McArthur, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Harris, and other members of Harris’ management will provide presentations about Harris and its various lines of business to investors and analysts.

Cautionary Language Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.

     The presentations include forward-looking statements that reflect management’s current expectations, assumptions, and estimates of future performance and economic conditions. Such statements are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements in the presentations include but are not limited to statements concerning: our plans, strategies and objectives for future operations or results; new products, services or developments; future economic conditions, performance or outlook; the outcome of contingencies; our beliefs or expectations; activities that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future; earnings and revenue guidance; the potential value of contract awards; and statements regarding outlook, including expected revenue, earnings and orders for Harris and its business units; and assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements may be identified by use of words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “intends,” “plans,” “target,” “forecast,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” or similar words or expressions. Harris cautions investors that any forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results and future trends to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Harris’ consolidated results and the forward-looking statements could be affected by many factors, including but not limited to: the loss of our relationship with the U.S. government or a shift in U.S. government funding; potential changes in U.S. government or customer priorities; risks inherent with large long-term fixed-price contracts, particularly the ability to contain cost overruns; financial and government and regulatory risks relating to international sales and operations; our ability to continue to develop new products that achieve market acceptance; the consequences of future geo-political events; strategic acquisitions and the risks and uncertainties related thereto, including our ability to manage and integrate acquired businesses; performance of our subcontractors and suppliers; potential claims that we are infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties; the successful resolution of patent infringement claims and the ultimate outcome of other contingencies, litigation and legal matters; risks inherent in developing new technologies; changes in our effective tax rate; the potential impact of natural disasters or other disruptions on our operations; the potential impact of a security breach, through cyber attack or otherwise, or other significant disruptions of our IT networks and systems or those we operate for customers; the potential impact of satellite bandwidth constraints on our managed satellite communications services; changes in future business conditions that could cause business investments and/or recorded goodwill to become impaired; and a general downturn in the global economy. Further information relating to factors that may impact Harris’ results and forward-looking statements are disclosed in Harris’ filings with the SEC. The forward-looking statements contained in the presentations are made as of the date of the presentations, and Harris disclaims any intention or obligation, other than imposed by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
