NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


January 2, 1998

Note A -- Basis of Presentation
- -------------------------------

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes
necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of
operations, and changes in cash flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. For further information refer to the financial statements
and notes to financial statements included in the Corporation's Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended June 27, 1997.


Note B -- Stock Split
- ---------------------

On August 23, 1997, the Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock split
to shareholders of record on September 4, 1997. All references in the financial
statements and exhibits to number of shares and per share amounts (except for
the number of shares shown in Item 4 of this 10-Q) of the Corporation's Common
Stock have been restated to reflect the increased number of shares outstanding.


Note C -- Accounting Change
- ---------------------------

For the quarter ended January 2, 1998, the Corporation adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share". This standard
requires reporting of both "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. For periods
presented, these amounts do not differ materially from amounts previously shown
as "primary" and "fully diluted" earnings per share. Prior year results have
been restated to conform with the new standard.


Note D -- Credit Arrangements
- -----------------------------

In October 1997, the Corporation extended the 364-Day $300 million portion of
the $800 million syndicated credit facility for an additional 364-Day period.
The $800 facility provides for drawings at interest rates determined by a
pricing matrix based upon the Corporation's long-term debt rating.

Note E -- Financial Instruments
- -------------------------------

The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to hedge off-balance sheet foreign
currency commitments and anticipated transactions. The Company has significant
manufacturing operations in Malaysia and has a hedging program in place to set
the exchange rates on the Company's foreign currency operating commitments in
Malaysia. Under this hedging program, increases or decreases in the Company's
local currency manufacturing costs and operating expenses are partially offset
by realized gains and losses, respectively, on the hedging instruments.
Malaysian Ringgit contracts at January 2, 1998 were as follows:

</TABLE>

Communications segment sales were slightly lower in the second quarter compared
to a very strong prior year second quarter. Segment sales for the current
quarter were negatively impacted by difficult market conditions associated with
the Asian economy and the deferral of the use of microwave radios in the PCS
rollout in the U.S. For the first two quarters sales were modestly higher.
Earnings for the segment were significantly higher for the second quarter and
year-to-date primarily due to gains from the sale of an investment security
(Advanced Fibre Communications, Inc.), which was partially offset by the
significant marketing expenses associated with the rollout of the segment's
digital television product line. Net after-tax gains from the sale of AFCI
securities in the current quarter were $7.4 million. Improvement in the
segment's digital switch business, coupled with growth in the segment's
microwave systems, broadcast products and telephone test equipment businesses,
is expected to result in higher sales and earnings in fiscal 1998.

Semiconductor segment sales were moderately higher for the quarter and
year-to-date, while earnings were up sharply for the second quarter and
moderately higher year-to-date. Improved sales and margins in the segment's
power product line and productivity improvements throughout the business have
helped offset the impact of industry-wide pricing pressure and the downturn in
Asian markets. Royalty income continues to be significant for all periods
presented. For the second half of fiscal 1998, the segment expects increased
sales of higher margin products that should result in increased sales and
earnings.

The Lanier Worldwide segment had strong domestic sales for both the second
quarter and the year-to-date compared to the prior year periods. Segment
earnings did not keep pace with the increase in sales due to higher than
anticipated product discounting which resulted in part from the weakening
Japanese yen. For the second half of the fiscal year, the segment expects
continuing strong sales growth and improving margins.

Electronic Systems segment reported relatively flat sales for both the second
quarter and the first two quarters reflecting declines in FAA programs and the
spin-out of sales to a joint venture. Operating profit was modestly higher for
both periods, while net income was slightly lower for the second quarter and
flat for the year-to-date compared to last year's results.

Segment results were bolstered by strong performance from the segment's
information systems business. Revenue for the year is expected to be flat with
moderately lower earnings, due to reduced margins from the segment's core
defense products.

Corporate expense increased significantly in the second quarter compared to the
prior year's second quarter due to foreign currency gains included in the prior
year results.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 66.1 percent in the
second quarter and 66.5 percent in the first two quarters of this year, compared
to 67.1 percent and 66.7 percent for the respective periods last year. Cost
ratios were lower for the Communications and Electronic Systems segments.

Engineering, selling, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
were unchanged for the second quarter and decreased to 25.5 percent for the
year, compared to 25.7 percent last year due to lower operating expense ratios
for the Lanier Worldwide and Electronic Systems segments. Total research and
development expense, which includes both Company funded and customer sponsored,
increased $24.1 million to $346.1 million for the first two quarters.

Interest expense is higher for the second quarter and the first two quarters due
to higher borrowings. The decrease in "Other-net" expense for the first two
quarters compared to the prior year period resulted from increased gains from
the sale of investment securities which were offset in part by losses on foreign
currency transactions.

The provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax income was 34.0 percent
in both the second quarter and the first two quarters, compared to 34.5 percent
for the same periods a year ago. The statutory federal tax rate for all periods
was 35.0 percent. All periods benefited from lower tax rates on foreign source 
income and export sales.

Net income as a percentage of sales was 5.4 percent for the second quarter and
4.9 percent for the year-to-date, compared to 4.8 percent and 4.6 percent in the
same periods last year for the previously stated reasons.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Working capital decreased from $774.9 million at June 27, 1997, to $736.4
million at the end of the second quarter due to lower receivables and unbilled
costs on fixed price contracts. The Company continues to invest in the capital
expansion of its semiconductor business. Total capital expenditures in fiscal
1998, including expenditures for customer rental equipment, are expected to be
approximately $300 million. The requirement for funds to finance this investment
and other operational requirements are expected to be met by cash flow from
operations and unused borrowing capacity.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

Certain software and hardware systems are time sensitive. Older time sensitive
systems often use a two digit dating convention (e.g., "00" rather than "2000")
that could result in system failure and disruption of operations as the Year
2000 approaches. The Year 2000 problem will impact the Company, its vendors and
suppliers, customers, and other third parties that interface with the Company.

The Company determined it needed to replace or modify many of its software
applications so that these applications function properly in the future. The
Company has replaced, or is in the process of replacing, many of its software
applications that are time sensitive. The Company has programs for testing and
reprogramming all other time sensitive software programs and equipment and
anticipates completing its Year 2000 projects during fiscal 1999.

The Company has also initiated communications with significant suppliers,
customers and other relevant third parties to minimize disruptions to the
Company's operations and to ensure that Year 2000 issues are satisfactorily
resolved. However, there can be no certainty that the systems and products of
other companies on which the Company relies will not have an adverse effect on
the Company's operations. The Company has initiated formal programs to advise
and work with customers to resolve Year 2000 problems; however, the Company
believes it has no material exposure to contingencies related to the Year 2000
issue for the products it has sold.

The Company believes that it will satisfactorily resolve all significant Year
2000 problems and that related costs will not be material. Estimates of Year
2000 related costs are based on numerous assumptions and there is no certainty
that estimates will be achieved and actual costs could materially differ from
those anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such differences include,
but are not limited to, the continuing availability of personnel trained in this
area, the ability to identify and correct all relevant computer programs, and
similar uncertainties.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains, and certain of the Company's other public documents and
statements and oral statements contain and will contain, forward-looking
statements that reflect management's current assumptions and estimates of future
performance and economic conditions. Such statements are made in reliance upon
the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements are
subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results and future
trends to differ materially from those projected, stated, or implied by the
forward-looking statements.

The Company's consolidated results and the forward-looking statements could be
affected by, among other things, general economic conditions in the markets in
which the Company operates; economic developments that have a particularly
adverse effect on one or more of the markets served by the Company; ability to
execute management's internal operating plans; fluctuation in foreign currency
exchange rates and the effectiveness of the Company's currency hedging program;
worldwide demand for integrated semiconductor circuits, particularly power
products; reductions in the U.S. and worldwide defense and space budgets; effect
of continuing consolidation in the U.S. defense industry on the Company's direct
and indirect business with the U.S. government; the Company's ability to recover
costs incurred on fixed price contracts; termination of customer contracts;
continued development and market acceptance of new products, especially digital
television broadcast products and semiconductor wireless products; continued
success of the Company's patent licensing programs, particularly as it relates
to the Semiconductor segment; and the successful resolution of patent
infringement and other general litigation.

any Plan Year if he receives compensation for such Plan Year from the
Corporation at least equal to an amount to be determined for such year by the
Committee in its sole discretion, and such employee either (i) is a participant
in the Retirement Plan whose Pre-Tax Contributions, Matching Pre-Tax
Contributions or Profit Sharing Contributions under the Retirement Plan are

election form described in Article IV. As a condition to participation, each
employee shall agree to receive any payments made pursuant to the SERP in the
form of direct deposit (or other method determined by the Committee).

3.2. CONTINUED PARTICIPATION. Any individual who was a participant in the SERP
on December 31, 1997 shall continue to be a Participant in the SERP as long as
he has a balance credited to his Account.


                           ARTICLE IV - CONTRIBUTIONS

4.1. ELECTION BY RETIREMENT PLAN PARTICIPANT. An amount equal to the Pre-Tax
Contributions, Matching Pre-Tax Contributions and Profit Sharing Contributions
under the Retirement Plan that exceed the limitations of section 401(a)(17),
401(k)(3), 401(m)(2)(A), 402(g) or 415 of the Code shall be credited to a

discretion, may grant a special award to any Participant by crediting his
Account in an amount equal to the award.

4.4. TRANSFERRED ACCOUNTS. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide
that a Participant's Account shall be credited with an amount credited to him
under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan maintained by his prior
employer. If the Committee so provides, then the Committee shall determine the
extent to which the Participant shall be vested in the balance of his Account
attributable to such amount.


                                       2
<PAGE>   3


                      ARTICLE V - ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENTS

5.1. ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNTS. An Account shall be established on the books of
the Corporation in the name of and on behalf of each Participant. A
Participant's Account shall be credited in an amount equal to (i) the
Compensation the Participant elected to defer pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2,
(ii) any special awards granted to the Participant pursuant to Section 4.3,
(iii) any amount permitted to be credited to the Participant's Account by the
Committee pursuant to Section 4.4 and (iv) any deemed investment gains and
losses determined pursuant to Section 5.2.

5.2.  ACCOUNT INVESTMENTS.

         (a) RETIREMENT PLAN PARTICIPANTS. If a Participant is a participant in
the Retirement Plan in any Plan Year, then amounts credited to his Account for
such Plan Year shall be deemed to be invested in the same investment funds
designated by the Participant for the investment of his account under the
Retirement Plan and in the same proportion designated by the Participant for the
investment of his Retirement Plan contributions. Notwithstanding the immediately
preceding sentence, the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may decide that the
Harris Stock Fund is not available under the SERP.

         (b) OTHER PARTICIPANTS. If a Participant is not eligible to participate
in the Retirement Plan, then the Participant may file an investment election
with the Committee directing the deemed investment of his Account in the
investment funds available under the Retirement Plan, except that the
Participant may not direct the investment of his Account to reflect the
performance of the Harris Stock Fund.

         (c) INVESTMENT ELECTIONS TO REMAIN IN EFFECT. A Participant's
investment election shall remain in effect until he changes it. If an investment
fund selected by a Participant is no longer offered under the SERP and the
Participant does not file a new investment election with the Committee, then the
portion of the Participant's Account previously deemed invested in such
investment fund shall be invested in the Balanced Fund, unless the Committee
designates another investment fund for such purpose.

         (d) TIMING. A Participant's Account shall be credited annually or, in
the discretion of the Committee, more frequently with amounts equal to the gains
and losses that would have been realized by the Corporation if the Account had
been invested as it is deemed to be invested.


                     ARTICLE VI - VESTING AND DISTRIBUTIONS

6.1. VESTING. Amounts credited to a Participant's Account pursuant to Section
4.1 (as adjusted for deemed gains and losses pursuant to Section 5.2) shall
become vested at the same 


                                      3
<PAGE>   4

time and to the same extent as their corresponding contributions to the
Retirement Plan. A Participant shall be 100% vested in all other amounts
credited to his Account, provided, however, that the Committee may determine the
vesting schedule for amounts credited to a Participant's Account pursuant to
Section 4.3 or 4.4.

6.2. TIME OF PAYMENT. A Participant shall commence receiving distributions from
his Account at the later of (i) his attainment of age 55 and (ii) the beginning
of the calendar year following the year in which he terminates employment with
the Corporation and its affiliates; provided that a Participant who terminates
employment prior to attaining age 55 and whose Account balance at the time of
such termination is less than $50,000 (or such other amount as may be designated
by the Committee) shall receive a single sum distribution of his Account as soon
as practicable following his termination of employment. 

6.3. FORM OF DISTRIBUTION.

         (a) A Participant may elect the form of distribution of his Account by
filing an election form with the Committee at the time and in the manner
prescribed by the Committee. A Participant may change a prior election regarding
the form of distribution by filing a new election form with the Committee at the
times and in the manner permitted by the Committee; provided that such form is
received by the Committee no later than a date within the calendar year prior to
the year in which such distribution was to be paid or commence pursuant to the
Participant's prior election.

         (b) A participant may elect to receive payment of his Account
distribution in any one of the following forms:

                  (1) a single sum;

                  (2) annual installments over a five-year period;

                  (3) annual installments over a seven-year period;

                  (4) annual installments over a ten-year period; or

                  (5) annual installments over a fifteen-year period.

         (c) A Participant who has not filed an election under Section 6.3(a)
shall receive the distribution of his Account in annual installments over ten
years.

         (d) Notwithstanding any provision of the SERP to the contrary, if a
Participant's vested interest in his Account is less than an amount determined
by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to be eligible for installment
distributions, then the Participant's vested interest in his Account shall be
paid in a single sum as soon as reasonably practicable upon entitlement to a
distribution.

                                       4

<PAGE>   5


6.4. DEATH. If a Participant shall die before the entire vested balance of his
Account is distributed, then the remaining vested balance shall be paid, in the
manner such vested balance would have been paid to the Participant, to the
beneficiary or the beneficiaries designated by the Participant on the form and
in the manner prescribed by the Committee. A Participant may revoke or change
his beneficiary designation at any time by filing a new beneficiary designation
form with the Committee. If a Participant does not designate a beneficiary under
the SERP or if no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, then the
vested balance of his Account shall be distributed to the Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries entitled to his accounts under the Retirement Plan (or who would
be so entitled if the Participant had Retirement Plan accounts).

 6.5. FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. A Participant may request a payment of all or a
portion of his vested Account balance on account of a Financial Hardship by
submitting a written request to the Committee accompanied by documentation
evidencing the Participant's Financial Hardship. The Committee shall review the
request and shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether a Financial
Hardship exists. Any payment on account of the Participant's Financial Hardship
shall be limited to an amount that the Committee, in its sole discretion,
determines is reasonably necessary to meet the hardship.

6.6. CHANGE IN CONTROL. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the
event of a Change in Control, each Participant shall become entitled to an
immediate, single sum distribution of the entire vested balance of his Account,
provided that the Participant has previously elected to receive such a
distribution by filing an election form with the Committee at the time and in
the manner prescribed by the Committee. A Participant may change his prior
election under this Section 6.6 by filing a new election form with the Committee
at the times and in the manner permitted by the Committee; provided that such
election form is received by the Committee by the earlier of (i) the calendar
year prior to the year in which such Change in Control occurs and (ii) the last
date the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines that the Participant was
not likely to be aware that a Change in Control was pending. The provisions of
this Section 6.6 may not be amended after the date of a Change in Control
without the written consent of a majority of those individuals with an Account
balance under the SERP on the date of such Change in Control.

6.7. OVERPAYMENTS OF INSTALLMENTS. In the event that a payment is made with
respect to a Participant's Account which exceeds the amount to which the
Participant is entitled, future payments shall be reduced in any manner which
the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems equitable. 

6.8. WITHHOLDING FOR TAXES. For each calendar year in which a Participant's
Compensation is reduced pursuant to the Participant's election under the SERP,
the Corporation shall withhold from the Participant's payments of compensation
for such year any taxes imposed upon the Participant pursuant to section 3121(v)
of the Code in respect to the amount by which the Participant's Compensation is
reduced. The Corporation shall have the right to deduct any federal, state or
local income, employment or other taxes required by law to be withheld with
respect to any payments to be made under the SERP, and to withhold such amounts
from any 

                                       5

<PAGE>   6

payment otherwise due the Participant (or his beneficiary).


                          ARTICLE VII -- ADMINISTRATION

7.1. AUTHORITY OF COMMITTEE. The SERP shall be administered by the Committee.
The Committee shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, have the complete
authority to interpret the SERP, to adopt rules for carrying out the purposes of
the SERP and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the
administration of the SERP. To the extent practicable, the SERP shall be
administered in a manner consistent with the administration of the Retirement
Plan. Nevertheless, any decision or interpretation of any provision of the SERP
made by the Committee shall be final and conclusive, and shall be binding on all
Participants (and their beneficiaries). A Participant who has been delegated the
authority to make decisions with respect to the SERP may not participate in any
decision that may affect his rights or obligations under this SERP, unless the
decision affects all Participants.

7.2. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY. The Committee may delegate any of its
responsibilities, powers or duties under the SERP to any person or committee.
The Committee or its delegate may employ such attorneys, agents, and advisors as
the Committee or such delegate may deem necessary or advisable to assist it in
carrying out its duties hereunder.

7.3. LIABILITY. No member of the Committee and no individual to whom the
Committee has delegated any responsibility, power or duty under the SERP shall
be liable for any action or failure to act under this SERP, except where such
action or failure to act was due to gross negligence or fraud.


                        ARTICLE VIII - GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
8.1. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. Subject to Section 6.6, the Board of Directors
of the Corporation, or the Investment Committee -- Retirement Plans thereof, may
amend or terminate the SERP at any time, provided that no such amendment or
termination shall reduce or cancel the amount credited to any Participant's
Account prior to the date of the adoption of such amendment or the date of such
termination.

8.2. ANTI-ALIENATION. A Participant's rights and interest under the SERP may
not be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent or
distribution, or as may be required under ERISA pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order. Any other purported transfer, assignment, pledge or other
encumbrance or attachment of any payments or benefits under the SERP shall not
be permitted or recognized and shall be void.

8.3. FUNDING. The Corporation may, but is not required to, establish a trust to
fund the amounts credited to Accounts under this SERP, provided that the assets
in such trust are subject to the claims of the Corporation's general creditors
in the event of insolvency. Any payments pursuant to the SERP shall be made out
of the general assets of the Corporation and 

                                       6

<PAGE>   7

Participants (and beneficiaries) shall have no interest in any fund or specific
asset of the Corporation. The rights of each Participant (and beneficiary) to
any payments under the SERP shall be solely those of any unsecured creditor of
the Corporation.

8.4. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of the SERP is found unlawful by any court
having proper jurisdiction, then such provision shall be construed by such court
to reflect most nearly the Corporation's original intent in adopting the SERP,
consistent with applicable law.

8.5. NOT A CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT. The SERP shall not constitute a contract of
employment or in any manner obligate the Corporation to continue the employment
of any employee.

8.6. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The provisions of the SERP shall bind and inure the
Corporation and its successors and assigns, as well as each Participant and
beneficiary.

8.7. CONSTRUCTION. The SERP shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Florida.









         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Harris Corporation has caused this SERP, as amended
and restated herein, to be executed in its name and on its behalf on this 5th
day of January, 1998.
