Exhibit 1.01

L3 Technologies, Inc.
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2018

L3 Technologies, Inc. (referred to herein as “L3,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) has prepared this Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) for the year ended December 31, 2018 to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13p-1”). Rule 13p-1 was adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to implement disclosure and reporting requirements pursuant to Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”). The information in this CMR includes the activities of L3 and its majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities that are required to be consolidated.

Based upon our analysis of the broad range of L3’s communication and electronic systems and products, we have determined that L3 manufactures or contracts to manufacture certain products that contain cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten (“3TG”) necessary to the functionality or production of such products.

Accordingly, as required by Rule 13p-1, we conducted, in good faith, a reasonable country of origin inquiry to determine whether any of the 3TG contained in our products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia (the “Covered Countries”) or were from recycled or scrap sources. Based on this reasonable country of origin inquiry, we had reason to believe that the 3TG contained in our products may have originated in the Covered Countries or may not be from scrap or recycled sources. We therefore exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of such 3TG in conformance with the framework in The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance (the “OECD Guidance”) for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. After conducting such due diligence, we are unable to determine, with the greatest possible specificity, the facilities used to process the 3TG contained in our products or the country of origin of such 3TG. A description of our efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the 3TG contained in our products is described below under “Due Diligence Measures.”

As permitted by Rule 13p-1 and the SEC’s April 29, 2014 statement relating to Rule 13p-1,1 this Report has not been subject to an independent private sector audit.

The businesses in our Electronic Systems segment provide a broad range of products and services, including components, products, subsystems, systems and related services to military and commercial customers.

II.
Due Diligence Measures

We designed our due diligence measures to conform, in all material respects, with the framework in the OECD Guidance. L3 has a broad product portfolio and a supply chain that is global, complex and has multiple tiers. As a downstream purchaser, we rely on our direct suppliers to provide information with respect to the origin of 3TG contained in our products, including sources of 3TG that are supplied to our direct suppliers by lower tier suppliers. In almost all cases, the information relating to the 3TG contained in our products that we received as part of our due diligence process was obtained from lower tier suppliers. These sources of information may yield inaccurate or incomplete information. Due diligence measures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance, that the due diligence objectives are met.

Our due diligence process included the following:


Steering Committee, Work Plan and Control Systems. We have a Cross Functional Steering Committee (CFSC) which is responsible for implementing our 3TG compliance strategy at the corporate and division levels. Our CFSC includes various corporate executive level members of L3 representing supply chain and procurement, legal, finance and accounting, information technology, quality, internal audit, and contracts. The CFSC is also supplemented by resources from L3 divisions located on site where the sourcing of materials takes place. The CFSC has developed a phased approach for determining the sourcing of 3TG contained in our products and has created work instructions that outline the responsibilities and processes to be used to conduct due diligence on the source of 3TG contained in our products.


Risk Management Plan and Controls. We conduct a risk management plan that includes our 3TG compliance program and have implemented a number of controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that our 3TG compliance strategy is appropriately implemented, managed and monitored. We also have a number of longstanding grievance mechanisms in place pursuant to which employees and suppliers can report violations of 3TG compliance strategy or provide early-warning of potential violations. These policies and procedures are outlined in our Code of Ethics available on our website at https://www.l3t.com/code-of-ethics-and-business-conduct.


Supplier Engagement and Education. We notified our suppliers of our 3TG reporting requirements under Rule 13p-1 and our expectation that our suppliers would report 3TG supply-chain information to enable our compliance with the reporting requirements under Rule 13p-1. We also engaged with our suppliers to further educate them on the 3TG reporting requirements and provided training resources and answers to frequently asked questions.

2


Participation in Industry Wide Programs and Initiatives. We participate in industry-wide initiatives, including the Aerospace Industry Association’s Conflict Minerals Working Group (“AIA”), to define and create standardized procedures for supply chain mapping and identify and certify socially responsible smelters and refiners. We leveraged this industry experience and evolving “best practices” in creating our own due diligence procedures and processes. We also support and are members of an industry initiative that audits smelters’ and refiners’ due diligence activities. That industry initiative is the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) (formerly, the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative), which was founded in 2008 by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and The Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI).


Survey of Direct Suppliers. During 2018 we surveyed direct suppliers to L3 regarding the source of 3TG contained in our products using a questionnaire (the “L3 Questionnaire”) based upon the template developed by the EICC and GeSI, known as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “CMRT Template”). The CMRT Template was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters that provide material to a company’s supply chain. The CMRT Template includes questions regarding a company’s policy with respect to 3TG sourcing, engagement with its direct suppliers, and a listing of the smelters the company and its suppliers use. In addition, the CMRT Template contains questions about the origin of 3TG contained in a company’s products, as well as supplier due diligence. The L3 Questionnaire also enables us to track and consolidate supply chain responses within an electronic database tool used across all of our divisions.


Assessment of and Follow-up on Supplier Response. We reviewed the supplier responses using criteria developed by us to determine which responses required follow-up with our suppliers and/or suggested an increased risk that the supplier may have provided 3TG that originated in the Covered Countries. This criteria assisted us in identifying responses from suppliers that were untimely, incomplete or inconsistent with other reported data. To the extent ambiguities or inconsistencies existed, we solicited updated or more comprehensive responses from our suppliers. We also conducted additional follow-up with suppliers who had not responded to our initial requests to provide 3TG information.

III.
Due Diligence Results

We received responses from approximately 65% of the suppliers surveyed in 2018. The large majority of the supplier responses, however, did not isolate or represent with specificity which smelters or refiners in their supply chain had supplied the 3TG contained in our products. Accordingly, we were unable to validate with specificity the facilities used to process the 3TG or the country of origin of the 3TG.

The supplier responses identified 291 known smelters and refiners that were reported to be in our supply chain for the period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018. Of those 291 smelters and refiners, 233 have been verified as conflict-free or in the audit process. The following table presents the number of identified smelters or refiners verified as conflict-free or in the audit process by mineral.

Identified smelters or refiners verified as conflict-free or in the audit process
 
Tantalum
22 of 22 (100%)

70 of 77 (91%)
Tungsten
40 of 43 (93%)
Gold
101 of 149 (68%)
Total

The data on which we relied for certain statements in this CMR was obtained through our membership in the RMI (RMI member LCOM).

Based on the information provided by L3’s suppliers, L3 believes that the facilities that may have been used to process the 3TG in our products include the smelters and refiners listed in Annex I below. However, L3 is unable to ascertain sufficient information to conclusively determine which of these smelters or refiners, if any, provided 3TG that may be contained in our products.

IV.
Steps to Mitigate Future Risk That 3TG in Our Products Benefit Armed Groups

As provided in our 3TG Statement (available on our website at https://www.l3t.com/suppliers/conflict-minerals), L3 is committed to compliance with Rule 13p-1 and is dedicated to the implementation of comprehensive due diligence processes to meet its obligations. L3 also believes in the responsible sourcing of materials and will continue its efforts to ensure a conflict-free supply chain to the extent reasonably practicable.

Consistent with our 3TG Statement, we expect to continue to take the following steps to comply with our future obligations under Rule 13p-1 and, to the extent reasonably possible, mitigate the risk that 3TG contained in our products benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:


Mandate or Encourage 3TG Flow-Clauses in Supply Contracts. We intend to continue to include the L3 Conflict Minerals Clause, which requires suppliers to provide 3TG sourcing and smelter information, as part of our standard Terms and Conditions of Purchase in new or renewed supplier contracts.


Engage Suppliers. We plan to continue to engage with suppliers and direct them to training resources in order to improve the response rate, completeness and accuracy of our supplier survey responses. If we identify suppliers who are sourcing 3TG from the Covered Countries, we intend to negotiate with them to mitigate the risk that such 3TG benefits armed groups and/or to establish alternative sources of 3TG that do not support such groups. If these efforts prove unsuccessful, we may, when reasonably practicable, terminate the contract or find a replacement supplier.


Coordinate with Industry Associations. We expect to continue to participate in industry group efforts to define and improve best practices for 3TG supply chain mapping and induce 3TG smelters and refiners to adopt socially responsible business practices. For example, we have been involved in the AIA’s efforts to encourage certain smelters and gold refiners that supply 3TG that may be used in products manufactured by the U.S. aerospace and defense industry to conduct due diligence in accordance with the OECD Guidance and become validated as a conflict-free smelter or refiner.


Commit Resources and Management Attention. We expect our CFSC will continue to be dedicated to implementing and executing our 3TG compliance strategy at the corporate and division levels with the assistance of resources from L3 divisions located on site where the sourcing of materials takes place. We anticipate that we will continue to devote resources and personnel to the work of this committee and support its approach for determining the sourcing of 3TG contained in our products and the related work plan.


Maintain Risk Management Plan, Controls and Grievance Mechanisms. We plan to refine our risk management plan and controls over time to ensure that our 3TG compliance strategy is appropriately implemented, managed and monitored. We also intend to address, as appropriate, complaints or concerns expressed through our grievance mechanisms with respect to our 3TG compliance efforts.

Additionally, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 12, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among L3, Harris Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Harris”), and Leopard Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Harris.  The merger is expected to close in mid-calendar year 2019, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.  We intend to evaluate our conflict mineral compliance program as part of the integration-planning activities related to L3’s proposed merger with Harris.
