EXPLANATORY NOTE

For convenience purposes in this filing on Form 10-Q/A, “L-3 Holdings” refers to L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc., and “L-3 Communications” refers to L-3 Communications Corporation, a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of L-3 Holdings. “L-3”, “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to L-3 Holdings and its subsidiaries, including L-3 Communications.

We are filing this Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment” or “Form 10-Q/A”) to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2014 following the completion of the internal review of our Aerospace Systems segment, which is discussed below. Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2014 (the “Form 10-Q”) was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 1, 2014. At the time of filing our Form 10-Q, we determined that our disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) were effective as of March 28, 2014.

This Amendment revises Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures, as it relates to our conclusions regarding the effectiveness of our DC&P. As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 26, 2014, as part of the findings from the internal review of the Aerospace Systems segment, we identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) that existed as of December 31, 2013. Solely as a result of these material weaknesses, we have concluded that our DC&P were not effective as of March 28, 2014.

In addition to the revision in Part I, Item 4 described above, this Amendment revises previously issued financial statements for: (1) accounting adjustments due to the internal review at our Aerospace Systems segment, (2) accounting error related to a sales-type lease transaction for flight simulator systems within our Electronic Systems segment, and (3) previously identified immaterial errors already recognized in our financial statements but not recorded in the appropriate periods. The accounting errors related to the sales-type lease transaction and immaterial out of period amounts are not related to the internal review at our Aerospace Systems segment.

See “Items Amended by this Filing” below for a description of the items of the Form 10-Q that are being amended pursuant to this Amendment. Concurrently with the filing of this Amendment, we are also filing an amendment to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Form 10-K/A”), which revises that report for the items discussed above.

Controls and Procedures: As part of the internal review of our Aerospace Systems segment, discussed below, we identified material weaknesses in our ICFR. The material weaknesses, further discussed in Item 4, Controls and Procedures, on page 56, are: (1) the Company did not maintain an effective control environment at its Aerospace Systems segment, with respect to: (i) inadequate execution of existing controls around the annual review and approval of contract (revenue arrangement) estimates; (ii) not following established Company accounting policies, controls and procedures, and (iii) intentional override of numerous transactional and monitoring internal controls at our Army Sustainment division; and (2) Company personnel did not perform reviews of certain employee concerns regarding violations of our accounting policies and ICFR in a sufficient and effective manner.

Internal Review of Aerospace Systems Segment: We conducted an internal review related to instances of misconduct and accounting errors at our Aerospace Systems segment. This review was conducted with the assistance of outside legal and accounting advisors, and has been completed. As a result of the internal review, we identified and recorded aggregate pre-tax charges as follows: (1) $60 million for 2013, (2) $25 million for 2012, (3) $5 million for 2011, and (4) $4 million for periods prior to 2011. Furthermore, our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three and six month periods ended June 27, 2014 and this Form 10-Q/A also include aggregate pre-tax charges related to the internal review of Aerospace Systems segment. The aggregate pre-tax charge related to the internal review of Aerospace Systems segment for the three months ended March 28, 2014 is approximately $20 million and for the three months ended June 27, 2014 is approximately $55 million.

The adjustments related to the internal review only affected the Logistics Solutions and Platform Systems sectors of the Aerospace Systems segment. The cumulative aggregate adjustments attributable to the Logistics Solutions sector are approximately $117 million, and at the Platform Systems sector are approximately $52 million. The Logistics Solutions sector adjustments relate to: (1) losses of $69 million with respect to the U.S. Army C-12 fixed-price maintenance and logistics support contract due to cost overruns inappropriately deferred, sales invoices inappropriately prepared, and the failure to timely and accurately perform contract estimates at completion and valuation assessments of inventories and receivables, at our Army Sustainment Division, and (2) accounting errors of $48 million in connection with the valuation of inventories and receivables, as well as the correction for certain accruals on other logistics support contracts. The Platform Systems sector adjustments are primarily due to: (1) losses of $37 million on two aircraft modification contracts and two contracts for rotary wing sub-assemblies and parts, and (2) write-offs of deferred costs of $15 million to design and test aerostructures for a new commercial aircraft.

Sales-Type Lease Transaction: We routinely perform on-site review accounting and internal control procedures on a rotational basis. As part of a previously planned review of our Simulation & Training business in the Electronic Systems segment and unrelated to the internal review at the Aerospace Systems segment, we evaluated the accounting treatment related to a sales-type lease transaction with the U.S. Army for rotary wing flight simulator systems. The period of performance under this contract began in 2004 and ends in 2023. Based on the results of this evaluation, we have adjusted our previously issued financial statements to: (1) increase interest income accretion on the net investment related to this sales-type lease transaction by an estimated aggregate amount of approximately $5 million for 2013, $3 million for each of 2012 and 2011 and $12 million for periods prior to 2011, and (2) decrease sales by approximately $7 million for 2013 and decrease cost of sales by approximately $7 million for 2013 and $5 million for periods prior to 2011. Furthermore, our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three and six month periods ended June 27, 2014 and the Form 10-Q/A also include an increase in interest income accretion of $2 million and a decrease in sales of approximately $8 million and related decrease in cost of sales by approximately $7 million.

Out of Period Amounts: We had identified various out of period amounts included in our previously issued financial statements that were deemed to be immaterial individually and in the aggregate. In prior periods, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 650-10-S99 and S55 (formerly Staff Accounting Bulletins (“SAB”) No. 99 and No. 108), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, we concluded that these errors were, individually, and in the aggregate, not material, quantitatively or qualitatively, to the financial statements in the period recorded or to the relevant prior periods. Accordingly, we recorded these errors in our financial statements in the period that the error was identified. We are, on a voluntary basis, revising our previously issued financial statements to correct for these errors already recognized in our financial statements but not recorded in the appropriate periods to reflect them in the appropriate period. These out of period amounts were not discovered as part of the internal review of the Aerospace Systems segment discussed above, but rather represent previously identified errors “resulting from mathematical mistakes, mistakes in application of generally accepted accounting principles, or oversight or misuse of facts that existed at the time the financial statements were prepared,” as defined in ASC 250-10-20 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. We are, therefore, not treating these amounts as changes in estimates. These errors consist of: (1) increases in development and material costs related to Broadband Communication Systems that were recorded in the first quarter of 2013 but should have been recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012, (2) a sub-contractor subscription deposit that was recorded as sales and income in the fourth quarter of 2012 but should have been amortized to sales and income during 2013, (3) costs accrued in the fourth quarter of 2012 for goods or services received in the first quarter of 2013, (4) several unrecorded liabilities that were recorded in the first quarter of 2013 but should have been recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012, (5) a correction of accrued vacation that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013 but should have been recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first, second and third quarters of 2013, and (6) a warranty reserve reduction recorded in the third quarter of 2012 that should have been recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011.

With respect to each of these immaterial out of period amounts included in the Company’s previously issued financial statements, the table below presents the: (1) nature of the adjustments, (2) applicable segment and (3) amount of increase (or decrease) to sales and operating income for the quarters ended December 31, September 27, June 28, and March 29, 2013.

For additional information regarding the effect the adjustments above had on previously issued financial statements, see Note 3 on page 9.

In accordance with ASC 650-10-S99 and S55, we performed an analysis to determine if the impact of the amounts disclosed above were material to previously issued financial statements. Based on that analysis, we believe that previously issued financial statements are not materially misstated on either a quantitative or qualitative basis. However, we believe that correcting these errors in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2014 would, in the aggregate, cause a material misstatement to forecasted pre-tax income and net income for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. Accordingly, we are correcting these errors by revising our previously issued financial statements to record all the adjustments in the tables above in the appropriate period.

Items Amended by this Filing

•

Part I — Item 1. Financial Statements

•

Part I — Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business

L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. derives all of its operating income and cash flows from its wholly-owned subsidiary, L-3 Communications Corporation (L-3 Communications). L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. (L-3 Holdings and, together with its subsidiaries, referred to herein as L-3 or the Company) is a prime contractor in aerospace systems and national security solutions. L-3 is also a leading provider of a broad range of communication and electronic systems and products used on military and commercial platforms. The Company’s customers include the United States (U.S.) Department of Defense (DoD) and its prime contractors, U.S. Government intelligence agencies, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Department of State (DoS), allied international governments, and domestic and international commercial customers.

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company reorganized its business segments to better align its organizational structure with customer priorities and increase operational efficiencies. After the realignment, L-3’s structure consists of the following four segments: Aerospace Systems, Electronic Systems, Communication Systems and National Security Solutions, as further described below.

Aerospace Systems: combines the operations of the former Platform & Logistics Solutions (P&LS) segment with Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems. ISR Systems was part of the former Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C³ISR) segment. Aerospace Systems delivers integrated solutions for the global ISR market and provides modernization, upgrade, sustainment, and maintenance and logistics support for a wide variety of aircraft and ground systems.

Electronic Systems: includes all of its previous businesses historically included in this segment except the Microwave Products businesses, which are now part of Communication Systems. Electronic Systems provides a broad range of components, products, subsystems, systems and related services for military and commercial customers.

Communication Systems: combines the operations of the Microwave Products businesses, which were previously part of the Electronic Systems reportable segment, with the operations of the Networked and Secure Communications Products businesses, previously part of the former C³ISR segment. Communication Systems delivers products and services for the global communications market, specializing in strategic and tactical airborne, space, ground and sea-based communication systems.

National Security Solutions (NSS): remains unchanged. NSS will continue to provide cybersecurity solutions, high-performance computing, enterprise information technology (IT) services, analytics and intelligence analysis.

Financial information with respect to the Company’s segments is included in Note 22 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Financial information for the first quarter of 2013 in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements has been revised for the segment realignment discussed above.

2. Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 28, 2014 should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of L-3 Holdings and L-3 Communications included in their Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed on October 10, 2014.

Principles of Consolidation and Reporting

The accompanying financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of L-3 Holdings and L-3 Communications. L-3 Holdings’ only asset is its investment in the common stock of L-3 Communications, its wholly-owned subsidiary, and its only obligations are: (1) the 3% Convertible Contingent Debt Securities (CODES) due 2035, which were issued by L-3 Holdings on July 29, 2005, (2) its guarantee of borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility of L-3 Communications and (3) its guarantee of other contractual obligations of L-3 Communications and its subsidiaries. L-3 Holdings’ obligations relating to the CODES have been jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by L-3 Communications and certain of its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. Accordingly, such debt has been reflected as debt of L-3 Communications in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards for pushdown accounting. All issuances of and conversions into L-3 Holdings’ equity securities, including grants of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units by L-3 Holdings to employees and directors of L-3 Communications and its subsidiaries, have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements of L-3 Communications.

As a result, the consolidated financial positions, results of operations and cash flows of L-3 Holdings and L-3 Communications are substantially the same. See Note 24 for additional information regarding the unaudited financial information of L-3 Communications and its subsidiaries.

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 and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q/A and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. 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, 2013 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 presentation 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 the Company’s established practice to close its books for the quarters ending March, June and September on the Friday nearest to 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 costs of sales during the reporting period. The most significant of these estimates and assumptions for L-3 relate to contract revenue, profit and loss recognition, fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, market values for inventories reported at lower of cost or market, pension and post-retirement benefit obligations, stock-based employee compensation expense, income taxes, including the valuation of deferred tax assets, litigation reserves and environmental obligations, accrued product warranty costs, and the recoverability, 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 will differ from these estimates and could differ materially.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

Sales and profits on contracts that are covered by accounting standards for construction-type and production-type contracts and federal government contractors are recognized using percentage-of-completion (POC) methods of accounting. Approximately 47% of the Company’s net sales in 2013 were accounted for under contract accounting standards, of which approximately 38% were fixed-price type contracts and approximately 9% were cost-plus type contracts. For contracts accounted for under contract accounting standards, sales and profits are recognized based on: (1) a POC method of accounting (fixed-price contracts), (2) allowable costs incurred plus the estimated profit on those costs (cost-plus contracts), or (3) direct labor hours expended multiplied by the contractual fixed rate per hour plus incurred costs for material (time-and-material contracts). Sales and profits on fixed-price production contracts under which units are produced and delivered in a continuous or sequential process are recorded as units are delivered based on their contractual selling prices (the “units-of-delivery” method). Sales and profits on each fixed-price production contract under which units are not produced and delivered in a continuous or sequential process, or under which a relatively few number of units are produced, are recorded based on the ratio of actual cumulative costs incurred to total estimated costs at completion of the contract multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative sales recognized in prior periods (the “cost-to-cost” method). Under both POC methods of accounting, a single estimated total profit margin is used to recognize profit for each contract over its entire period of performance, which can exceed one year.

Accounting for the sales and profit on these fixed-price type contracts requires the preparation of estimates of: (1) the total contract revenue, (2) the total costs at completion, which is equal to the sum of the actual incurred costs to date on the contract and the estimated costs to complete the contract’s statement of work, and (3) the measurement of progress towards completion. The estimated profit or loss at completion on a contract is equal to the difference between the total estimated contract revenue and the total estimated cost at completion. The profit recorded on a contract in any period using either the units-of-delivery method or cost-to-cost method is equal to the current estimated total profit margin multiplied by the cumulative sales recognized, less the amount of cumulative profit previously recorded for the contract.

Sales and profits on cost-plus type contracts that are covered by contract accounting standards are recognized as allowable costs are incurred on the contract, at an amount equal to the allowable costs plus the estimated profit on those costs. The estimated profit on a cost-plus type contract is fixed or variable based on the contractual fee arrangement. Incentive and award fees are the primary variable fee contractual arrangement types for the Company. Incentive and award fees on cost-plus type contracts are included as an element of total estimated contract revenues and are recorded to sales when a basis exists for the reasonable prediction of performance in relation to established contractual targets and the Company is able to make reasonably dependable estimates for them.

Sales and profits on time-and-material type contracts are recognized on the basis of direct labor hours expended multiplied by the contractual fixed rate per hour, plus the actual costs of materials and other direct non-labor costs.

Revisions or adjustments to estimates for a contract’s revenue, estimated costs at completion and estimated profit or loss are often 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 (loss) estimates for all types of contracts subject to POC accounting 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, as well as reduce the valuations of receivables and inventories, and in some cases result in liabilities to complete contracts in a loss

position. Aggregate net changes in contract estimates increased consolidated operating income by $32 million, or 11%, for the quarterly period ended March 28, 2014 and $17 million, or 5%, for the quarterly period ended March 29, 2013.

For a more complete discussion of these estimates and assumptions, see the Annual Report of L-3 Holdings and L-3 Communications on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed on October 10, 2014.

3. Revisions to Previously Issued Financial Statements

The Company is revising its previously issued financial statements to update for: (1) accounting adjustments due to the internal review at its Aerospace Systems segment, (2) accounting error related to a sales-type lease transaction for flight simulator systems within its Electronic Systems segment, and (3) previously identified immaterial errors already recognized in its financial statements but not recorded in the appropriate periods. The accounting errors related to the sales-type lease transaction and immaterial out of period amounts are not related to the internal review at its Aerospace Systems segment.

Internal Review of Aerospace Systems Segment: The Company conducted an internal review related to instances of misconduct and accounting errors at its Aerospace Systems segment. This review was conducted with the assistance of outside legal and accounting advisors, and has been completed. As a result of the internal review, the Company identified and recorded aggregate pre-tax charges as follows: (1) $60 million for 2013, (2) $25 million for 2012, (3) $5 million for 2011, and (4) $4 million for periods prior to 2011. Furthermore, this Form 10-Q/A also includes aggregate pre-tax charges related to the internal review of the Aerospace Systems segment. The pre-tax charges related to the internal review of the Aerospace Systems segment for the three months ended March 28, 2014 is approximately $20 million.

The adjustments related to the internal review only affected the Logistics Solutions and Platform Systems sectors of the Aerospace Systems segment. The cumulative aggregate adjustments attributable to the Logistics Solutions sector are approximately $91 million, and at the Platform Systems sector are approximately $23 million through March 28, 2014. The Logistics Solutions sector adjustments relate to: (1) losses of $58 million through March 28, 2014 with respect to the U.S. Army C-12 fixed-price maintenance and logistics support contract due to cost overruns inappropriately deferred, sales invoices inappropriately prepared, and the failure to timely and accurately perform contract estimates at completion and valuation assessments of inventories and receivables at the Army Sustainment Division, and (2) accounting errors of $33 million through March 28, 2014 in connection with the valuation of inventories and receivables, as well as the correction for certain accruals on other logistics support contracts. The Platform Systems sector adjustments are primarily due to: (1) losses of $11 million on two aircraft modification contracts and two contracts for rotary wing sub-assemblies and parts, and (2) write-offs of deferred costs of $12 million to design and test aerostructures for a new commercial aircraft.

Sales-Type Lease Transaction: The Company routinely performs on-site accounting and internal control review procedures on a rotational basis As part of a previously planned review of its Simulation & Training business in its Electronic Systems segment and unrelated to the internal review at its Aerospace Systems segment, the Company evaluated the accounting treatment related to a sales-type lease transaction with the U.S. Army for rotary wing flight simulator systems. The period of performance under this contract began in 2004 and ends in 2023. Based on the results of this evaluation, the Company has adjusted its previously issued financial statements to: (1) increase interest income accretion on the net investment related to this sales-type lease transaction by an estimated aggregate amount of approximately $5 million for 2013, $3 million for each of 2012

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

and 2011 and $12 million for periods prior to 2011, and (2) decrease sales by approximately $5 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2014 and $7 million for 2013 and related decrease in cost of sales by approximately $5 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2014 and $7 million for 2013 and $5 million for periods prior to 2011.

Out of Period Amounts: The Company identified various out of period amounts included in its previously issued financial statements that were deemed to be immaterial individually and in the aggregate. In prior periods, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 650-10-S99 and S55 (formerly Staff Accounting Bulletins (“SAB”) No. 99 and No. 108), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, the Company concluded that these errors were individually, and in the aggregate, not material, quantitatively or qualitatively, to the financial statements in the period recorded or to the relevant prior periods. Accordingly, the Company recorded these errors in its financial statements in the period that the error was identified. The Company, on a voluntary basis, is revising its previously issued financial statements to correct for these errors already recognized in its financial statements but not recorded in the appropriate periods to reflect them in the appropriate period. These out of period amounts were not discovered as part of the internal review of the Aerospace Systems segment discussed above, but rather represent previously identified errors “resulting from mathematical mistakes, mistakes in application of generally accepted accounting principles, or oversight or misuse of facts that existed at the time the financial statements were prepared,” as defined in ASC 250-10-20 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The Company, therefore, is not treating these amounts as changes in estimates. These errors consist of: (1) increases in development and material costs related to Broadband Communication Systems that were recorded in the first quarter of 2013 but should have been recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012, (2) a sub-contractor subscription deposit that was recorded as sales and income in the fourth quarter of 2012 but should have been amortized to sales and income during 2013, (3) costs accrued in the fourth quarter of 2012 for goods or services received in the first quarter of 2013, (4) several unrecorded liabilities that were recorded in the first quarter of 2013 but should have been recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012, (5) a correction of accrued vacation that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013 but should have been recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first, second and third quarters of 2013, and (6) a warranty reserve reduction recorded in the third quarter of 2012 that should have been recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011.

In accordance with ASC 650-10-S99 and S55, the Company performed an analysis to determine if the impact of the amounts disclosed above were material to its previously issued financial statements. Based on that analysis, the Company believes that its previously issued financial statements are not materially misstated on either a quantitative or qualitative basis. However, as a result of completing the review, the Company believes that correcting these errors in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2014 would, in the aggregate, cause a material misstatement to forecasted pre-tax income and net income for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. Accordingly, the Company is correcting these errors by revising its previously issued financial statements to record all the adjustments in the tables above in the appropriate period.

4. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amendments to an accounting standard that require an unrecognized tax benefit or portion of an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except when certain conditions exist. The adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that provides new guidance on the accounting and reporting of discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a

major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. Additionally, the new guidance requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. The update is effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2015. The adoption of this standard is not expected to impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows and will only affect the treatment of future discontinued operations.

5. Acquisitions

The business acquisitions discussed below are included in the Company’s results of operations from their respective dates of acquisition.

2014 Business Acquisition

On March 4, 2014, the Company acquired Data Tactics Corporation, renamed L-3 Data Tactics, for a purchase price of $57 million, which was financed with cash on hand. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on closing date actual net assets. L-3 Data Tactics is a specialized provider of large-scale data analytics, cybersecurity and cloud computing solution services, primarily to the DoD. Based on the preliminary purchase price, the aggregate goodwill recognized for this business was $40 million, most of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill was assigned to the NSS reportable segment. The final purchase price allocation, which is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2014, will be based on final purchase price, 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.

2013 Business Acquisition

On December 19, 2013, the Company acquired Mustang Technology Group, L.P. (Mustang) business for a purchase price of $54 million, which was financed with cash on hand. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on closing date net working capital. Mustang develops and manufactures radar-based sensors and systems used in precision-guided weapons, electronic warfare, unmanned systems and other military applications. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocations, the aggregate goodwill recognized for this business was $44 million, most of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill was assigned to the Electronic Systems reportable segment. The final purchase price allocation is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2014 and will be based on final purchase price, 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.

L-3 Holdings

Under select conditions, including if L-3 Holdings’ common stock price is more than 120% (currently $106.90) of the then current conversion price (currently $89.08) for a specified period, the conversion feature of the CODES will require L-3 Holdings, upon conversion, to pay the holders of the CODES the principal amount in cash, and if the settlement amount exceeds the principal amount, the excess will be settled in cash or stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s option. The current conversion rate is 11.2259 shares of common stock per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of CODES, which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $89.08 per share. At the current conversion price, the aggregate consideration to be delivered upon conversion would be determined based on 7.7 million shares of L-3 Holdings’ common stock. See Note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed on October 10, 2014, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, for additional information regarding the CODES, including conditions for conversion.

On March 31, 2014, the Company notified holders of the CODES that they are currently entitled to convert all or a portion of their CODES. The CODES are convertible because the closing price of L-3 Holdings common stock, for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading-day period ended on March 28, 2014 (the last trading day of the previous fiscal quarter), was greater than $106.90 (120% of the then current conversion price of $89.08) (the “trading price condition”). Holders’ right to convert pursuant to the trading price condition began March 31, 2014 and ends on June 27, 2014. As previously announced, the Company intends to settle the entire conversion payment obligation with respect to converted CODES, if any, in cash.

Interest expense recognized was $5 million for both quarterly periods ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013. The carrying amount of the equity component (conversion feature) of the CODES was $64 million at March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

11. Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As of March 28, 2014, the statutes of limitations for the Company’s U.S. Federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2010 through 2012 were open. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced audits of the Company’s U.S. Federal income tax returns for 2011 and 2010. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the audits at this time.

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 28, 2014 increased to 30.6% from 28.9% for the quarter ended March 29, 2013. The increase was primarily due to a tax benefit in the quarter ended March 29, 2013 of $12 million related to the U.S. Federal research and experimentation tax credit for 2012 and 2013, which did not recur in the quarter ended March 28, 2014. This increase was partially offset by a lower effective tax rate on foreign earnings.

As of March 28, 2014, the Company anticipates that unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $20 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 settlement.

Non-current income taxes payable include accrued potential interest of $12 million ($7 million after income taxes) at March 28, 2014 and $11 million ($7 million after income taxes) at December 31, 2013, and potential penalties of $7 million at March 28, 2014 and $8 million at December 31, 2013.

13. Equity

On February 5, 2013, L-3 Holdings’ Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that authorizes L-3 Holdings to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of its common stock through June 30, 2015. Repurchases of L-3 Holdings’ common stock under the share repurchase program are made at management’s discretion in accordance with applicable U.S. Federal securities laws in the open market or otherwise. The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the Company’s financial position, earnings, legal requirements, other investment opportunities (including acquisitions), and market conditions. L-3 Holdings repurchased 1.2 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $109.43 per share for an aggregate amount of $133 million from January 1, 2014 through March 28, 2014. All share repurchases of L-3 Holdings’ common stock have been recorded as treasury shares.

At March 28, 2014, the remaining dollar value of authorization under the share repurchase program was $735 million. From March 29, 2014 through April 23, 2014, L-3 Holdings repurchased 307,692 shares of its common stock at an average price of $116.98 per share for an aggregate amount of $36 million.

On February 11, 2014, L-3 Holdings’ Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.60 per share, which resulted in the Company paying total cash dividends of $52 million on March 17, 2014. In addition, during the quarter ended March 28, 2014, the Company paid $3 million of previously accrued dividends for employee held stock-awards.

⁽¹⁾

L-3 Holdings’ CODES had no impact on diluted EPS for the quarterly period ended March 29, 2013 as the average market price of L-3 Holdings’ common stock during this period was less than the price at which the CODES would have been convertible into L-3 Holdings common stock. As of March 28, 2014, the conversion price was $89.08.

The computation of diluted EPS excluded shares for stock options and employee stock purchase plan contributions of 0.4 million and shares for stock options of 1.8 million for the quarterly periods ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively, as they were anti-dilutive.

15. Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy level for each of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

⁽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 and consideration of non-performance risk.

⁽³⁾	Level 3 is based on pricing inputs that are not observable and not corroborated by market data. The Company has no Level 3 assets or liabilities.

16. Financial Instruments

At March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s financial instruments consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents, billed receivables, trade accounts payable, Senior Notes, CODES and foreign currency forward contracts. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, billed receivables and trade accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values because of their short-term maturities or the expected settlement dates of these instruments. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments are presented in the table below.

17. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s derivative financial instruments include foreign currency forward contracts, which are entered into for risk management purposes, and an embedded derivative representing the contingent interest payment provision related to the CODES.

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, and the British pound. The Company manages exposure to counterparty non-performance credit risk by entering into foreign currency forward contracts 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 March 28, 2014.


Currency	Notional Amounts
	(in millions)
Canadian dollar	$	222
U.S. dollar		115
Euro		83
British pound		13
Other		2

Total	$	435

At March 28, 2014, the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts had maturities through 2018.

Embedded Derivative. The embedded derivative related to the issuance of the CODES is recorded at fair value, which was zero at March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

At March 28, 2014, the estimated amount of existing gains that are expected to be reclassified into income within the next 12 months is $4 million.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees

In connection with the spin-off of Engility Holdings, Inc. (Engility), L-3 entered into a Distribution Agreement and several other agreements that govern certain aspects of L-3’s relationship with Engility, including employee matters, tax matters, transition services, and the future supplier/customer relationship between L-3 and Engility. These agreements generally provide cross-indemnities that, except as otherwise provided, are principally designed to place the financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of each entity with that respective entity. Engility has joint and several liability with L-3 to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the consolidated U.S. Federal income taxes of L-3’s consolidated group for taxable periods in which Engility was a part of that group. However, the Tax Matters Agreement specifies the portion of this tax liability for which L-3 and Engility will each bear responsibility, and L-3 and Engility have agreed to indemnify each other against any amounts for which the other is not responsible. The Tax Matters Agreement also allocates responsibility between L-3 and Engility for other taxes, including special rules for allocating tax liabilities in the event that the spin-off is determined not to be tax-free. Though valid as between the parties, the Tax Matters Agreement is not binding on the IRS.

Procurement Regulations

A substantial majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from providing products and services under legally binding agreements or contracts with U.S. Government and international government customers. 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

L-3 COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS, INC.

AND L-3 COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

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. 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. International government contracts generally include comparable provisions relating to terminations for convenience or default, as well as other procurement clauses relevant to the international government.

Litigation Matters

The Company is also subject to litigation, proceedings, claims or assessments and various contingent liabilities incidental to its businesses, including those 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. The estimated amounts of liabilities recorded for pending and threatened litigation are disclosed in Note 9. Amounts recoverable from insurance contracts or third parties are recorded as assets when deemed probable. At March 28, 2014, 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 quarterly and adjusts 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 one or more of the following matters, unless otherwise stated below, the Company believes that it is not probable that a loss has been incurred in any of these matters. With respect to the litigation matters 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. Accordingly, our current judgment as to the likelihood of our loss (or our current estimate as to the potential range of loss, if applicable) with respect to any particular litigation matter may turn out to be wrong. Therefore, it is possible that the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these or other contingencies.

Kalitta Air. On January 31, 1997, a predecessor of Kalitta Air filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the trial court) asserting, among other things, negligence and negligent misrepresentation against Central Texas Airborne Systems, Inc. (CTAS), a predecessor to L-3 Integrated Systems (L-3 IS), in connection with work performed by a predecessor to CTAS to convert two Boeing 747 aircraft from passenger configuration to cargo freighters. CTAS’ insurance carrier has accepted defense of this matter and has retained counsel, subject to a reservation of rights by the insurer to dispute its obligations under the applicable insurance policies in the event a judgment is ultimately rendered against CTAS. The work at issue in the lawsuit was performed using Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) issued in 1988 by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In 1996, following completion of the work, the FAA issued an airworthiness directive with respect to the STCs that effectively grounded the aircraft. Following two jury trials (in which Kalitta Air did not prevail) and related appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the Court of Appeals), a third jury trial for this matter began on October 31, 2011, during which Kalitta Air sought damages of approximately $235 million plus an unspecified amount of pre-judgment interest that, in other contexts, has been claimed by Kalitta Air to exceed $240 million. Following the completion of the third trial on November 30, 2011, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of CTAS, finding no negligence on the part of CTAS. The trial court entered a judgment upon the verdict on March 20, 2012. Kalitta Air filed an appeal of the judgment with the Court of Appeals on July 23, 2012, which ruled against Kalitta Air and affirmed the trial court’s judgment on November 25, 2013. The Court of Appeals subsequently denied Kalitta Air’s motion for a rehearing of its appeal. On April 3, 2014, Kalitta Air filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking review of the Court of Appeals’ November 25, 2013 decision. L-3 IS intends to file a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court opposing Kalitta Air’s petition for review.

Bashkirian Airways. On July 1, 2004, lawsuits were filed on behalf of the estates of 31 Russian children in the state courts of Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, New York and New Jersey against Honeywell, Honeywell TCAS, Thales USA, Thales France, the Company and Aviation Communications & Surveillance Systems (ACSS), which is a joint venture of L-3 and Thales. The suits relate to the crash over southern Germany of a Bashkirian Airways Tupelov TU 154M aircraft and a DHL Boeing 757 cargo aircraft. On-board the Tupelov aircraft were 9 crew members and 60 passengers, including 45 children. The Boeing aircraft carried a crew of two. Both aircraft were equipped with Honeywell/ACSS Model 2000, Change 7 Traffic Collision and Avoidance Systems (TCAS). Sensing the other aircraft, the on-board DHL TCAS instructed the DHL pilot to descend, and the Tupelov on-board TCAS instructed the Tupelov pilot to climb. However, the Swiss air traffic controller ordered the Tupelov pilot to descend. The Tupelov pilot disregarded the on-board TCAS and put the Tupelov aircraft into a descent striking the DHL aircraft in midair at approximately 35,000 feet. All crew and passengers of both planes were lost. Investigations by the National Transportation Safety Board after the crash revealed that both TCAS units were performing as designed. The suits allege negligence and strict product liability based upon the design of the units and the training provided to resolve conflicting commands and seek approximately $315 million in damages, including $150 million in punitive damages. The Company’s insurers have accepted defense of this matter and have retained counsel. The matters were consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, which then dismissed the actions on the basis of forum non conveniens. Plaintiffs representing 30 of the estates re-filed their complaint against ACSS on April 23, 2007 with the Barcelona Court’s Registry in Spain. On March 9, 2010, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs and entered judgment against ACSS in the amount of approximately $6.7 million, all of which represented compensatory damages. Both ACSS and the plaintiffs appealed the judgment. In May 2012, the appellate court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs and entered judgment against ACSS in the amount of $48 million. ACSS filed an appeal of the judgment with the Supreme Court of Spain on September 28, 2012. On July 1, 2013, the Supreme Court agreed to consider the appeal, and the parties are awaiting the Supreme Court’s decision. The Company believes that the ruling and the

damages awarded are inconsistent with the law and evidence presented and, accordingly, that it is not probable that the Company has incurred a loss with respect to this matter. As of the date of this filing, 18 out of the 30 plaintiffs have released their claims against ACSS in consideration for payments made by the Company’s insurance carriers.

20. Stock-Based Compensation

On February 19, 2014, the Company granted stock-based compensation under the Amended and Restated 2008 Long Term Performance Plan (2008 LTPP) in the form of stock options, restricted stock units and performance units further discussed below.

Stock Options. The Company granted 472,992 stock options with an exercise price of $113.67 per option, which was equal to the closing price of L-3 Holdings’ common stock on the date of grant. The options expire after 10 years from the date of grant and vest ratably over a three-year period on the annual anniversary of the date of grant. The options granted to our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer are also subject to performance-based vesting conditions. The weighted average grant date fair value for the options of $20.02 per option was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used in the valuation model for this grant are presented in the table below.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

Restricted Stock Units. The Company granted 402,870 restricted stock units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $113.67 per share. Restricted stock units automatically convert into shares of L-3 Holdings’ common stock upon vesting, and are subject to forfeiture until certain restrictions have lapsed, including a three year cliff vesting period for employees and a one year cliff vesting period for non-employee directors, in each case starting on the date of grant.

Performance Units. The Company granted 47,467 performance units with a weighted average grant date fair value per unit of $113.67. The final payout for these units is based on the achievement of pre-determined EPS goals established by the compensation committee of the Company’s Board of Directors for the three-year period ending December 31, 2016. The payout can range from zero to 200% of the original number of units awarded, which are converted into shares of L-3 Holdings’ common stock based on the then existing closing price at the end of the performance period.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview and Outlook

Explanatory Note

We are filing this Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment” or “Form 10-Q/A”) to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2014 following the completion of the internal review of our Aerospace Systems segment, which is discussed below. Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2014 (the “Form 10-Q”) was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 1 2014. At the time of filing our Form 10-Q, we determined that our disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) were effective as of March 28, 2014.

This Amendment revises Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures, as it relates to our conclusions regarding the effectiveness of our DC&P. As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 26, 2014, as part of the findings from the internal review of the Aerospace Systems segment, we identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), that existed as of March 28, 2014. Solely as a result of these material weaknesses, we have concluded that our DC&P were not effective as of March 28, 2014.

Controls and Procedures: As part of the internal review of our Aerospace Systems segment, discussed below, we identified material weaknesses in our ICFR. The material weaknesses, further discussed in Item 4, Controls and Procedures, on page 56, are: (1) the Company did not maintain an effective control environment at its Aerospace Systems segment, with respect to: (i) inadequate execution of existing controls around the annual review and approval of contract (revenue arrangement) estimates; (ii) not following established Company accounting policies, controls and procedures, and (iii) intentional override of numerous transactional and monitoring internal controls at our Army Sustainment division; and (2) Company personnel did not perform reviews of certain employee concerns regarding violations of our accounting policies and ICFR in a sufficient and effective manner.

Internal Review of Aerospace Systems Segment: We conducted an internal review related to instances of misconduct and accounting errors at our Aerospace Systems segment. This review was conducted with the assistance of outside legal and accounting advisors, and has been completed. As a result of the internal review, we identified and recorded aggregate pre-tax charges as follows: (1) $60 million for 2013, (2) $25 million for 2012, (3) $5 million for 2011, and (4) $4 million for periods prior to 2011. Furthermore, our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three and six month periods ended June 27, 2014 and the three month period ended March 28, 2014 also include aggregate pre-tax charges related to the internal review of Aerospace Systems segment. The aggregate pre-tax charge related to the internal review of Aerospace Systems segment for the three months ended March 28, 2014 is approximately $20 million and for the three months ended June 27, 2014 is approximately $55 million.

$52 million. The Logistics Solutions sector adjustments relate to: (1) losses of $69 million with respect to the U.S. Army C-12 fixed-price maintenance and logistics support contract due to cost overruns inappropriately deferred, sales invoices inappropriately prepared, and the failure to timely and accurately perform contract estimates at completion and valuation assessments of inventories and receivables, at our Army Sustainment Division, and (2) accounting errors of $48 million in connection with the valuation of inventories and receivables, as well as correction for certain accruals on other logistics support contracts. The Platform Systems sector adjustments are primarily due to: (1) losses of $37 million on two aircraft modification contracts and two contracts for rotary wing sub-assemblies and parts, and (2) write-offs of deferred of $15 million costs to design and test aerostructures for a new commercial aircraft.

Sales-Type Lease Transaction: We routinely perform on-site accounting and internal control review procedures on a rotational basis. As part of a previously planned review of our Simulation & Training business in the Electronic Systems segment and unrelated to the internal review at the Aerospace Systems segment, we evaluated the accounting treatment related to a sales-type lease transaction with the U.S. Army for rotary wing flight simulator systems. The period of performance under this contract began in 2004 and ends in 2023. Based on the results of this evaluation, we have adjusted our previously issued financial statements to: (1) increase interest income accretion on the net investment related to this sales-type lease transaction by an estimated aggregate amount of approximately $5 million for 2013, $3 million for each of 2012 and 2011 and $12 million for periods prior to 2011, and (2) decrease sales by approximately $7 million for 2013 and decrease cost of sales by approximately $7 million for 2013 and $5 million for periods prior to 2011. Furthermore, our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three and six month periods ended June 27, 2014 and this Form 10-Q/A also include an increase in interest income accretion of $2 million and a decrease in sales of approximately $8 million and related decrease in cost of sales by approximately $7 million.

We currently expect the percentage of our consolidated sales to the U.S. Government to decline from 73% of our consolidated 2013 sales to approximately 70% of our consolidated 2014 sales. U.S. Government sales include sales to the DoD, which we expect to decrease from approximately 68% of our consolidated 2013 sales to 65% of our consolidated 2014 sales. We also expect sales to commercial and international customers to increase to approximately 30% of our 2014 sales compared to 27% of our consolidated 2013 sales.

Business Environment

U.S. Government Markets. Sales to U.S. Government customers represented 73% of our consolidated 2013 sales, and were primarily to DoD customers, which comprised 68% of our consolidated sales. Therefore, our annual sales are generally highly correlated to changes in U.S. Government spending levels, especially DoD budget levels.

The DoD budget peaked in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 (FY 2010) at $690 billion and has declined since. The total DoD budget for FY 2013 was $578 billion, which declined 10% compared to the FY 2012 budget, with the base budget 6% lower than FY 2012 and the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) budget 29% lower than FY 2012. The total DoD enacted budget for FY 2014 is $581 billion.

The enacted FY 2013 and FY 2014 DoD budgets comply with the sequestration cuts required by the Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011 (BCA), as amended by The American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA) and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (BBA). ATRA, enacted on January 2, 2013, delayed the effective date of the BCA sequester cuts by two months to March 1, 2013 and reduced the sequester cuts to the FY 2013 DoD budget by $9 billion. The BBA, enacted on December 26, 2013, reduced budget sequester cuts to the DoD base budget by approximately $22 billion for FY 2014 and $9 billion for FY 2015 and increased the FY 2014 OCO budget by $6 billion compared to the amount requested by the Administration.

On March 4, 2014, the Obama Administration submitted its FY 2015 DoD Proposed Budget Request (PBR). The FY 2015 base budget request of $496 billion complies with the BCA sequestration cut spending caps, as amended by the BBA. The FY 2015 budget request also includes a $79 billion estimate for OCO. The total FY 2015 DoD budget request is $575 billion, a decline of 1% compared to the enacted FY 2014 DoD budget.

The table below presents the FY 2011 through FY 2014 enacted DoD budgets and the FY 2015 PBR. The FY 2015 PBR, submitted to Congress in March 2014, exceeds the BCA sequestration cut spending caps by $35 billion in FY 2016, $31 billion in FY 2017, $27 billion for FY 2018 and $22 billion for FY 2019. The table below excludes these amounts that exceed the BCA spending caps for FY 2016 to FY 2019.

While we believe that L-3 is well positioned to benefit from several of the DoD’s focus areas, declining DoD budgets will generally pressure and possibly reduce funding for some of our contracts, which could reduce our sales and operating income and negatively impact our results of operations and cash flows. Uncertainty continues to exist, even with the recent passage of the BBA, regarding how sequestration cuts will be implemented in future fiscal year DoD budgets and what challenges this may present for the defense industry, including L-3, our customers and suppliers. Furthermore, while members of Congress and the Administration continue to discuss various options to address sequestration and the U.S. Government’s overall fiscal challenges, we cannot predict the outcome of these efforts. We do not believe the FY 2014 sequester cuts to the DoD budget will have a significant negative impact on our results of operations or cash flows for the year ending December 31, 2014. However, depending on how future sequestration cuts are implemented, sequestration could have a material, negative impact on our results of operations and cash flows in the future. In addition, declining DoD budgets due to sequestration or other reductions could also potentially trigger non-cash goodwill impairment charges depending on how these reductions impact each of our reporting units. (See the discussion regarding goodwill in “Part II — Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed on October 10, 2014, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.)

International and Commercial Markets. Sales to end customers other than the U.S. Government represented 27% of our consolidated 2013 sales and we expect those sales to represent 30% of our consolidated 2014 sales. These sales are generally affected by international government security and military priorities, as well as the fiscal situations of our international government end customers, global economic conditions for our commercial end markets and our competitive success in winning new business and increasing market share.

Key Performance Measures

The primary financial performance measures that we use to manage our businesses and monitor results of operations are sales and operating income trends. Management believes that these financial performance measures are the primary growth drivers for our earnings and cash flow per common share. Generally, in evaluating our businesses and contract performance, we focus on net sales, operating income and operating margin, which we define as operating income as a percentage of sales, and not by type or amount of operating costs.

One of our primary business objectives is to increase sales organically and through select business acquisitions. We define organic sales growth as the increase or decrease in sales for the current period compared

to the prior period, excluding sales in the: (1) current period from business acquisitions that are included in our actual results of operations for less than twelve months, and (2) prior period from business divestitures that are included in our actual results of operations for the twelve-month period prior to the divestiture date. We expect to supplement, strengthen and enhance our existing businesses by selectively acquiring businesses that: (1) add important new technologies and products, (2) provide access to select customers, programs and contracts and (3) provide attractive returns on investment. Another important financial performance measure that we use is operating margin, because sales growth combined with operating margin levels determine our operating income levels.

Sales Trend. For the 2014 First Quarter, consolidated net sales of $2,957 million decreased by $240 million, or 7.5%, compared to the 2013 First Quarter, due to a decrease in organic sales of $253 million, or 7.9%, partially offset by net sales from acquisitions of $14 million, or 0.5%. See Results of Operations, including segment results below for a discussion of sales.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, our largest contract (revenue arrangement) in terms of annual sales was the Fort Rucker Maintenance Support contract with the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (AMCOM), which is included in our Aerospace Systems segment. Under this contract, which generated approximately 4% of our 2013 sales, we provide maintenance, logistics and other related sustainment support services for rotary wing aircraft assigned to Fort Rucker and satellite units in Alabama. Our period of performance, including unexercised annual options, continues through September 30, 2017.

We derived approximately 68% of our 2013 sales from DoD customers and, as a result, our sales trends are generally highly correlated to DoD budget levels. DoD budgets are a function of several factors and uncertainties beyond our control, including, but not limited to, changes in U.S. procurement policies, budget considerations, current and future economic conditions, presidential administration priorities, U.S. military engagements, changing national security and defense requirements, geo-political developments, actual fiscal year congressional appropriations for defense budgets, and sequestration and other DoD budget reductions. Any of these factors could result in a significant increase, decrease or redirection of DoD budgets and impact our future results of operations, including our sales and operating income growth rates. Additionally, our future results of operations will be affected by our ability to retain our existing business, including our revenue arrangements with DoD customers, and to successfully compete for new business, which largely depends on: (1) our successful performance on existing contracts, (2) the effectiveness and innovation of our technologies and research and development activities, (3) our ability to offer better program performance than our competitors at an affordable cost, and (4) our ability to retain our employees and hire new ones, particularly those employees who have U.S. Government security clearances. We expect our 2014 consolidated sales to decline by approximately 5% compared to 2013, primarily due to the decline in DoD budgets.

Operating Income Trend. Operating income for the 2014 First Quarter was $286 million, a decrease of 7.7% from $310 million for the 2013 First Quarter. Our operating margin was unchanged for both the 2014 First Quarter and the 2013 First Quarter. See Results of Operations, including segment results below for a discussion of operating margin.

While we continue to undertake cost management actions, such as reducing our indirect costs, resizing select business units, and improving our productivity and contract performance in an effort to maintain or even increase operating margin, these efforts may not be successful. Changes in the competitive environment and DoD procurement practices, reductions to the DoD budget, lower consolidated sales, and changes in our annual pension expense and severance costs could result in lower operating margin. Furthermore, select business acquisitions and select new business, including contract renewals and new contracts, could have lower operating margins than L-3’s operating margins on existing business and contracts. We expect our 2014 annual consolidated operating margin to increase as compared to 2013, primarily due to lower expected pension expense.

Business Acquisitions and Dispositions

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 summarizes the business acquisitions and dispositions that we completed during the three years ended December 31, 2013. During the 2014 First Quarter, we acquired Data Tactics Corporation (L-3 Data Tactics) with $57 million of cash on hand. Business acquisitions are included in our consolidated results of operations from their dates of acquisition. See Note 5 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our business acquisitions.

Net Sales: For the 2014 First Quarter, consolidated net sales of $3.0 billion decreased $240 million, or 8%, compared to the 2013 First Quarter. Sales to the U.S. Government, including the DoD declined 12% and impacted each segment. Acquired businesses, which are included in the Electronic Systems and NSS segments, increased net sales by $14 million in the 2014 First Quarter. Net sales to international and commercial customers increased 7%, or $52 million, to $850 million in the 2014 First Quarter, compared to $798 million in the 2013 First Quarter. Net sales to international and commercial customers, as a percentage of consolidated net sales, increased to 29% for the 2014 First Quarter as compared to 25% for the 2013 First Quarter.

Sales of products decreased by $172 million to $1,649 million, or 56% of consolidated net sales, for the 2014 First Quarter, compared to $1,821 million, or 57% of consolidated net sales, for the 2013 First Quarter. Sales of products decreased for: (1) Broadband Communication Systems primarily due to lower volume as contracts near completion and demand declines due to sequestration, other DoD budget reductions and the U.S. military drawdown from Afghanistan, (2) ISR Systems due to sales of small ISR aircraft to the United States Air Force (USAF) in the 2013 First Quarter, (3) Sensor Systems primarily due to the completion of a force protection contract and lower volume primarily for airborne EO/IR turrets due to the U.S. military drawdown from Afghanistan, (4) Platform Systems primarily due to the USAF Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) program nearing

completion, reduced volume for U.S. Navy maritime patrol aircraft from reduced funding, and reduced deliveries of aircraft cabin assemblies, and (5) Precision Engagement & Training primarily due to reduced deliveries and volume for trainers and completed contracts for guidance products.

Sales of services decreased by $68 million to $1,308 million, or 44% of consolidated net sales, for the 2014 First Quarter, compared to $1,376 million, or 43% of consolidated net sales, for the 2013 First Quarter. Sales of services decreased primarily due to: (1) lower volume for small ISR aircraft systems due to the drawdown from Afghanistan, (2) reduced volume for JCA fleet management services, (3) lower demand for aircraft maintenance services from the Canadian Department of Defence (DND), and (4) reduced volume for technical and information technology (IT) support services due to lower demand and completed contracts. See the reportable segment results below for additional discussion of our sales trends.

Operating income and operating margin: Operating income for the 2014 First Quarter of $286 million decreased $24 million, or 8%, compared to the 2013 First Quarter. Operating margin was unchanged at 9.7% for both the 2014 First Quarter and the 2013 First Quarter. Operating margin increased by 80 basis points primarily due to lower pension expense of $24 million. Lower sales and mix changes primarily for Aerospace Systems, were partially offset by improved contract performance across several business areas, reduced operating margin by approximately 70 basis points. Additionally, 2014 First Quarter severance charges increased $3 million to $8 million compared to the 2013 First Quarter, reducing operating margin by 10 basis points. See the reportable segment results below for additional discussion of our operating margin trends.

Effective income tax rate: The effective tax rate for the 2014 First Quarter increased to 30.6% from 28.9% for the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to a $12 million tax benefit for the retroactive reinstatement in the 2013 First Quarter of the U.S. Federal research and experimentation (R&E) tax credit for 2012 and 2013, compared to no R&E tax credit in the 2014 First Quarter. This increase was partially offset by a lower effective tax rate on foreign earnings.

Net income attributable to L-3 and diluted earnings per share (EPS): Net income attributable to L-3 in the 2014 First Quarter decreased 11% to $170 million compared to the 2013 First Quarter and diluted EPS decreased 9% to $1.90 from $2.09.

Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding: Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the 2014 First Quarter declined by 2% compared to the same period last year. The decline was due to repurchases of L-3 common stock in connection with our share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors, partially offset by additional shares issued in connection with various employee stock-based compensation programs and contributions to employee savings plans made in common stock.

Aerospace Systems net sales for the 2014 First Quarter decreased by $117 million, or 10%, compared to the 2013 First Quarter. Sales decreased $66 million for Platform Systems and $51 million for ISR Systems. Sales for Logistics Solutions remained substantially the same. Platform Systems sales decreased: (1) $28 million due to lower USAF JCA volume as the contract nears completion, (2) $24 million primarily due to lower volume for aircraft maintenance for the DND due to timing and reduced funding and certain international commercial modification contracts nearing completion, (3) $17 million primarily due to lower volume for U.S. Navy maritime patrol aircraft resulting from reduced funding caused by U.S. Government sequestration cuts, and (4) $16 million due to reduced deliveries of aircraft cabin assemblies. These decreases were partially offset by a sales increase of $19 million for Australia C-27J aircraft due to timing of contract deliverables. ISR Systems sales declined primarily due to lower sales and volume for small ISR aircraft and aircraft systems due to the U.S. military drawdown in Afghanistan, partially offset by higher volume for logistic support and fleet management services to the DoD and ISR platforms for foreign military customers.

Aerospace Systems operating income for the 2014 First Quarter decreased by $34 million, or 27%, compared to the 2013 First Quarter. Operating margin declined by 200 basis points to 8.7%. Operating margin declined by 330 basis points primarily due to lower sales and mix changes at ISR Systems and sales mix changes at Logistics Solutions. This decrease was partially offset by 60 basis points due to improved contract performance and 70 basis points due to lower pension expense of $8 million.

Electronic Systems

Electronic Systems net sales for the 2014 First Quarter decreased by $32 million, or 3%, compared to the 2013 First Quarter. Sales decreased: (1) $42 million for Precision Engagement & Training due to reduced deliveries of U.S. Army rotary wing training systems for the Flight School XXI program, lower volume for upgrades for F/A-18 flight simulator trainers and completed contracts for guidance products and (2) $38 million for Sensor Systems primarily due to the completion of a contract for force protection products for a foreign ministry of defense and lower volume for airborne EO/IR turrets due to the U.S. military drawdown from Afghanistan. These decreases were partially offset by sales increases of $22 million primarily due to the timing of deliveries of commercial shipbuilding products and $16 million for Power & Propulsion Systems due to higher volume on an engine contract to a foreign military and the Missile Defense Agency’s air-launched ballistic missile target programs. Sales from the Mustang Technology Group acquisition added $10 million.

Electronic Systems operating income for the 2014 First Quarter increased by $8 million, or 7%, compared to the 2013 First Quarter. Operating margin increased by 100 basis points to 11.6%. Lower pension expense of $8 million increased operating margin by 70 basis points and improved contract performance, primarily for Precision Engagement & Training, increased operating margin by 70 basis points. These increases were partially offset by 40 basis points due to lower sales and mix changes primarily for Sensor Systems.

Communication Systems

Communication Systems net sales for the 2014 First Quarter decreased by $65 million, or 11%, compared to the 2013 First Quarter. Sales decreased $37 million for Tactical Satellite Communications products primarily due to reduced deliveries of mobile and ground-based satellite communications systems for the U.S. military due to lower demand and $39 million for Broadband Communication Systems primarily due to: (1) lower U.S. Army demand for remote video terminals and ISR support services primarily driven by the U.S. military drawdown from Afghanistan and (2) lower volume for airborne and ground-based networked communication systems as contracts near completion and demand declines due to sequestration and other DoD budget reductions. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $11 million for Space & Power Systems primarily due to increased deliveries of power devices for commercial satellites.

Communication Systems operating income for the 2014 First Quarter increased by $5 million, or 11%, compared to the 2013 First Quarter. Operating margin increased 200 basis points to 9.9%. Operating margin increased 80 basis points primarily due to lower development and production costs for Broadband Communication Systems and 160 basis points due to lower pension expense of $8 million. These increases were partially offset by 40 basis points due to higher severance costs of $2 million compared to the 2013 First Quarter.

NSS

NSS net sales for the 2014 First Quarter decreased by $26 million, or 8%, compared to the 2013 First Quarter. Sales declined by $13 million for Intelligence Solutions primarily due to work scope reductions on a technical support contract for a U.S. Government agency due to U.S. Government sequestration cuts. Sales declined by $10 million for Federal Solutions primarily due to the completion of a contract for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Sales also declined by $7 million for Defense Solutions primarily due to lower demand and completed contracts, partially offset by a new IT services contract for the U.S. Army reserve. These decreases were partially offset by the L-3 Data Tactics acquisition, which added $4 million of sales.

NSS operating income for the 2014 First Quarter decreased by $3 million, or 14%, compared to the 2013 First Quarter. Operating margin decreased by 50 basis points to 5.9% primarily due to lower award fees for IT and intelligence support services contracts and lower margins on new business due to competitive pricing pressure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Anticipated Sources and Uses of Cash Flow

At March 28, 2014, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $227 million as compared to $500 million at December 31, 2013. While no amounts of the cash and cash equivalents are considered restricted, $166 million was held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries at March 28, 2014. The repatriation of cash held in non-U.S. jurisdictions is subject to local capital requirements, as well as income tax considerations. Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow generated from operations and our cash on hand. We used $62 million of cash from operating activities during the 2014 First Quarter. Significant cash used during the 2014 First Quarter also included $133 million to repurchase shares of our common stock, $57 million for a business acquisition, $55 million paid for dividends and $30 million for capital expenditures.

As of March 28, 2014, we had the availability of all of our $1 billion Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility. Our Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility expires on February 3, 2017. We currently believe that our cash from operating activities generated during the year, together with our cash on hand, and available borrowings under our Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate for the foreseeable future to meet our anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, defined benefit plan contributions, commitments, contingencies, research and development expenditures, business acquisitions (depending on the size), program and other discretionary investments, interest payments, income tax payments, L-3 Holdings’ dividends and share repurchases.

On March 31, 2014, we notified holders of our 3% Convertible Contingent Debt Securities (CODES) that they are currently entitled to convert all or a portion of their CODES. The CODES are convertible because the closing prices of L-3 Holdings common stock met the trading price condition of the CODES during the 2014 First Quarter. See Note 10 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report for a description of the trading price condition. The holders’ right to convert began March 31, 2014 and ends on June 27, 2014. As previously announced, we will settle the entire conversion obligation with respect to converted CODES, if any, in cash. We anticipate funding any converted CODES with cash on hand and from borrowings under our revolving credit facility and/or through the issuance of new debt. At March 28, 2014, the conversion value of the CODES was approximately $900 million, of which $4 million relates to an income tax recapture liability. The income tax recapture liability is based on the difference between the tax basis and conversion value of the CODES. At December 31, 2013, the deferred tax liability related to the income tax recapture was $81 million.

Our business may not continue to generate cash flow at current levels and, if we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our debt, we may be required to reduce costs and expenses, sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, reduce dividend payments, refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or obtain additional financing. We may not be able to do this on a timely basis, on satisfactory terms, or at all. Our ability to make scheduled principal payments or to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general conditions in or affecting the U.S. defense industry and to general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our control.

Balance Sheet

Billed receivables increased by $77 million to $1,068 million at March 28, 2014, from $991 million at December 31, 2013 primarily due to the timing of billings and collections primarily for Marine & Power Systems, Integrated Sensor Systems, Platform Systems and Precision Engagement & Training and $4 million from the L-3 Data Tactics business acquisition, partially offset by collections for Broadband Communication Systems.

Contracts in process increased by $217 million to $2,648 million at March 28, 2014, from $2,431 million at December 31, 2013 due to an increase of $166 million in unbilled contracts receivables, $48 million in inventoried contract costs, $4 million from the L-3 Data Tactics business acquisition, and $1 million for reclassification adjustments, partially offset by a $2 million decrease for foreign currency translation adjustments. The increase in unbilled contracts receivables is primarily due to sales exceeding billings for NSS, ISR Systems, Broadband Communication Systems, Platform Systems and Space & Propulsion Systems. The increase in inventoried contract costs is due to the timing of deliveries across several business areas, primarily Warrior Systems, Precision Engagement & Training and Sensor Systems partially offset by decreases in COMSEC & Specialty RF Products.

L-3’s receivables days sales outstanding (DSO) was 79 at March 28, 2014, compared with 71 at December 31, 2013 and 75 at March 29, 2013. We calculate our DSO by dividing: (1) our aggregate end of period billed receivables and net unbilled contract receivables, by (2) our trailing 12 month sales adjusted, on a pro forma basis, to include sales from business acquisitions and exclude sales from business divestitures that we completed as of the end of the period, multiplied by the number of calendar days in the trailing 12 month period (364 days at March 28, 2014, 365 days at December 31, 2013 and 364 days at March 29, 2013). Our trailing 12 month pro forma sales were $12,451 million at March 28, 2014, $12,657 million at December 31, 2013 and $13,193 million at March 29, 2013. The increase in DSO was primarily due to the increase in billed receivables and net unbilled contract receivables and the decline in our trailing 12 months pro forma sales.

Inventories increased primarily for Security & Detection Systems and Tactical Satellite Communications products to support customer demand.

Goodwill increased by $25 million to $7,821 million at March 28, 2014 from $7,796 million at December 31, 2013. The table below presents the changes in goodwill by segment.

⁽¹⁾	The increase in goodwill for the NSS segment is due to the L-3 Data Tactics business acquisition.

⁽²⁾	The decrease in goodwill presented in the Aerospace Systems and Electronic Systems segments was primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar during the quarter ended March 28, 2014.

The decrease in identifiable intangible assets was primarily due to amortization expense, partially offset by $9 million of intangible assets recognized for the L-3 Data Tactics business acquisition.

The fluctuations in accounts payable and accrued expenses were primarily due to the timing of when invoices for purchases from third party vendors and subcontractors were received and payments were made.

The decrease in advance payments and billings in excess of costs incurred was primarily due to the liquidation of balances on contracts for Platform Systems, Marine Systems International and Marine & Power Systems.

The increase in pension and postretirement benefit plan liabilities was primarily due to pension expense (excluding amortization of net losses) exceeding cash contributions during the 2014 First Quarter. We expect to contribute cash of approximately $97 million to our pension plans in 2014, of which $14 million was contributed during the 2014 First Quarter.

Non-current deferred income tax liabilities increased primarily due to amortization of certain goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets for tax purposes.

Other liabilities decreased primarily due to long-term accrued incentive compensation, warranty reserves and notes payable reclassified to current liabilities.

Statement of Cash Flows

2014 First Quarter Compared with 2013 First Quarter

The table below provides a summary of our cash flows (used in) from operating, investing, and financing activities for the periods indicated.


	First Quarter Ended
	March 28, 2014			March 29, 2013			Increase/ (decrease)
	(in millions)
Net cash (used in) from operating activities	$	(62	)	$	146		$	(208	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(86	)		(54	)		(32	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(124	)		(158	)		34

Operating Activities

We used $62 million of cash from operating activities during the 2014 First Quarter, a decrease of $208 million compared with $146 million of cash generated from operating activities during the 2013 First Quarter. The use of cash in the 2014 First Quarter compared to cash generated in the 2013 First Quarter was due

to: (1) $186 million of more cash used for changes in operating assets and liabilities due to increases in working capital primarily for contracts in process, accounts payable and inventory, (2) lower net income of $20 million and (3) lower non-cash expenses of $2 million primarily due to lower pension expense. See the discussion above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Balance Sheet” for additional information on changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Investing Activities

During the 2014 First Quarter, we used $86 million of cash, including $57 million for the acquisition of L-3 Data Tactics and $30 million for capital expenditures. The 2013 First Quarter includes $49 million for capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

Debt

At March 28, 2014, total outstanding debt was $3,631 million, of which $2,942 million was senior debt and $689 million was CODES, compared to $3,630 million at December 31, 2013, of which $2,941 million was senior debt and $689 million was CODES. At March 28, 2014, there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under our $1 billion Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility and we had all of our $1 billion facility available for future borrowings. We also had $614 million of outstanding standby letters of credit with financial institutions covering performance and financial guarantees per contractual requirements with certain customers, at March 28, 2014. These standby letters of credit may be drawn upon in the event that we do not perform on certain of our contractual requirements. At March 28, 2014, our outstanding senior notes mature between November 15, 2016 and February 15, 2021. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Anticipated Sources and Uses of Cash Flow” within this section for information regarding the conversion of the CODES. Also, see Note 10 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report for the components of our debt at March 28, 2014.

Debt Covenants and Other Provisions. The Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes contain financial and/or other restrictive covenants. See Note 11 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed on October 10, 2014, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, for a description of our debt, related financial covenants and cross default provisions, and for additional information regarding the CODES, including conditions for conversion. As of March 28, 2014, we were in compliance with our financial and other restrictive covenants.

Guarantees. The borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by L-3 Holdings and by substantially all of the material 100% owned domestic subsidiaries of L-3 Communications on an unsecured senior basis. The payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on an unsecured senior basis, jointly and severally, by L-3 Communications’ material 100% owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee any of its other indebtedness. The payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest on the CODES is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, jointly and severally, by L-3 Communications and its 100% owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee any of its other liabilities.

Subordination. The guarantees of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility and the Senior Notes rank senior to the guarantees of the CODES and rank pari passu with each other.

Equity

Repurchases of L-3 Holdings’ common stock, under the share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors, are made from time to time at management’s discretion, in accordance with applicable U.S. Federal securities laws, in the open market or otherwise. The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the

future will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s financial position, earnings, legal requirements, other investment opportunities (including acquisitions), market conditions and other factors. All share repurchases of L-3 Holdings’ common stock have been recorded as treasury shares.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain of the matters discussed in this report, including information regarding the Company’s 2014 financial outlook, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than historical facts may be forward-looking statements, such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “likely,” “projects,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements. The Company cautions investors that these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the Company’s control that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, the following: our dependence on the defense industry; backlog processing and program slips resulting from delayed awards and/or funding from the Department of Defense (DoD) and other major customers; the U.S. Government fiscal situation; changes in DoD budget levels and spending priorities; U.S. Government failure to raise the debt ceiling; our reliance on contracts with a limited number of customers and the possibility of termination of government contracts by unilateral government action or for failure to perform; the extensive legal and regulatory requirements surrounding many of our contracts; our ability to retain our existing business and related contracts; our ability to successfully compete for and win new business; or, identify, acquire and integrate additional businesses; our ability to maintain and improve our operating margin; the availability of government funding and changes in customer requirements for our products and services; our significant amount of debt and the restrictions contained in our debt agreements; our ability to continue to recruit, retain and train our employees; actual future interest rates, volatility and other assumptions

used in the determination of pension benefits and equity based compensation, as well as the market performance of benefit plan assets; our collective bargaining agreements, our ability to successfully negotiate contracts with labor unions and our ability to favorably resolve labor disputes should they arise; the business, economic and political conditions in the markets in which we operate; global economic uncertainty; the DoD’s Better Buying Power and other efficiency initiatives; events beyond our control such as acts of terrorism; our ability to perform contracts on schedule; our international operations; our extensive use of fixed-price type revenue arrangements; the rapid change of technology and high level of competition in which our businesses participate; our introduction of new products into commercial markets or our investments in civil and commercial products or companies; the outcome of litigation matters; results of audits by U.S. Government agencies and of on-going governmental investigations; the impact on our business of improper conduct by our employees, agents or business partners; ultimate resolution of contingent matters, claims and investigations relating to acquired businesses, and the impact on the final purchase price allocations; and the fair values of our assets.

In addition, for a discussion of other risks and uncertainties that could impair our results of operations or financial condition, see “Part I — Item 1A — Risk Factors” and “Part II — Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed on October 10, 2014, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A, and any material updates to these factors contained in any of our future filings.

Readers of this document are cautioned that our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the actual results or developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements.

As for the forward-looking statements that relate to future financial results and other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainties of estimates, forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than projected and such differences could be material. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements also represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date that they were made. We expressly disclaim a duty to provide updates to these forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, after the date of this filing, to reflect events or changes in circumstances or changes in expectations or the occurrence of anticipated events.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 related to L-3 Holdings and L-3 Communications is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

In connection with the filing of the Form 10-Q on May 1, 2014, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 28, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer had concluded that as of March 28, 2014, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Subsequent to the evaluation made in connection with the original filing of the Form 10-Q on May 1, 2014, in connection with the internal review of our Aerospace Systems segment and the resulting identified material weaknesses described in Note 3 on page 9, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, reevaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 28, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of March 28, 2014, to accomplish their objectives. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described below, management has concluded that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for each of the periods presented herein.

Description of Material Weaknesses

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based on

our assessment following the completion of the internal review of the Aerospace Systems segment discussed in Note 3 on page 9, the following material weaknesses continue to exist as of March 28, 2014.

The Company did not maintain an effective control environment at its Aerospace Systems segment, with respect to: (a) inadequate execution of existing controls around the annual review and approval of contract (revenue arrangement) estimates, (b) not following established Company accounting policies, controls and procedures, and (c) intentional override of numerous transactional and monitoring internal controls at its Army Sustainment division, with regard to the: (i) valuation of inventories, unbilled contract receivables and billed receivables; (ii) preparation of contract invoices; (iii) preparation, review and approval of contract estimates; (iv) recognition of cost overruns on a fixed-price maintenance and logistics support contract; (v) review and analysis of division quarterly financial statements; (vi) physical counts of inventory; and (vii) preparation, review and approval of journal entries.

Company personnel did not perform reviews of certain employee concerns regarding violations of the Company’s accounting policies and ICFR in a sufficient and effective manner, including assigning those matters to the appropriate subject matter experts for resolution, and informing appropriate members of senior management and the audit committee about the nature of the concerns, and the scope and results of the reviews.

These material weaknesses resulted in immaterial adjustments of the Company’s billed receivables, unbilled contract receivables, inventories, net sales, cost of sales, income tax expense and net income accounts, as well as earnings per share and related financial statements disclosures. Accordingly, the material weaknesses did not result in any material misstatements of the Company’s financial statements and disclosures for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, or 2011 or the three months ended March 28, 2014. However, these material weaknesses, if not remediated, could result in material misstatements to the Company’s annual financial statements or to the interim consolidated financial statements and related disclosures that would not be prevented or detected.

Remediation Plans for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In response to these identified material weaknesses, our management, with oversight from our audit committee, is dedicating significant resources to improve our ICFR and to address the identified material weaknesses. These efforts are ongoing and are focused on strengthening the Company’s control environment and organizational structure by taking the following actions:

•

The Company has terminated four employees at its Aerospace Systems segment and one employee at its Aerospace Systems segment resigned. The Company replaced its Aerospace Systems segment chief financial officer, the Logistics Solutions sector president, the Logistics Solutions general counsel, the Army Sustainment division president and the Army Sustainment division vice president of finance at the time of the misconduct.

•

The Company has enhanced and reinforced its quarterly and annual financial statement certification process for the Company’s Aerospace Systems segment and its divisions.

The Company will also improve its policies and procedures by:

•

conducting re-training sessions for its financial management at the Aerospace Systems segment and its divisions with regard to the Company’s accounting policies and ICFR for (i) valuation of inventories, unbilled contract receivables and billed receivables; (ii) the preparation of contract invoices; (iii) the preparation, review and approval of contract estimates; (iv) the recognition of incurred costs on fixed-price service contracts; (v) review and analysis of division quarterly financial statements; (vi) physical counts of inventory; and (vii) preparation, review and approval of journal entries. This training will be conducted by senior corporate financial management;

•

expanding the testing of the compliance with the Company’s ICFR by the Aerospace Systems segment and its divisions; and

•

strengthening the Company’s procedures for the review of employee concerns regarding violations of the Company’s accounting policies and ICFR by designating one or more senior employees that will be responsible for ensuring that such concerns are reviewed in an effective manner, including by (i) when appropriate, assigning these matters to subject matter experts for review and resolution, and (ii) informing the appropriate members of senior management and the audit committee on a timely basis about the nature of the employee concerns and the scope and results of such reviews. These senior employees will report to the Company’s chief executive officer and the audit committee with respect to such employee concerns.

We believe these additional internal controls will be effective in remediating the material weaknesses described above, and we will continue to devote significant time and attention to these remedial efforts. However, we do not expect that our ICFR will be considered effective as of December 31, 2014 because we do not expect to complete our testing of the remediated controls by such time. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our ICFR, management may determine to take additional measures to address the material weaknesses or determine to modify the remediation plan described above. Until the remediation steps set forth above are fully implemented, the material weaknesses described above will continue to exist.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 28, 2014 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The information required with respect to this item can be found in Note 18 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Part I — Item 1A — Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K/A, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, including the risk factor discussed below, and “Part II — Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Overview and Outlook — Business Environment”, in our Form 10-K/A which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in “Part I — Item 1A — Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The risks described in our Form 10-K/A and herein are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

We have determined that material weaknesses exist in our internal control over financial reporting which could, if not remediated, have a material adverse impact on our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements.

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. As discussed in Part I — Item 4, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 and March 28, 2014. Solely as a result of these material weaknesses, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2013 and that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2013 or March 28, 2014.

A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Although we continue to devote significant time and attention to remedy the identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, we do not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will be considered effective as of December 31, 2014 because we do not expect to complete our testing of the remediated controls by such time. In addition, our remedial efforts may not be successful. Until our remediation plan is fully implemented, our management will continue to devote significant time and attention to these efforts. If we do not complete our remediation in a timely fashion, or at all, or if our remediation plan is inadequate or we encounter difficulties in the implementation or maintenance of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures, there will continue to be an increased risk that we will be unable to timely file future periodic reports with the SEC and/or remain in compliance with certain covenants included in our outstanding debt agreements. In addition, any failure to implement or any difficulties we encounter with our remediation plan could result in additional material weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal control or future material misstatements in our annual or interim consolidated financial statements.
