Harris began reporting comparative results under ASC 606 and ASU 2017-07 in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2018 (the first quarter of fiscal 2019).
Harris is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current Report”) to update certain historical fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 financial information contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2018 ("Fiscal 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K") to reflect the retrospective impact of ASC 606 and ASU 2017-07 for those two fiscal years.
More specifically, in Exhibit 99.1 filed with this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference (“Exhibit 99.1”), the Company has updated historical fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 financial information contained in the following Items in the Fiscal 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K solely to the extent necessary to reflect the impact for those two fiscal years of retrospective application of ASC 606 and ASU 2017-07:

• | Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;

• | Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data; and

• | Part IV, Item 15(2), Schedule II — Valuation and Qualifying Accounts.

The updated fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 financial information in such Items in Exhibit 99.1 supersedes the fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 financial information in such Items in the Fiscal 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In Exhibit 99.1, the Company also has updated the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data to include Note 25: Subsequent Events related to the Company's entry into a definitive merger agreement with L3 Technologies, Inc.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations), and no other Items in the Fiscal 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K are being updated, and all such other historic financial information and such other Items in the Fiscal 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K remain unchanged and are not superseded.
In addition, the previously reported consolidated financial statements have not been updated to reflect any financial results, events, developments or other changes subsequent to fiscal 2018 (which ended June 29, 2018).
