INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Lanier Worldwide, Inc.
  Save to Accumulate Retirement $ Plan
Atlanta, Georgia


We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of the Lanier Worldwide, Inc. Save to Accumulate Retirement $ Plan (the "Plan",
formerly the Lanier Worldwide, Inc. Savings Incentive Plan) as of June 30, 2000,
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for
the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of The Lanier
Worldwide, Inc. Savings Incentive Plan as of and for the year ended June 30,
1999 were reported on by other auditors whose report dated August 31, 1999
expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
June 30, 2000, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
ended June 30, 2000, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes at end of year is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

1.       DESCRIPTION       The following description of the Lanier Worldwide,
         OF PLAN           Inc. Save to Accumulate OF PLAN Retirement $ Plan
                           ("Plan," formerly the Lanier Worldwide, Inc. Savings
                           Incentive Plan) provides only general information.
                           Participants should refer to the Plan agreement or
                           Summary Plan Description for a more complete
                           description of the Plan's provisions.

                           a.       General - The Plan is a defined contribution
                                    plan covering substantially all full-time
                                    employees of Lanier Worldwide, Inc. (the
                                    "Company") who are age twenty-one or older.
                                    It is subject to the provisions of the
                                    Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
                                    1974 (ERISA).

                                    On November 5, 1999 Harris Corporation
                                    distributed one share of Lanier Worldwide,
                                    Inc. common stock for each share of Harris
                                    Corporation common stock owned to
                                    shareholders of record on November 1, 1999
                                    as a result of the spin off of Lanier
                                    Worldwide, Inc. from Harris Corporation.
                                    Some employees of Harris Corporation
                                    transferred into this plan during the year
                                    ended June 30, 2000.

                           b.       Contributions - Each year, participants may
                                    contribute up to 15 percent of pretax annual
                                    compensation, as defined in the Plan.
                                    Participants may also contribute amounts
                                    representing distributions from other
                                    qualified defined benefit or defined
                                    contribution plans. Participants direct the
                                    investment of their contributions into
                                    various investment options offered by the
                                    Plan. The Plan currently offers Lanier
                                    Worldwide, Inc. common stock and nine mutual
                                    funds as investment options for
                                    participants.

                                    Effective with the spin off, the Harris
                                    Corporations common stock investment option
                                    is no longer available. Shares of the Harris
                                    Corporation common stock held in the
                                    participant's accounts can be retained or
                                    sold, with the proceeds used to purchase

                           c.       Participant Accounts - Each participant's
                                    account is credited with the participant's
                                    contribution, the Company's contributions,
                                    Plan earnings, and charged with an
                                    allocation of administrative expenses.
                                    Allocations are based on participant
                                    earnings or account balances, as defined.
                                    The benefit to which a participant is
                                    entitled is the benefit that can be provided
                                    from the participant's vested account.

                           d.       Vesting - Participants are immediately
                                    vested in their contributions plus actual
                                    earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's
                                    contribution portion of their accounts is
                                    based on years of credited service. A
                                    participant is 100 percent vested after five
                                    years of credited service.

                                    balance. The loans are secured by the
                                    balance in the participant's account and
                                    bear interest at a rate commensurate with
                                    local prevailing rates. Interest rates range
                                    from 6.50 to 9.50 percent. Principal and
                                    interest are paid ratably through payroll
                                    deductions.

                                    service due to death, disability, retirement
                                    or separation from service, a participant
                                    may elect to receive either a lump-sum
                                    amount equal to the value of the
                                    participant's vested interest in his or her
                                    account, or in the form of installments.

                           g.       Forfeitures - Forfeited nonvested accounts
                                    are used to reduce future Company
                                    contributions. As of June 30, 2000 and 1999
                                    forfeited nonvested accounts totalled
                                    $599,047 and $359,533, respectively.

2.       SUMMARY OF        BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
         SIGNIFICANT
         ACCOUNTING        The financial statements of the Plan are prepared
         POLICIES          under the accrual method of accounting.

                           MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES

                           The preparation of financial statements in conformity
                           with generally accepted accounting principles
                           requires management to make estimates and assumptions
                           that affect the reported amounts of assets and
                           liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of
                           contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results
                           could differ from those estimates.

                           INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

                           The Plan's investments are stated at fair market
                           value. Shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted
                           market prices, which represent the net asset value of
                           shares held by the Plan at year-end. Lanier
                           Worldwide, Inc. common stock and Harris Corporation
                           common stock is valued at its quoted market price.
                           Participant loans are valued at cost which
                           approximates fair market value.

                           Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a
                           trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the
                           accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the
                           ex-dividend date.

                           PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

                           Benefits are recorded when paid.

                           NEW ACCOUNTING PROVISION

                           In September 1999, the American Institute of
                           Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of
                           Position ("SOP") No. 99-3, Accounting for and
                           Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution Plan
                           Investments and Other Disclosure Matters. This
                           statement established standards for simplified
                           disclosures for certain investments. The Plan adopted
                           the provisions of this statement for the Plan year
                           ended June 30, 2000. As a result, disclosures made in
                           the prior year for the separate fund information have
                           been eliminated in these financial statements, to be
                           consistent with the current year presentation.


                                                                               8

3.       INVESTMENTS       The fair market value of individual investments that
                           represent 5 percent or more of the Plan's net assets

4.       RELATED PARTY     Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds
         TRANSACTIONS      managed by T. Rowe Price Trust Company. T. Rowe Price
                           Trust Company is the trustee as defined by the Plan
                           and, therefore, these transactions qualify as
                           party-in-interest. Fees paid by the Plan for the
                           investment management services amounted to $14,194
                           and $6,993 for the years ended June 30, 2000 and
                           1999, respectively.

                           At June 30, 2000 and 1999 the Plan held 89,529 and
                           116,906 shares of Harris Corporation common stock and
                           927,262 and 0 shares of Lanier Worldwide Inc. common
                           stock, respectively.

5.       PLAN TERMINATION  Although it has not expressed any intent to do so,
                           the Company has the right under the Plan to
                           discontinue its contributions at any time, and to
                           terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of
                           ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants
                           will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

6.     TAX STATUS          The Internal Revenue Service has determined and
                           informed the Company by a letter dated April 30,
                           1999, that the Plan and related trust are designed in
                           accordance with applicable sections of the Internal
                           Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has been amended since
                           receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan
                           administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that
                           the Plan is designed and is currently being operated
                           in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
                           IRC.
