⁽¹⁾  L-3 Holdings’ CODES had no impact on diluted EPS for the quarterly or first half periods ended June 29, 2012 or July 1, 2011 as the average market price of L-3 Holdings common stock during these periods was less than the price at which the CODES would have been convertible into L-3 Holdings common stock. As of June 29, 2012, the conversion price was $95.46.

The computation of diluted EPS excluded 3.5 million and 3.6 million of stock options for the quarterly and first half periods ended June 29, 2012, respectively, and 3.0 million and 2.9 million of stock options and restricted stock units for the quarterly and first half periods ended July 1, 2011, respectively, as they were anti-dilutive.
