NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
April 3, 2009
Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Harris Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Harris,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Harris Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries) have been prepared by Harris, without an audit, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting 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 and three quarters ended April 3, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any subsequent period. The balance sheet at June 27, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. We provide complete financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes information and footnotes required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2008 (“Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K”), as well as with our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2009 (“Form 8-K Recast”), which updates our historical business segment information contained in our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K to reflect a change in organizational structure and segment reporting effective for fiscal 2009.
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include 100 percent of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of our majority-owned subsidiary, Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. (“Harris Stratex Networks”), and the approximately 44 percent ownership interest of the minority stockholders of Harris Stratex Networks as of April 3, 2009 is recorded as minority interest in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. References to Harris Stratex Networks include its consolidated subsidiaries.
     On March 31, 2009, we announced a spin-off to our shareholders of all the shares we own of Harris Stratex Networks. The distribution of our ownership of approximately 56 percent of the outstanding shares of Harris Stratex Networks will take place in the form of a taxable pro rata dividend of our shares of Harris Stratex Networks payable on May 27, 2009 (the “Distribution Date”) to our shareholders of record at the close of business on May 13, 2009. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“Statement 144”), we will report the current and all prior period financial results of Harris Stratex Networks as discontinued operations beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the quarter in which the Distribution Date will occur.
     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 and assumptions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     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.” In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, we adopted the portion of Statement 158 that requires the recognition and disclosure of the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 29, 2007. Statement 158 also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of the employer’s year-end balance sheet, with limited exceptions. This portion of Statement 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, which for us is fiscal 2009 (our current fiscal year, which ends July 3, 2009). Certain of our plans currently have measurement dates that do not coincide with our fiscal year end and thus we will be required to change their measurement dates in fiscal 2009. We do not currently anticipate that the change in measurement dates will materially impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents

     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. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”), which defers the effective date of Statement 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, which for us is our fiscal 2010. We adopted Statement 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and there was no impact to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In accordance with FSP FAS 157-2, we elected to defer until fiscal 2010 the adoption of Statement 157 for nonfinancial assets (including items such as goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets) and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). We do not currently anticipate that the adoption of Statement 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities will materially impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note M — Fair Value Measurements in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for disclosures required by Statement 157.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“Statement 159”). Statement 159 allows companies to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value (the “fair value option”). The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, all unrealized gains or losses in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. We adopted Statement 159 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 but have not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments as of April 3, 2009.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“Statement 141R”). Statement 141R requires that, upon a business combination, the acquired assets, assumed liabilities, contractual contingencies and contingent liabilities be recognized and measured at their fair value at the acquisition date. Statement 141R also requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred. In addition, Statement 141R requires that acquired in-process research and development be measured at fair value and capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, and it is therefore not subject to amortization until the project is completed or abandoned. Statement 141R also requires that changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties that are recognized after the measurement period be recognized in income tax expense. Statement 141R is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which for us is our fiscal 2010. Thus, while adoption is not expected to materially impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows directly when it becomes effective on July 4, 2009 (the beginning of our fiscal 2010), it is expected to have a significant effect on the accounting for any acquisitions we make on, or subsequent to, that date.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“Statement 160”). Statement 160 requires that noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) be clearly identified and presented as a component of equity, separate from the parent’s equity. Statement 160 also requires that the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; that changes in ownership interest be accounted for as equity transactions; and that when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in that subsidiary and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of that subsidiary be measured at fair value. Statement 160 is to be applied prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements (which are to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented) and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which for us is our fiscal 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact Statement 160 may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
     In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“Statement 161”). Statement 161 applies to all derivative instruments, including bifurcated derivative instruments (and to nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments pursuant to paragraphs 37 and 42 of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“Statement 133”)) and related hedged items accounted for under Statement 133. Statement 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of Statement 133 to provide greater transparency as to (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, Statement 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about the volume of derivative activity and fair value amounts of, and gains and losses on, derivative instruments including location of such amounts in the consolidated financial statements, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. We adopted Statement 161 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, and there was no impact to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note N — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for disclosures required by Statement 161.

     In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determining the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that must be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of recognized intangible assets accounted for pursuant to FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“Statement 142”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends Statement 142 to require an entity to consider its own historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements, regardless of whether those arrangements have explicit renewal or extension provisions. In the absence of such experience, FSP FAS 142-3 requires an entity to consider assumptions that market participants would use (consistent with the highest and best use of the asset by market participants), adjusted for entity-specific factors. FSP FAS 142-3 also requires incremental disclosures for renewable intangible assets. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which for us is our fiscal 2010. FSP FAS 142-3 is to be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date, and the incremental disclosure requirements for renewable intangible assets are to be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date.
     In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and, accordingly, should be included in the two-class method of calculating earnings per share (“EPS”) under FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 also includes guidance on allocating earnings pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which for us is our fiscal 2010. All prior-period EPS data presented (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) shall be adjusted retrospectively. We do not currently anticipate that the implementation of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will materially impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     On April 1, 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141R-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (“FSP FAS 141R-1”). Under FSP FAS 141R-1, assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination are to be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date if the acquisition-date fair value can be determined during the measurement period. In cases where acquisition-date fair values cannot be determined during the measurement period, an asset or liability shall be recognized at the acquisition date at amounts based on guidance in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” and FASB Interpretation No. 14, “Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss” if certain other criteria are met. FSP FAS 141R-1 also expands the disclosure requirements of Statement 141R to provide additional information about business combination-related contingencies in footnotes describing business combinations. FSP FAS 141R-1 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which for us is our fiscal 2010. Thus, while adoption is not expected to materially impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows directly when it becomes effective on July 4, 2009 (the beginning of our fiscal 2010), it may have a significant effect on the accounting for any acquisitions we make on, or subsequent to, that date.
     Reclassifications
     Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current-year classifications. These reclassifications include:
    Reclassifying $5.8 million and $63.1 million of investments associated with our non-qualified deferred compensation plans from the line item “Compensation and benefits” to the line items “Other current assets” and “Other non-current assets,” respectively, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited); and
 
    Reclassifying $58.6 million of obligations to pay benefits under our non-qualified deferred compensation plans from the line item “Compensation and benefits” to the line item “Other long-term liabilities” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited).

Note B — Stock Options and Share-Based Compensation
     As of April 3, 2009, we had three shareholder-approved employee stock incentive plans under which options or other share-based compensation was outstanding (“Harris Plans”), and we had the following types of share-based awards outstanding under the Harris Plans: stock options, performance share awards, performance share unit awards, restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards. Participants in the Harris Plans include former Harris employees who are now employed with Harris Stratex Networks and who had options or awards under the Harris Plans that were outstanding at the January 26, 2007 date of the combination of our former Microwave Communications Division with Stratex Networks, Inc. (“Stratex”) to form Harris Stratex Networks. Additionally, as of April 3, 2009, Harris Stratex Networks had a stock incentive plan that provided for stock options, restricted stock awards and performance share awards based on Harris Stratex Networks Class A common stock. Harris Stratex Networks also assumed all of the former Stratex stock options outstanding as of January 26, 2007, as part of the combination with Stratex (“Harris Stratex Networks Plans”). We believe that such awards more closely align the interests of employees with those of shareholders. Certain share-based awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined under our stock incentive plans). The compensation cost related to our share-based awards that was charged against income was $9.1 million for the quarter ended April 3, 2009, which includes $0.4 million related to Harris Stratex Networks Plans, and $27.8 million for the three quarters ended April 3, 2009, which includes $1.8 million related to Harris Stratex Networks Plans. The compensation cost related to our share-based awards that was charged against income was $10.5 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2008, which includes $1.7 million related to Harris Stratex Networks Plans, and $29.8 million for the three quarters ended March 28, 2008, which includes $5.3 million related to Harris Stratex Networks Plans.
     Grants to Harris employees under Harris Plans during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 consisted of 28,150 stock options, 5,600 performance share awards and 5,500 restricted stock awards. Grants to Harris employees under Harris Plans during the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 consisted of 1,220,800 stock options, 289,450 performance share awards and 107,950 restricted stock awards. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model which used the following assumptions: expected volatility of 33.35 percent; expected dividend yield of 1.4 percent; and expected life in years of 4.45.
     Grants to Harris Stratex Networks employees under Harris Stratex Networks Plans during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 consisted of 80,586 stock options, 54,320 performance share awards and 98,919 restricted stock awards. Grants to Harris Stratex Networks employees under Harris Stratex Networks Plans during the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 consisted of 941,492 stock options, 501,974 performance share awards and 98,919 restricted stock awards. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model which used the following assumptions: expected volatility of 60.50 percent; expected dividend yield of zero percent; and expected life in years of 4.37.

Note G — Credit Arrangements
     On September 10, 2008, we entered into a five-year, senior unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “2008 Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders. The 2008 Credit Agreement provides for the extension of credit to us in the form of revolving loans, including swingline loans, and letters of credit at any time and from time to time during the term of the 2008 Credit Agreement, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $750 million for both revolving loans and letters of credit, with a sub-limit of $50 million for swingline loans and $125 million for letters of credit. This $750 million credit facility replaces our prior $500 million credit facility established pursuant to the five-year, senior unsecured revolving credit agreement we entered into on March 31, 2005 with a syndicate of lenders. The 2008 Credit Agreement includes a provision pursuant to which, from time to time, we may request that the lenders in their discretion increase the maximum amount of commitments under the 2008 Credit Agreement by an amount not to exceed $500 million. Only consenting lenders (including new lenders reasonably acceptable to the administrative agent) will participate in any such increase. In no event will the maximum amount of credit extensions available under the 2008 Credit Agreement exceed $1.25 billion. The 2008 Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes (excluding hostile acquisitions) and to support any commercial paper that we may issue. Borrowings under the 2008 Credit Agreement may be denominated in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Sterling and any other currency acceptable to the administrative agent and the lenders, with a non-U.S. currency sub-limit of $150 million. We may designate certain wholly-owned subsidiaries as borrowers under the 2008 Credit Agreement, and the obligations of any such subsidiary borrower must be guaranteed by Harris Corporation. We also may designate certain subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries, which means certain of the covenants and representations in the 2008 Credit Agreement do not apply to such subsidiaries. Harris Stratex Networks and its subsidiaries are unrestricted subsidiaries under the 2008 Credit Agreement.
     At our election, borrowings under the 2008 Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. Dollars will bear interest either at LIBOR plus an applicable margin or at the base rate plus an applicable margin. The interest rate margin over LIBOR, initially set at 0.50 percent, may increase (to a maximum amount of 1.725 percent) or decrease (to a minimum of 0.385 percent) based on changes in the ratings of our senior, unsecured long-term debt securities (“Senior Debt Ratings”) and on the degree of utilization under the 2008 Credit Agreement (“Utilization”). The base rate is a fluctuating rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent or SunTrust Bank’s publicly announced prime lending rate for U.S. Dollars. The interest rate margin over the base rate is 0.00 percent, but if our Senior Debt Ratings fall to “BB+/Ba1” or below, then the interest rate margin over the base rate will increase to either 0.225 percent or 0.725 percent based on Utilization. Borrowings under the 2008 Credit Agreement denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars will bear interest at LIBOR plus the applicable interest rate margin over LIBOR described above. Letter of credit fees are also determined based on our Senior Debt Ratings and Utilization.
     The 2008 Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including covenants limiting: certain liens on our assets; certain mergers, consolidations or sales of assets; certain sale and leaseback transactions; certain vendor financing investments; and certain investments in unrestricted subsidiaries. The 2008 Credit Agreement also requires that we not permit our ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to total capital, each as defined, to be greater than 0.60 to 1.00 and not permit our ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense, each as defined, to be less than 3.00 to 1.00 (measured on the last day of each fiscal quarter for the rolling four-quarter period then ending). The 2008 Credit Agreement contains certain events of default, including: failure to make payments; failure to perform or observe terms, covenants and agreements; material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty; payment default under other indebtedness with a principal amount in excess of $75 million or acceleration of such indebtedness; occurrence of one or more final judgments or orders for the payment of money in excess of $75 million that remain unsatisfied; incurrence of certain ERISA liability in excess of $75 million; any bankruptcy or insolvency; or a change of control, including if a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 25 percent or more of our voting stock. If an event of default occurs the lenders may, among other things, terminate their commitments and declare all outstanding borrowings to be immediately due and payable together with accrued interest and fees. All amounts borrowed or outstanding under the 2008 Credit Agreement are due and mature on September 10, 2013, unless the commitments are terminated earlier either at our request or if certain events of default occur. At April 3, 2009, we had no borrowings outstanding under the 2008 Credit Agreement.
     Prior to the combination with Stratex, Stratex was a party to a credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, and following the combination, Stratex (now named “Harris Stratex Networks Operating Corporation” and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris Stratex Networks), remained a party to the credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility”). As discussed below, the Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility (the “Terminated Facility”) was terminated and replaced in the first quarter of our fiscal 2009. Harris and its subsidiaries (other than Harris Stratex Networks Operating Corporation) are not and were not parties to, obligated under or guarantors of the Terminated Facility. Indebtedness under the Terminated Facility is reflected as of June 27, 2008 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as a result of the consolidation of Harris Stratex Networks. The Terminated Facility allowed for revolving credit borrowings of up to $50 million. As of June 27, 2008, the balance of the term loan portion of the Terminated Facility was $8.7 million (of which $5.0 million was recorded in the current portion of long-term debt at June 27, 2008) and there was $8.6 million in outstanding standby letters of credit.

Table of Contents

     On June 30, 2008, in the first quarter of our fiscal 2009, the Terminated Facility was terminated and replaced with a new revolving credit facility as of that date with Silicon Valley Bank and Bank of America, N.A. (the “New Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility”). Harris and its subsidiaries (other than Harris Stratex Networks and certain of its subsidiaries) are not parties to, obligated under or guarantors of the New Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility. The balance of the term loan portion of the Terminated Facility of $8.7 million was repaid in full with the proceeds of a $10 million borrowing under the New Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility. The standby letters of credit outstanding under the Terminated Facility as of the termination date remained as an obligation to Silicon Valley Bank, and $5.1 million of such standby letters of credit were still outstanding as of April 3, 2009. The New Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility provides for an initial committed amount of $70 million with an uncommitted option for an additional $50 million available with the same or additional lenders. The New Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility has an initial term of three years and provides for (1) demand borrowings (with no stated maturity date) with an interest rate of the greater of Bank of America’s prime rate and the federal funds rate plus 0.5 percent, (2) fixed term Eurodollar loans up to six months or more as agreed with the lenders with an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread of between 1.25 percent to 2.00 percent based on the current leverage ratio of Harris Stratex Networks and its consolidated subsidiaries, and (3) the issuance of standby or commercial letters of credit. The New Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility contains a minimum liquidity ratio covenant and a maximum leverage ratio covenant and is unsecured. At April 3, 2009, Harris Stratex Networks had $10.0 million of borrowings and $8.7 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the New Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility.

     In fiscal 2003, we issued $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.5% Convertible Debentures due August 2022. Holders of the debentures had the right to convert each of their debentures into shares of our common stock prior to the stated maturity. During fiscal 2008, each holder received 44.2404 shares of our common stock for each $1,000 of debentures surrendered for conversion. This represented a conversion price of $22.625 per share of our common stock. All outstanding debentures were either converted or redeemed during the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Table of Contents

     For purposes of calculating net income per diluted share for the quarter and three quarters ended April 3, 2009, the numerator has not been adjusted to consider the effect of potentially dilutive securities of Harris Stratex Networks because the effect would be antidilutive. For purposes of calculating net income per diluted share for the quarter and three quarters ended March 28, 2008, the numerator has been adjusted to account for the impact of our ownership in Harris Stratex Networks on a fully diluted basis.
     Potential dilutive common shares primarily consist of employee stock options. Employee stock options to purchase approximately 3,927,362 and 1,046,750 shares of Harris stock on April 3, 2009 and March 28, 2008, respectively, were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of net income per diluted share because the effect would be antidilutive because the options’ exercise prices exceeded the average market price.

Note K — Income Taxes
     Our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes and minority interest) was 40.3 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with 25.9 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, our effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to expenses incurred by our Harris Stratex Networks segment in jurisdictions in which we have existing tax loss carryforwards and thus are unable to record tax deductions for those otherwise deductible expenses. This was partially offset by a $6.5 million favorable impact from the settlement of the U.S. Federal income tax audit of fiscal 2007. In the third quarter of fiscal 2008, our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate because of an $11 million favorable impact from the settlement of U.S. Federal income tax audits for fiscal years 2004 through 2006. Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 we began recording state income taxes in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) as engineering, selling and administrative expenses to the extent such state taxes are reimbursed, which totaled $8.2 million for the quarter and three quarters ended March 28, 2008. Under U.S. Government regulations, these state income taxes are allowable costs in establishing prices for the products and services we sell to the U.S. Government. Prior to the third quarter of fiscal 2008, these state income taxes were recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) as income taxes. The reimbursement of these state income taxes is recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) as revenue for all periods presented. As a result of this change we reduced tax expense by $5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
     Our effective tax rate was 84.5 percent in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with 31.4 percent in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. In the first three quarters of fiscal 2009, our effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to charges recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 in our Harris Stratex Networks segment of $301.0 million for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, which is all nondeductible for tax purposes, and $22.1 million for the increase in the valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets. Separately, legislative action during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 restored the U.S. Federal income tax credit for research and development expenses, and as a result we recorded a $5.0 million tax benefit in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 relating to prior periods. We also recorded a $3.7 million state tax benefit in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 related to the filing of our fiscal 2007 tax returns. Finally, the items noted above in the discussion of the third quarter of fiscal 2009 also impacted the total for the first three quarters of fiscal 2009. In the first three quarters of fiscal 2008, our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to the items noted above regarding the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and the impact of foreign tax credits in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

Note L — Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
     In accordance with Statement 142, we test our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, as well as when we change reporting segments and when events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment. Based on the current global economic environment and the decline of the market capitalization of Harris Stratex Networks, we performed an interim review for impairment as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009 of Harris Stratex Networks’ goodwill and its other indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting solely of the Stratex trade name.
     To test for potential impairment of Harris Stratex Networks’ goodwill, we determined the fair value of Harris Stratex Networks based on projected discounted cash flows and market-based multiples applied to sales and earnings. The results indicated an impairment to goodwill, because the current carrying value of the segment exceeded its fair value. We then allocated this fair value to Harris Stratex Networks’ underlying assets and liabilities to determine the implied fair value of goodwill, resulting in a $279.0 million charge to write down all of Harris Stratex Networks’ goodwill. We determined the fair value of the Stratex trade name by performing a projected discounted cash flow analysis based on the relief-from-royalty approach, resulting in a $22.0 million charge to write down a majority of the carrying value of the Stratex trade name. Substantially all of the goodwill and the Stratex trade name were recorded in connection with the combination of Stratex and our Microwave Communications Division in January 2007. We will not be required to make any current or future cash expenditures as a result of these impairments, and these impairments do not impact our covenant compliance under our credit arrangements or our ongoing financial performance.
     For reasons similar to those stated above, we also conducted a review of Harris Stratex Networks’ long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, in accordance with Statement 144. This review did not indicate that an impairment existed as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
     As discussed in Note O — Business Segments in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), effective upon the commencement of fiscal 2009, we made certain changes to our organizational structure which resulted in changes to our business segments, and our goodwill balances at June 27, 2008 by business segment for fiscal 2009 have been updated in our Form 8-K Recast and are reflected in the table below. For those changes that resulted in reporting unit changes, we applied the relative fair value method to determine the reallocation of goodwill to reporting units. During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, as a result of the changes to our reporting structure, we completed an assessment of any potential goodwill impairment under this new reporting structure and determined that no impairment existed.
     Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the first three quarters of fiscal 2009, by business segment, are as follows:
                                         
            Government

  $ 6.0     $ 414.5     $ 787.7     $ 1.8     $ 1,210.0  
 
                             
Note M — Fair Value Measurements
     We adopted Statement 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and there was no impact to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In accordance with FSP FAS 157-2, we elected to defer until fiscal 2010 the adoption of Statement 157 for nonfinancial assets (including items such as goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets) and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Statement 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market, in the absence of a principal market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Statement 157 requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value and establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
    Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Table of Contents

    Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.
 
    Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, and reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
     The following table represents the fair value hierarchy of our financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) as of April 3, 2009:

(2)   Includes derivatives designated as hedging instruments under Statement 133, and derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under Statement 133, which we include in the “Other current assets” line item on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). The fair value of the derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under Statement 133 was not material.
 
(3)   Represents obligations to pay benefits under certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans, which we include in the “Compensation and benefits” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited).
 
(4)   Includes derivatives designated as hedging instruments under Statement 133, and derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under Statement 133, which we include in the “Other accrued items” line item on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). The fair value of the derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under Statement 133 was not material.
Note N — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
     In the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to such risks and formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. Statement 133 requires us to recognize all derivatives on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) at fair value. We do not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes.
     At April 3, 2009, we had open foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of $120.4 million, of which $38.6 million were classified as cash flow hedges, $21.9 million were classified as fair value hedges and $59.9 million were not designated hedges under the provisions of Statement 133. This compares with total foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of $127.8 million at June 27, 2008, of which $49.9 million were classified as cash flow hedges, $16.7 million were classified as fair value hedges and $61.2 million were not designated hedges under the provisions of Statement 133. At April 3, 2009, contract expiration dates ranged from less than one month to 13 months with a weighted average contract life of 1 month.

     Balance Sheet Hedges
     To manage the exposure in our balance sheet to risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we implement both fair value hedges and hedges not designated as hedging instruments under Statement 133. We use foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge certain balance sheet items, including foreign currency denominated accounts receivable and inventory. Changes in the value of the derivatives and the related hedged items are reflected in income, in the “Cost of product sales and services” line item on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). As of April 3, 2009, we had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts denominated in the Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar and Australian Dollar to hedge certain balance sheet items. The net gains on foreign exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges for the quarter and three quarters ended April 3, 2009 were not material. The net gains on foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments under Statement 133 for the quarter and three quarters ended April 3, 2009 were $2.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively. In addition, no amounts were recognized in our net income in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 related to hedged firm commitments that no longer qualify as fair value hedges.
     Cash Flow Hedges
     To manage the exposure in our income statement to currency risk and market fluctuation risk associated with anticipated or forecasted cash flows that are probable of occurring in the future, we implement cash flow hedges. More specifically, we use foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge off-balance sheet future foreign currency commitments, including purchase commitments from suppliers, future committed sales to customers, and intercompany transactions. These derivatives are primarily being used to hedge currency exposures from cash flows anticipated in our Harris Stratex Networks segment related to customer orders denominated in non-functional currencies that are currently in backlog and in our RF Communications segment related to programs in the U.K., Canada, Bulgaria and the Netherlands. We also have hedged U.S. dollar payments to suppliers to maintain our anticipated profit margins in our international operations. As of April 3, 2009, we had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts denominated in the Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar and Chinese Yuan Renminbi to hedge certain forecasted transactions.
     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. 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. Gains and losses from other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings when the related hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The cash flow impact of our derivatives is included in the same category on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (Unaudited) as the cash flows of the item being hedged.
     A net loss of $2.1 million related to the effective portion of outstanding foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges was recognized in the “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” line item on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as of April 3, 2009. Net losses of $2.4 million and $6.8 million, for the quarter and three quarters ended April 3, 2009, respectively, were reclassified from the line item “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) to the line item “Cost of product sales and services” line item on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). As of April 3, 2009, we estimated that a pre-tax loss of $2.5 million would be reclassified into net income from comprehensive income within the next 12 months related to these cash flow hedges. The amount of gains or losses included in our net income related to the ineffective portion of our cash flow hedges for the quarter and three quarters ended April 3, 2009 was not material.
     Credit Risk
     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.
     See Note M — Fair Value Measurements in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for the amount of the assets and liabilities related to these foreign exchange contracts on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as of April 3, 2009, and see Note C — Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for additional information on changes in other comprehensive income (loss) for the quarter and three quarters ended April 3, 2009.

Note O — Business Segments
     Our segment reporting structure for fiscal 2009 reflects that, effective upon the commencement of fiscal 2009, our RF Communications business (part of our Defense Communications and Electronics segment for fiscal 2008) is reported as its own separate segment, and our Defense Programs business (the other part of our Defense Communications and Electronics segment for fiscal 2008) is reported as part of our Government Communications Systems segment. Our Broadcast Communications and Harris Stratex Networks segments did not change as a result of the adjustments to our segment reporting structure. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the impact of these changes for all periods presented. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows resulting from this change.
     We are structured primarily around the products and services we sell and the markets we serve. Our RF Communications segment is a global supplier of highly secure radio communications products and systems for defense and government operations and performs advanced research, primarily for the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) and for international customers in government, defense and peacekeeping organizations in more than 100 countries. Our Government Communications Systems segment designs, develops and supplies state-of-the-art communications and information networks and equipment; develops integrated intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance solutions; develops, designs and supports information systems for image and other data collection, processing, analysis, interpretation, display, storage and retrieval; offers enterprise IT and communications engineering, operations and support services; and conducts advanced research studies, primarily for the DoD, a diversified group of other U.S. Government agencies, state government agencies and other aerospace and defense companies. Our Broadcast Communications segment serves the global digital and analog media markets, providing infrastructure and networking products and solutions, media and workflow solutions, and television and radio transmission equipment and systems. Our Harris Stratex Networks segment offers reliable, flexible, scalable and cost-efficient wireless transmission network solutions, including microwave radio systems and network management software, which are backed by comprehensive services and support, primarily to mobile and fixed telephone service providers, private network operators, government agencies, transportation and utility companies, public safety agencies and broadcast system operators. Within each of our business segments, there are multiple program areas and product lines that aggregate into our four business segments described above.
     The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1: “Significant Accounting Policies” in our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K, as updated by our Form 8-K Recast. We evaluate each segment’s performance based on its “operating income (loss),” which we define as profit or loss from operations before income taxes and minority interest excluding interest income and expense, royalties and related intellectual property expenses, equity income and gains or losses from securities and other investments. Intersegment sales among our RF Communications, Government Communications Systems and Broadcast Communications segments are transferred at cost to the buying segment and the sourcing segment recognizes a normal profit that is eliminated. Intersegment sales between our Harris Stratex Networks segment and any of our RF Communications, Government Communications Systems and Broadcast Communications segments are recorded as arms length transactions. The “Corporate eliminations” line item in the tables below represents the elimination of intersegment sales and their related profits, including transactions involving our Harris Stratex Networks segment. The “Unallocated Corporate expense” line item in the tables below represents the portion of corporate expenses not allocated to the business segments.

The operating income in our Government Communications Systems segment in the quarter and three quarters ended March 28, 2008 included $46.8 million ($29.0 million after-tax, or $.21 per diluted share) and $70.4 million ($43.6 million after-tax, or $.32 per diluted share), respectively, of charges for schedule and cost overruns on commercial satellite reflector programs.
 
(2)   The operating loss in our Harris Stratex Networks segment in the quarter and three quarters ended April 3, 2009 included $32.7 million of charges ($29.3 million of which were non-cash), primarily related to inventory and fixed assets, resulting from an acceleration towards a common IP-based technology platform and a $2.4 million charge for the write-off of in-process research and development associated with Harris Stratex Networks’ acquisition of Telsima Corporation (“Telsima”). The operating loss in our Harris Stratex Networks segment in the three quarters ended April 3, 2009 also included a $301.0 million ($182.5 million after tax and minority interest, or $1.37 per diluted share) charge for impairment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, as well as charges of $4.9 million associated with cost-reduction actions. The operating income in our Harris Stratex Networks segment in the quarter and three quarters ended March 28, 2008 included $1.5 million and $21.9 million, respectively, of integration costs and the impact of a step up in fixed assets related to the combination with Stratex.
 
(3)   “Non-operating income (loss)” includes equity investment income (loss), royalties and related intellectual property expenses, gains and losses on sales of investments and securities available-for-sale, impairments of investments and securities available-for-sale, and mark-to-market adjustments of derivatives.

Note P — Subsequent Event
     On April 16, 2009, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire the Tyco Electronics Wireless Systems business (formerly known as M/A-COM), an established provider of mission-critical wireless communications systems for law enforcement, fire and rescue, and public service organizations. Tyco Electronics Wireless Systems, a business segment of Tyco Electronics Ltd., was formed in 1999 and grew through the acquisition of ComNet Ericsson in 2001 to create Tyco Electronics Wireless Systems (“Wireless Systems”). Wireless Systems is headquartered in Lowell, Massachusetts, with product development and manufacturing facilities in Lynchburg, Virginia, and has approximately 1,150 employees, including 500 engineers and scientists. Principal end-markets for the business include public safety and public service, federal government, transit and transportation, and utilities. End-to-end solutions include network systems and software solutions; mobile and portable radio equipment; broadband WiMAX products for high speed-data applications; and operations, service and maintenance. The business is a key player in the wireless communications standards process, successfully driving its products to open standards in both U.S. and international markets, including the next-generation digital APCO P25 standard. Wireless Systems will operate as the Public Satefy business unit under our RF Communications segment.
     Under the definitive agreement, we will purchase substantially all of the assets of Wireless Systems for $675 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments, and will assume liabilities primarily related to Wireless Systems, with certain exceptions. The goodwill arising on completion of the acquisition will be an allowable tax expense with a current net present value of $60 million, resulting in an effective purchase price of $615 million. The transaction excludes the State of New York wireless network contract awarded to Wireless Systems in December 2004. Wireless Systems’ revenue for its fiscal year ending September 26, 2008 was $463 million. We expect to finance the acquisition with a combination of existing cash balances, borrowings available under our 2008 Credit Agreement and long-term debt. The acquisition, which is subject to customary regulatory reviews and closing conditions, is expected to close by the end of June 2009.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Harris Corporation
     We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Harris Corporation and subsidiaries as of April 3, 2009, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the quarter and three quarters ended April 3, 2009 and March 28, 2008, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three quarters ended April 3, 2009 and March 28, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
     We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
     We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Harris Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 27, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows, and comprehensive income and shareholders’ equity for the year then ended, not presented herein, and in our report dated August 22, 2008 (except Note 8 and Note 23, as to which the date is March 17, 2009), we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 27, 2008, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
OVERVIEW
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to assist in an understanding of Harris. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (“Notes”) appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, reference should be made to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and MD&A included in our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K and to our Form 8-K Recast, which updates our historical business segment information contained in our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K to reflect a change in organizational structure and segment reporting effective for fiscal 2009. Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussions in MD&A contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our future results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below in MD&A under “Forward-Looking Statements and Factors that May Affect Future Results.”
     The following is a list of the sections of MD&A, together with our perspective on the contents of these sections of MD&A, which we hope will make reading these pages more productive:
    Results of Operations — an analysis of our consolidated results of operations and of the results in each of our four operating segments, to the extent the operating segment results are helpful to an understanding of our business as a whole, for the periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).
 
    Liquidity and Capital Resources — an analysis of cash flows, common stock repurchases, dividend policy, capital structure and resources, off-balance sheet arrangements and commercial commitments and contractual obligations.
 
    Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates — information about accounting policies that require critical judgments and estimates and about accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet implemented by us and their potential impact.
 
    Forward-Looking Statements and Factors that May Affect Future Results — cautionary information about forward-looking statements and a description of certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or our current expectations or projections.

The operating loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 included $32.7 million of charges, primarily related to inventory and fixed assets, resulting from an acceleration towards a common IP-based technology platform and a $2.4 million charge for the write-off of in-process research and development associated with Harris Stratex Networks’ acquisition of Telsima;
 
    On March 31, 2009, we announced a spin-off to our shareholders of all the shares we own of Harris Stratex Networks. The distribution of our ownership of approximately 56 percent of the outstanding shares of Harris Stratex Networks will take place in the form of a taxable pro rata dividend of our shares of Harris Stratex Networks payable on May 27, 2009 to our shareholders of record at the close of business on May 13, 2009. In accordance with Statement 144, we will report the current and all prior period financial results of Harris Stratex Networks as discontinued operations beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the quarter in which the May 27, 2009 Distribution Date will occur; and
 
    Net cash provided by operating activities was $404.5 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with $358.0 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008.

     Third Quarter 2009 Compared With Third Quarter 2008: Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $1,361.7 million, an increase of 2.4 percent compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in revenue was led by 12.0 percent and 6.7 percent revenue increases in our RF Communications and Government Communications Systems segments, respectively. Our RF Communications segment revenue benefited from continued strength in international markets, while our Government Communications Systems segment revenue benefited from new program wins. Revenue was lower by 16.6 percent and 11.3 percent in our Broadcast Communications and Harris Stratex Networks segments, respectively, reflecting lower demand primarily due to the global recession and delays in capital spending by customers.
     Net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $114.2 million, or $.86 per diluted share, compared with net income of $108.0 million, or $.78 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Our RF Communications segment operating income increased by 7.0 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2008, reflecting continued strength in international sales. Our Government Communications Systems segment operating income increased from $21.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to $73.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, primarily due to $46.8 million of charges for schedule and cost overruns on commercial satellite reflector programs in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Operating income in our Broadcast Communications segment decreased from $7.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to $1.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as a result of lower revenue, partially offset by the benefit from cost-reduction actions. Our Harris Stratex Networks segment had an operating loss of $34.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with operating income of $9.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, primarily due to $32.7 million of charges, primarily related to inventory and fixed assets, resulting from an acceleration towards a common IP-based technology platform and a $2.4 million charge for the write-off of in-process research and development associated with Harris Stratex Networks’ acquisition of Telsima. We had non-operating income of $6.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, primarily due to a $7.5 million gain recorded on the sale of non-strategic patents, compared with non-operating income of $2.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, primarily due to a $2.7 million gain on the sale of a portion of our investment in AuthenTec, Inc. (“AuthenTec”).

     First Three Quarters 2009 Compared With First Three Quarters 2008: Our revenue for the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 was $4,252.8 million, an increase of 9.7 percent compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. The reasons for the increase in revenue are essentially the same as those noted above regarding the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Additionally, revenue for the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 benefited from our Government Communications Systems segment’s Field Data Collection Automation (“FDCA”) program for the U.S. Census Bureau for the 2010 census.
     Net income for the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 was $194.3 million, or $1.46 per diluted share, compared with $322.5 million, or $2.35 per diluted share, for the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. The decrease in net income and net income per diluted share primarily resulted from the $301.0 million charge in our Harris Stratex Networks segment for impairment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, partially offset by the impacts in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as noted above. Additionally, in our Government Communications Systems segment, the impact of charges for schedule and cost overruns on commercial satellite reflector programs was significantly lower in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2008.

The increase in gross margin as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to an increase in the gross margin percentage in our Government Communications Systems segment due to lower charges for schedule and cost overruns on commercial satellite reflector programs incurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2008, partially offset by $29.8 million of charges, primarily related to inventory and fixed assets, in our Harris Stratex Networks segment, resulting from an acceleration towards a common IP-based technology platform and a decline in gross margin as a percentage of revenue in our RF Communications segment.
     First Three Quarters 2009 Compared With First Three Quarters 2008: Our gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 30.8 percent in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with 30.6 percent in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. The reasons for the slight increase in gross margin as a percentage of revenue are primarily the same as those noted above regarding the third quarter of fiscal 2009, as well as revenue growth in our higher-margin RF Communications segment.

As a percentage of revenue, these expenses were essentially flat at 17.6 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with 17.8 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The overall increase in engineering, selling and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher sales and marketing expenses in our RF Communications segment associated with our tactical radio systems products and higher operating expenses in our Harris Stratex Networks segment as a result of an increase in the bad debt provision, expenses associated with Harris Stratex Networks’ acquisition of Telsima and $2.9 million of charges related to an acceleration towards a common IP-based technology platform. Engineering, selling and administrative expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 benefited from cost-reduction actions and a reclassification of state income taxes to engineering, selling and administrative expenses in our Government Communications Systems segment in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. See the “Income Taxes” section of this MD&A for further information.

     First Three Quarters 2009 Compared With First Three Quarters 2008: Our engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased to $717.0 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 from $683.6 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses decreased to 16.9 percent in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 from 17.6 percent in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. The decrease in engineering, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to 9.7 percent revenue growth, cost-reduction actions and $18.9 million of integration and transaction-related costs we incurred during the first three quarters of fiscal 2008 associated with the Multimax Incorporated and Zandar Technologies plc acquisitions and the combination with Stratex. The overall increase in engineering, selling and administrative expenses was primarily due to the reasons noted above regarding the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

The non-operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was primarily due to a $7.5 million gain on the sale of non-strategic patents. The non-operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was primarily due to a $2.7 million gain on the sale of a portion of our investment in AuthenTec. See Note J — Non-Operating Income (Loss) and footnote 3 of Note O — Business Segments in the Notes for further information.
     First Three Quarters 2009 Compared With First Three Quarters 2008: We had a non-operating loss of $2.2 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with non-operating income of $8.7 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. The non-operating loss for the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 was primarily due to a $7.6 million write-down of our investment in AuthenTec, recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, to reflect an other-than-temporary impairment, partially offset by a $7.5 million gain on the sale of non-strategic patents in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Non-operating income for the first three quarters of fiscal 2008 included gains of $2.1 million and $2.7 million on the sale of a portion of our investment in AuthenTec, recorded in the first and third quarters of fiscal 2008, respectively, and a $5.6 million gain, recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, related to a mark-to-market adjustment of warrants we held to acquire shares of AuthenTec, which were classified as derivatives.

Our interest expense decreased to $13.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from $13.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The decrease in our interest income was due to lower interest rates earned on average balances of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The decrease in our interest expense was primarily due to lower average debt balances.

     First Three Quarters 2009 Compared With First Three Quarters 2008: Our interest income decreased to $3.7 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 from $5.5 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. Our interest expense decreased to $41.0 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 from $42.8 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. Our interest income decreased for the same reason as noted above regarding the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Our interest expense decreased due to the conversion or redemption, during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, of $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.5% Convertible Debentures, partially offset by the increased interest expense associated with the issuance, in December 2007, of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.95% Notes due December 1, 2017, which replaced lower interest rate commercial paper.

     Third Quarter 2009 Compared With Third Quarter 2008: Our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes and minority interest) was 40.3 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with 25.9 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, our effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to expenses incurred by our Harris Stratex Networks segment in jurisdictions in which we have existing tax loss carryforwards and thus are unable to record tax deductions for those otherwise deductible expenses. This was partially offset by a $6.5 million favorable impact from the settlement of the U.S. Federal income tax audit of fiscal 2007. In the third quarter of fiscal 2008, our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate because of an $11 million favorable impact from the settlement of U.S. Federal income tax audits for fiscal years 2004 through 2006. Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 we began recording state income taxes in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) as engineering, selling and administrative expenses to the extent such state taxes are reimbursed. Under U.S. Government regulations, these state income taxes are allowable costs in establishing prices for the products and services we sell to the U.S. Government. Prior to the third quarter of fiscal 2008, these state income taxes were recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) as income taxes. The reimbursement of these state income taxes is recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) as revenue for all periods presented. As a result of this change we reduced tax expense by $5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
     First Three Quarters 2009 Compared With First Three Quarters 2008: Our effective tax rate was 84.5 percent in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with 31.4 percent in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. In the first three quarters of fiscal 2009, our effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to charges recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 in our Harris Stratex Networks segment of $301.0 million for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, which is all nondeductible for tax purposes, and $22.1 million for the increase in the valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets. Separately, legislative action during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 restored the U.S. Federal income tax credit for research and development expenses, and as a result we recorded a $5.0 million tax benefit in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 relating to prior periods. We also recorded a $3.7 million state tax benefit in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 related to the filing of our fiscal 2007 tax returns. Finally, the items noted above in the discussion of the third quarter of fiscal 2009 also impacted the total for the first three quarters of fiscal 2009. In the first three quarters of fiscal 2008, our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily because of the items noted above regarding the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and the impact of foreign tax credits in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations
     As discussed in Note O — Business Segments in the Notes, effective upon the commencement of fiscal 2009, we changed our segment reporting. Our RF Communications business (part of our Defense Communications and Electronics segment for fiscal 2008) is reported as its own separate segment, and our Defense Programs business (the other part of our Defense Communications and Electronics segment for fiscal 2008) is reported as part of our Government Communications Systems segment. Our Broadcast Communications and Harris Stratex Networks segments did not change as a result of the adjustments to our segment reporting structure. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the impact of these changes for all periods presented. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows resulting from this change.

     Third Quarter 2009 Compared With Third Quarter 2008: RF Communications segment revenue increased 12.0 percent and operating income increased 7.0 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Operating margins in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 were 34.5 percent of revenue compared with 36.1 percent of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
     Revenue growth in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was driven by significantly higher international sales, which represented 43 percent of total segment revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, compared with 27 percent of total segment revenue for all of fiscal 2008. Revenue in the U.S. market remained strong in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, but declined compared with the prior-year quarter. Significant deliveries in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 were made to Norway, Pakistan, the Philippines, Hungary, Belgium, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, the Czech Republic, Armenia, Canada, Ukraine and Afghanistan. In the U.S. market, significant deliveries in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 were made to the U.S. Army, Marine Corps and Air Force.
     The outlook for our RF Communications segment has been reduced as a result of a combination of factors, including the delay of two significant orders. We expected a $250 million order in fiscal 2009 from the Iraq Ministry of Defence for HF radios, which is now expected to be received in smaller increments over several years. Also expected in fiscal 2009 was a $500 million ceiling Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (“IDIQ”) contract from the U.S. Army for the purpose of procuring Falcon II® AN/PRC-117F and the new Falcon III® AN/PRC-117G multiband radios (“117Gs”). The IDIQ was awarded to us in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, with an initial $148 million order for 117Gs. Subsequently, it was determined by the Army that this IDIQ contract could not be used to procure 117G radios, and the order was cancelled. This decision may result in significant delays in 117G orders.
     In addition, pressure on DoD budgets caused by the global economic crisis and deficit spending, as well as the lack of clarity surrounding funding priorities within the new presidential administration, are slowing DoD procurements for many defense products and systems, including tactical radios for modernization programs. For us, the slower procurement environment has been compounded by reduced urgency for radio systems to support operational requirements in Iraq, which has been only partially offset by additional requirements for Afghanistan.
     In the international market, demand remains robust and is expected to continue to drive significant international revenue growth. Communications modernization and standardization programs by U.S. allies are expected to continue. We provide Falcon® tactical radios to more than 100 countries.
     We believe, in spite of the near-term decline, longer-term growth prospects for the segment remain very positive in both U.S. and international markets. Our RF Communications segment is expected to benefit from positive long-term market trends, a very strong competitive position and an industry-leading new product portfolio. For example, the Falcon III manpack radio is the first Joint Tactical Radio Systems (“JTRS”)-approved tactical radio system that provides wideband mobile ad-hoc networked communications. The radio has been fielded by all services of the DoD and several international allies. The radio supports secure, high-bandwidth communications on-the-move, delivering an evolving picture of the battlefield in real time.
     In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we continued to expand our addressable markets through our international integrated communications systems offering. We received a $46 million order in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from the government of the United Arab Emirates for an integrated communications system incorporating Falcon II radios, Falcon III high-capacity data radios (“HCDRs”), tactical broadband global area network (“BGAN”) satellite communications terminals and command and control capabilities. Significant international orders in the third quarter of fiscal of 2009 were also received from Poland and Hungary.
     New orders in the U.S. in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 reflected the progress we are making with our customers to field larger quantities of our new JTRS-approved Falcon III radios that provide multimission capability and new capabilities such as wideband networking for high-bandwidth communications on-the-move. In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the U.S. Air Force placed an $18 million order for the new Falcon III 117G wideband networking radio, which includes a Remote Operated Video Enhanced Receiver (“ROVER”) interoperable mode that provides battlefield airmen the ability to receive live video directly from unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAVs”). Also in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, over $60 million in orders for Falcon III multiband handheld and vehicular radios were received from multiple DoD customers.

     On April 16, 2009, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire the Tyco Electronics Wireless Systems business (formerly known as M/A-COM), an established provider of mission-critical wireless communications systems for law enforcement, fire and rescue, and public service organizations. Wireless Systems had revenue of $463 million for its fiscal year ending September 26, 2008, and addresses a growing $9 billion global market for public safety communications. The acquisition is expected to close by the end of June 2009. Wireless Systems will operate as the Public Safety business unit under our RF Communications segment.
     First Three Quarters 2009 Compared With First Three Quarters 2008: RF Communications segment revenue increased 21.3 percent and operating income increased 16.2 percent in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 from the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. The reasons for these revenue and operating income increases are primarily the same as those noted above regarding the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

     Third Quarter 2009 Compared With Third Quarter 2008: Government Communications Systems segment revenue increased 6.7 percent and operating income increased 245.3 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Operating margin was 11.4 percent of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with 3.5 percent of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in operating margin was primarily due to $46.8 million of charges for schedule and cost overruns on commercial satellite reflector programs in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. There were no charges for schedule and cost overruns on commercial satellite reflector programs recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Seven of the ten commercial reflectors under contract have now been shipped to customers.
     Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2008 increased in all four of the segment’s businesses: Defense Programs, National Intelligence Programs, Civil Programs and IT Services. Revenue growth in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was primarily driven by: the FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure (“FTI”) program, which has expanded to include the FTI Microwave program in Alaska; a number of classified programs; the Global Geospatial Intelligence (“GGI”) program for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency; sales of surveillance equipment from our Wireless Products Group (“WPG”); the U.S. Navy Commercial Broadband Satellite Program; and the Navy/Marine Corps Intranet (“NMCI”) IT services program.
     The ramping-up of several recent contract awards in the segment’s new Healthcare Solutions business also contributed to higher revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, including a significant multi-million-dollar, ten-year contract with Health First, Inc., a Florida-based healthcare provider. We will provide network management and IT services for Health First, Inc.’s enterprise-wide operations. The contract includes software and hardware support, 24/7 network operations center, help desk, training and network security services. Also, we have joined forces with a business unit of Siemens Healthcare to provide solutions critical for Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (“PACS”) that support business continuity during the recovery from natural and man-made disasters.
     Following the close of the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we were awarded a 10-year contract, potentially worth $600 million, for the U.S. Army Modernization of Enterprise Terminals (“MET”) program. The new satellite communications terminals will represent the worldwide backbone for high-priority military communications and missile defense systems and support Internet Protocol (“IP”) and Dedicated Circuit Connectivity within the Global Information Grid (“GIG”), providing critical reach-back capability for the warfighter.
     On April 16, 2009, we announced our acquisition of Crucial Security, Inc., a Washington, D.C.-area provider of mission-enabling engineering solutions that address both offensive and defensive IT security challenges for Federal law enforcement and other U.S. Government agencies. The acquisition expands our capabilities and customer footprint in the cyber security market.

     First Three Quarters 2009 Compared With First Three Quarters 2008: Government Communications Systems segment revenue increased 9.2 percent and operating income increased 47.8 percent in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 from the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. The reasons for the increases in revenue and operating income are primarily the same as those noted above regarding the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Additionally, operating income included $17.6 million and $23.6 million of charges for schedule and cost overruns on commercial satellite reflector programs incurred in the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively.

     Third Quarter 2009 Compared With Third Quarter 2008: Broadcast Communications segment revenue decreased 16.6 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Segment operating income was $1.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with $7.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The global recession and postponement of capital projects further weakened demand. However, the impact of lower revenue on operating performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was mitigated by ongoing cost-reduction actions.
     Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2008 declined in both U.S. and international markets and was lower primarily as a result of declining sales in Infrastructure and Networking Solutions where the impact of the global market softness was most significant. Transmission Systems sales were modestly lower compared with the prior-year quarter as a result of softness in the global radio market. Media and Workflow sales were flat compared with the prior-year quarter, with weakness in sales of U.S. and international traffic systems offset by higher sales of media server products.
     At the recent National Association of Broadcasters show in Las Vegas, we made several announcements related to important new growth initiatives for the segment. We will begin a field trial with McDonald’s in May 2009 to launch the fast food chain’s unique, branded TV channel. The field trial includes 20 restaurants around the U.S. and will feature Harris Digital Signage™ solutions to manage, monitor and play out digital broadcast-quality video content for the McDonald’s Channel. The systems will be designed and managed through a collaborative effort between our Broadcast Communications segment and the IT Services business within our Government Communications Systems segment.
     We have also signed with the National Basketball Association Orlando Magic to create an innovative advanced media workflow in the team’s new arena that will be completed in 2010. The in-arena network will combine Internet Protocol Television (“IPTV”) and digital signage and will be built around file-based workflows that merge broadcast technology with IT infrastructure. The systems will be designed and managed by our Broadcast Communications segment and the IT Services business within our Government Communications Systems segment.
     First Three Quarters 2009 Compared With First Three Quarters 2008: Broadcast Communications segment revenue decreased 3.3 percent in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 from the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. Segment operating income decreased 25.3 percent in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 from the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. The reasons for these decreases are primarily the same as those noted above for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Segment operating income also included $4.0 million of charges associated with cost-reduction actions incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

     Third Quarter 2009 Compared With Third Quarter 2008: Harris Stratex Networks segment revenue decreased 11.3 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from the third quarter of fiscal 2008, reflecting lower demand due to the global recession and delays in capital spending by customers. The segment had an operating loss of $34.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with operating income of $9.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The operating loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 included $32.7 million of charges, primarily related to inventory and fixed assets, resulting from an acceleration towards a common IP-based technology platform and a $2.4 million charge for the write-off of in-process research and development associated with Harris Stratex Networks’ acquisition of Telsima. Operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 included $1.5 million of integration costs and the impact of a step up in fixed assets associated with the combination with Stratex.
     On March 31, 2009 we announced a spin-off to our shareholders of all the shares we own of Harris Stratex Networks. The distribution of our ownership of approximately 56 percent of the outstanding shares of Harris Stratex Networks will take place in the form of a taxable pro rata dividend of our shares of Harris Stratex Networks payable on May 27, 2009 to our shareholders of record at the close of business on May 13, 2009.
     First Three Quarters 2009 Compared With First Three Quarters 2008: Harris Stratex Networks segment revenue increased 2.5 percent during the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. The segment had an operating loss of $317.7 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with operating income of $7.4 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. The increase in revenue during the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2008 was muted by the weakness in revenue during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 for the reasons noted above. The primary reasons for the decrease in operating income during the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2008 were a $301.0 million charge for impairment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, and the impacts noted above to operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

The increase was primarily due to $404.5 million of net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by $206.7 million of net cash used in financing activities and $103.5 million of net cash used in investing activities. We own approximately 56 percent of Harris Stratex Networks, which had a cash balance of $115.6 million included in our consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance of $452.0 million at April 3, 2009. The $115.6 million balance is available only for Harris Stratex Networks’ general corporate purposes.

     Our financial position remained strong at April 3, 2009. We ended the third quarter with cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $452.6 million in aggregate; we have no long-term debt maturing until fiscal 2016; we have a five-year, senior unsecured $750 million revolving credit facility that expires in September 2013; and we do not have any material defined benefit pension plan obligations.
     We currently believe that existing cash, funds generated from operations, our credit facilities and access to the public and private debt and equity markets will be sufficient to provide for our anticipated working capital requirements, capital expenditures and repurchases under our share repurchase program for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. We anticipate tax payments over the next three years to be approximately equal to our tax expense during the same period. We anticipate that our fiscal 2009 and 2010 cash outlays may include strategic acquisitions. Other than those cash outlays noted in the “Commercial Commitments and Contractual Obligations” discussion below in this MD&A, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions (including our pending acquisition of the Wireless Systems business of Tyco Electronics Ltd. announced on April 16, 2009) and repurchases under our share repurchase program, no other material cash outlays are anticipated during the remainder of fiscal 2009 and thereafter.
     There can be no assurance, however, that our business will continue to generate cash flow at current levels, that ongoing operational improvements will be achieved, or that the cost or availability of future borrowings, if any, under our commercial paper program or our credit facilities or in the debt markets will not be impacted by the ongoing credit and capital markets disruptions. If we are unable to maintain cash balances or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our obligations, we may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, reduce or terminate our share repurchase program, reduce or eliminate dividends, refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or obtain additional financing. Our ability to make principal payments or pay interest on or refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general conditions in or affecting the defense, government, broadcast communications and wireless transmission markets and to general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our control.
     Net cash provided by operating activities: Our net cash provided by operating activities was $404.5 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with $358.0 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. All of our segments had positive cash flow in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009. The increase in cash flow was led by our RF Communications segment, primarily as a result of the segment’s higher operating income.
     Net cash used in investing activities: Our net cash used in investing activities was $103.5 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with net cash used in investing activities of $97.6 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. Net cash used in investing activities in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 was primarily due to $78.4 million of property, plant and equipment additions, $18.5 million of capitalized software additions and $9.1 million of cash paid for acquired businesses. Net cash used in investing activities in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008 was primarily due to $84.2 million of property, plant and equipment additions, $24.7 million of capitalized software additions and $12.8 million of cash paid for acquired businesses. This was partially offset by net proceeds of $24.1 million from the sale of securities and short-term investments available-for-sale. Our total capital expenditures, including capitalized software, in fiscal 2009 are expected to be between $140 million and $150 million.
     Net cash used in financing activities: Our net cash used in financing activities was $206.7 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with net cash used in financing activities of $338.9 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008. Net cash used in financing activities in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 was primarily due to $132.2 million used for the repurchase of shares of our common stock and $80.1 million used to pay cash dividends, partially offset by proceeds of $7.6 million from the exercise of employee stock options. Net cash used in financing activities in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008 was primarily due to $209.3 million used for the repurchase of shares of our common stock, $91.1 million used for net repayments of borrowings and $61.3 million used to pay cash dividends, partially offset by proceeds of $31.6 million from the exercise of employee stock options.
Common Stock Repurchases
     During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we used $50 million to repurchase 1,251,509 shares of our common stock under our repurchase program at an average price per share of $39.95, including commissions. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we used $100 million to repurchase 1,839,796 shares of our common stock under our repurchase program at an average price per share of $54.35, including commissions. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2009, we used $125 million to repurchase 2,722,438 shares of our common stock under our repurchase program at an average price per share of $45.91, including commissions. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2008, we used $200 million to repurchase 3,507,154 shares of our common stock under our repurchase program at an average price per share of $57.01, including commissions. In the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and third quarter of fiscal 2008, $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in shares of our common stock were delivered to us or withheld by us to satisfy withholding taxes on employee share-based awards. In the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 and first three quarters of fiscal 2008, $7.3 million and $9.3 million, respectively, in shares of our common stock were delivered to us or withheld by us to satisfy withholding taxes on employee share-based awards. Shares repurchased by us are cancelled and retired.

     On February 27, 2009, our Board of Directors approved a new $600 million share repurchase program (the “2009 Repurchase Program”). The new 2009 Repurchase Program is in addition to our previous share repurchase authorization (the “2007 Repurchase Program”), which had a remaining authorization of approximately $50 million at February 27, 2009. As of April 3, 2009, we have a remaining authorization to repurchase approximately $650 million in shares of our common stock on a combined basis under our 2007 Repurchase Program and our new 2009 Repurchase Program. Neither our 2007 Repurchase Program nor our new 2009 Repurchase Program has a stated expiration date. Additional information regarding share repurchases during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and our repurchase programs is set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Part II. Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.”
Dividend Policy
     On August 23, 2008, our Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend rate on our common stock from $.15 per share to $.20 per share, for an annualized rate of $.80 per share. Our annual cash dividend rate on our common stock was $.60 per share in fiscal 2008. The declaration of dividends and the amount thereof will depend on a number of factors, including our financial position, capital requirements, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors that our Board may deem relevant. There can be no assurances that our quarterly dividend will continue to increase or that dividends will be paid at all in the future.
Capital Structure and Resources
     On September 10, 2008, we entered into the 2008 Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders. The 2008 Credit Agreement provides for the extension of credit to us in the form of revolving loans, including swingline loans, and letters of credit at any time and from time to time during the term of the 2008 Credit Agreement, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $750 million for both revolving loans and letters of credit, with a sub-limit of $50 million for swingline loans and $125 million for letters of credit. This $750 million credit facility replaces our prior $500 million credit facility established pursuant to the five-year, senior unsecured revolving credit agreement we entered into on March 31, 2005 with a syndicate of lenders. The 2008 Credit Agreement includes a provision pursuant to which, from time to time, we may request that the lenders in their discretion increase the maximum amount of commitments under the 2008 Credit Agreement by an amount not to exceed $500 million. Only consenting lenders (including new lenders reasonably acceptable to the administrative agent) will participate in any such increase. In no event will the maximum amount of credit extensions available under the 2008 Credit Agreement exceed $1.25 billion. The 2008 Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes (excluding hostile acquisitions) and to support any commercial paper that we may issue. Borrowings under the 2008 Credit Agreement may be denominated in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Sterling and any other currency acceptable to the administrative agent and the lenders, with a non-U.S. currency sub-limit of $150 million. We may designate certain wholly-owned subsidiaries as borrowers under the 2008 Credit Agreement, and the obligations of any such subsidiary borrower must be guaranteed by Harris Corporation. We also may designate certain subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries, which means certain of the covenants and representations in the 2008 Credit Agreement do not apply to such subsidiaries. Harris Stratex Networks and its subsidiaries are unrestricted subsidiaries under the 2008 Credit Agreement.
     At our election, borrowings under the 2008 Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. Dollars will bear interest either at LIBOR plus an applicable margin or at the base rate plus an applicable margin. The interest rate margin over LIBOR, initially set at 0.50 percent, may increase (to a maximum amount of 1.725 percent) or decrease (to a minimum of 0.385 percent) based on changes in our Senior Debt Ratings and on the degree of Utilization. The base rate is a fluctuating rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent or SunTrust Bank’s publicly announced prime lending rate for U.S. Dollars. The interest rate margin over the base rate is 0.00 percent, but if our Senior Debt Ratings fall to “BB+/Ba1” or below, then the interest rate margin over the base rate will increase to either 0.225 percent or 0.725 percent based on Utilization. Borrowings under the 2008 Credit Agreement denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars will bear interest at LIBOR plus the applicable interest rate margin over LIBOR described above. Letter of credit fees are also determined based on our Senior Debt Ratings and Utilization.

     The 2008 Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including covenants limiting: certain liens on our assets; certain mergers, consolidations or sales of assets; certain sale and leaseback transactions; certain vendor financing investments; and certain investments in unrestricted subsidiaries. The 2008 Credit Agreement also requires that we not permit our ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to total capital, each as defined, to be greater than 0.60 to 1.00 and not permit our ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense, each as defined, to be less than 3.00 to 1.00 (measured on the last day of each fiscal quarter for the rolling four-quarter period then ending). The 2008 Credit Agreement contains certain events of default, including: failure to make payments; failure to perform or observe terms, covenants and agreements; material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty; payment default under other indebtedness with a principal amount in excess of $75 million or acceleration of such indebtedness; occurrence of one or more final judgments or orders for the payment of money in excess of $75 million that remain unsatisfied; incurrence of certain ERISA liability in excess of $75 million; any bankruptcy or insolvency; or a change of control, including if a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 25 percent or more of our voting stock. If an event of default occurs the lenders may, among other things, terminate their commitments and declare all outstanding borrowings to be immediately due and payable together with accrued interest and fees. All amounts borrowed or outstanding under the 2008 Credit Agreement are due and mature on September 10, 2013, unless the commitments are terminated earlier either at our request or if certain events of default occur. At April 3, 2009, we had no borrowings outstanding under the 2008 Credit Agreement.
     On December 5, 2007, we completed the issuance of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.95% Notes due December 1, 2017. Interest on the notes is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year. We may redeem the notes at any time in whole or, from time to time, in part at the “make-whole” redemption price. The “make-whole” redemption price is equal to the greater of 100 percent of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed or the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of the principal and interest (other than interest accruing to the date of redemption) on the notes being redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, as defined, plus 30 basis points. In each case, we will pay accrued interest on the principal amount of the notes being redeemed to the redemption date. In addition, upon a change of control combined with a below-investment-grade rating event, we may be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued interest on the notes repurchased to the date of repurchase. In conjunction with the issuance of the notes, we entered into treasury lock agreements to protect against fluctuations in forecasted interest payments resulting from the issuance of ten-year, fixed rate debt due to changes in the benchmark U.S. Treasury rate. In accordance with Statement 133, these agreements were determined to be highly effective in offsetting changes in forecasted interest payments as a result of changes in the benchmark U.S. Treasury rate. Upon termination of these agreements on December 6, 2007, we recorded a loss of $5.5 million, net of income tax, in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. This loss, along with $5.0 million in debt issuance costs, will be amortized over the life of the notes on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest rate method, and is reflected as a portion of interest expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).
     On September 20, 2005, we completed the issuance of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 5% Notes due October 1, 2015. Interest on the notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. We may redeem the notes in whole, or in part, at any time at the “make-whole” redemption price. The “make-whole” redemption price is equal to the greater of 100 percent of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed or the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of the principal and interest (other than interest accruing to the date of redemption) on the notes being redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, as defined, plus 15 basis points. In each case, we will pay accrued interest on the principal amount of the notes being redeemed to the redemption date. We incurred $4.1 million in debt issuance costs and discounts related to the issuance of the notes, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a ten-year period and reflected as a portion of interest expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).
     In February 1998, we completed the issuance of $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.35% Debentures due February 1, 2028. On December 5, 2007, we repurchased and retired $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the debentures. On February 1, 2008, we redeemed $99.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the debentures pursuant to the procedures for redemption at the option of the holders of the debentures. We may redeem the remaining $25.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the debentures in whole, or in part, at any time at a pre-determined redemption price.
     In January 1996, we completed the issuance of $100 million in aggregate principal amount of 7% Debentures due January 15, 2026. The debentures are not redeemable prior to maturity.
     Our existing universal shelf registration statement expired in March 2009. We expect to file with the SEC a new automatically effective, universal shelf registration statement related to the potential future issuance of an indeterminate amount of securities, including debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, fractional interests in preferred stock represented by depositary shares and warrants to purchase debt securities, preferred stock or common stock.

     Prior to the combination with Stratex, Stratex was a party to the Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility with Silicon Valley Bank, and following the combination, Stratex (now named “Harris Stratex Networks Operating Corporation” and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris Stratex Networks), remained a party to the Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility with Silicon Valley Bank. As discussed below, the Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility (also referred to as the Terminated Facility) was terminated and replaced in the first quarter of our fiscal 2009. Harris and its subsidiaries (other than Harris Stratex Networks Operating Corporation) are not and were not parties to, obligated under or guarantors of the Terminated Facility. Indebtedness under the Terminated Facility is reflected as of June 27, 2008 in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a result of the consolidation of Harris Stratex Networks. The Terminated Facility allowed for revolving credit borrowings of up to $50 million. As of June 27, 2008, the balance of the term loan portion of the Terminated Facility was $8.7 million (of which $5.0 million was recorded in the current portion of long-term debt at June 27, 2008) and there was $8.6 million in outstanding standby letters of credit.
     On June 30, 2008, in the first quarter of our fiscal 2009, the Terminated Facility was terminated and replaced with the New Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility as of that date with Silicon Valley Bank and Bank of America, N.A. Harris and its subsidiaries (other than Harris Stratex Networks and certain of its subsidiaries) are not parties to, obligated under or guarantors of the New Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility. The balance of the term loan portion of the Terminated Facility of $8.7 million was repaid in full with the proceeds of a $10 million borrowing under the New Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility. The standby letters of credit outstanding under the Terminated Facility as of the termination date remained as an obligation to Silicon Valley Bank, and $5.1 million of such standby letters of credit were still outstanding as of April 3, 2009. The New Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility provides for an initial committed amount of $70 million with an uncommitted option for an additional $50 million available with the same or additional lenders. The New Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility has an initial term of three years and provides for (1) demand borrowings (with no stated maturity date) with an interest rate of the greater of Bank of America’s prime rate and the federal funds rate plus 0.5 percent, (2) fixed term Eurodollar loans up to six months or more as agreed with the lenders with an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread of between 1.25 percent to 2.00 percent based on the current leverage ratio of Harris Stratex Networks and its consolidated subsidiaries, and (3) the issuance of standby or commercial letters of credit. The New Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility contains a minimum liquidity ratio covenant and a maximum leverage ratio covenant and is unsecured. At April 3, 2009, Harris Stratex Networks had $10.0 million of borrowings and $8.7 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the New Harris Stratex Networks Credit Facility.
     We have uncommitted short-term lines of credit from various international banks. 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. These lines do not require compensating balances. We also have a short-term commercial paper program in place, which we may utilize to satisfy short-term cash requirements and which is supported by our 2008 Credit Agreement. There were no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program at April 3, 2009.
     Our debt is currently rated “BBB+” by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group and “Baa1” by Moody’s Investors Service. We expect to maintain operating ratios, fixed-charge coverage ratios and balance sheet ratios sufficient for retention of, or improvement to, these debt ratings. There are no assurances that our debt ratings will not be reduced in the future. If our debt ratings are lowered below “investment grade,” then we may not be able to issue short-term commercial paper, but may instead need to borrow under our credit facilities or pursue other options. We do not currently foresee losing our investment-grade debt ratings, but no assurances can be given. If our debt ratings were downgraded, however, it could adversely impact, among other things, our future borrowing costs and access to capital markets.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     In accordance with the definition under SEC 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.

Table of Contents

     Currently we are not participating in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including variable interest entities, and we do not have any material retained or contingent interest in assets as defined above. As of April 3, 2009, we did not have material financial guarantees or other contractual commitments that are reasonably likely to adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In addition, we are not currently a party to any related party transactions that materially affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
     We have, from time to time, divested certain of our businesses and assets. In connection with these divestitures, we often provide representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks and unknown liabilities, such as environmental liabilities and tax liabilities. We cannot estimate the potential liability from such representations, warranties and indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. We do not believe, however, that the liabilities relating to these representations, warranties and indemnities will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     Due to our downsizing of certain operations pursuant to acquisitions, restructuring plans or otherwise, certain properties leased by us have been sublet to third parties. In the event any of these third parties vacates any of these premises, we would be legally obligated under master lease arrangements. We believe that the financial risk of default by such sublessees is individually and in the aggregate not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Commercial Commitments and Contractual Obligations
     The amounts disclosed in our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K include our commercial commitments and contractual obligations. During the quarter ended April 3, 2009, other than the aforementioned pending acquisition of the Wireless Systems business of Tyco Electronics Ltd., and the now completed acquisition of Crucial Security, Inc., which were both announced on April 16, 2009 and have a purchase price of approximately $708 million on a combined basis, no material changes occurred in our contractual cash obligations to repay debt, to purchase goods and services and to make payments under operating leases or our commercial commitments and contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit, guarantees and other arrangements as disclosed in our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
     Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and accompanying Notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1: “Significant Accounting Policies” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K, as updated by our Form 8-K Recast. Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting policies and estimates for us include: (i) revenue recognition on development and production contracts and contract estimates, (ii) provisions for excess and obsolete inventory losses, (iii) impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets, (iv) income taxes and tax valuation allowances, and (v) assumptions used to record stock option and share-based compensation. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K, as updated by our Form 8-K Recast.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
     As described in Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements in the Notes, there are accounting pronouncements that have recently been issued but not yet implemented by us. Note A includes a description of the potential impact that these pronouncements are expected to have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they do not materialize or prove correct, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements concerning: our plans, strategies and objectives for future operations; new products, services or developments; future economic conditions, performance or outlook; the outcome of contingencies; the potential level of share repurchases; the value of our contract awards and programs; expected cash flows or capital expenditures; our beliefs or expectations; activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future; and assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “projects” and similar words or expressions. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s opinions only as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are not guarantees of future performance or actual results. Forward-looking statements are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The following are some factors we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected or historical results:
    We participate in markets that are often subject to uncertain economic conditions, which makes it difficult to estimate growth in our markets and, as a result, future income and expenditures.
 
    We depend on the U.S. Government for a significant portion of our revenue, and the loss of this relationship or a shift in U.S. Government funding could have adverse consequences on our future business.
 
    We depend significantly on our U.S. Government contracts, which often are only partially funded, subject to immediate termination, and heavily regulated and audited. The termination or failure to fund one or more of these contracts could have an adverse impact on our business.
 
    We enter into fixed-price contracts that could subject us to losses in the event of cost overruns or a significant increase in inflation.
 
    We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from international operations and are subject to the risks of doing business internationally, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
 
    We may not be successful in obtaining the necessary export licenses to conduct certain operations abroad, and Congress or the Administration may prevent proposed sales to certain foreign governments.
 
    Our future success will depend on our ability to develop new products and technologies that achieve market acceptance in our current and future markets.
 
    We cannot predict the consequences of future geo-political events, but they may affect adversely the markets in which we operate, our ability to insure against risks, our operations or our profitability.
 
    We have made, and may continue to make, strategic acquisitions that involve significant risks and uncertainties.
 
    The inability of our subcontractors to perform, or our key suppliers to timely deliver our components or parts, could cause our products to be produced in an untimely or unsatisfactory manner.
 
    Third parties have claimed in the past and may claim in the future that we are infringing directly or indirectly upon their intellectual property rights, and third parties may infringe upon our intellectual property rights.
 
    The outcome of litigation or arbitration in which we are involved is unpredictable and an adverse decision in any such matter could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
 
    We are subject to customer credit risk.
 
    We face certain significant risk exposures and potential liabilities that may not be covered adequately by insurance or indemnity.
 
    Changes in our effective tax rate may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Table of Contents

    Our consolidated financial results may be impacted by Harris Stratex Networks’ financial results, which may vary significantly and be difficult to forecast.
 
    We have significant operations in Florida, California and other locations that could be materially and adversely impacted in the event of a natural disaster or other significant disruption.
 
    Changes in future business conditions could cause business investments and/or recorded goodwill to become impaired, resulting in substantial losses and write-downs that would reduce our results of operations.
 
    In order to be successful, we must attract and retain key employees, and failure to do so could seriously harm us.
 
    The effects of the recession in the United States and general downturn in the global economy, including financial market disruptions, could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results or financial position.
     Additional details and discussions concerning some of the factors that could affect our forward-looking statements or future results are set forth in our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K under Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” The foregoing list of factors and the factors set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K and in Part II. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not exhaustive. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently believe not to be material also may adversely impact our operations and financial position. Should any risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, cash flows and results of operations. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made as of the date hereof and we disclaim any intention or obligation, other than imposed by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. For further information concerning risk factors, see Part II. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
     In the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. We employ established policies and procedures governing the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.
     Foreign Exchange and Currency: We use foreign exchange contracts and options to hedge both balance sheet and off-balance sheet future foreign currency commitments. Factors that could impact the effectiveness of our hedging programs for foreign currency include accuracy of sales estimates, volatility of currency markets and the cost and availability of hedging instruments. A 10 percent adverse change in currency exchange rates for our foreign currency derivatives held at April 3, 2009 would have an impact of approximately $5.5 million on the fair value of such instruments. This quantification of exposure to the market risk associated with foreign exchange financial instruments does not take into account the offsetting impact of changes in the fair value of our foreign denominated assets, liabilities and firm commitments. See Note N — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes for additional information.
     Interest Rates: As of April 3, 2009, we have debt obligations subject to interest rate risk. Because the interest rates on our long-term debt obligations are fixed, and because our long-term debt is not putable (redeemable at the option of the holders of the debt prior to maturity), the interest rate risk associated with this debt on our results of operations is not material. We have a short-term variable-rate commercial paper program in place, which we may utilize to satisfy short-term cash requirements. The interest rate risk associated with our commercial paper is not material as these borrowings are only for short periods until refinanced by fixed-rate long-term debt or paid off using operating cash flows. There can be no assurances that interest rates will not change significantly or have a material effect on our income or cash flows over the next twelve months.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
     (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures: We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not control or manage those entities, our controls and procedures with respect to those entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries. As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2009, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2009 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

     (b) Changes in internal control: We periodically review our system of internal control over financial reporting as part of our efforts to ensure compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In addition, we periodically review our system of internal control over financial reporting to identify potential changes to our processes and systems that may improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating the activities of acquired business units, migrating certain processes to our shared services organizations, formalizing policies and procedures, improving segregation of duties, and adding additional monitoring controls. In addition, when we acquire new businesses, we incorporate our controls and procedures into the acquired business as part of our integration activities. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
     (c) Events Relating to Harris Stratex Networks: During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, our majority-owned publicly-traded subsidiary, Harris Stratex Networks, restated its financial statements for the first three fiscal quarters of its fiscal 2008 (the quarters ended March 28, 2008, December 28, 2007 and September 28, 2007) and for its fiscal years ended June 29, 2007, June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 due to accounting errors. Harris Stratex Networks reported that as a result of such accounting errors, as of June 27, 2008, there were material weaknesses in its disclosure controls and procedures and in its system of internal control over financial reporting that led to the need to restate its financial statements. These events relating to Harris Stratex Networks were considered in our evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, and our management concluded that we maintained effective disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and effective internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2009. We have been advised by Harris Stratex Networks management that they anticipate that all material weaknesses that were identified in Harris Stratex Networks’ system of internal control over financial reporting will be remediated by the end of fiscal 2009. We will continue to evaluate whether the above events relating to Harris Stratex Networks will require any change in fiscal 2009 to our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
     Harris Stratex Networks and certain of its current and former officers and directors, including certain current Harris officers, were named as defendants in a federal securities class action complaint filed on September 15, 2008 in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by plaintiff Norfolk County Retirement System on behalf of an alleged class of purchasers of Harris Stratex Networks securities from January 29, 2007 to July 30, 2008, including shareholders of Stratex who exchanged shares of Stratex for shares of Harris Stratex Networks as part of the combination between Stratex and our former Microwave Communications Division. This action relates to the restatement of Harris Stratex Networks’ financial statements as discussed in Part I. Item 4. “Controls and Procedures” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Similar complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on October 6, 2008 and October 30, 2008. Each such complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and of Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, as well as violations of Section 11 and Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and seeks, among other relief, determinations that the action is a proper class action, unspecified compensatory damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Harris Stratex Networks has entered into stipulations with plaintiffs’ counsel in these actions under which Harris Stratex Networks and the other named defendants will not have to respond to these claims until a lead plaintiff is selected by the Court and that lead plaintiff has filed a consolidated class action complaint. Harris and Harris Stratex Networks believe that the defendants have meritorious defenses to these actions and the defendants intend to defend the litigation vigorously.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
     Investors should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors which could materially affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial position set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K and Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 2, 2009. We do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 2, 2009. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem not to be material may also impair our business operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
     During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we repurchased 1,251,509 shares of our common stock under our repurchase program at an average price per share of $39.93, excluding commissions. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we repurchased 1,839,796 shares of our common stock under our repurchase program at an average price per share of $54.32, excluding commissions. The level of our repurchases depends on a number of factors, including our financial position, capital requirements, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant. The timing, volume and nature of share repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors and are at the discretion of management and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Shares repurchased by us are cancelled and retired. The following table sets forth information with respect to repurchases by us of our common stock during the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2009:

*   Periods represent our fiscal months.
 
(1)   On May 1, 2007, we announced that on April 27, 2007, our Board of Directors approved the 2007 Repurchase Program authorizing us to repurchase up to $600 million of our stock through open-market transactions, private transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions or any combination thereof. The 2007 Repurchase Program does not have a stated expiration date. The 2007 Repurchase Program has a remaining authorization of $50,343,215 at April 3, 2009. On March 2, 2009, we announced that on February 27, 2009, our Board of Directors approved the 2009 Repurchase Program authorizing us to repurchase up to an additional $600 million of our stock through open-market transactions, private transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions or any combination thereof. The 2009 Repurchase Program does not have a stated expiration date. The approximate dollar amount of our stock that may yet be purchased on a combined basis under our 2007 Repurchase Program and our new 2009 Repurchase Program as of April 3, 2009 is $650,343,215 (as reflected in the table above). Our 2007 Repurchase Program has resulted, and on a combined basis our 2007 Repurchase Program and our new 2009 Repurchase Program are expected to continue to result, in repurchases in excess of offsetting the dilutive effect of shares issued under our share-based incentive plans. However, the level of our repurchases depends on a number of factors, including our financial position, capital requirements, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant. As a matter of policy, we do not repurchase shares during the period beginning on the 15th day of the third month of a fiscal quarter and ending two days following the public release of earnings and financial results for such fiscal quarter.
 
(2)   Represents a combination of (a) shares of our common stock delivered to us in satisfaction of the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligation by holders of employee stock options who exercised stock options, (b) shares of our common stock delivered to us in satisfaction of the tax withholding obligation of holders of performance shares or restricted shares which vested during the quarter, (c) performance or restricted shares returned to us upon retirement or employment termination of employees or (d) shares of our common stock purchased by the trustee of the Harris Corporation Master Rabbi Trust at our direction to fund obligations under our deferred compensation plans. Our equity incentive plans provide that the value of shares delivered to us to pay the exercise price of options or to cover tax withholding obligations shall be the closing price of our common stock on the date the relevant transaction occurs.
