NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
January 2, 2009
January 2, 2009
Note A Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harris
Stratex Networks, Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (we, us, and our)
and have been prepared by us, without an audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all information
and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations
and changes in cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In the
opinion of our management, such financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for such periods.
The results for the quarter ended January 2, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any subsequent period. The balance sheet
as of June 27, 2008 has been derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States for annual financial statements. We provide complete financial statements in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K, which includes information and footnotes required by the rules and regulations
of the SEC. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in
conjunction with the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27,
2008 (Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K) and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended
December 28, 2007, both of which were filed with the SEC on September 25, 2008.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those results and estimates.
As of January 2, 2009, Harris Corporation (Harris) owned 100% of our Class B common stock or
approximately 56% of the total shares of our common stock.
Nature of Operations We design, manufacture and sell a broad range of microwave radios,
scalable wireless network solutions and vertical market solutions for use in worldwide wireless and
wireline communications networks. Applications include cellular/mobile infrastructure connectivity;
WiMAX networks and energy and security solutions; secure data networks; public safety transport for
state, local and federal government users; and right-of-way connectivity for utilities, pipelines,
railroads and industrial companies. In general, wireless networks are constructed using microwave
radios and other equipment and network management solutions to connect cell sites, fixed-access
facilities, switching systems, land mobile radio systems and other similar systems.
Note B Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Initial Application of Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to Standards and
Interpretations
Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (Statement 157). Statement 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement 157 applies
under other accounting pronouncements that require fair value measurement in which the FASB
concluded that fair value was the relevant measurement, but does not require any new fair value
measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2,
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP FAS 157-2), which defers the effective date of
Statement 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least
annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, which for us is our fiscal 2010. We
adopted Statement 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and there was no impact to our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows. In accordance with FSP FAS 157-2, we elected to
defer until fiscal 2010 the adoption of Statement 157 for nonfinancial assets (including items such
as goodwill and other intangible assets) and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least
annually). We do not currently anticipate that the adoption of Statement 157 for nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities will materially impact our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. See Note D Fair Value Measurements of Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for
disclosures required by Statement 157.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Statement 159). Statement 159
allows companies to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial
assets and financial liabilities at fair value (the fair value option). The election is made on
an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for an
instrument, all unrealized gains or losses in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in
earnings at each subsequent reporting date. We adopted Statement 159 in the first quarter of fiscal
2009 but have not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.

Table of Contents
Standards, Interpretations and Amendments Issued, but not yet Adopted
Accounting for Business Combinations
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised
2007), Business Combinations (Statement 141R). Statement 141R requires that, upon a business
combination, the acquired assets, assumed liabilities, contractual contingencies and contingent
liabilities be recognized and measured at their fair value at the acquisition date. Statement 141R
also requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition and
expensed as incurred. In addition, Statement 141R requires that acquired in-process research and
development be measured at fair value and capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, and
it is therefore not subject to amortization until the project is completed or abandoned. Statement
141R also requires that changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax
uncertainties that are recognized after the measurement period be recognized in income tax expense.
Statement 141R is to be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning on or
after December 15, 2008, which for us is our fiscal 2010. Thus, while adoption is not expected to
materially impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows directly when it
becomes effective on July 4, 2009 (the beginning of our fiscal 2010), it is expected to have a
significant effect on the accounting for any acquisitions we make on, or subsequent to that date.
Accounting for Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51
(Statement 160). Statement 160 requires that noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as
minority interests) be clearly identified and presented as a component of equity, separate from the
parents equity. Statement 160 also requires that the amount of consolidated net income
attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented
on the face of the consolidated statement of income; that changes in ownership interest be
accounted for as equity transactions; and that when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained
noncontrolling equity investment in that subsidiary and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of
that subsidiary be measured at fair value. Statement 160 is to be applied prospectively, except for
the presentation and disclosure requirements (which are to be applied retrospectively for all
periods presented) and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which for
us is our fiscal 2010. We do not currently anticipate the implementation of Statement 160 will
materially impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133 (Statement 161). Statement 161 applies to all derivative instruments, including
bifurcated derivative instruments (and to nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify
as hedging instruments pursuant to paragraphs 37 and 42 of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Statement 133)
and related hedged items accounted for under Statement 133. Statement 161 amends and expands the
disclosure requirements of Statement 133 to provide greater transparency as to (a) how and why an
entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, results of operations
and cash flows. To meet those objectives, Statement 161 requires qualitative disclosures about
objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about the volume of
derivative activity and fair value amounts of, and gains and losses on, derivative instruments
including location of such amounts in the consolidated financial statements, and disclosures about
credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. Statement 161 is effective for
fiscal years and interim periods that begin after November 15, 2008, which for us is the third
quarter of our fiscal 2009 (which began January 3, 2009). We do not currently anticipate the
implementation of Statement 161 will materially impact our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
Earnings per Share
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-6-1, Determining
Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (FSP
EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights
to receive nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are
participating securities and, accordingly, should be included in the two-class method of
calculating earnings per share (EPS) under FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128, Earnings per Share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 also includes guidance on allocating earnings pursuant
to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008, which for us is our fiscal 2010. All prior-period EPS data presented (including interim
financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) shall be adjusted
retrospectively. We do not currently anticipate that the implementation of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will
materially impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents
Useful Life of Intangible Assets
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determining the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets (FSP FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that must be considered in developing
renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of recognized intangible assets
accounted for pursuant to FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets (Statement 142). FSP FAS 142-3 amends Statement 142 to require an entity
to consider its own historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements, regardless
of whether those arrangements have explicit renewal or extension provisions. In the absence of such
experience, FSP FAS 142-3 requires an entity to consider assumptions that market participants would
use (consistent with the highest and best use of the asset by market participants), adjusted for
entity-specific factors. FSP FAS 142-3 also requires incremental disclosures for renewable
intangible assets. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008,
which for us is our fiscal 2010. FSP FAS 142-3 is to be applied prospectively to intangible assets
acquired after the effective date, and the incremental disclosure requirements for renewable
intangible assets are to be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and
subsequent to, the effective date.
Note C Goodwill and Trade Name Impairments
We test our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with Statement
142 as part of our fiscal year-end financial close process and when events or circumstances
indicate there may be an impairment. The majority of our goodwill and
the trade name Stratex were recorded in connection with
the acquisition of Stratex in January 2007 and were included in
the International Microwave segment of our business. In January 2009, we determined that based on the current
global economic environment and the decline of our market capitalization, it was likely that an
indicator of goodwill impairment existed as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009. As a
result, we performed an interim review for impairment as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal
2009 of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets (consisting solely of the trade
name Stratex).
To test for potential impairment of our goodwill, we determined the fair value of each of our
reporting segments based on projected discounted cash flows and market-based multiples applied to
sales and earnings. The results indicated an impairment to
goodwill, because the current carrying value of the North America Microwave and International
Microwave segments exceeded their fair value. We then allocated these fair values to the respective
underlying assets and liabilities to determine the implied fair value of goodwill, resulting in a
$279.0 million charge to write down all of our goodwill. We determined the fair value of the trade
name Stratex by performing a projected discounted cash flow analysis based on the
relief-from-royalty approach, resulting in a $22.0 million charge to write down a majority of the
trade name Stratex. The majority of the goodwill and the trade name Stratex were recorded in
connection with the acquisition of Stratex Networks, Inc. in January 2007. We will not be required
to make any current or future cash expenditures as a result of these impairments, and these
impairments do not impact our financial covenant compliance under our credit arrangements or our
ongoing financial performance.
For reasons similar to those stated above, we also conducted a review of our long-lived
assets, including amortizable intangible assets, in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets.
This review did not indicate that an impairment existed as of the end of the second quarter of
fiscal 2009.

Note D Fair Value Measurements of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
We adopted Statement 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and there was no impact to our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In accordance with FSP FAS 157-2, we
elected to defer until fiscal 2010 the adoption of Statement 157 for all nonfinancial assets
(including items such as goodwill and other intangible assets) and nonfinancial liabilities, except
for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring
basis (at least annually). Statement 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market,
in the absence of a principal market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants as of the measurement date. Statement 157 requires entities to maximize the use
of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value and
establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair
value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
| Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. | ||
| Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or are derived principally fromor corroborated byobservable market data by correlation or other means. | ||
| Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, and reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. |

Short-term investments and foreign exchange forward contracts are reported at fair value with
the related unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income in shareholders equity. Realized gains and losses are recorded in selling and
administrative expenses.
As of June 27, 2008, we had warrants to purchase shares of our Class A common stock. Our
liability for warrants is classified as a Level 3 financial liability under Statement 157. As of
January 2, 2009, warrants to purchase 520,445 shares of our Class A common stock were outstanding.
These warrants have an exercise price of $11.80 per common share and will expire on September 24,
2009. The per share fair value of each warrant was $0.55 and $1.15 as of January 2, 2009 and
June 27, 2008, determined based on the Black-Scholes-Merton model with the assumptions listed in
the table below.

As a result of recording these outstanding warrants at fair value as of January 2, 2009, we
recorded the change in fair value during the two quarters ended January 2, 2009 as a $0.3 million
reduction to selling and administrative expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations (none during the second quarter of fiscal 2009). During the quarter and two quarters
ended January 2, 2009, no warrants were exercised.

Facility allowed for revolving credit borrowings of up to $50 million with available credit defined
as $50 million less the outstanding balance of the long-term portion and any usage under the
revolving credit portion. As of June 27, 2008, the outstanding balance of the long-term portion of
our Original Credit Facility was $8.8 million and there were $8.6 million in outstanding standby
letters of credit as of that date defined as usage under the revolving credit portion of the
facility. As of January 2, 2009, $6.7 million of these
standby letters of credit outstanding under the Original Credit
Facility remain as an obligation to Silicon Valley Bank.

Table of Contents
On June 30, 2008 the Original Credit Facility was terminated and replaced by a new
revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank and Bank of America as of that date (the New
Facility).The outstanding balance of the Original Credit Facility was repaid in full, including
all accrued interest, on June 30, 2008 with the proceeds of a $10 million short-term borrowing
under the New Facility.
The New Facility provides for an initial committed amount of $70 million with an
uncommitted option for an additional $50 million available with the same or additional
banks. The initial term of the New Facility is three years and provides for (1) demand borrowings (with
no stated maturity date) with an interest rate of the greater of Bank of Americas prime rate or
the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, (2) fixed term Eurodollar loans for up to six months or more as
agreed with the banks with an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread of between 1.25% to 2.00% based
on our current leverage ratio and (3) the issuance of standby or commercial letters of credit. The
New Facility contains a minimum liquidity ratio covenant and a maximum leverage ratio covenant and
is unsecured. As of January 2, 2009, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.
The New Facility allows for borrowings of up to $70 million with available credit defined
as $70 million less the outstanding balance of borrowings ($10.0 million as of January 2, 2009) and
letters of credit ($7.6 million as of January 2, 2009). Available credit as of January 2, 2009 was
$52.4 million. The interest rate on our short-term borrowings was 3.25% as of January 2, 2009.

During the quarter ended January 2, 2009, we determined that certain net income and cash flow
targets would not be achieved for performance share awards made under our fiscal year 2007
Long-Term Incentive Plan. The 30-month performance period for these awards ends on July 3, 2009. We
now estimate that 60% of these awards will not vest and will be forfeited as of July 3, 2009.
Accordingly, we recorded a credit to compensation expense of $1.0 million during the quarter ended
January 2, 2009 related to these awards. The final determination of the number of performance
shares vesting in respect of an award will be determined by our Board of Directors, or a committee of
our Board.
During
November 2008, we granted options to purchase 860,906 shares of
our Class A Common Stock and 447,654 performance share awards to
employees under our 2007 Stock Equity Plan. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model using the following
weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 53 percent; expected contractual term life of
4.4 years; and expected dividend yield of zero percent.
We
issued 688 shares upon the exercise of stock options during the two quarters ended January
2, 2009.
We
issued 8,120 and 85,365 shares upon the exercise of stock options during the quarter and
two quarters ended December 28, 2007.
Note M Business Segments
We are organized into three operating segments around the markets we serve: North America

Microwave segment designs, manufactures, sells and services microwave radio products, primarily for
cellular network providers and private network users outside of North America. The Network
Operations segment develops, designs, produces, sells and services network management software
systems, primarily for cellular network providers and private network users.
During the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2009, Mobile Telephone
Networks or (MTN) of Africa accounted for 11% and 12% of our total revenue and Middle East
Telecommunications("METCO") accounted for 13% and 11% of our total revenue. During the second quarter and
first two quarters of fiscal 2008, MTN accounted for 12% of our total
revenue. As of January 2, 2009, MTN and METCO accounted for
5.5% and 13.8%
of our accounts receivable.

Note N Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2009 and
2008 is based on our estimated annual effective tax rate. Our provision for income taxes was $23.5
million and $24.4 million for the second quarter and first two
quarters of fiscal 2009. The 2009 tax provision was primarily due to a $20.8 million increase in the valuation allowance for certain deferred tax
assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. We have determined that it is more likely than not that
we will not utilize our net operating loss carryforwards and have recorded a valuation allowance on the entire
balance of our deferred tax assets. Additionally, we have offset the amount due to Harris with $9.8
million of deferred tax assets that were contributed to us by Harris as part of the combination
agreement of merger with Stratex Networks, Inc. The variation between the provision (benefit) for income
taxes and income tax expense (benefit) at the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35% is also due
to the increase in the valuation reserve and the consolidation of our
foreign operations, which are subject to income taxes at lower statutory rates.
As of June 27, 2008, we had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $29.6 million
for various federal, foreign, and state income tax matters. During the first two quarters of fiscal
2009, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits increased by $0.7 million. The total liability
for unrecognized tax benefits as of January 2, 2009 was $30.3 million. If the unrecognized tax
benefits associated with these positions are ultimately recognized, they would not be expected to
have a material impact on our effective tax rate or financial position.
15
Table of Contents
We account for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of our
provision for federal, foreign, and state income taxes. We accrued an additional amount for such
interest of less than $0.1 million during the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2009
and fiscal year 2008. No penalties have been accrued.
We expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefit may change in the next year;
however, it is not expected to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial
position or cash flows.
We have a number of years with open tax audits which vary from jurisdiction to
jurisdiction. Our major tax jurisdictions include the U.S., Nigeria, Singapore, New Zealand,
Poland, South Africa, France and the U.K. The earliest years still open and subject to ongoing
audits as for purposes of FIN 48 for these jurisdictions are as follows: (i) United States
(Federal/State) 2005/2004; (ii) Nigeria 2004;
(iii) Singapore 2002; (iv) New Zealand 2004; (v) Poland 2003; (vi) South Africa 2002; (vii) France 2005; and (viii) U.K. 2007.

Note O Related Party Transactions with Harris
Pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement, Harris provides various services to us and
charges are based primarily on actual usage. These services include database management, supply
chain operating systems, eBusiness services, sales and service, financial systems, back office
material resource planning support, HR systems, internal and information systems shared services
support, network management and help desk support, and server administration and support. Harris
charged us $1.8 million and $1.7 million for these services during the quarters ended January 2,
2009 and December 28, 2007, and $3.3 million and $3.4 million during the two quarters ended January
2, 2009 and December 28, 2007.
We have sales to, and purchases from, other Harris entities from time to time. These purchases
and sales are recorded at market price. Our sales to Harris entities were $1.0 million and $3.7
million for the quarters ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007 and $1.9 million and $4.9
million for the two quarters ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007. We also recognized costs
associated with related party purchases from Harris of
$0.6 million and $3.3 million for the
quarters ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007 and
$1.9 million and $3.6 million for the two
quarters ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007.
The unpaid amounts billed from Harris are included within Due to Harris Corporation on our
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, we have other receivables and payables in the
normal course of business with Harris. These amounts are netted
within Due from Harris Corporation
on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total receivables from
Harris were $4.8 million and
$4.0 million as of January 2, 2009 and June 27, 2008.
Total payables to Harris were $3.1 million
and $20.8 million as of January 2, 2009 and June 27, 2008.
Prior to January 26, 2007, the date of our merger with Stratex Networks, Inc., we used certain
assets in Canada owned by Harris that were not contributed to us as part of the merger. We continue
to use these assets in our business and entered into a 5-year lease agreement to accommodate this
use. This agreement is a capital lease under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As of
January 2, 2009, our lease obligation to Harris was $2.1 million of which $1.1 million is a current
liability and the related asset amount, net of accumulated amortization of $1.6 million, is
included in property, plant and equipment. Quarterly lease payments are due to Harris based on the
amount of 103% of Harris annual depreciation calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
During the first two quarters of fiscal 2008, we recognized an impairment charge of
$1.3 million on a portion of these Canadian assets which is included in our restructuring charges.
We also recognized an increase of $0.4 million to the lease obligation balance during the first two
quarters of fiscal 2008 from a recapitalization under the lease terms, primarily because of the
impairment charge and a rescheduling of the lease payments. During the first two quarters of fiscal
2009, we paid Harris $0.5 million under this capital lease obligation for the lease payments.
During the first two quarters of fiscal 2008, we paid Harris $2.0 million under this capital lease
obligation resulting from the $1.3 million impairment discussed above and for the lease payments.
Our amortization expense on this capital lease was $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the quarters
ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007 and $0.6 million and $0.9 million for the two quarters
ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007.
Note P Legal Proceedings
On February 8, 2007, a court order was entered against Stratex do Brasil, a subsidiary of
Harris Stratex Networks Operating Company, in Brazil, to enforce performance of an alleged
agreement between the former Stratex Networks, Inc. entity and a supplier. We have not determined
what, if any, liability this may result in, as the court did not award any damages. We have
appealed the decision to enforce the alleged agreement, and do not expect this litigation to have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

We and certain of our current and former executive officers and directors were named in a
federal securities class action complaint filed on September 15, 2008 in the United States District
Court for the District of Delaware by plaintiff Norfolk County Retirement System on behalf of an
alleged class of purchasers of our securities from January 29, 2007 to July 30, 2008, including
shareholders of Stratex Networks, Inc. who exchanged shares of Stratex Networks, Inc. for our
shares as part of the merger between Stratex Networks and the Microwave Communications Division of
Harris Corporation. This action relates to the restatement of our prior financial statements as
discussed in Item 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations. Similar complaints were filed in the United States District Court of Delaware on
October 6 and October 30, 2008. Each complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, as well as violations of
Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and seeks, among other relief, determinations that
the action is a proper class action, unspecified compensatory damages and reasonable attorneys
fees and costs. We have entered into stipulations with plaintiffs counsel in these actions under
which we will not have to respond to these claims until a lead plaintiff is selected by the Court
and that lead plaintiff has filed a consolidated class action complaint. We believe that we have
meritorious defenses and intend to defend ourselves vigorously.
From time to time, we may be involved in various legal claims and litigation that arise in the
normal course of our operations. While the results of such claims and litigation cannot be
predicted with certainty, we currently believe that we are not a party to any litigation the final
outcome of which is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. However, should we not prevail in any such litigation; it could have a
materially adverse impact on our operating results, cash flows or financial position.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Harris Stratex Networks, Inc.
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Harris Stratex Networks,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 2, 2009, the related condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the quarter and two quarters ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007, and the
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the two quarters ended January 2, 2009 and
December 28, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made
to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Harris Stratex
Networks, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 27, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of
operations and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein, and in our report dated
September 12, 2008, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of June 27, 2008, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated
balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act), which include, without limitation, statements about the market for
our technology, our strategy and competition. Such statements are based upon current expectations
that involve risks and uncertainties. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of
historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. For example, the words believes,
anticipates, plans, expects, intends and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Our actual results and the timing of certain events may differ
significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might
cause such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those discussed below under the
discussions of Risk Factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2008. All forward looking statements in this document are
based on information available to us as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update
any such forward-looking statements.
As previously announced on July 30, 2008, Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. and its Audit
Committee concluded that our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 29,
2007, June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 and for the first three quarters of the fiscal year ended
June 27, 2008 would be restated for the correction of errors contained in those consolidated
financial statements. The effect of these restatement items reduced shareholders equity
cumulatively by $13.2 million as of December 28, 2007. Previously reported net loss was increased
by $2.2 million and $1.6 million for the quarter and two quarters ended December 28, 2007. The
restatement had no impact on our net cash flows from operations, financing activities or investing
activities. To correct these errors, on September 25, 2008, we filed amended quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q/A for the first three quarters of fiscal 2008 and an amended annual report on Form 10-K/A
for fiscal year 2007. The financial statements for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 included in
this report are from the amended quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A filed with the SEC on September
25, 2008.
Overview
The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, which is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as the MD&A, is
provided as a supplement to, should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes presented under
Item 1, Financial Statements of this report. As of January 2, 2009, Harris Corporation (Harris)
owned 100% of our Class B common stock representing approximately 56% of our total voting shares.

Our revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $190.9 million, an increase of
$9.8 million or 5.4%, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2008. This increase in revenue
resulted from growth in Africa ($10.2 million increase) and in Europe, Middle East and Russia
($15.9 million increase) as customers in these regions continued to expand their network
infrastructures. Revenue in Latin America and Asia Pacific declined by $15.7 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the second quarter of fiscal
2008 due to the procurement cycle of several large mobile operators in the Asia Pacific region. Revenue from some of our customers may fluctuate due
to the timing of their specific procurement needs for network
expansion.

Table of Contents
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, Mobile Telephone Networks (MTN) in Africa
accounted for 11% of our total revenue and Middle East Telecommunications (METCO)
accounted for 13% of our total revenue. During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, MTN accounted
for 11% of our total revenue. We have entered into several agreements with MTN and its
subsidiaries and affiliates located in various countries in Africa for equipment and services which
govern the relationship in the aggregate. METCO is an exclusive distributor with the right to resell
equipment or sublicense software to customers in the Middle East region and has non-exclusive
distribution rights to other territories. The agreement, as amended, expires on September 12,
2010 and may be renewed by the parties upon mutual agreement. The agreement may be
terminated by either party upon 90 days prior written notice, upon breach of a term that is not
cured within 30 days of the breach or insolvency of either party. Our
agreement with METCO does
not contain specific purchase commitments, therefore, revenue may fluctuate from quarter to
quarter.
The loss of either of these customers could adversely affect our
results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
Due to the economic slowdown and the tightening of credit among lending institutions,
customers may delay or decrease their overall spending allocated for
network expansion. We believe some customers have delayed or decreased spending and have not
necessarily provided target dates or times as to when they expect to change their plans.
We expect revenue to be in the range of $150 million to $170 million
in our third quarter of fiscal 2009.
Our net loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $315.4 million compared with a net loss
of $3.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The net loss in the second quarter of fiscal
2009 included impairment charges for goodwill and the trade name Stratex, a charge for increasing
the valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets, as well as the following purchase
accounting adjustments and other expenses related to the acquisition and integration of Stratex and
share-based compensation expense:

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we implemented a new restructuring plan (the Fiscal
2009 Plan) to reduce our workforce in Canada, Brazil and the U.S. During the second quarter of
fiscal 2009, our restructuring charges totaled $1.1 million consisting of:
| Severance, retention and related charges associated with reduction in force activities totaling $1.2 million (Fiscal 2009 Plan). | ||
| Facility restoration costs totaling $0.2 million at our Canadian location (Fiscal 2009 Plan). | ||
| Adjustments to the restructuring liability under our 2007 restructuring plans (the Fiscal 2007 Plans) for changes in estimates to reduce the severance liability in Canada ($0.3 million). |
During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded an additional $4.4 million of
restructuring charges in connection with the implementation of our Fiscal 2007 Plans. During the
second quarter fiscal 2008, our restructuring charges consisted of:
| Severance, retention and related charges associated with reduction in force activities totaling $0.9 million. | ||
| Lease impairment charges totaling $1.1 million from implementation of Fiscal 2007 Plans and changes in estimates related to sub-tenant activity at our U.S. and Canadian locations. | ||
| Impairment of $2.3 million for the reduction in fair value of recoverable taxes in Brazil. | ||
| Impairment of $0.1 million for fixed assets at our Canadian location. |
We estimate that we will record an additional $3.0 million in restructuring charges under the
Fiscal 2009 Plan during the second half of fiscal 2009. Additionally, we expect to announce further
restructuring plans during fiscal 2009.

Gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $54.4 million, or 28.5% of revenue,
compared with $49.0 million, or 27.1% of revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Gross margin
in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was reduced by $2.0 million which included $1.8 million for amortization of developed
technology and $0.2 million of amortization of the fair value of adjustments for fixed assets
acquired from Stratex. Gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was reduced by $6.5 million which included $3.7
million in markdowns of inventory, $0.2 million of amortization of the fair value of adjustments
for fixed assets acquired from Stratex, $1.7 million of amortization of developed technology and

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $9.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal

these expenses decreased from 6.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to 5.0% in the second
quarter of fiscal 2009 due to higher revenue and a decrease in spending. The decrease in spending
in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was primarily
attributable to the reduction in workforce implemented in our restructuring plans during fiscal
2008.

these expenses decreased to 17.2% of revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 from 20.0% of
revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we incurred
$2.3 million in expenses for merger integration activities. Such activities were completed prior to
fiscal 2009 and no such expenses were incurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
Additionally, share-based compensation expenses during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 were $1.0
million less than in the same period of fiscal 2008 primarily due to an adjustment related to
recording such expense for performance shares. Finally, amounts accrued under bonus plans in the
second quarter of fiscal 2009 were less than in the same period in fiscal 2008 due to lower
projected income for the fiscal year 2009.

Our
provision for income taxes was $23.5 million for the second

primarily of a $20.8 million increase in the valuation allowance for certain deferred tax
assets. The provision for income taxes for the second quarters of
fiscal 2009 and 2008 reflected our
pre-tax loss based on our estimated annual effective tax rate. The variation between the
provision for income taxes and income taxes at the U.S. Federal
statutory rate of 35% was due to the
consolidation of our foreign operations, which are subject to income taxes at lower statutory

North America Microwave segment revenue increased by $1.0 million, or 1.6%, in the second
quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Revenue drivers in the
North America Microwave segment included customer demand for increased bandwidth and footprint
expansion and mixed-mode solutions as operators transition from legacy
networks to IP networks.
However, due to the economic slowdown and the tightening of credit among lending institutions,
customers may delay or decrease their overall spending allocated for network expansion in North
America. We believe some customers have delayed or decreased spending and have not necessarily
provided target dates or times as to when they expect to change their plans. Consequently, we are
unable to predict the impact of this on our business in North America.
Our North America Microwave segment had operating loss of $29.5 million in the second quarter
of fiscal 2009 primarily due to impairment charges for goodwill and the trade name Stratex of
$31.8 million and $0.7 million compared with an operating loss of $1.3 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 2008. The operating loss in the second quarter of
fiscal 2009 also included
deductions of approximately $1.6 million related to the acquisition
of Stratex, $0.2 million of
amortization of the fair value adjustments for fixed assets, $0.5 million for amortization of
developed technology, trade names and customer relationships and $0.9 million of restructuring
charges.
By
comparison, the operating loss for this segment in the second quarter
of fiscal 2008 included deductions of approximately $6.5 million related to the
acquisition of Stratex consisting of a $0.3 million of amortization of the fair
value adjustments for fixed assets, $0.7 million for amortization of developed technology, trade
names, customer relationships and non-compete agreements, and $4.3 million of restructuring
charges, $0.1 million in charges for impairment of a lease agreement and $1.1 million of
integration expenses undertaken in connection with the merger.
The North America Microwave segment operating results also included $0.3 million in
share-based compensation expense during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with $1.8
million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

International Microwave segment revenue increased by $10.4 million or 9.4% in the second
quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2008. This increase resulted from
growth in Africa ($10.2 million increase) and in Europe, Middle East and Russia ($15.9 million
increase) as customers in these regions continued to expand their
network infrastructures. Revenue
in Latin America and Asia Pacific declined by $15.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009
compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2008 due to the
procurement cycle of several large
mobile operators in the Asia Pacific region. Revenue from some of our customers may
fluctuate due to the timing of their specific procurement needs for
network expansion.
Due to the economic slowdown and the tightening of credit among lending institutions,
customers may delay or decrease their overall spending allocated for network expansion. In Europe,
Russia and Latin America, we believe some customers have delayed or decreased spending and have not
necessarily provided target dates or times as to when they expect to change their plans.
Consequently, we are unable to predict the impact of this on our
International Microwave segment business.
Our
International Microwave segment had an operating loss of $262.3 million in the second quarter
of fiscal 2009 primarily due to impairment charges for goodwill and the trade name Stratex of
$247.2 million and $21.3 million compared with an operating loss of $3.7 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 2008. The operating loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 also
included deductions of approximately $3.3 million for charges
related to the acquisition of Stratex consisting of $0.4 million
of amortization of the fair value adjustments for fixed assets, $2.7 million for amortization of
developed technology, trade names and customer relationships and $0.2 million of restructuring
charges. The effect of these charges on the International Microwave segment operating loss was
partially offset by the increase of $10.4 million in revenue compared with the same period in the
prior year.
By
comparison, the operating loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2008
included deductions of approximately $5.5 million related
to the acquisition of Stratex consisting of $0.4 million of amortization of the fair value adjustments for fixed
assets, $2.9 million for amortization of developed technology, trade names, customer relationships
and non-compete agreements, $0.1 million of restructuring charges and $2.1 million of integration
expenses associated with the merger.
We also recorded $0.1 million in share-based compensation expense in the second quarter of
fiscal 2009 and 2008 in our International Microwave segment.

Our revenue in the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 was $386.7 million, an increase of $33.3
million or 9.4%, compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2008. This increase in revenue
resulted from growth in Africa ($23.4 million increase) and in Europe, Middle East and Russia
($20.1 million increase) as customers in these regions continued to expand their network
infrastructures. Revenue in Latin America and Asia Pacific declined by $11.4 million in the first
two quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with the first two quarters of
fiscal 2008 due to the procurement cycle of several large mobile operators in the Asia Pacific region.
During the first two quarters of fiscal 2009, Mobile Telephone Networks or (MTN) of Africa
accounted for 12% of our total revenue and METCO accounted for
11% of our total revenue. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2008, MTN accounted for 12% of
our total revenue. The loss of either of these customers could
adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we announced a new restructuring plan (the Fiscal
2009 Plan) to reduce our workforce in Canada, Brazil and the U.S. During the first two quarters of
fiscal 2009, our restructuring charges totaled $4.4 million consisting of:
| Severance, retention and related charges associated with reduction in force activities totaling $4.6 million (Fiscal 2009 Plan). | ||
| Impairment of fixed assets (non-cash charges) totaling $0.4 million and facility restoration costs of $0.3 million at our Canadian location (Fiscal 2009 Plan). | ||
| Adjustments to the restructuring liability under our 2007 restructuring plans (the Fiscal 2007 Plans) for changes in estimates related to sub-tenant activity at our U.S. ($0.3 million) and Canadian locations ($0.3 million). | ||
| Adjustments to the restructuring liability under our 2007 restructuring plans for changes in estimates to reduce the severance liability in Canada ($0.3 million). |
During the first two quarters of fiscal 2008, we recorded an additional $8.4 million of
restructuring charges in connection with the implementation of our Fiscal 2007 Plans. During the
first two quarters of fiscal 2008, our restructuring charges consisted of:
| Severance, retention and related charges associated with reduction in force activities totaling $3.4 million. | ||
| Lease impairment charges totaling $1.9 million from implementation of Fiscal 2007 Plans and changes in estimates related to sub-tenant activity at our U.S. and Canadian locations. | ||
| Impairment of $2.3 million for the reduction in fair value of a recoverable value-added type tax in Brazil. | ||
| Impairment of $1.4 million for fixed assets at our Canadian location. | ||
| Adjustments to the restructuring liability under our 2007 restructuring plans for changes in estimates related to the amount of severance in Canada and France ($0.6 million). |
We estimate that we will record an additional $3.0 million in restructuring charges under the
Fiscal 2009 Plan during the second half of fiscal 2009. Additionally, we expect to announce further
restructuring plans during fiscal 2009.

compared with $96.0 million, or 27.2% of revenue in the first
two quarters of fiscal 2008. Gross
margin in the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 was reduced by $4.0
million consisting of $3.6 million for amortization of
developed technology and $0.4 million of amortization of the fair value of adjustments for fixed
assets acquired from Stratex. By comparison gross margin in the first two quarters
of fiscal 2008 was reduced by $9.1 million consisting of
$3.7 million in markdowns of inventory, $0.4 million of amortization of the fair value of
adjustments for fixed assets acquired from Stratex, $3.5 million of amortization of developed
technology and $1.5 million of merger integration costs.
Additionally, gross margin and gross margin percentage increased during the first two quarters
of fiscal 2009 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2008 due to higher revenue and an
improved product mix in our International Microwave segment. These increases were partially offset
by a higher mix of services revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the second
quarter of fiscal 2008. Gross margin from our services revenue is
lower than for products revenue.

of revenue, these expenses decreased from 6.6% in the first two quarters of fiscal 2008 to 5.1% in
the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 due to higher revenue and a decrease in spending. The
decrease in spending in the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with the first two quarters

As a percentage of revenue, these expenses decreased to 17.9% of revenue in the first two quarters
of fiscal 2009 from 18.4% of revenue in the first two quarters of fiscal 2008. The increase in S&A
expenses resulted from additional costs of $2.5 million incurred during the first quarter of fiscal
2009 in outside audit, accounting, legal and consulting services to complete the fiscal 2008 audit
and restatement of prior period financial statements, including first year SOX requirements and for
other legal expenses primarily related to patents. Additionally, higher selling costs from a $33.3
million increase in revenue during the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 and higher expenses from
opening new international sales offices and increases in staffing levels in finance and growth in
our Singapore office also contributed to the increase in S&A expenses. These increases were
partially offset by a decrease of $4.5 million in expenses for merger integration activities which
were completed prior to fiscal 2009. Additionally, share-based compensation expenses during the
first two quarters of fiscal 2009 were $2.0 million less than in the same period of fiscal 2008
which included an adjustment related to recording such expense for performance shares. Finally,
amounts accrued under bonus plans in the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 were less than in the
same period in fiscal 2008 due to lower projected income for the fiscal year 2009.

Our
provision for income taxes was $24.4 million for the first two

assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The provision for income taxes for the first two
quarters of fiscal 2009 and 2008 reflected our pre-tax loss based on our estimated annual effective
tax rate. The variation between the provision for income taxes and
income taxes at the U.S. Federal statutory
rate of 35% was due to the consolidation of our foreign operations, which are subject to income
taxes at lower statutory rates.

North America Microwave segment revenue increased by $5.9 million, or 4.9%, in the first two
quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2008. Revenue drivers in the
North America Microwave segment included customer demand for increased bandwidth and footprint
expansion and mixed-mode solutions as operators transition from legacy
networks to IP networks.
Our
North America Microwave segment had an operating loss of $27.9 million in the first two
quarters of fiscal 2009 primarily due to impairment charges for goodwill and the trade name
Stratex of $31.8 million and $0.7 million. This compares with an operating loss of $1.6 million
in the first two quarters of fiscal 2008. The operating loss in the first two quarters of fiscal
2009 also includes deductions of approximately $4.9 million for the
following amounts related to the acquisition of Stratex, $0.4
million of amortization of the fair value adjustments for fixed assets, $0.9 million for
amortization of developed technology, trade names and customer relationships and $3.6 million of
restructuring charges.
By
comparison, the operating loss for this segment in the first two
quarters of fiscal 2008 included approximately $12.9 million related to the acquisition of Stratex consisting of a $0.5 million of amortization of the fair
value adjustments for fixed assets, $1.3 million for amortization of developed technology, trade
names, customer relationships and non-compete agreements, and $8.1 million of restructuring
charges, $0.9 million in charges for impairment of a lease agreement and $2.1 million of

Related Party Transactions with Harris
Pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement, Harris provides various services to us and
charges are based primarily on actual usage. These services include database management, supply
chain operating systems, eBusiness services, sales and service, financial systems, back office
material resource planning support, HR systems, internal and information systems shared services
support, network management and help desk support, and server administration and support. Harris
charged us $1.8 million and $1.7 million for these services during the quarters ended January 2,
2009 and December 28, 2007, and $3.3 million and $3.4 million during the two quarters ended January
2, 2009 and December 28, 2007.
We have sales to, and purchases from, other Harris entities from time to time. These purchases
and sales are recorded at market price. Our sales to Harris entities were $1.0 million and $3.7
million for the quarters ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007 and $1.9 million and $4.9
million for the two quarters ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007. We also recognized costs
associated with related party purchases from Harris of
$0.6 million and $3.3 million for the
quarters ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007 and
$1.9 million and $3.6 million for the two
quarters ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007.
The unpaid amounts billed from Harris are included within Due to Harris Corporation on our
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, we have other receivables and payables in the
normal course of business with Harris. These amounts are netted
within Due from Harris Corporation
on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total receivables from
Harris were $4.8 million and
$4.0 million as of January 2, 2009 and June 27, 2008.
Total payables to Harris were $3.1 million
and $20.8 million as of January 2, 2009 and June 27, 2008.
Prior to January 26, 2007, the date of our merger with Stratex Networks, Inc., we used certain
assets in Canada owned by Harris that were not contributed to us as part of the merger. We continue
to use these assets in our business and entered into a 5-year lease agreement to accommodate this
use. This agreement is a capital lease under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As of
January 2, 2009, our lease obligation to Harris was $2.1 million of which $1.1 million is a current
liability and the related asset amount, net of accumulated amortization of $1.6 million, is
included in property, plant and equipment. Quarterly lease payments are due to Harris based on the
amount of 103% of Harris annual depreciation calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
During
the first two quarters of fiscal 2009, we paid Harris $0.5 million
under this capital lease obligation for the lease payments. During the
first two quarters of fiscal 2008, we paid Harris $2.0 million under this capital lease obligation
resulting from the $1.3 million impairment discussed above and for the lease payments.
During the first two quarters of fiscal 2008, we recognized an impairment charge of $1.3
million on a portion of these Canadian assets which is included in our restructuring charges. We
also recognized an increase of $0.4 million to the lease obligation balance during the first two
quarters of fiscal 2008 from a recapitalization under the lease terms, primarily because of the
impairment charge
27
Table of Contents
and a rescheduling of the lease payments. Our
amortization expense on this capital lease was $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the quarters ended
January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007 and $0.6 million and $0.9 million for the two quarters ended
January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of three
months or less as of the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents
increased by $2.7 million to $97.7 million during the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 compared
with a $3.8 million increase during the first two quarters of fiscal 2008.
During the two quarters ended
January 2, 2009, our cash balances decreased by $6.5 million, primarily as a result of a decline in the foreign
currency exchange rates of the Canadian Dollar, Polish Zloty, Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso to the U.S. Dollar.
To the extent that exchange rates associated with these foreign currencies decline further, we could be subject
to further decreases in our cash balances upon translation to US Dollars. However, we continue to believe
that our existing cash balances, even in light of the foreign currency volatility we are experiencing, are
adequate to meet our liquidity and working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
We currently believe that existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, funds
generated from operations and access to our credit facility will be sufficient to provide for our
anticipated requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for the next 12 months and
the foreseeable future.
If we are unable to maintain cash balances
or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our
obligations and meet our anticipated requirements for working capital
and capital expenditures, we may be required to
sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, or obtain additional financing. If we need to obtain additional
financing, we cannot be assured that it will be available on favorable terms, or at all. Our
ability to make scheduled principal payments or pay interest on or refinance any future
indebtedness depends on our future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent,
are subject to general conditions in or affecting the microwave communications market and to
general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our
control.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net
cash and cash equivalents provided by our operating activities totaled $16.4 million during
the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 compared with $12.1 million provided by operating activities
during the first two quarters of fiscal 2008. Operating cash flow in the first two quarters of
fiscal 2009 benefited from a $20.6 million decrease in receivables, and a $2.8 million increase in
advance payments and unearned income. Increases to operating cash flow were partially offset by an
increase of $26.2 million in inventories and unbilled costs, an $8.7 million decrease in amounts due
to Harris and a $5.1 million decrease in restructuring liabilities and other during the first two
quarters of fiscal 2009.
Inventories increased
by $17.2 million during the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 primarily due to the deferral to the second half
of fiscal 2009 of shipments to certain customers in Africa and the Middle East. Unbilled costs increased by
$8.9 million during the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 primarily due to the deferral to
the second half of fiscal 2009 of certain long-term contracts in North America. The $8.7 million decrease
in the amount due to Harris resulted from payments made to become current on our accounts in the normal
course of business. The decrease of $5.5 million in restructuring payments and other was primarily due
to the payment of regularly scheduled payments under obligations incurred under restructuring activities.
Net cash provided by our operating activities was $12.1 million in the first two quarters of
fiscal 2008. Operating cash flow in the first two quarters of fiscal 2008 was positively affected
by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses ($7.1 million), an increase in advance
payments and unearned income ($5.5 million) and other cash flow from operations. These increases to
operating cash flow were partially offset by an increase of $20.7 million in receivables during the
first two fiscal quarters of fiscal 2008.
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities
Net cash used in our investing activities was $7.9 million during the first two quarters of
fiscal 2009 compared with $0.3 million provided by investing activities during the first two
quarters of fiscal 2008. Investing activities during the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 included
$1.2 million in purchases of short-term investments, $2.2 million of additions of capitalized
software and $7.2 million of additions of property, plant and equipment. These uses of cash in
investing activities during the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 were partially offset by the
receipt of $2.7 million in proceeds from the sale and maturity of short-term investments.
Net cash used in investing activities in the first two quarters of fiscal 2008 included $4.4
million in purchases of short-term investments, $6.5 million of additions of capitalized software
primarily for the purchase and implementation of new enterprise-wide information systems and $3.6
million of additions of property, plant and equipment. These uses of cash in investing activities
during the first two quarters of fiscal 2008 were more than offset by the receipt of $14.8 million
in proceeds from the sale and maturity of short-term investments.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities
Net cash provided by our financing activities during the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 was
$0.7 million compared with $7.9 million used in financing activities during the first two quarters
of fiscal 2008. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2009, we used our cash for the repayment of
$8.8 million of long-term debt upon obtaining a new credit facility. We obtained cash from
short-term borrowings of $10.0 million under the new credit facility to pay-off this long-term
debt. We also made a payment of $0.5 million to reduce the long-term capital lease obligation with
Harris during the first two quarters of fiscal 2009.
The net cash used in financing activities in the first two quarters of fiscal 2008 largely
related to the repayment of $1.2 million in short-term debt, payment of $2.0 million on our capital
lease obligation to Harris and $5.6 million in principal payments on long-term debt. We also
received $0.9 million in proceeds from the exercise of former Stratex options.
Sources of Liquidity
As of January 2, 2009, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $99.3 million in cash,
cash equivalents and short-term investments and $52.4 million of available credit under our $70
million credit facility, described below.
Available Credit Facility and Repayment of Debt
As of January 2, 2009 we had $52.4 million of credit available against our $70 million
revolving credit facility with two commercial banks as described in Note I under Item 1, Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The total amount of revolving credit available as of
January 2, 2009 was $70 million less short-term debt of $10.0 million drawn under the revolving
credit portion of the facility and $7.6 million outstanding in standby letters of credit as of that
date, which are defined as usage under the revolving credit portion of the facility. There were no
long-term borrowings under the facility as of January 2, 2009.
Our debt consisted of the following as of January 2, 2009 and June 27, 2008:
January 2, 2009 | June 27, 2008 | |||||||
(In millions) | ||||||||
Long-term borrowings |
$ | | $ | 8.8 | ||||

Less short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt |
(10.0 | ) | (5.0 | ) | ||||
Long-term debt outstanding |
$ | | $ | 3.8 | ||||
The $10.0 million in short-term borrowings outstanding under the credit facility as of January
2, 2009 are demand borrowings with no stated maturity date and may be repaid at any time before the
expiry date of the facility without penalty. There are no immediate plans to repay this amount. The
credit facility expires on June 29, 2011.
Based on covenants included as part of the credit facility we are required to maintain, as
measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a minimum liquidity ratio and a maximum
leverage ratio. The liquidity ratio is defined as the ratio of total unrestricted cash and
equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities plus 50% of total monetary
receivables to outstanding loans and letter of credit obligations under the facility. The leverage
ratio is defined as the ratio of consolidated EBITDA for the four
fiscal quarters most recently ended to toal funded indebtedness. The impairments we recognized during the second quarter of
fiscal 2009 totaling $301.0 million for goodwill and the trade name Stratex did not adversely
affect the calculations of our financial covenants under the credit facility. As of January 2,
2009, we were in compliance with these financial covenants. We anticipate that we will
be able to maintain compliance with these financial covenants for the foreseeable future.
Liability for Restructuring Activities
We had total liability for restructuring activities of $8.3 million as of January 2, 2009, of
which $4.5 million was classified as a current liability and expected to be paid in cash over the
next 12 months. Furthermore, we expect to announce additional restructuring charges during fiscal 2009
which may be paid during fiscal 2009 and beyond.
Contractual Obligations
The
amounts disclosed in our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K included our
contractual cash obligations as of June 27, 2008 for repayment of debt and related
interest, purchase obligations to acquire goods and services, payments for operating lease
commitments, obligations to Harris, payments on our restructuring and severance liabilities,
redemption of our preference shares and payment of the related required dividend payments and other
current liabilities on our balance sheet in the normal course of business. During the two
quarters ended January 2, 2009, no material changes occurred in
our contractual obligations, except for purchase obligations.
Purchase obligations increased to $50.5 million as of January 2, 2009
from $23.2 million as of June 27, 2008 primarily due to increased
commitments to purchase finished products from our contract suppliers.

Table of Contents
Commercial Commitments
We have entered into commercial commitments in the normal course of business including surety
bonds, standby letters of credit and other arrangements with financial institutions and insurers
primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain tenders and contracts to
provide products and services to customers. During the two quarters ended January 2, 2009, our
commercial commitments and contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit, guarantees and
other arrangements increased to $62.4 million from $50.5 million as of June 27, 2008, primarily due
to an increase in bids bonds in North America and an increase in performance bonds internationally
of which $6.3 million pertains to a contract in Saudi Arabia.
Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The application of U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. In many instances, we could
have reasonably used different accounting estimates. In other instances, changes in the accounting
estimates from period to period are reasonably likely to occur. Accordingly, actual results could
differ significantly from the estimates made by management. To the extent that there are material
differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation
of our financial condition or results of operations may be affected.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue
recognition, provision for doubtful accounts and sales returns, provision for inventory
obsolescence, fair value of investments, fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill,
useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, income taxes, restructuring
obligations, product warranty obligations, and contingencies and litigation, among others. We base
our estimates on historical experience, our assessment of current factors impacting the estimates
and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We refer to accounting estimates of
this type as critical accounting estimates.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and accompanying Notes are
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preparing financial
statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the
application of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note B
Significant Accounting Policies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K. Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that require
application of managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of
matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting
policies and estimates for us include: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) provisions for excess and
obsolete inventory losses, (iii) goodwill and intangible assets, and (iv) income taxes and tax
valuation allowances. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates,
see our Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in
our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
As described in Note B Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements in the
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, there are accounting pronouncements that have
recently been issued but have not yet been implemented by us. Note B describes the potential impact
that these pronouncements are expected to have on our financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
In the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to the risks associated with foreign
currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. We employ established policies and
procedures governing the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.
Exchange Rate Risk
We use foreign exchange contracts to hedge both balance sheet and off-balance sheet future
foreign currency commitments. Generally, these foreign exchange contracts offset foreign currency
denominated monetary assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable from customers and
intercompany loans, customer orders in backlog and purchase commitments from suppliers. We believe
the use of foreign currency financial instruments should reduce the risks that arise from doing
business in international markets. As of January 2, 2009, we had open foreign exchange contracts
with a notional amount of $72.4 million, of which $11.4 million were designated as hedges under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities (Statement 133) and $61.0 million were not designated as Statement 133
hedges. That compares with total foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of $80.4 million
as of June 27, 2008, of which $19.2 million
30
Table of Contents
were designated as Statement 133 hedges and $61.2 million were not designated as Statement 133
hedges. As of January 2, 2009, contract expiration dates ranged from less than one month to three
months with a weighted average contract life of approximately two months. The foreign exchange
contracts designated as Statement 133 hedges have been used primarily to hedge currency exposures
from customer orders currently in backlog that are denominated in non-functional currencies.
As of January 2, 2009, we estimated that pre-tax income of $0.5 million would be reclassified
into earnings from accumulated other comprehensive income within the next three months related to
these cash flow hedges. The net gain or loss included in our earnings representing the amount of
hedge ineffectiveness during the fiscal quarters ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007 was
not significant.
We recognize in earnings any portion of a derivatives change in fair value which is assessed
as ineffective in accordance with the provisions of Statement 133. The amount recognized in our
earnings related to the component of the derivative instruments gain or loss excluded from the
assessment of hedge effectiveness during the second quarters of fiscal 2009 and 2008 was a $0.1
million loss and zero. The amount recognized in our earnings related to the component of the
derivative instruments gain or loss excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness during the
first two quarters of fiscal 2009 and 2008 was a $0.3 million loss and zero. All of these
derivatives were recorded at their fair value on our consolidated balance sheet in accordance with
Statement 133. Factors that could impact the effectiveness of our hedging programs for foreign
currency include accuracy of sales estimates, volatility of currency markets and the cost and
availability of hedging instruments.
A 10% adverse change in currency exchange rates for our foreign currency derivatives held as
of January 2, 2009 would have an impact of approximately $6.0 million on the fair value of such
instruments. This quantification of exposure to the market risk associated with foreign exchange
financial instruments does not take into account the offsetting impact of changes in the fair value
of our foreign denominated assets, liabilities and firm commitments.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash
equivalents, short-term investments and bank debt borrowings.
Exposure on Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments
We do not use derivative financial instruments in our short-term investment portfolio. We
invest in high-credit quality issues and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one
issuer and country. The portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or
resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. The portfolio is also diversified by maturity to
ensure that funds are readily available as needed to meet our liquidity needs. This policy reduces
the potential need to sell securities in order to meet liquidity needs and therefore the potential
effect of changing market rates on the value of securities sold.
Our investment policy specifically excludes investments in auction rate or asset backed
securities. All money market funds we utilize at banks and financial institutions are rated as
prime and subject to federal regulations governing such funds. The money market funds we invest in
have not been revalued below $1 per share or experienced liquidity issues.
We had $99.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of January 2,
2009. Short-term investments were $1.6 million as of January 2, 2009. As of January 2, 2009,
short-term investments had contractual maturities ranging from less
than one month to seven months.
The primary objective of our short-term investment activities is to preserve principal while
maximizing yields, without significantly increasing risk. Our cash equivalents and short-term
investments earn interest at fixed rates; therefore, changes in interest rates will not generate a
gain or loss on these investments unless they are sold prior to maturity. Actual gains and losses
due to the sale of our investments prior to maturity have not been material. The weighted average
days to maturity for our cash equivalents and short-term investments as of January 2, 2009 was 8
days, and these investments had an average yield of 1.66% per annum.
As of January 2, 2009, unrealized losses on our investments were not significant. Cash
equivalents and short-term investments have been recorded at fair value on our balance sheet.
Exposure on Bank Debt Borrowings
On June 30, 2008, we entered into a new revolving credit facility with two banks (the New
Facility) for an initial committed amount of $70 million. As of that date, we repaid $8.8 million
in long-term debt outstanding with the proceeds of a $10 million short-term borrowing under the New
Facility. Under the New Facility, interest on our borrowings will be at either the greater of the
banks prime rate or the Fed Funds rate plus 0.5% (for demand borrowings) or at LIBOR plus 1.25%
(for fixed rate Eurodollar borrowings). We had $10 million in short-term demand borrowings under
the New Facility as of January 2, 2009 bearing interest at the banks prime rate of 3.25%. A 10%
change in interest rates on the current borrowings or on future borrowings are not expected to have
a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows since interest on
our short-term debt is not material to our overall financial position.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting for the Company, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Because of its inherent limitations, systems of internal control over financial reporting can
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of
certain of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of January 2, 2009 because
of the continued existence of the material weakness related to project cost variances and account
reconciliations as described in Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 27, 2008
(Managements Report).
To address our material weaknesses related to project cost variances and account
reconciliations, in September 2008, we began dedicating significant in-house and external resources
to implement enhancements to remediate these material weaknesses. During the closing of our books
for the quarter ended January 2, 2009, we performed additional account reconciliation procedures
and reviews to address the risks associated with the material weaknesses. The material weaknesses
will continue to exist until the following remediation steps are fully implemented:
Project Cost Variances
| Management will generate and review a project work in process exposure report each quarter to ensure work in process is properly relieved of costs. | ||
| Management will train the appropriate associates in the methods of review of the project costs and will create a high-level awareness of the importance of thorough project cost reviews. | ||
| Management will ensure the timely closing of projects. | ||
| Management will ensure that project costs are properly reconciled and evaluated for aging balances on a quarterly basis. |
Account Reconciliations
| Management will complete the on-going implementation of software tools to track the account reconciliation process. | ||
| Management will institute the processes necessary to ensure the timely completion of account reconciliations supported by a sub-ledger or other independent documentation or calculation. | ||
| Management will dedicate appropriate resources to ensure thorough and timely reviews of account reconciliations and resolution of aged balances and reconciling items. |
The effectiveness of these control changes has not been fully evaluated as of January 2, 2009.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses
As discussed above, as of January 2, 2009, we identified material weaknesses in our internal
control over project cost variances and account reconciliations. We are currently addressing these
material weaknesses and expect to have these material weaknesses remediated by July 3, 2009.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as otherwise discussed above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over
financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended January 2, 2009, that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Descriptions of our legal proceedings are contained in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Investors should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors which
could materially affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition set
forth under Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K.
Other
than the new risk factors below, we do not believe that there have been any other
material additions or changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Fiscal 2008 Form
10-K. However, we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to
time in our future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to
us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.
The effects of the recession in the United States and general downturn in the global economy,
including financial market disruptions, could have an adverse impact on our business, operating
results or financial condition.
The United States economy is in recession and there has been a general downturn in the global
economy. A continuation or worsening of these conditions, including the ongoing credit and capital
markets disruptions, could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results or financial
condition in a number of ways. For example:
| We may experience declines in revenues, profitability and cash flows as a result of reduced orders, payment delays or other factors caused by the economic problems of our customers and prospective customers. | ||
| We may experience supply chain delays, disruptions or other problems associated with financial constraints faced by our suppliers and subcontractors. | ||
| We may incur increased costs or experience difficulty either in making future borrowings under our credit facility or otherwise in obtaining financing for our operating activities, investing activities (including the financing of any future acquisitions) or financing activities. |
Sales by Harris of its
interest in us could result in offers for shares of Class A common stock, the terms of which have been
negotiated solely by Harris, and could adversely affect the price and
liquidity of our Class A common stock.
Harris agreement
with us not to buy or sell our common stock expired January 26, 2009.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, Harris announced that it is evaluating strategic alternatives related to it ownership interest in
its Class B common stock including A spin - off or sale of all or a
part of such shares. Harris has also announced that it expects to
provide further details regarding its ownership in us during the
third quarter of fiscal 2009. Harris is permitted
to transfer an amount of such stock conferring control of our company to a new shareholder prior to
January 26, 2011 so long as the buyer offers to acquire all the outstanding voting shares not owned by Harris on
the same terms offered to Harris, or the non-Harris directors approve the
transfer by Harris in advance. However, our non-Harris stockholders will have
no role in determining the identity of the buyer and the amount and type of
consideration to be offered to our Class A common stockholders or any other terms of the transaction. Such an
offer may not be at a price that reflects the optimum value of a share of
Class A common stock, particularly in light of current economic and stock
market conditions. In addition, future liquidity options for our minority
stockholders after the sale of control by Harris might be limited if they
elect to decline the offer made on the same terms offered to Harris.
If Harris sells all of its Class B common stock to a single buyer, Harris rights and
obligations under its existing investor agreement with us may not be assumed by,
the buyer, in which case some of the corporate governance provisions of that agreement would no
longer apply.
Harris has agreed to require a buyer which purchases Class B common stock from Harris
constituting a majority of our outstanding stock to offer the same consideration paid to Harris to
our Class A stockholders unless this offer is waived by our Class A directors. If the buyer is not
required to make an offer for our Class A common stock or make such an offer but it is not accepted
by all of our Class A common stockholders, then any remaining holders of our Class A common stock
will be minority investors in a company that is majority owned and controlled by a buyer selected
only by Harris. Our investor agreement with Harris does not require the buyer to assume Harris
obligations under that agreement. If the buyer does not agree to assume those obligations, then
some of the corporate governance provisions in our investor agreement with Harris would not apply
to the buyer. These include Harris obligations:
| to cast its controlling votes for the election as Class A directors of the four individuals nominated by an independent nominating committee consisting solely of the Class A directors then in office, | ||
| prior to January 26, 2011 to cause any buyer of shares entitled to cast a majority of the total voting power of all of our outstanding shares to offer to purchase all of our outstanding Class A common stock on the same terms and conditions unless this requirement is waived by our Class A directors, | ||
| prior to January 26, 2011 not to acquire shares that would cause Harris total voting power to exceed 80% of the total voting power of all of our outstanding shares, unless approved by the Class A directors, and | ||
| to maintain independent directors on the audit, nominating and compensation committees of our board of directors. |
In addition, the buyer would have the unilateral ability to amend our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws, including to eliminate the Class A directors and to give the buyer the right to elect
all of our directors.
Our stock price may be
volatile, which may lead to losses by investors.
Announcements of developments
related to our business, announcements by competitors, quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and
general conditions in the telecommunications industry in which we compete, or the economies of the countries
in which we do business and other factors could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate, perhaps
substantially. In addition, in recent years the stock market has experienced extreme price
fluctuations, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of affected
companies. These factors and fluctuations could lower the market price of our common
stock. Our stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ Global Market. In addition, if
Harris elects to distribute its shares of Class B common stock to Harris stockholders
in order to carry out its announced plan to dispose of all or part of such
shares, they will automatically convert to shares of Class A common stock
that in general will be freely tradable on the market. Following such a
distribution there could be a substantial increase in sales of our common
stock due to Harris stockholders seeking to dispose of the newly distributed shares, which could depress our stock price.
Termination of our transitional services agreements with Harris before we have established our own fully independent administrative and other support functions could impair our ability to operate our business effectively and materially increase our general and administrative expenses.
On January 26, 2007, we completed our merger with Stratex Networks, Inc. Prior to the merger, we were a division of Harris Corporation and we relied on administrative and other resources of Harris to operate our business. In connection with the merger, we entered into a transition services agreement with Harris to retain the
ability to use these Harris resources at our option, some for a specified term, which pursuant to an amendment in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, will expire October 31, 2009. Pursuant to the transition services agreement, Harris provides us with database management, supply chain systems, sales and service, financial systems, HR systems, internal and information systems shared services support, network management and
help desk support, and server administration and support, and charges us for these services at a stipulated rate based on our actual usage. This agreement can be terminated by either party upon 90 days prior written notice. We must be able to replace these services prior to termination of the transition services agreement. It is likely that replacing these services will require new capital expenditures and that our costs
for these services may increase once we are no longer receiving these services from Harris under the current agreement. This could adversely affect our operating results and cash flows going forward.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Our 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders was held on November 20, 2008. A total of 55,461,007
of our outstanding shares were represented in person or by proxy at the meeting. This represented
approximately 95% of our shares issued, outstanding and entitled to be voted at the 2008 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders. There were 1,243,877 broker non-votes.
Proposal 1: Shareholders elected four Class A nominees and five Class B nominees to our Board
of Directors for a one-year term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2009, or until
their successors are elected and qualified. The vote tabulation for individual directors was:
