PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
THE COMPANY
Harris Corporation is an international company focused on communications
equipment for voice, data and video applications. Harris was incorporated in
Delaware in 1926 as the successor to three companies founded in the 1890's. The
principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1025 West NASA
Boulevard, Melbourne, Florida 32919, and the telephone number is (407) 727-9100.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Lanier Worldwide. In April 1999, the board of directors of Harris approved
a plan to spin-off its Lanier Worldwide, Inc. subsidiary as an independent
publicly owned company. The transaction will be effected through the
distribution of approximately 90% of the outstanding shares of common stock of
Lanier to Harris shareholders. The distribution is expected to be tax free to
Harris and its shareholders and is expected to be formally approved by the
Harris board of directors and be completed during the second quarter of fiscal
year 2000.
Lanier and its subsidiaries form one of the world's largest independent
suppliers of copiers, facsimiles and other related office automation equipment.
With over 1,600 sales and service locations in more than 100 countries, Lanier
markets these products and related services, parts and supplies to customers
both on a direct sales basis and through a worldwide network of independent
dealers. Lanier provides customers with a wide array of customized document
management solutions including black and white digital and analog copiers, color
copiers, facsimile machines, multifunction devices, dictation equipment,
computer based health care information management systems, associated parts and
supplies, and a variety of related outsourcing services, including legal support
services. Lanier's fiscal year 1999 net sales were $1,430.5 million with net
income for the year of $71.3 million.
Semiconductor Sector. In April 1999, the board of directors of Harris
approved a plan to sell the power products business of its semiconductor
business. In an effort to maximize the value to Harris of the semiconductor
operations, in June 1999, the board of directors approved the sale of the entire
semiconductor business of Harris. On June 2, 1999, Harris entered into an
agreement to sell substantially all of the semiconductor business to Intersil
Corporation, a subsidiary of Sterling Holding Company, LLC, a Citicorp Venture
Capital, Ltd. investment portfolio company. Upon consummation of the sale which
was completed on August 13, 1999, Harris received $520 million in cash, $90
million of subordinated notes, and a 10% equity interest in Intersil. Harris
also retained certain receivables. In connection with the transaction, Intersil
also assumed most of the liabilities associated with the semiconductor business.
The suppression semiconductor business, which was not purchased by Intersil, is
expected to be sold by Harris during the second quarter of fiscal year 2000.
The semiconductor business produces standard, custom and semi-custom
integrated circuits and discrete devices for analog, digital, mixed signal, and
power control and protection applications. These products are used in signal
processing, data-acquisition, and logic applications for automotive systems,
wireless communications, telecommunication line card, video and imaging systems,
multimedia, industrial equipment, personal computers and computer peripherals,
and military and aerospace systems. Fiscal 1999 net sales for the semiconductor
business were $602 million with net income for the year of $25.5 million. Harris
recorded an after-tax loss of $61.3 million in fiscal 1999 for the disposal of
the semiconductor business.
REPOSITIONING. In addition to the planned spinoff of Lanier, in April 1999,
Harris announced plans to reposition itself to become a pure communications
equipment company and to undertake an internal reorganization. The repositioning
actions, which included the sale of the semiconductor operations, also include
the elimination of the sector organization level and realignment of the
commercial and government businesses into one company with five operating
divisions, each focused on a specific communications market.
As a result of the plans to spin-off Lanier Worldwide and to sell all of
the semiconductor business, Harris' consolidated financial statements and notes
report these businesses as discontinued operations and accordingly, prior
periods have been restated. In addition, as a result of its internal
reorganization, the continuing operations of Harris are reported under two
segments: (1) the Government Communications segment, which
1
<PAGE> 4
is comprised of the operations of the former Electronic Systems Sector, and (2)
the Commercial Communications segment, which is comprised of the operations of
the former Communications Sector. Various corporate assets and corporate
overhead expenses are not assigned to the segments.
GENERAL
Harris Corporation, along with its subsidiaries (hereinafter called
"Harris" or the "Company"), is a worldwide company focused on the worldwide
market for voice, data and video communications equipment.
Harris structures its operations around five operating divisions, which
divisions have been organized on the basis of specific communications technology
and markets. For the most part, each operating division has its own marketing,
engineering, manufacturing and service organization. Harris produces most of the
products it sells, except for certain broadcast products sold by the Broadcast
Communications Division, which products are sourced from a variety of
manufacturers. Reference is made to the Note Business Segments in the Notes to
Financial Statements for further information with respect to business segments.
Total revenues in fiscal 1999 from continuing operations decreased to $1.74
billion from $1.92 billion a year earlier. Total sales in the United States
decreased 5 percent from a year earlier while international sales, which
amounted to 26 percent of the total for continuing operations decreased 19
percent. Net income for fiscal 1999 from continuing operations before an
extraordinary item decreased to $49.9 million from $66.4 million in fiscal 1998.
The markets served and principal products of the Company's business
segments are as follows:

The Government Communications Systems Division is a major supplier of
advanced-technology communications and information processing systems to the
United States Department of Defense, Federal Aviation Administration, National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation and other
federal and local government agencies, aircraft manufacturers, airports and
newspapers and publishing houses.
Sales in fiscal 1999 for this business segment decreased 14.5 percent to
$813.2 million from $951.1 million in fiscal 1998. Excluding prior year
restructuring charges and unusual contract charges in both years, operating
profit increased 10 percent. This segment contributed 47 percent of Harris'
total sales from continuing operations in fiscal 1999 and 49 percent in fiscal
1998.
The Government Communications Systems Division is a leading supplier of
air-traffic control communication systems and is also a major supplier of custom
aircraft and spaceborne communication and information processing systems, a
leading supplier of terrestrial and satellite communication systems, including
large deployable satellite antenna systems and flat panel phased array and

Specific examples of technology developed by the division include the
development of a family of wideband digital links to support the transmission of
radar, imagery, and video from reconnaissance aircraft, unmanned aerial
vehicles, and satellites and the development of a digital map that
electronically displays real-time terrain, flight paths, and target locations
for fighter helicopters. The division also has extensive expertise in
microelectronics and advanced wireless tracking technology. While classified
projects are not discussed in
5
<PAGE> 8
this report, the operating results relating to classified projects are included
in Harris' consolidated financial statements, and the business risks associated
with such projects do not differ materially from those of other projects for the
United States government.
The division is also a worldwide supplier of information-processing systems
for newspapers and publishing houses.
The segment has formed three joint ventures with the General Electric
Company. GE Harris Energy Controls Systems is a leading supplier of intelligent
energy management systems and services electric utilities. GE-Harris Railway
Electronics is a leader in communication-based electronic planning, scheduling
and control systems for railways worldwide. GE Harris Aviation Information
Solutions provides information systems and services that enable airlines to
monitor and analyze aircraft and engine performance data easier and faster,
helping to improve airline efficiency and safety. The segment also has a joint
venture with Sextant In-flight Systems to provide live television transmission
to individual seats on commercial airlines.
Most of the sales of this segment are made directly or indirectly to the
United States government under contracts or subcontracts containing standard
government contract clauses providing for redetermination of profits, if
applicable, and for termination for the convenience of the government or for
default of the contractor. These sales consist of a variety of contracts and
programs with various governmental agencies, with no single program accounting
for 10 percent or more of total Harris sales.
The backlog of unfilled orders for this segment of Harris' business was
$420 million at July 31, 1999, a substantial portion of which is expected to be
filled during the 2000 fiscal year, compared with $430 million a year earlier.
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
Net sales in fiscal 1999 of products exported from the United States or
manufactured abroad were $448.5 million or 26 percent of the Company's total
sales from continuing operations, compared with $556.4 million or 29 percent of
the Company's total sales from continuing operations in fiscal 1998 and $461.8
million or 24 percent in fiscal 1997. The Company's international sales include
both direct exports from the United States and sales from foreign subsidiaries.
Most of the international sales are derived from the Commercial Communications
segment. Direct export sales are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, whereas
sales from foreign subsidiaries are generally denominated in the local currency
of the subsidiary. Exports from the United States from continuing operations,
principally to Europe, Latin America and Asia, totaled $242.2 million or 54
percent of the international sales from continuing operations in fiscal 1999,
$320.6 million or 58 percent of the international sales from continuing
operations in fiscal 1998 and $238.5 million or 52 percent of the international
sales from continuing operations in fiscal 1997.
Foreign operations represented 12 percent of net sales from continuing
operations and 14 percent of long-lived assets from continuing operations as of
the end of fiscal 1999. Electronic products and systems are produced principally
in the United States, and international electronic revenues are derived
primarily from exports. Communication products assembly facilities are located
in Brazil, Canada, China and the United Kingdom.
International marketing activities are conducted through subsidiaries which
operate in Canada, Europe, Central and South America and Asia. Harris has also
established a new international marketing organization and several regional
sales offices. Reference is made to Exhibit 21 "Subsidiaries of the Registrant"
for further information regarding foreign subsidiaries.
Harris utilizes indirect sales channels, including dealers, distributors
and sales representatives, in the marketing and sale of some lines of products
and equipment, both domestically and internationally. These independent
representatives may buy for resale, or, in some cases, solicit orders from
commercial or governmental customers for direct sales by Harris. Prices to the
ultimate customer in many instances may be recommended or established by the
independent representative and may be on a basis which is above or below the
Company's list prices. These independent representatives generally receive a
discount from the Company's list prices and may mark-up those prices in setting
the final sales prices paid by the customer. During the 1999 fiscal year, sales
from indirect sales channels represented 16% of Harris' total sales and 58% of
Harris' international sales. Fiscal year 1999 orders came from a large number of
foreign countries, no one of which accounted for five percent of the Company's
total orders.
6
<PAGE> 9
Certain of Harris' exports are paid for by letters of credit, with the
balance carried either on an open account or installment note basis. Advance
payments, progress payments or other similar payments received prior to or upon
shipment often cover most of the related costs incurred. Performance guarantees
by the Company are generally required on significant foreign government
contracts. In order to stay competitive in international markets, the Company
also enters into recourse financing in order to facilitate sales to certain
customers.
The particular economic, social and political conditions for business
conducted outside the United States differ from those encountered by domestic
business. Management believes that the composite business risk for the
international business as a whole is somewhat greater than that faced by its
domestic operations as a whole. International business may subject the Company
to risks such as:
- the laws and regulations of foreign governments relating to investments
and operations,
- currency exchange controls, fluctuation of currency and currency
revaluations,
- taxes,
- uncertainties as to local laws and enforcement of contract and
intellectual property rights and occasional requirements for onerous
contract clauses, and
- rapid changes in governments and economic and political policies,
political or civil unrest or the threat of international boycotts and
United States anti-boycott legislation.
Nevertheless, in the opinion of management, these risks are offset by the
diversification of the international business and the protection provided by
letters of credit and advance payments.
Except for inconsequential matters involving road and utility
rights-of-way, Harris has never been subjected to threat of government
expropriation, either within the United States or abroad.
Financial information regarding the Company's domestic and international
operations is contained in the Note Business Segments in the Notes to Financial
Statements.
COMPETITION
Harris operates in highly competitive businesses that are sensitive to
technological advances. Although successful product and systems development is
not necessarily dependent on substantial financial resources, some of Harris'
competitors in each of its businesses are larger and can maintain higher levels
of expenditures for research and development than Harris. Harris' competitors in
the Commercial Communications segment include large multinational communications
companies as well as smaller companies with developing technology expertise.
Harris' competition for U.S. government contracts typically are large,
technically competent firms with substantial assets, some of whom have become
considerably larger in recent years. Harris concentrates in each of its
businesses on the market opportunities which management believes are compatible
with its resources, overall technological capabilities and objectives. Principal
competitive factors in these businesses are cost-effectiveness, product quality
and reliability, service and ability to meet delivery schedules as well as, in
international areas, the effectiveness of dealers.
PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS
Sales to the U.S. government, which is the Company's only customer
accounting for 10 percent or more of total sales, were 42 percent, 47 percent
and 43 percent of the Company's total sales from continuing operations in fiscal
1999, 1998 and 1997 respectively. All U.S. government contracts are terminable
at the convenience of the U.S. government, as well as for default. Under
contracts terminable at the convenience of the U.S. government, a contractor is
entitled to receive payments for its allowable costs and, in general, the
proportionate share of fees or earnings for the work done. Contracts which are
terminable for default generally provide that the U.S. government only pays for
the work it has accepted and may require the contractor to pay for the
incremental cost of reprocurement and may hold the contractor liable for
damages.
Companies engaged in supplying goods and services to the U.S. government
are dependent on congressional appropriations and administrative allotment of
funds, and may be affected by changes in U.S.
7
<PAGE> 10
government policies resulting from various military and political developments.
In many cases there is also additional uncertainty relating to the complexity of
designs, necessity for design improvements, and difficulty in forecasting costs
and schedules when bidding on developmental and highly sophisticated technical
work. For further discussion of risks relating to U.S. government contracts see
"Legal Proceedings." It is not expected that Department of Defense budget
cutbacks will have a material effect on the profitability of Harris in fiscal
2000.
BACKLOG
Harris' backlog of unfilled orders from continuing operations was
approximately:
- $786 million at July 31, 1999,
- $741 million at July 31, 1998, and
- $821 million at July 25, 1997.
Substantially all of the backlog orders at July 31, 1999 are expected to be
filled during fiscal 2000. The determination of backlog involves substantial
estimating, particularly with respect to customer requirements contracts and
long-term contracts of a cost-reimbursement or incentive nature.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING
Research and engineering expenditures by Harris for its continuing
operations totaled approximately:
- $500 million in fiscal 1999,
- $591 million in fiscal 1998, and
- $582 million in fiscal 1997.
Company-sponsored research and product development costs for its continuing
operations were approximately:
- $92 million in fiscal 1999,
- $94 million in fiscal 1998, and
- $86 million in fiscal 1997.
The balance was funded by government and commercial customers.
Company-funded research is directed to the development of new products and to
building technological capability in selected communications and electronic
systems areas. Government-funded research helps strengthen and broaden the
technical capabilities of Harris in its areas of interest. Almost all of the
operating divisions maintain their own engineering and new product development
departments, with scientific assistance provided by advanced-technology
departments.
PATENTS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Harris holds numerous patents which it considers, in the aggregate, to
constitute an important asset. However, Harris does not consider its business or
any business segment to be materially dependent upon any single patent or any
group of related patents. Harris is engaged in a pro-active patent licensing
program, especially in the Commercial Communications segment, and has entered
into a number of unilateral license and cross-license agreements, many of which
generate significant royalty income. Although existing license agreements have
generated income in past years and will do so in the future, there can be no
assurances Harris will enter into additional income producing license
agreements. With regard to patents relating to the Government Communications
segment, however, the U.S. government often has an irrevocable, non-exclusive,
royalty-free license, pursuant to which the government may use or authorize
others to use the inventions covered by such patents. Pursuant to similar
arrangements, the government may consent to Harris' use of inventions covered by
patents owned by other persons.
Numerous trademarks used on or in connection with Harris products are
considered to be a valuable asset of Harris.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER REGULATIONS
The manufacturing facilities of Harris, in common with those of industry
generally, are subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to protect the
environment, particularly in regard to wastes and emissions. Harris believes
that it has materially complied with these requirements, and such compliance has
not had a material adverse effect on its business or financial condition.
Expenditures to protect the environment and to comply with current environmental
laws and regulations over the next several years are not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's competitive or financial position. If future
laws and regulations contain more stringent requirements than presently
anticipated, actual expenditures may be higher than the Company's present
estimates of those expenditures.
Waste treatment facilities and pollution control equipment have been
installed to satisfy legal requirements and to achieve the Company's waste
minimization and prevention goals. An estimated $0.3 million was spent on
environmental capital projects in fiscal 1999 and $1.7 million in fiscal 1998. A
significant portion of these expenditures related to discontinued operations,
however, the Company has retained certain environmental liabilities with respect
to those discontinued operations. The Company currently forecasts authorization
for environmental-related capital projects totaling $0.1 million in fiscal 2000.
These amounts may increase in future years.
Additional information regarding environmental matters is set forth in
"Legal Proceedings" and in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."
RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES
Because of the diversity of the Company's products and services, as well as
the wide geographic dispersion of its facilities, the Company uses numerous
sources for the wide array of raw materials needed for its operations and for
products that it sells. The Company is dependent upon suppliers and
subcontractors for a large number of components and the ability of its suppliers
and subcontractors to meet performance and quality specifications and delivery
schedules. In some instances, the Company is dependent upon one or a few
sources, either because of the specialized nature of a particular item or
because of domestic preference requirements pursuant to which it operates on a
given project. To date, the Company has not been materially adversely affected
by the inability to obtain raw materials or products.
EMPLOYEES
As of July 2, 1999, Harris' continuing operations had approximately 10,500
employees, of whom approximately 9,100 were located in the United States. In
general, Harris believes that its relations with its employees are good. During
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, Harris determined that in connection with its
repositioning it would reduce its workforce by approximately 700 to 800
positions.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Harris' continuing operations operate approximately 31 plants and
approximately 60 offices in the United States, Canada, Europe, Central and South
America and Asia, consisting of about 4.3 million square feet of manufacturing,
administrative, warehousing, engineering and office facilities that are owned
and about 1.7 million square feet of sales, office and manufacturing facilities
that are leased. The leased facilities are for the most part occupied under
leases for terms ranging from one year to 30 years, a majority of which can be
terminated or renewed at no longer than five-year intervals at Harris' option.
The Company's corporate headquarters are owned and located in Melbourne,
Florida. The location of the principal manufacturing plants of the continuing
operations owned by the Company in the United States, and the business segments
which utilize such plants are as follows: Government Communications
segment -- Malabar, Melbourne and Palm Bay, Florida; and Commercial
Communications segment -- Camarillo, Novato and Redwood Shores, California;
Quincy, Illinois; Littleton, Massachusetts; Cincinnati, Ohio; San Antonio,
Texas; and Rochester, New York. The Commercial Communications segment also has
principal manufacturing plants which are owned by Harris and located outside of
the United States including plants in: Sao Paulo, Brazil; Calgary and Montreal,
Canada; Shenzhen Guangdong, China; and Cambridge, U.K.
9
<PAGE> 12
In the opinion of management, Harris' facilities are suitable and adequate
for their intended purposes and have capacities adequate for current and
projected needs. Unused or under-utilized facilities are not considered
significant.
As of July 2, 1999, the following facilities were in productive use by
Harris in its continuing operations:

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, as a normal incident of the nature and kind of business
in which the Company is engaged, various claims or charges are asserted and
litigation commenced against the Company arising from or related to: product
liability; patents, trademarks, or trade secrets; labor and employee disputes;
breach of warranty; antitrust; distribution; or contractual relations. Claimed
amounts may be substantial but may not bear any reasonable relationship to the
merits of the claim or the extent of any real risk of court awards. While it is
not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, in the
opinion of management, final judgments, if any, which might be rendered against
the Company in existing litigation are reserved against, covered by insurance or
would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or the
business of the Company as a whole.
Government contractors, such as the Company, engaged in supplying goods and
services to the U.S. government and its various agencies are dependent on
congressional appropriations and administrative allotment of funds and may be
affected by changes in U.S. government policies. U.S. government contracts
typically involve long lead times for design and development and are subject to
significant changes in contract scheduling and may be unilaterally modified or
cancelled by the government. Often these contracts call for successful design
and production of complex and technologically advanced products or systems. The
Company may participate in supplying goods and services to the U.S. government
as either a prime contractor or a subcontractor to a prime contractor. Disputes
may arise between the prime contractor and the government and the prime
contractor and its subcontractor and may result in litigation between the
contracting parties.
From time to time, the Company, either individually or in conjunction with
other U.S. government contractors, may be the subject of U.S. government
investigations for alleged criminal or civil violations of procurement or other
federal laws. These investigations may be conducted without the Company's
knowledge. The Company is currently cooperating with certain government
representatives in investigations relating to potential violations of the
federal procurement laws. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of such
investigations or to estimate the amounts of resulting claims or other actions
that could be instituted against it, its officers or employees. Under present
government procurement regulations, if indicted or adjudged in violation of
procurement or other federal civil laws a contractor, such as the Company, or
one or more of its operating divisions, could be suspended or debarred from
eligibility for awards of new government contracts for up to three years. In
addition, a government contractor's foreign export control licenses could be
suspended or revoked. Management does not believe that the outcome of these
current disputes or investigations will have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or the business of the Company as a whole.
In addition, the Company is subject to numerous federal and state
environmental laws and regulatory requirements and is involved from time to time
in investigations or litigation of various potential environmental issues
concerning ongoing activities at its facilities or remediation as a result of
past activities. The Company from time to time receives notices from the United
States Environmental Protection Agency and equivalent state environmental
agencies that it is a potentially responsible party ("PRP") under the
Comprehensive
10
<PAGE> 13
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as the
"Superfund Act") and/or equivalent state legislation. Such notices assert
potential liability for cleanup costs at various sites, which include
Company-owned sites and non-Company owned treatment or disposal sites, allegedly
containing hazardous substances attributable to the Company from past
operations. The Company has been named as a PRP at nine such sites, excluding
sites as to which the Company's records disclose no involvement or as to which
the Company's liability has been finally determined. While it is not feasible to
predict the outcome of many of these proceedings, in the opinion of management,
any payments the Company may be required to make as a result of currently
existing claims will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition or the business of the Company as a whole.
Additional information regarding environmental matters is set forth in the
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
Harris Corporation common stock, par value $1 per share, is listed and
traded on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE"), under the ticker symbol
"HRS," and is also traded on the Boston, Chicago, Pacific and Philadelphia Stock
Exchanges and through the Intermarket Trading System. As of August 20, 1999,
there were approximately 10,310 holders of record of the common stock.
The high and low sales prices as reported in the consolidated transaction
reporting system and the dividends paid on the common stock for each quarterly
period in the last two fiscal years are reported below:

</TABLE>
On August 20, 1999, the last sale price of the common stock as reported in
the consolidated transaction reporting system was $27.75 per share.
On August 28, 1999, the board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24
per share which will be paid on September 24, 1999 to holders of record on
September 10, 1999. The Company has paid cash dividends every year since 1941
and currently expects that cash dividends will continue to be paid in the
future. However, following the spin-off of Lanier, Harris intends to pay
quarterly dividends at an initial annual rate expected to be substantially below
Harris' current annual dividend rate of $0.96 per share. No determination has
been made by Harris' board of directors with respect to the initial dividend
rate that will be paid following the spin-off. The declaration of dividends and
the amount thereof will depend on a number of factors, including Harris'
financial condition, capital requirements, results of operations, future
business prospects and other factors the board of directors may deem relevant.
On August 29, 1998, the board authorized the Company to repurchase up to
1,000,000 shares of its common stock periodically in the open-market. During
fiscal year 1999, the Company repurchased 430,200 shares in open-market
transactions.
On August 23, 1997, the board of directors of Harris approved a two-for-one
stock split to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 4,
1997. All share information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K has been restated
to reflect the stock split.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis provides information that management
believes is useful in understanding the Company's operating results, cash flows,
and financial condition. The discussion is based on the Company's continuing
operations and should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to, our Consolidated Financial Statements and related
notes appearing elsewhere in this report. Except for the historical information
contained here, the discussions in this document contain forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Harris' actual results could
differ materially from those discussed here. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed
under "Forward-Looking Statements" below.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In April 1999, Harris announced that it intends to spin off its Lanier
Worldwide, Inc. subsidiary as an independent, publicly owned company.
Additionally, in April 1999, Harris announced a plan to sell its semiconductor
power business and, in an effort to maximize the value to the Company of the
semiconductor operations, in June 1999, the board approved the sale of the
entire semiconductor business. The sale of the semiconductor business was
completed on August 13, 1999. As a result of these actions, the Lanier and
semiconductor businesses are presented as discontinued operations within the
financial statements and notes for all periods presented. Continuing operations
are reported under two segments: the Government Communications segment, which is
comprised of the operations of the former Electronic Systems Sector, and the
Commercial Communications segment, which is comprised of the operations of the
former Communications Sector. The following discussion is on a continuing
operations basis and reflects the new segment reporting. In addition, the
operating income of these new segments no longer include equity income,
royalties, and gains/losses from the sale of securities and other investments
which are now included in "Other income." Headquarters expense that was
partially allocated to the operating income of these segments is now reflected
entirely in "Headquarters expense."
FISCAL 1999 COMPARED WITH 1998
Net Sales and Operating Income. Revenue from product sales and services
decreased 9.4 percent to $1.74 billion in fiscal 1999, from $1.92 billion in
fiscal 1998. Income from continuing operations before extraordinary item was
$49.9 million, down 24.8 percent from $66.4 million in fiscal 1998. Income from
continuing operations before extraordinary item in fiscal 1999 included a
restructuring charge for employee reductions of $5.1 million, a one-time $20.6
million charge for litigation costs for the settlement of a patent litigation
relating to an older product no longer manufactured by the Company, and an $18.0
million charge for settlement of claims and unrecoverable contract development
costs on two contracts. Prior-year income from continuing operations includes
$16.1 million of restructuring expenses and a $12.0 million provision for costs
associated with a Malaysian contract. Excluding all of the above items for both
years, income from continuing operations declined approximately 8 percent in
fiscal 1999.
Net sales for the Government Communications segment in fiscal 1999 were
$813.2 million, 14.5 percent lower than the prior year, while operating profit
increased 18.7 percent to $52.1 million. Excluding prior-year restructuring
charges and unusual long-term contract charges in both years ($18.0 million in
fiscal 1999 and $19.8 million in fiscal 1998), operating profit increased 10.0
percent in fiscal 1999. Lower sales in the segment's information systems and
aerospace systems product lines more than offset growth in the communications
systems product line. Lower sales in information systems and aerospace systems
was primarily attributable to declining order backlog. The increase in operating
profit was related to final settlement of prior-year's overhead rates and to
increased gross margins resulting from a more favorable contract mix.
Commercial Communications segment sales decreased 4.5 percent to $930.3
million in fiscal 1999, from $973.7 million in fiscal 1998. Excluding a fiscal
1999 one-time $20.6 million charge for litigation costs and a fiscal 1998
restructuring charge of $8.3 million, operating profit declined 19.9 percent to
$54.7 million from $68.3 million in fiscal 1998. Significantly lower sales and
gross margins in the segment's microwave radio and
17
<PAGE> 20
digital switch product lines offset modest improvement in sales and earnings for
the segment's broadcast equipment product line. Lower sales in microwave product
lines resulted primarily from weak international markets and lower than expected
PCS growth in the North American market. As a result, overcapacity in the
industry caused severe pricing pressures and margin erosion. There also was a
significant reduction in foreign sales for digital switch products. Sales for
the segment's radio communication product line were marginally higher than the
prior year while operating profit was relatively unchanged.
Cost of Sales and Services. Cost of sales and services was $1.28 billion in
fiscal 1999. Costs as a percentage of sales decreased from 75.0 percent in
fiscal 1998 to 73.3 percent in fiscal 1999. The decrease was primarily
attributable to improved gross margins in the Company's Government
Communications segment, which were partially offset by the decline in the gross
margins in the Commercial Communications segment.
Operating Expenses. Engineering, selling, and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales were 22 percent in 1999, up slightly from 21.9 percent in
the prior year. Higher expenditures for marketing and Company-sponsored research
and development were offset by lower administrative expenses for the year.
Headquarters expense, which is included in administrative expenses, was $28.4
million lower than fiscal 1998 due to lower expenses associated with employee
benefit plans and a continued emphasis on cost controls.
Other Income and Expense. Interest expense was lower in fiscal 1999 due to
a lower level of borrowing from continuing operations in fiscal 1999 compared to
fiscal 1998. Interest expense is allocated to the Company's discontinued
operations based upon the capital employed by the business. Interest expense
before allocations to discontinued operations increased from $73.2 million to
$84.0 million due to higher borrowings and higher interest rates.
"Other income" was $38.3 million lower in fiscal 1999 due primarily to
lower amounts of gains from the sale of investment securities and lower royalty
income compared to fiscal 1998.
The provision for income taxes from continuing operations as a percentage
of income before income taxes was 36.0 percent in both fiscal 1999 and fiscal
1998. The increase from the statutory U.S. income tax rate of 35.0 percent in
both years was due primarily to provisions for state income taxes.
Selected financial information relating to geographical regions and export
sales is set forth in the note Business Segments in the Notes to Financial
Statements.
FISCAL 1998 COMPARED WITH 1997
Net Sales and Operating Income. Sales in fiscal 1998 decreased 1.2 percent
while income from continuing operations increased 3.3 percent. Income from
continuing operations for fiscal 1998 included fourth quarter restructuring and
other one-time charges of $28.1 million ($18.1 million after tax). Excluding
these charges, income from continuing operations increased 31.4 percent to $84.5
million. Restructuring charges of $16.1 million ($10.1 million after tax) were
incurred for reduction of personnel and write-off of assets related to the exit
of several product lines. These charges are discussed below in more detail.
Fiscal 1998 income also included a provision of $12.0 million ($8.0 million
after tax) for costs related to a contract of the Government Communications
segment with an agency of the Malaysian government. This provision related to
additional contract costs incurred in the fourth quarter and the effect of the
Malaysian monetary crisis. The Malaysian monetary crisis was primarily driven by
a high level of domestic indebtedness. The Malaysian government's solution was
to cut expenditures, thus putting pressure on all government agencies to
constrain their spending. The crisis, which negatively impacted the Company's
contract in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, culminated in the Malaysian
government's decision to impose capital controls in September 1998 which further
disrupted Asian financial markets. At that time, the official exchange rate to
the dollar was fixed at 3.8 Ringgits and foreign exchange trade was severely
limited. The Malaysian government's intent was to prevent capital from flowing
out of the country. Since the agency was required to constrict expenditures due
to the economic crisis, the resulting environment makes contract negotiations
difficult. Segment results, as discussed below, exclude the fiscal 1998
restructuring and other one-time charges.
Government Communications segment net sales were $951.1 million, 4.6
percent lower than fiscal 1997, while operating profit before restructuring and
other one-time charges declined 24.8 percent to $63.7 million.
18
<PAGE> 21
Reduced sales in the segment's air traffic control and aerospace systems
businesses more than offset growth in the segment's information systems
business.
Commercial Communications segment sales increased 2.3 percent to $973.7
million in fiscal 1998, while operating profit before restructuring expenses
declined by 7.3 percent to $68.3 million from $73.7 million in fiscal 1997.
Significant sales and earnings improvement in the segment's digital switch and
telephone test equipment businesses helped offset the impact of substantially
lower earnings in the segment's microwave radio business, due to the slowdown in
the PCS market. Sales of the segment's broadcast equipment products were
slightly ahead of fiscal 1997 while operating profit was relatively unchanged.
Operating profit for the segment's radio communications products was slightly
ahead of the prior year on flat sales. Segment earnings also benefited from
substantially higher gains from the sale of investment securities and higher
royalty income.
Cost of Sales and Services. Cost of sales and services as a percentage of
sales was 75.0 percent in both fiscal 1998 and 1997. Cost of product sales and
services in fiscal 1998 includes a write-down of $15.0 million for inventory
relating to product lines that were exited and $12.0 million for cost associated
with the Malaysian contract. Improved operating margins in the Company's
Commercial Communications segment offset lower margins in the Government
Communications segment.
Operating Expenses. Engineering, selling, and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales increased from 20.5 percent in fiscal 1997 to 21.9 percent
in fiscal 1998. Higher marketing expense and an increase in company-sponsored
research and development resulted in the increased operating expense ratio.
Headquarters expense, which is included in administrative expenses, was $11.0
million lower than fiscal 1997 due primarily to lower employee benefit plan
expenses.
Other Income and Expenses. Interest expense was lower in fiscal 1998 due to
a lower level of borrowings from continued operations in fiscal 1998 compared to
fiscal 1997. Interest expense is allocated to the Company's discontinued
operations based upon the capital employed by the business. Interest expense
before allocations to discontinued operations increased $13.3 million due to
higher average borrowings and a lower amount of interest capitalized on new
construction projects.
"Other income" was $26.8 million higher in fiscal 1998 due to gains
resulting from the sale of investment securities, higher royalty income, and
higher interest income.
The provision for income taxes from continuing operations was 36.0 percent
of income before income taxes in fiscal 1998 and 35.2 percent in fiscal 1997.
The increase from the statutory U.S. income tax rate of 35.0 percent in both
years was due primarily to state income taxes.
RESTRUCTURING
In fiscal 1999, the Company announced the pending sale of its semiconductor
business and the intended spin-off of its Lanier Worldwide subsidiary. These
businesses represent approximately half of the Company's fiscal 1998 revenues.
To properly align the Company's administrative and support functions to the
remaining businesses, management announced a reduction in workforce of 738
employees, for which a restructuring charge of $5.1 million was recorded ($3.3
million after tax). The Company plans to substantially complete these reductions
during the first half of fiscal year 2000. Employee severance benefits are
expected to be paid ratably over the fiscal year from existing cash sources.
Labor cost savings are expected to be approximately $29 million per full fiscal
year, most of which should be realized in fiscal 2000. These savings will be
partially offset by other expenditures (e.g., consulting fees) relating to the
Company's repositioning efforts.
In fiscal 1998, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $16.1 million
($10.1 million after tax) for the reduction of personnel and the write-off of
assets related to the exit of several product lines. Components of the
restructuring charge include $3.8 million for workforce reductions and $12.3
million for costs associated with the exit of product lines.
Product line exit costs include $9.0 million for the write-off of
capitalized software, $1.0 million for equipment write-offs, and $2.3 million
for other exit costs. Product line exit costs are primarily noncash charges.
Anticipated cost savings from reduced depreciation and amortization will be
approximately $3.0 million in fiscal 1999 through 2001.
19
<PAGE> 22
Product line exits include analog base stations, wirefree communication
devices, and transportation tracking systems. The Company discontinued these
businesses in fiscal 1999. Manufacturing assets associated with these businesses
were not significant and were redeployed to other product lines.
Sales from exited product lines were $13.4 million in 1998 and $23.1
million in 1997. Operating profit from these product lines was not material.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash Position. At July 2, 1999, cash and cash equivalents totaled $86
million, a decrease from $102 million at July 3, 1998. Marketable securities
were $16 million at July 2, 1999.
Cash Flows. Cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 1999 was $253
million, down from $445 million in the prior year due to decreased income from
discontinued operations (net of items not affecting cash) and payments of income
taxes. Partially offsetting this decrease in operating cash flow was positive
cash flow from other working capital accounts. Net cash used in investing
activities in fiscal 1999 was $27 million, which was $385 million lower than
fiscal 1998 primarily due to a decrease of cash used for discontinued
operations. Cash used for financing activities was $244 million, which was
significantly higher than fiscal 1998 due to payments on borrowings.
Receivables, Unbilled Costs, and Inventories. Receivables amounted to $412
million at July 2, 1999, an increase of $65 million from July 3, 1998. Unbilled
costs and inventories decreased $73 million from the prior year to $390 million.
This decrease reflects a substantial reduction in unbilled costs within the
Government Communications segment.
Borrowing Arrangements. At July 2, the Company had available $750 million
syndicated credit facilities. Under these agreements $404.2 million was
outstanding at July 2, 1999. The Company also has available $77.3 million in
open bank credit lines, of which $57.8 million was available July 2, 1999. Some
of these syndicated credit facilities were repaid in the first quarter of fiscal
2000 from proceeds of the sale of the semiconductor business.
Capitalization. At July 2, 1999, debt totaled $839 million, representing
34.5 percent of total capitalization (defined as the sum of total debt plus
shareholders' equity). A year earlier, debt of $995 million was 37.8 percent of
total capitalization. Year-end long-term debt included $350 million of
debentures, $163 million of notes payable to banks, and $2 million of other
long-term debt. In fiscal 1999, the Company retired $150 million of publicly
traded debentures and prepaid about $96 million of insurance syndicate debt.
In 1999, the Company issued 222,307 shares of common stock to employees
under the terms of the Company's stock purchase, option, and incentive plans.
The Company debt is currently rated "A" (or its equivalent) by the debt
rating services; however, the Company expects that, after the disposition of
discontinued operations, debt ratings will be lowered. The Company expects to
maintain operating ratios, fixed charge coverage ratios, and balance sheet
ratios sufficient for retention of its expected new lower debt ratings.
Cash received from the sale of the discontinued semiconductor business is
expected to be used to reduce indebtedness and for other general corporate
purposes including acquisitions and repurchases of the Company's common stock.
The Company also anticipates a significant reduction in total debt as a result
of the spin-off of the Lanier Worldwide business. Cash received in the spin-off
also will be used for acquisitions, repurchases of stock, tax payments that will
exceed income tax expense in fiscal 2000, and for general corporate purposes.
Retirement Plans. Retirement benefits for substantially all of the
Company's employees are provided primarily through a retirement plan having
profit-sharing and savings elements. The Company also provides limited
health-care benefits to retirees who have 10 or more years of service. All
obligations under the Company's retirement plans have been fully funded by the
Company's contributions, the provision for which totaled $43.0 million during
fiscal 1999.
20
<PAGE> 23
Deferred Income Taxes. The liability for non-current deferred income taxes
was $47 million at July 2, 1999, unchanged from a year earlier.
Impact of Foreign Exchange. Approximately 50 percent of the Company's
international business is transacted in local currency environments. The impact
of translating the assets and liabilities of these operations to U.S. dollars is
included as a component of shareholders' equity. At July 2, 1999, the cumulative
translation adjustment reduced shareholders' equity by $12 million compared to a
reduction of $10 million at July 3, 1998.
The Company utilizes foreign currency hedging instruments to minimize the
currency risk of international transactions. Gains and losses resulting from
currency rate fluctuations did not have a material effect on the Company's
results in 1999, 1998, or 1997.
Impact of Inflation. To the extent feasible, the Company has consistently
followed the practice of adjusting its prices to reflect the impact of inflation
on wages and salaries for employees and the cost of purchased materials and
services.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures were $27 million lower in fiscal
1999 due to decreased expenditures at the headquarters, where prior year
expenditures included the purchase of an aircraft.
MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company, in the normal course of doing business, is exposed to the
risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates, fluctuations in the
market value of its marketable equity securities available for sale, and changes
in the interest rates. The Company employs established policies and procedures
governing the use of financial instruments to manage its exposure to such risks.
The Company uses foreign exchange contracts and options to hedge both
balance sheet and off-balance sheet foreign currency commitments. Specifically,
these foreign exchange contracts offset foreign currency denominated inventory
and purchase commitments from suppliers, and accounts receivable from, and
future committed sales to customers, and intercompany loans. Management believes
the use of foreign currency financial instruments should reduce the risks that
arise from doing business in international markets. Contracts are generally one
year or less. At July 2, 1999, the Company had open foreign exchange contracts
with a notional amount of $37 million, of which $8 million was to hedge
off-balance sheet commitments. At July 3, 1998, the Company had open foreign
exchange contracts with a notional amount of $27 million, of which $22 million
was to hedge off-balance sheet commitments. Additionally, for the fiscal year
ended July 2, 1999, the Company purchased and sold $366 million of foreign
exchange forward and option contracts, compared to $257 million for the prior
year. Reference is made to the note Financial Instruments in the Notes to
Financial Statements for further information with respect to commitments to buy
or sell foreign currencies. The Company's hedging activities provide only
limited protection against currency exchange risks. Factors that could impact
the effectiveness of the Company's hedging programs 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
the Company's foreign currency derivatives held July 2, 1999, would have an
impact of approximately $3.5 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 the Company's foreign denominated assets,
liabilities, and firm commitments.
The Company also maintains a portfolio of marketable equity securities
available for sale. These investments result from the funding of start-up
companies that have technology or products that are of interest to the Company.
The fair market value of these securities at July 2, 1999, was $16 million,
compared to $30 million in the prior year. This reduction was due to a decrease
in these securities' quoted market price and the Company's partial liquidation
of these investments. The corresponding unrealized gain is included as a
component of shareholders' equity. These investments have historically had
higher volatility than most market indices. A 10 percent adverse change in the
quoted market price of marketable equity securities would have an impact of
approximately $1.6 million on the fair market value of these securities.
21
<PAGE> 24
The Company utilizes a balanced mix of debt maturities along with both
fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to manage its exposure to changes in interest
rates. The Company does not expect changes in interest rates to have a material
effect on income or cash flows in fiscal 2000, although there can be no
assurances that interest rates will not significantly change.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Harris is actively engaged in complying with environmental protection laws.
In addition to ongoing internal compliance programs, an estimated $0.3 million
was spent on environmental capital projects in fiscal 1999 and $1.7 million in
fiscal 1998. The Company estimates that it will authorize $0.1 million in fiscal
2000 for environmental-related capital projects. Under the Superfund Act or
similar state environmental laws, the Company also has potential liability at
various waste sites designated for clean-up. The Company is named as a PRP at
nine such sites where future liabilities could exist. These sites include four
Company owned sites and five non-Company owned treatment or disposal sites,
allegedly containing hazardous substances attributable to the Company from past
operations. The Company routinely assesses its contingencies, obligations, and
commitments to clean up and monitor sites in light of in-depth studies, analysis
by environmental experts, and legal reviews. At the four Company owned sites,
the Company is involved primarily in monitoring and remediation programs that
have been implemented in cooperation with various environmental agencies. At the
other sites, the Company is involved as one of numerous PRPs. In ascertaining
environmental exposures, management must assess the extent of contamination, the
nature of remedial actions, continually evolving governmental standards, and the
number, participation level and financial viability of other PRPs and other
similar variables. Based upon internal and third-party studies, as well as the
remediation and monitoring expense history at the four Company owned sites, the
number and solvency of PRPs at the other sites and an assessment of other
relevant factors, the Company has estimated that its "undiscounted" liability
under the Superfund Act and other environmental statues and regulations for
identified sites, using a 6 percent discount rate, is approximately $5.1
million. The Company has accrued these discounted liabilities. The expected
aggregate undiscounted amount that will be incurred over the next 20 to 30 years
(depending on the number of years for each site) is approximately $9.3 million.
The expected payments for each of the next five years are approximately $0.4
million per year; the aggregate amount thereafter is approximately $7.3 million.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The year 2000 statements set forth below are designated as "Year 2000
Readiness Disclosures" pursuant to the Year 2000 Information and Readiness
Disclosure Act.
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.
With regard to the Year 2000 problem, 234 project initiatives of varying
magnitudes have been identified throughout the Company and its continuing
businesses. These initiatives relate to four basic aspects of the Company and
its business operations: (1) internal information technology systems, including
sales order processing, contract management, financial systems, and service
management; (2) internal non-information technology systems, including office
equipment and test equipment; (3) products and services; and (4) material
third-party relationships. Each project has been assigned a leader and
prioritized based on the size of the task and the perceived business risk. A
steering team comprised of senior management in key functional areas including
accounting, finance, legal, quality and new processes, and information
management, has been established to monitor and oversee the progress of each
project. Most of these projects have been completed, including projects with the
greatest complexity and impact.
Internal Information Technology Systems. The Company is in the process of
replacing or outsourcing many of its time-sensitive software systems and has
software programs for reprogramming other time-sensitive software and equipment.
Internal Non-Information Technology Systems. The Company believes that a
limited number of its non-information technology systems, such as office
equipment and machinery, and date-sensitive software and
22
<PAGE> 25
embedded microprocessors may be affected. The Company believes that the exposure
related to non-information technology is minimal and disruption of any of these
systems will not materially inhibit the Company's ability to conduct business
operations.
Products. 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 has Year 2000 exposure in its operating
systems and business systems including engineering, manufacturing, order
fulfillment, program management, financial, and administrative functions. The
greatest potential risk from the Year 2000 issue could be the Company's
inability to meet commitment dates on delivery of products. The Company has
focused the majority of its efforts and dedicated resources to address this
issue. In addition, the Company believes that a limited number of
non-information technology systems, such as manufacturing machinery, equipment,
and test equipment with date-sensitive software and embedded microprocessors,
may be affected and evaluation and remediation are underway.
Material Third-Party Relationships. The Company also has initiated
communications with significant suppliers, customers, and other relevant third
parties to identify and minimize disruptions to operations and to assist in
resolving Year 2000 issues. However, there can be no certainty that the systems
and products of companies on which the Company relies will not have an adverse
effect on the Company's operations.
The Company believes it is diligently addressing the Year 2000 issues and
will satisfactorily resolve significant Year 2000 problems. Final remediation
action is approaching closure on certain secondary projects and is scheduled for
completion during the first half of fiscal 2000. Although all projects are
scheduled for near-term completion, general and specific contingency plans are
being developed to mitigate risks. The estimated cost incurred for resolving
Year 2000 issues was approximately $20 million for continuing businesses. These
costs were generally not incremental to existing information technology budgets.
The largest portion of this expenditure was used to replace existing software
and hardware. Estimates of Year 2000 related costs are based on numerous
assumptions, and there is no certainty that estimates will be achieved. Actual
costs could be materially greater than 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 timely identify
and correct all relevant computer programs in a timely manner, and similar
uncertainties.
The Company is working to identify and analyze the most likely worst-case
scenarios, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
ability to provide products and services to its customers. These possible
scenarios include the failure of water and power supplies, the failure of
communications and financial systems, major transportation disruptions, and lack
of Year 2000 readiness of third-party vendors and customers. The Company
continues to develop contingency plans to address potential Year 2000 problems
relating to the infrastructure and the Company's business partners. These plans
are expected to be completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Despite
such efforts, an infrastructure problem or combination of the above-mentioned
Year 2000 problems not within the Company's control could have a material
adverse impact on the Company's business and its results of operations.
EURO CONVERSION
On January 1, 1999, certain member nations of the EMU adopted a common
currency, the Euro. For a three-year transition period, both the Euro and
individual participants' currencies will remain in circulation. After January 1,
2002, the Euro will be the sole legal tender for EMU countries. The adoption of
the Euro affects a multitude of financial systems and business applications as
the commerce of these nations will be transacted in the Euro and the existing
national currency. For fiscal year 1999, approximately 2 percent of the
Company's revenues were derived from EMU countries.
The Company is currently addressing Euro-related issues and their impact on
information systems, currency exchange rate risk, taxation, contracts,
competition, and pricing. For the fiscal year ended July 2, 1999, the Company
did not experience an adverse impact or material expense related to the adoption
of the Euro. All costs associated with the adoption of the Euro have been
expensed by the Company as incurred. The Company expects to complete the
Euro-related systems conversion during the quarter ending October 1, 1999.
23
<PAGE> 26
OUTLOOK
With focus shifting to a pure communication business, the Company believes
that its fourth quarter repositioning actions will result in both revenue and
earnings growth in fiscal 2000. These actions include both the reduction of
administrative cost and the realignment of the Company's continuing operations.
Excluding fiscal 1999 unusual charges, the Company expects revenue and operating
profit to be lower in the first half of the year due to continuing weakness in
the Government Communications segment. For the full fiscal year 2000, the
Company expects that the Government Communications segment will experience a
moderate decline in operating profit on higher revenues. Significant growth in
the broadcast products business and continuing improvement in the microwave
products and communications products businesses should result in earnings and
sales growth during fiscal 2000 for the Commercial Communications segment.
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 expectations, assumptions and
estimates of future performance and economic conditions. Such statements are
made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
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 many factors, including 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;
the ability to execute management's repositioning as a pure communications
company (including management's plan to modify its internal structure and divest
non-core businesses); the ability to realize cost savings from the Company's
internal reorganization; stability of key markets for communications products,
particularly Asia and Brazil; fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates and
the effectiveness of the Company's currency hedging program; 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 receive contract awards; continued
development and market acceptance of new products, especially digital television
broadcast products; continued success of the Company's patent licensing
programs; the ability of the Company, its customers, and suppliers to become
Year 2000 compliant; and the successful resolution of patent infringement and
other general litigation. Other factors that may impact the Company's results
and forward-looking statements may be disclosed in the Company's filings with
the SEC. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events, or otherwise.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Company, in the normal course of doing business, is exposed to the
risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates, fluctuations in the
market value of its equity securities available for sale, and changes in
interest rates. The Company employs established policies and procedures
governing the use of financial instruments to manage its exposure to such risks.
The Company uses foreign exchange contracts and options to hedge both
balance sheet and off-balance sheet foreign currency commitments. Specifically,
these foreign exchange contracts offset foreign currency denominated inventory
and purchase commitments from suppliers, and accounts receivable from and future
committed sales to customers, and intercompany loans. Management believes the
use of foreign currency financial instruments should reduce the risks which
arise from doing business in international markets. Contracts are generally one
year or less. At July 2, 1999, the Company had open foreign exchange contracts
with a notional amount of $37 million, of which $8 million were to hedge
off-balance sheet commitments. At July 3, 1998, the Company had open foreign
exchange contracts with a notional amount of $27 million, of which $22 million
was to hedge off-balance sheet commitments. Additionally, for the fiscal year
ended July 2, 1999, the Company purchased and sold $366 million of foreign
exchange forward and option contracts, compared to $257 million for the prior
year. Reference is made to the Note Financial Instruments in the Notes to
Financial Statements for further information with respect to commitments to buy
or sell foreign currencies. The Company's hedging activities provide only
limited protection against currency exchange risks. Factors that could impact
the effectiveness of the Company's hedging programs 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
the Company's foreign currency derivatives held July 2, 1999, would have an
impact of approximately $3.5 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 the Company's foreign denominated assets,
liabilities and firm commitments.
The Company also maintains a portfolio of marketable equity securities
available for sale. These investments result from the funding of start-up
companies that have technology or products that are of interest to the Company.
The fair market value of these securities at July 2, 1999, was $16 million,
compared to $30 million in the prior year. This reduction was due to a decrease
in these securities' quoted market price and the Company's partial liquidation
of these investments. The corresponding unrealized gain is included as a
component of shareholders' equity. These investments have historically had
higher volatility than most market indices. A 10 percent adverse change in the
quoted market price of marketable equity securities would have an impact of
approximately $1.6 million on the fair market value of these securities.
The Company utilizes a balanced mix of debt maturities along with both
fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to manage its exposures to changes in interest
rates. The Company does not expect changes in interest rates to have a material
effect on income or cash flows in fiscal 2000, although there can be no
assurances that interest rates will not significantly change.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Harris Directors and Shareholders:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Harris
Corporation and subsidiaries as of July 2, 1999 and July 3, 1998, and the
related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and comprehensive income
and shareholders' equity for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended
July 2, 1999. Our audits also include the financial statement schedule listed in
the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are the
responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. The
financial statements of GE-Harris Railway Electronics, LLC and subsidiaries (a
company in which the Corporation has a 49% interest), have been audited by other
auditors, whose report has been furnished to us; insofar as our opinion on the
consolidated financial statements relates to data included for GE-Harris Railway
Electronics, LLC and subsidiaries, it is based solely on their report.
We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and report of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated financial position of Harris Corporation and subsidiaries at
July 2, 1999 and July 3, 1998, and the consolidated results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended July
2, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in
our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in
all material respects the information set forth herein.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION -- The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. These statements have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and require
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been
eliminated.
FISCAL YEAR -- In 1997, the Company changed its fiscal year to end on the Friday
nearest June 30. Fiscal years prior to 1997 ended on June 30. Fiscal years 1999
and 1997 include 52 weeks, while 1998 fiscal year includes 53 weeks.
CASH EQUIVALENTS -- Cash equivalents are temporary cash investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased. These investments include
accrued interest and are carried at the lower of cost or market.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES -- Marketable equity securities are stated at fair value,
with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included as a separate component
of shareholders' equity. Realized gains and losses from marketable securities
are determined using the specific identification method. The cost basis of
marketable securities was $3.9 million at July 2, 1999, and $4.2 million at July
3, 1998. The amount of gross realized gains included in income from continuing
operations was $9.6 million in 1999, $38.8 million in 1998 and $19.4 million in
1997.
INVENTORIES -- Inventories are priced at the lower of cost (determined by
average and first-in, first-out methods) or market.
PLANT AND EQUIPMENT -- Plant and equipment are carried on the basis of cost.
Depreciation of buildings, machinery and equipment is computed by straight-line
and accelerated methods. The estimated useful lives of buildings range between 5
and 50 years. The estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment range
between 3 and 10 years.
INTANGIBLES -- Intangibles resulting from acquisitions are being amortized by
the straight-line method principally over 15 years. Recoverability of
intangibles is assessed using estimated undiscounted cash flows of related
operations. Intangibles that are not expected to be recovered through future
undiscounted cash flows are charged to expense when identified. Amounts charged
to expense are amounts in excess of the fair value of the intangible asset. Fair
value is determined as the present value of estimated expected future cash flows
using a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved.
INCOME TAXES -- The Company follows the liability method of accounting for
income taxes.
REVENUE RECOGNITION -- Revenue is recognized from sales other than on long-term
contracts when a product is shipped, from rentals as they accrue, and from
services when performed. Unearned income on service contracts is amortized by
the straight-line method over the term of the contracts.
Revenue and anticipated profits under long-term contracts are recorded on a
percentage-of-completion basis, generally using the cost-to-cost method of
accounting where sales and profits are recorded based on the ratio of costs
incurred to estimated total costs at completion. Contracts are combined when
specific aggregation criteria are met. Criteria generally include closely
interrelated activities performed for a single customer within the same economic
environment. Contracts generally are not segmented.
Amounts representing contract change orders, claims or other items are
included in sales only when they can be reliably estimated and realization is
probable. Incentives or penalties and awards applicable to performance on
contracts are considered in estimating sales and profit rates, and are recorded
when there is sufficient information to assess anticipated contract performance.
Incentive provisions which increase or decrease earnings based solely on a
single significant event are generally not recognized until the event occurs.
When adjustments in contract value or estimated costs are determined, any
changes from prior estimates are reflected in earnings in the current period.
Anticipated losses on contracts or programs in progress are charged to earnings
when identified.
Royalty income is included as a component of "Other income" and is
recognized on the basis of terms specified in contractual settlement agreements.
RETIREMENT BENEFITS -- The Company and its subsidiaries provide retirement
benefits to substantially all employees primarily through a retirement plan
having profit-sharing and savings elements. Contributions by the Company to the
retirement plan are based on profits and employees' savings with no other
funding requirements. The Company may make additional contributions to the fund
at its discretion.
Retirement benefits also include an unfunded limited healthcare plan for
U.S. based retirees and employees on long-term disability. The Company accrues
the estimated cost of these medical benefits, which are not material, during an
employee's active service life.
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES -- The Company capitalizes environmental expenditures
that increase the life or efficiency of property or that reduce or prevent
environmental contamination. The Company accrues environmental expenses
resulting from existing conditions that relate to past operations when the costs
are probable and reasonably estimable.
Based on an assessment of relevant factors, the Company has estimated that
its discounted liability under the Superfund Act and other environmental
statutes and regulations for identified sites, using a 6 percent discount rate,
is approximately $5.1 million. This liability is accrued in the July 2, 1999
consolidated balance sheet. The expected aggregate undiscounted amount that will
be incurred over the next 20 to 30 years (depending on the number of years for
each site) is approximately $9.3 million. The expected payments for each of the
next five years are approximately
37
<PAGE> 40
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
$0.4 million per year and the aggregate amount thereafter is approximately $7.3
million.
FUTURES AND FORWARD CONTRACTS -- When the Company sells products outside the
United States or enters into purchase commitments, transactions are frequently
denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. To minimize the impact on
revenue and cost from currency fluctuations, the Company enters into currency
exchange agreements that qualify for hedge accounting treatment. It is the
Company's policy not to speculate in foreign currencies. Currency exchange
agreements are designated as, and are effective as, hedges of foreign currency
assets and liabilities. In addition, these agreements are consistent with the
designated currency of the underlying asset or liability. Gains and losses on
currency exchange agreements that qualify as hedges are deferred and recognized
as an adjustment of the carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability. Gains
and losses on currency exchange agreements that do not qualify as hedges are
recognized in income based on changes in the fair market value of the currency
exchange agreement.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION -- The functional currency for most international
subsidiaries is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at
current rates of exchange, and income and expense items are translated at the
weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation
adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
UNEARNED COMPENSATION -- Compensation resulting from performance shares granted
under the Company's long-term incentive plan is amortized to expense over the
performance period and is adjusted for changes in the market value of the Common
Stock.
NET INCOME PER SHARE -- Net income per share is based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each year.
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 financial
statements and notes to financial statements to number of shares, per share
amounts, and market prices of the Company's Common Stock have been restated to
reflect the increased number of shares outstanding.
ACCOUNTING CHANGES
In fiscal 1999, the Company adopted two accounting standards issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board in June 1997. FAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," and FAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information". These standards required changes to current
disclosures and did not impact results of operations, cash flows or financial
position.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The statement
establishes standards for recording derivative financial instruments and the
recognition of gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair values of
those instruments. The Company plans to adopt the new standard in fiscal 2001,
however, the Company has not determined the anticipated impact of FAS No. 133.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In fiscal 1999, the Company decided to sell its Semiconductor business and spin
off its Lanier Worldwide subsidiary. Accordingly, the results of operations and
the net assets of these business segments have been reclassified as discontinued
operations.
Summarized financial information for the discontinued operations follows:

RESTRUCTURING
In fiscal 1999, the Company recorded a $5.1 million charge ($3.3 million after
income tax) for severance costs associated with the restructuring of the
Company. The Company has identified employee reductions of 738, most of which
will occur during the first half of fiscal 2000.
In fiscal 1998, the Company recorded a $16.1 million charge ($10.1 million
after income taxes) for severance and other product line exit costs. Severance
reserves were established for the reduction of 101 employees within the
Company's U.S. operations. Other restructuring actions included the write-off of
capitalized software and other long-term assets associated with the exit from
the Company's analog base station, wirefree communication devices and
transportation tracking systems product lines. Estimated discounted cash flows
were used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities in recording
the restructuring charge. Cash outlays for restructuring actions were for
severance benefits. Sales from exited product lines were $13.4 million in 1998
and $23.1 million in 1997. Operating profit from these product lines was not
material.

CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
At July 2, 1999, the Company had available syndicated credit facilities with
various banks that provide for borrowings up to $750 million. A $500 million
facility expires November 2001. The remaining $250 million facilities were
repaid and terminated in August 1999. Interest rates on borrowings under the
$500 million facility are determined by a pricing matrix based upon the
Company's long-term debt rating assigned by Standard and Poor's Ratings Group
and Moody's Investors Service. A facility fee is payable on the credit and
determined in the same manner as the interest rates. The Company is not required
to maintain compensating balances in connection with these agreements. Under its
credit facilities, $404.2 million was outstanding at July 2, 1999, $100 million
of which has been classified as long-term based on the Company's intent to
maintain borrowings of at least that amount for the next year.
The Company also has lines of credit for short-term financing aggregating
$77.3 million from various U.S. and foreign banks, of which $57.8 million was
available on July 2, 1999. These arrangements provide for borrowing at various
interest rates, are reviewed annually for renewal, and may be used on such terms
as the Company and the banks mutually

agree. These lines do not require compensating balances. These agreements
contain certain financial covenants including maintenance of at least $900
million of tangible net worth and total debt not to exceed 50 percent of total
capital. Approximately $149.8 million worth of debt was included in net assets
of discontinued operations on the July 2, 1999, consolidated balance sheet.

2003, and $0.4 million in 2004.
PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS
On December 6, 1996, the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share
purchase right for each outstanding share of Common Stock. These rights, which
expire on December 6, 2006, are evidenced by Common Stock share certificates and
trade with the Common Stock until they become exercisable, entitle the holder to
purchase one two-hundredth of a share of Participating Preferred Stock for $250,
subject to adjustment. The rights are not exercisable until the earlier of 10
business days (or such later date fixed by the Board) after a party commences a
tender or exchange offer to acquire a beneficial interest of at least 15% of the
Company's outstanding Common Stock, or the first date of public announcement by
the Company that a person has acquired a beneficial interest of at least 15% of
the Company's outstanding Common Stock or such later date fixed by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
Upon the first date of public announcement by the Company that a person has
acquired a beneficial interest of at least 15% of the Company's outstanding
Common Stock, or such later date fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company,
each right (other than rights beneficially owned by an acquiring person or any
affiliate or associate thereof) would entitle the holder to purchase shares of
Common Stock of the Company having a market value equal to twice the exercise
price of the right. In addition, each right (other than rights beneficially
owned by an acquiring person or any affiliate or associate thereof) would
entitle the rightholder to exercise the right and receive shares of common stock
of the acquiring company, upon a merger or other business combination, having a
market value of twice the exercise price of the right.
Under certain circumstances after the rights become exercisable, the Board of
Directors may elect to exchange all of the then outstanding rights for shares of
Common Stock at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per right,
subject to adjustment. The rights have no voting privileges and may be redeemed
by the Board of Directors at a price of $.01 per right at any time prior to the
acquisition of a beneficial ownership of 15% of the outstanding Common Stock.
STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS
The following information relates to stock option and incentive stock awards.
Option prices are 100 percent of market value on the date the options are
granted. Option grants are for a maximum of ten years after dates of grant and

Presented below is pro forma information regarding net income and net income
per share. It has been determined as if the Company had accounted for stock
options using the fair value method of accounting for stock options. The fair
value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Expected life (years) 4 4 4
</TABLE>
For purposes of pro forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of options is
amortized to expense over their three year vesting period. Under the fair value
method, the Company's net income and net income per share would have been
reduced as follows:

</TABLE>
Because the fair value method of accounting for options applies only to
options granted subsequent to June 30, 1995, the pro forma effect was not fully
reflected until 1999.
The Company has a stock incentive plan for directors and key employees. Awards
under this plan may include the grant of performance shares, restricted stock,
stock options, stock appreciation rights or other stock-based awards. The
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be awarded under the plan
in each fiscal year is one percent of the total outstanding shares of Common
Stock plus shares available from prior years. Performance shares outstanding
were 429,869 at July 2, 1999; 625,365 at July 3, 1998; and 827,110 at June 27,
1997. Shares of Common Stock reserved for future awards under the plan were
2,296,417 at July 2, 1999; 2,509,002 at July 3, 1998; and 2,380,516 at June 27,
1997.
Under the Company's domestic retirement plan, employees may purchase a limited
amount of the Company's Common Stock at 70 percent of current market value. The
discounts from fair market value on Common Stock purchased by employees under
the domestic retirement plans are charged to compensation expense in the period
of the related purchase. Shares of Common Stock reserved for future purchases by
the retirement plan were 2,196,341 at July 2, 1999.

operations are expensed as incurred. These costs were $92.4 million in 1999,
$94.0 million in 1998, and $85.6 million in 1997.
Customer-sponsored research and development costs are incurred pursuant to
long-term contractual arrangements and are accounted for principally by the
percentage-of-completion method. Customer-sponsored research and development
costs incurred under government-sponsored contracts require the Company to
provide a product or service meeting certain defined performance or other
specifications (such as designs).
INTEREST EXPENSE
Total interest from continuing operations was $9.9 million in 1999, $13.5
million in 1998, and $23.8 million in 1997. Interest attributable to funds used
to finance major long-term construction projects is capitalized as an additional
cost of the related asset. Interest capitalized was $0.1 million in 1999, $1.0
million in 1998, and $0.0 million in 1997. Interest paid was $14.6 million in
1999, $9.9 million in 1998 and $20.7 million in 1997.

United States income taxes have not been provided on $76 million of
undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries because of the Company's
intention to reinvest these earnings. The determination of unrecognized deferred
U.S. tax liability for the undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries
is not practicable.
Pretax income (loss) from continuing operations of international subsidiaries
was $2.7 million in 1999, $(3.4) million in 1998 and $2.1 million in 1997.
Income taxes paid were $35.5 million in 1999, $29.2 million in 1998 and $57.8
million in 1997.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
In fiscal 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information".
The new standard changes the information the Company reports about its operating
segments. Operating segment information for prior years has been restated to
conform to the 1999 presentation.
The Company is structured primarily around the markets it serves and operates
in two business segments -- Government Communications and Commercial
Communications. The Government Communications segment engages in advanced
research and develops, designs and produces advanced communication and
information processing systems. The Commercial Communications segment produces
broadcast, radio communications, and telecommunications products and systems.
The Company's products and systems are produced principally in the United States
with international revenues derived primarily from exports.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those
described in the Significant Accounting Policies footnote. The Company evaluates
performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes
excluding interest income and expense, equity income, and gains or losses from
securities and other investments. Intersegment sales, which are insignificant,
are accounted for at prices comparable to unaffiliated customers. Net sales and
operating profit by segment are on page 3. That information is an integral part
of these financial statements.
Sales made to the U.S. government by all segments (primarily the Government
Communications segment) were 42.3 percent of total sales from continuing
operations in 1999, 47.2 percent of sales from continuing operations in 1998,
and 43.4 percent of sales from continuing operations in 1997.

GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
U.S. operations:
Net sales $1,537.2 $1,689.0 $1,725.3
Long-lived assets 546.7 571.4 507.6
International operations:
Net sales $ 206.3 $ 235.8 $ 223.3
Long-lived assets 87.3 71.3 85.8
</TABLE>
Headquarters assets consist primarily of cash, marketable securities, deferred
income taxes, plant and equipment, and net assets of discontinued operations.
Export sales were $242.2 million in 1999, $320.6 million in 1998 and $238.5
million in 1997. Export sales and net sales of international operations were
principally to Europe, Asia and Latin America.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts
receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt and long-term
debt approximates fair value. The fair value of long-term debt, as determined by
quotes from financial institutions, was $493.5 million at July 2, 1999, and
$779.6 million at July 3, 1998.
The Company uses foreign exchange contracts and options to hedge intercompany
accounts and off-balance-sheet foreign currency commitments. Specifically, these
foreign exchange contracts offset foreign currency denominated inventory and
purchase commitments from suppliers, accounts receivable from and future
committed sales to customers, and firm committed operating expenses. Management
believes the use of foreign currency financial instruments should reduce the
risks which arise from doing business in international markets. Contracts are
for periods consistent with the terms of the underlying transaction, generally
one year or less. At July 2, 1999, open foreign exchange contracts were $37.0
million (as described below), of which $7.7 million were to hedge
off-balance-sheet commitments. The fair market value of foreign exchange
contracts and options as determined by quoted market indices and quotes from
financial institutions was $37.0 million. Additionally, for the year ended July
2, 1999, the Company purchased and sold $366.1 million of foreign exchange
forward and option contracts.
Deferred gains and losses are included on a net basis in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet as other assets and are recorded in income as part of the
underlying transaction when it is recognized.
At July 2, 1999, the Company had no open option contracts. Total open foreign
exchange contracts at July 2, 1999, are described in the table below.

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Members of
GE Harris Railway Electronics, L.L.C. and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of GE Harris Railway
Electronics, L.L.C. and subsidiaries (a limited liability company) as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of
operations and comprehensive income, members' equity, and cash flows for the
years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GE Harris Railway
Electronics, L.L.C. and subsidiaries (a limited liability company) as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and
comprehensive income and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
