PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
THE COMPANY

Harris Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in 1926 as the successor to
three companies founded in the 1890's. The executive offices of the Company are
located at 1025 W. NASA Boulevard, Melbourne, Florida 32919, and the telephone
number is (407) 727-9100.

Harris Corporation, along with its subsidiaries (hereinafter called
"Harris" or the "Company"), is a worldwide company focused on four core
businesses: advanced electronic systems, semiconductors, communications and an
office equipment distribution network.

The Company's four core businesses were carried out during fiscal 1996
through three business sectors and a subsidiary, which correspond to its
business segments used for financial reporting purposes: Communications Sector,
Semiconductor Sector, Lanier Worldwide, Inc. and Electronic Systems Sector.
Harris structures its operations primarily around the markets it serves. Its
operating divisions, which are the basic operating units, have been organized on
the basis of technology and markets. For the most part, each operating division
has its own marketing, engineering, manufacturing and service organizations.
Reference is made to the Note Business Segments in the Notes to Financial
Statements for further information with respect to business sectors and the
subsidiary.

Total sales in fiscal 1996 increased to $3.6 billion from $3.4 billion a
year earlier. Total sales in the United States were relatively unchanged while
international sales, which amounted to 33 percent of the corporate total,
increased 19 percent. Net income increased 15 percent to $178.4 million from
$154.5 million.

The Company's three business sectors and the subsidiary and their principal
products are as follows:

Communications Sector: produces broadcast, radio-communication, and
telecommunication products and systems, including transmitters and studio
equipment for radio and television, Digital TV (formerly HDTV), HF, VHF and UHF
radio-communication equipment, microwave radios, digital telephone switches,
telephone subscriber-loop equipment, and in-building paging equipment.

Semiconductor Sector: produces advanced analog, digital and mixed-signal
integrated circuits and discrete semiconductors for power, signal processing,
data-acquisition, and logic applications for automotive systems, wireless
communications, telecommunications line cards, video and imaging systems,
industrial equipment, computer peripherals, and military and aerospace systems.

Lanier Worldwide, Inc.: sells, distributes, services, supports and provides
supplies for copying systems, facsimile systems and networks, dictation systems,
optical-based electronic-image management systems, continuous recording systems
and PC-based health care management systems.

Electronic Systems Sector: engages in advanced design and development, and
produces leading-edge information processing and communication systems and
software for defense, air traffic, aerospace, energy management, law
enforcement, and newspaper composition market applications.

The financial results shown in the tables on page 2 are presented to comply
with current financial accounting standards relating to business segment
reporting. Information concerning the identifiable assets of the Company's
business segments is contained in the Note Business Segments in the Notes to
Financial Statements. In calculating operating profit, allocations of certain
expenses among the business segments involve the exercise of business judgment.
Intersegment sales are accounted for at prices comparable to those paid by
unaffiliated customers.

foreign and domestic commercial and industrial firms, radio and TV broadcasters,
telephone companies, governmental and military agencies, utilities, construction
companies and oil producers.

In general, these products are sold and serviced domestically directly to
customers through the sales organizations of the operating divisions and through
established distribution channels. Internationally, the sector markets and sells
its products and services through established distribution channels. See
"International Business."

The backlog of unfilled orders for this segment of Harris' business was
$343 million at June 30, 1996, substantially all of which is expected to be
filled during the 1997 fiscal year, compared with $309 million a year earlier.

SEMICONDUCTOR

The Semiconductor Sector of the Company produces advanced analog, digital,
power and mixed-signal integrated circuits and discrete semiconductors for
data-acquisition, signal processing, logic and power applications that demand
the highest levels of performance in terms of speed, precision, low power
consumption and reliability, often in harsh environments.

Sales in fiscal 1996 for this business segment increased 7 percent to
$707.7 million from $658.7 million in fiscal 1995. The sector's operating profit
was $101.0 million in fiscal 1996, compared with $83.0 million in fiscal 1995.
The sector contributed 20 percent of Company sales in fiscal 1996 and 19 percent
of Company sales in fiscal 1995.

The sector produces discrete-power products, including MOS (metal oxide
semiconductors) power devices, transistors, rectifiers, power control circuits
and transient suppression products. The sector pioneered development of
"intelligent-power" technology which permits the combination of analog, logic
and power circuits on the same chip. In addition to industrial and electronic
data processing (EDP) applications for motor controllers and power supplies,
these products are widely used in automotive electronic systems, such as
automotive ignition systems, anti-lock braking and engine controls, and
instrument displays.

The sector is a major supplier of devices addressing the communications
market through the provision of complex functions, including wireless, broadband
and data conversion components. In addition, the sector is a leader in
mixed-signal telecommunication line card applications, including SLICs
(subscriber line interface circuits), CODECs (Coder/Decoder), and cross-point
switches used in private-branch-exchange (PBX) systems and of other circuits for
cellular communications, high resolution medical imaging, broadcast and
interactive cable video, and military radar systems.

The sector is a major supplier of integrated circuits and discrete devices
to the military and aerospace markets, with an emphasis on commercial and
military space applications, and radiation hardened circuits. The sector also
supplies custom and semicustom integrated circuits, known as application
specific integrated circuits (ASICs), designed for high-performance commercial
and military applications. The sector's circuits are based on CMOS
(complementary metal oxide semiconductor), bipolar analog, power analog/digital
and other process technologies.

Principal customers for the sector's products include video imaging, EDP,
communications, telephone, industrial, medical and other electronic equipment
manufacturers, automobile manufacturers, defense contractors and U.S. government
agencies. In general, these products are sold directly to customers through a
worldwide sales organization, which includes independent manufacturers'
representatives, and to distributors, who, in turn, resell to their customers.
Internationally, this sector also sells through distributors. See "International
Business."

The integrated circuit industry and technology are characterized by intense
competition and rapid advances in product performance. In addition to its own
research and development, Harris is a party to technology development and
exchange agreements with other companies to develop new and expanded
technologies.

The backlog of unfilled orders for this segment of Harris' business was
$356 million at June 30, 1996, substantially all of which is expected to be
filled during the 1997 fiscal year, compared with $354 million a year earlier.

LANIER WORLDWIDE

Lanier Worldwide, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris which
markets, sells, and services office equipment and business communication
products.

Sales in fiscal 1996 for this business segment increased 9 percent to
$1,117.2 million from $1,024.8 million in fiscal year 1995. Operating profit was
$120.7 million, up from $105.7 million last year. Lanier Worldwide contributed
31 percent of Company sales in fiscal 1996 and 30 percent in 1995.

Through a global network of direct sales and service centers and authorized
dealers, Lanier Worldwide provides copying, dictation, continuous recording,
facsimile products and systems and multi-functional devices. The subsidiary also
provides facilities management operations and other related services. Lanier
Worldwide leases certain of these products to customers on a short-term basis.

Due to the nature of its business, backlog of unfilled orders is not
considered significant to an understanding of this segment's business.

ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS

The Electronic Systems Sector of Harris is composed of several operating
divisions and is engaged in advanced research, design, development and
production of advanced information processing and communication systems and
sub-systems for government and commercial organizations in the United States and
overseas. Applications of the sector's state-of-the-art technologies include air
traffic control, advanced aerospace products, energy management systems, testing
of complex electronics systems, newspaper composition and information management
systems.

The Electronic Systems Sector is a major supplier of advanced-technology
and electronic systems to the United States Department of Defense, the Federal
Aviation Administration, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Federal
Bureau of Investigation and other federal and local government agencies,
aircraft manufacturers, airports, electric utilities, newspapers and publishing
houses.

Sales in fiscal 1996 for this business segment decreased 8 percent to
$954.7 million from $1,035.8 million in fiscal 1995. Operating profit of $76.7
million decreased from $95.5 million in the previous year. This sector
contributed 26 percent of Company sales in fiscal 1996 and 30 percent in 1995.

The sector is a leading supplier of air-traffic control communication
systems. The sector is also a major supplier of custom aircraft and spaceborne
communication and information processing systems, a leading supplier of
terrestrial and satellite communication systems and a preeminent supplier of
super-high-frequency military satellite ground terminals for the Department of
Defense.

The sector is a major supplier of custom ground-based systems and software
designed to collect, store, retrieve, process, analyze, display and distribute
information for government, defense and law enforcement applications, including
meteorological data processing systems and range management information systems.
The sector also provides computer controlled electronic maintenance, logistic,
simulation and test systems for military aircraft, ships and ground vehicles.

The sector is a worldwide supplier of energy management and distribution
automation systems for electric utilities and information-processing systems for
newspapers and publishing houses.

Most of the sales of this sector are made directly or indirectly to the
United States government under contracts or subcontracts containing standard
government clauses providing for redetermination of profits, if applicable, and
for termination for the convenience of the government or for default of the
contractor. These sales consist of a variety of contracts and programs with
various governmental agencies, with no single program accounting for 10 percent
or more of total Harris sales.

The backlog of unfilled orders for this segment of Harris' business was
$607 million at June 30, 1996, substantially all of which is expected to be
filled during the 1997 fiscal year, compared with $568 million a year earlier.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

Sales in fiscal 1996 of products exported from the United States or
manufactured abroad were $1,206 million or 33 percent of the corporate total,
compared with $1,016 million or 30 percent of the corporate total in fiscal 1995
and $982 million (29 percent) in fiscal 1994. Exports from the United States,
principally to Europe and Asia, totalled $632 million or 52 percent of the
international sales in fiscal 1996, $525 million or 52 percent of the
international sales in fiscal 1995 and $388 million or 40 percent in fiscal 1994
of the international sales.

Foreign operations represented 16 percent of consolidated net sales and 21
percent of consolidated total assets as of June 30, 1996. Electronic products
and systems are produced principally in the United States and international
electronic revenues are derived primarily from exports. Semiconductor assembly
facilities are located in Malaysia and Ireland and electronic products assembly
facilities are located in Canada and England.

International marketing activities are conducted through subsidiaries which
operate in Canada, Europe, Central and South America, Asia and Australia.
Reference is made to Exhibit 21 "Subsidiaries of the Registrant" for further
information regarding foreign subsidiaries.

Harris utilizes indirect sales channels, including dealers, distributors
and sales representatives, in the marketing and sale of some lines of products
and equipment, both domestically and internationally. These independent
representatives may buy for resale, or, in some cases, solicit orders from
commercial or governmental customers for direct sales by Harris. Prices to the
ultimate customer in many instances may be recommended or established by the
independent representative and may be on a basis which is above or below the
Company's list prices. Such independent representative generally receives a
discount from the Company's list prices and may mark-up such prices in setting
the final sales prices paid by the customer. During the fiscal year, orders came
from a large number of foreign countries, no one of which accounted for five
percent of total orders.

Certain of Harris' exports are paid for by letters of credit, with the
balance either on an open account or installment note basis. Advance payments,
progress payments or other similar payments received prior to or upon shipment
often cover most of the related costs incurred. Performance guarantees by the
Company are generally required on significant foreign government contracts.

The particular economic, social and political conditions for business
conducted outside the United States differ from those encountered by domestic
business. Management believes that the composite business risk for the
international business as a whole is somewhat greater than that faced by its
domestic operations as a whole. International business may subject the Company
to such risks as the laws and regulations of foreign governments relating to
investments, operations, currency exchange controls, revaluations, taxes, and
fluctuations of currencies; uncertainties as to local laws and enforcement of
contract and intellectual property rights; occasional requirements for onerous
contract clauses; and, in certain areas, rapid changes in governments and
economic and political policies, the threat of international boycotts and United
States anti-boycott legislation. Nevertheless, in the opinion of management,
these risks are offset by the diversification of the international business and
the protection provided by letters of credit and advance payments.

Except for inconsequential matters involving road and utility
rights-of-way, Harris has never been subjected to threat of government
expropriation, either within the United States or abroad.

Financial information regarding the Company's domestic and international
operations is contained in the Note Business Segments in the Notes to Financial
Statements.

COMPETITION; PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS; BACKLOG

The Company operates in highly competitive businesses that are sensitive to
technological advances. While successful product and systems development is not
necessarily dependent on substantial financial resources, some of Harris'
competitors in each of the sectors of its business are larger and can maintain
higher levels of expenditures for research and development than Harris. Harris
concentrates in each of its sectors on the market opportunities which management
believes are compatible with its resources, overall technological capabilities
and objectives. Principal competitive factors in these sectors are
cost-effectiveness, product quality and reliability, service and ability to meet
delivery schedules as well as, in international areas, the effectiveness of
dealers.

Sales to the U.S. government, which is the Company's only customer
accounting for 10 percent or more of total sales, were 26 percent, 30 percent,
and 35 percent of total sales in 1996, 1995 and 1994 respectively. It is not
expected that Defense Department budget cutbacks will have a material effect on
the profitability of the Company due in part to the Company's efforts to
diversify and reduce its reliance on defense contracts.

Harris' backlog of unfilled orders was approximately $1.3 billion at June
30, 1996 and $1.2 billion at June 30, 1995. Substantially all of the backlog
orders at June 30, 1996 are expected to be filled by June 30, 1997.

RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING

Research and engineering expenditures by Harris totaled approximately $603
million in 1996, $601 million in 1995 and $624 million in 1994.
Company-sponsored research and product development costs were $160 million in
1996, $134 million in 1995 and $128 million in 1994. The balance was funded by
government and commercial customers. Company-funded research is directed to the
development of new products and to building technological capability in selected
semiconductor, communications and electronic systems areas. Government-funded
research helps strengthen and broaden the technical capabilities of Harris in
its areas of interest. Almost all of the decentralized operating divisions
maintain their own engineering and new product development departments, with
scientific assistance provided by advanced-technology departments.

Harris holds numerous patents which it considers, in the aggregate, to
constitute an important asset. However, it does not consider its business or any
sector to be materially dependent upon any single patent or any group of related
patents. The Company is engaged in a pro-active patent licensing program
especially in the Semiconductor Sector, and has entered into a number of
unilateral license and cross-license agreements, many of which generate royalty
income. Although existing license agreements have generated income in past years
and will do so in the future, there can be no assurances the Company will enter
into additional income producing agreements.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER REGULATIONS

The manufacturing facilities of Harris, in common with those of industry
generally, are subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to protect the
environment, particularly in regard to wastes and emissions. Harris has complied
with these requirements and such compliance has not had a material adverse
effect on its business or financial condition. Expenditures to protect the
environment and to comply with current environmental laws and regulations over
the next several years are not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's competitive or financial position. If future laws and regulations
contain more stringent requirements than presently anticipated, expenditures may
be higher than the Company's present estimates of potential capital expenses.

Waste treatment facilities and pollution control equipment have been
installed to satisfy legal requirements and to achieve the Company's waste
minimization and prevention goals. An estimated $.3 million was spent on
environmental capital projects in fiscal 1996. The Company currently forecasts
authorization for environmental-related capital projects totalling $2.2 million
in fiscal 1997. Such amounts may increase in future years. The Company
anticipates that capital expenditures may be required over the next several
years for compliance costs under the new Clean Air Act; however, considerable
uncertainty remains with regard to estimates of such capital expenditures
because the regulations have not yet been issued.

EMPLOYEES

As of June 30, 1996, Harris had approximately 27,600 employees.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Harris operates approximately 41 plants and approximately 400 offices in
the United States, Canada, Europe, Central and South America, Asia and Australia
consisting of about 7.1 million square feet of manufacturing, administrative,
engineering and office facilities that are owned and about 3.4 million square
feet of sales, office and manufacturing facilities that are leased. The leased
facilities are occupied under leases for terms ranging from one year to 30
years, a majority of which can be terminated or renewed at no longer than
five-year intervals at Harris' option. The location of the principal
manufacturing plants owned by the Company in the United States and the sectors
which utilize such plants are as follows: Electronic Systems -- Malabar,
Melbourne and Palm Bay, Florida; Semiconductor -- Palm Bay, Florida; Findlay,
Ohio; and Mountaintop, Pennsylvania; Communications -- Novato and Redwood
Shores, California; San Antonio, Texas; Quincy, Illinois; and Rochester, New
York; and Lanier Worldwide -- Atlanta, Georgia. Harris considers its facilities
to be suitable and adequate for the purposes for which they are used.

As of June 30, 1996, the following facilities were in productive use by
Harris:

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, as a normal incident of the nature and kind of business
in which the Company is engaged, various claims or charges are asserted and
litigation commenced against the Company arising from or related to product
liability; patents, trademarks, or trade secrets; breach of warranty; antitrust;
distribution; or contractual relations. Claimed amounts may be substantial but
may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits of the claim or the
extent of any real risk of court awards. In the opinion of management, final
judgments, if any, which might be rendered against the Company in such
litigation are reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on
the financial position or the business of the Company as a whole.

Government contractors, such as the Company, engaged in supplying goods and
services to the U.S. government are dependent on congressional appropriations
and administrative allotment of funds and may be affected by changes in U.S.
government policies. U.S. government contracts typically involve long-lead times
for design and development and are subject to significant changes in contract
scheduling and may be unilaterally modified or cancelled by the government.
Often these contracts call for successful design and production of complex and
technologically advanced items. The Company may participate in supplying goods
and services to the U.S. government as either a prime contractor or a
subcontractor to a prime contractor. Disputes may arise between the prime
contractor and the government and the prime contractor and its subcontractor and
may result in litigation between the contracting parties.

From time to time, the Company, either individually or in conjunction with
other U.S. government contractors, may be the subject of U.S. government
investigations for alleged criminal or civil violations of procurement or other
federal laws. These investigations may be conducted without the Company's
knowledge. The Company is currently cooperating with certain government
representatives in potential violations of the

7
9

federal procurement laws. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of such
investigations or to estimate the amounts of resulting claims or other actions
that could be instituted against it, its officers or employees. Under present
government procurement regulations, if indicted or adjudged in violation of
procurement or other federal civil laws, a government contractor could be
suspended or debarred from eligibility for awards of new government contracts
for up to three years. In addition, a government contractor's foreign export
control licenses could be suspended or revoked. Management does not believe that
the outcome of these disputes or investigations will have any material adverse
effect on the financial position or the business of the Company as a whole.

In addition, the Company is subject to numerous federal and state
environmental laws and regulatory requirements and is involved from time to time
in investigations or litigation of various potential environmental issues
concerning the ongoing conduct of its facilities or the remediation as a result
of past activities. The Company from time to time receives notices from the
United States Environmental Protection Agency and equivalent state environmental
agencies that it is a potentially responsible party ("PRP") under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly
known as the "Superfund Act") and/or equivalent state legislation. Such notices
assert potential liability for cleanup costs at various sites, most of which are
non-Company owned treatment or disposal sites, allegedly containing hazardous
substances attributable to the Company from past operations. The Company has
been named as a PRP at only 10 such sites, excluding sites as to which the
Company's records disclose no involvement or as to which the Company's liability
has been finally determined; the Company expects to resolve most of such
exposures on a de minimis basis. In the opinion of management, any payments the
Company may be required to make as a result of these claims will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition or the business of the
Company as a whole.

In August 1991, PLS, Inc., a California software company, filed suit
against the Company in the Superior Court of California for San Diego County,
alleging fraud, breach of contract and other charges. In December 1992, the jury
returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. In May 1993, the court entered
judgment against the Company for $13,379,000 in compensatory damages for eight
years of lost profits, i.e. through September 1997 and $53,424,700 in punitive
damages, together with attorney fees, interest and costs of suit. On July 23,
1996, the California Court of Appeal concluded there was insufficient evidence
to support a finding of fraud and reversed the award of punitive damages. The
Court of Appeal remanded the breach of contract matter to the lower court for
retrial solely on the issue of compensatory damages with directions to limit the
period of time for which damages can be awarded from approximately October 1989
to July 15, 1991. In light of the Court of Appeal's opinion, it is management's
belief that the ultimate outcome of this litigation will not have a material
effect on the Company's financial results.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The information in this review, along with Business Segment data shown on
page 2, reflects the Company's continuing operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FISCAL 1996 COMPARED WITH 1995 -- Sales in fiscal 1996 increased 5 percent while
net income increased 15 percent.

Communications segment sales increased 16 percent and net income increased
31 percent. The segment's strong growth in sales and earnings reflected strong
demand in the segment's telecommunication and wireless businesses, particularly
microwave systems, broadcast products, and telephone test equipment.
International sales were higher than the previous year and account for 49
percent of total segment sales in fiscal 1996.

Semiconductor segment sales increased 7 percent despite an industry-wide
slowdown in new orders during the second half of the fiscal year. Strong sales
of the segment's power control products, improved margins on military products,
and increased royalty income contributed to the segment's 24 percent earnings
growth.

Sales in the Lanier Worldwide segment increased 9 percent while net income
increased 24 percent. Sales and earnings were strong in both domestic and
international markets.

Electronic Systems segment sales and net income decreased 8 and 19 percent,
respectively. Segment results were impacted by write-offs on development
programs, whose production follow-on is unlikely, and significantly lower sales
and losses in the segment's energy management business.

Cost of sales, rentals, and services as a percentage of sales decreased to
66.4 percent from 67.6 percent in the prior year. Continuing margin improvement
in the Semiconductor and Communications segments was offset in part by higher
costs in the Electronic Systems segment. Engineering, selling, and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 25.2 percent from
24.3 percent last year. Higher marketing expenses and a 19 percent increase in
corporation-sponsored research and development expenditures contributed to
higher operating expenses.

Interest income increased in 1996 due to an increase in the balance of
notes receivable from customers. Interest expense decreased due to lower
interest rates and an increase in the amount of interest capitalized.
"Other-net" expense was $7.7 million lower in fiscal 1996 due to gains from
foreign currency transactions.

The provision for income taxes in fiscal 1996 and 1995 was 35.0 percent of
income before income taxes.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES -- Expenditures for land, buildings, and equipment totaled
$225 million in 1996, up from $139 million in the prior year. In addition,
during fiscal 1996, $68 million was invested in equipment for rental to
customers, up from $65 million invested in the prior year. Substantially all of
this investment in rental equipment is related to Lanier Worldwide products.

FISCAL 1995 COMPARED WITH 1994 -- Sales in fiscal 1995 increased 3 percent while
income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle increased 27
percent. Income for 1994 included a $17.8 million charge ($11.5 million after
income taxes) for the Corporation's write-off of securities received from a
prior-year sale of a discontinued business.

Semiconductor segment sales increased 4 percent despite a significant
decline in defense business. Strong sales of high-margin, commercial products
more than offset the decline in military shipments. The segment reported a 37
percent increase in net income for the year. Segment earnings benefited from
increased sales of core commercial products, continuing improvements in
operating margins, and increased patent royalty income. These increases were
partially offset by reduced gains from the ongoing sales of investment
securities.

Communications segment sales increased 15 percent and net income increased
19 percent. The increase in sales and earnings resulted from growth in the
segment's radio communications, broadcast equipment, and microwave systems
businesses. Domestic sales were up sharply for the year and international sales
were maintained despite economic disruptions in certain major markets such as
Mexico.

13
15

Sales in the Lanier Worldwide segment increased 9 percent while net income
increased 27 percent. Sales were strong in both domestic and international
markets. Segment earnings benefited from the increased profitability of Lanier's
European and other international operations.

Electronic Systems sales and net income decreased 8 and 12 percent,
respectively. Prior-year results included a computer systems business which was
spun off to shareholders in the first quarter of fiscal 1995. Excluding the
computer systems business from fiscal 1994 results, sales and net income
decreased 3 and 9 percent, respectively. Segment results were adversely impacted
by lower sales to the U.S. Government and by delays in shipments of a new energy
management system.

Cost of sales, rentals, and services as a percentage of sales decreased to
67.6 percent from 68.2 percent in the prior year. Continuing margin improvement
in the Semiconductor and Communications segments was offset in part by a higher
cost ratio in the Electronic Systems segment. Engineering, selling, and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 24.3 percent in fiscal
1995, compared to 24.9 percent in the prior year. Electronic Systems segment
operating expenses were sharply lower due to cost reduction efforts begun in the
second quarter of fiscal 1995. Corporation-sponsored research and development
expenditures were 5 percent more than the previous year's expenditures.

Interest income and interest expense were higher in fiscal 1995 due to
higher interest rates. "Other-net" expense was higher in fiscal 1995 because
1994 included a $15.6 million gain from the sale of a facility.

The provision for income taxes in fiscal 1995 was 35.0 percent of income
before income taxes compared to 37.0 percent in fiscal 1994. The lower rate in
fiscal 1995 resulted from increased tax benefits associated with foreign income.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES -- Expenditures for land, buildings, and equipment totaled
$139 million in 1995 up from $115 million in the prior year. In addition, during
fiscal 1995, $65 million was invested in equipment for rental to customers, up
from $51 million invested in the prior year. Substantially all of this
investment in rental equipment is related to Lanier Worldwide products.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash Position -- At June 30, 1996, cash and cash equivalents totaled $75
million, a decrease from $119 million at June 30, 1995. Marketable securities
were $25 million at June 30, 1996.

Receivables, Unbilled Costs, and Inventories -- Notes and accounts
receivable amounted to $919 million at June 30, 1996, compared to $824 million a
year earlier. The increase in receivables is proportionate with the increase in
fourth quarter revenues. Unbilled costs and inventories increased $72 million
over the prior year to $942 million. The increase in inventories and unbilled
costs will support planned sales growth in fiscal 1997.

Borrowing Arrangements -- The Corporation has available $500 million under
revolving credit agreements until May 1, 2000. Under these agreements $208
million was outstanding at June 30, 1996. The Corporation also has available
$238 million in open bank credit lines, of which $163 million was available at
June 30, 1996. In addition, the Corporation filed a Registration Statement
effective May 15, 1996 for $250 million of medium-term notes. No amounts are
outstanding at June 30, 1996 for these notes; however, they may be offered to
the public from time to time on terms to be determined by market conditions.

Capitalization -- At June 30, 1996, debt totaled $772 million, representing
36.0 percent of total capitalization (defined as the sum of total debt plus
shareholders' equity). A year earlier, debt of $646 million was 34.1 percent of
total capitalization. Year-end long-term debt included $250 million of
debentures, $317 million of notes payable to banks and insurance companies, and
$22 million of other long-term debt.

In 1996, the Corporation issued 319,902 shares of the Common Stock to
employees under the terms of the Corporation's stock purchase, option, and
incentive plans.

The Corporation expects to maintain operating ratios, fixed-charge
coverages, and balance-sheet ratios sufficient for retention of its present debt
ratings.

Retirement Plans -- Retirement benefits for substantially all of the
Corporation's employees are provided primarily through a retirement plan having
profit-sharing and savings elements. The Corporation also has non-

14
16

contributory defined-benefit pension plans and provides limited health-care
benefits to retirees who have 10 or more years of service. All obligations under
the Corporation's retirement plans have been fully funded by the Corporation's
contributions, the provision for which totaled $78 million during the 1996
fiscal year.

Deferred Income Taxes -- The liability for non-current deferred income
taxes was $62 million at June 30, 1996, up from $56 million a year earlier.

Impact of Foreign Exchange -- Approximately 80 percent of the Corporation's
international business is transacted in local currency environments. The impact
is included as a component of Shareholders' Equity. At June 30, 1996, the
cumulative translation adjustment reduced Shareholders' Equity by $16 million
compared to a reduction of $10 million at June 30, 1995.

The Corporation utilizes exchange rate agreements with customers and
suppliers and foreign currency hedging instruments to minimize the currency
risks of international transactions. Gains and losses resulting from currency
rate fluctuations did not have a material effect on the Corporation's results in
1996, 1995, or 1994.

Impact of Inflation -- To the extent feasible, the Corporation has
consistently followed the practice of adjusting its prices to reflect the impact
of inflation on wages and salaries for employees and the cost of purchased
materials and services.

HARRIS CORPORATION

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Harris Directors and Shareholders:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Harris
Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended June 30, 1996. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Corporation's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Harris
Corporation and subsidiaries at June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended June 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in the Accounting Changes note to the financial statements,
effective July 1, 1993, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for
postretirement benefits other than pensions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION--The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. These statements have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and require
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been
eliminated.

CASH EQUIVALENTS--Cash equivalents are temporary cash investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased. These investments include
accrued interest and are carried at the lower of cost or market.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES--Marketable securities are stated at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included as a separate component of
shareholders' equity. Realized gains and losses from marketable securities are
determined using the specific identification method. The cost basis of
marketable securities was $6.6 million at June 30, 1996, and $2.3 million at
June 30, 1995. The amount of gross realized gains included in net income in 1996
and 1995 was not material.

INVENTORIES--Inventories are priced at the lower of cost (determined by average
and first-in, first-out methods) or market.

PLANT AND EQUIPMENT--Plant and equipment are carried on the basis of cost.
Depreciation of buildings, machinery, and equipment is computed by straight-line
and accelerated methods. The estimated useful lives of buildings range between 5
and 50 years. The estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment range
between 3 and 10 years. Depreciation of rental equipment is computed by the
straight-line method using estimated useful lives between 3 and 5 years.

INTANGIBLES--Intangibles resulting from acquisitions are being amortized by the
straight-line method principally over periods between 15 and 40 years.
Recoverability of intangibles is assessed using estimated undiscounted cash
flows of related operations.

INCOME TAXES--The Corporation follows the liability method of accounting for
income taxes.

REVENUE RECOGNITION--Revenue is recognized from sales other than on long-term
contracts when a product is shipped, from rentals as they accrue, and from
services when performed. Revenue on long-term contracts is accounted for
principally by the percentage-of-completion method whereby income is recognized
based on the estimated stage of completion of individual contracts. Unearned
income on service contracts is amortized by the straight-line method over the
term of the contracts.

RETIREMENT BENEFITS--The Corporation and its subsidiaries provide retirement
benefits to substantially all employees primarily through a retirement plan
having profit-sharing and savings elements. Contributions by the Corporation to
the retirement plan are based on profits and employees' savings with no other
funding requirements. The Corporation may make additional contributions to the
fund at its discretion. The Corporation also has non-contributory defined
benefit pension plans which are fully funded.

Retirement benefits also include an unfunded limited healthcare plan for
U.S.-based retirees and employees on long-term disability. In 1994, the
Corporation began accruing the estimated cost of these medical benefits during
an employee's active service life. The Corporation previously expensed the cost
of these benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis.

FUTURES AND FORWARD CONTRACTS--Gains and losses on futures and forward contracts
that qualify as hedges are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the
carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability or anticipated transaction.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION--The functional currency for most international
subsidiaries is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at
current rates of exchange, and income and expense items are translated at the
weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation
adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

UNEARNED COMPENSATION--Compensation resulting from performance shares granted
under the Corporation's long-term incentive plan is amortized to expense over
the vesting period of the performance shares and is adjusted for changes in the
market value of the Common Stock.

EARNINGS PER SHARE--Income per share is based upon the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during each year.

RECLASSIFICATIONS--Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform
with current year classifications.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES

In 1996, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed Of." This standard establishes the method for evaluating and
measuring possible write-downs of the carrying value of long-lived assets and
certain intangibles. The adoption of this standard had no effect on the
consolidated financial statements.

In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation." Under this standard, companies can elect, but are not required,
to recognize compensation expense for all stock-based awards, using a fair value
methodology. The Corporation intends to continue with its present method of
providing compensation expense for certain stock-based performance awards while
not providing compensation expense for stock options, and as required by the
standard, in 1997 the Corporation will make pro forma disclosures of net income
and earnings per share as if the new method had been applied.

In 1994, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions." Healthcare benefits are provided on a limited cost-sharing basis to
retirees who have 10 or more years of service and to employees on long-term
disability. The cumulative effect at July 1, 1993, of adopting this standard
resulted in a one-time charge of $10.1 million net of income tax benefits of
$6.4 million.

NONRECURRING ITEMS

In 1994, the Corporation's residual holding in a company that acquired its 1989
discontinued data-communication business became impaired due to bankruptcy
proceedings. Consequently, the Corporation provided $17.8 million ($11.5 million
after income taxes or 29 cents per share) to write off its interest in equity
securities and promissory notes of this company. Also in 1994, the Corporation
sold a Semiconductor fabrication facility for $35.5 million in cash. This sale
resulted in a gain of $15.6 million ($9.9 million after income taxes or 25 cents
per share) and is included in "Other-net" expense in the Consolidated Statement
of Income.

CONTINGENCIES RESULTING FROM
DISCONTINUED OPERATION

In 1993, a jury in a California state court awarded a California software
company $13.4 million in compensatory damages and $85.0 million in punitive
damages against the Corporation. The court reduced the punitive damages to $53.4
million, and entered judgment for the compensatory and punitive damages,
together with interest and costs of suit. The suit arose from an August 11,
1989, contract between the plaintiff and a discontinued operation of the
Corporation. The Corporation appealed the award to the California Court of
Appeal and on July 23, 1996, the court rendered its opinion. The court reversed
the award of punitive damages. The breach of contract judgment was affirmed but
remanded to the trial court solely on the issue of compensatory damages with
directions to limit the period of time for which damages can be awarded. In
light of the appeals court opinion, it is unlikely that the ultimate outcome of
this litigation will have a material effect on the Corporation's financial
results.

INTANGIBLES

Accumulated amortization of intangible assets at June 30 was $52.3 million for
1996 and $43.1 million for 1995.

CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

The Corporation maintains revolving credit agreements which provide for
borrowing up to $500.0 million until May 2000. These agreements provide for
advances under a competitive advance facility and a committed facility at
various interest rates, as determined by a pricing matrix based upon the
Corporation's long-term debt ratings

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

assigned by Standard and Poor's Ratings Group and Moody's Investors Service. A
facility fee is payable on the credit and determined in the same manner as the
interest rates. The Corporation is not required to maintain compensating
balances in connection with these agreements. Under these agreements, $208.3
million was outstanding at June 30, 1996, $100 million of which has been
classified as long-term based on the Corporation's intent to maintain borrowings
of at least that amount for the next year.

The Corporation also has lines of credit for short-term financing
aggregating $238.2 million from various U.S. and foreign banks, of which $163.0
million was available on June 30, 1996. These arrangements provide for borrowing
at various interest rates, are reviewed annually for renewal, and may be used on
such terms as the Corporation and the banks mutually agree. These lines do not
require compensating balances.

PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS

Each outstanding share of Common Stock includes one preferred share purchase
right that entitles the holder to purchase one two-hundredth share of a new
series of participating preferred stock at an exercise price of $125. The rights
will not be exercisable, or transferable apart from the Common Stock, until 10
days following an announcement that a person or affiliated group has acquired,
or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of
the Common Stock or until 10 days following an announcement of a tender or
exchange offer for 30 percent or more of the Common Stock. The rights, which do
not have voting rights, will be exercisable by all holders except for a holder
or affiliated group beneficially owning 20 percent or more of the Common Stock.
All rights will expire on November 23, 1996, and may be redeemed by the
Corporation at a price of $.01 per right at any time prior to either their
expiration or such time that the rights become exercisable.

In the event that the Corporation is acquired in a merger or other business
combination or certain other events occur, provision shall be made so that each
holder of a right shall have the right to receive, upon exercise thereof at the
then-current exercise price, that number of shares of common stock of the
surviving company which at the time of such transaction would have a market
value of two times the exercise price of the right.

NON-CASH DIVIDEND

In 1995, the Corporation spun off as a tax-free dividend its computer systems
business by distributing one share of Harris Computer Systems Corporation common
stock for every twenty shares of the Corporation's Common Stock. Cash dividends
shown in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows includes the $8.4 million cash
balance of the Harris Computer System Corporation at the time of the spin-off;
the remainder of the dividend was a non-cash transaction.

STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS

The following information relates to stock option and incentive stock awards.
Option prices are 100 percent of market value on the date the options are
granted. Option grants are for a maximum of ten years after dates of grant and

The Corporation has a stock incentive plan for directors and key employees.
Awards under this plan may include the grant of performance shares, restricted
stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, or other stock-based awards.
The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be awarded under the
plan in each fiscal year is one percent of the total outstanding shares of
Common Stock plus shares available from prior years. Performance shares
outstanding were 502,611 at June 30, 1996; 625,551 at June 30, 1995; and 735,966
at June 30, 1994. Shares of Common Stock reserved for future awards under the
plan were 1,148,818 at June 30, 1996; 1,046,717 at June 30, 1995; and 864,970 at
June 30, 1994.

Under the Corporation's domestic retirement plan, employees may purchase a
limited amount of the Corporation's Common Stock at 70 percent of current market
value. Shares of Common Stock reserved for future purchases by the retirement
plan were 1,275,361 at June 30, 1996.

United States income taxes have not been provided on $479.1 million of
undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries because of the
Corporation's intention to reinvest these earnings. The determination of
unrecognized deferred U.S. tax liability for the undistributed earnings of
international subsidiaries is not practicable.

Pretax income of international subsidiaries was $74.2 million in 1996, $63.2
million in 1995, and $55.9 million in 1994.

Income taxes paid were $95.6 million in 1996, $79.2 million in 1995, and
$80.2 million in 1994.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Corporation is structured primarily around the markets it serves and
operates in four business segments: Communications, Semiconductor, Lanier
Worldwide, and Electronic Systems. The Communications segment produces
broadcast, radio communications and telecommunications products and systems. The
Semiconductor segment produces advanced analog, digital and mixed signal
integrated circuits and discrete semiconductors for power, signal processing,
data-acquisition, and logic applications. Lanier Worldwide sells and services
copying and facsimile products, and PC-based healthcare management systems. The
Electronic Systems segment engages in advanced research and develops, designs
and produces advanced information processing and communication systems.

Communication and electronic products and systems are produced principally in
the United States with international revenues derived primarily from exports.
Copying and facsimile products are produced principally in Asia with
international revenues derived from the Corporation's international
subsidiaries.

Net sales and operating profit by segment are on page 34. That information
is an integral part of these financial statements.

Sales made to the U.S. Government by all segments (primarily Electronic
Systems segment) were 25.7 percent of total sales in 1996, 30.4 percent of total
sales in 1995, and 34.8 percent of total sales in 1994. Intersegment sales,
which are insignificant, are accounted for at prices comparable to unaffiliated
customers.

Capital expenditures and depreciation do not include equipment for rental to
customers. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash, marketable securities,
deferred income taxes, and plant and equipment.

Export sales approximated $631.6 million in 1996, $524.6 million in 1995, and
$387.6 million in 1994. Export sales and net sales of international operations
were principally to Europe and Asia.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying values of cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts
receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and short-term debt approximates
fair value. The fair value of long-term debt was $618.6 million at June 30,
1996.

The Corporation uses foreign exchange contracts and options to hedge
intercompany accounts and off-balance-sheet foreign currency commitments.
Specifically, these foreign exchange contracts offset foreign currency
denominated inventory and purchase commitments from suppliers, accounts
receivable from--and future committed sales to--customers, and firm committed
operating expenses. Management believes the use of foreign currency financial
instruments should reduce the risks which arise from doing business in
international markets. Contracts are for periods consistent with the terms of
the underlying transaction, generally one year or less. At June 30, 1996, open
foreign exchange contracts were $232.7 million (as described below), of which
$194.6 million were to hedge off-balance-sheet commitments. Additionally, for
the year ended June 30, 1996, the Corporation purchased and sold $809.7 million
of foreign exchange forward and option contracts.

Deferred gains and losses are included on a net basis in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet as other assets and are recorded in income as part of the
underlying transaction when it is recognized.

At June 30, 1996, the Corporation had $11.8 million in open option contracts.
Total open foreign exchange contracts at June 30, 1996, are described in the
table below.
