harris Stratex
anticipates that it will integrate the businesses and will pursue supply chain efficiencies through
increased production volume, rationalize the product portfolio, eliminate duplicate administrative
and overhead costs, outsource some products to low-cost manufacturers, and adopt a common
engineering design process.

RISK FACTORS
Harris Stratex is subject to a number of risks that could affect its future financial results.
Some of these risks are discussed below. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the
only ones facing Harris Stratex. If any of these risks actually occur, Harris Stratexs financial
condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Related to the Combination of Stratex with the Microwave Communications Division
The combination of the businesses conducted by the Microwave Communications Division and Stratex
creates numerous risks and uncertainties which could adversely affect Harris Stratexs operating
results.
Strategic transactions like the combination of the Microwave Communications Division with
Stratex create numerous uncertainties and risks. The Microwave Communications Division will
transition from being a part of Harris to being a part of Harris Stratex, and Stratex will migrate
from being a standalone company to being part of a combined company. This combination entails many
changes, including the integration of the Microwave Communications Division and its personnel with
those of Stratex, and changes in systems and employee benefit plans. These transition activities
are complex, and Harris Stratex may encounter unexpected difficulties, or incur unexpected costs,
including:
|
|
|
the diversion of managements attention to integration matters; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in achieving expected cost savings associated with the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and Stratex; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in the integration of operations and systems; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in the assimilation of employees; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in replacing the support functions previously provided by Harris to the
Microwave Communications Division, including support and assistance for financial and
operational functions; |
|
|
|
|
challenges in keeping existing customers and obtaining new customers; and |
|
|
|
|
challenges in attracting and retaining key personnel. |
As a result, Harris Stratex may not be able to realize the expected revenue growth and other
benefits that it seeks to achieve from the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and Stratex.
In addition, Harris Stratex may be required to spend additional time or money on integration that
otherwise would be spent on the development and expansion of its business, production and services.
Uncertainties associated with the combination of the Microwave Communications
Division and Stratex may cause Harris Stratex to lose significant
customers.
As a result of the combination of Stratex and the Microwave Communications Division, current
and potential customers of Harris Stratex may delay or defer decisions concerning their use of the
products and services of the combined company. In particular, Stratexs license agreement with
Alcatel S.A for the sale of the Eclipse® product by Alcatel can be terminated by Alcatel upon a
change of control of Stratex. Harris Stratex has not received notice from any of its customers of
intent to terminate its contract in response to the combination. Neither Stratex nor Microwave
Communications Division received notice from a customer of intent to terminate its contract in
response to the transactions contemplated by the combination agreement. However, if customers
elect to terminate their contracts, the financial condition of Harris Stratex may be materially adversely
affected.
Loss of key personnel could lead to loss of customers and a decline in revenues, or otherwise
adversely affect the operations of Harris Stratex.
The success of Harris Stratex will depend in part upon its ability to retain its key
employees. Competition for qualified personnel in the microwave communications industry may be very
intense. In addition, key employees may depart because of issues relating to the difficulty of, or
uncertainty regarding, the integration of the businesses, as a result of provisions in their
employment agreements which trigger severance payments upon events or circumstances resulting in a
change of control such as the proposed merger or
3
because of uncertainties relating to their future compensation and benefits. If Harris
Stratex is unable to attract and retain qualified individuals or Harris Stratexs costs to do so
increase significantly, Harris Stratexs business could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to the Relationship between Harris and Harris Stratex
Harris Stratex will be controlled by Harris, whose interests may conflict with those of other
stockholders.
Harris owns no shares of Harris Stratex Class A common stock but all of the outstanding shares
of Harris Stratex Class B common stock through which it has an approximate 57% interest in the
combined company (without regard to any dilution relating to outstanding stock options, warrants or
other equity interests). In addition, Harris has the right to appoint separately as a class five of
the nine directors of Harris Stratex so long as the shares of Harris Stratex common stock held by
Harris entitle Harris to cast a majority of the votes at an election of the directors of Harris
Stratex (other than those directors appointed by Harris separately as a class). For two years from
the closing date of the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and Stratex, Harris has agreed
that it will not acquire or dispose of beneficial ownership in shares of Harris Stratex common
stock, except under limited circumstances, and has no obligation to dispose of its interest in
Harris Stratex following such two year period. Accordingly, Harris is likely to continue to
exercise significant influence over the business policies and affairs of Harris Stratex, including
the composition of Harris Stratexs board of directors and any action requiring the approval of
Harris Stratexs stockholders. The concentration of ownership also may make some transactions,
including mergers or other changes in control, more difficult or impossible without the support of
Harris. Harris interests may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the risk factor
discussed in Harris will have rights reflecting its controlling interest in Harris Stratex. As a
result, your ability to influence the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval will be
limited below.
Harris Stratex is a controlled company within the meaning of the NASDAQ rules and, as a result,
qualifies for, and intends to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements
that are designed to provide protection to stockholders of companies that trade on NASDAQ.
Harris owns more than 50% of the total voting power of the outstanding capital stock of Harris
Stratex. Therefore, Harris Stratex qualifies as a controlled company under the NASDAQ rules. As a
controlled company, Harris Stratex intends to utilize exemptions under the NASDAQ standards that
free it from the obligation to comply with some governance requirements under the NASDAQ rules,
including the following:
|
|
|
a majority of its board of directors consists of independent directors; |
|
|
|
|
its director nominees must either be selected, or recommended for selection by the board of directors, either by: |
|
|
|
|
a majority of the independent directors; or |
|
|
|
|
a nominations committee comprised solely of independent directors; and |
|
|
|
|
the compensation of its officers be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by: |
|
|
|
a majority of the independent directors; or |
|
|
|
|
a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors. |
Harris Stratex intends to use these exemptions and, as a result, you will not have the same
protection afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NASDAQ corporate
governance requirements.
Harris has rights reflecting its controlling interest in Harris Stratex. As a result, the ability
of the stockholder to influence the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval will be
limited.
Harris holds a majority of the securities outstanding and is entitled to vote generally in the
election of Harris Stratex directors (other than those directors elected separately as a class by
Harris). In addition, as the only holder of the outstanding Harris Stratex Class B common stock,
Harris will have the unilateral right to elect, remove and replace, at any time, a majority of the
board of directors of Harris Stratex so long as the members elected, removed or replaced by Harris
satisfy the requirements agreed to by Stratex and Harris and set forth in the investor agreement
relating to the combination of the Microwave Communications Division
and Stratex. More specifically, Harris has agreed
4
that, so long as it holds a majority of the voting common stock of Harris Stratex, it will
have the right to appoint five of Harris Stratexs nine directors and, until the second anniversary
of the combination of Stratex with the Microwave Communications Division, at least one of the
Harris directors will meet the NASDAQ independence standards for audit committee members and at
least one other Harris director will not be an employee of Harris or any of its subsidiaries (other
than Harris Stratex or its subsidiaries). After the second anniversary, Harris will be able to
elect or replace all the Harris directors without regard to their relationship with Harris.
Harris right to vote a majority of the outstanding voting stock of Harris Stratex will also
enable it to control decisions without the consent of other Harris Stratex stockholders, including
among others, with respect to:
|
|
|
the business direction and policies of Harris Stratex; |
|
|
|
|
mergers or other business combinations involving Harris Stratex, except during the first two years after the closing; |
|
|
|
|
the acquisition or disposition of assets by Harris Stratex; |
|
|
|
|
the payment or nonpayment of dividends; |
|
|
|
|
determinations with respect to tax returns; |
|
|
|
|
the combined companys capital structure; and |
|
|
|
|
amendments to Harris Stratexs certificate of incorporation and bylaws. |
In addition to the effects described above, Harris control position could make it more
difficult for Harris Stratex to raise capital or make acquisitions by issuing its own capital
stock. This concentrated ownership also might delay or prevent a change in control and may impede
or prevent transactions in which Harris Stratex stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for
their shares.
Harris Stratex may have potential conflicts of interest with Harris relating to their ongoing
relationship, and because of Harris controlling ownership in Harris Stratex, the resolution of
these conflicts may not be favorable to Harris Stratex.
Conflicts of interest may arise between Harris Stratex and Harris in a number of areas
relating to their ongoing relationship, including:
|
|
|
indemnification and other matters arising under the combination agreement or other agreements; |
|
|
|
|
intellectual property matters; |
|
|
|
|
employee recruiting and retention; |
|
|
|
|
competition for customers in the areas where Harris is permitted to do business under the non-competition agreement; |
|
|
|
|
sales or distributions by Harris of all or any portion of its ownership interest in
Harris Stratex, which could be to a competitor of Harris Stratex; |
|
|
|
|
business combinations involving Harris Stratex; and |
|
|
|
|
business opportunities that may be attractive to both Harris and Harris Stratex. |
Harris Stratex may not be able to resolve any potential conflicts with Harris, and, even if it
does, the resolution may be less favorable to Harris Stratex than if it were dealing with an
unaffiliated party.
The investor agreement between Harris and Harris Stratex relating to the combination of
Stratex with the Microwave Communications Division provides that Harris and its affiliates are only
permitted to enter into a transaction with Harris Stratex if the transaction is approved by a
majority of the non-Harris directors or is on terms no less favorable in any material respect to
Harris Stratex than those that could have been obtained by Harris Stratex, taking into
consideration the then prevailing facts and
5
circumstances, if it had negotiated with an informed, unrelated third party. However, if a
transaction has a fair market value of more than $5 million, it must also be approved in advance by
a majority of the non-Harris directors. There are limited exceptions to these arrangements.
Pursuant to the terms of the non-competition agreement between Harris and Harris Stratex
relating to the combination of Stratex with the Microwave Communications Division, Harris has
agreed in general terms that, for five years following the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and
Stratex, it will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries
(other than Harris Stratex and its subsidiaries) to, engage in the development, manufacture,
distribution and sale of microwave radio systems that are competitive
with the products previously offered by
Stratex and the Microwave Communications Division or substantially similar to those products in
form, fit and function when used in terrestrial microwave point-to-point communications networks
that provide access and trunking of voice and data for telecommunications networks. Notwithstanding
this restriction, Harris is permitted to purchase and resell products produced by and branded by
persons unaffiliated with Harris and to develop, manufacture, distribute and sell microwave radios
and related components for use by government entities.
See
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
beginning on page 69 of this
prospectus and the risk factor discussed in Neither Harris nor any of its affiliates will have
any fiduciary obligation or other obligations to offer corporate opportunities to Harris Stratex,
and the certificate of incorporation of Harris Stratex and investor agreement to be entered into by
Harris Stratex and Harris relating to the combination of the Microwave Communications Division
and Stratex expressly permit certain directors or
employees of Harris Stratex to offer certain corporate opportunities to Harris before Harris
Stratex below.
So long as Harris holds a majority of the securities outstanding and entitled to vote generally in
the election of Harris Stratex directors (other than those directors elected separately as a class
by Harris), it will have the right to preserve its control position by participating in equity
offerings by the combined company.
At any time that Harris holds a majority of the securities outstanding and entitled to vote
generally in the election of Harris Stratex directors (other than those directors elected
separately as a class by Harris), subject to limited exceptions, Harris has the right to
participate in any offering of capital stock by Harris Stratex including grants of equity to
employees on the same terms and conditions as the offering and purchase up to that number of shares
of Harris Stratex capital stock necessary to preserve its then voting percentage in the combined
company. As a result, Harris will be able to maintain its control position in Harris Stratex as
long as it is able, and elects, to participate in any offering of capital stock by Harris Stratex.
Neither
Harris nor any of its affiliates has any fiduciary obligation or other obligation to
offer corporate opportunities to Harris Stratex, and the certificate of incorporation of Harris
Stratex and investor agreement entered into by Harris Stratex and
Harris relating to the combination of Stratex with the Microwave
Communications Division expressly permit certain directors or employees of Harris Stratex to offer
certain corporate opportunities to Harris before Harris Stratex.
The certificate of incorporation of Harris Stratex and the investor agreement between Harris
and Harris Stratex relating to the combination of Stratex with the Microwave Communications
Division provide that:
|
|
|
except (1) as otherwise provided in the non-competition agreement between Harris and
Harris Stratex relating to the combination of Stratex with the Microwave Communications
Division or (2) opportunities offered to an individual who is a director or officer of both
Harris Stratex and Harris in writing solely in that persons capacity as an officer or
director of Harris Stratex, Harris is free to compete with Harris Stratex in any activity or
line of business; invest or develop a business relationship with any person engaged in the
same or similar activities or businesses as Harris Stratex; or do business with any customer
of Harris Stratex; or employ any former employee of Harris Stratex; |
|
|
|
|
neither Harris nor its affiliates have any duty to communicate its or their knowledge of
or offer any potential business opportunity, transaction or other matter to Harris Stratex
unless the opportunity was offered to the individual who is a director or officer of both
Harris Stratex and Harris in writing solely in that persons capacity as an officer or
director of Harris Stratex; and |
|
|
|
|
if any director or officer of Harris who is also an officer or director or Harris Stratex
becomes aware of a potential business opportunity, transaction or other matter (other than
one expressly offered to that director or officer in writing solely in his or her capacity
as a director or officer of Harris Stratex), that director or officer will have no duty to
communicate or offer that opportunity to Harris Stratex, and will be permitted to
communicate or offer that opportunity to Harris (or its affiliates), and |
6
|
|
|
that director or officer will not be deemed to have acted in bad faith or in a manner
inconsistent with the best interests of Harris Stratex or in a manner inconsistent with his or
her fiduciary or other duties to Harris Stratex. |
The board of directors of Harris Stratex includes at least one person who is also a director
and/or an officer of Harris. As a result, Harris may gain the benefit of corporate opportunities
that are presented to this director.
In certain circumstances, Harris is permitted to engage in the same types of businesses that
Harris Stratex conducts. If Harris elects to pursue opportunities in these areas, Harris
Stratexs ability to successfully operate and expand its business may be limited.
The non-competition agreement restricts Harris and its subsidiaries ability to compete with
Harris Stratex for five years following the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and
Stratex in specified lines of
business related to the former business operations of Stratex and the Microwave Communications Division. However, the non-competition
agreement does not restrict Harris from competing in a limited number of specific areas in which
Harris Stratex will operate, such as the development, manufacture and sale of wireless systems for
use by government entities and the purchase and resale of non-Harris-branded wireless systems.
Following the five-year term, there will be no restriction on Harris ability to compete with
Harris Stratex. If Harris elects to pursue opportunities in these areas or re-enters the business
from which it is prohibited following the five-year term of the non-competition agreement, our
ability to successfully operate and expand its business may be limited. For more information
regarding the non-competition agreement, see the Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
- The
Non-Competition Agreement beginning on page 71 of this prospectus.
Sales by Harris of its interest in Harris Stratex could result in offers for shares of Class A
common stock the terms of which have been negotiated solely by Harris and could adversely affect
the price and liquidity of Harris Stratex Class A common stock.
Harris is not permitted to buy or sell Harris Stratex common stock until the second
anniversary of the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and
Stratex, except
with the consent of the non-Harris directors of Harris Stratex or to enable Harris to preserve its
percentage interest in Harris Stratexs outstanding common stock. From the second to the fourth
anniversary of the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and Stratex, Harris is
free to transfer majority control of Harris Stratex to a buyer, at a price and on terms acceptable
to Harris in its sole discretion so long as the buyer offers to acquire all outstanding voting
shares of Harris Stratex capital stock not owned by Harris on the same terms offered to Harris or
the non-Harris directors approve the transfer by Harris in advance. However, non-Harris
stockholders of Harris Stratex will have no role in determining the identity of the buyer and the
amount and type of consideration to be received or any other terms of the transaction. If equity
securities of the buyer are offered or if non-Harris stockholders elect not to accept the buyers
offer, their continuing investment would be in a company that may be majority-controlled by a
company or an investor selected only by Harris.
In addition, pursuant to the combination agreement, Harris Stratex has registered for resale
to the public shares of common stock which are held by Harris as a result of the combination
agreement. Sales of registered shares of Harris Stratex by Harris, or the perception that such
sales might occur, could depress the trading price of Harris Stratex Class A common stock.
Risks Relating to the Operation of Harris Stratex
Harris Stratex may not be profitable.
Stratex and the Microwave Communications Division have in recent years regularly incurred
losses. Stratex has incurred losses for the last five fiscal years, and the Microwave
Communications Division incurred losses for the last five fiscal years. In fiscal 2006, Stratex
incurred a loss of $2.3 million, and, as of September 30,
2006, Stratex had an accumulated deficit
of $412.6 million. In fiscal 2006, the Microwave Communications Division incurred a loss of $35.8
million. Although the Microwave Communication Division had net income of $5.1 million for the three
months ended September 29, 2006, there can be no assurances that Harris Stratex will be consistently
profitable, if at all.
Harris
Stratex faces strong competition for maintaining and improving its position in the
market which could adversely affect Harris Stratexs revenue growth and operating results.
The wireless interconnection and access business is a specialized segment of the wireless
telecommunications industry and is extremely competitive. Harris Stratex expects competition in
this segment to increase. Some of Harris Stratexs competitors have more extensive engineering,
manufacturing and marketing capabilities and significantly greater financial, technical and
personnel
7
resources than Harris Stratex will have. In addition, some of Harris Stratexs competitors
have greater name recognition, broader product lines, a larger installed base of products and
longer-standing customer relationships. Harris Stratexs competitors include established companies,
such as Alcatel, L.M. Ericsson, NEC, Nokia, Ceragon Networks and Siemens AG, as well as a number of
smaller public companies and private companies in selected markets. Some of Harris Stratexs
competitors are also base station suppliers through whom it will market and sell its products,
which means that Harris Stratexs business success may depend on these competitors to some extent.
One or more of Harris Stratexs largest customers could internally develop the capability to
manufacture products similar to those manufactured or outsourced by Harris Stratex and, as a
result, the demand for Harris Stratexs products and services may decrease.
In addition, Harris Stratex competes for acquisition and expansion opportunities with many
entities that have substantially greater resources than the combined company will have.
Furthermore, competitors of Harris Stratex may enter into business combinations in order to
accelerate product development or to engage in aggressive price reductions or other competitive
practices, resulting in even more powerful or aggressive competitors.
Harris Stratexs ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, including
price, quality, availability, customer service and support, breadth of product line, product
performance and features, rapid time-to-market delivery capabilities, reliability, timing of new
product introductions by Harris Stratex, its customers and competitors, the ability of its
customers to obtain financing and the stability of regional sociopolitical and geopolitical
circumstances. Harris Stratex can give no assurances that it will have the financial resources,
technical expertise, or marketing, sales, distribution, customer service and support capabilities
to compete successfully, or that regional sociopolitical and geographic circumstances will be
favorable for the successful operation of the combined company.
Harris Stratexs average sales prices may decline in the future.
Manufacturers of digital microwave telecommunications equipment are experiencing,
and are likely to continue to experience, declining sales prices. This price pressure is likely to
result in downward pricing pressure on the products and services of Harris Stratex. As a result,
Harris Stratex is likely to experience declining average sales prices for its products. Harris
Stratexs future profitability will depend upon its ability to improve manufacturing efficiencies,
reduce costs of materials used in its products, and to continue to introduce new lower cost
products and product enhancements. If Harris Stratex is unable to respond to increased price
competition this will harm its business, financial condition and results of operations. Because
customers frequently negotiate supply arrangements far in advance of delivery dates, Harris Stratex
may be required to commit to price reductions for its products before it is aware of how, or if,
cost reductions can be obtained. As a result, current or future price reduction commitments, and
any inability on its part to respond to increased price competition, could harm Harris Stratexs
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Because a significant amount of the revenues of Harris Stratex may come from a limited number of
customers, the termination of any of these customer relationships may adversely affect Harris
Stratexs business.
Sales of the products and services of Stratex and the Microwave Communications Division
historically have been concentrated to a small number of customers. The following table summarizes
the number of customers of Stratex and the Microwave Communications Division that have represented
over 10% of sales for the periods identified, along with the percentage of revenues represented by
such customers.

Harris Stratex expects that a significant portion of Harris Stratexs future product sales
also may be concentrated among a limited number of customers. In addition, product sales to major
customers have varied widely from period to period. The loss of any existing customer, a
significant reduction in the level of sales to any existing customer, or Harris Stratexs inability
to gain additional customers could result in declines in revenues compared to the combined
historical revenues of Stratex and the Microwave Communication Division or an inability to grow
revenues. If these revenue declines occur or if the combined company is unable to create revenue
growth, Harris Stratexs business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely
affected.
Harris Stratex may be subject to litigation regarding intellectual property associated with
Harris Stratexs wireless business; this litigation could be costly to defend and resolve, and
could prevent the combined company from using or selling the challenged technology.
The wireless telecommunications industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit
of intellectual property rights, which has resulted in often protracted and expensive litigation.
Any litigation regarding patents or other intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming
and could divert Harris Stratexs management and key personnel from the combined companys business
operations. The complexity of the technology involved and the uncertainty of intellectual property
litigation increase these risks. Such litigation or claims could result in substantial costs and
diversion of resources. In the event of an adverse result in any such litigation, Harris Stratex
could be required to pay substantial damages, cease the use and transfer of allegedly infringing
technology or the sale of allegedly infringing products and expend significant resources to develop
non-infringing technology or obtain licenses for the infringing technology. Harris Stratex can give
no assurances that Harris Stratex would be successful in developing such non-infringing technology
or that any license for the infringing technology would be available to Harris Stratex on
commercially reasonable terms, if at all. This could have a materially adverse effect on Harris
Stratexs business, results of operation, financial condition, competitive position and prospects.
As a subsidiary of Harris, Harris Stratex may have the benefit of one or more existing
cross-license agreements between Harris and certain third parties, which may help protect Harris
Stratex from infringement claims. At such time as Harris Stratex ceases to be a subsidiary of
Harris, those benefits would be lost.
Due to the significant volume of international sales expected by Harris Stratex, Harris Stratex
may be susceptible to a number of political, economic and geographic risks that could harm its
business.
Harris Stratex will be highly dependent on sales to customers outside the United States. In
fiscal 2006, sales by Stratex and the Microwave Communications Division to international customers
accounted for 95% and 60%, respectively, of total net sales. During fiscal 2005 and 2004, sales to
international customers accounted for 94% and 96% of Stratexs net sales, respectively, and 50% and
57% of the Microwave Communication Divisions net sales, respectively. In fiscal 2006, 2005 and
2004, sales to the Middle East/Africa region accounted for approximately 28%, 25% and 33% of
Stratexs net sales, respectively. In fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, sales to the Middle East/Africa
region accounted for approximately 30%, 23% and 30% of the Microwave Communication Divisions net
sales, respectively. Also, significant portions of Stratexs and the Microwave Communications
Divisions international sales are in less developed countries. International sales will continue
to account for a large percentage of Harris Stratexs net product sales for the foreseeable future.
As a result, the occurrence of any international, political, economic or geographic event that
adversely affects Harris Stratexs business could result in a significant decline in revenues.
Some of the risks and challenges of doing business internationally include:
|
|
|
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; |
9
|
|
|
imposition of tariffs and other barriers and restrictions; |
|
|
|
|
management and operation of an enterprise spread over various countries; |
|
|
|
|
burden of complying with a variety of foreign laws and regulations; |
|
|
|
|
application of the income tax laws and regulations of multiple jurisdictions, including
relatively low-rate and relatively high-rate jurisdictions, to Harris Stratexs sales and
other transactions, which results in additional complexity and uncertainty; |
|
|
|
|
general economic and geopolitical conditions, including inflation and trade relationships; |
|
|
|
|
war and acts of terrorism; |
|
|
|
|
natural disasters; |
|
|
|
|
currency exchange controls; and |
|
|
|
|
changes in export regulations. |
If Harris Stratex fails to develop and maintain distribution and licensing relationships, its
revenues may decrease.
Although a majority of sales are anticipated to be made through Harris Stratexs direct sales
force, Harris Stratex will also market its products through indirect sales channels such as
independent agents, distributors, and telecommunication integrators. These relationships will
enhance Harris Stratexs ability to pursue major contract awards and, in some cases, are intended
to provide Harris Stratexs customers with easier access to financing and a greater variety of
equipment and service capabilities which an integrated system provider should be able to offer.
Harris Stratex may not be able to maintain and develop additional relationships or, if additional
relationships are developed, they may not be successful. Harris Stratexs inability to establish or
maintain these distribution and licensing relationships could restrict its ability to market its
products and thereby result in significant reductions in revenue. If these revenue reductions
occur, Harris Stratexs business, financial condition and results of operations would be harmed.
The inability of Harris Stratexs subcontractors to perform, or its key suppliers to manufacture
and deliver materials, could cause its products to be produced in an untimely or unsatisfactory
manner, or not at all.
Harris Stratexs manufacturing operations, which will be substantially subcontracted, are
highly dependent upon the delivery of materials by outside suppliers in a timely manner. Also,
Harris Stratex will depend in part upon subcontractors to assemble major components and subsystems
used in Harris Stratexs products in a timely and satisfactory manner. Harris Stratex generally
will not enter into long-term or volume purchase agreements with any of its suppliers, and Harris
Stratex cannot provide assurances that such materials, components and subsystems will be available
for use by Harris Stratex at such time and in such quantities as Harris Stratex requires, if at
all. In addition, Stratex and the Microwave Communications Division have historically obtained some
of their supplies from a single source. If these suppliers are unable to provide supplies and
products to Harris Stratex because they are no longer in business or because they discontinue a
certain supply or product needed by Harris Stratex, Harris Stratex may not be able to fill orders
placed by its customers on a timely basis or at all. Harris Stratexs inability to develop
alternative sources of supply quickly and on a cost-effective basis could materially impair its
ability to manufacture and timely deliver its products to its customers. Harris Stratex cannot give
assurances that it will not experience material supply problems or component or subsystem delays in
the future. Also, Harris Stratexs subcontractors may not be able to maintain the quality of its
products, which might result in a large number of product returns by customers and could harm
Harris Stratexs business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additional risks associated with the outsourcing of Harris Stratexs manufacturing operations
to corporations located in Taiwan and their subsidiary in the Peoples Republic of China could
include, among other things: political risks due to political issues between Taiwan and The
Peoples Republic of China, risk of natural disasters in Taiwan, such as earthquakes and typhoons,
economic and regulatory developments, and other events leading to the disruption of manufacturing
operations.
10
Consolidation within the telecommunications industry could result in a decrease in Harris
Stratexs revenues.
The telecommunications industry has experienced significant consolidation among its
participants, and Harris Stratex expects this trend to continue. Some operators in this industry
have experienced financial difficulty and have filed, or may file, for bankruptcy protection. Other
operators may merge and one or more of Harris Stratexs competitors may supply products to the
customers of the combined company following those mergers. This consolidation could result in
purchasing decision delays and decreased opportunities for Harris Stratex to supply products to
companies following any consolidation. This consolidation may also result in lost opportunities for
cost reduction and economies of scale. In addition, see the risk factor discussed in Because a
significant amount of the revenues of Harris Stratex may come from a limited number of customers,
the termination of any of these customer relationships may adversely affect Harris Stratexs
business above.
Harris Stratexs success will depend on new product introductions and acceptance.
The market for Harris Stratexs products is characterized by rapid technological change,
evolving industry standards and frequent new product introductions. Harris Stratexs future success
will depend, in part, on continuous, timely development and introduction of new products and
enhancements that address evolving market requirements and are attractive to customers. Harris
Stratex believes that successful new product introductions provide a significant competitive
advantage because of the significant resources committed by customers in adopting new products and
their reluctance to change products after these resources have been expended. Stratex and the
Microwave Communications Division have spent, and Harris Stratex expects to continue to spend,
significant resources on internal research and development to support its effort to develop and
introduce new products and enhancements. To the extent that Harris Stratex fails to introduce new
and innovative products that are adopted by customers, it could fail to obtain an adequate return
on these investments and could lose market share to Harris Stratexs competitors, which could be
difficult or impossible to regain.
Harris Stratexs customers may not pay for products and services in a timely manner, or at all,
which would decrease Harris Stratexs income and adversely affect Harris Stratexs working
capital.
Harris Stratexs business will require extensive credit risk management that may not be
adequate to protect against customer nonpayment. Risks of nonpayment by customers will be a
significant focus of Harris Stratexs business. Harris Stratex expects a significant amount of
future revenue to come from international customers, many of whom will be start-up telecom
operators in developing countries. Harris Stratex does not generally expect to obtain collateral
for sales, although it intends to require letters of credit or credit insurance as appropriate for
international customers. In addition, a significant amount of the revenues of Stratex and the
Microwave Communications Division have been generated from a small number of significant customers.
For information regarding the percentage of revenues attributable to certain key customers, see
Because a significant amount of the revenues of Harris Stratex may come from a limited number of
customers, the termination of any of these customer relationships may adversely affect Harris
Stratexs business above. The historical accounts receivable balances of Stratex and the Microwave
Communications Division have been concentrated in a small number of significant customers.
Unexpected adverse events impacting the financial condition of customers, bank failures or other
unfavorable regulatory, economic or political events in the countries in which Harris Stratex does
business may impact collections and adversely impact Harris Stratexs business, require increased
bad debt expense or receivable write-offs and adversely impact Harris Stratexs cash flows,
financial condition and operating results.
Rapid changes in the microwave radio industry and the frequent introduction of lower cost
components for Harris Stratexs product offerings may result in excess inventory that Harris
Stratex cannot sell or may be required to sell at distressed prices, and may result in longer
credit terms to Harris Stratexs customers.
The rapid changes and evolving industry standards that characterize the market for Harris
Stratexs products require the frequent modification of products for an industry participant to be
successful. These rapid changes could result in the accumulation of component inventory parts that
become obsolete as modified products are introduced and adopted by customers. Stratex and the
Microwave Communications Division have experienced significant inventory write-offs in recent
years, and because of the rapid changes that characterize the market, Harris Stratex also may be
forced to write down excess inventory from time to time. Moreover, these same factors may force
Harris Stratex to significantly reduce prices for older products or extend more and longer credit
terms to customers, which could negatively impact its cash and possibly result in higher bad debt
expense. More generally, Harris Stratex cannot give assurances that it will be successful in
matching its inventory purchases with anticipated shipment volumes. As a result, Harris Stratex may
fail to control the amount of inventory on hand and may be forced to write-off additional amounts.
Such additional inventory write-offs, if required, would adversely impact Harris Stratexs cash
flows, financial condition and operating results.
11
The unpredictability of Harris Stratexs quarter-to-quarter results may harm the trading price of
Harris Stratexs Class A common stock.
Harris Stratexs quarterly operating results may vary significantly in the future for a
variety of reasons, many of which are outside of Harris Stratexs control. These factors could harm
Harris Stratexs business and include, among others:
|
|
|
volume and timing of Harris Stratexs product orders received and delivered during the quarter; |
|
|
|
|
Harris Stratexs ability and the ability of its key suppliers to respond to changes on demand as needed; |
|
|
|
|
suppliers inability to perform and timely deliver as a result of their financial
condition, component shortages or other supply chain constraints; |
|
|
|
|
continued market expansion through strategic alliances; |
|
|
|
|
continued timely rollout of new product functionality and features; |
|
|
|
|
increased competition resulting in downward pressures on the price of Harris Stratexs products and services; |
|
|
|
|
unexpected delays in the schedule for shipments of existing products and new generations of the existing platforms; |
|
|
|
|
failure to realize expected cost improvement throughout Harris Stratexs supply chain; |
|
|
|
|
order cancellations or postponements in product deliveries resulting in delayed revenue recognition; |
|
|
|
|
seasonality in the purchasing habits of customers; |
|
|
|
|
war and acts of terrorism; |
|
|
|
|
natural disasters; |
|
|
|
|
ability of Harris Stratexs customers to obtain financing to enable their purchase of Harris Stratexs products; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; |
|
|
|
|
regulatory developments including denial of export and import licenses; and |
|
|
|
|
general economic conditions worldwide. |
Harris Stratexs quarterly results are expected to be difficult to predict and delays in
product delivery or closing of a sale can cause revenues and net income to fluctuate significantly
from anticipated levels. In addition, Harris Stratex may increase spending in response to
competition or in pursuit of new market opportunities. Accordingly, Harris Stratex cannot provide
assurances that it will be able to achieve profitability in the future or that if profitability is
attained, that Harris Stratex will be able to sustain profitability, particularly on a
quarter-to-quarter basis.
If Harris Stratex is unable to protect its intellectual property rights adequately, it may be
deprived of legal recourse against those who misappropriate Harris Stratexs intellectual
property.
Harris Stratexs ability to compete will depend, in part, on its ability to obtain and enforce
intellectual property protection for its technology in the United States and internationally.
Harris Stratex will rely upon a combination of trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, patents and
contractual rights to protect its intellectual property. In addition, Harris Stratex will enter
into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with its employees, and enters into
non-disclosure agreements with its suppliers and appropriate customers so as to limit access to and
disclosure of its proprietary information. Harris Stratex cannot give assurances that any steps
taken by Harris Stratex will be adequate to deter misappropriation or impede independent third
party development of similar technologies. In the event that such intellectual property
arrangements are insufficient, Harris Stratexs business, financial condition and results of
operations could be harmed. Harris Stratex will have significant operations in the United States,
United Kingdom and
12
New Zealand, and outsourcing arrangements in Asia. Harris Stratex cannot provide assurances
that the protection provided to its intellectual property by the laws and courts of foreign nations
will be substantially similar to the protection and remedies available under United States law.
Furthermore, Harris Stratex cannot provide assurances that third parties will not assert
infringement claims against it based on foreign intellectual property rights and laws that are
different from those established in the United States.
If sufficient radio frequency spectrum is not allocated for use by Harris Stratexs products, and
Harris Stratex fails to obtain regulatory approval for its products, its ability to market its
products may be restricted.
Radio communications are subject to regulation by United States and foreign laws and
international treaties. Generally, Harris Stratexs products will need to conform to a variety of
United States and international requirements established to avoid interference among users of
transmission frequencies and to permit interconnection of telecommunications equipment. Any delays
in compliance with respect to Harris Stratexs future products could delay the introduction of such
products.
In addition, Harris Stratex will be affected by the allocation and auction of the radio
frequency spectrum by governmental authorities both in the United States and internationally. Such
governmental authorities may not allocate sufficient radio frequency spectrum for use by Harris
Stratexs products or Harris Stratex may not be successful in obtaining regulatory approval for its
products from these authorities. Historically, in many developed countries, the unavailability of
frequency spectrum has inhibited the growth of wireless telecommunications networks. In addition,
to operate in a jurisdiction, Harris Stratex must obtain regulatory approval for its products. Each
jurisdiction in which Harris Stratex will market its products has its own regulations governing
radio communications. Products that support emerging wireless telecommunications services can be
marketed in a jurisdiction only if permitted by suitable frequency allocations, auctions and
regulations. The process of establishing new regulations is complex and lengthy. If Harris Stratex
is unable to obtain sufficient allocation of radio frequency spectrum by the appropriate
governmental authority or obtain the proper regulatory approval for its products, its business,
financial condition and results of operations may be harmed.
If Harris Stratex is unable to favorably assess the effectiveness of its internal controls over
financial reporting, Harris Stratex may not be able to accurately report its financial results. As
a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in Harris Stratexs financial
reporting, which could adversely affect its stock price.
Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for Harris Stratex to
provide reliable financial reports. Pursuant to Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002, or the SOX Act, and beginning with Harris Stratexs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ending June 27, 2008, Harris Stratex management will be required to certify to and report on,
and its independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to, the
effectiveness of Harris Stratexs internal controls over financial reporting as of June 27, 2008.
If Harris Stratex fails to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, its
operating results could be misstated, its reputation may be harmed and the trading price of its
stock could be negatively impacted. As described in Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Stratex, Stratex determined there were two
material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as defined in standards
established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB. In general, a material
weakness (as defined in PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 2) is a significant deficiency, or combination
of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement in the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In
fiscal 2006, Stratex devoted significant resources to improve its internal controls related to
these material weaknesses. Stratex believes that these efforts have remediated the concerns that
gave rise to the material weakness related to revenue recognition. However, due to the assessment
of Stratexs internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, Stratex had
identified the continuation of a material weakness in the review of the financial statements of
foreign operations and the period-end financial close and reporting process for Stratexs
consolidated operations. Historically, Harris has only been required to certify or report on or
receive an attestation from its independent registered public accounting firm with respect to
Harris, taken as a whole, and not the Microwave Communications Division in particular. Stratex and
the Microwave Communications Division have recently reviewed,
documented and
tested their internal controls over financial reporting. Harris Stratex will continue reviewing its
internal controls over the financial close and reporting process, and will implement additional
controls as needed. However, Harris Stratex cannot be certain that its controls over its financial
processes and reporting will be adequate in the future, and, to the extent that Harris Stratex
incurs significant additional expenses in complying with these provisions of the SOX Act, those
expenses have not been anticipated and are not otherwise reflected in the unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated financial data of Harris Stratex contained in this prospectus. Any failure
to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could cause Harris Stratex to
prepare inaccurate financial statements, subject Harris Stratex to a misappropriation of assets or
cause Harris Stratex to fail to meet its SEC reporting obligations on a timely basis, which could
materially adversely affect the trading price of the Class A common stock.

Harris Stratex does not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and investors must
rely on increases in the trading prices of the Harris Stratex Class A common stock for returns on
their investment.
Harris Stratex does not expect to pay dividends in the immediate future. Holders of Harris
Stratex Class A common stock must rely on increases in the trading price of their shares for
returns on their investment.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We intend to use the net proceeds from the cash exercise of the warrants for working capital
and general corporate purposes.
PRICE RANGE OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK
No
public market existed for our Class A common stock prior to the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and
Stratex.
DIVIDEND POLICY
Harris Stratex does not expect to pay any dividends in the immediate future. Harris Stratex
has retained a $50 million credit facility of Stratex following the completion of the merger and
contribution transaction, and the covenants of that credit facility restrict Harris Stratex
from paying dividends or making other distributions to the Harris Stratex stockholders under
certain circumstances. Harris Stratex also may enter into other credit facilities or debt financing
arrangements that further limit Harris Stratexs ability to pay dividends or make other
distributions.

condition and results of operations, including per share data, of Harris Stratex after giving
effect to the merger and the contribution transaction. The table sets forth selected unaudited pro

merger and the contribution transaction took place on that date with MCD as the accounting acquirer
of Stratex in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141

2006 combines the three months ended September 30, 2006 and twelve months ended June 30, 2006,
respectively, for both MCD and Stratex. However, the following pro forma presentation does not

Business Considerations
General
MCD is a leading global wireless transmission networks solutions provider focused on providing
microwave communications products, systems and services for private network operators and mobile
telecommunications providers. MCDs three segments serve markets for microwave products and
services in MCDs North American region (North America microwave), microwave products and services
in MCDs international region (International microwave) and network management software solutions
worldwide (NetBoss). MCD generates revenue, income and cash flows by developing, manufacturing and
selling microwave communications products and network management software as well as providing
related services. MCD generally sells products and services directly to its customers. MCD utilizes
agents and distributors to sell some products and services, especially in international markets.
For more information relating to the customers of MCD, see Business Customers beginning on page
56 of this prospectus.
Financial information with respect to corporate expenses that were not allocated to MCDs
three business segments is reported as part of Corporate Allocations Expense.
Value Drivers of MCDs Businesses and Strategy for Achieving Value
MCD is committed to its mission statement, and MCD believes that executing the mission
statement creates value. Consistent with this commitment, MCD currently focuses on these key value
drivers:
21
|
|
|
Continue profitable revenue growth in all segments; |
|
|
|
|
Ongoing attention to operating efficiencies and cost reductions; |
|
|
|
|
Maintain an efficient capital structure. |
Continuing Profitable Revenue Growth in All Segments
MCD plans to capitalize on its strength in the North American market by continuing to win
opportunities with public telecommunications providers as well as Federal, state and other private
network operators to meet increasing demand for capacity requirements and the demand for
high-reliability, high-bandwidth networks that are more secure and better protected against natural
and man-made disasters; increase its international revenue by offering new products and expanding
regional sales channels to penetrate major regional mobile telecom operators; and continue to offer
engineering and other professional services for network planning, systems architecture design and
project management as a global competitive advantage.
Focusing on Operating Efficiencies and Cost Reductions
MCDs principal focus areas for operating efficiencies and cost management are: reducing
procurement costs through an emphasis on coordinated supply chain management; reducing product
costs through dedicated engineering resources focused on product design; improving manufacturing
efficiencies across all segments; and optimizing facility utilization.
Maintaining an Efficient Capital Structure
MCDs capital structure is intended to optimize its cost of capital. MCD had $14.4 million in
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2006 and had $1 million of cash
flows used in operating activities during fiscal 2006.
Key Indicators
MCD believes its value drivers, when implemented, will improve its key indicators such as: net
income, revenue, gross profit margin, operating cash flows, total assets as a percentage of revenue
and total equity as a percentage of revenue.
See Operations Review below for more information.
Industry-Wide Opportunities, Challenges and Risks
Global trends and developments in the microwave communications markets include:
|
|
|
Continuing build-out of new networks in emerging markets to meet rapid subscriber growth; |
|
|
|
|
Increasing demand for microwave communications due to build-outs for third-generation, or
3G, services rapidly increasing the number of cell sites; |
|
|
|
|
Increasing demand to support capacity needs for new triple-play services; |
|
|
|
|
Continuing fixed-line to mobile-line substitution; |
|
|
|
|
Private networks and public telecommunications operators building high-reliability,
high-bandwidth networks that are more secure and better protected against natural and
man-made disasters; |
|
|
|
|
Continuing global mobile operator consolidation; and |
|
|
|
|
The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, mandate for a 2 GHz relocation project in calendar 2007. |
MCD management believes that its experience and capabilities are well aligned with, and that
it is positioned to capitalize on, the market trends noted above. While MCD believes that these
developments generally will have a positive impact on its business, MCD remains subject to general
economic conditions that could adversely affect its customers. MCD also remains subject to other
risks
22
associated with these markets, including technological uncertainties, slow market adoption of
digital radio or any of MCDs new products and other risks which are discussed under Information
Relating to Forward-Looking Statements included elsewhere
in this prospectus and Risk Factors beginning on page 3 of this prospectus.

MCDs revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was $93.6 million, an increase of 24.3
percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal
2007 was $5.1 million compared to $1.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Revenue
increased in the North America microwave, International microwave and NetBoss segments by 9.3
percent, 52.5 percent and 11.5 percent, respectively. TRuepoint is now MCDs premier product line
and sales of the product continue to increase, which lead to the increase in revenue. Due to the
TRuepoints product line having higher margins than other MCD legacy product lines, overall
margins and net income increased over the prior-year quarter.

MCDs engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased from $19.5 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2006 to $24.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. As a percentage
of revenue, these expenses were relatively flat, increasing slightly from 25.9 percent in the first
quarter of fiscal 2006 to 26.1 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase in
engineering, selling, and administrative expenses is primarily related to a $1.8 million gain on
the sale of a building in San Antonio, Texas in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and increased
selling costs related to the 24.3 percent increase in sales. See -Discussion of Business
Segments below for further information.

North America microwave segment revenue increased 9.3 percent from the first quarter of fiscal
2006 to the first quarter of fiscal 2007. This segment had operating income of $1.9 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to $6.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The
strengthening market for microwave radios primarily drove the increase in revenue. Demand in the
North America microwave segment was driven primarily by mobile operators that are upgrading and
expanding networks for high bandwidth voice, data and video services and by private networks
upgrading for increased reliability, survivability and interoperability.
The decrease in operating income was primarily due to a change in product mix due to two key
customers buying a large volume of radios at lower margins compared to the first quarter of fiscal
2006 combined with increased engineering, selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter
of fiscal 2007 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2006 due to higher selling expenses.
Orders in the North America microwave segment decreased 10 percent from $48.6 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2006 to $43.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in
orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 when compared to fiscal 2006 is due to timing of large
awards from customers that took longer to pass through the buyers procurement cycle than normal,
which is expected to recover in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Significant orders received in
this segment during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 included $6.1 million from U.S. Cellular and
$4.9 million from the City of Oakland.

International microwave segment revenue increased 52.5 percent from the first quarter of
fiscal 2006 to the first quarter of fiscal 2007. This segment had operating income of $5.0 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to an operating loss of $3.3 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2006. The success of this segments TRuepoint radio products and a strengthening
market for microwave radios primarily drove the increase in revenue. International order rates
increased, particularly in Africa.
24
The increase in operating income was primarily due to improved gross margins in the first
quarter of fiscal 2007 as a result of increased shipments of the TRuepoint product line. This
increase was partially offset by increased engineering, selling and administrative expenses in the
first quarter of fiscal 2007 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2006 due to an increase
of selling expenses.
Orders in the International microwave segment increased 42 percent from $31.9 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2006 to $45.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Demand in the
International microwave segment increased significantly during the first quarter of fiscal 2007,
driven by network expansions for a diverse and growing customer base throughout West Africa, East
Africa, and the Middle East. Major orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 came from regional
operators in Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, Iraq and Mexico. MCD also received the first order from a
major European telecommunications systems integrator for high-capacity TRuepoint(R)radios for a
large 3G operator in Indonesia, with follow-on requirements expected in the second quarter of
fiscal 2007. During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, MCD also secured a five-year supplier
agreement with Africas largest mobile phone operator, MTN Group. MCD will supply digital microwave
radios for backhaul and access applications across MTNs extensive networks in Africa.

NetBoss segment revenue increased 11.5 percent from the first quarter of fiscal 2006 to the
first quarter of fiscal 2007. This segment had operating income of $0.3 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase
in revenue was due to increased orders. The increase in operating income was driven by increased
revenue combined with a decrease in engineering, selling and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales.
Orders in the NetBoss segment increased 72 percent from $3.7 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2006 to $6.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The significant increase in orders
was primarily due to two major orders from CFE Mexico and MTC Kuwait, both for system expansion.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
MCDs cash and cash equivalents increased by $0.6 million to $14.4 million at the end of the
first quarter of fiscal 2007, primarily due to $2.6 million of cash and other transfers from Harris
Corporation. This increase was partially offset by $1.0 million of cash used in operating
activities and $1.3 million of software and plant and equipment additions.
Management currently believes that existing cash, funds generated from operations, and access
to the public and private debt and equity markets will be sufficient to provide for MCDs
anticipated requirements for working capital, and capital expenditures for the next 12 months and
the foreseeable future. MCD expects tax payments over the next three years to approximate its tax
expense during the same period. No other significant cash payments are anticipated in fiscal 2007
and thereafter, other than those noted in the -Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial
Strategies-Contractual Obligations discussion below.
25
There can be no assurance, however, that MCDs business will continue to generate cash flow at
current levels, or that anticipated operational improvements will be achieved. If MCD is unable to
maintain cash balances or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service its obligations,
MCD may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, or obtain financing. MCDs ability
to make scheduled principal payments or pay interest on or refinance any future indebtedness
depends on its 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 MCDs control.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
MCDs net cash used in operating activities was $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2007 compared to $7.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The improvement in cash flow was
primarily due to higher profitability on increased sales and a decrease in inventories and unbilled
costs, which was partially offset by a decrease in advanced payments and unearned income, and a
decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to
the first quarter of fiscal 2006. MCD has enhanced its focus on reducing inventory and increasing
cash collections.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
MCDs net cash used in investing activities was $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2007 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $3.2 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2006. Net cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was due to
$1.1 million additions of capitalized software and $0.2 million additions of plant and equipment.
Net cash provided by investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 was primarily due to
$4.6 million proceeds from the sale of land and building in San Antonio, Texas. This was partially
offset by $0.9 million additions of capitalized software and $0.5 million additions of plant and
equipment.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
MCDs net cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was $2.6
million compared to $1.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The net cash provided by
financing activities for MCD is primarily from net cash transfers from Harris Corporation.

Fiscal 2006 Compared with Fiscal 2005
MCDs revenue for fiscal 2006 was $357.5 million, an increase of 15.2% compared to fiscal
2005. Net loss for fiscal 2006 was $35.8 million compared to fiscal 2005 net loss of $3.8 million.
Fiscal 2006 revenue increased in both the North America microwave and International microwave
segments by 5.2% and 35.4% from June 2005, respectively. The increase was partially offset by a
decrease in revenue in the NetBoss segment of 26.9% from June 2005.
MCDs net loss of $35.8 million in fiscal 2006 included the impact of $39.6 million in
charges, related to the International microwave segment, associated with product discontinuances
and a shutdown of manufacturing activities in Montreal, Canada. Corporate allocations expense
increased from $6.2 million in fiscal 2005 to $12.4 million in fiscal 2006. Corporate allocations
expense in fiscal 2006 included the impact of a $5.4 million charge associated with a legal
settlement related to arbitration with a Nigerian customer of the Wireless Local Loop business unit
that was previously discontinued.

Fiscal 2005 Compared with Fiscal 2004
MCDs revenue for fiscal 2005 was $310.4 million, a decrease of 5.9% compared to fiscal 2004.
Revenue decreased in the International microwave segment, which was partially offset by increased
revenue in the North America microwave and NetBoss segments. Net loss for fiscal 2005 was $3.8
million compared to $20.2 million in fiscal 2004.
Operating income from all three of MCDs segments improved in fiscal 2005 when compared to
fiscal 2004 and corporate allocations expense decreased from $6.8 million in fiscal 2004 to $6.2
million in fiscal 2005. See -Discussion of Business Segments below for further information.

Fiscal 2006 Compared with Fiscal 2005
MCDs gross margin (revenue less cost of product sales and services) as a percentage of
revenue was 24.1% in fiscal 2006 compared to 29.1% in fiscal 2005. Gross margins decreased due to
$35.0 million, or 9.8% of revenue, of inventory write-downs and other charges associated with
product discontinuances and the shutdown of manufacturing activities at the Montreal, Canada plant.
Gross margins benefited from increased shipments of TRuepoint, a new family of lower-cost
microwave radios. See -Discussion of Business Segments below for further information.
Fiscal 2005 Compared with Fiscal 2004
MCDs gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 29.1% in fiscal 2005 compared to 25.4% in
fiscal 2004. Gross margins increased due to increased shipments of TRuepoint, a new family of
lower-cost microwave radios, and a shift away from lower-margin international projects. Gross
margin as a percent of revenue increased in the International microwave segment, which was
partially offset by decreased gross margins in the North America microwave and NetBoss segments.

Fiscal 2006 Compared with Fiscal 2005
Engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased from $87.8 million in fiscal 2005
to $102.3 million in fiscal 2006. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses increased from 28.3%
in fiscal 2005 to 28.6% in fiscal 2006. The increase in engineering, selling, and administrative
expenses in whole dollars, as well as a percentage of revenue, is primarily related to $4.8 million
of severance and other costs recorded in fiscal 2006 related to the shutdown of manufacturing
activities at the Montreal, Canada plant and product discontinuances, stock-based compensation
expense and increased selling costs related to the 15.2% increase in sales. See -Discussion
of Business Segments below for further information.
27
Research and product development costs, which are included in engineering, selling and
administrative expenses, were $18.9 million in fiscal 2006, compared to $19.2 million in fiscal
2005. The decrease was primarily due to higher spending in the prior year related to MCDs new
TRuepoint family of microwave radios.
Fiscal 2005 Compared with Fiscal 2004
MCDs engineering, selling and administrative expenses decreased from $97.1 million in fiscal
2004 to $87.8 million in fiscal 2005. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses decreased from
29.4% to 28.3%. The decrease was primarily due to cost-reduction actions taken in fiscal 2004
related to the successful transfer of TRuepoint production from Montreal, Canada to San Antonio,
Texas as well as the consolidation of administrative and support functions at our Morrisville,
North Carolina location. See -Discussion of Business Segments below for further
information.
Research and product development costs, which are included in engineering, selling and
administrative expenses, were $19.2 million in fiscal 2005, compared to $20.8 million in fiscal
2004. The decrease was primarily due to a relatively high level of spending on the development of
MCDs TRuepoint family of microwave radios in fiscal 2004.

Fiscal 2006 Compared with Fiscal 2005
North America microwave segment revenue increased 5.2% from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006. This
segment had operating income of $16.9 million in fiscal 2006 compared to operating income of $10.3
million in fiscal 2005. The strengthening market for microwave radios primarily drove the increase
in revenue. Demand for both private networks and mobile service providers continued to be driven by
capacity expansion and by network upgrades to provide high-reliability, high-bandwidth
applications.
The increase in operating income was primarily due to increased shipments in fiscal 2006 of
TRuepoint, a family of lower-cost microwave radios. This was partially offset by increased
engineering, selling and administrative expenses in fiscal 2006 when compared to fiscal 2005 as a
result of increased selling expenses and stock and cash based compensation plan expenses.
28
Orders in the North America microwave segment increased 25% from $159 million in fiscal 2005
to $199 million in fiscal 2006. Significant orders received in this segment during fiscal 2006
included a $14 million order from the Commonwealth of Kentucky as part of a state-wide, three-year,
program to transition the Kentucky Early Warning System from analog to digital technology using
TRuepoint radios and various other large orders from private network and major mobile
telecommunications providers in North America.
Fiscal 2005 Compared with Fiscal 2004
North America microwave segment revenue increased 3.7% from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005. The
segment operating income increased from $3.6 million in fiscal 2004 to $10.3 million in fiscal
2005. Significant orders during the year included an on-going network project for the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, a major order with a large defense contractor in support of an
international communications project, and various private network and mobile telecommunications
providers in North America.
The fiscal 2004 operating income of $3.6 million included a charge of $2.8 million associated
with cost-reduction actions related to the consolidation of administrative and support functions at
our Morrisville, North Carolina location.

Fiscal 2006 Compared with Fiscal 2005
International microwave segment revenue increased 35.4% from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006. This
segment had an operating loss of $34.1 million in fiscal 2006 compared to an operating loss of
$11.9 million in fiscal 2005. The success of this segments TRuepoint radio products and a
strengthening market for microwave radios primarily drove the increase in revenue. International
order rates increased, particularly in Africa.
The increase in operating loss was primarily due to $39.6 million of inventory write-downs and
severance costs associated with product discontinuances and the shut-down of manufacturing
activities in Montreal, Canada. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, MCD successfully
completed the release of the TRuepoint product family, which is its product offering for the low-
and mid-capacity microwave radio market segments. In light of the market acceptance of this product
family, as demonstrated by TRuepoint product sales, management announced during the second quarter
of fiscal 2006 a manufacturers discontinuance, or MD, of the MicroStar M/H, MicroStar L and
Galaxy product families (the product families the TRuepoint product line was developed to
replace) and of the ClearBurst product family, a product line that shared manufacturing facilities
with the MicroStar and the Galaxy product lines in Montreal, Canada. In November 2005, letters
were sent to MicroStar, Galaxy and ClearBurst customers, informing them of the MD announcement.
MCD estimated expected demand for these products based on responses to the letters noted above
and a percentage of the installed base, using previous product MD history as a basis for this
estimate. In addition, the customer service inventory of these discontinued products was reviewed
and quantities required to support existing warranty obligations and contractual obligations were
quantified. These analyses identified inventory held in multiple locations including Montreal,
Canada; Redwood Shores, California; San Antonio, Texas; Paris, France; Mexico City, Mexico; São
Paulo, Brazil; and Shenzhen, China. As a result of these analyses, $34.0 million of inventory was
written down in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Also, $5.6 million of severance and other costs
were recorded in fiscal 2006 related to the shutdown of manufacturing activities at the Montreal,
Canada plant and product discontinuances. The inventory reserved in the second quarter of fiscal
2006 has been subsequently disposed of or scrapped. No additional material costs or charges are
expected to be incurred in connection with these product discontinuances.
The decrease in gross margins and operating losses associated with the product discontinuances
noted above was partially offset by improved gross margins in fiscal 2006 as a result of increased
shipments of TRuepoint. Engineering, selling and administrative
29
expenses increased in fiscal 2006 when compared to fiscal 2005 as a result of increased
selling expenses and stock and cash based compensation plan expenses.
Orders in the International microwave segment increased 22% from $153 million in fiscal 2005
to $186 million in fiscal 2006. Significant orders received in this segment during fiscal 2006
included $58 million in orders from VMobile Nigeria as part of a contract to provide radios for its
transmission and transport network spanning more than 5,000 kilometers. Significant international
orders were also received from customers in Nigeria, Canada, Mexico, Kenya, Ivory Coast, Romania,
Brazil and Zambia.
Fiscal 2005 Compared with Fiscal 2004
International microwave segment revenue decreased 18.6% from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005. The
segment improved from an operating loss of $17.5 million in fiscal 2004 to an operating loss of
$11.9 million in fiscal 2005. Strength in international markets came from the Middle East, Africa,
Europe and improved Latin American markets. The decline in revenue was primarily attributable to
the revenue generated in fiscal 2004 from the build out of a large mobile telecom network for MTN
Nigeria.
Gross margins and operating losses in the International microwave segment improved in fiscal
2005 as a result of increased shipments of TRuepoint, a new family of lower-cost microwave radios,
and a shift away from lower-margin international projects. Engineering, selling and administrative
expenses were lower in fiscal 2005 when compared to fiscal 2004 due to cost-reduction actions taken
during fiscal 2004. The fiscal 2004 operating loss of $17.5 million included a charge of $4.5
million associated with cost-reduction actions related to the successful transfer of TRuepoint
production from Montreal, Canada to San Antonio, Texas. TRuepoint orders and sales accelerated
during fiscal 2005.
Fiscal 2005 significant international orders were received from customers in Nigeria, Brazil,
Mexico, Ivory Coast, Jordan, and Indonesia. MCD also received orders in fiscal 2005 from several
new channel partners in Italy and China.

Fiscal 2006 Compared with Fiscal 2005
NetBoss® segment revenue decreased 26.9% from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006. This segment had
operating income of $1.1 million in fiscal 2006 compared to operating income of $4.4 million in
fiscal 2005. The decrease in revenue and operating income was due to obtaining the majority of the
revenue through customer add-ons and software maintenance as opposed to adding major new customers.
Orders in the NetBoss® segment decreased 14% from $23.4 million in fiscal 2005 to $17 million
in fiscal 2006. Significant orders received in this segment during fiscal 2006 included MTC Kuwait,
Norkring Norway, New Hampshire State Police, Cimmeron Telephone and Syniverse.
Fiscal 2005 Compared with Fiscal 2004
NetBoss® segment revenue increased 20.3% from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005. This segment had
operating income of $4.4 million in fiscal 2005 compared to operating income of $0.7 million in
fiscal 2004. The increase in revenue and operating income was due to large new customer projects,
an increase in software maintenance revenue, completing work on major NetBoss® integration
projects, and releasing bad debt reserves associated with America Movil Brazil upon customer
payment.
Significant orders received in this segment during fiscal 2005 included Tekelec Reseller
(Verizon Wireless, Telmex, Telemar), Radiocommunicatii in Romania, Comisión Federal de Energía in
Mexico, MTN Nigeria and DPOC (a U.S. government entity).

Cash and Cash Equivalents
MCDs cash and cash equivalents increased by $6.0 million to $13.8 million at the end of
fiscal 2006, primarily due to $19.5 million of cash provided by operating activities and $4.6
million of proceeds from the sale of land and building in San Antonio, Texas. These increases were
partially offset by $12.8 million of software and plant and equipment additions and $5.0 million of
cash and other transfers to Harris Corporation.
MCD management currently believes that existing cash, funds generated from operations will be
sufficient to provide for MCDs anticipated requirements for working capital, and capital
expenditures for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. If required, Harris Stratex would
access the public and/or private debt and equity markets to fund its operations. MCD expects tax
payments over the next three years to approximate its tax expense during the same period. No other
significant cash payments by MCD are anticipated in fiscal 2007 and thereafter, other than those
noted in the -Contractual Obligations discussion below in this MD&A of MCD.
There can be no assurance, however, that MCDs business will continue to generate cash flow at
current levels, or that anticipated operational improvements will be achieved. If MCD is unable to
maintain cash balances or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service its obligations,
MCD may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, or obtain financing. MCDs ability
to make scheduled principal payments or pay interest on or refinance any future indebtedness
depends on its 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 MCDs control.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
MCDs net cash provided by operating activities was $19.5 million in fiscal 2006 compared to
net cash used in operating activities of $4.3 million in fiscal 2005. The improvement in cash flow
was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable, accrued compensation and benefits and accrued
expenses associated with higher production volumes and increased incentive compensation and
commission accruals.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
MCDs net cash used in investing activities was $8.2 million in fiscal 2006 compared to $19.4
million in fiscal 2005. Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2006 was due to $9.6
million additions of plant and equipment and $3.2 million additions of capitalized software, which
was partially offset by $4.6 million proceeds from the sale of land and building in San Antonio,
Texas. Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2005 was primarily due to $9.3 million of
additions of plant and equipment and $10.1 million of additions of capitalized software.
The decrease in additions of capitalized software from $10.1 million in fiscal 2005 to $3.2
million in fiscal 2006 mainly relates to next generation software that was developed in the NetBoss
segment. MCDs total additions of capitalized software and property, plant and equipment in fiscal
2007 are expected to be in the $8 million to $10 million range.

Net Cash Provided by (used in) Financing Activities
MCDs net cash used in financing activities in fiscal 2006 was $5.9 million compared to net
cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 2005 of $24.9 million. The net cash provided by
(used in) financing activities for MCD is primarily from net cash transfers to and from Harris
Corporation.
Contractual Obligations
At June 30, 2006, MCD had contractual cash obligations to repay debt to purchase goods and
services and to make payments under operating leases. Payments due under these long-term
obligations are as follows:

Amounts do not include pension contributions and payments for various welfare and benefit
plans as such amounts have not been determined beyond fiscal 2006. In addition, amounts due to
or from Harris are not included as there is no obligation of Harris Stratex to pay those
amounts after the closing of the merger and the contribution transaction. |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In accordance with the definition under Securities and Exchange Commission rules, any of the
following qualify as off-balance sheet arrangements:
|
|
|
Any obligation under certain guarantee contracts; |
|
|
|
|
A retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or
similar entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk
support to that entity for such assets; |
|
|
|
|
Any obligation, including a contingent obligation, under certain derivative instruments;
and |
|
|
|
|
Any obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a material variable interest
held by the registrant in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity,
market risk or credit risk support to the registrant, or engages in leasing, hedging or
research and development services with the registrant. |
Currently, MCD is not participating in transactions that generate relationships with
unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including variable interest entities, and MCD
does not have any material retained or contingent interest in assets as defined above. As of June
30, 2006, MCD did not have material financial guarantees or other contractual commitments that are
reasonably likely to adversely affect liquidity. In addition, MCD is not currently a party to any
related party transactions that materially affect its results of operations, cash flows or
financial condition.
Certain properties leased by MCD have been sublet to third parties due to MCDs downsizing of
certain operations pursuant to restructuring plans or otherwise. In the event any of these third
parties vacate any of these premises, MCD would be legally obligated under the master lease
agreements. MCD believes that the financial risk of default by such sublessors is individually and
in the aggregate not material to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Commercial Commitments
MCD has entered into commercial commitments in the normal course of business including surety
bonds, standby letter of credit agreements and other arrangements with financial institutions and
customers primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts to provide
products and services to customers or to obtain insurance policies with its insurance carriers. At
June 30, 2006, MCD had commercial commitments on outstanding letters of credit, guarantees and
other arrangements, as follows:

Financial Risk Management
MCD uses foreign exchange contracts and options to hedge both balance sheet and off-balance
sheet future foreign currency commitments. Generally, these foreign exchange contracts offset
foreign currency denominated inventory and purchase commitments from suppliers; accounts receivable
from, and future committed sales to, customers; and intercompany loans. MCD believes the use of
foreign currency financial instruments should reduce the risks that arise from doing business in
international markets. At June 30, 2006, MCD had open foreign exchange contracts with a notional
amount of $19.4 million, of which $7.1 million were classified as cash flow hedges and $12.3
million were classified as fair value hedges. This compares to total foreign exchange contracts
with a notional amount of $34.5 million as of July 1, 2005, of which $26.9 million were classified
as cash flow hedges and $7.6 million were classified as fair value hedges. At June 30, 2006,
contract expiration dates ranged from less than one month to 11 months with a weighted average
contract life of less than a month.
More specifically, the foreign exchange contracts classified as cash flow hedges are primarily
being used to hedge currency exposures from anticipated cash flow expenses related to MCDs Mexican
office. As of June 30, 2006, MCD estimated that a pre-tax loss of $0.1 million would be
reclassified into earnings from comprehensive income within the next 11 months related to these
cash flow hedges.
The net gain included in MCDs earnings in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 representing the amount
of fair value and cash flow hedges ineffectiveness was not material. No amounts were recognized in
MCDs earnings in fiscal 2006, 2005, and 2004 related to the component of the derivative
instruments gain or loss excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. In addition, no
amounts were recognized in MCDs earnings in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 related to hedged firm
commitments that no longer qualify as fair value hedges. All of these derivatives were recorded at
their fair value on the balance sheet in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, or Statement
133.
Factors that could impact the effectiveness of MCDs 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 MCDs foreign currency
derivatives held at June 30, 2006 would have an impact of approximately $1.1 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 MCDs foreign denominated assets, liabilities and firm commitments.
Impact of Foreign Exchange
The impact of translating the assets and liabilities of these operations to U.S. dollars is
included as a component of division equity. At June 30, 2006, the cumulative translation adjustment
decreased division equity by $1.4 million compared to a reduction of $14.2 million at July 1, 2005.
MCD 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 MCDs results in fiscal 2006, 2005 or 2004.
33
Impact of Inflation
To the extent feasible, MCD 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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The following is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of MCDs accounting policies
or estimates. MCDs significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1:
Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Combined
Financial Statements beginning on page F-7 of this prospectus. In preparing the financial statements and accounting for the
underlying transactions and balances, MCD applies its accounting policies and estimates as
disclosed in such Notes. MCD considers the estimates discussed below as critical to an
understanding of its financial statements because their application places the most significant
demands on MCDs judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimates about the effect
of matters that are inherently uncertain. Specific risks for these critical accounting estimates
are described in the following paragraphs. The impact and any associated risks related to these
estimates on MCDs business operations are discussed throughout this MD&A where such estimates
affect MCDs reported and expected financial results. Senior management of MCDs parent company,
Harris Corporation, has discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting policies
and estimates and the related disclosure included herein with the Audit Committee of its Board of
Directors. Preparation of this prospectus requires MCD to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of MCDs financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Besides estimates that meet the critical accounting estimate criteria, MCD makes many other
accounting estimates in preparing its financial statements and related disclosures. All estimates,
whether or not deemed critical, affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and
expenses as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are based on
experience and other information available prior to the issuance of the financial statements.
Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes
known, including for estimates that MCD does not deem critical.
Provisions for Excess and Obsolete Inventory
MCD values its inventory at the lower of cost or market. MCD balances the need to maintain
prudent inventory levels to ensure competitive delivery performance with the risk of excess or
obsolete inventory due to changing technology and customer requirements. MCD regularly reviews
inventory quantities on hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based
primarily on its estimated forecast of product demand, anticipated end of product life and
production requirements. The review of excess and obsolete inventory primarily relates to all of
MCDs business segments. Several factors may influence the sale and use of MCDs inventories,
including decisions to exit a product line, technological change and new product development. These
factors could result in a change in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on hand.
Additionally, MCDs estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case
MCD may have understated or overstated the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. In
the future, if MCD determines that its inventory is overvalued, MCD would be required to recognize
such costs in Cost of product sales in its statement of operations income at the time of such
determination. Likewise, if MCD determines its inventory is undervalued, MCD may have overstated
Cost of product sales in previous periods and would be required to recognize such additional
income. MCD has not made any material changes in the reserve methodology used to establish its
inventory loss reserves during the past three fiscal years.
As of June 30, 2006, MCDs reserve for excess and obsolete inventory was $18.3 million, or
17.5% of the gross inventory balance, which compares to a reserve of $32.9 million, or 23.4% of the
gross inventory balance as of July 1, 2005. MCD recorded $53.8 million, $0.5 million and $0.1
million in inventory write-downs that either reduced the reserve for excess and obsolete inventory
or the pre-tax income during fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In fiscal 2006, MCD had
significant write-downs in inventory due to the discontinuance of legacy products in the
International microwave segment. Although MCD makes every reasonable effort to ensure the accuracy
of its forecasts of future product demand, including the impact of planned future product launches,
any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a
significant impact on the value of MCDs inventory and MCDs reported operating results.
34
Stock Options and Share-Based Compensation
Employees of MCD participate in the equity compensation program of its parent company, Harris
Corporation. Effective July 2, 2005, Harris adopted Statement 123R, which requires the measurement
and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payments made to employees, including
employee stock option, performance share, performance unit, restricted stock and restricted unit
awards based on estimated fair value. Harris previously applied the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, or APB 25, and related
interpretations and provided the required pro forma disclosures under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, or Statement 123.
Harris adopted Statement 123R using the modified prospective transition method beginning in
fiscal 2006. Accordingly, during fiscal 2006 MCD recorded stock-based compensation expense for
awards granted prior to but not yet vested as of the beginning of fiscal 2006 as if the fair value
method required for pro forma disclosure under Statement 123 were in effect for expense recognition
purposes adjusted for estimated forfeitures. For stock-based awards granted after the beginning of
fiscal 2006, MCD recognized compensation expense based on the estimated grant date fair value
method required under Statement 123R. The compensation expense for these awards was recognized
using a straight-line amortization method. MCDs net income for fiscal 2006 includes a stock-based
compensation expense of $1.7 million. As of June 30, 2006, the total unrecorded stock-based
compensation balance for unvested shares, net of expected forfeitures, was $1.7 million, which is
expected to be amortized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.
While fair value may be readily determinable for awards of stock, market quotes are not
available for long-term, nontransferable stock options because these instruments are not traded.
Harris currently uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of
stock options. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions,
including, but not limited to, stock price volatility and stock option exercise behavior. Harris
expects to continue to use the Black-Scholes- Merton model for valuing stock-based compensation
expense. However, the estimate of future stock-based compensation expense will be affected by a
number of items including stock price, the number of stock options granted in the future, as well
as a number of complex and subjective valuation assumptions and the related tax effect. These
valuation assumptions include, but are not limited to, the volatility of the Harris stock price,
expected life and stock option exercise behaviors. Harris has not made any material changes in the
methodologies used to determine the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options
during the past three fiscal years.
A change in any of these assumptions could affect the estimated fair value of any given grant
and cause MCDs results to be materially different. For example, a one-year increase in the
estimated term of the stock options granted during fiscal 2006 would have increased MCDs
compensation expense by $0.1 million in fiscal 2006 and a 400 basis-point increase in the assumed
volatility rate of the stock options granted during fiscal 2006 would have increased MCDs
compensation expense by $0.1 million in fiscal 2006. See Note 10: Stock Options and Share-Based
Compensation in the Notes to Combined Financial Statements
beginning on page F-15 of this
prospectus for further information related to stock options and share-based compensation.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
As described in Note 2: Accounting Changes or Recent Pronouncements in the Notes to Combined
Financial Statements beginning on page F-11 of this prospectus, there are accounting
pronouncements that have recently been issued but have not yet been implemented by MCD. Note 2
describes the potential impact that these pronouncements are expected to have on MCDs financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION OF ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION OF
STRATEX
The historical financial information discussed below is for Stratex and its subsidiaries, which
was a predecessor company prior to the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and
Stratex.
Business Overview
Stratex became a wholly owned subsidiary of Harris Stratex on January
26, 2007, and changed its name to Harris Stratex Networks Operating
Corporation.
Stratex designs, manufactures, markets and sells advanced wireless solutions for worldwide
mobile and fixed telephone network interconnection and access. Since its founding in 1984, Stratex
has introduced a number of innovative products in the telecommunications market and has delivered
wireless transmission systems for the transport of data, voice and video communication, including
comprehensive service and support. Stratex markets its products primarily to mobile wireless
carriers around the world. A significant percentage of Stratexs revenue is derived from sales
outside the United States. As a result, its revenues from sales of equipment and services outside
the United States were 97% in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, 95% in fiscal 2006, 94% in fiscal
2005 and 96% in fiscal 2004.
The following discussion and analysis pertains to periods when
Stratex was a stand-alone entity.
In fiscal 2006, Stratex continued to focus its efforts and made significant progress in
transitioning from its legacy products to the Eclipse business model. Stratex introduced some
initial products as part of its plan to roll out the next generation of Eclipse products. Its
results of operations improved significantly in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005. Stratex
achieved key milestones that it had been focusing on as part of its strategic plan.
As
indicated in the table below, Stratexs gross margins have shown
gradual improvement from
the beginning of 2006 through September 30, 2006.

Stratexs management believed that it accomplished these financial improvements mainly because of the
success of the expanding Eclipse product line and due to the streamlining of operations by taking
certain cost reduction measures over the past few years. Revenue from Eclipse products in fiscal
2006 was $134.5 million as compared to $39.6 million in fiscal 2005.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of Stratexs consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles has required Stratex to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of Stratexs consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses. By their nature, these estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent
degree of uncertainty. Stratex management based its estimates and judgments on historical
experience, market trends, and other factors believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. Stratex management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others,
have affected its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of Stratexs
consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Stratex has been recognizing revenue pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, or SAB 104, Revenue
Recognition. Accordingly, revenue is recognized when all four of the following criteria are met:
(i) persuasive evidence that the arrangement exists; (ii) delivery of the products and/or services
has occurred; (iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectibility is
reasonably assured.
In accordance with SAB 104, revenues from product sales have been generally recognized when title
and risk of loss has passed to the customer and the above criteria are met, except when product sales
are combined with significant post-shipment installation services. Under this exception, revenue
was deferred until the services have been performed. Installation service
revenue has been recognized when
the related services have been performed. When sales are made under payment terms beyond Stratexs normal
credit terms, revenue has been recognized only when cash is collected from the customer unless the sale
was covered by letters of credit or other bank guarantees. Revenue from service obligations under
maintenance contracts has been deferred by Stratex and recognized on a straight-line basis over the
contractual period, which is typically one year.
36
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, Stratex entered into a license agreement with Alcatel
for Eclipse software and products, which agreement obligates Alcatel to pay Stratex a license fee
based on the dollar value of Alcatels quarterly purchases from our contract manufacturers. A
minimum quarterly license fee is recognized as revenue in the fiscal quarter it is invoiced.
License fees in excess of the quarterly minimum are recognized as revenue in the quarter in which
they are invoiced, due and payable. The agreement includes additional support services that may be
provided by Stratex to Alcatel. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, 00-21
Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables Stratex has determined that revenue related to
these services should be recognized separately from the license fee and as and when the services
are performed.
Provision for Warranty
At the time Stratex recognized revenue, Stratex established an accrual for estimated warranty
expenses associated with its sales and records as a component of cost of sales. Stratexs
standard warranty period generally is 27 months from the date of
sale if the customer uses Stratex or
Stratexs approved installers to install the products; otherwise it is 15 months from the date of
sale. The warranty accrual was made based on forecasted returns and average cost of repair.
Forecasted returns have been based on trended historical returns. While Stratex believes that its
warranty accrual has been adequate and that the judgment applied was appropriate, the estimated amounts
could differ materially from actual results. If actual warranty costs exceed the accrued expense,
Stratexs cost of sales will increase. For more information regarding Stratexs warranty accrual
for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, see Note 9 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements of Stratex on page F-55 of this prospectus.
Inventories
Inventories
have been stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, where cost
includes material, labor, and manufacturing overhead. Stratex
regularly has monitored inventory
quantities on hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on
its forecast of future product demand and production requirements. Cost of sales included an excess
and obsolete inventory provision of $3.6 million for fiscal 2006 and $2.9 million for fiscal 2005.
Although Stratex has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of its forecasts of future product
demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could
significantly impact the value of Stratexs inventory and reported operating results. If actual
market conditions are less favorable than Stratexs assumptions, additional provisions for excess
and obsolete inventory may be required, which would increase reported cost of sales. Stratexs
estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case Stratex may have
understated or overstated the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. In the future,
if Stratexs inventory is determined to be overvalued, Stratex would be required to recognize such
costs in its cost of sales at the time of such determination. If Stratexs inventory is determined
to be undervalued, Stratex may have overstated its cost of sales in previous periods and would be
required to report lower cost of sales in a future period.
Stratex currently subcontracts substantially all of its manufacturing. Each month Stratex
provides its suppliers with a six-month forecast so they can secure parts with a substantial
manufacturing and delivery lead time in order to meet forecasted delivery schedules. Stratex is
generally obligated to pay for the items purchased by its suppliers based on such forecasts. If
actual demand for Stratexs products is less than forecasted, Stratex may have excess inventory,
which would be recorded as an additional provision component of cost of sales.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
Stratex
has been accounting for impairment or disposal of long-lived assets in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, or SFAS 144. SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, or SFAS 121, by requiring that one accounting
model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or
newly acquired, and by broadening the presentation of discontinued operations to include more
disposal transactions. Stratex has valued assets based on the fair value of the asset. In fiscal 2005,
Stratex recorded an impairment loss on property and equipment of $0.9 million. In fiscal 2006 and
the first quarter of fiscal 2007, there was no impairment loss recorded on long-lived assets by
Stratex.
37
Valuation of Intangible Assets
Stratex
has been accounting for intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, or SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 requires
that goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be
amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS No. 142 also requires that
intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful
lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No.
144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets. Stratex has been reviewing its
intangible assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable.
In fiscal 2004, Stratex acquired intangible assets of $2.4 million. Stratex was amortizing
these intangible assets over their estimated useful life of 18 months. During fiscal 2005, Stratex
reviewed its intangible assets for impairment and accelerated the amortization of the intangible
assets as Stratex concluded they were impaired. Stratex amortized the entire balance of intangible
assets in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. During fiscal 2006 and the first quarter of fiscal
2007, Stratex did not record any intangible assets.
Restructuring and Impairment Charges
Liability
for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity has been recognized by Stratex when
the liability was incurred in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities, or SFAS 146. Prior to December 31, 2002 Stratex accounted for
restructurings in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs
Incurred in a Restructuring), or EITF No. 94-3 and SAB No. 100, Restructuring and Impairment
Charges. Under EITF 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized by Stratex at the date of
its commitment to an exit plan. The restructuring accrual related to vacated properties was
calculated net of estimated sublease income Stratex expected to receive once it subleased the
properties that have been vacated. To determine the lease loss, certain assumptions were made
related to (1) the time period over which the buildings will remain vacant, (2) sublease terms, (3)
sublease rates and (4) an estimate of brokerage fees. The lease loss represents Stratex
managements estimate of time to sublease and actual sublease
rates. Sublease income was estimated
based on current market quotes for similar properties. If Stratex is unable to sublease these
properties on a timely basis or if Stratex is forced to sublease them at lower rates due to changes
in market conditions, Stratex would adjust the accrual accordingly. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may
affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amounts recognized. In
fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 Stratex recorded restructuring charges of $2.3 million and $4.0
million, respectively, for lease obligations related to buildings that were vacated in fiscal 2003
and fiscal 2002 primarily due to a change in the estimate of sublease income which was initially
estimated at the time the buildings were vacated.
Provision for Uncollectible Receivables
In establishing the appropriate provisions for trade and long-term receivables due from
customers, Stratex made assumptions with respect to their future collectibility. Such assumptions
were based on an individual assessment of a customers credit quality as well as subjective factors
and payment trends, including the aging of receivable balances and taking into consideration the
country in which the customer is located as over 90% of Stratexs customers are located outside of
the United States. Generally, these individual credit assessments
occured prior to the inception of
the credit exposure and at regular reviews during the life of the
exposure and considered:
|
|
|
a customers ability to meet and sustain its financial commitments; |
|
|
|
|
a customers current and projected financial condition; and |
|
|
|
|
the positive or negative effects of the customers current and projected industry outlook. |
Deferred Taxes
Stratex
has made estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial
statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occured in the calculation of tax assets and
liabilities that arose from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax
and financial statement purposes. Stratex assessed the likelihood
that it would be able to
recover its deferred tax assets. If recovery was not likely, Stratex
increased its provision for
taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax
assets that Stratex estimated
would not ultimately be recoverable. To the extent that Stratexs estimates regarding valuation
allowance were understated, additional charges to income tax expense would be recorded in the period
in which it determines the understatement. If Stratexs
estimates were overstated, income tax
benefits will be recognized when realized. As of June 30, 2006,
38
Stratex
believed that all the deferred tax assets recorded on the balance
sheet were not
realizable in the foreseeable future and Stratex had recorded a full valuation allowance. For
details regarding Stratexs deferred tax assets please see Note 10 in the Consolidated Financial
Statements of Stratex on page F-56 of this prospectus.
Results of Operations
Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2006 Versus Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2005
Revenues
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 increased to $67.3 million, compared to $56.6
million reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, and increased to $133.5 million for the
first half of fiscal 2007, compared to $111.4 million in the first half of fiscal 2006. Stratex
believes that this increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the demand for its newest
product line, Eclipse, as well as wireless subscriber growth and growth in fixed wireless
transmission infrastructures in developing geographic regions like Africa. Revenue from Eclipse
product accounted for 73% of Stratexs total revenue for the quarter as compared to 54% of the
total revenue in the second quarter of last fiscal year.
Revenue by geographic regions. The following table sets forth information on Stratexs sales
by geographic regions for the periods indicated (in thousands except percentages):

Revenue from Ghana, Tanzania, Other Africa, Other Asia/Pacific and Other Europe regions
increased significantly in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and the first half of fiscal 2007
compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and the first half of fiscal 2006, respectively. In
the current periods, Stratex received significant revenue from an existing customer in Ghana that
is expanding its network infrastructure, and significant revenue from one new major customer in
Tanzania that is expanding its networking capacity to allow for implementation of third generation
technology. Revenue in the Other Africa region increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2007
compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and also in the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to
the first half of fiscal 2006 primarily due to increased sales to existing customers that are also
expanding their existing networks. The increase in sales in the Other Europe region resulted
primarily from increased sales to an existing customer in Russia. The increase in sales in the
Other Asia/Pacific region was primarily due to increased sales to an existing customer in Sri
Lanka. Stratex experienced a significant decrease in revenue in Poland, Bangladesh and the Middle
East primarily because of decreased sales to a major customer in each location.

Net product revenues increased from $47.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 to
$57.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and from $95.6 million in the first half of
fiscal 2006 to $116.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2007 primarily due to a significant
increase in sales of the Eclipse product line. Sales of Stratexs Altium, XP4 and DXR product lines
decreased as demand for these products was replaced with the new Eclipse product line.
Stratex generated operating income in the product operating segment in the second quarter of
fiscal 2007 of $0.1 million compared to an operating loss of $2.2 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2006 primarily because of higher margins on the Eclipse product line. The increased
operating income included stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million due to the adoption of
SFAS No. 123(R) effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, and $1.5 million of expenses
incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 related to the proposed combination with Microwave
Communications Division. Operating income in the product operating segment of $1.3 million in the
first half of fiscal 2007 compared to an operating loss of $6.2 million in the first half of fiscal
2006 was attributable to the same factors and items. The stock based compensation recorded in the
first half of fiscal 2007 due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) was $2.1 million.

Service revenue consists of installation, network design, path surveys, integration, and other
revenues derived from the services that Stratex provides to its customers. There was no significant
change in field service revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the second quarter
of fiscal 2006, but operating income improved from 7% to 12% mainly due to the spreading of fixed
field service costs over higher revenue levels. Field service revenue increased by 13% in the first
half of fiscal 2007 compared to the first half of fiscal 2006. Operating income also improved
significantly due to the spreading of fixed costs.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 31% in the second quarter of fiscal
2007, compared to 27% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 primarily due to a favorable product mix
impact of approximately 2%, including increased sales of the higher margin Eclipse products.
The increase in gross margin in the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to the first half of
fiscal 2006 resulted primarily from a favorable product mix impact of approximately 3% attributable
to Eclipse product sales. In addition, manufacturing period costs had a favorable impact of
approximately 1% on the gross profit for the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to the first half
of fiscal 2006.

Research and development expenses increased in the current periods primarily because of
increased stock-based compensation expense recorded for the vesting of restricted stock on
achievement of certain financial objectives and the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). Stratex recorded
$0.7 million and $1.4 million of stock based compensation in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and
first half of fiscal 2007, respectively. The stock based compensation recorded in the second
quarter of fiscal 2006 and first half of fiscal 2006 was $0.1 million each.
Stratex
has anticipated that research and development expenses will remain fairly constant in the
remainder of fiscal 2007 as it continues to focus on efforts to expand its Eclipse product line
features and capabilities.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, selling, general and administrative expenses increased
primarily due to stock-based compensation expense of $1.8 million recorded in the second quarter
for the vesting of restricted stock on achievement of certain financial objectives and adoption of
SFAS No. 123(R) compared to stock-based compensation of $0.7 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2006. The increase also reflected $1.5 million of transaction related expenses recorded in
the second quarter of fiscal 2007 relating to the proposed combination with the Microwave
Communications Division. This increase was partially offset by lower agent commissions due to lower
sales in the Asia/Pacific region where Stratex uses sales agents.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the first half of fiscal 2007 from
the first half of fiscal 2006 primarily because of stock compensation expense of $3.7 million
recorded in the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to $0.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2006
and the combination-related expenses. However, Stratex incurred lower agent commissions in the
first half of fiscal 2007 compared to first half of fiscal 2006.

Interest income increased in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007 compared to the
same periods in fiscal 2006 because of higher average balances and also higher interest rates.
Other expense decreased in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007 compared to the
same periods of fiscal 2006 primarily because of lower exchange losses and lower costs of hedging
Stratexs foreign currency exposure risk.

Stratex
has recorded provision for income taxes on taxable income generated by some of our foreign
subsidiaries. The provision for income taxes was significantly lower in the second quarter and
first half of fiscal 2007 than in the same periods in fiscal 2006 primarily because of taxable
income at the Poland, Mexico and India subsidiaries in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. These
subsidiaries incurred losses during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007.

Summary of Cash Flows
Net cash provided by Stratexs operating activities in the first half of fiscal 2007 was $2.0
million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3.1 million in the first half of
fiscal 2006. The amount provided by operating activities in the first half of fiscal 2007 came from
net profit, as adjusted to exclude non-cash charges. The components of the increase (net) were as
follows:
|
|
|
Accounts receivable increased by $9.3 million in the first half of fiscal 2007 compared
to a decrease of $2.3 million in the first half of fiscal 2006 mainly due to day sales
outstanding, or DSO, increasing from 59 days as of March 31, 2006 to 69 days as of September
30, 2006. The increase in DSO resulted primarily from the timing of shipments and payment
terms. |
|
|
|
|
Accounts payable increased by $1.6 million in the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to a
decrease of $0.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2006 primarily because of higher
inventory purchases to support higher levels of backlog. |
|
|
|
|
Inventories decreased in the first half of fiscal 2007 by $5.1 million compared to a
decrease of $2.4 million in the first half of fiscal 2006. |
|
|
|
|
Other accrued liabilities and long term liabilities decreased in the first half of fiscal
2007 primarily because of revenue deferred at March 31, 2006 was recognized during the
period and restructuring payments. |
Net cash used for Stratexs investing activities in the first half of fiscal 2007 was $10.3
million, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $3.5 million in the first half of
fiscal 2006. In the first half of fiscal 2007, proceeds from sales of investments, net of
purchases, were $7.6 million compared to net proceeds of $5.2 million in the first half of fiscal
2006.
Purchases of property and equipment by Stratex were $2.7 million in the first half of fiscal
2007 compared to $1.7 million in the first half of fiscal 2006.
Net cash used for financing activities by Stratex in the first half of fiscal 2007 was $4.1
million compared to net cash used by financing activities of $2.8 million in the first half of
fiscal 2006. Stratex repaid $5.6 million and $3.1 million of its bank loans in the first halves of
fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of common stock of $1.5 million and $0.3
million in the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively, were derived from the exercise of
employee stock options and employee purchases of stock under Stratexs employee stock purchase
plan.
Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2006, March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004
Revenues
Net sales for fiscal 2006 increased to $230.9 million, compared to $180.3 million reported in
fiscal 2005. Stratex believes that this increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the
demand for its newest Eclipse product line, and that demand increased because of wireless
subscriber growth and growth in fixed wireless transmission infrastructures in developing
countries. Stratex also experienced increased sales for data applications as a result of the
Eclipse product features that specifically address this market. Stratex believes that global
economic growth rates, though modest, also contributed to the increase in revenue.
Net sales for fiscal 2005 increased to $180.3 million, compared to $157.3 million reported in
fiscal 2004. This increase was due in part to increased sales of the Eclipse product line, which
began shipping in the second half of fiscal 2004. Eclipse sales accounted for $39.6 million, or
almost 26%, of Stratexs total revenue for fiscal 2005. Stratex believes that improved market
conditions were another factor contributing to the increase in net sales in fiscal 2005 compared to
fiscal 2004. Capital spending in the telecommunications market showed a gradual improvement during
fiscal 2005.

revenue by geographic region for the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages):

Net sales in fiscal 2006 compared to net sales in fiscal 2005 increased significantly in
Poland, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Middle East and Other Europe regions, while revenue decreased
significantly in Russia. Sales in Poland increased due to increased sales to an existing long-term
customer and in part due to sales to a new customer. Net sales in the Middle East increased
significantly mainly due to increased sales to one major customer in that region. Net sales to
Nigeria in fiscal 2006 increased to $19.1 million from $10.1 million in fiscal 2005 primarily due
to network expansion by one major customer. Revenue in Bangladesh increased significantly to $22.3
million in fiscal 2006 from $1.6 million in fiscal 2005 due to the rapid expansion of several
regional networks. Revenue in the Other Asia/Pacific region increased to $13.9 million in fiscal
2006 from $4.3 million in fiscal 2005 due to increased shipments to a major customer and the
recognition of revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 of $4.4 million on one major sale of
legacy equipment that had previously been deferred due to credit status. Net sales in Russia
decreased in fiscal 2006 to $15.7 million from $35.5 million fiscal 2005 primarily because of
reduced sales to one customer.
Net sales in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 increased significantly in Russia, the
Americas, Poland and Other Africa regions while decreasing significantly in Nigeria and Other
Europe regions. The increase in net revenue in Russia was primarily due to increased sales to one
customer. The increase in net sales in the Americas from $25.2 million in fiscal 2004 to $35.3
million in fiscal 2005 resulted primarily from the increase in sales of a license exempt product
line that Stratex acquired in fiscal 2004, securing a new customer in Latin America and sales to an
existing customer to whom Stratex had no shipments in the Americas in fiscal 2004. The decrease in
net sales in Nigeria from $25.7 million in fiscal 2004 to $10.1 million in fiscal 2005 was due to a
decline in shipments to one customer whose network expansion project neared completion. Net sales
in the Other Europe region decreased to $22.1 million in fiscal 2005 from $30.3 million in fiscal
2004 due to a declining customer base and lower sales in Eastern Europe. Net sales to Poland
increased significantly to $10.8 million in fiscal 2005 from $5.9 million in fiscal 2004 due to an
increase in sales to an existing customer.
Orders and backlog. In fiscal 2006, Stratex received $255.9 million in new orders compared to
$208.9 million in fiscal 2005 and $196.3 million in fiscal 2004. The backlog at June 30, 2006 was
$87.4 million compared to $56.2 million at June 30, 2005 and $58.0 million at June 30, 2004.
The following table summarizes the number of Stratexs customers that accounted for more than
10% of its backlog at fiscal year end and with the percentage of backlog represented by each one.

Orders in Stratexs backlog are subject to changes in delivery schedules or to cancellation at
the option of the purchaser without significant penalty. Stratex
has included in its backlog purchase
orders for which a delivery schedule had been specified for product shipment within one year.
Stratex has been reviewing its backlog on an ongoing basis and makes adjustments to it as required.
Accordingly, although useful for scheduling production, backlog as of any particular date may not
be a reliable measure of future sales.

Net product revenues increased to $198.2 million in fiscal 2006 from $151.6 million in fiscal
2005 primarily because of a significant increase in Eclipse product line sales which accounted for
68% of the total revenue, increasing by 240% from $39.6 million in fiscal 2005 to $134.5 million in
fiscal 2006. Sales of Stratexs older Altium, XP4 and DXR product lines decreased as the Eclipse
product line replaced demand for those products.
Operating loss from the product segment declined significantly to $3.7 million in fiscal 2006
from $47.1 million in fiscal 2005, primarily due to higher gross margins for the Eclipse product
line.
Net product revenues increased from $129.1 million in fiscal 2004 to $151.6 million in fiscal
2005 due to the introduction of Stratexs new Eclipse product line, which began shipping in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. Eclipse product sales increased from $3.3 million in fiscal 2004 to
$39.6 million in fiscal 2005, and replaced revenue from the older Altium product line which
decreased from $39.6 million in fiscal 2004 to $24.0 million in fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2005, net
revenue for the XP4 product line increased to $64.1 million from $57.5 million in fiscal 2004
primarily due to sales to an existing customer in Russia that was continuing to expand its network.
At the same time, net revenue from the DXR product line decreased from $23.9 million in fiscal 2004
to $16.1 million in fiscal 2005 because of lower demand for this product which is used in limited
applications.
The operating loss from the product segment in fiscal 2005 as a percentage of net product
segment revenue remained approximately the same as in fiscal 2004, as an increase in product
revenue was offset in percentage terms by restructuring charges of $7.4 million and inventory
valuation charges of $2.6 million recorded in fiscal 2005.
Cash used for the product operating segment resulted primarily from operating losses incurred
by that segment. The cash needs of this segment included research and development activities and
restructuring payments. We also increased the inventory levels of our new product Eclipse in order
to support its rollout in the market.
Service operating segment. The revenue and operating income for Stratexs service operating
segment for the three years ended March 31 were as follows: (in thousands, except percentages)

Services
revenue included, but was not limited to, installation, network design, path surveys,
integration and other revenues derived from the services Stratex provide to its customers.
In fiscal 2006, field service revenue increased to $20.5 million from $16.6 million in fiscal
2005 due to the increase in product revenues associated with field services. Operating income from
field service revenue was $1.1 million in fiscal 2006 compared to a loss of $0.5 million in fiscal
2005 because fixed field service costs were spread over higher revenue levels. Repair revenue did
not change significantly in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005. Operating income improved as
Stratex reduced its expenses in this segment.
44
In fiscal 2005, field service revenue increased to $16.6 million from $15.4 million in fiscal
2004. Despite the increase, Stratex incurred an operating loss in fiscal 2005 compared to an
operating income in fiscal 2004, primarily due to project delays which raised costs as well as
costs incurred to modify an installation for a major customer. Repair revenue decreased slightly in
fiscal 2005 to $12.1 million from $12.9 million in fiscal 2004. Operating income for the repair
segment, as a percentage of repair revenue, for fiscal 2005 decreased to 32% from 37% in fiscal
2004 because of lower absorption of fixed costs due to lower revenues.
Cash used in the service operating segment resulted primarily from purchases of spare parts to
provide repair services to our customers and to pay labor expenses. We also paid cash to several
third party vendors to help us install our products. In fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, we purchased
approximately $2.9 million and $4.4 million of spare parts, respectively.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 27.5% in fiscal 2006 compared to a
gross profit of 14.6% in fiscal 2005. This increase in gross profit percentage resulted primarily
from a favorable product mix impact of approximately 5%, especially from higher sales of Stratexs
Eclipse product line. Lower costs had a favorable impact of approximately 12%, while pricing had an
unfavorable impact of 5%. The gross profit of fiscal 2005 was negatively impacted by 1% due to
inventory valuation charges of $2.6 million.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 14.6% in fiscal 2005 compared to a
gross profit percentage of 17.9% in fiscal 2004. The gross profit percentage for fiscal 2005 was
negatively impacted by 1% due to inventory valuation charges of $2.6 million recorded in fiscal
2005, compared to an inventory valuation benefit of $0.5 million recorded in fiscal 2004. The
inventory valuation charges were for excess inventories not expected to be sold and the inventory
valuation benefit was from sale of excess inventories reserved in prior periods. Pricing had a
negative impact of approximately 2% on the gross margin percentage in fiscal 2005 as compared to
fiscal 2004.

In fiscal 2006, research and development expenses decreased to $14.5 million from $16.7
million in fiscal 2005. This decrease was primarily due to the shut down of the Cape Town, South
Africa operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 as part of a restructuring plan and reduced
engineering expenses related to Stratexs legacy products.
In fiscal 2005, research and development expenses decreased to $16.7 million from $17.2

In fiscal 2006, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $46.8 million from
$44.4 million in fiscal 2005, primarily due to higher third party agent commissions on sales of our
products resulting from an increase in net sales, especially in the Asia/Pacific region. Net sales
in the Asia/Pacific region in fiscal 2006 were $58.0 million compared to $32.0 million in fiscal
2005. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses declined to 20.3%
in fiscal 2006 from 24.6% in fiscal 2005 primarily because of the increase in net sales.
In fiscal 2005, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $44.4 million from
$39.3 million in fiscal 2004, due to higher third party agent commissions on sales of products
resulting from an increase in net sales, especially in the Asia/Pacific region, and higher
receivable valuation charges. In fiscal 2005, Stratex recorded a $1.1 million accrual for
uncollectible receivables. In addition, Stratex incurred increased costs and audit fees for
documentation and testing related to implementation of requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses declined to 24.6%
in fiscal 2005 from 25.0% in fiscal 2004 primarily because the rate of increase in net sales
exceeded the rate of increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Stratex did not record any restructuring charges in fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2005, Stratex
recorded $7.4 million of restructuring charges. In order to reduce expenses and increase
operational efficiency, Stratex implemented a restructuring plan in the third quarter of fiscal
2005 that included the decision to shut down operations in Cape Town, South Africa, outsource
manufacturing at the New Zealand and Cape Town, South Africa locations and exit the sales and
service offices in Argentina, Colombia and Brazil in favor of independent distributors. As part of
the restructuring plan, Stratex reduced the workforce by 155 employees and recorded restructuring
charges for employee severance and benefits of $3.8 million. Stratex also recorded restructuring
charges of $2.3 million for building lease obligations, $0.8 million for fixed asset write-offs and
$0.5 million for legal and other costs.
In fiscal 2004, Stratex recorded $5.5 million of restructuring charges. Stratex reduced the
workforce by 34 employees and recorded restructuring charges for employee severance and benefits of
$0.9 million. The remaining $4.6 million of restructuring charges related to lease obligations for
buildings that Stratex vacated in fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003.

benefits, $0.3 million of legal and other costs and $2.9 million of vacated building lease
obligations) to be paid in fiscal 2007 and vacated building lease
obligations of $14.5 million would
be paid during fiscal 2008 through fiscal 2012.

Interest income was $1.1 million in fiscal 2006 compared to $0.7 million in fiscal 2005. The
increase resulted primarily from higher interest rates in fiscal 2006 as compared to those in
fiscal 2005. Interest income in fiscal 2005 decreased to $0.7 million from $0.9 million in fiscal
2004. The decrease resulted primarily from lower average cash balances during fiscal 2005 as
compared to fiscal 2004.
Stratexs interest expense increased to $2.2 million in fiscal 2006 from $1.7 million in
fiscal 2005 primarily due to bank borrowings under its credit facility. Interest expense increased
to $1.7 million in fiscal 2005 from $0.2 million in fiscal 2004 because of the additional debt.
Other expenses net were $1.9 million in fiscal 2006 compared to $0.8 million in fiscal 2005
primarily due to higher foreign currency exchange losses and an increase in the cost of hedging
foreign currency exposure risk. Other expenses declined to $0.8 million in fiscal 2005 from $1.1
million in fiscal 2004 as Stratex lowered its cost of hedging for foreign currency exposure in
fiscal 2005 by reducing exposure through capitalizing intercompany balances with foreign
subsidiaries.

In fiscal 2006, Stratex recorded an income tax provision of $1.6 million compared to a
provision of $0.5 million in fiscal 2005. This increase was mainly due to an increase in taxable
income of some of its foreign subsidiaries.
In fiscal 2005, Stratex recorded an income tax provision of $0.5 million related to profits
generated by some of its foreign subsidiaries. In fiscal 2004, Stratex wrote off $1.9 million of
deferred tax assets relating to two of its foreign subsidiaries as it was more likely than not that
Stratex would not realize any benefit from these assets. Stratex also recorded an income tax
provision of $0.2 million for foreign subsidiary net income.

Stratex had firm purchase commitments with various suppliers as of the end of September 2006.
Actual expenditures will vary based upon the volume of the transactions and length of
contractual service provided. In addition, the amounts paid under these arrangements may be
less in the event that the arrangements are renegotiated or cancelled. Certain agreements
provide for potential cancellation penalties. Stratexs policy with respect to all purchase
commitments is to record losses, if any, when they are probable and reasonably estimable.
Stratex believes it has made adequate provision for potential exposure related to inventory
for orders which may go unused. |

Restructuring Payments
Stratex
has expected to pay the remaining accrual balance for restructuring payments of $16.4
million as of September 30, 2006, in cash. The remaining accrual balance consists of $0.2 million
for severance and benefits, $0.3 million for legal fees and $15.9 million for vacated building
lease obligations. Of the vacated building lease obligations, Stratex
has expected to pay $3.2 million
prior to September 30, 2007 and $12.7 million from fiscal 2008 through fiscal 2012.
Customer Financing
Beginning in fiscal 2004, Stratex has granted extended terms of credit to some customers in
order to position itself in the applicable markets and to promote opportunities for the Eclipse
product line. As of September 30, 2006, Stratex had recorded $0.4 million as long-term accounts
receivable due to these extended terms of credit granted to our customers. Although Stratex may
commit to provide financing to customers in order to position itself in certain markets, Stratex
expects to remain focused on minimizing overall customer financing exposures by discounting receivables when
possible, raising third party financing and arranging letters of credit.
Repayment of Long-Term Debt
In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, Stratex borrowed $25 million on a long-term basis under
its $35 million secured revolving credit facility with a commercial bank. This loan is payable in
equal monthly installments of principal plus interest over a period of four years. It bears a fixed
interest rate of 6.38%. As of September 30, 2006, Stratex had repaid $14.6 million of the loan
principal.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, Stratex increased the amount of its credit facility with
the bank from $35 million to $50 million and extended the facility for one year to April 30, 2008.
Stratex also borrowed an additional $20 million on a long-term basis under this facility. The
long-term loan is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest over four years
and bears interest at
48
a fixed rate of 7.25%. As of September 30, 2006, Stratex repaid $2.5 million principal of this
loan. This credit facility is secured by all of Stratexs assets, other than leasehold improvements
under various facility leases, assets previously pledged by Stratexs New Zealand subsidiary,
restricted cash held in bank and deposit accounts and intellectual property, although all proceeds
of intellectual property are secured.
Under
the credit facility agreement, Stratex must maintain, as measured on the last day of
each fiscal quarter, tangible net worth of at least $54 million plus (1) 25% of net income, as
determined in accordance with GAAP (exclusive of losses) and (2) 50% of any increase in net worth
due to subordinated debt or net equity proceeds from either public or private offerings (exclusive
of issuances of stock under our employee benefit plans) for such quarter and all preceding quarters
since December 31, 2005. Stratex also must maintain, as measured at the last day of each fiscal
month, a ratio of not less than 1:1 for each month end through May 31, 2006 and 1.25:1 thereafter,
determined as follows: (a) the sum of total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, short-term and
long-term marketable securities, and 25% of all accounts receivable due to Stratex, minus certain
outstanding bank services and reserve for foreign currency contract transactions, divided by (b)
the aggregate amount of outstanding borrowings and other obligations to the bank. As of June 30,
2006 Stratex was in compliance with these financial covenants.
Sources of Cash
At September 30, 2006, Stratexs principal sources of liquidity consisted of $55.7 million in
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and $15.9 million in available credit under the
$50 million credit facility. At September 30, 2006, the balance of the long-term debt portion of
the $50 million credit facility was $27.9 million, and $6.1 million of standby letter of credit
obligations were outstanding. There was no amount outstanding under the short-term debt portion of
the facility as of September 30, 2006. As the long-term debt portion is repaid, additional credit
will be available under the revolving credit portion of the facility. Short-term borrowings under
the revolving credit facility bear interest at the banks prime rate, which was 8.25% per annum at
September 30, 2006, or LIBOR plus 2%, at Stratexs option.
Stratex believed that its available cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2006 and the
$15.9 million available credit under its revolving credit facility would be sufficient to meet
Stratexs anticipated needs for working capital and capital expenditures for the next twelve
months.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Exposure on Investments
Stratexs
exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates has related primarily to its
investment portfolio. Stratex has not used derivative financial instruments in its investment
portfolio. Stratex has been investing in high-credit quality issuers and, by policy, limits 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 also
has been diversified by maturity to ensure that funds are readily available as needed to meet liquidity
needs. Stratex believes this policy has minimized the requirement to sell securities in order to meet liquidity needs
and therefore the potential effect of changing market rates on the value of securities sold.
The table below presents principal amounts and related weighted average interest rates by year
of maturity for the investment portfolio.

The
primary objective of Stratexs short-term investment activities
has been to preserve
principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. Stratexs
short-term investments are for fixed interest rates; therefore, changes in interest
49
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 investments prior to maturity have been
immaterial. The average days to maturity for investments held at the end of second quarter of
fiscal 2007 was 48 days, and the investments had an average yield of 5.3% per annum.
As of September 30, 2006, unrealized losses on investments were insignificant. The investments
have been recorded at fair value on our balance sheet.
Exposure on Borrowings
Any short-term borrowings under Stratexs credit facility will be at an interest rate of the
banks prime rate or LIBOR plus 2%, at Stratexs option. As of September 30, 2006, Stratex had
$15.9 million of available credit under the $50 million credit facility with a commercial bank. A
hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a material impact on Stratexs financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
Exchange Rate Risk
Stratex
has routinely used forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge net exposures, by currency,
related to the monetary assets and liabilities of its operations denominated in non-functional
currencies. In addition, Stratex has entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to establish with
certainty the U.S. dollar amount value of firmly committed backlog and open purchase orders
denominated in a foreign currency. The primary business objective of
these hedging programs has been to
minimize the gains and losses in both margin and other income resulting from exchange rate changes.
At September 30, 2006, Stratex held forward contracts in the aggregate amount of $34.4 million
primarily in the Thai Baht, Euro and Polish Zloty. The amount of unrealized losses on these
contracts at September 30, 2006 was insignificant. Forward contracts are not available in certain
currencies and have not been purchased for some other currencies because of their high cost. The exchange
rate fluctuations in these currencies, such as the Nigerian Naira, could result in significant
gains and losses in future periods.
Given Stratexs exposure to various transactions in foreign currencies, a change in foreign
exchange rates would result in exchange gains and losses. As these exposures are generally covered
by forward contracts where such contracts are available, these exchange gains and losses would be
offset by exchange gains and losses on the contracts designated as hedges against such exposures.
Stratex
has used sensitivity analysis to measure foreign currency risk by computing the potential
loss that may result from adverse changes in foreign exchange rates. The exposure that relates to
the hedged firm commitments was not included in the analysis. A hypothetical unfavorable variance in
foreign exchange rates of 10% was applied to each net source currency position using year-end rates,
to determine the potential loss. Further, the model has assumed no correlation in the movement of
foreign exchange rates. A 10% adverse change in exchange rates would result in an insignificant
amount of loss. This potential loss would result primarily from Stratexs exposure to the Nigerian
Naira and Argentine Peso.
Stratex
has not entered into foreign currency transactions for trading or speculative purposes.
Stratex has attempted to limit its exposure to credit risk by executing foreign contracts with
high-quality financial institutions. For more information regarding Stratexs accounting policies
for derivative financial instruments, see Note 2 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements of Stratex on page F-46.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As of March 31, 2006, Stratexs management identified a material weakness in its internal
control over financial reporting which resulted from a failure to maintain effective controls over
the financial close and reporting process. Specifically, Stratex reported that it did not have
effective internal controls over the review of the financial statements of its foreign operations
and the period-end financial closing and reporting process of its consolidated operations. This
control deficiency results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual
or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, Stratexs
management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
Stratexs management and the audit committee of Stratexs board of directors intend and have
taken steps to remediate this material weakness and implemented the following actions during the
first and second quarters of fiscal 2007:
|
|
|
expanded the review of the consolidated financial statements of Stratex and related
financial close and reporting processes, including additional site visits and testing of
internal controls; and |
50
|
|
|
addressed staffing needs in the accounting and finance areas by increasing staff in
corporate finance at Stratexs headquarters in San Jose, California and at foreign
subsidiary offices located in France, Poland and South Africa. |
Stratexs management believes it is taking the steps necessary to remediate this material
weakness relating to financial close and reporting processes, procedures and controls with a goal
of remediating this material weakness before the end of fiscal 2007; however, no assurances can be
given that the material weakness will be remediated by such date.
For the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2006, Stratex carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based upon
that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as a result
of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting in the financial close and
reporting area described above, Stratexs disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
period were not effective. They determined that the deficiencies identified did not have a material
impact on Stratexs financial statements.

BUSINESS
Overview
Harris Stratex was formed on October 5, 2006 as the vehicle for the combination of Stratex and
MCD, which occurred on January 26, 2007.
Historically,
MCD has been one of four divisions within Harris, an international communications and information
technology company focused on providing assured communications products, systems and services for
government and commercial customers and following the combination of
the Microwave Communications Division and Stratex constitutes an
operating business of Harris Stratex. The Microwave Communications Division was formed in February,
1980, when Farinon Corporation, a producer of telecommunications products and recognized leader in
the telephone equipment market, was acquired by Harris. MCD is a global provider of products and
services in point-to-point microwave radio communications. MCD designs, manufactures and sells a
broad range of microwave radios for use in worldwide wireless communications networks. Applications
include wireless/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. MCD also offers a comprehensive network management
system known as NetBoss®. NetBoss® is an end-to-end turnkey solution for managing multi-vendor,
multi-service, multi-protocol communications networks. NetBoss® provides turnkey element and
network management solutions for fault management, performance management, configuration
management, as well as operational support systems.
MCD is organized into three operating segments around the markets served: North America
microwave, International microwave and the NetBoss product line. 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. 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. NetBoss® is a turnkey,
end-to-end service assurance solution for broadband, wireline, wireless and converged networks. The
NetBoss product line develops, designs, produces, sells and services network management systems,
primarily for cellular network providers and private network users.
Stratex (formerly known as Digital Microwave Corporation (re-named as DMC Stratex Networks,
Inc.)), was incorporated in California in 1984 and reorganized as a Delaware corporation in 1987.
In August 2002, Stratex changed its name from DMC Stratex
Networks, Inc. to Stratex Networks, Inc. and on January 26, 2007
changed its name to Harris Stratex Networks Operating Corporation.
Stratex is a leading provider of innovative wireless transmission solutions to mobile wireless
carriers and data access providers around the world. Stratexs solutions also address the
requirements of fixed wireless carriers, enterprises and government institutions that operate
broadband wireless networks. Stratex designs, manufactures and markets a broad range of products
that offer a wide range of transmission frequencies, ranging from 0.3 GigaHertz (GHz) to 38 GHz,
and a wide range of transmission capacities, typically ranging from 64 Kilobits to 2OC-3 or 311
Megabits per second (Mbps). In addition to Stratexs product offerings, it provides network
planning, design and installation services and work closely with its customers to optimize
transmission networks. Stratexs product Eclipse® is a wireless platform that combines low and
high capacity, as well as high power capability, into a single, common product platform designed to
significantly lower the total cost of ownership of wireless networks over the product life. With a
single platform, Eclipse® requires fewer parts, less rack space and fewer spare parts than the
combination of our current radio products and the non-radio components supplied by other equipment
suppliers, which are required for a complete installation.
Harris Stratex expects to conduct the businesses of Stratex and the Microwave Communications
Division substantially as formerly conducted by Stratex and Harris, respectively; however, Harris
Stratex anticipates that it will integrate the businesses and will pursue supply chain efficiencies
through increased production volume, rationalize the product portfolio, eliminate duplicate
administrative and overhead costs, outsource some products to low-cost manufacturers, and adopt a
common engineering design process.
Industry Background
Wireless transmission networks are constructed using microwave radios and other equipment to
connect cell sites, switching systems, wire-line transmission systems and other fixed access
facilities. Wireless networks range in size from a single transmission link connecting two
buildings to complex networks comprised of thousands of wireless connections. The architecture of a
network is influenced by several factors, including the available radio frequency spectrum,
coordination of frequencies with existing infrastructure, application requirements, environmental
factors and local geography.
52
There has been an increase in the capital spending in the wireless telecommunications industry
in recent years. The demand for high speed wireless transmission products has been growing at a
slightly higher rate than the wireless industry as a whole. Harris Stratex believes that this
growth is directly related to the growth in both the use of mobile wireless communications networks
and the increased demand for fixed wireless transmission solutions. Major driving factors for such
growth include the following:
|
|
|
Increase in Global Wireless Subscribers and Minutes of Use. The number of global
wireless subscribers and minutes of use per subscriber are expected to continue to increase.
The primary drivers include increased subscription, increased voice minutes of use per
subscriber and the growing use by subscribers of data applications. Third generation data
applications have been introduced in the developed countries and this has fueled an increase
in minutes of data use. Harris Stratex believes that growth as a result of new data services
will continue for the next several years. |
|
|
|
|
Increased establishment of mobile and fixed wireless telecommunications infrastructures
in developing countries. In parts of the world, telecommunications services are inadequate
or unreliable because of the lack of existing infrastructures. To service providers in
developing countries seeking to increase the availability and quality of telecommunications
and internet access services, wireless solutions are an attractive alternative to the
construction or leasing of wireline networks, given their relatively low cost and ease of
deployment. As a result, there has been an increased establishment of mobile and fixed
wireless telecommunications infrastructures in developing countries. Emerging
telecommunications markets in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Eastern
Europe are characterized by a need to build out basic telecommunications systems. |
|
|
|
|
Technological advances, particularly in the wireless telecommunications market. The
demand for cellular telephone and other wireless services and devices continues to increase
due to technological advances and increasing consumer demand for connectivity to data and
voice services. New mobile-based services based upon what is commonly referred to as
third-generation technology is also creating additional demand and growth in mobile
networks and their associated infrastructure. The demand for fixed broadband access networks
has also increased due to data transmission requirements resulting from Internet access
demand. Similar to cellular telephone networks, wireless broadband access is typically less
expensive to install and can be installed more rapidly than a wireline or fiber alternative.
New and emerging services such as WiMAX are expected to expand over the next several years.
Both WiMAX and new high-speed mobile-based technology can be used for a number of
applications, including last mile broadband connections, hotspots and cellular backhaul,
and high-speed enterprise connectivity for business. |
|
|
|
|
Global deregulation of telecommunications market and allocation of radio frequencies for
broadband wireless access. Regulatory authorities in different jurisdictions allocate
different portions of the radio frequency spectrum for various telecommunications services.
Many countries have privatized the state-owned telecommunications monopoly and opened their
markets to competitive network service providers. Often these providers choose a wireless
transmission service, which causes an increase in the demand for transmission solutions.
Such global deregulation of the telecommunications market and the related allocation of
radio frequencies for broadband wireless access transmission have led to increased
competition to supply wireless-based transmission systems. |
Other Global trends and developments in the microwave communications markets include:
|
|
|
Continuing fixed-line to mobile-line substitution; |
|
|
|
|
Private networks and public telecommunications operators building high-reliability,
high-bandwidth networks that are more secure and better protected against natural and
man-made disasters; |
|
|
|
|
Continuing global mobile operator consolidation; and |
|
|
|
|
The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, mandated a 2 GHz relocation project
designed to resolve a public safety interference problem. The project includes the
relocation of 12 federal agencies and a significant amount of microwave radio content. The
FCC has mandated that most television broadcasters, fixed link service users and others who
operate within the 1990 2110 MHz spectrum band replace and/or upgrade their 2 GHz
transmission facilities by September 7, 2007 to operate within the 2025 2110 MHz spectrum
band. In exchange, the FCC will relinquish spectrum at 700 and 800 MHz and pay them cash. |
Harris Stratex believes that as broadband access and telecommunications requirements grow,
wireless systems will continue to be used as transmission systems to support a variety of existing
and expanding communications networks and applications. In this
53
regard, Harris Stratex believes that wireless systems will be used to address the connection
requirements of several markets and applications, including the broadband access market, cellular
applications, and private networks.

New software-based management solutions enable greater control over the network. New
software-based management solutions, including the Eclipse Portal craft tool and the latest release
of ProVision, are designed to enable greater control over a network by providing simple,
user-focused, local or remote configuration control and status monitoring; and
Increased network reliability. Eclipse has been designed to provide increased network
reliability to our carrier customers. Stratex has closely monitored the predicted mean time between
failures throughout the development process for Eclipse. In addition, with less cabling, less rack
space, and fewer spare parts, Eclipse is designed to have a significantly lower failure rate than
current products.
Capability to easily add new features and products. Additions to the Eclipse platform in
fiscal 2006 included carrier-grade Ethernet products. These have been provided in the form of an
Ethernet plug-in for the INU, the DAC ES as well as a Gigabit Ethernet for the INU, the DAC GE. In

$86.4 million backlog.
56
International Business
MCD revenue in fiscal 2006 from products exported from the United States or manufactured
abroad was $196.8 million (55% of MCDs total revenue), compared with $157.4 million (51% of MCDs
total revenue) in fiscal 2005 and $175.2 million (53% of MCDs total revenue) in fiscal 2004.
International sales include both direct exports from the United States and sales from foreign
subsidiaries. Most of the international sales are derived from the International microwave segment.
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 Africa, Canada, Europe, Asia and South and Central America, totaled
$85.1 million (43% of MCDs international revenue) in fiscal 2006, $49.8 million (32% of MCDs
international revenue) in fiscal 2005 and $68.4 million (39% of MCDs international revenue) in
fiscal 2004. Foreign operations represented 20% of MCDs revenue in fiscal 2006, 34% of MCDs
revenue in fiscal 2005 and 29% of MCDs revenue in fiscal 2004. Foreign operations represented 57%
of MCDs long-lived assets as of June 30, 2006 and 56% of long-lived assets as of July 1, 2005.
Financial information regarding MCDs domestic and international operations is contained in Note
16: Business Segments in the Notes to the Combined Financial Statements of MCD and is incorporated
herein by reference.
MCDs principal international manufacturing facility is located in China. International
marketing activities are conducted through subsidiaries which operate in Canada, Europe, Central
and South America and Asia. MCD also has established international marketing organizations and
several regional sales offices.
MCD 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 MCD. Prices to
the ultimate customer in many instances may be recommended or established by the independent
representative and may be above or below MCDs list prices. These independent representatives
generally receive a discount from MCDs list prices and may mark up those prices in setting the
final sales prices paid by the customer. During fiscal 2006, revenue from indirect sales channels
represented 5% of MCDs total revenue and 6% of MCDs international revenue, compared to revenue
from indirect sales channels in fiscal 2005 representing 21% of MCDs total revenue and 37% of
MCDs international revenue.
Fiscal 2006 revenue came from customers in a large number of foreign countries. Other than
Nigeria, 23%, and Canada, 8%, no single country accounted for 5% or more of MCDs total revenue.
Some of MCDs 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. In addition,
significant foreign government contracts generally required MCD to provide performance guarantees.
In order to stay competitive in international markets, MCD also entered into recourse and vendor
financing to facilitate sales to certain customers.
Stratex markets its products primarily to mobile wireless carriers around the world. Over 90%
of Stratexs net sales for each of its last three fiscal years
were derived from outside
United States. Stratexs solutions also address the requirements of fixed wireless carriers,
enterprises and government institutions that operate broadband wireless networks. Stratex also
sells its products to agents, distributors and base station suppliers, who provide and install
integrated systems to service providers. Although Stratex has a large customer base, during any
given quarter, a small number of customers may account for a significant portion of its net sales.
In certain circumstances, Stratex sells its products to service providers through OEMs, which
provide the service providers with access to financing and in some instances, protection from
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
The particular economic, social and political conditions for business conducted outside the
U.S. differ from those encountered by domestic businesses. Harris Stratexs 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. For a discussion of the risks Harris Stratex is
subject to as a result of its international operations, see Risk Factors beginning on page
3 of this prospectus.
Competition
Harris Stratex operates in highly competitive markets that are sensitive to technological
advances. Although successful product and systems development is not necessarily dependent on
substantial financial resources, some of Harris Stratexs competitors in each of the businesses are
larger than Harris Stratex and can maintain higher levels of expenditures for research and
development. Harris Stratex concentrates on the market opportunities that Harris Stratex management
believes are compatible with resources, overall technological capabilities and objectives.
Principal competitive factors are cost-effectiveness, product quality and reliability,
technological capabilities, service, ability to meet delivery schedules and the effectiveness of
dealers in international areas. Harris Stratex believes that its network and systems engineering
support and service are key competitive strengths for Harris Stratex.
Harris Stratexs principal competitors are Alcatel, Ericsson, Fujitsu, NEC, Nokia and Siemens,
as well as other smaller companies. Several of Harris Stratexs competitors are original equipment
manufacturers or systems integrators through which Harris Stratex sometimes distributes and sells
products and services to end- users.

Research, Development and Engineering
Research, development and engineering expenditures by MCD totaled approximately $19 million in
fiscal 2006, $19 million in fiscal 2005, and $21 million in fiscal 2004. During fiscal 2006,
Stratex invested $14.5 million or 6.3% of net sales on research and development compared to $16.7
million or 9.2% of net sales in fiscal 2005 and $17.2 million or 10.9% of net sales in fiscal 2004.
Research, development and engineering are primarily directed to the development of new
products and to building technological capability. Harris Stratex maintains an engineering and new
product development department, with scientific assistance provided by advanced-technology
departments.
Patents and Other Intellectual Property
Harris Stratex considers its patents and other intellectual property rights, in the aggregate,
to constitute an important asset. Harris Stratex owns a portfolio of patents, trade secrets,
know-how, confidential information, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property. Harris
Stratex also licenses intellectual property to and from third parties. However, Harris Stratex does
not consider its business to be materially dependent upon any single patent, license or other
intellectual property right, or any group of related patents, licenses or other intellectual
property rights. Harris Stratex is engaged in a proactive patent licensing program and has entered
into a number of licenses and cross-license agreements, some of which generate royalty income.
Although existing license agreements have generated income in past years and may do so in the
future, there can be no assurances that Harris Stratex will enter into additional income-producing
license agreements. From time to time Harris Stratex engages in litigation to enforce its patents
and other intellectual property. Any of Harris Stratexs patents, trade secrets, trademarks,
copyrights and other proprietary rights could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or may
not provide competitive advantages. Numerous trademarks used on or in connection with Harris
Stratex products are also considered to be a valuable asset.
Environmental and Other Regulations
Harris Stratex facilities and operations, in common with those of industry in general, are
subject to numerous domestic and international laws and regulations designed to protect the
environment, particularly with regard to wastes and emissions. Each of MCD and Stratex believe that
each has complied with these requirements and that such compliance has not had a material adverse
effect on either of their respective results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Based upon currently available information, each of MCD and Stratex do not expect expenditures to
protect the environment and to comply with current environmental laws and regulations over the next
several years to have a material impact on its competitive or financial position, but each of them
can give no assurance that such expenditures will not exceed current expectations.
From time to time, each of MCD and Stratex has received notices from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency or equivalent state or foreign environmental agencies that it is a potentially
responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act,
which is commonly known as the Superfund Act, and/or equivalent laws. Such notices assert potential
liability for cleanup costs at various sites, which include sites owned by MCD, sites MCD
previously owned and treatment or disposal sites not owned by MCD, allegedly containing hazardous
substances attributable to MCD from past operations. MCD owns, previously owned or has been named
as a potentially responsible party at two such sites, excluding sites as to which MCDs records
disclose no involvement or as to which MCDs liability has been finally determined. While it is not
feasible to predict the outcome of many of these proceedings, in the opinion of MCDs management,
any payments MCD may be required to make as a result of such claims in existence at September 29,
2006 will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or its business taken as a
whole.
Electronic products are subject to governmental environmental regulation in a number of
jurisdictions. Equipment produced by Harris Stratex is subject to domestic and international
requirements requiring end-of-life management and/or restricting materials in products delivered to
customers. MCD and Stratex believe that each has complied with such rules and regulations, where
applicable, with respect to its existing products sold into such jurisdictions.
Radio communications are also subject to governmental regulation. Equipment produced by MCD
and Stratex is subject to domestic and international requirements to avoid interference among users
of radio frequencies and to permit interconnection of telecommunications equipment. Each of MCD and
Stratex believes that each has complied with such rules and regulations with respect to its
existing products, and each intends to comply with such rules and regulations with respect to its
future products. Reallocation of the frequency spectrum also could impact each of their respective
business, financial condition and results of operations and, accordingly, Harris Stratex.
58
Raw Materials and Supplies
Because of the diversity of its products and services, as well as the wide geographic
dispersion of its facilities, each of Stratex and MCD used numerous sources for the wide array of
raw materials (such as electronic components, printed circuit boards, metals and plastics) needed
for their respective operations and for its products. Each of MCD and
Stratex was dependent upon
suppliers and subcontractors for a large number of components and subsystems and the ability of its
suppliers and subcontractors to adhere to customer or regulatory materials restrictions and to meet
performance and quality specifications and delivery schedules. In some instances, Harris Stratex
will be dependent upon one or a few sources, either because of the specialized nature of a
particular item or because of local content preference requirements pursuant to which Harris
Stratex will operate on a given project. While MCD was affected by financial and performance
issues of some of its suppliers and subcontractors, MCD was not materially adversely affected
by the inability to obtain raw materials or products.
Seasonality
No material portion of Harris Stratexs business is considered to be seasonal. Various factors
can affect the distribution of revenue between accounting periods, including product deliveries and
customer acceptance.
Employees
As of September 29, 2006 MCD employed approximately 1,040 people. Approximately 600 of MCDs
employees are located in the United States. As of September 30,
2006, Stratex employed 542 full-time, part-time and temporary employees. MCD also utilizes a number of independent
contractors. None of MCDs or Stratexs employees in the United States are represented by a labor
union. In certain international subsidiaries, MCDs employees are represented by workers councils
or statutory labor unions. In general, each of MCD and Stratex believes that their relations with
their respective employees are good.
Properties
MCDs principal executive offices are located at leased facilities in Morrisville, North
Carolina. As of September 29, 2006, MCD operated approximately 24 facilities in the United States,
Canada, Europe, Central and South America and Asia, consisting of about 425,000 square feet of
manufacturing, administrative, research and development, warehousing, engineering and office space,
of which approximately 130,000 square feet are owned and approximately 295,000 square feet are
leased. There are no material encumbrances on any of MCDs facilities. MCDs leased facilities are
for the most part occupied under leases for terms ranging from one month to nine years, a majority
of which can be terminated or renewed at no longer than five year intervals at MCDs option. As of
September 29, 2006, the locations and approximate floor space of MCDs principal offices and
facilities in productive use were as follows:

In addition, Stratex also has offices and research and development facilities are located in
San Jose, California in one leased building of approximately 60,000 square feet. Stratex has
vacated two other buildings in San Jose of approximately 73,000 square feet; however, Stratex has
ongoing lease commitments for these buildings. Stratex also leases two buildings in Milpitas,
California totaling 60,000 square feet. One of these buildings is used for warehousing. Stratex
has vacated the other building of approximately 28,000 square feet. Stratex has an ongoing lease
commitment for the vacated building. In the vacated building, Stratex has sub-tenants occupying
the majority of the building. Although Stratex has discontinued its Seattle, Washington operations,
Stratex has ongoing lease commitments at the facility, which consists of two leased buildings
aggregating approximately 101,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space.
Stratex also owns a 44,000 square foot service and repair facility in Hamilton, Scotland.
Stratex owns an additional 58,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space in Wellington, New
Zealand. Additionally, Stratex leases an aggregate of approximately 32,000 square feet worldwide
for sales, customer service and support offices.
59
In the opinion of the management of each of MCD and Stratex, their respective facilities,
whether owned or leased, are suitable and adequate for their intended purposes and have capacities
adequate for current and projected needs. While Stratex has some unused or under-utilized
facilities, they are not considered significant. Harris Stratex will
continuously review its
anticipated requirements for facilities and will, from time to time, acquire additional facilities,
expand existing facilities, and dispose of existing facilities or parts thereof, as management
deems necessary. For more information about MCDs lease obligations, see Note 13: Lease Commitments
in the Notes to Combined Financial Statements of the Microwave Communications Division beginning on
page F-3 of this prospectus. Each of MCDs and Stratexs facilities and other properties
are generally maintained in good operating condition.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, as a normal incident of the nature and kind of businesses in which Harris
Stratex is engaged, various claims or charges may be asserted and litigation commenced against
Harris Stratex arising from or related to: product liability; personal injury; patents, trademarks,
trade secrets or other intellectual property; labor and employee disputes; commercial or
contractual disputes; breach of warranty; or environmental matters. 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 or arbitral awards. MCD has recorded accruals for losses related to
those matters that it considers to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Gain
contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized and legal costs are generally expensed
when incurred. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty,
and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of or decided unfavorably to MCD, based
upon available information, in the opinion of management, settlements and final judgments, if any,
which are considered probable of being rendered against MCD in litigation or arbitration in
existence at September 29, 2006 are reserved against, covered by insurance or would not have a
material adverse effect on MCDs financial position, results of operations or cash flows. There
are no material existing or pending legal proceedings against Stratex.

MANAGEMENT
Board of Directors of Harris Stratex
Because Harris Stratex will rely on the controlled company exemption contained in the NASDAQ
rules so long
as Harris holds more than 50% of the outstanding voting power of Harris Stratex, it will not be
required to have a majority of independent directors, as defined by the NASDAQ rules, serving on
its board of directors or a nominating committee or compensation committee composed entirely of
independent directors. However, at all times Harris Stratex will be required to have at least three
directors satisfying the independence requirements for directors serving on an audit committee as

these change of control severance provisions will be applicable to
Mr. Waechter for the next 24 months. Mr. Waechters
employment agreement provides that Harris Stratex will adjust all payments
to Mr. Waechter to minimize the impact of any excise taxes. The
foregoing description of Mr. Waechters employment agreement is not complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the employment agreement, which is included
as Exhibit 10.15 to this report.
Sarah A. Dudash and Robert Kamenski
Ms. Dudashs and
Mr. Kamenskis employment is at will and are expected to be subject to the terms set forth in Harris Stratexs
standard form of executive employment letter agreement. Their current compensation
packages are set forth in the table below. Under the standard form of executive employment letter
agreement if the executives employment is terminated by Harris Stratex without cause or because of
disability, or the executive resigns for good reason, the executive will be entitled to the

following the executives termination; such payments will be subject to applicable withholding and made in accordance

date
he or she first became eligible to participate in another employers group health insurance plan; or (3) the date
on

|
|
|
if the executives termination without cause occurs, Harris Stratex will pay the executive
the prorated portion of any incentive bonus that the executive would have earned, if any, during the incentive bonus
period in which the executives employment terminates (the pro-ration shall be equal to the percentage of that
bonus period that he or she is actually employed by Harris Stratex), and such prorated bonus will be
paid to the executive at the time that such
incentive bonuses are paid to other Harris Stratex employees; |
|
|
|
with respect to any stock options granted to the executive by Harris Stratex, he or she will cease vesting upon the
termination date; however, for options granted prior to the date of the agreement, the
options will be exercisable in
accordance with the terms of the applicable option agreement, for options granted subsequent
to the date of the
agreement, he or she will be entitled to purchase any vested shares of stock that are subject
to those options until the earlier of (1) 12 months following the termination date, or (2) the date on which the
applicable option(s) expire(s); and |
|
|
|
outplacement assistance selected and paid for by Harris Stratex. |
In the
event of a change of control (as defined in the form of employment
agreement), if the executives employment is terminated without
cause or the executive resigns for good reason within 18 months after
the occurrence of the change of control he or she will receive the
same severance benefits described above, except:
|
|
severance payments at the executives final base salary rate for a period of 24
months following the executives termination; |

|
|
|
|

executives termination; |
|
|
|
the executive will be entitled to purchase any vested shares of stock that are subject to
those options until the earlier of (1) 24 months following the termination date, or (2) the date on which the applicable
option(s) expire(s); and |
|
|
|
the executive will receive a payment equal to the greater of (1) the average of the annual
incentive bonus payments received, if any for the previous three years, or (2) the target
incentive bonus for the year in which his employment terminates. |
For purposes of the standard form of executive employment letter agreement the terms Good reason
following a change of control and Good reason have the same definitions as are contained in Mr.
Campbells employment agreement, described above.

Stock Incentive Plan
The Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. 2007 Stock Equity Plan, or the 2007 Plan, has been adopted
by the board of directors of Harris Stratex and approved by Harris, as its sole stockholder. It is
expected that the board of directors of Harris Stratex will grant awards to its directors and
officers under the 2007 Plan.
Number of Shares
As a general matter, at no time may the number of shares of Harris Stratex Class A common
stock issued pursuant to or subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2007 Plan exceed
5,000,000 shares of Harris Stratex Class A common stock. The 2007 Plan provides for a limited
number of exceptions to this provision, including adjustments for extraordinary corporate events.
Purpose
The 2007 Plan is intended to retain and reward highly qualified employees, consultants, and
directors and encourage their ownership of Common Stock.
Administration
The 2007 Plan may be administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors of
Harris Stratex, by another designated committee, or by the board directly. The designated
administrator, or the committee, has the discretion, subject to the provisions of the 2007 Plan, to
determine the employee, consultant or director to receive an award, the form of award and any
acceleration or extension of an award. Further, the committee has complete authority to interpret
the 2007 Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to it, to determine
the terms and provisions of the respective award agreements (which need not be identical), and to
make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2007 Plan.
Eligibility
Awards may be granted to any employee of or consultant to or its affiliates or to non-employee
members of the board of directors of Harris Stratex or of any board of directors (or similar
governing authority) of any affiliate.
Shares Subject to the 2007 Plan. The shares issued or to be issued under the 2007 Plan are
authorized but unissued shares of Harris Stratex Class A common stock. The maximum number of shares
of Harris Stratex Class A common stock which may be issued or made subject to awards under the 2007
Plan is 5,000,000, and no more than 10% of the available 2007 Plan shares of Harris Stratex Class A
common stock may be covered by awards issued to any one person in any one calendar year.
Type of Awards. Awards under the 2007 Plan may include incentive stock options, nonstatutory
stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance
units, qualified performance-based awards, and stock grants. Each award will be evidenced by an
instrument in such form as the Committee may prescribe, setting forth applicable terms such as the
exercise price and term of any option or applicable forfeiture conditions or performance
requirements for any restricted stock or restricted stock units. Except as noted below, all
relevant terms of any award will be set by the committee in its discretion.
|
|
|
Nonstatutory stock options and incentive stock options, or stock options, are rights to
purchase Harris Stratex Class A common stock. A stock option may be immediately exercisable
or become exercisable in such installments, cumulative or non-cumulative, as the committee
may determine. A stock option may be exercised by the recipient giving written notice to
Harris |
69
|
|
|
Stratex, specifying the number of shares with respect to which the stock option is
then being exercised, and accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the exercise price of
the shares to be purchased. The purchase price may be paid by cash, check, by delivery to
Harris Stratex (or attestation of ownership) of shares of Harris Stratex Class A common
stock (with some restrictions), or through and under the terms and conditions of any formal
cashless exercise program authorized by Harris Stratex. |
|
|
|
|
Incentive stock options may be granted only to eligible employees of Harris Stratex or
any parent or subsidiary corporation and must have an exercise price of not less than 100%
of the fair market value of the Harris Stratex Class A common stock on the date of grant
(110% for incentive stock options granted to any 10% stockholder of Harris Stratex). In
addition, the term of an incentive stock option may not exceed seven years (five years, if
granted to any 10% stockholder). Nonstatutory stock options must have an exercise price of
not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Harris Stratex Class A common stock on
the date of grant and the term of any nonstatutory stock option may not exceed seven years.
In the case of an incentive stock option, the amount of the aggregate fair market value of
Harris Stratex Class A common stock (determined at the time of grant) with respect to which
incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an employee during any
calendar year (under all such plans of his or her employer corporation and its parent and
subsidiary corporations) may not exceed $100,000. |
|
|
|
|
Stock appreciation rights, or SARs, are rights to receive (without payment to Harris
Stratex) cash, property or other forms of payment, or any combination thereof, as determined
by the committee, based on the increase in the value of the number of shares of Harris
Stratex Class A common stock specified in the SAR. The base price (above which any
appreciation is measured) will in no event be less than 100% of the fair market value of
Harris Stratex Class A stock on the date of grant of the SAR or, if the SAR is granted in
tandem with a stock option (that is, so that the recipient has the opportunity to exercise
either the stock option or the SAR, but not both), the exercise price under the associated
stock option. |
|
|
|
|
Awards of restricted stock are grants or sales of Harris Stratex Class A common stock
which are subject to a risk of forfeiture, such as a requirement of the continued
performance of services for stated term or the achievement of individual or Harris Stratex
performance goals. Awards of restricted stock include the right to
any dividends on the shares pending vesting (or forfeiture), although the committee may determine, at the time of
the award, that dividends will be deferred and, if dividends are deferred, the committee may
determine that the deferred dividends will be reinvested in additional restricted stock. |
|
|
|
|
Awards of restricted stock units and performance units are grants of rights to receive
either shares of Harris Stratex Class A common stock (in the case of restricted stock units)
or the appreciation over a base value (as specified by the committee) of a number of shares
of Harris Stratex Class A common stock (in the case of performance stock units) subject to
satisfaction of service or performance requirements established by the committee in
connection with the award. Such awards may include the right to the equivalent to any
dividends on the shares covered by the award, which amount may in the discretion of the
committee be deferred and paid if and when the award vests. |
|
|
|
|
Qualified performance-based awards are awards which include performance criteria intended
to satisfy Section 162(m) of the code. Section 162(m) of the code limits Harris Stratexs
federal income tax deduction for compensation to certain specified senior executives to $1
million dollars, but excludes from that limit performance-based compensation. Qualified
performance-based awards may be in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted
stock units or performance units, but in each case will be subject to satisfaction of one of
the following criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to
either Harris Stratex as a whole or to a business unit or affiliate, either individually,
alternatively, or in any combination, and measured either annually or cumulatively over a
period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre- established target, to previous
years results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by the
committee in the award: |
cash flow (before or after dividends)
stock price
stockholder return or total stockholder return
return on investment
market capitalization
debt leverage (debt to capital)
sales or net sales
income, pre-tax income or net income
operating profit, net operating profit or economic profit
return on operating revenue or return on operating assets
operating ratios
70
working capital ratios
market share improvement customer service
earnings per share (including, without limitation, earnings before stock based compensation,
profitsharing, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization)
return on equity
return on capital (including without limitation return on total capital or return on invested capital)
return on assets or net assets
economic value added
revenue
backlog
operating income, pre-tax income, or net income
gross margin, operating margin or profit margin
cash from operations
patent applications and patent awards
general and administrative expenses
Qualified performance-based awards in the form of stock options must have an exercise price
which is not less than 100% of the fair market value of Harris Stratex Class A common stock on
the date of grant. No payment or other amount will be available to a recipient of a qualified
performance-based award except upon the committees determination that particular goal or
goals established by the committee for the criteria (from among those specified above)
selected by the committee have been satisfied.
|
|
|
A stock grant is a grant of shares of Harris Stratex Class A common stock not subject to
restrictions or other forfeiture conditions. Stock grants may be awarded only in recognition
of significant contributions to the success of Harris Stratex or its affiliates, in lieu of
compensation otherwise already due, or in other limited circumstances which the committee
deems appropriate. |
Effect of Termination of Employment or Association. Unless the committee determines otherwise
in connection with any particular award under the 2007 Plan, stock options and SARs will generally
terminate three months following the recipients termination of employment or other association
with the Company. The effect of termination on other awards will depend on the terms of those
awards.
Transferability. In general, no award under the 2007 Plan may be transferred by the recipient
and during the life of the recipient all rights under an award may be exercised only by the
recipient or his or her legal representative. However, the committee may approve the transfer,
without consideration, of an award of a nonstatutory option or restricted stock to a family member.
Effect of Significant Corporate Event. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares
of Harris Stratex Class A common stock through merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially
all the property of Harris Stratex, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other distribution with respect to such shares of
Harris Stratex Class A common stock, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment will be made in
(1) the maximum numbers and kinds of shares subject to the 2007 Plan and the 2007 Plan limits, (2)
the numbers and kinds of shares or other securities subject to the then outstanding awards, (3) the
exercise or hurdle price for each share or other unit of any other securities subject to then
outstanding Harris Stratex Class A stock options or SARs (without change in the aggregate purchase
or hurdle price as to which stock options or SARs remain exercisable), and (4) the repurchase price
of each share of restricted stock then subject to a risk of forfeiture in the form of a Harris
Stratex repurchase right. In the event of an acquisition, any then outstanding award will
accelerate in full to the extent not assumed or replaced by the acquirer of Harris Stratex. Upon
dissolution or liquidation of Harris Stratex other than as part of an acquisition or similar
transaction, each outstanding stock option or SAR shall terminate, but the participant shall have
the right, immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation, to exercise the stock option or SAR
to the extent exercisable on the date of dissolution or liquidation.
Change of Control. Award agreements pursuant to the 2007 Plan may provide, as determined by
the committee, that, in the event of a change of control, stock options and stock appreciation
rights will accelerate; the risk of forfeiture applicable to restricted stock and restricted stock
units will lapse; and all conditions on restricted stock and restricted stock units shall be deemed
to have been satisfied. A change of control is defined as the occurrence of any of (a) a
transaction after which 50% of the voting power of the resulting entity or ultimate parent entity
is represented by previously issued and outstanding Harris Stratex securities, or securities into
which the Harris Stratex securities were converted, (b) a merger, consolidation, share exchange or
acquisition after which less than 50% of the voting power of the resulting entity or ultimate
parent entity is represented by previously issued and outstanding Harris Stratex securities, or
securities into which the Harris Stratex securities were converted; (c) other than by means of a
merger, consolidation, share exchange or acquisition, a person or group of persons obtains more
than 30% of the total combined voting power of Harris Stratex (exempting Harris, until such time as
it beneficially owns less than 30% of the total voting power
71
of Harris Stratex, and also the
employee benefit plans and trustees of employee benefit plans for Harris Stratex and its affiliates
(other than Harris), and any underwriters temporarily holding securities prior to an offering of

Board of Directors of Harris Stratex
Initial Board of Directors: The board of directors of Harris Stratex has nine members. Five of
these directors are appointed by Harris as the sole holder of Harris Stratex Class B common stock
and include Howard L. Lance, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Harris, and Guy M.
Campbell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Harris Stratex,
each of whom was previously a director
of Harris Stratex, and also include Eric C. Evans, Dr. Mohsen Sohi and Dr. James C. Stoffel. The
four remaining directors of Harris Stratex are appointed by Stratex and include Charles D. Kissner,
Chairman of Stratex, as well as the following former Stratex directors: William A. Hasler, Clifford
H. Higgerson and Edward F. Thompson.
Harris
has agreed that, until the second anniversary of the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and
Stratex, one of the Harris directors must meet the independence
requirements for directors serving on an audit committee as prescribed by the NASDAQ rules and one
must not be an employee of Harris or any of its subsidiaries (without regard to Harris Stratex or
any of its subsidiaries). Stratex has agreed that two of the directors to be appointed by Stratex
must meet the independence requirements for directors serving on an audit committee as prescribed
by the NASDAQ rules. With respect to Harris Stratex, Eric C. Evans, William A. Hasler, Clifford H.
Higgerson, Dr. Mohsen Sohi, Dr. James C. Stoffel and Edward F. Thompson each meet the independence
requirements for directors serving on an audit committee as prescribed by the NASDAQ rules. In
addition, none of the proposed directors of Harris Stratex is an employee of Harris or any of its
subsidiaries (without regard to Harris Stratex of any of its subsidiaries). Both Harris and Stratex
have satisfied the requirements relating to directors imposed on them by the combination agreement.
The initial directors will serve until their successors are elected at the first annual
meeting of Harris Stratex. The Harris Stratex directors will be elected at each annual meeting.
Committees: At all times the audit, nominating and compensation committees of the board of
directors of Harris Stratex must comply with the applicable requirements under the NASDAQ rules

Voting Requirements: All actions of the board of directors of Harris Stratex must be approved
by a majority of a quorum.
Restrictions on Related Party Transactions
Harris and its affiliates are only permitted to enter into transactions with Harris Stratex if
the transaction is approved by a majority of the directors not elected by Harris or is on terms no
less favorable in any material respect to Harris Stratex than those that could have been obtained
by Harris Stratex, taking into consideration the then prevailing facts and circumstances, if it had
negotiated the transaction with an informed, unrelated third party. However, if a transaction has a
fair market value of more than $5 million, it must be approved in advance by a majority of the
Class A directors. Harris and Harris Stratex have agreed that certain specified transactions
relating to the payment of directors fees, employee benefits and other similar arrangements,
indemnification arrangements and tax-sharing arrangements between Harris Stratex and any other
entity with which Harris Stratex files a consolidated tax return or with which Harris Stratex is
part of a consolidated group for tax purposes will not be subject to these restrictions.
Standstill Provision
Harris has agreed that, for two years following the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and
Stratex, it will not acquire or dispose of any of its voting
securities in Harris Stratex with the following exceptions:
74
|
|
|
pursuant to preemptive rights provided to Harris Stratex further described in
Description of Harris Stratex Capital Stock Preemptive Rights; |
|
|
|
|
unless approved in advance by a majority of the non-Harris directors; and |
|
|
|
|
as a result of actions taken by Harris Stratex that do not increase or decrease Harris
percentage of total voting power which Harris and its affiliates are entitled to cast in
respect of all classes of capital stock or securities of Harris Stratex then outstanding and
entitled to vote generally in the election of Class A directors (including the holders of
Harris Stratex Class B common stock) beneficially owned by Harris. |
In addition, Harris has agreed that from the second to the fourth anniversary of the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and
Stratex, it will not (1)
beneficially own more than 80% of the voting power of Harris Stratex without the prior approval of
a majority of the non-Harris directors or (2) transfer all or a portion of its interest in Harris
Stratex to a person if, following such transfer, that person would be entitled to cast a majority
of the outstanding votes in an election of the directors of Harris Stratex (other than an election
of the Class B directors) unless a majority of the non-Harris directors approve such transfer in
advance or the person purchasing Harris interest in Harris Stratex offers to acquire all the
outstanding voting securities of Harris Stratex at the same price and on the same terms as apply to
the transfer from Harris.
There are no prohibitions or restrictions on any pro rata dividends or other pro rata
distributions of Harris Stratex voting securities to the stockholders of Harris or any bona fide
sale to the public of Harris Stratex securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or a
bona fide registered public offering.

Common Stock for more information regarding the terms and provisions of the Investor Agreement.

The Non-Competition Agreement |
In consideration for the issuance to Harris of Harris Stratex shares pursuant to the
combination agreement and the performance by Stratex of its obligations under the combination
agreement and the other agreements entered into in connection with the combination agreement,
Harris agrees that, during the period commencing on the date of the non-competition agreement and
ending on the fifth anniversary of such date, Harris will not, and will not permit any of its
subsidiaries to:
|
|
|
engage, directly or indirectly, in the restricted business (as defined below); |
|
|
|
|
form any person other than Harris Stratex and its subsidiaries, any such person a
covered person, or change or extend the current business activities of any existing
covered person for the purpose of engaging, directly or indirectly, in the restricted
business; or |
|
|
|
|
invest, directly or indirectly, in any covered person engaged, directly or indirectly, in
the restricted business in any material respect; |
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing Harris and/or its subsidiaries may:
|
|
|
collectively own less than 20% of the total equity interests in any covered person
engaged in the restricted business as long as none of the employees of Harris or any of its
subsidiaries is involved in the management of such covered person; |
|
|
|
|
participate as a passive investor with no management rights in any investment fund that
holds an ownership interest in covered persons engaged in the restricted business that is
managed by persons that are not affiliates of Harris (1) with any employee benefit or
retirement plan funds and (2) with any other funds subject, in the case of this clause (2)
only, to a maximum interest in such investment fund of 15%; and |
|
|
|
|
acquire a covered person or business unit of a covered person engaged in the restricted
business if (1) the restricted business contributed less than 20% of such covered persons
or business units, as applicable, total revenues (based on its latest annual audited
financial statements, if available) and (2) such covered person or Harris, as applicable,
divests or ceases to conduct the restricted business within 18 months after the acquisition
date. |
75
The term restricted business means the development, manufacture, distribution and sale of
any microwave radio systems and related components, systems and services which are (1) competitive
with the then current products of Stratex and the Microwave Communications Division, or (2) which are
substantially similar to such products in form, fit and function when used in terrestrial microwave
point-to-point communications networks that provide access and trunking of voice and data for
telecommunications networks.
Notwithstanding anything in the non-competition agreement to the contrary, the term
restricted business does not include, and the prohibition contained in the non-competition
agreement does in no way prohibit Harris and/or its subsidiaries from:
|
|
|
purchasing and reselling products produced by, and marked with the brands of, an
unaffiliated person in connection with the sale, service, design or maintenance of a system
that contains or uses microwave radios or related components, systems or services; or |
|
|
|
|
developing, manufacturing, distributing or selling microwave radios or related
components, systems or services for use by government entities. |
For purposes of the non-competition agreement, neither Harris Stratex nor any of its
subsidiaries are deemed to be a subsidiary or affiliate of Harris or any of its other subsidiaries
or affiliates.
|
|

use solely by Harris Stratex and its subsidiaries, a worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up,

the products of the MCD business (including products that have been partially manufactured)
existing as of the closing date, with certain limitations, for one year from the closing

|
|
|
|
With respect to any Harris Stratex business products and marketing and promotional

of their agents or affiliates are permitted to challenge, contest, call into question or raise any
questions concerning Harris ownership or the validity of the licensed trade name, the licensed
trademark, the stylized mark or any registration or application for registration for the licensed
trademark or the stylized mark or the fact that Harris Stratexs and its subsidiaries rights under
the agreement are solely those of a licensee, which rights terminate (except as otherwise set forth

In addition, Harris Stratex and its subsidiaries are required to comply with reasonable

property or assets; or |

Transition Services Agreement |
Services
Harris has agreed to provide Harris Stratex and Harris Stratexs affiliates certain services
for use in connection with the MCD business as that business is conducted by Harris Stratex. Harris will provide the
services in a manner, amount and quality substantially consistent with the identified services
provided by Harris to the MCD business six months before the effective date of the contribution
transaction and the merger.
78
These services primarily include the services which were provided by Harris to the Microwave
Communications Division prior to the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and
Stratex which were charged to the Microwave Communications Division, including information
services, human resources, financial services, facilities, legal support and supply chain
management services.
Upon the request of Harris Stratex, Harris may elect to provide additional services to Harris
Stratex on terms and fees to be determined by Harris and Harris Stratex. The parties currently
anticipate that, Harris may in the future provide information technology services to Harris Stratex that are different
in type and amount than that currently provided by Harris to the Microwave Communications Division.
These additional services will be negotiated pursuant to and subject to the terms of the transition
services agreement.
Exceptions to Harris Obligation to Perform
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Harris is not required to provide any service to
Harris Stratex (1) to the extent performing the service would require Harris to violate any law or
would result in the breach of any contract or agreement due to a failure to obtain certain
necessary consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals, (2) if Harris reasonably determines that
providing such service would result in a significant disruption of its or any of its affiliates
businesses or operations, would materially increase the scope of Harris responsibilities under the
transition services agreement or would be impracticable or (3) if any such service unreasonably
inhibits any employee of Harris or any of its affiliates from discharging his or her obligations to
Harris or any of its affiliates or places any employee of Harris or any of its affiliates in a
conflict of interest with respect to his or her employment with Harris or any of its affiliates.
Until an alternative approach is found or the problem is otherwise resolved to the satisfaction of
the parties, Harris has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a comparable
service, or in the case of data systems, support the function to which the data system relates or
permit Harris Stratex to have reasonable access to the data system so that Harris Stratex can
support the function itself.
However, if Harris Stratex elects to decommission, replace, modify or change its information
technology or communications systems, networks, equipment, configurations, processes, procedures,
practices or any other aspect of its business relationship relating to a service in a manner that
adversely affects Harris ability to provide such service as required under the transition services
agreement, then Harris has no liability regarding the effectiveness or quality of such service and
is excused from performance of such service until Harris Stratex mitigates the adverse effect of
the change, and Harris Stratex is responsible for all direct expenses incurred by Harris in
connection with the cessation and, if applicable, the resumption of such service. Additionally,
Harris may suspend its performance of any service and Harris Stratexs access to information
technology or communications systems used by Harris if, in Harris reasonable judgment, the
integrity, security or performance of these systems, or any data stored on the system, is being or
is likely to be jeopardized by the activities of Harris Stratex, its employees, agents,
representatives or contractors.
Cost of Services
In consideration of the provision of services by Harris under the transition services
agreement, Harris Stratex pays to Harris, without set-off, a service fee for each such service in
the amount equal to:
|
|
|
all internal costs allocated to the maximum extent reasonably practicable to providing
the service on a fully allocated basis consistent with the charges in effect at the time of the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and
Stratex,
and |
|
|
|
|
any additional out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by Harris in connection with
providing the service, including without limitation, payments or costs for an ongoing
license, grant or provision of rights or services. |
Term
The transition services agreement
will terminate regarding each service as provided by the transition
services agreement regarding such service, although the transition services agreement will terminate,
including all services provided pursuant to its terms, no later than the one-year anniversary of
the closing of the merger and the contribution transaction, unless the agreement is terminated
sooner by default or by Harris Stratex or extended by mutual written agreement of the parties. Any
termination or expiration of the agreement regarding any particular service will not terminate the
agreement regarding any other service provided under the agreement. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the transition services agreement, upon written notice received by Harris at least 30
days prior to the termination of the information technology services, Harris will continue to
provide the information technology service provided by Harris to Harris Stratex immediately prior
to such termination for an additional six-month period, although the cost-of-services provision in
the agreement will
79
not apply during such six-month period and the parties will negotiate in good
faith to determine a commercially reasonable fee for those services during that six-month period.
Termination
By Default: Harris has the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the applicable services
and/or the transition services agreement in the event that Harris Stratex fails to pay for any or
all services in accordance with the terms of the transition services agreement (and the payment is
not disputed by Harris Stratex in good faith in accordance with the terms of the transition
services agreement).
Either party has the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the applicable services and/or the
transition services agreement in the event that: (1) the other party defaults under the transition
services agreement in any material respect or (2) the other party becomes insolvent as provided in
the transition services agreement, subject to applicable cure periods.
By Harris Stratex: The agreement may be terminated with respect to all services by Harris Stratex
prior to the one-year anniversary of the closing of the merger and the contribution transaction
upon the expiration of the longer of (1) 30 days prior written notice to Harris or (2) the longest
notice period applicable to any service that has not been terminated or expired in accordance with
the transition services agreement at the time of such termination. Any particular service may be
separately terminated by Harris Stratex upon the expiration of the longer of (a) 30 days prior
written notice to Harris or (b) the required prior written notice to Harris as specified for such
service by the transition services agreement.
Indemnification
The transition services agreement includes customary indemnification.

Lease Agreement (Real Property) |
Harris
leases to Harris Stratex approximately 23,000 square feet of office
space previously
utilized by the Microwave Communications Divisions located in Melbourne, Florida, with a term of

termination fee: (1) one-years rent if such termination occurs in the first year of the two-year
term or (2) the lesser of six-months rent and the rent for the remaining term of the lease, if
such termination occurs after the first year of the term. Harris Stratex may not transfer the lease
without the consent of Harris.

Registration Rights Agreement |
Harris
and Harris Stratex entered into a registration rights agreement upon the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and
Stratex containing the following terms:
80
|
|
Securities that may be registered under the agreement include (1) Harris Stratex Class A
and Class B common stock or other securities acquired by Harris from Harris Stratex, (2) any
securities issued or distributed regarding, or in exchange for, any such Class A or Class B
common stock or securities (whether directly or indirectly or in one or a series of
transactions) pursuant to any reclassification, merger, consolidation, reorganization or
other transaction or procedure and (3) any securities issued or distributed regarding, or in
exchange for, any securities described in clause (2) or this clause (3) (whether directly or
indirectly or in one or a series of transactions) pursuant to any reclassification, merger,
consolidation, reorganization or other transaction or procedure, other than, in the case of
each of clauses (1), (2) and (3), any such securities that: |
|
|
|
have been offered and sold pursuant to a registration statement that has become
effective under the Securities Act; |
|
|
|
|
have been transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any
successor provision thereto) under circumstances after which such registrable securities
became freely transferable without registration under the Securities Act and any legend
relating to transfer restrictions under the Securities Act has been removed; or |
|
|
|
|
are transferable pursuant to paragraph (k) of Rule 144 (or any successor provision
thereto). |
|
|
Harris is permitted two shelf registrations upon request but solely for use in connection
with delayed underwritten offerings; |
|
|
|
Harris is permitted four non-shelf demand registration statements relating to
underwritten offerings that have become effective and that covered all the registrable
securities requested to be included; |
|
|
|
Any demand for registration must be in respect of securities with a market value of at
least $50 million based on the then prevailing market price, represent at least 5% of the
outstanding Harris Stratex common stock or represent all of the securities that can be
registered under the agreement by a holder and its affiliates; |
|
|
|
Harris is entitled to customary piggyback registration rights; and |
|
|
|
Harris Stratex has the right to postpone (or, if necessary or advisable, withdraw) the
filing, or delay the effectiveness of a registration statement or offers and sales of
applicable securities registered under a shelf demand registration statement if its board of
directors determines in good faith that such registration would interfere with any pending
financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other corporate transaction involving
Harris Stratex or any of its subsidiaries, or would otherwise be seriously detrimental to
Harris Stratex and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and furnishes to the electing holders
of registrable shares a copy of a resolution of its board of directors setting forth such
determination; provided, however, that Harris Stratex may not postpone a demand registration
or offers and sales of applicable securities under a shelf demand registration statement
more than once in any twelve-month period and that no single postponement shall exceed 90
days in the aggregate. |
|
|
|
Lease Agreement (Equipment and Machinery) |
Harris and Harris Stratex respective Canadian subsidiaries have entered into a lease agreement in
connection with the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and Stratex pursuant to which the
Canadian subsidiary of Harris Stratex leases from the Canadian subsidiary of Harris certain
machinery, equipment and other assets as specified in the lease agreement. In consideration of its
rights to the equipment, machinery and other assets, the Canadian subsidiary of Harris Stratex pays
rent to the Canadian subsidiary of Harris equal to 103% of the annual depreciation of the assets
leased pursuant to the lease agreement (determined in accordance with US GAAP), plus applicable
taxes (or approximately $7.313 million over the term of the lease). The term of the lease agreement
is five years from the closing date of the merger and the contribution transaction, unless
terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. In general terms, if the aggregate option and rental
payments made or due and payable under the lease agreement at the time of the termination exceed
$7.313 million, the Canadian subsidiary of Harris will pay such difference to the Canadian
subsidiary of Harris Stratex. However, if the aggregate option and rental payments made or due and
payable under the lease agreement at the time of the termination are less than $7.313 million, the
Canadian subsidiary of Harris Stratex will pay such difference to the Canadian subsidiary of
Harris. At any time during the term of the lease (but not earlier than six months after its
commencement), the Canadian subsidiary of Harris Stratex has the option to purchase the assets
leased pursuant to the lease agreement for an amount equal to the greater of $1.00 and 103% of the
net book value amount of all or that portion of the assets with respect to which the option is
being exercised (subject to certain conditions).
81
If the financial results of Harris Stratex are properly included in a Harris consolidated,
combined, or unitary income or franchise tax return, Harris Stratex will consent to the inclusion
of such results in the Harris tax return. Harris Stratex will reimburse Harris for any tax
liability of Harris Stratex reflected in a Harris tax return, and Harris will reimburse Harris
Stratex for use of any tax benefits of Harris Stratex that are used by Harris in its tax return.
Additionally, Harris will reimburse Harris Stratex for pre-closing tax liabilities that are paid by
Harris Stratex if those liabilities would not be assumed by Harris Stratex as part of the
contribution transaction. Harris Stratex will also reimburse Harris for its use of any tax assets
that are not assumed by Harris Stratex as part of the contribution transaction. These arrangements
also apply to subsidiaries of Harris and Harris Stratex, although for purposes of the tax sharing
agreement, Harris Stratex and its subsidiaries are not deemed to be subsidiaries of Harris.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are offering shares of Class A common stock upon the exercise of certain warrants
originally issued by Stratex Networks, Inc., as assumed by us pursuant to that certain Warrant
Assumption Agreement effective January 26, 2007.
The warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire five years after their initial
issuance date in September 2004. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A
common stock at an initial exercise price of $11.80 per share. This exercise price will be adjusted
if specific events occur. Harris Stratex does not have the right to call or otherwise redeem the
warrants. The warrants are exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 539,195 shares of Class A common
stock. The warrants are exercisable upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the
expiration date at our principal office, with the form of election to purchase on the reverse side
of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by either (1) full
payment of the exercise price, in U.S. currency, by certified check or money order payable to the
order of the Company, for the number of warrants being exercised or (2) by cashless exercise.
The cashless exercise option allows a warrant holder to elect to pay the exercise price due upon
exercise of the warrants using shares of Class A common stock instead of cash. In a cashless
exercise, Harris Stratex will determine the fair market value of the shares of Class A common stock
at the time of exercise, calculate the number of shares of Class A common stock that equals the
exercise price due (the full number is issued at first) and deduct (repurchase from the newly
issued shares of Class A common stock) that number of shares of Class A common stock from the
number of warrant shares issued. To the extent that the warrant holders elect to use the warrants
cashless exercise option, then Harris Stratex will issue fewer common shares than the total
stated above. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon
exercise of each warrant will be subject to adjustment in respect of events that may have a
dilutive effect on its underlying share ownership interest.
85
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The shares of Class A common stock offered hereby are issuable upon exercise of the warrants
at a per share exercise price of $11.80, subject to adjustment, in accordance with the terms of the
warrants.
86
DESCRIPTION OF HARRIS STRATEX CAPITAL STOCK
The following is a description of the material terms of Harris Stratexs capital stock as of
the effective time of the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and Stratex and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to (1) Harris Stratexs amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, (2) Harris Stratexs amended and restated bylaws, and (3) the applicable provisions
of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This description is not complete, and you should read the
full text of these documents to fully understand the terms and conditions of Harris Stratexs
capital stock.
Common Stock
Harris Stratex is authorized under its certificate of incorporation to issue up to 450,000,000
shares, of which 300,000,000 shares are designated as Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per
share, and 100,000,000 shares are designated as Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share.
Except as otherwise provided in Harris Stratexs amended and restated certificate of incorporation,
the Class A common stock and Class B common stock have the same rights and privileges and rank
equally, share ratably and are identical in all respects. As of
February 6, 2007, 24,784,176 shares of
Class A common stock have been issued and 32,850,965 shares of
Class B common stock have been issued. As of
that time, 3,309,551 shares were subject to outstanding options or other rights to purchase or acquire.
Dividends
Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Harris Stratex preferred stock that may
be issued from time to time, the holders of Harris Stratex common stock are entitled to receive
such dividends and distributions as may be declared on the common stock by the board of directors
of Harris Stratex out of funds legally available for payment.
Voting
Except where otherwise required by Harris Stratexs certificate of incorporation or bylaws,
the holders of Harris Stratex common stock vote together as a single class. Each share of Harris
Stratex common stock entitles the holder to one vote on each matter upon which stockholders of the
relevant class have the right to vote. However, Harris Stratexs amended and restated certificate
of incorporation provides the holders of Class B common stock with certain sole and exclusive
rights, as further described below. In particular, the holders of Class B common stock have the
sole and exclusive right to elect or remove the Class B directors. Further, Harris Stratexs
amended and restated certificate of incorporation cannot be amended or replaced to adversely affect
the rights of 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.
Rights on Liquidation
Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock of Harris Stratex that
may be issued from time to time, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of
Harris Stratex (whether voluntary or involuntary), the assets of Harris Stratex available for
distribution to stockholders will be distributed in equal amounts per share to the holders of Class
A common stock and the holders of Class B common stock, as if such classes constituted a single
class. However, the holders of common stock will be entitled to participate in such a distribution
only after Harris Stratex has paid in full all of its debts and after the holders of preferred
stock of Harris Stratex have received their liquidation preferences in full. It is not expected
that Harris Stratex will issue any preferred stock in the foreseeable future, although management
of Harris Stratex continually reviews the optional capital structure for Harris Stratex.
Subdivision, Combinations and Mergers
If Harris Stratex splits, subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of either the Class A
or the Class B common stock, the outstanding shares of the other class of Harris Stratex common
stock also will be split, subdivided or combined in the same manner proportionately and on the same
basis per share. In the event of any merger, statutory share exchange, consolidation or similar
form of corporate transaction involving Harris Stratex (regardless of whether Harris Stratex is the
surviving entity), the holders of Class A and Class B common stock will be entitled to receive the
same per share consideration, if any.
87
Special Rights of Holders of Shares of Class B Common Stock
Exchange Rights
Voluntary
The holders of Class B common stock have the right at any time to exchange:
|
|
|
any outstanding shares of Class A common stock held by the holder for an equal number of
shares of Class B common stock or |
|
|
|
|
any outstanding shares of Class B common stock held by the holder for an equal number of
shares of Class A common stock. |
Mandatory Exchange Rights
Each share of Class B common stock automatically converts into one outstanding share of Class
A common stock under the following circumstances:
|
|
|
the holders of all of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock (assuming that all
of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock which are then exchangeable for shares of
Class B common stock have been exchanged as described under Exchange Rights Voluntary
above) are collectively entitled to cast less than 10% of the total voting power; or |
|
|
|
|
such Class B common stock is transferred by a holder to any person who is not an
affiliate of the holder or nominee of the holder or one of its affiliates unless such
transfer is part of a transfer by the holder and its affiliates of all of the shares of
Class B common stock then owned by them. |
For purposes of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Harris Stratex,
total voting power means, at any time, the total number of votes then entitled to be cast
generally in the election of Class A directors by all holders of all classes of capital stock or
securities of Harris Stratex then outstanding and entitled to vote generally in the election of
Class A directors (including the holders of Class B common stock).
Board of Directors of Harris Stratex
If the Class B Common Stock Constitutes a Majority
At all times when the holders of all outstanding Class B common stock (assuming that all of
the outstanding shares of Class A common stock which are then exchangeable for shares of Class B
common stock have been exchanged as described under Exchange Rights Voluntary above) are
collectively entitled to cast a majority of the total voting power:
|
|
|
there will be nine directors of Harris Stratex; |
|
|
|
|
the holders of Class B common stock are permitted to elect five of the Harris Stratex directors separately as a class; and |
|
|
|
|
the quorum for action by the board of directors of Harris Stratex is a majority of the
board of directors of Harris Stratex, which majority must include at least four Class B
directors. |
The remaining four directors of Harris Stratex will be Class A directors nominated by a
nominating committee consisting solely of Class A directors then in office and elected by the
holders of Class A and Class B common stock voting together as a single class (as described above).
In addition, at all times when Harris Stratex is required to have directors who satisfy the
independence requirements for directors serving on an audit committee as prescribed by the NASDAQ
rules, a sufficient number of the Class A directors must satisfy those requirements so that there
are enough Class A directors, together with any Class B directors who are required to or otherwise
satisfy those independence requirements, to constitute an audit committee of the board of directors
of Harris Stratex which complies with the applicable NASDAQ rule.
88
If the Class B Common Stock Constitutes Less than a Majority
At all times when the holders of all outstanding Class B common stock (assuming that all of
the outstanding shares of Class A common stock which are then exchangeable for shares of Class B
common stock have been exchanged as described under Exchange Rights Voluntary above) are
collectively entitled to cast less than a majority but equal to or greater than 10% of the total
voting power, the holders of Class B common stock are permitted to elect a number of Class B
directors equal to its percentage of total voting power times the total number of directors
comprising the board of directors of Harris Stratex (rounding down to the next whole number of
directors).
The remaining directors of Harris Stratex will be Class A directors nominated by a nominating
committee meeting the requirements of the applicable NASDAQ rules and elected by the holders of
Class A and Class B common stock voting together as a single class.
In addition, at all times when Harris Stratex is required to have directors who satisfy the
applicable independence requirements prescribed by the NASDAQ rules, a sufficient number of the
Class A directors must satisfy those requirements so that there are enough Class A directors,
together with any Class B directors who are required to or otherwise satisfy those independence
requirements, to cause Harris Stratex to comply with the applicable NASDAQ rules.
Removal and Vacancies
Holders of Class B common stock have the right to remove any Class B director with or without
cause at any time for any reason and will have the right to elect any successor director to the
fill the vacancies created by such removal. Any vacancy created by the resignation, death or
incapacity of a Class B director will be filled by the other Class B directors then in office and,
if none, by the holders of Class B common stock, voting separately as a class.
Only holders of Harris Stratex Class A common stock, voting separately as a class, are
permitted to remove the Class A directors without cause or fill vacancies created by such removal,
if not filled by the Class A directors then in office. Holders of Class A and Class B common stock,
voting together as a single class, have the sole right to remove the Class A directors for cause
and the sole right to elect successor directors to fill any vacancy caused by such removal. Any
vacancy created by the resignation, death or incapacity of a Class A director will be filled by the
remaining Class A directors then in office and, if none, by the holders of Class A and Class B
common stock, voting separately as a class.
Freedom of Action and Corporate Opportunities
Other than opportunities offered to an individual who is a director or officer of both Harris
Stratex and the holder of the Class B common stock in writing solely in that persons capacity as
an officer or director of Harris Stratex, each holder of Class B common stock and its affiliates
have the right to, and have no fiduciary duty or other obligation to Harris Stratex or any Harris
Stratex stockholders not to, take any of the following actions:
|
|
|
engage in the same or similar activities or lines of business as Harris Stratex or any of
its subsidiaries or develop or market any products or services that compete, directly or
indirectly, with those of Harris Stratex or any of its subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
|
invest or own any interest in, or develop a business relationship with, any entity or
person engaged in the same or similar activities or lines of business as, or otherwise in
competition with, Harris Stratex or any of its subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
|
do business with any client or customer of Harris Stratex or any of its subsidiaries; or |
|
|
|
|
employ or otherwise engage any former officer or employee of Harris Stratex or any of its subsidiaries. |
Neither the holder of Class B common stock nor any of its affiliates nor any officer,
director, employee or former employee of the holder or any of its affiliates that is not currently
an employee of Harris Stratex or any of its subsidiaries (including any Class B directors) have any
obligation, or be liable, to Harris Stratex, any of its subsidiaries or any of their stockholders
for, or arising out of, the conduct described in the preceding paragraph or the exercise of Harris
rights under the combination agreement or any related agreement, and none of these persons will be
deemed to have acted (1) in bad faith, (2) in a manner inconsistent with the best interests of
Harris Stratex, any of its subsidiaries or any of their stockholders or (3) in a manner
inconsistent with, or opposed to, any fiduciary duty owed by them to Harris Stratex, any of its
subsidiaries or any of their stockholders because of such conduct or the exercise of their rights
as contemplated by the combination agreement and any related agreement.
89
If any holder of Class B common stock or any of its subsidiaries or any of their directors,
officers or employees, including any such individuals who are also directors, officers or employees
of Harris Stratex or any of its subsidiaries, acquires knowledge of a potential opportunity,
transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both the holder or any of its
subsidiaries and Harris Stratex, then each person or entity who has a relationship with the Class B
holder and Harris Stratex as described above will have the right to, and none of them shall have
any fiduciary duty or other obligation not to, pursue such corporate opportunity for itself or to
direct the corporate opportunity to any of its affiliates or to any third party. Under the
circumstances described in the immediately preceding sentence, no person or entity who has a
relationship with the Class B holder and Harris Stratex as described above:
|
|
|
will have any duty to communicate, offer or present the corporate opportunity to Harris
Stratex or any of its subsidiaries, directors, officers or employees; |
|
|
|
|
will have any liability to Harris Stratex, any of its subsidiaries or any of their
stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty or other duty, as a stockholder, director,
officer or employee of Harris Stratex or any of its subsidiaries or in any other capacity;
or |
|
|
|
|
will be deemed to have acted (1) in bad faith, (2) in a manner inconsistent with the best
interests of Harris Stratex, any of its subsidiaries or any of their stockholders or (3) in
a manner inconsistent with, or opposed to, any fiduciary duty owed by them to Harris
Stratex, any of its subsidiaries or any of their stockholders because any person or entity
who has a relationship with the Class B holder and Harris Stratex as described above pursues
or acquires the corporate opportunity for itself, directs the corporate opportunity to any
of its affiliates or any third party, or does not communicate information regarding the
corporate opportunity to Harris Stratex or any of its subsidiaries, directors, officers or
employees. |
However, a corporate opportunity offered to a person who is a director or officer of both Harris
Stratex and the holder will belong to Harris Stratex if the corporate opportunity is expressly
offered to the person in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Harris
Stratex.
Preemptive Rights
Holders of Class B common stock have the right to preserve their proportionate interest in
Harris Stratex by participating in any issuance of capital stock by Harris Stratex, but only when
the holders of Class B common stock hold a majority of the total number of votes entitled to be
cast generally in an election of the directors of Harris Stratex (other than an election of the
Class B directors). If it elects to participate in the issuance, each holder of Class B common
stock has the right to purchase up to that number of shares necessary to preserve its voting
percentage at the same price and on the same terms and conditions otherwise being offered by Harris
Stratex.
The foregoing preemptive right does not apply to any issuances pursuant to any stock option,
restricted stock or employee benefit plan of Harris Stratex. However, at the end of each month,
Harris Stratex will give the holders of Class B common stock written notice of all of the proposed
issuances pursuant to any stock option, restricted stock or employee benefit plan, and each holder
of Class B common stock will have the right within 15 days of receiving such notice to purchase for
cash up to a sufficient number of shares of Class B common stock to prevent its total voting power
from decreasing. The per share price for a purchase of Class B common stock pursuant to the monthly
exercise notice will be the closing price of the Class A common stock on the trading day
immediately preceding the date on which Harris Stratex received the notice of exercise.
Preferred Stock
Harris Stratex is authorized under its certificate of incorporation to issue up to 50,000,000
shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of
February 6, 2007, no shares of Harris
Stratex preferred stock have been issued and no such shares were subject to outstanding options and
other rights to purchase or acquire. However, shares of preferred stock may be issued in one or
more series from time to time by the board of directors, and the board is expressly authorized to
fix by resolution or resolutions the designations and the powers, preferences and rights, and the
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, of the shares of each series of preferred
stock. Subject to the determination of the board of directors of Harris Stratex, the Harris Stratex
preferred stock would generally have preference over Harris Stratex common stock with respect to
the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of a liquidation or
dissolution of Harris Stratex.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Harris Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of The Microwave Communications Division
of Harris Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, and the related
combined statements of operations, cash flows, and comprehensive income (loss) and division equity,
for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2006. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule on page F-30. These financial statements and schedule are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting
as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the combined financial position of The Microwave Communications Division of Harris
Corporation and subsidiaries at June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, and the combined results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2006, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken
as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

The Microwave Communications Division of Harris Corporation and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 and
For Each of the Three years in the Period Ended June 30, 2006
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations The Microwave Communications Division of Harris Corporation and
Subsidiaries (MCD or the Company) designs, manufactures and sells a broad range of microwave radios
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 to connect cell sites, fixed-access facilities, switching systems, land mobile
radio systems and other similar systems.
Basis of Presentation The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of
the Aftermarket Business, which consists of the accounts of the Microwave Communications Division
of Harris Corporation and its subsidiaries. As used in these notes, the terms MCD, we, our
and us refer to the combined operations of the Microwave Communications Division of Harris
Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts
have been eliminated. The combined financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying historical financial statements are presented on a carve-out basis and
reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that were directly attributable to MCD as it
was operated within Harris Corporation. MCDs combined statements of operations include all of the
related costs of doing business, including an allocation of certain general corporate expenses of
Harris Corporation, which were in support of MCD, including costs for finance, legal, treasury,
purchasing, quality, environmental, safety, human resources, tax, audit and public relations
departments and other corporate and infrastructure costs. MCD was allocated $12,425 thousand,
$6,189 thousand and $6,770 thousand of these overhead costs related to Harris Corporations shared
functions for the years ended June 30, 2006, July 1, 2005, and July 2, 2004, respectively. These
costs represent approximately 16.7%, 10.7% and 13.1%, respectively, of the total cost of these
shared services in each of the years ended June 30, 2006, July 1, 2005, and July 2, 2004. These
cost allocations were primarily based on a ratio of MCD sales to total Harris Corporation sales
multiplied by the total Headquarters Expense of Harris Corporation. Included in corporate
allocations expense for the year ended June 30, 2006, is a specifically identified amount of
$5,400 thousand related to the settlement of a lawsuit related to MCD. Management believes that
these allocations were made on a reasonable basis.
Use of Estimates These combined financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on
experience and other information available prior to issuance of the financial statements.
Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes
known.
Fiscal Year Our fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest June 30. Fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005
include 52 weeks, and fiscal 2004 includes 53 weeks.
Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are temporary cash investments with a maturity of three or
fewer months when purchased. These investments, including accrued interest, are carried at the
lower of cost or market.
Accounts Receivable We record receivables at net realizable value, which includes an
allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts
receivable balances. We calculate the allowance based on our history of write-offs, level of past
due accounts and economic status of the customers. See Note 3, Receivables for additional
information.
Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined by average cost and
first-in, first-out methods) or market. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record
a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product
demand and production requirements. See Note 4, Inventories for additional information regarding
inventories.
F-7
Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are carried on the basis of cost. Depreciation of
buildings, machinery and equipment is computed substantially by the straight-line method. 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. See Note 5, Plant and Equipment for
additional information regarding plant and equipment.
Capitalized Software Software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed is accounted for in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 86, Accounting for
the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed (FAS 86). Costs incurred
to acquire or create a computer software product must be expensed when incurred as research and
development until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Technological
feasibility is normally established upon completion of a detailed program design or, in its
absence, completion of a working model.
Capitalized software, accounted for under FAS 86, was $9,171 thousand at June 30, 2006 and
$7,855 thousand at July 1, 2005. Total amortization expense related to these capitalized software
amounts was $1,629 thousand in fiscal 2006, $1,483 thousand in fiscal 2005 and $480 thousand in
fiscal 2004.
Income Taxes Historically, our operations have been included in the consolidated federal
income tax returns filed by Harris Corporation. The provision for income taxes in the Combined
Statement of Operations is calculated on a separate tax return basis as if we had operated as a
stand-alone entity in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004. We follow the liability method of accounting for
income taxes. We record the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax
basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in our Combined Balance Sheets, as well as
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We follow very specific and detailed guidelines in
each tax jurisdiction regarding the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet
and provide necessary valuation allowances as required. We regularly review our deferred tax assets
for recoverability based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the
expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. See
Note 15, Income Taxes, for additional information regarding income taxes.
Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess cost of a business acquisition over the fair value
of the net assets acquired. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Statement 142), indefinite-life identifiable intangible
assets and goodwill are not amortized. Under the provisions of Statement 142, we are required to
perform an annual (or under certain circumstances more frequent) impairment test of our goodwill.
Goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill
impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting
unit, which we define as our business segments, with its net book value or carrying amount
including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of
the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is
unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of
the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill with
the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill
exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount
equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the
amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. The fair value of the reporting unit is
allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit including any unrecognized intangible
assets as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of
the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit. See Note 6, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets, for additional information regarding goodwill.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Identifiable Intangible Assets We assess the
recoverability of the carrying value of our long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets
with finite useful lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount
of the assets may not be recoverable. We evaluate the recoverability of such assets based upon the
expectations of undiscounted cash flows from such assets. If the sum of the expected future
undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss would be recognized
for the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount. See Note 5, Plant and Equipment,
and Note 6, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional information regarding long-lived
assets and identifiable intangible assets.
Operating Leases We lease office and manufacturing facilities under various operating
leases. These lease agreements generally include rent escalation clauses, and many include renewal
periods at the Companys option. The Company recognizes scheduled rent increases on a straight-line
basis over the lease term beginning with the date the Company takes possession of the leased space.
Other Accrued Items and Other Assets No accrued liabilities or expenses within the caption
Other accrued items on our Combined Balance Sheets exceed 5% of our total current liabilities as
of June 30, 2006 or as of July 1, 2005. No current assets other
F-8
than those already disclosed on the Combined Balance Sheets exceed 5% of our total current
assets as of June 30, 2006 or as of July 1, 2005. No assets within the caption Other assets on
the Combined Balance Sheets exceed 5% of total assets as of June 30, 2006 or as of July 1, 2005.
Warranties On product sales we provide for future warranty costs upon product delivery. The
specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and country
in which we do business. In the case of products sold by us, our warranties generally start from
the delivery date and continue for two to three years, depending on the terms.
Because our products are manufactured, in many cases, to customer specifications and their
acceptance is based on meeting those specifications, we historically have experienced minimal
warranty costs. Factors that affect our warranty liability include the number of installed units,
historical experience and managements judgment regarding anticipated rates of warranty claims and
cost per claim. We assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities every quarter and make
adjustments to the liability as necessary.
Network management software products generally carry a 30- to 90-day warranty from the date of
acceptance. Our liability under these warranties is either to provide a corrected copy of any
portion of the software found not to be in substantial compliance with the agreed-upon
specifications, or to provide a full refund.
Our software license agreements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying
customers against liabilities should our software products infringe a third partys intellectual
property rights. To date, we have not incurred any material costs as a result of such
indemnification and have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in our combined
financial statements. See Note 7, Accrued Warranties, for additional information regarding
warranties.
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 equity.
Stock Options and Share-Based Compensation Prior to the July 2, 2005 start of our fiscal
year 2006, we accounted for the share-based compensation granted under our stock incentive plans
under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related interpretations (APB 25). In accordance with APB 25 we used the
intrinsic-value method of accounting for stock option awards to employees and accordingly did not
recognize compensation expense for our stock option awards to employees in our Combined Statements
of Operations prior to the start of our fiscal year 2006, as all option exercise prices were 100%
of fair market value on the date the options were granted. Effective July 2, 2005, we implemented
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (Statement 123R) for
all share-based compensation, including share-based compensation that was not vested as of the end
of our fiscal year 2005. In accordance with Statement 123R we measure compensation cost for all
share-based payments (including employee stock options) at fair value and recognize cost over the
vesting period. See Note 2: Accounting Changes or Recent Pronouncements and Note 10: Stock Options
and Share-Based Compensation, for additional information regarding stock options, performance
shares and restricted shares including the impact of implementing Statement 123R on our results of
operations and cash flows.
Related Party Transactions Harris Corporation provides information services, human
resources, financial shared services, facilities, legal support, and supply chain management
services to us. The charges for these services are billed to us primarily based on actual usage.
These amounts are charged directly to MCD and are not part of the Corporate allocations expense
that is included on the Combined Statements of Operations. The amount charged to us for these
services was $10,874 thousand in fiscal 2006, $10,310 thousand in fiscal 2005, and $10,480 thousand
in fiscal 2004, and is included in the Cost of product sales and Engineering, selling and
administrative expenses captions on the Combined Statements of Operations.
There are other services Harris Corporation provides to us that are not directly charged to
us. These functions and amounts are explained above under the subtitle Basis of Presentation.
These amounts are included within Due to Harris Corporation on the Combined Balance Sheets.
Additionally, we have other receivables and payables in the normal course of business with Harris
Corporation. These amounts are netted within Due to Harris Corporation on the Combined Balance
Sheets. Total receivables from Harris Corporation were $7,484 thousand and $6,327 thousand at June
30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively. Total payables to Harris Corporation were $20,126 thousand
and $20,507 thousand at June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively.
Harris Corporation is the primary source of our financing and equity activities. During fiscal
2006, Harris Corporation provided $2,824 thousand to recapitalize one of our subsidiaries and
Harris Corporations net investment in us was reduced by $7,805 thousand. During fiscal 2005,
Harris Corporation provided $42,960 thousand to recapitalize some of our subsidiaries and Harris
Corporations
F-9
net investment in us was reduced by $13,305 thousand. During fiscal 2004, Harris Corporation
provided $2 thousand to capitalize a new subsidiary and Harris Corporations net investment in us
was reduced by $3,995 thousand.
Additionally, we have loans from Harris Corporation to fund our international entities and we
also provide excess cash at various locations to Harris Corporation. We recognize interest income
and expense on these loans. We recognized interest income of $291 thousand, $198 thousand and none
in fiscal year 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We recognized interest expense of $488 thousand,
$679 thousand and $140 thousand in fiscal year 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
We have sales to and purchases from other entities of Harris Corporation from time to time.
These transactions have been recorded at cost to the buying entity and the selling entity
recognizes a normal profit. Total sales to other entities of Harris Corporation were $7,162
thousand, $3,538 thousand and $239 thousand in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We
recognized profit associated with these related party sales of $616 thousand, $400 thousand and $1
thousand in fiscal year 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We also recognized costs associated with
these related party purchases of $245 thousand, $162 thousand and $1,326 thousand in fiscal 2006,
2005 and 2004, respectively.
Revenue Recognition Revenue primarily relates to product sales (other than for long-term
contracts) and service arrangements, which are recognized when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, collectibility is probable, delivery of a
product has occurred and title has transferred or services have been rendered. Further, if an
arrangement other than a long-term contract requires the delivery or performance of multiple
deliverables or elements under a bundled sale, we determine whether the individual elements
represent separate units of accounting under the requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue
00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21). If the separate elements meet
the requirements listed in EITF 00-21, we recognize the revenue associated with each element
separately. If the elements within a bundled sale are not considered separate units of accounting,
the delivery of an individual element is considered not to have occurred if there are undelivered
elements that are essential to the functionality. Unearned income on service contracts is amortized
by the straight-line method over the term of the contracts. Also, if contractual obligations
related to customer acceptance exist, revenue is not recognized for a product or service unless
these obligations are satisfied.
Revenue recognition from long-term contracts is 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. Recognition of profit on
long-term fixed-price contracts requires estimates of: the total contract value; the total cost at
completion; and the measurement of progress towards completion. Revenue and profits on
cost-reimbursable contracts are recognized as allowable costs are incurred on the contract and
become billable to the customer, in an amount equal to the allowable costs plus the profit on those
costs. Contracts are combined when specific aggregation criteria stated in the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position No. 81-1, Accounting for Performance of
Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (SOP 81-1), are met. Aggregation criteria
generally include closely interrelated activities performed for a single customer within the same
economic environment. Contracts generally are not segmented. If contracts are segmented, they meet
the segmenting criteria stated in SOP 81-1. 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 earnings based solely
on a single significant event, are generally not recognized until the event occurs. 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.
Revenue recognition for internally developed capitalized software is in accordance with
Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2). Typically, our capitalized
software sales do not have acceptance criteria in the contracts and proper documentation of Vendor
Specific Objective Evidence (VSOE) is obtained before revenue is allocated to the various elements
of the arrangement in accordance with SOP 97-2.
Royalty income is recognized on the basis of terms specified in the contractual agreements.
Retirement Benefits As of June 30, 2006, we provide retirement benefits to substantially all
employees primarily through Harris Corporations defined contribution retirement plan, which has
profit sharing, matching and savings elements. Contributions by us to the retirement plan are based
on profits and employees savings with no other funding requirements. We may make additional
contributions to the plan at our discretion. Retirement benefits also include an unfunded limited
healthcare plan for U.S.-based retirees
F-10
and employees on long-term disability. We accrue the estimated cost of these medical benefits,
which are not material, during an employees active service life.
Retirement plan expense amounted to $8,434 thousand in fiscal 2006, $7,057 thousand in fiscal
2005 and $6,819 thousand in fiscal 2004.
Financial Guarantees and Commercial Commitments Guarantees are contingent commitments issued
to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party in borrowing arrangements, such as
commercial paper issuances, bond financings and similar transactions. The terms of the guarantees
are equal to the remaining term of the related debt, which are limited to one year or less. The
maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under our guarantees at
June 30, 2006 is $392 thousand. At June 30, 2006, there are no guarantees accrued for in our
Combined Balance Sheets. We also hold insurance policies with third parties to mitigate the risk of
loss on a portion of these guarantees. We have entered into commercial commitments in the normal
course of business including surety bonds, standby letter of credit agreements and other
arrangements with financial institutions and customers primarily relating to the guarantee of
future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services to customers and to obtain
insurance policies with our insurance carriers. At June 30, 2006, we had commercial commitments of
$31,361 thousand.
Financial Instruments and Risk Management Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Statement 133), requires us to
recognize all derivatives on the Combined Balance Sheets 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 derivatives change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.
As part of our risk management program we use a combination of foreign currency options and
foreign currency forward contracts 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.
These derivatives have only nominal intrinsic value at the time of purchase and have a high degree
of correlation to the anticipated cash flows they are designated to hedge. Hedge effectiveness is
determined by the correlation of the anticipated cash flows and the maturity dates of the
derivatives used to hedge these cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes.
We account for our 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 133, such financial instruments are
marked-to-market using forward prices and fair 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 on the Combined Statement of
Operations when the underlying net cash flows are realized. Unrealized losses are recorded in
Other accrued items on the Combined Balance Sheets with the offset to other comprehensive income,
net of hedge ineffectiveness. Unrealized gains are recorded as Other assets on the Combined
Balance Sheets with the offset to other comprehensive income, net of hedge ineffectiveness.
We are exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to these
financial instruments, but we do not expect any of the counterparties to fail to meet their
obligations. To manage credit risks, we select counterparties based on credit ratings, limit our
exposure to a single counterparty under defined guidelines and monitor 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 Combined Statements of Operations as a component of
Non-operating income (loss).
2. Accounting Changes or Recent Pronouncements
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151,
Inventory Costs an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin 43, Chapter 4 (Statement 151).
Statement 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs and wasted material. Paragraph 5 of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) 43, Chapter 4
Inventory Pricing, previously stated that ...under certain circumstances, items such as idle
facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to
require treatment as current-period charges... Statement 151 requires that those items be
recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so
abnormal. In addition, Statement 151 requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to
the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Statement 151
is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We implemented the provisions of
F-11
Statement 151 during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, and it did not have a material impact
on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised
2004), Share-Based Payment (Statement 123R), which requires all companies to measure compensation
cost for all share-based payments (including employee stock options) at fair value and to recognize
cost over the vesting period. In March 2005, the SEC released SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
107, Share-Based Payment (SAB 107). SAB 107 provides the SEC staff position regarding the
application of Statement 123R, including interpretive guidance related to the interaction between
Statement 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations, and provides the staffs views regarding the
valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. In April 2005, the SEC
announced that companies may implement Statement 123R at the beginning of their next fiscal year
after June 15, 2005, or December 15, 2005 for small business issuers. We implemented the provisions
of Statement 123R and SAB 107 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 using the modified-prospective
method, and it did not have a material impact on our financial position. See Note 10, Stock Options
and Share-Based Compensation for further information and the required disclosures under Statement
123R and SAB 107, including the impact of the implementation on our results of operations and cash
flows.
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections (Statement 154), which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting
Changes and FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in
Interim Financial Statements. Statement 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and
reporting of a change in accounting principle. Statement 154 applies to all voluntary changes in
accounting principles and applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual
instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. Statement 154
requires retroactive application to prior period financial statements for a change in accounting
principle. Previously, a change in accounting principle was recognized by including the change in
the net income in the period of the change. Statement 154 is effective for fiscal years ending
after December 15, 2005. We implemented the provisions of Statement 154 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2006, and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting
for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards (FSP 123R-3). FSP 123R-3 provides a simplified
alternative method to calculate the beginning pool of excess tax benefits against which excess
future deferred tax assets (that result when the compensation cost recognized for an award exceeds
the ultimate tax deduction) could be written off under Statement 123R. The guidance in FSP 123R-3
was effective on November 10, 2005. We may make a one-time election to adopt the transition method
described in FSP 123R-3 before November 10, 2006. We are currently evaluating the available
transition alternatives of FSP 123R-3. We currently have implemented the provisions of Statement
123R following the guidance for calculating the pool of excess tax benefits described in paragraph
81 of Statement 123R and the guidance related to reporting cash flows described in paragraph 68 of
Statement 123R. If we elect the alternative method described in FSP 123R-3, the effect of applying
the transition method described in FSP 123R-3 must be reported as a change in accounting principle
in accordance with Statement 154 and the financial results for periods subsequent to the adoption
of Statement 123R must be retroactively restated. We will not be required, however, to justify the
preferability of our election, if we elect the transition method described in FSP 123R-3, and we
are free to choose either approach to the calculation of the pool of excess tax benefits. We do not
believe the adoption of this FSP 123R-3 will have a material impact on our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2006, the FASB issued FSP FAS 123(R)-4, Classification of Options and Similar
Instruments Issued as Employee Compensation that Allow for Cash Settlement upon the Occurrence of a
Contingent Event (FSP 123R-4). FSP 123R-4 addresses the classification of options and similar
instruments issued as employee compensation that allow for cash settlement upon the occurrence of a
contingent event. A cash settlement feature that can be exercised only upon the occurrence of a
contingent event that is outside the employees control does not meet the conditions in paragraphs
32 and A229 of Statement 123R until it becomes probable that the event will occur. The guidance in
FSP 123R-4 was effective on February 3, 2006. We implemented the provisions of FSP 123R-4 during
the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in
a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We are currently evaluating
the impact this interpretation will have on our financial statements. This interpretation will be
effective for us beginning July 1, 2007.

We have other identifiable intangible assets related primarily to technology acquired through
acquisitions. The unamortized other identifiable intangible assets, included in Identifiable
intangible assets on our Combined Balance Sheets, were $6,388 thousand at June 30, 2006 and $6,225
thousand at July 1, 2005. Accumulated amortization related to other identifiable intangibles was
$6,390 thousand at June 30, 2006 and $5,151 thousand at July 1, 2005. Our other identifiable
intangible assets are being amortized over their useful economic lives, which range from 2 to 17
years. The weighted average useful life of our other identifiable intangible assets is 15.3 years.
Amortization expense related to other identifiable intangible assets was $1,239 thousand in fiscal
2006, $868 thousand in fiscal 2005 and $824 thousand in fiscal 2004. The estimated amortization
expense for the five fiscal years following fiscal 2006 is: $1,249 thousand in fiscal 2007, $860
thousand in fiscal 2008, $770 thousand in fiscal 2009, $694 thousand in fiscal 2010, $694 thousand

8. Short-Term Debt
Short-term debt of $160 thousand at June 30, 2006 and $1,021 thousand at July 1, 2005 consists
solely of notes payable to banks in both years. The weighted average interest rate for bank notes
was 6.8% at June 30, 2006 and 9.0% at July 1, 2005.
We have uncommitted short-term lines of credit aggregating $20,196 thousand from various
international banks, $20,036 thousand of which was available on June 30, 2006. These lines provide
for borrowings at various interest rates, typically may be terminated upon notice, may be used on
such terms as mutually agreed to by the banks and us and are reviewed annually for renewal or
modification.
9. Restructuring Charges
During fiscal 2006, we recorded $3,691 thousand of restructuring charges. In order to reduce
expenses and increase operational efficiency, we implemented a restructuring plan in the second
quarter of fiscal 2006 which included moving manufacturing at our Montreal, Canada location to our
San Antonio, Texas manufacturing plant. As part of the restructuring plan, we reduced the workforce
by 110 employees and recorded restructuring charges for employee severance benefits of $2,262
thousand and building lease obligations and transition costs of $1,429 thousand in fiscal 2006. In
connection with this restructuring, we also recorded $1,095 thousand for fixed asset write-offs.
We did not record any restructuring charges in fiscal 2005.
In fiscal 2004, we recorded $6,742 thousand of restructuring charges. We reduced the workforce
by 95 employees and recorded restructuring charges for employee severance and benefits of $5,439
thousand. Additionally, we recorded $685 thousand for the impairment of two lease obligations and
$618 thousand for legal fees and other costs. In connection with this restructuring, we also
recorded $506 thousand for fixed asset write-offs.

10. Stock Options and Share-Based Compensation
As of June 30, 2006, Harris Corporation had three shareholder-approved stock incentive plans
for employees. Harris Corporation currently has the following types of share-based awards
outstanding under these plans that MCD employees participate in: stock options, performance share
awards, performance share unit awards and restricted stock awards. We believe that such awards more
closely align the interests of our employees with those of our shareholders. Certain share-based
awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined under our stock
incentive plans). Shares of common stock reserved for future awards under our stock incentive plans
were 26,664,427 as of June 30, 2006.
The compensation cost related to our share-based awards that was charged against income was
$1,678 thousand for the year ended June 30, 2006. There was no income tax benefit included in net
income for share-based compensation arrangements for the year ended June 30, 2006. The $1,678
thousand of compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements was included in the
Engineering, selling and administrative expenses captions in the Combined Statements of
Operations. None of the compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements was
capitalized as part of inventory or fixed assets as of June 30, 2006.
The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income (loss) for fiscal 2005 and
fiscal 2004 assuming we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement 123R to all
previously granted share-based awards after giving consideration to potential forfeitures during
such periods. The fair value of each option grant is estimated at the grant date using the
Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model based on the assumptions listed below under Stock
Options. The estimated fair value of options granted is amortized to expense over their vesting
period, which is generally three years.

Stock Options
The following information relates to stock options that have been granted under our
shareholder-approved stock incentive plans. Option exercise prices are 100% of fair market value on
the date the options are granted. Options may be exercised for a period set at the time of grant,
which generally ranges from seven to ten years after the date of grant, and they generally become
exercisable in installments, which are typically 50% one year from the grant date, 25% two years
from the grant date and 25% three years from the grant date. A significant number of options
granted by us in both fiscal 2005 and 2006 are subject to a vesting schedule in which they are 50%
exercisable prior to the end of such fiscal year, a period of approximately ten months from the
grant date.
Management prepared the valuation of stock options based on the method and assumptions
provided herewith. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model which uses assumptions noted in the following table.
Expected volatility is based on implied volatility from traded options on our stock, historical
volatility of our stock price over the last ten years and other factors. The expected term of the
options is based on historical observations of our stock over the past ten years, considering
average years to exercise for all options exercised, average years to cancellation for all options
cancelled and average years remaining for outstanding options, which is calculated based on the
weighted-average vesting period plus the weighted-average of the difference between the vesting
period and average years to exercise and cancellation. The risk-free rate for periods within the
contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury curve in effect at the time of grant.

Restricted Stock Awards
The following information relates to awards of restricted stock awards that have been granted
to employees under our stock incentive plans. The restricted stock shares are not transferable
until vested and the restrictions lapse upon the achievement of continued employment over a
specified time period.
The fair value of each restricted stock award grant is based on the closing price of our stock
on the date of grant and is amortized to expense over its vesting period. At June 30, 2006, there
were 40,000 shares of restricted stock awards outstanding.

As of June 30, 2006, there was $231 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related
to restricted stock awards under our stock incentive plans. This cost is expected to be recognized
over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. There were no shares of restricted stock that vested
during fiscal 2006. The weighted-average grant date price of the 6,000 shares of restricted stock
granted during fiscal 2006 was $37.19.
Performance Share Awards
The following information relates to awards of performance share awards and performance share
units that have been granted to employees under our stock incentive plans. Generally, performance
share and performance share unit awards are subject to performance criteria such as meeting
predetermined earnings and revenue targets for a three-year plan period. These awards also
generally vest at the expiration of the same three-year period. The final determination of the
number of shares to be issued in respect of an award is determined by our Board of Directors, or a
committee of our Board.
The fair value of each performance share award is based on the closing price of our stock on
the date of grant and is amortized to expense over its vesting period, if achievement of the
performance measures is considered probable. At June 30, 2006 there were 52,300 performance shares
awards outstanding.
The fair value of performance share units, which is distributed in cash, is equal to the most
probable estimate of intrinsic value at the time of distributions and is amortized to compensation
expense over the vesting period. At June 30, 2006, we had 2,100 shares of performance share units.

2006, are as follows:

Under our domestic retirement plans, most employees may select an option to invest in Harris
common stock at 70% of current market value limited to the lesser of (a) 1% of their compensation
and (b) 20% of a participants total contribution to the plan, which is matched by us. The discount
from fair market value on common stock purchased by employees under the domestic retirement plans
is charged to compensation expense in the period of the related purchase.
11. Research and Development
Company-sponsored research and product development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs
were $18,865 thousand in fiscal 2006, $19,183 thousand in fiscal 2005 and $20,760 thousand in
fiscal 2004.
Customer-sponsored research and development costs are incurred pursuant to contractual
arrangements and are accounted for principally by the percentage-of-completion method. There was no
customer-sponsored research and development in fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 or fiscal 2004.
12. Interest Expense
Total interest expense was $975 thousand in fiscal 2006, $966 thousand in fiscal 2005 and $140
thousand in fiscal 2004. Interest attributable to funds used to finance major long-term projects
can be capitalized as an additional cost of the related asset. No interest was capitalized in
fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 or fiscal 2004. Interest paid was $971 thousand in fiscal 2006, $901
thousand in fiscal 2005, and $67 thousand in fiscal 2004.
13. Lease Commitments
Total rental expense amounted to $3,977 thousand in fiscal 2006, $3,931 thousand in fiscal
2005, and $3,866 thousand in fiscal 2004. Future minimum rental commitments under leases with an
initial lease term in excess of one year, primarily for land and buildings, amounted to
approximately $6,554 thousand at June 30, 2006. These commitments for the years following fiscal
2006 are: fiscal 2007 $3,649 thousand; fiscal 2008 $1,896 thousand; fiscal 2009 $987
thousand; and fiscal 2010 $22 thousand.
14. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity
We use foreign exchange contracts and options to hedge both balance sheet and off-balance
sheet future foreign currency commitments. Generally, these foreign exchange contracts offset
foreign currency denominated inventory and purchase commitments from suppliers; accounts receivable
from, and future committed sales to, customers; and intercompany loans. We believe the use of
foreign currency financial instruments should reduce the risks that arise from doing business in
international markets. At June 30, 2006, we had open foreign exchange contracts with a notional
amount of $19,370 thousand, of which $7,130 thousand were classified as cash flow hedges and
$12,240 thousand were classified as fair value hedges. This compares to total foreign exchange
contracts with a notional amount of $34,530 thousand as of July 1, 2005, of which $26,897 thousand
were classified as cash flow hedges and $7,633 thousand were classified as fair value hedges. At
June 30, 2006, contract expiration dates range from less than one month to 11 months with a
weighted average contract life of less than a month.
More specifically, the foreign exchange contracts classified as cash flow hedges are primarily
being used to hedge currency exposures from anticipated cash flow expenses related to our Mexican
office. As of June 30, 2006, we estimated that a pre-tax loss of $67 thousand would be reclassified
into earnings from comprehensive income within the next 11 months related to these cash flow
hedges.
The net gain included in our earnings in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 representing the amount of
fair value and cash flow hedges ineffectiveness was not material. No amounts were recognized in
our earnings in fiscal 2006, 2005, and 2004 related to the component of the derivative instruments
gain or loss excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. In addition, no amounts were
recognized in our earnings in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 related to hedged firm commitments that no
longer qualify as fair value hedges. All of these derivatives were recorded at their fair value on
the balance sheet in accordance with Statement 133.

United States income taxes have not been provided on $1,478 thousand of undistributed earnings
of international subsidiaries because of our intention to indefinitely reinvest these earnings. The
determination of unrecognized deferred U.S. tax liability for the undistributed earnings of
international subsidiaries is not practicable. Tax loss carryforwards as of June 30, 2006 have
expiration dates ranging between one year and no expiration in certain instances. The amount of
domestic, international and state and local tax loss carryforwards as of June 30, 2006 was $103,274
thousand. Pre-tax income (loss) of international subsidiaries was $(21,463) thousand in fiscal
2006, $11,435 thousand in fiscal 2005, and $(29,598) thousand in fiscal 2004. Income taxes paid
were $1,079 thousand in fiscal 2006, $245 thousand in fiscal 2005, and $86 thousand in fiscal 2004.
The valuation allowance increased $18,775 thousand from $50,408 thousand in fiscal 2005 to $69,183
thousand in fiscal 2006. The valuation allowance has been established for financial reporting
purposes, to offset certain domestic and foreign deferred tax assets due to uncertainty regarding
our ability to realize them in the future.

cellular network providers and private network users within North America. Our International
microwave region designs, manufactures, sells and services microwave radio products, primarily for
cellular network providers and private network users outside of North America. Our NetBoss product
line develops, designs, produces, sells and services network management systems, primarily for
cellular network providers and private network users. The President of MCD has been identified as
the Chief Operating Decision-Maker (CODM) as defined by FAS 131. Resources are allocated to each of
these segments using information based on their operating income (loss). Information related to
assets, capital expenditures and depreciation and amortization for the operating segments is not
part of the discrete financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM.
The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1:
Significant Accounting Policies. We evaluate each segments performance based on its revenue and
operating income (loss), which we define as cost of goods sold less period costs.

17. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, as a normal incident of the nature and kind of businesses in which we are
engaged, various claims or charges are asserted and litigation commenced against us arising from or
related to: product liability; personal injury; patents, trademarks or trade secrets; labor and
employee disputes; commercial or contractual disputes; the sale or use of products containing
asbestos; breach of warranty; or environmental matters. 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 or arbitral awards. We have recorded accruals for losses related to those matters that we
consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies, if any, are
recognized when they are realized and legal costs are generally expensed when incurred. While it is
not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims or
proceedings may be disposed or decided unfavorably to us, based upon available information, in the
opinion of management, settlements and final judgments, if any, would not have a material adverse
effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Microwave Communications Division of Harris Corporation and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
At September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005 and
For the Three Months Ended September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations The Microwave Communications Division of Harris Corporation and
Subsidiaries (MCD or the Company) designs, manufactures and sells a broad range of microwave radios
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 to connect cell sites, fixed-access facilities, switching systems, land mobile
radio systems and other similar systems.
Basis of Presentation The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of
the Aftermarket Business, which consists of the accounts of the Microwave Communications Division
of Harris Corporation and its subsidiaries. As used in these notes, the terms MCD, we, our
and us refer to the combined operations of the Microwave Communications Division of Harris
Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts
have been eliminated. The combined financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 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 29, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the full fiscal year or any subsequent period. The preparation of financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The accompanying historical financial statements are presented on a carve-out basis and
reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that were directly attributable to MCD as it
was operated within Harris Corporation. MCDs combined statements of operations include all of the
related costs of doing business, including an allocation of certain general corporate expenses of
Harris Corporation, which were in support of MCD, including costs for finance, legal, treasury,
purchasing, quality, environmental, safety, human resources, tax, audit and public relations
departments and other corporate and infrastructure costs. MCD was allocated $1,621 thousand and
$1,536 thousand of these overhead costs related to Harris Corporations shared functions for the
first three months of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. These costs represent approximately 9.9%
and 9.9%, respectively, of the total cost of these shared services in each of the first three
months of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. These cost allocations were primarily based on a
ratio of MCD sales to total Harris Corporation sales multiplied by the total Headquarters Expense
of Harris Corporation. Management believes that these allocations were made on a reasonable basis.
Related Party Transactions Harris Corporation provides information services, human
resources, financial shared services, facilities, legal support, and supply chain management
services to us. The charges for these services are billed to us primarily based on actual usage.
These amounts are charged directly to MCD and are not part of the Corporate allocations
expense that is included on the Combined Statements of Operations. The amount charged to us for
these services was $4,470 thousand in the first three months of fiscal 2007 and $3,148 thousand in
the first three months of fiscal 2006, and is included in the Cost of product sales and
Engineering, selling and administrative expenses captions on the Combined Statements of
Operations.
There are other services Harris Corporation provides to us that are not directly charged to
us. These functions and amounts are explained above under the subtitle Basis of Presentation.
These amounts are included within Due to Harris Corporation on the Combined Balance Sheets.
Additionally, we have other receivables and payables in the normal course of business with Harris
Corporation. These amounts are netted within Due to Harris Corporation on the Combined Balance
Sheets. Total receivables from Harris Corporation were $6,847 thousand and $5,189 thousand at
September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively. Total payables to Harris Corporation were
$9,921 thousand and $11,939 thousand at September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively.
F-26
Harris Corporation is the primary source of our financing and equity activities. During the
first three months of fiscal 2007, Harris Corporations net investment in us was increased by
$2,754 thousand. During the first three months of fiscal 2006, Harris Corporations net investment
in us was increased by $2,847 thousand.
Additionally, we have loans from Harris Corporation to fund our international entities and we
also provide excess cash at various locations to Harris Corporation. We recognize interest income
and expense on these loans. We recognized interest income of $100 thousand and $72 thousand in the
first three months of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. We recognized interest expense of $116
thousand and $99 thousand in the first three months of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively.
We have sales to and purchases from other entities of Harris Corporation from time to time.
These transactions have been recorded at cost to the buying entity and the selling entity
recognizes a normal profit. Total sales to other entities of Harris Corporation were $554 thousand
and $429 thousand in the first three months of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. We recognized
profit associated with these related party sales of $66 thousand and none in the first three months
of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. We also recognized costs associated with these related party
purchases of $1,039 thousand and none in the first three months of fiscal 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
2. Accounting Changes or Recent Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements (Statement 157). Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. Statement 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require
fair value measurement in which the FASB concluded that fair value was the relevant measurement,
but does not require any new fair value measurements. Statement 157 will be effective for us
beginning in fiscal 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact Statement 157 will have on our
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (Statement 158),
which amends FASB Statements No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions; No. 88, Employers
Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination
Benefits; No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions; and
No. 132(R), Employers Disclosures about Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits. Statement 158
requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit
postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to
recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through the
comprehensive income of a business entity. Statement 158 also requires an employer to measure the
funded status of a plan as of the date of the employers year-end balance sheet, with limited
exceptions. The portion of Statement 158 that requires the recognition of overfunded or underfunded
status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability will be effective for us
as of June 29, 2007. The portion of Statement 158 that requires an employer to measure the funded
status of a plan as of the date of the employers year-end balance sheet will be effective for us
in fiscal 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact Statement 158 will have on our financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 Considering the Effects
of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements
(SAB 108). SAB 108 expresses the SECs views regarding the process of quantifying misstatements in
financial statements. The view of the SEC is that the effects of prior year errors in the balance
sheet must be taken into account for the current year income statement financial reporting. We
implemented the provisions of SAB 108 during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and it did not have a
material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

the first three months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively.

administrative expenses caption on the Condensed Combined Statements of Operations (unaudited).

7. Stock Options and Share-Based Compensation
As of September 29, 2006, Harris Corporation had three shareholder-approved stock incentive
plans for employees. Harris Corporation currently has the following types of share-based awards
outstanding under these plans that MCD employees participate in: stock options, performance share
awards, performance share unit awards and restricted stock awards. We believe that such awards more
closely align the interests of our employees with those of our shareholders. The compensation cost
related to our share-based awards to MCD employees that was charged against pre-tax income was $581
thousand for the quarter ended September 29, 2006 compared to $453 thousand for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005. The number of shares granted to MCD employees during the three months ended
September 29, 2006 under these plans were 87,800 stock option grants; 18,600 performance share
awards; 2,400 performance share unit awards and 18,000 restricted stock awards.

8. Business Segments
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (FAS 131),
established annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprises operating segments and
related disclosures about geographic information and major customers. Operating segment information
for the first three months of fiscal 2007 and 2006 is presented in accordance with FAS 131. We are
organized into three operating segments, around the markets we serve: North America microwave
region, International microwave region and the NetBoss product line. Our North America microwave
region designs, manufactures, sells and services microwave radio products, primarily for cellular
network providers and private network users within North America. Our International microwave
region designs, manufactures, sells and services microwave radio products, primarily for cellular
network providers and private network users outside of North America. Our NetBoss product line
develops, designs, produces, sells and services network management systems, primarily for cellular
network providers and private network users. The President of MCD has been identified as the Chief
Operating Decision-Maker (CODM) as defined by FAS 131. Resources are allocated to each of these
segments using information based on their operating income (loss). Information related to assets,
capital expenditures and depreciation and amortization for the operating segments is not part of
the discrete financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM.
The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1:
Significant Accounting Policies of our Combined Financial
Statements beginning on page F-7. We
evaluate each segments performance based on its revenue and operating income (loss), which we
define as cost of goods sold less period costs.

HARRIS STRATEX NETWORKS, INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
three months ended September 30, 2006 and for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 assume the
purchase business combination between the Microwave Communications Division and Stratex occurred on
July 1, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively. The following unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated balance sheet assumes the purchase business combination had been completed on
September 30, 2006.
In accordance with the terms of the combination agreement, Harris and Stratex created a new
Delaware corporation named Harris Stratex for the purpose of combining the Microwave Communications
Division with Stratex.
On January 26, 2007, Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Harris Stratex
merged with and into Stratex, with Stratex continuing as the surviving corporation.
Simultaneously with the merger of Stratex and Merger Sub, Harris
contributed substantially all
the assets comprising its Microwave Communications Division, including $32.1 million in cash, to
Harris Stratex. In addition, Harris allocated, as appropriate and reasonably practicable, its
liabilities between its Microwave Communications Division and any other businesses or divisions of
Harris and, Harris Stratex assumed those liabilities of Harris that
primarily resulted from or primarily arose out of the Microwave Communications Division. The
liabilities of the Microwave Communications Division that were assumed by Harris Stratex in the
contribution transaction included the $90.7 million of liabilities at September 29, 2006 identified
on the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets of the Microwave Communications Division beginning on page
F-3 of this prospectus. The $3.1 million of liabilities at September 29, 2006 due to Harris
identified on the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets of the Microwave Communications Division
beginning on page F-3 of this prospectus were canceled in connection with the
contribution transaction. In addition, Harris Stratex assumed the contingent liabilities
of the Microwave Communication Division, which by their nature were
not quantifiable or
identifiable, in accordance with the third sentence of this paragraph. There are no loss
contingencies that were at least a reasonable possibility that an allocable loss or additional loss
was incurred by the Microwave Communications Division as of the date of the business
combination/contribution transaction.
In
the merger, each share of Stratex common stock was automatically converted into
one-fourth of a share of Harris Stratex Class A common stock.
This exchange ratio had the
same effect as if Stratex had effected a one-for-four reverse split of its outstanding common stock
immediately prior to the merger. In exchange for its contribution of the Microwave Communications
Division to Harris Stratex, Harris Stratex issued to Harris
32,850,965 shares of Harris Stratex Class B common stock.
The merger and the contribution transaction will be treated as a purchase business combination
for accounting purposes with the Microwave Communications Division being the acquirer, and,
therefore, Stratexs assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded at their estimated
fair value. For purposes of the pro forma financial statements, it was assumed that Stratexs
common stock price is $4.00 per share and that approximately 100 million shares of Stratexs common
stock (based on the treasury stock method using a price per share of
$20.80) were outstanding at the
date of completion of the merger and the contribution transaction. Using these assumptions,
approximately 32.7 million shares of Harris Stratex Class B
common stock were issued in exchange
for the assets of the Microwave Communications Division and cash. We have assumed that an aggregate
56.6 million shares of Harris Stratex Class A common stock
were issued (including the 32.7
million shares of Harris Stratex Class B common stock issued to Harris which are convertible at any
time into shares of Harris Stratex Class A common stock) and
$17.7 million in cash was paid to
Harris Stratex by Harris so that the net assets of the Microwave
Communications Division included $32.1 million in cash after intercompany balances between the Microwave Communications
Division and Harris are paid prior to the completion of the transactions.
The allocations of the purchase price to Stratexs assets, including intangible assets, and
liabilities were only preliminary allocations based on estimates of fair values and will change when
actual fair values are determined. Among the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, or SFAS 141, criteria have been established for
determining whether intangible assets should be recognized separately from goodwill. Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, or SFAS 142,
provides, among other guidelines, that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will
not be amortized, but rather are tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Management of
both MCD and Stratex believe that certain trade names owned by Stratex, including Stratex, have
indefinite lives based upon an analysis utilizing the criteria in SFAS 142.
F-31
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not
include any revenue or cost saving synergies which may be achievable subsequent to the closing of
the purchase business combination.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 assumes
that the purchase business combination took place on that date with the Microwave Communications
Division as the accounting acquirer of Stratex at the estimated fair value in accordance with SFAS
141. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 assume that the purchase
business combination took place on July 1, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively. The Harris Stratex
fiscal year will end on the closest Friday to June 30th. The accompanying unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and
for the year ended June 30, 2006 combines the pro forma three months ended September 30, 2006 and
the pro forma twelve months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, for both the Microwave
Communications Division and Stratex. Reclassifications have been made to the historical financial
statements of the Microwave Communications Division and Stratex to conform to the presentation
expected to be used by Harris Stratex.
The pro forma condensed consolidated financial data shown under this heading is unaudited, is
presented for informational purposes only, is not necessarily indicative of the financial position
or results of operations that would actually have occurred had the merger, the combination
transaction or the related transactions been consummated as of the dates or at the beginning of the
periods presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial
position. The information presented below should be read together with the historical consolidated
financial statements of Stratex and MCD, including the related notes,
beginning on page F-41
of this prospectus, in the case of Stratex, and beginning on page F-3 of this prospectus,
in the case of MCD, as well as with Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations of MCD beginning on page 21 of this prospectus and Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Stratex beginning on
page 36 of this prospectus. See also Risk Factors
beginning on page 3 and
Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
included elsewhere in this prospectus.
The
services the Microwave Communications Division received from Harris that will
continue after the combination of the Microwave Communications Division and
Stratex are covered by transition
service arrangements. Currently, the Microwave Communications Division reflects these items in the
Combined Financial Statements of the Microwave Communications Division beginning on page
F-3 of this prospectus as related party transactions with Harris; therefore, no pro forma
adjustment is made to reflect these arrangements.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This purchase price allocation is preliminary for all assets and liabilities being acquired by Harris Stratex.
|
|
|
(D) |
|
Adjustment is to eliminate deferred tax assets on the Microwave Communications
Divisions historical Combined Balance Sheet because Harris will retain 100% of these
assets at the time of the transaction and they will not become part of Harris Stratex. |
|
(E) |
|
Adjustment to record capital lease obligation related to the equipment lease between Harris Stratex Networks Canada ULC and Harris Canada, Inc. For more
information regarding this lease obligation, see Certain Relationships and Related Transactions Lease Agreement (Equipment and Machinery) beginning on
page 77 of this prospectus. |
|
(F) |
|
Adjustment to reduce deferred revenue of Stratex, which is classified as other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, by $2.0 million
because Harris Stratex is not expected to have future obligations to deliver product or perform services on the contracts or agreements related to this
deferred revenue after the closing date of the transaction and increased by $3.8 million for payout of the single trigger employment agreements. No amount
of excise tax reimbursement is included because the calculated amount was not available. |
|
(G) |
|
Adjustment is for the establishment of a deferred tax liability related to the future amortization of identifiable intangible assets in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes. |
|
(H) |
|
Elimination of due to Harris Corporation balance against stockholders and division equity. |
|
(I) |
|
Adjustment made to reflect the $17.7 million cash contribution made by Harris as discussed in footnote A. above; elimination of deferred taxes noted in D.
above; adjustment to record capital lease obligation noted in E. above; elimination of due to Harris Corporation balance of $3.1 million noted in G. above;
and $336.2 million to record the net assets of Stratex at fair value in accordance with FAS 141(3). |
|

that would have been recognized by Stratex had they implemented the provisions of Statement of Financial

The services related to these costs include audit fees, external legal fees, internal legal costs and CEO

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Stratex Networks, Inc.
San Jose, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Stratex Networks, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements
of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
March 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Oversight Board
(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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Stratex Networks, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2006 and 2005,
and the results of their operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended March 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting
as of March 31, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report
dated June 14, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on managements assessment of the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting and an adverse opinion on
the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting because of a material
weakness.

Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the
Exchange Act. Our internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management
and members of our Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (GAAP).
Our management performed an assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting as of
March 31, 2005 and identified the following two material weaknesses in internal control over
financial reporting existing as of March 31, 2005. For the March 31, 2005 reporting period,
management concluded that the Company 1) did not maintain effective controls over the determination
of revenue recognition for a non-routine complex revenue transaction and 2) did not have enough
review procedures on the financial closing and reporting process. Management believes that in
fiscal 2006 we have remediated the weakness related to revenue recognition due to the expansion of
internal review and clarification of internal policies which have been distributed to finance
personnel worldwide. With respect to the weakness related to inadequate review of the financial
statements of the foreign operations and the period-end financial closing and reporting process for
the Companys consolidated operations, we have identified, developed and began to implement a
number of measures to strengthen our internal control in this area. These measures included: hiring
additional finance personnel, expanding financial statement reviews, establishing internal audit
with a focus on the adequacy of internal controls over financial reporting and expanding the review
of manual journal entries.
However, as a result of our assessment of our financial controls over financial reporting as
of March 31, 2006, we have concluded that we have not remediated the material weakness in internal
controls over the review of the financial statements of the foreign operations and the period-end
financial closing and reporting process for the Companys consolidated operations. We are taking
further steps in fiscal 2007, including the increasing of staff in corporate finance, adding
finance staffing at several foreign subsidiaries and expanded subsidiary financial reporting with a
goal of having this material weakness remediated by the third quarter of fiscal 2007. We will
continue reviewing our internal controls over the financial close and reporting process, and will
implement additional controls as needed.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued a report
on managements assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. That report appears
below.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In connection with our implementation of the provisions of Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley of
2002, we have made and will continue to make various improvements to our system of internal
controls. We continue to review, revise and improve the effectiveness of our internal controls. To
improve the effectiveness of the Companys internal controls and address the material weaknesses
referred to in the previous section under the caption Managements Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting, we hired an internal audit manager in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, a new
controller in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, a finance manager at our subsidiary in France in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 and finance managers to oversee the finance functions of our
Poland and South America operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. In addition, we have
implemented an expanded policy related to revenue recognition and we are in the process of
recruiting an additional accountant to the Corporate staff to assist in the consolidation and
review process. With the staff additions, we will further revise our financial review procedures.
Other than as described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial
reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is
likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including
Stratexs, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing,
implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate
misconduct, including fraud, completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial
reporting, including Stratexs, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurances. In addition,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our
internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but cannot assure you that such
improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial
reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Stratex Networks, Inc.
We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Stratex Networks, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
Company) did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31,
2006, because of the effect of the material weakness identified in managements assessment based on
criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Companys management is responsible for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinions.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the
supervision of, the companys principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, and effected by the companys board of directors, management, and
other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to
error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any
evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods
are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that
results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The material weakness described in the
following paragraph has been identified and included in managements assessment:
The Companys controls over the review of the financial statements of the foreign operations and
the period-end financial closing and reporting process for the Companys consolidated operations
are inadequate and constitute a material weakness in the design of internal control over financial
reporting. Specifically, the Company lacks sufficient resources with the appropriate level of
technical accounting expertise within the accounting function and therefore was unable to
accurately perform certain of the designed controls over the March 31, 2006 financial closing and
reporting process, evidenced by a significant number of adjustments which were necessary to present
the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2006 in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Based on the misstatements identified and the significance of the financial
closing and reporting process to the preparation of reliable financial statements, there is a more
than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the interim and annual financial statements
would not have been prevented or detected.
This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests
applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as
of and for the year ended March 31, 2006 of the Company and this report does not affect our report
on such financial statements and financial statement schedule.
In our opinion, managements assessment that the Company did not maintain effective internal
control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects,
based on the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework
F-39
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our
opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the
objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal Control
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of
and for the year ended March 31, 2006 of the Company and our report dated June 14, 2006 expressed
an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule.

Note 1. Description of Business
The Company designs, manufactures and markets advanced wireless solutions for mobile applications
and broadband access to enable the development of complex communications networks worldwide. The
Companys microwave radio products deliver data and voice across a full spectrum of network
frequencies and capacities. The Companys business is global in nature, supported by a worldwide
sales and support organization. Stratex Networks, Inc., formerly known as DMC Stratex Networks,
Inc. and Digital Microwave Corporation, was founded in January 1984.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Stratex
Networks, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year
presentation.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company generally considers all highly liquid debt instruments with
a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase, to be cash equivalents.
Auction rate preferred securities are classified as short-term investments. Cash and cash
equivalents consisted of cash, money market funds, and short-term securities as of March 31, 2006
and March 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2006, we had $0.4 million of cash received in advance from one
of our customers which was restricted.
Short-Term Investments. The Company invests its excess cash in high-quality and easily marketable
instruments to ensure cash is readily available for use in current operations. Accordingly, all
marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale in accordance with the provisions of
the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115). At March 31, 2006, the Companys available-for-sale
securities had contractual maturities ranging from 1 month to 6 months, with a weighted average
maturity of 28 days.
All investments are reported at fair market value with the related unrealized holding gains and
losses reported as a component of stockholders equity. The realized gains on the sale of
securities during fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 were insignificant. Realized gains (losses) are
included in other expenses, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

In fiscal 2005, the Company recorded inventory valuation charges of $2.6 million for excess
inventories not expected to be sold. There were no inventory valuation charges recorded in fiscal
2006.
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the
assets (ranging from three to five years for equipment and furniture, and forty years for
buildings) or the lease term. Depreciation and amortization are reported in the applicable captions
in the statement of operations based on the functional area that utilizes the related equipment and
facilities. Any depreciation related to production facilities is therefore recorded as a component
of cost of sales.
Other Assets. Included in other assets as of March 31, 2006 are long-term deposits of $0.4 million
for premises leased by the Company and $0.2 million for long-term accounts receivable. The
long-term accounts receivable is due to the extended terms of credit granted by the Company to one
of its customers in order to position itself favorably in certain markets. Included in other assets
as of March 31, 2005 are long-term deposits of $0.4 million for premises leased by the Company and
$0.9 million for long-term accounts receivable.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, (SFAS 130)
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components.
SFAS 130 requires companies to report comprehensive income (loss), which includes unrealized
holding gains and losses and other items that have previously been excluded from net income (loss)
and reflected instead in stockholders equity. The Companys comprehensive loss consists of net
loss plus the effect of unrealized holding gains or losses on investments classified as
available-for-sale and foreign currency translation adjustments.
The accumulated balances for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are as

Foreign Currency Translation. The functional currency of the Companys subsidiaries located in
the United Kingdom and New Zealand is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, all of the monetary assets and
liabilities of these subsidiaries are remeasured into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate as
of the applicable balance sheet date, and all non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at
historical rates. Income and expenses are remeasured at the average exchange rate prevailing during
the period. Gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of these subsidiaries financial
statements are included in the consolidated statements of operations. The Companys other
international subsidiaries use their respective local currency as their functional currency. Assets
and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the local current exchange rates in effect
at the balance sheet date, and income and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange
rates during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other
comprehensive loss.
Determination of the functional currency is dependent upon the economic environment in which an
entity operates as well as the customers and suppliers the entity conducts business with. Changes
in the facts and circumstances may occur and could lead to a change in the functional currency of
that entity.
Gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions and the costs of foreign currency
contracts are included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations. Net foreign exchange losses of $1.8 million, $0.6 million and $0.8 million were
recorded in fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments. In accordance with SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), all derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet
at fair value.
We manufacture and sell products internationally subjecting us to currency risk. Derivatives are
employed to eliminate, reduce, or transfer selected foreign currency risks that can be identified
and quantified. The primary business objective of this hedging program is to minimize the gains and
losses resulting from exchange rate changes. The Companys policy is to hedge forecasted and actual
foreign currency risk with forward contracts that expire within twelve months. Foreign currency
contracts to hedge exposures are not available in certain currencies, such as the Nigerian Naira.
Specifically, the Company hedges foreign currency risks relating to firmly committed backlog, open
purchase orders and non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities. Derivatives hedging
non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet at fair
value and changes in fair value are recognized currently in earnings.
Additionally, the Company hedges forecasted non-U.S. dollar sales and non-U.S. dollar purchases. In
accordance with SFAS 133, hedges of anticipated transactions are designated and documented at
inception as cash flow hedges and are evaluated for effectiveness, excluding time value, at least
quarterly. The Company records effective changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedges in
accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) until the revenue is recognized or the related
purchases are recognized in cost of sales, at which time the changes are reclassified to revenue
and cost of sales, respectively. All amounts accumulated in OCI at the end of the year will be
reclassified to earnings within the next 12 months.

A loss of $0.2 million in each of the fiscal years ending 2005 and 2004, and a loss of $0.1
million in fiscal 2006 was recognized in other income and expense related to the exclusion of time
value from effectiveness testing. The gain/loss resulting from forecasted transactions that did not
occur in fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 was insignificant.
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104
(SAB 104) Revenue Recognition. Accordingly, revenue is recognized when all four of the following
criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence that the arrangement exists; (ii) delivery of the
products and/or services has occurred; (iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (iv)
collectibility is reasonably assured.
Revenues from product sales are generally recognized when title and risk of loss passes to the
customer, except when product sales are combined with significant post-shipment installation
services. Under this exception, revenue is deferred until such services have been performed.
Installation service revenue is recognized when the related services are performed.
When sales are made under payment terms beyond the normal credit terms, revenue is recognized only
when cash is collected from the customer unless the sale is covered by letters of credit or other
bank guarantees. Revenue from service obligations under maintenance contracts is deferred and
recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual period, which is typically one year.
In fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company entered into a four year agreement with Alcatel to
license certain Eclipse software and products to Alcatel. Alcatel will pay the Company a license
fee based on the dollar value of Alcatels quarterly purchases from the Companys contract
manufacturers. There is a minimum quarterly license fee that will be recognized as revenue in the
fiscal quarter it is invoiced. License fees beyond the quarterly minimum will be recognized as
revenue in the quarter when they are invoiced, due and payable.
Included in the agreement are certain additional support services that may be provided by the
Company to Alcatel. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21 Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables the Company determined that revenue related to these
services should be recognized separately from the license fee and accordingly will be recognized
when the services are performed.
Research and Development. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for its employee stock option plans in accordance
with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees. Accordingly, no compensation is recognized for employee stock options granted
with exercise prices greater than or equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock at date
of grant. If the exercise price is less than the market value at the date of grant, the difference
is recognized as deferred compensation expense, which is amortized over the vesting period of the
options.
F-49
In accordance with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, if the
Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair market value of the options
granted at grant date as prescribed, income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the
pro forma amounts indicated in the table below.

For purposes of pro forma disclosure under SFAS No. 123, the estimated fair value of the options is
assumed to be amortized to expense over the options vesting period, using the multiple option
method. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 and fiscal
2004 was $2.04, $1.53 and $3.05 respectively.
Loss Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Net loss per share is
computed using only the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period, as the inclusion of potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.
As of March 31, 2006, there were 1,531,176 weighted-average options outstanding to purchase shares
of common stock that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because
they were anti-dilutive as a result of the net loss incurred in fiscal 2006. As of March 31, 2005,
there were 870,000 weighted-average options outstanding to purchase shares of common stock that
were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive as a result of the net
loss incurred in fiscal 2005. As of March 31, 2004, there were 2,399,000 weighted-average options
outstanding to purchase shares of common stock that were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive as a result of the net loss incurred in fiscal
2004.
F-50
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach. Deferred
income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized
for financial reporting purposes, and such amounts recognized for income tax reporting purposes,
and operating loss and other tax credit carry forwards measured by applying currently enacted tax
laws. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to an
amount that is more likely than not to be realized in the future.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid
Financial Instruments (SFAS 155) an amendment to SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities, and SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS 155, provides the framework for fair value remeasurement
of any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would
require bifurcation as well as establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized
financial assets to identify interests. SFAS 155 further amends SFAS 140 to eliminate the
prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument
that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. The SFAS
155 guidance also clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to
the requirement of SFAS 133 and concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not
embedded derivatives. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued
after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. SFAS 155
is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS No.
154). SFAS No.154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements of the accounting
for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also provides guidance on the
accounting for and reporting of error corrections. The provisions of this statement are applicable
for accounting changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2005. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys
results of operations or financial condition.
In March 2005, FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement
Obligations (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that an entity must record a liability for a conditional
asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated.
Interpretation No. 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably
estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective no later than the
end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard did not have a
material impact on the Companys results of operations or financial condition.
In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin
(SAB) No. 107, which provides guidance on the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (see discussion below). In particular, SAB No.
107 provides key guidance related to valuation methods (including assumptions such as expected
volatility and expected term), the accounting for income tax effects of share-based payment
arrangements upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the modification of employee share options prior to
the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the classification of compensation expense, capitalization of
compensation cost related to share-based payment arrangements, first-time adoption of SFAS No.
123(R) in an interim period, and disclosures in Managements Discussion and Analysis subsequent to
the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). SAB No. 107 became effective on March 29, 2005. The Company will
apply the principles of SAB No. 107 in conjunction with its adoption of SFAS 123(R).
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)). This
statement replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123(R) requires all stock-based
compensation to be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such cost be
measured
F-51
according to the fair value of stock options. SFAS No. 123(R) was to be effective for
quarterly periods beginning after June 15, 2005, which is the Companys first quarter of fiscal
2006. In April 2005, the SEC delayed the required compliance date for certain public companies to
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will be required to comply
with SFAS No. 123(R) in fiscal 2007. While the Company currently provides the pro forma disclosures
required by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -Transition and Disclosure, on
a quarterly basis (see Note 2 Stock-Based Compensation), it is currently evaluating the impact
this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs an amendment of ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4 (SFAS No. 151). SFAS No. 151 requires all companies to recognize a current-period
charge for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials.
This statement also requires that the allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of
conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 will be
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption
of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Acquired Intangible Assets
The Company recorded expense on amortization of intangible assets of $1.6 million and $0.8 million
in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, respectively. In fiscal 2004, the Company acquired the net assets
of Plessey Broadband Wireless, a division of Tellumat (Pty) Ltd. (Tellumat) located in Cape Town,
South Africa. As part of the purchase agreement the Company acquired $2.4 million of intangible
assets. This $2.4 million of intangible assets has been assigned to intellectual property and was
estimated to have a useful life of 18 months. In the third quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company
accelerated amortization of the intangible assets due to the shut down of the Cape Town operations
and redesign of the product acquired from Plessey Broadband Wireless. The Company amortized the
entire balance of intangible assets in fiscal 2005.
Note 4. Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist
principally of temporary cash investments and trade receivables. The Company has cash investment
policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution and restrict
placement of investments to financial institutions evaluated as highly creditworthy. Investments,
under the Companys policy, must have a rating, at the time of purchase, of A1 or P1 for short-term
paper and a rating of A or better for long-term notes or bonds.
Accounts receivable concentrated with certain customers primarily in the telecommunications
industry and in certain geographic locations may subject the Company to concentration of credit
risk. The following table summarizes the number of our significant customers as a percentage of our
accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, along with the percentage of
accounts receivable balance they individually represent. No other customer accounted for more than
10% of the accounts receivable balance at the dates indicated.

Note 7. Long term debt
On May 27, 2004 the Company borrowed $25 million on a long-term basis against its $35 million
credit facility with a commercial bank. This $25 million loan is payable in equal monthly
installments of principal plus interest over a period of four years. This loan bears interest at a
fixed interest rate of 6.38% per annum. As of March 31, 2006 the Company has repaid $11.5 million
of the loan.
In February 2006, the Company increased the amount of its credit facility with the bank from $35
million to $50 million and extended the facility for an additional one year term to April 30, 2008.
The Company also borrowed an additional $20 million on a long-term basis under the facility with
the bank on March 1, 2006. This loan is payable in equal monthly installments of principal plus
interest over a period of four years. The loan is at a fixed interest rate of 7.25%. As of March
31, 2006, no principal had been repaid under the new term loan.
As part of the credit facility agreement, there is a tangible net worth covenant and a liquidity
ratio covenant. As of March 31, 2006 the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants
of the loan.
At March 31, 2006, future long-term debt payment obligations were as follows:

At the end of March 2006, the Company had $10.7 million of credit available against our $50
million revolving credit facility with a commercial bank as mentioned above. Per the amended
agreement, the total amount of revolving credit available was expanded to $50 million less the
outstanding balance of the term debt portion and any usage under the revolving credit portion. As
of March 31, 2006, the balance of the long-term debt portion of our credit facility was $33.5
million and there were $5.8 million in outstanding standby letters of credit as of that date which
are defined as usage under the revolving credit portion of the facility.
Note 8. Restructuring charges.
The Company did not record any restructuring charges in fiscal 2006.
In fiscal 2005, the Company recorded $7.4 million of restructuring charges. In order to reduce
expenses and increase operational efficiency, the Company implemented a restructuring plan in the
third quarter of fiscal 2005 which included the decision to shut down operations in Cape Town,
South Africa, outsource the manufacturing at the New Zealand and Cape Town, South Africa locations
and spin off the sales and service offices in Argentina, Colombia and Brazil to independent
distributors. As part of the restructuring plan, the Company reduced the workforce by 155 employees
and recorded restructuring charges for employee severance and benefits of $3.8 million in fiscal
2005. The Company also recorded $2.3 million for building lease obligations, $0.8 million for fixed
asset write-offs and $0.5 million for legal and other costs.
In fiscal 2004, the Company recorded $5.5 million of restructuring charges. The Company reduced the
workforce by 34 employees and recorded restructuring charges for employee severance and benefits of
$0.9 million. The remaining $4.6 million of restructuring charges was for building lease
obligations, which were vacated in fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003.
F-54
During fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, the Company announced several restructuring programs. These
restructuring programs included the consolidation of excess facilities. Due to these actions, the
Company recorded restructuring charges of $19.0 million in fiscal 2003 and $8.6 million in fiscal
2002 for vacated building lease obligations.

cash. The Company expects $3.4 million of the remaining accrual balance ($0.2 million of severance
and benefits, $0.3 million of legal and other costs and $2.9 million of vacated building lease
obligations) to be paid out in fiscal 2007 and vacated building lease obligations of $14.5 million
to be paid out during fiscal 2008 through fiscal 2012.
Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company leases certain property and equipment, as well as its headquarters and manufacturing
facilities, under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various periods through 2012. At

Rent expense under operating leases was $2.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2006, $4.0
million for the year ended March 31, 2005, and $4.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2004.
F-55
Legal Contingencies. The Company is a party to various legal proceedings that arise in the normal
course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these proceedings
will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, liquidity, or
results of operations.
Contingencies in Manufacturing and Suppliers. Purchases for materials are highly dependent upon
demand forecasts from the Companys customers. Due to the uncertainty in demand from its customers,
and in the telecommunications market in general, the Company may have to change, reschedule, or
cancel purchases or purchase orders from its suppliers. These changes may lead to vendor
cancellation charges on these purchase commitments. As of end of March 2006, the Company had
purchase commitments of $42 million.
Warranty. At the time revenue is recognized, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated
warranty expenses associated with its sales, recorded as a component of cost of sales. The
Companys standard warranty is generally for a period of 27 months from the date of sale if the
customer uses the Companys or approved installers to install the products, otherwise it is 15
months from the date of sale. The warranty accrual represents the best estimate of the amounts
necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date.
The changes in the warranty reserve balances are as follows:

Note 10. Income Taxes

The valuation allowance provides a reserve against deferred tax assets that may expire or go
unutilized. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company believes it
is more likely than not that it will not fully realize these benefits and, accordingly, has
continued to provide a valuation allowance for them. The valuation allowance increased by
approximately $3.9 million during the year ended March 31, 2006.
At March 31, 2006, the Company had U.S. Federal and State net operating loss carry forwards
available to offset future taxable income, if any, of approximately $396.0 million and $78.9
million, respectively. The net operating losses expire in various years through 2026. The Company
also had Federal and State capital loss carry forwards available to offset future capital gains, if
any, of approximately $19.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively. The capital loss carry forwards
expire in various years through 2011. Tax credits include approximately $9.2 million of Federal
minimum tax and State research credits that carry forward indefinitely. The remaining tax credits
of $5.1 million are Federal and State credits that expire in various years through 2026. The
Internal Revenue Code contains provisions that may limit the net operating loss
and credit carry forwards to be used in any given year upon the occurrence of certain events,
including a significant change in ownership interest.
Undistributed earnings of the Companys foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely
reinvested and accordingly, no provision for federal and state income taxes has been provided
thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company
would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and
withholding taxes payable to various foreign countries.

Note 11. Common Stock
Stock Option Plans. The Company grants options to employees under several stock option plans. The
Companys 1984 Stock Option Plan (the 1984 Plan) provides for the grant of both incentive and
nonqualified stock options to its key employees and certain independent contractors. Upon the
adoption of its 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1994 Plan), the Company terminated future grants
under the 1984 Plan. The 1994 Stock Incentive Plan terminated in July 2004.
In April 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Non-Officer Employee Stock Option Plan (the 1996
Plan). The 1996 Plan authorizes 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be reserved for issuance to
non-officer key employees as an incentive to continue to serve with the Company. The 1996 Plan will
terminate on the date on which all shares available have been issued.
In November 1997, the Company adopted the 1998 Non-Officer Employee Stock Option Plan (the 1998
Plan), which became effective on January 2, 1998. The 1998 Plan authorizes 500,000 shares of
Common Stock to be reserved for issuance to non-officer key employees as an incentive to continue
to serve with the Company. The 1998 Plan will terminate on the date on which all shares available
have been issued.
The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1999 Incentive Plan), approved by the Companys stockholders
in August 1999, provides for the issuance of stock options covering up to 2,500,000 shares of its
Common Stock. In August 2001, the stockholders approved the reservation for issuance of 4,000,000
additional shares of Common Stock under the 1999 Incentive Plan. The 1999 Incentive Plan enables
the Company to grant options as needed to retain and attract talented employees. Options generally
vest over four years and expire after 10 years. The 1999 Plan will terminate on the date on which
all shares available have been issued.
In August 2002, the shareholders approved the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, which provides for the
issuance of stock options and grants of the Companys common stock covering up to 10,000,000 shares
of its common stock. The purposes of the plan are to give the Companys employees and others who
perform substantial services for the Company an incentive, through ownership of its common stock.
The plan permits the grant of awards to the Companys directors, officers, consultants and other
employees. The awards may be granted subject to vesting schedules and restrictions on transfer. The
2002 Stock Incentive Plan also contains two separate equity incentive programs, (i) a non-employee
director option program under which option grants will be made at specified intervals to
non-employee directors of the Companys board of directors and (ii) a non-employee director stock
program under which non-employee directors of the Companys board may elect to apply all or a
portion of their annual retainer and meeting fees to the purchase of shares of the Companys common
stock. The 2002 Stock Incentive Plan will terminate in August 2009, unless previously terminated by
the Companys board of directors.
At March 31, 2006, the Company had reserved 5,762,578 shares for future issuance under all stock
option plans for which there were options available for grant.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (SFAS 123), the Company has applied Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, (APB 25), and related interpretations in accounting for its
stock option plans, and has disclosed the summary of the pro forma effects on reported net loss and
loss per share information for fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003, based on the fair market value of the
options granted at the grant date as prescribed by SFAS 123. See Note 2 for the pro forma
disclosure required under SFAS 123.

employees under its 2002 Stock Incentive Plan. Per the plan a minimum of 50% of shares will vest by
March 31, 2008. In addition, the vesting schedule is subject to certain acceleration and
adjustments if any or all of the performance goals defined in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement
(the agreement) are achieved during the period beginning April 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2007
(the Performance Period). If more than 50% of the shares vest based upon achievement of the

Stock Warrants. During fiscal 2005, the Company raised $22.9 million cash (net of expenses of $1.4
million) by issuing 10,327,120 shares of common stock at a price of $2.36 per share. In connection
with the closing of this sale of shares on September 24, 2004, the Company issued 2,581,780
warrants to purchase up to 2,581,780 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of
$2.95 per share as an incentive to invest in the Company. The warrants expire five years from the
date of issue. The Company allocated $4.1 million of the sales price to the warrants based on the
relative fair value of the warrants. The value of the warrants was determined using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions: contractual term
of five years from date of grant, risk free interest rate of 3.36%, volatility of 96.74%, and
expected dividend yield of 0%.

Note 13. Benefit plans
The Company has certain defined contribution plans for which the expense amounted to $0.4 million
in each of fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005, and fiscal 2004. The Companys contributions to the savings
plan are based upon a certain percentage of the employees elected contributions.
Note 14. Operating Segment and Geographic Information
SFAS No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131)
establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprises operating segments and
related disclosures about products, geographic information, and major customers. Operating segment
information for fiscal 2006, 2005, and 2004 is presented in accordance with SFAS 131.
The Company is organized into two operating segments: Products and Services. The Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision-Maker as defined by SFAS 131.
Resources are allocated to each of these groups using information on their revenues and operating
profits before interest and taxes.
The Products operating segment includes the Eclipse, XP4, Altium®,
DXR® and Velox digital microwave systems for digital transmission markets.
The Company began commercial shipments of a new wireless platform consisting of an Intelligent Node
Unit and a radio element, which combined are called Eclipse (Eclipse), in January 2004. The
Company designs and develops the above products in Wellington, New Zealand and San Jose,
California. Prior to June 30, 2002, the Company manufactured the XP4 and Altium family of digital
microwave radio products in San Jose, California. In June 2002, the Company entered into an
agreement with Microelectronics Technology Inc. (MTI), a Taiwanese company, for outsourcing of the
Companys XP4 and Altium products manufacturing operations. In the third quarter of fiscal 2005,
the Company outsourced its DXR manufacturing operations in New Zealand to GPC in Australia and
Velox manufacturing operations in Cape Town, South Africa to Benchmark Electronics in Thailand.

network design, path surveys, integration, and other revenues. The Company maintains regional
service centers in Lanarkshire, Scotland and Clark Field, Pampanga, Philippines.

significant inter-segment revenues to be reported. The Company does not allocate interest and taxes
to operating segments. The accounting policies for each reporting segment are the same.

San Jose, California
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Stratex Networks, Inc. and subsidiaries as of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Stratex Networks, Inc. and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year
presentation in segment disclosures.
While the accompanying financial information furnished is unaudited, the financial statements
included in this report reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the
interim periods covered and of the financial condition of the Company at the date of the interim
balance sheet. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for
the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with
the Companys financial statements beginning on page F-41 of this prospectus.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of
three months or less at the time of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Auction rate preferred
securities are classified as short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash,
money market funds, and short-term securities as of September 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006. As of
September 30, 2006, $2.6 million of cash was restricted as guarantee for deferred local tax
payments related to the Companys recent imports in United Kingdom.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
The Company invests its excess cash in high-quality marketable instruments to ensure that cash is
readily available for use in its current operations. Accordingly, all of the marketable securities
are classified as available-for-sale in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115. The Company views its available-for-sale portfolio as
available for use in its current operations. Accordingly, the Company has classified all
investments in marketable securities as short-term, even though the stated maturity date may be one
year or more beyond the current balance sheet date. All investments are reported at fair market
value with the related unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated
other comprehensive loss.
Unrealized holding gains on the portfolio as of September 30, 2006 were insignificant. At September
30, 2006, the available-for-sale securities had contractual maturities ranging from 1 month to 12
months, with a weighted average maturity of 48 days.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, where cost includes
material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventories consist of (in thousands):

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization are reported in the applicable captions in the statement of
operations based on the functional area that utilizes the related equipment and facilities. Any
depreciation related to production facilities is therefore recorded as a component of cost of
sales.
OTHER LONG -TERM ASSETS
Included in other assets as of September 30, 2006 are long-term deposits of $0.4 million for
premises leased by the Company and $0.4 million for long-term accounts receivable. The long-term
accounts receivable is due to the extended credit terms granted by the Company to some of its
customers.
As of March 31, 2006, other assets included deposits of $0.4 million for premises leased by the
Company and $0.2 million for long-term accounts receivable.

CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The functional currency of the Companys subsidiaries located in the United Kingdom and New Zealand
is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, all of the monetary assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries
are remeasured into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate as of the applicable balance sheet
date, and all non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical rates. Sales and
expenses are remeasured at the average
exchange rate prevailing during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of
the
F- 69
STRATEX NETWORKS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
subsidiaries financial statements are included in the consolidated statements of operations in
other income (expense). The Companys other international subsidiaries use their local currency as
their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the
current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and income and expense accounts are
translated at the average exchange rates during the period. The resulting translation adjustments
are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying financial statements.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In accordance with SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
(SFAS 133), all derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value.
We manufacture and sell products internationally subjecting us to currency risk. Derivatives are
employed to eliminate, reduce, or transfer selected foreign currency risks that can be identified
and quantified. The Companys policy is to hedge forecasted and actual foreign currency risk with
forward contracts that expire within twelve months. Specifically, the Company hedges foreign
currency risks relating to firmly committed backlog, open purchase orders and non-functional
currency monetary assets and liabilities. In accordance with SFAS No. 133 Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), all derivatives are recorded on the
balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify, or are
not effective as hedges, must be recognized currently in earnings. Derivatives hedging
non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet at fair
value and changes in fair value are recognized currently in earnings.
The Company hedges forecasted non-U.S. dollar sales and purchases. In accordance with SFAS 133, we
designate and document the forward contracts as cash flow hedges which are evaluated for
effectiveness, excluding time value, at least quarterly. The Company records effective changes in
the fair value of these cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) until
the revenue is recognized or the related purchases are recognized in cost of sales, at which time
the changes are reclassified to revenue and cost of sales, respectively. All amounts accumulated in
OCI at the end of the quarter will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months. The
Company records any ineffectiveness, including the excluded time value of the hedge, in other
income and expense.
The following table summarizes the activity in OCI with regard to the changes in fair value of
derivative instruments for the first half of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 (in thousands):

An insignificant amount of loss was recognized in other income and expense in the first half
of fiscal 2007 and the first half of fiscal 2006 related to the exclusion of time value from
effectiveness testing. There was no gain/loss arising from ineffectiveness resulting from
forecasted transactions that did not occur.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist
principally of temporary cash investments and trade receivables. The Company has cash investment
policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution and restrict
placement of
investments to financial institutions evaluated as highly creditworthy. Investments, under the
Companys

policy, must have a rating, at the time of purchase, of A1 or P1 for short-term paper and
a rating of A or better for long-term notes or bonds.
Accounts receivable concentrated with certain customers primarily in the telecommunications
industry and in certain geographic locations may subject the Company to concentration of credit
risk.
The following table summarizes the number of the Companys significant customers as a percentage of
our accounts receivable balance at September 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006 along with the percentage

The Company actively markets and sells products in Russia, Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East
and the Americas. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial
conditions and generally requires no collateral, although sales to Asia, Eastern Europe and the
Middle East are primarily backed by letters of credit. The Company can discount the accounts
receivable backed by certain letters of credit. The discount from the face amount of accounts
receivable is accounted for as interest expense and has been included in other income (expense) on
the income statement.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104) Revenue
Recognition. Accordingly, revenue is recognized when all four of the following criteria are met:
(i) persuasive evidence that the arrangement exists; (ii) delivery of the products and/or services
has occurred; (iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectibility is
reasonably assured.
In accordance with SAB 104, revenues from product sales are generally recognized when title and
risk of loss passes to the customer and the above criteria are met, except when product sales are
combined with significant post-shipment installation services. Under this exception, revenue is
deferred until such services have been performed. Installation service revenue is recognized when
the related services are performed. When sales are made under payment terms beyond the normal
credit terms, revenue is recognized only when cash is collected from the customer unless the sale
is covered by letters of credit or other bank guarantees. Revenue from service obligations under
maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual
period, which is typically one year.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company entered into a four year agreement with Alcatel
to license certain Eclipse software and products to Alcatel. Alcatel will pay us a license fee
based on the dollar value of Alcatels quarterly purchases from our contract manufacturers. There
is a minimum quarterly license fee during the early quarters of the agreement that will be
recognized as revenue in the fiscal quarter in which it
is invoiced. License fees beyond the quarterly minimum will be recognized as revenue in the quarter
in which they are invoiced, due and payable.
F- 71
STRATEX NETWORKS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Included in the agreement are certain additional support services that the Company may provide to
Alcatel. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables, the Company determined that revenue related to these services should be
recognized separately from the license fee and accordingly will be recognized when the services are
performed.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per share is
computed using only the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period, as the inclusion of potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.

income per share to the weighted-average common shares used to calculate diluted net income per

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Prior to April 1, 2006, our stock-based employee and director compensation plans were accounted for
under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
(APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations, and we provided
the pro forma disclosures as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, SFAS No. 123
(SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, as amended by SFAS 148, Accounting for
Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure.
Effective April 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised
2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS No. 123(R)), requiring us to recognize expense related to the
fair value of our stock-based compensation awards. We elected to use the modified prospective
transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123(R) and therefore have not restated our financial
results for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the
six months ended September 30, 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation
awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of March 31, 2006, based on the grant date fair
value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, as adjusted for
estimated forfeitures. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards
granted subsequent to March 31, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Under SFAS No. 123(R), the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(ESPP) is considered a compensatory plan and we are required to recognize compensation expense
for discounts related to purchases of common stock made under the ESPP.
F- 72

We recognize compensation costs for all stock-based awards over the period during which the

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) (SFAS 158).
SFAS 158 requires employers to (i) recognize in its statement of financial position the funded
status of a benefit plan measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the
benefit obligation, (ii) recognize net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or
credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit
cost pursuant to SFAS No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions or SFAS No. 106, Employers
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, (iii) measure defined benefit plan
assets and obligations as of the date of the employers statement of financial position and (iv)
disclose additional information in the notes to the financial statements about certain effects on
net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains
or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition asset or obligation. For companies with
publicly traded securities, the requirements of SFAS 158 are effective for fiscal years ending
after December 15, 2006 and are to be applied prospectively upon adoption. For companies without
publicly traded equity securities, the requirements to recognize the funded status of a defined
benefit postretirement plan and provide related disclosures are effective for fiscal years ending
after June 15, 2007, while the requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the
date of the employers statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2008, with earlier application encouraged. The Company is currently in the process of
assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS 158 will have on its financial position, results of
operations and liquidity.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which clarifies that
fair value is the amount that would be exchanged to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants. Further, the standard establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands certain disclosures
about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108), Considering the
Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006 and
addresses how financial statement errors should be considered from a materiality perspective and
corrected. The
F- 73
STRATEX NETWORKS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
literature provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or
reversal of prior year
misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. Historically there
have been two common approaches used to quantify such errors: (i) the rollover approach, which
quantifies the error as the amount by which the current year income statement is misstated, and
(ii) the iron curtain approach, which quantifies the error as the cumulative amount by which the
current year balance sheet is misstated. The SEC Staff believes that companies should quantify
errors using both approaches and evaluate whether either of these approaches results in quantifying
a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is
material. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting SAB 108 but does not expect
that it will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring,
presenting and disclosing in the financial statements, tax positions taken or expected to be taken
on a tax return, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction.
FIN 48 provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in an
entitys financial statements, only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained on
audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in
accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is
currently assessing the impact of FIN 48 on its consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No.155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments
(SFAS 155), an amendment to SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, and SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS 155 provides the framework for fair value remeasurement of any
hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require
bifurcation as well as establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial
assets to identify interests. SFAS 155 further amends SFAS 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a
qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a
beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. The SFAS 155 guidance also
clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirement
of SFAS 133 and concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded
derivatives. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the
beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does
not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS No.
154). SFAS No.154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements of the accounting
for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also provides guidance on the
accounting for and reporting of error corrections. The provisions of this statement are applicable
for accounting changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2005. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys results of
operations or financial condition.
NOTE 2. PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION
On September 5, 2006, the Company and Harris Corporation (Harris) entered into a Formation,
Contribution and Merger Agreement ( the Contribution Agreement) which provides for the formation
of a Delaware corporation named Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. (Newco). Under the Contribution
Agreement, upon receipt of the approval of the Companys stockholders a newly-organized Delaware
corporation which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newco will merge with and into the Company with
the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newco (the Merger). Under the terms of the
Contribution Agreement, Harris Corporation will contribute its Microwave Communications Division

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(MCD) and $25 million of cash and Newco will assume those liabilities primarily resulting
from or primarily arising out of MCD, other than certain specified liabilities (the
Contribution). The Contribution and the Merger are collectively referred to as the Combination.
In consideration of its contribution, Harris will receive approximately 56% of the outstanding
stock of Newco. and stockholders of the Company will receive approximately 44% of the outstanding
stock of Newco.
At the effective time of and as a result of the Combination, (i) Newco will issue to the
stockholders of the Company one-fourth share of Newco Class A common stock for each share of
Company common stock held immediately prior to the Combination, (ii) Newco will assume the
Companys obligations under all outstanding options, equity awards and warrants exercisable for
Company common stock, substituting one-fourth share of Newco Class A common stock for each share of
Company common stock subject thereto and with an exercise price per share of Newco Class A common
stock equal to four times the exercise price stated therein for each share of Company common stock,
and (iii) Newco will issue to Harris or one of Harris domestic subsidiaries the number of shares
of Newco Class B common stock which will equal 56/44ths of the sum of (x) the number of shares of
Newco Class A common stock issued in the Merger and (y) the number of additional shares of Newco
Class A Common Stock which would be deemed outstanding immediately after the effective time of the
Merger by applying the treasury stock method to the Newco options and warrants outstanding by
virtue of Newcos assumption of corresponding options and warrants for Company common stock, on the
assumption that the fair market value of each share of Newco Class A common stock was $20.80. This
value is an element of the negotiated transaction and does not represent or purport to indicate the
actual fair market value of Newco Class A common stock or the Companys common stock.
Pending the receipt of stockholder approval, as well as satisfaction of other customary closing
conditions, the Combination is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.
NOTE 3. LONG-TERM DEBT
On May 27, 2004 the Company borrowed $25 million on a long-term basis against its $35 million
credit facility with a commercial bank. This $25 million loan is payable in equal monthly
installments of principal plus interest over a period of four years. This loan bears interest at a
fixed interest rate of 6.38% per annum. As of September 30, 2006 the Company had repaid $14.6
million of the loan.
In February 2006, the Company increased the amount of its credit facility with the bank from $35
million to $50 million and extended the facility for an additional one year term to April 30, 2008.
On March 1, 2006, the Company borrowed an additional $20 million on a long-term basis under the
facility. This loan is payable in equal monthly installments of principal plus interest over a
period of four years. The loan is at a fixed interest rate of 7.25%. As of September 30, 2006, the
Company had repaid $2.5 million under the new term loan.
The credit facility agreement contains a tangible net worth covenant and a liquidity ratio
covenant. As of September 30, 2006 the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.
At September 30, 2006, the Companys future long-term debt payment obligations were as follows:

At the end of September 2006, the Company had $15.9 million of credit available against the
$50 million revolving credit facility with a commercial bank as mentioned above. Per the amended
agreement, the total amount of revolving credit available was expanded to $50 million less the
outstanding balance of the term debt portion and any usage under the revolving credit portion. As
of September 30, 2006, the balance of the long-term debt portion of our credit facility was $27.9
million and there were $6.1 million in outstanding standby letters of credit as of that date which
are defined as usage under the revolving credit portion of the facility.
NOTE 4. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has stock options plans, a restricted stock plan and an employee stock purchase plan
under which it grants stock to employees as incentives.
Stock Option Plans. The Company has granted options to employees under several stock option plans.
The Companys 1984 Stock Option Plan (the 1984 Plan) provided for the grant of both incentive and
nonqualified stock options to its key employees and certain independent contractors. Upon the
adoption of its 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1994 Plan), the Company stopped granting options
under the 1984 Plan. The 1994 Stock Incentive Plan terminated in July 2004. As of September 30,
2006, there are 2.3 million options outstanding under this plan.
In April 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Non-Officer Employee Stock Option Plan (the 1996
Plan) which had 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be reserved for issuance to non-officer key
employees as an incentive to continue to serve with the Company. The 1996 Plan terminated in April
2006. No future grants will be made under this plan. As of September 30, 2006, there are 0.3
million of options and awards outstanding under this plan.
In November 1997, the Company adopted the 1998 Non-Officer Employee Stock Option Plan (the 1998
Plan), which became effective on January 2, 1998. The 1998 Plan reserved 500,000 shares of Common
Stock for issuance to non-officer key employees as an incentive to continue to serve with the
Company. The 1998 Plan will terminate on the date on which all shares available have been issued.
As of September 30, 2006, there are 0.2 million of options and awards outstanding under this plan.
The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1999 Incentive Plan), which was approved by the Companys
stockholders in August 1999, provides for the issuance of stock options covering up to 2,500,000
shares of its Common Stock. In August 2001, the stockholders approved the reservation for issuance
of 4,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock under this plan for granting options as needed to
retain and attract talented employees. Options granted under the 1999 Incentive Plan generally vest
over four years and expire after seven years. The 1999 Plan terminated in June 2006 and no future
grants will be made under this plan. As of September 30, 2006, there are 5.0 million of options and
awards outstanding under this plan.
In August 2002, the shareholders approved the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, which reserved up to
10,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance of stock options and awards of the Companys common
stock to the Companys directors, officers, consultants and other employees. Awards may be granted
under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan subject to vesting schedules and restrictions on transfer. The
2002 Stock Incentive Plan also contains two separate equity incentive programs related to Director
grants, (i) a non-employee director option program under which option grants will be made at
specified intervals to non-employee directors of the Companys board of directors and (ii) a
non-employee director stock program under which non-employee directors of the Companys board may
elect to apply all or a portion of their annual retainer and meeting fees to the purchase of shares
of the Companys common stock. The 2002 Stock Incentive Plan will terminate in August 2009, unless
terminated earlier by the Companys board of directors. As of September 30, 2006, there are 6.0
million of options and awards outstanding under this plan.

In August 2006, the shareholders approved the 2006 Stock Equity Plan which reserves up to 8,000,000
shares of its common stock for issuance of stock options and awards of common stock to the
Companys directors, officers, consultants and other employees. The 2006 Plan is administered by
the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee has the discretion to determine
the employee, consultant or director to receive an award, the form of award, the terms and
provisions of the respective award agreements and any acceleration or extension of an award. The
Plan will terminate in August 2013, unless terminated earlier by the Companys board of directors
or in connection with the Combination. As of September 30, 2006, there are no options and awards
outstanding under this plan.
At September 30, 2006, 10,377,616 shares remained available for grant under all of the Companys
stock option plans.
The Company did not modify any of its stock option plans during the three months ended September
30, 2006.

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of
the underlying awards and the quoted price of our common stock for the options that were
in-the-money at September 30, 2006. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the
three and six months ended September 30, 2006 was $0.1 million and was $0.8 million, respectively,
determined as of the date of option exercise.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In addition to our stock option plans, we also have an Employee Stock
Purchase Plan which generally allows employees to purchase Company stock at a 15% discount to
market prices with a three month look-back period. Based on the 15% discount and the fair value of
the option feature of this plan, this plan is considered compensatory under SFAS 123(R).
Compensation expense is calculated using the fair value of the employees purchase rights under the
Black-Scholes model. The Company recognized compensation expense of $152,955 in the first half of
fiscal 2007. The Company did not recognize expense during the first half of fiscal 2006 as it was
not required prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).
Restricted Stock Plan. The Company grants restricted stock under its 2002 stock incentive plan. On
June 15, 2005, the Company granted 906,575 of shares of Common Stock to its employees under its
2002 Stock Incentive Plan. Per the plan the shares will vest at the rate of a minimum of one third
annually for the next three fiscal years. In addition, the vesting schedule is subject to
acceleration when performance goals defined in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the
agreement) are achieved. In fiscal 2006, all the
shares (net of forfeitures) granted under this plan vested due to achievement of certain
performance goals. On March 31, 2006, the Company granted an additional 637,544 shares of common
stock to its employees

(Unaudited)
under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan. A minimum of 50% of shares will vest by
March 31, 2008. In addition, the vesting schedule is subject to certain acceleration if any or all
of the performance goals defined in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the agreement) are
achieved during the period beginning April 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2007. If more than 50% of
the shares vest based upon achievement of the performance goals during this period, any shares that
do not vest at that time shall automatically be forfeited and no additional shares will vest on
March 31, 2008. Under this same plan, the Company granted an additional 44,826 shares on April 3,
2006 and 85,096 on May 18, 2006.

The Company settles employee stock option exercises, employee stock purchases under the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan and restricted stock awards vested with newly issued shares of common
stock.
Determining Fair Value of Stock-based Compensation Awards
Valuation methodThe Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the
Black-Scholes-Merton multiple option valuation model.
Amortization methodFor options granted prior to March 31, 2006, the fair value is amortized on a
graded vesting method, and for stock awards granted after March 31, 2006 on a straight-line basis,
over the requisite service period of the awards.
Expected Term The expected term represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to
be outstanding and was determined based on the simplified method per Staff Accounting Bulletin
(SAB) No. 107, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock- based awards and the
vesting schedules. In developing its estimate, the Company concluded that the expected term
determined using the historical exercise data was not indicative of future exercise behavior
primarily due to past structural changes of its business and differences in vest terms of post
equity-based share option grants.
Expected VolatilityThe Companys computation of expected volatility for the three and six months
ended September 30, 2006 is based on historical volatility.
Risk-Free Interest RateThe risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option
valuation method is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon
issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option.
Expected DividendThe dividend yield reflects that the Company has not paid any dividends and have
no intention to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Estimated Pre-vesting ForfeituresWhen estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary
termination behavior as well as future workforce reduction programs. Estimated forfeiture rates are
trued-up to actual forfeiture results as the stock-based awards vest.
In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company reassessed its valuation technique
and related assumptions. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the
Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), SEC
SAB No. 107 and its prior period pro forma disclosures of net earnings, including stock-based
compensation (determined under a fair value method as prescribed by SFAS No. 123). The fair value
of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation
model and the graded-vesting method with the following weighted-average assumptions:

During the six months ended September 30, 2006 the Company capitalized as part of inventory
approximately $0.5 million of stock-based compensation.
At September 30, 2006, the total compensation cost related to unvested stock-based awards granted
to employees under the stock option plans but not yet recognized was approximately $8.6 million,
after estimated forfeitures. This cost will be recognized over an estimated weighted-average period
of approximately 2.4 years and will be adjusted if necessary in subsequent periods if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates. At September 30, 2006, the total compensation cost related
to unvested stock-based awards granted to employees under the restricted stock plan but not yet
recognized was approximately $1.1 million, after estimated forfeitures. This cost will most likely
be recognized in the second half of fiscal 2007 and will be adjusted if necessary in subsequent
periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
At September 30, 2006, the total compensation cost related to options to purchase common shares
under the ESPP but not yet recognized was insignificant.

NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of its
business. In the opinion of management, these proceedings should not have a material adverse effect
on the business, financial position, and results of operations of the Company.
Warranty
At the time revenue is recognized, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty
expenses associated with its sales, recorded as a component of cost of sales. The Companys
standard warranty is

STRATEX NETWORKS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
generally for a period of 27 months from the date of sale if the customer uses
the Companys or their approved installers to install the products, otherwise it is 15 months from
the date of sale. Under certain circumstances warranty is extended beyond the standard warranty
terms of 27 months. The Companys warranty accrual represents the best estimate of the amounts
necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date.
Warranty accrual is made based on forecasted returns and average cost of repair. Forecasted returns
are based on trend of historical returns. While the Company believes that its warranty accrual is
adequate and that the judgment applied is appropriate, the amounts estimated to be due and payable
could differ materially from what will actually transpire in the future.

NOTE 6. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
The Company did not record any restructuring during six months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
During fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2005, the Company announced several restructuring programs. These
restructuring programs included the consolidation of excess facilities and reduction of workforce.
Due to these actions, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $19.0 million in fiscal 2003
and $8.6 million in fiscal 2002 for vacated building lease obligations. In fiscal 2004 and fiscal
2005, we recorded $4.6 and $2.3 million of restructuring charges, respectively, for the building
lease obligations, related to facilities which were vacated in fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003, due to
changes in estimated sub-lease income.

NOTE 7. OPERATING SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
SFAS No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131)
establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprises operating segments and
related disclosures about products, geographic information, and major customers. Operating segment
information for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006 and first half of fiscal 2007 and 2006
is presented in accordance with SFAS 131.
The Company is organized into two operating segments: Products and Services. The Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision-Maker as defined by SFAS 131.
Resources are allocated to each of these groups using information on their revenues and operating
profits before interest and taxes.
The Products operating segment includes the Eclipse, XP4, Altium®, DXR® and Velox digital
microwave systems for digital transmission markets. The Company began commercial shipments of a new
wireless platform consisting of an Intelligent Node Unit and a radio element, which combined are
called Eclipse (Eclipse), in January 2004. The Company designs and develops the above products
in Wellington, New Zealand and San Jose, California. Prior to June 30, 2002, the Company
manufactured the XP4 and Altium family of digital microwave radio products in San Jose, California.
In June 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Microelectronics Technology Inc. (MTI), a
Taiwanese company, for outsourcing of the Companys XP4 and Altium products manufacturing
operations. In fiscal 2005, the Company outsourced its DXR manufacturing operations in New Zealand
to GPC in Australia and Velox manufacturing operations in Cape Town, South Africa to Benchmark
Electronics in Thailand. The Eclipse family of products is also manufactured by these contract
manufacturers.
Operating segments generally do not sell products to each other, and accordingly, there are no
significant inter-segment revenues to be reported. The Company does not allocate interest,, other
expense and income taxes to operating segments. The accounting policies for each reporting segment
are the same.
