These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly and first half periods ended June 28, 2019 should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED


Principles of Consolidation and Reporting
The accompanying financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of L3. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (VIEs) if the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company also holds interests in certain VIEs for which it was determined the Company is not the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in equity securities, joint ventures and limited liability corporations over which the Company has significant influence but does not have voting control are accounted for using the equity method. Investments over which the Company does not have significant influence are accounted for using the cost method. For the classification of certain current assets and liabilities, the Company uses the duration of the related contract or program as its operating cycle, which may be longer than one year.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for a complete set of annual audited financial statements. The December 31, 2018 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
It is generally the Company’s established practice to close its books for the quarters ending March, June and September on the Friday preceding the end of the calendar quarter. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared and are labeled based on that convention. The Company closes its books for annual periods on December 31 regardless of what day it falls on.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires 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 sales and cost of sales during the reporting period. The most significant of these estimates and assumptions relate to sales, profit and loss recognition for performance obligations satisfied over time, fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations and investments, market values for inventories reported at lower of cost or realizable value, pension and post-retirement benefit obligations, stock-based employee compensation expense, income taxes, including the valuations of deferred tax assets, litigation reserves, useful lives and valuation of recorded amounts of long-lived assets, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. Changes in estimates are reflected in the periods during which they become known. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and could differ materially.
Revenue Recognition
A substantial majority of the Company’s consolidated net sales are generated from long-term contracts with customers that require it to design, develop, manufacture, modify, upgrade, test and integrate complex aerospace and electronic equipment and to provide engineering and technical services according to the customers’ specifications. These contracts are primarily with agencies of, and prime system contractors to, the U.S. Government and foreign governments and are generally priced on a fixed-price, cost-plus or time-and-material type basis. The majority of the Company's sales are from performance obligations satisfied over time and are primarily with agencies of, and prime system contractors to, the U.S. Government and foreign governments. The Company also records sales from performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, which are typically for standard goods. See Note 21 for additional information regarding the composition of the Company’s net sales.

Revisions or adjustments to estimates of the transaction price, estimated costs at completion and estimated profit or loss of a performance obligation may be required as work progresses under a contract, as experience is gained, as facts and circumstances change and as new information is obtained, even though the scope of work required under the contract may not change. Revisions or adjustments may also be required if contract modifications occur. The impact of revisions in profit or loss estimates are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions are made. The revisions in contract estimates, if significant, can materially affect the Company’s results of operations and cash flows. Net sales recognized from the Company's performance obligations partially satisfied in prior periods were $28 million and $101 million for the quarterly and first half periods ended June 28, 2019, respectively, and relate to revisions in contract estimates. The aggregate impact of net changes in contract estimates is presented in the table below.

Remaining Performance Obligations
As of June 28, 2019, the Company had $11.7 billion of remaining performance obligations, which represents the transaction price of firm orders less inception to date sales recognized. Remaining performance obligations exclude unexercised contract options and potential orders under basic ordering agreements or master-type contracts (i.e., indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity). The Company expects to recognize sales relating to existing performance obligations of approximately $4.9 billion during the remainder of 2019, $4.6 billion in 2020, $1.3 billion in 2021 and $0.9 billion in the periods thereafter.
Leases
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases, (ASC 842), using the optional transition method. In accordance with the optional transition method, the Company initially applied the new standard for existing leases as of January 1, 2019. In addition, in accordance with the optional transition method, prior period amounts and disclosures are presented under ASC 840. The cumulative effect of applying ASC 842 was an increase of $640 million to the Company's assets and liabilities.
In accordance with ASC 842, the Company recognizes lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for operating and finance leases under which the Company is a lessee, except for equipment leases and, as permitted by a practical expedient under the standard, leases with a term of 12 months or less. Equipment leases were not material at January 1, 2019 or June 28, 2019 and therefore not recognized on the balance sheet for these periods. The Company recognizes a lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term for equipment leases and leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company classifies operating lease assets as operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets and operating lease liabilities in other current liabilities for obligations due within 12 months, or operating lease liabilities for obligations due longer than 12 months. Finance lease assets are classified in property, plant and equipment. Finance lease liabilities are classified in other current liabilities or other liabilities depending on when the obligation is due.

Table of Contents
L3 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED


Lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future lease payments. Lease payments primarily include rent and insurance costs (lease components). The Company's leases also include non-lease components such as real estate taxes and common-area maintenance costs. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component. In certain of the Company's leases, the non-lease components are variable and in accordance with the standard are therefore excluded from lease payments to determine the lease asset. The present value of future lease payments is determined using the Company's incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement over the expected lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate because the Company's leases do not provide an implicit lease rate. The expected lease term represents the number of years the Company expects to lease the property, including options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such option.
For operating leases, the lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term on the statement of operations as an operating cost. For finance leases, the asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and interest on the lease liability is recognized in interest expense. The amortization of lease assets for the Company's finance leases and interest expense were not material for the first half period ended June 28, 2019.
Lessor
The Company is a lessor for certain arrangements for flight simulators. These leases meet the criteria for operating lease classification. Lease income associated with these leases is not material.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative (G&A) expenses include allowable and unallowable administrative and overhead costs, independent research and development (IRAD) and bids and proposal (B&P) costs. The Company accounts for the portion of their G&A, IRAD and B&P costs that are allowable and reimbursable under U.S. Government procurement regulations on U.S. Government contracts as contract costs which are charged to costs of sales when sales on the related contracts are recognized. The Company’s U.S. Government contractor businesses record the unallowable portion of their G&A, IRAD and B&P costs to expense as incurred. G&A expenses for the Company's commercial businesses are expensed as incurred. The total IRAD expenses incurred were $88 million and $158 million for the quarterly and first half periods ended June 28, 2019, respectively. The total IRAD expenses incurred were $86 million and $161 million for the quarterly and first half periods ended June 29, 2018, respectively.
The Company capitalizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with foreign governments and foreign and domestic commercial customers (third-party sales commissions) if the Company expects to recover the costs under the contract. The Company expenses the costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less. The Company classifies the portion of capitalized costs of obtaining a contract to be amortized over the next 12 months within prepaid expense and other current assets and classifies the remaining amount within other assets in its consolidated balance sheets.
Merger, Acquisition and Divestiture Related Expenses and Losses
Merger, acquisition and divestiture related expenses and losses include legal, professional, internal costs and other costs related to the L3 Harris merger, as well as gains/losses and other costs related to other acquisitions and divestitures. Professional fees contingent upon closing the merger with Harris of $28 million will be recorded in the Company's statement of operations on June 29, 2019.
3. New Accounting Standards Implemented
In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (U.S. Tax Reform). The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 as of January 1, 2019 and elected not to reclassify amounts from AOCI for the stranded tax effects of U.S. Tax Reform. The adoption of ASU 2018-02 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities . The amendments in this update intend to better align the Company's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedge relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The amendments in this update require the Company to present the earnings effect of the hedging

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED


instrument in the same income statement line in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. Current U.S. GAAP provides for hedge accounting only for the portion of the hedge deemed to be highly effective and requires the Company to separately reflect the amount by which the hedging instrument does not offset the hedged item, which is referred to as the ineffective amount. The amendments in this update no longer require the Company to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. The new standard is effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2019. For cash flow hedges existing at the date of adoption, the Company is required to apply a cumulative effect adjustment relating to the separate measurement of ineffectiveness to the opening balance of retained earnings. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 effective January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC 842 which updates the existing guidance on accounting for leases and requires new qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the Company’s leasing activities. The new standard requires the Company to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases under which the Company is the lessee, including those classified as operating leases under previous accounting guidance. The Company adopted the standard as of January 1, 2019. See Note 2 for additional information.
4. Acquisitions, Divestitures and Discontinued Operations
Business Acquisitions
The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit within the Company’s existing portfolio or expand the Company’s portfolio into new product lines or adjacent markets. The Company has completed a number of acquisitions that have been accounted for as business combinations and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Company’s financial statements. This goodwill includes the know-how of the assembled workforce, the ability of the workforce to further improve technology and product offerings and the expected cash flows resulting from these efforts. Goodwill may also include expected synergies resulting from the complementary strategic fit these businesses bring to existing operations. The business acquisitions discussed below are included in the Company’s results of operations from their respective dates of acquisition.
2019 Business Acquisitions
Flight Data Services, Limited (Flight Data Services). On June 14, 2019, the Company acquired Flight Data Services for a purchase price of £8 million (approximately $10 million), which was financed with cash on hand. Flight Data Services is a U.K. based provider of flight data analysis software and services including flight data management and flight operations quality assurance. The preliminary goodwill recognized for this business was approximately $7 million and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The final purchase price is subject to customary adjustments for final working capital.
2018 Business Acquisitions
The final purchase price for the 2018 acquisitions of ASV Global, L.L.C. (ASV Global), C.K. Industrial Engineers Limited (C.K. Industrial Engineers) and Azimuth Security and Linchpin Labs (Azimuth Security and Linchpin Labs) is subject to customary adjustments for final working capital. The final purchase price allocations for ASV Global, C.K. Industrial Engineers, Azimuth Security and Linchpin Labs are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2019 and will be based on final appraisals and other analysis of fair values of acquired assets and liabilities. The Company does not expect that differences between the preliminary and final purchase price allocations will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
See Note 3 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for additional information about the Company’s 2018 business acquisitions.

Investments in Nonconsolidated Affiliates
Peak Nano Optics, LLC (Peak Nano). On February 6, 2018, the Company acquired a 25% interest in Peak Nano Optics, LLC, for a purchase price of $20 million . Peak Nano is a nanotechnology company, which allows for the design and manufacturing of polymer lenses for military, sporting and commercial optics applications using its nanolayer gradient refractive index technology. On March 6, 2019, the Company acquired an additional 10% interest in Peak Nano and warrants to acquire up to an additional 10% interest, in exchange for $20 million and forgiveness of a $5 million note receivable.
The Company determined Peak Nano is a VIE as it did not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities. The Company, however, is not the primary beneficiary because it does not have the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the economic performance of Peak Nano. Accordingly, Peak Nano is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Business Divestitures
2019 Divestitures
On February 5, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its L3 Mobile-Vision, Inc. business. The L3 Mobile-Vision, Inc. business primarily provided in-car video systems, body-worn cameras and other law enforcement solutions. The sales price for the business was $1 million , and the loss on sale was $2 million . Mobile-Vision's results of operations were not material for the quarterly period ended March 29, 2019.
2018 Divestitures
On June 29, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its Crestview Aerospace and TCS businesses (the " Crestview & TCS Businesses ").

The increase was due to a purchase price allocation adjustment for the ASV Global business acquisition, the acquisition of the Flight Data Services business and a purchase price allocation adjustment for the C.K. Industrial Engineers business acquisition.
Identifiable Intangible Assets.  The most significant identifiable intangible asset that is separately recognized for the Company’s business acquisitions is customer contractual relationships. All of the Company’s customer relationships are established through written customer contracts (revenue arrangements). The fair value for customer contractual relationships is determined, as of the date of acquisition, based on estimates and judgments regarding expectations for the estimated future after-tax earnings and cash flows (including cash flows for working capital) arising from the follow-on sales expected from the customer contractual relationships over their estimated lives, including the probability of expected future contract renewals and sales, less a contributory assets charge, all of which is discounted to present value. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets include in-process research and development (IPR&D).

On May 30, 2019, in connection with the Company's anticipated merger with Harris, Harris commenced an offering in which eligible holders of the Company’s senior notes (the L3 Senior Notes) could exchange (the Exchange Offer) such outstanding notes for (1) up to $3.35 billion aggregate principal amount of new notes issued by Harris (Harris Notes) and (2) one dollar in cash for each $1,000 principal amount. Each of the series of Harris Notes issued have an interest rate and maturity date that is identical to the L3 Senior Notes. The Exchange Offers settled on July 2, 2019.
The exchange consideration, early tender premium and total exchange consideration for each series of the L3 Senior Notes are presented in the table below.

(1)  
For each $1,000 principal amount of L3's Senior Notes accepted for exchange.
(2)  
Includes Early Tender Premium.
In conjunction with the Exchange Offer, the Company solicited consents (each, a "Consent Solicitation" and, collectively, the "Consent Solicitations") to adopt certain proposed amendments to each of the indentures governing the L3 Senior Notes to eliminate certain of the covenants, restrictive provisions, events of default and subsidiary guarantee provisions from such indentures. In addition, the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitations were conditioned upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger.
Holders who validly tendered their L3 Senior Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 12, 2019 (the Early Tender Date), were eligible to receive, on the settlement date, the applicable Total Exchange Consideration as set forth in the table above, which includes the applicable Early Tender Premium as set forth in the table above, for all such L3 Senior Notes that were accepted. Holders who validly tendered their L3 Senior Notes after the Early Tender Date but prior to July 1, 2019 (the Expiration Date) were not eligible to receive the applicable Early Tender Premium and, accordingly, were eligible to receive, on the settlement date, only the applicable Exchange Consideration as set forth in the table above for all such L3 Senior Notes that were accepted.
The new Harris Notes are unsecured senior obligations of L3Harris and rank equally in right of payment with all of its other unsecured debt and are structurally subordinated to the secured and unsecured debt of L3Harris' subsidiaries, including any debt of L3 that remains outstanding.
Remaining Existing L3 Notes
Following the settlement of the Exchange Offer, L3 had outstanding approximately $329 million in principal of L3 Senior Notes. The existing L3 Senior Notes were issued under an indenture, dated as of May 21, 2010 (as supplemented and amended, the “L3 Indenture”), by and among L3, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as the trustee. As discussed above, in connection with the Exchange Offer, L3 solicited the consents of the holders of the existing L3 Senior Notes to amend the L3 Indenture to remove certain restrictive and reporting covenants. L3 received consents in the Consent Solicitations sufficient to approve such amendments to the L3 Indenture. As a result, L3 and the trustee for the

remaining existing L3 Senior Notes have entered into a supplemental indenture implementing those amendments to the L3 Indenture. The existing L3 Senior Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of L3.
10. Income Taxes
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, which is the Company’s primary tax jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. At June 28, 2019, the statutes of limitations for the Company’s U.S. Federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017 were open.
The effective income tax rate for the quarterly period ended June 28, 2019 decreased to 18.9%, compared to 20.3% for the quarterly period ended June 29, 2018. The decrease was driven by a gain on the sale of the Crestview & TCS Businesses in 2018 that did not recur in 2019, partially offset by a reduction in tax benefits from equity compensation.
The effective income tax rate for the first half period ended June 28, 2019 increased to 16.6%, compared to 15.9% for the first half period ended June 29, 2018. The increase was driven by a reduction in tax benefits from equity compensation, partially offset by a gain on the sale of the Crestview & TCS Businesses in 2018 that did not recur in 2019.
At June 28, 2019, the Company anticipated that unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $27 million over the next 12 months due to the potential resolution of unrecognized tax benefits involving several jurisdictions and tax periods. The actual amount of the decrease over the next 12 months could vary significantly depending on the ultimate timing and nature of any settlements.
Current and non-current income taxes payable include accrued potential interest of $17 million ($13 million after income taxes) at June 28, 2019 and $15 million ($11 million after income taxes) at December 31, 2018, and potential penalties of $8 million at June 28, 2019 and $9 million at December 31, 2018.

12. Equity
On May 8, 2017, L3’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that authorized L3 to repurchase up to an additional $1.5 billion of its common stock. The program became effective on July 1, 2017 and had no set expiration date. Repurchases of L3’s common stock were made from time to time at management’s discretion in accordance with applicable U.S. Federal securities laws. All share repurchases of L3’s common stock have been recorded as treasury shares.
The Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock from September 29, 2018 through July 19, 2019. The last repurchase of shares was in July 2018. In connection with the merger with Harris (see Note 1), the Company suspended the share repurchase program.
On May 7, 2019, L3’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.85 per share, paid on June 17, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 17, 2019. During the first half period ended June 28, 2019, the Company paid $138 million of cash dividends, including a $2 million net reduction of previously accrued dividends for employee-held stock awards.
In connection with the completion of the merger, L3 shares ceased trading prior to market open on July 1, 2019, and each L3 share converted into 1.30 shares of Harris. Upon closing of the merger, Harris was renamed L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and began trading under the ticker symbol LHX.
13. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants. The standards establish a fair value hierarchy that gives the highest priority to observable inputs and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

__________________
(1)  
Level 1 is based on quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Cash equivalents are primarily held in registered money market funds, which are valued using quoted market prices.
(2)  
Level 2 is based on pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable. The fair value is determined using a valuation model based on observable market inputs, including quoted foreign currency forward exchange rates, interest rates and consideration of non-performance risk.
(3)  
Level 3 is based on pricing inputs that are not observable and not corroborated by market data.
(4)  
See Note 15 for information regarding the treasury lock contracts.
The contingent consideration liabilities represent the future potential earn-out payments relating to the acquisitions of MacDonald Humfrey (Automation) Limited, renamed L3 MacDonald Humfrey (MacH), on November 22, 2016, Open Water Power, Inc., renamed L3 Open Water Power, Inc. (Open Water Power), on May 19, 2017 and Latitude Engineering, LLC, renamed L3 Latitude Engineering, Inc. (Latitude Engineering) on June 28, 2018. The fair value of the MacH contingent consideration liability and a portion of the Latitude Engineering contingent consideration liability is based on a Monte Carlo Simulation of the aggregate revenue of MacH for the three-year period ending December 31, 2019 and the aggregate revenue of Latitude Engineering as of each year within the four-year period ended December 31, 2021. The significant unobservable inputs used in calculating the fair value of the MacH contingent consideration and a portion of the Latitude Engineering contingent consideration include: (i) projected revenues of the acquired businesses, (ii) company specific risk premium, which is a component of the discount rate applied to the revenue projections and (iii) volatility. The fair value of the Open Water Power contingent consideration liability and a portion of the Latitude Engineering contingent consideration liability is based on the Scenario-Based Method of the income approach using post-acquisition milestone achievements of Open Water Power and Latitude Engineering through December 31, 2020. The significant unobservable inputs used in calculating the fair value of the Open Water Power contingent consideration and a portion of the Latitude Engineering contingent consideration include: (i) timing of achieving the milestones associated with the contingent consideration arrangement, (ii) probabilities of achieving each milestone and (iii) the discount rate. The fair value of the contingent consideration for potential earn-out payments is reassessed quarterly, including an analysis of the significant inputs used in the evaluation, as well as the accretion of the present value discount. Changes are reflected within cost of sales in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

15. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company’s derivative financial instruments include foreign currency forward contracts and treasury lock contracts, which are entered into for risk management purposes.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts.  The Company’s U.S. and foreign businesses enter into contracts with customers, subcontractors or vendors that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies. To protect the functional currency equivalent cash flows associated with certain of these contracts, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts. The Company’s activities involving foreign currency forward contracts are designed to hedge the changes in the functional currency equivalent cash flows due to movements in foreign exchange rates compared to the functional currency. The foreign currencies hedged are primarily the Canadian dollar, the U.S. dollar, the Euro, the British pound, the United Arab Emirates dirham and the New Zealand dollar. The Company manages exposure to counterparty non-performance credit risk by entering into foreign currency forward contracts only with major financial institutions that are expected to fully perform under the terms of such contracts. Foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and are generally designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges in accordance with the accounting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Gains and losses on designated foreign currency forward contracts that are highly effective in offsetting the corresponding change in the cash flows of the hedged transactions are recorded net of income taxes in AOCI and then recognized in income when the underlying hedged transaction affects income. Gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts that do not meet hedge accounting criteria are recognized in income immediately. Notional amounts are used to measure the volume of foreign currency forward contracts and do not represent exposure to foreign currency losses. The table below presents the notional amounts of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts by currency at June 28, 2019.

At June 28, 2019, the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts had maturities through 2023.
Treasury Lock Contracts. The Company uses treasury lock contracts principally to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in interest rates. The Company does not enter into or hold interest rate swap contracts for speculative or trading purposes. The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through its borrowing activities. The Company’s treasury lock contracts are designated for hedge accounting.
In January 2019, the Company entered into two treasury lock contracts to fix the treasury yield component of the interest cost of forecasted refinancing associated with the $650 million of 4.95% Senior Notes due 2021. The treasury lock contracts are scheduled to terminate on February 12, 2021.
The Company has designated these treasury lock contracts as cash flow hedges of an anticipated transaction. Any unrealized gains and losses associated with the treasury locks are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains occur when interest rates increase, conversely, any unrealized losses occur when interest rates decline. Upon termination of the treasury lock contracts, the Company will recognize any unrealized gains or losses over the life of the related financing arrangement. The Company recorded unrealized hedging losses, net of taxes due to a decline in the 10-year treasury rate, of $14 million and $26 million for the quarterly and first half periods ended June 28, 2019, respectively.

17. Commitments and Contingencies
Procurement Regulations
A substantial majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from providing products and services under legally binding agreements or contracts with the U.S. Government, foreign government customers and state and local governments. U.S. Government contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements, and, from time to time, agencies of the U.S. Government investigate whether such contracts were and are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. The Company is currently cooperating with the U.S. Government on several investigations from which civil, criminal or administrative proceedings have or could result and give rise to fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages, restitution and/or forfeitures, including investigations into the pricing of certain contracts. The Company does not currently anticipate that any of these investigations will have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, under U.S. Government regulations, an indictment of the Company by a federal grand jury, or an administrative finding against the Company as to its present responsibility to be a U.S. Government contractor or subcontractor, could result in the Company being suspended for a period of time from eligibility for awards of new government contracts or task orders or in a loss of export privileges. A conviction, or an administrative finding against the Company that satisfies the requisite level of seriousness, could result in debarment from contracting with the federal government for a specified term. In addition, all of the Company’s U.S. Government contracts: (1) are subject to audit and various pricing and cost controls, (2) include standard provisions for termination for the convenience of the U.S. Government or for default and (3) are subject to cancellation if funds for contracts become unavailable. Foreign government contracts generally include comparable provisions relating to terminations for convenience or default, as well as other procurement clauses relevant to the foreign government.
Litigation Matters
The Company is also subject to litigation, proceedings, claims or assessments and various contingent liabilities incidental to its businesses, including the matter specified below. Furthermore, in connection with certain business acquisitions, the Company has assumed some or all claims against, and liabilities of, such acquired businesses, including both asserted and unasserted claims and liabilities.
In accordance with the accounting standard for contingencies, the Company records a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. Generally, the loss is recorded at the amount the Company expects to resolve the liability. Amounts recoverable from insurance contracts or third parties are recorded as assets when deemed probable. At June 28, 2019, the Company did not record any amounts for recoveries from insurance contracts or third parties in connection with the amount of liabilities recorded for pending and threatened litigation. Legal defense costs are expensed as incurred. The Company believes it has recorded adequate provisions for its litigation matters. The Company reviews these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. While it is reasonably possible that an unfavorable outcome may occur in the matter set forth below, unless otherwise stated, the Company believes that it is not probable that a loss has been incurred in such matter. With respect to any litigation matter below for which it is reasonably possible that an unfavorable outcome may occur, an estimate of loss or range of loss is disclosed when such amount or amounts can be reasonably estimated. Although the Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters and investigations pending against it, the results of litigation can be difficult to predict, particularly those involving jury trials. Therefore, it is possible that any of the following or other contingencies could have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company in future periods.
18. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
Contributions.  The Company contributed cash of $29 million to its pension plans and $2 million to its other postretirement benefit plans during the first half period ended June 28, 2019. The Company expects to contribute an additional $51 million to its pension plans and $6 million to its other postretirement benefit plans during the remainder of 2019.
19. Stock-Based Compensation
During the first half period ended June 28, 2019, the Company granted stock-based awards under the Amended and Restated 2008 Long Term Performance Plan in the form of restricted stock units. The stock-based compensation awards granted during the first half period ended June 28, 2019 are further discussed below.
Restricted Stock Units.  The Company granted 278,449 restricted stock units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $207.11 per share. Restricted stock units typically vest three years after the grant date for employees and one year after the grant

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED


date for non-employee directors, or if earlier, on the date of the first annual stockholders meeting held after the grant date. The restricted stock units automatically convert into shares of L3’s common stock upon vesting. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock unit awards is based on L3’s closing stock price at the date of grant and is generally recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. However, for employees who attain retirement eligibility status prior to the end of the three-year cliff vesting period and who have provided at least one year of service after the date of grant, compensation expense is recognized over the shorter period from the date of grant to the retirement eligibility date. For grants of restricted stock units made during the first half period ended June 28, 2019, retirement eligible employees are those employees that either: (1) have attained the age of 60 and completed at least five years of service (which service must be continuous through the date of termination except for a single break in service that does not exceed one year in length) or (2) have attained the age of 65 (without regard to their length of service at L3).
Upon completion of the Company's merger with Harris, and in accordance with the terms of the Company's stock-based compensation plans, unvested restricted stock units granted on or prior to October 12, 2018 fully vested, all unvested stock options fully vested and a pro-rata portion of the adjusted number of performance units and performance awards vested. The related compensation charge resulting from the acceleration of vesting of $34 million will be recorded in the Company's statement of operations on June 29, 2019.

21. Disaggregation of Net Sales
Disaggregation of Total Net Sales . The Company disaggregates its sales from contracts with customers by: (1) end customer, (2) contract type, (3) deliverable type and (4) revenue recognition method. The Company believes these factors affect the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the Company’s revenue and cash flows.
Sales by End Customer. Direct sales to the end customer represented approximately 66% and 64% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the quarterly periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively, and indirect sales as a subcontractor or supplier represented the remaining 34% and 36%, respectively. Direct sales to the end customer represented approximately 65% and 64% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the first half periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively, and indirect sales as a subcontractor or supplier represented the remaining 35% and 36%, respectively.

Sales by Contract Type. Generally, the sales price arrangements for the Company’s contracts are either fixed-price, cost-plus or time-and-material type. Fixed-price type contracts generally offer higher profit margin potential than cost-plus type or time-and-material type contracts due to the greater levels of risk assumed on a fixed-price type contract.
On a fixed-price type contract, the Company agrees to perform the contractual statement of work for a predetermined sales price. On a cost-plus type contract, the Company is paid its allowable incurred costs plus a profit which can be fixed or variable depending on the contract’s fee arrangement up to predetermined funding levels determined by the customer. Cost-plus type contracts with award and incentive fee provisions are the Company’s primary variable contract fee arrangement. On a time-and-material type contract, the Company is paid on the basis of direct labor hours expended at specified fixed-price hourly rates (that include wages, overhead, allowable general and administrative expenses and profit) and materials at cost.
Substantially all of the Company’s cost-plus type contracts and time-and-material type contracts are with U.S. Government customers, while sales to foreign government and commercial customers are generally transacted under fixed-price sales arrangements and are included in the Company’s fixed-price contract type sales. The tables below present total net sales disaggregated by contract type.
