Doing What We Say We Will Do
Doing What We Say We Will Do

Perhaps most importantly, we believe we have
begun to earn your trust. A year ago we made
a series of commitments to you. And we have
already made good on most of them.

We said we would improve liquidity and we
did. Last year we generated operating cash
flow of $1.9 billion. Since the end of 2000 we
have reduced total debt by $4.4 billion. And we
ended the year with $2.9 billion cash on hand.

We said we would begin to drive equipment
sales and we have – by making 2002 our
biggest new product year ever. Equipment
sales declines have moderated substantially
in each of the last five quarters. That’s a very
encouraging trend and a key part of our strategy. Equipment
sales not only add revenue today, they add to our profitable
post sales revenue stream tomorrow.

We said we would improve our gross margins to the high ‘30s
and we exceeded our commitment. Our gross margins in 2002
were 42.4 percent. Some of that improvement was reinvested
as price decreases for our customers.

• We have revised and strengthened the charters for our

Board of Directors’ committees.

• We hold regular executive sessions of outside directors

without Xerox management present.

• We launched a massive effort to strengthen internal con-
trols, train our people and promulgate a clear and strong 
Code of Conduct.

• We established an Ethics Helpline for our employees and
have taken other measures all aimed at making Xerox a 
role model in ethical behavior.

• And, of course, in June we brought Larry Zimmerman on

board as new Chief Financial Officer.

Going forward, here is what shareholders can expect from
Xerox and from my management team.

First, credibility. We made a lot of commitments a year ago.
We’ve delivered and we’ve executed. My intention is to contin-
ue to earn your confidence and to give every ounce of my
energy to that end. When we say we’ll do something, we will.
You should expect no less. We will deliver no less.

Second, communication. We’ll be open, honest and accessible
and we’ll build an environment that encourages communica-
tion with the investment community – freely, openly and often.
To enable you to make the wisest investment decisions, you
should have the information you need about the company as
quickly as practicable. My objective is to make sure you have it.

Third, leadership. In two ways. In the market through techno-
logical and market leadership. But also in terms of our people
and our culture. As good as we are today, we will be better
tomorrow. You have no interest in a company that isn’t leader-
ship in every way. Neither do I.

5

Fourth, decisiveness. I’ll set clear direction for our people. I’ll
hold people and businesses accountable. There will be no
sacred cows. If a product development program falters, we’ll
end it quickly. If a business isn’t profitable and has no credible
plan to become profitable fast, we’ll shut it down. If we see an
opportunity, we’ll grasp it. Decisiveness in planning and speed
in execution will become hallmarks of the Xerox culture.

Fifth, execution. We will continue to introduce competitive 
technology, to drive costs down, to streamline our business,
and to execute against our business model. To ensure that 
we are best in class in every aspect of our business, we have
introduced Xerox Lean Six Sigma – a powerful set of tools 
that will drive improved results.

Our investors put a lot of faith in us. I take that very seriously.
And I insist that all our people do as well. We have too much
opportunity in front of us to fail. I’m excited by the challenges
and so are our people. And we’re eager to give you a good
return on your trust. 

All of us at Xerox firmly believe that our best days are still
ahead of us. Thank you for the confidence you have placed in
us. Our collective task at Xerox is to earn that confidence and
to give you a good return on your investment.

securitize our finance receivables.

Introduction:

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
(“MD&A”) describes the matters that we consider to
be important to understanding the results of our 
operations for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2002 and our capital resources
and liquidity as of December 31, 2002 and 2001. Our
discussion begins with an overview of our financial
performance for the last three years and is followed
by a review of the critical accounting judgments and
estimates that we have made which we believe are
most important to an understanding of our MD&A
and our consolidated financial statements. These are
the critical accounting policies that affect the recogni-
tion and measurement of our transactions and the
balances in our consolidated financial statements. We
then analyze the results of our operations for the last
three years, including the trends in the overall busi-
ness and our operating segments, followed by brief
reference to where you can find more information on
recent accounting pronouncements which we adopt-
ed during the year, as well as those not yet adopted
that are expected to have an impact on our financial
accounting practices. We conclude our MD&A with a
discussion of our cash flows and liquidity, capital mar-
kets events and transactions, credit ratings, our new
credit facility, derivatives, contractual commitments
and related issues and important forward-looking
cautionary statements.

Financial Overview:

In 2002, we returned to profitability, significantly
strengthened our balance sheet and launched 17 new
products, making the year one of our strongest ever
for new products. Our results demonstrate effective
execution to date of our Turnaround Program, which
we announced in October 2000. Our Turnaround
Program has focused on improving liquidity, stabiliz-
ing our operations and significantly reducing our cost
base in order to improve our competitiveness. By the
end of 2002, we had sold assets totaling approximate-
ly $2.7 billion, implemented actions to reduce our
annualized costs by approximately $1.7 billion and
returned each of our core business segments to prof-
itability. During this period we also transitioned a por-
tion of our equipment financing to third parties in

10

Throughout 2002, the worldwide economic envi-

ronment and information technology spending
remained weak, however, our equipment sales and
revenue declines moderated, reflecting the success of
our new products launched during the year. Improved
gross margins and reduced selling, administrative
and general expenses, reflect benefits from our cost
base reductions, our focus on more profitable rev-
enue and our exit from certain businesses. While we
reduced our overall cost base, we continued to invest
in research and development, prioritizing our invest-
ments in the faster growing areas of our market. We
strengthened our balance sheet and liquidity by gen-
erating operating cash flows of $1.9 billion, repaying
debt of $3.2 billion, negotiating a new credit facility
and securitizing almost half our finance receivables
by the end of 2002.

Net income for 2002 of $91 million, or 2 cents per
diluted share, included after-tax asset impairment and
restructuring charges of $471 million ($670 million
pre-tax), primarily associated with our Fourth Quarter
2002 Restructuring Program, a pre-tax and after-tax
charge of $63 million for impaired goodwill and an
after-tax charge of $72 million ($106 million pre-tax)
for permanently impaired internal-use capitalized
software, partially offset by $105 million of tax bene-
fits arising from the favorable resolution of a foreign
tax audit and tax law changes, as well as a favorable
adjustment to compensation expense of $31 million 
($33 million pre-tax), that was previously accrued in
2001, associated with the reinstatement of dividends
for our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”).
The 2001 net loss of $94 million, or 15 cents per

diluted share, included $507 million of after-tax
charges ($715 million pre-tax) for restructuring and
asset impairments associated with our Turnaround
Program including our disengagement from our
worldwide Small Office/Home Office (“SOHO”) busi-
ness. 2001 results also included a $304 million after-tax
gain ($773 million pre-tax) from the sale of half of our
interest in Fuji Xerox, a $38 million after-tax gain 
($63 million pre-tax) related to the early retirement of
debt, $21 million of after-tax gains ($29 million pre-tax)
associated with unhedged foreign currency, partially
offset by $31 million ($33 million pre-tax) of increased
compensation expense associated with the suspen-
sion of dividends for our ESOP and after-tax goodwill
amortization of $59 million ($63 million pre-tax).

The $273 million net loss in 2000, or 48 cents per
diluted share, was largely attributable to $339 million
of after-tax charges ($475 million pre-tax) for restruc-
turing and asset impairments and our $37 million
share of a Fuji Xerox restructuring charge, partially
offset by after-tax gains of $119 million ($200 million
pre-tax) from the sale of our China operations and 
$69 million of after-tax gains ($103 million pre-tax)
from unhedged foreign currency.

Application of Critical 
Accounting Policies:

In preparing our consolidated financial statements 
and accounting for the underlying transactions 
and balances, we apply accounting policies that are
described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. We consider the policies discussed below
as critical to understanding our consolidated financial
statements, as their application places the most 
significant demands on our management’s judgment,
since financial reporting results rely on estimates of
the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Specific risks associated with these critical accounting
policies are described in the following paragraphs. 
The impacts and significant risks associated with these
policies on our business operations are discussed
throughout this MD&A where such policies affect our
reported and expected financial results. For a detailed
discussion of the application of these and other
accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. Senior management has dis-
cussed the development and selection of the critical
accounting policies, estimates and related disclosures,
included herein, with the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors. Preparation of this annual report
requires that we make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amount of assets and liabili-
ties, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as 
of the date of our financial statements and the report-
ed amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from those
estimates. Changes in assumptions and estimates 
are reflected in the period in which they occur. The
impact of such changes could be material to the
results of operations in any future period.

Revenue Recognition Under Bundled Arrangements:
We sell most of our products and services under 
bundled contract arrangements, which contain multi-
ple deliverable elements. These contractual lease
arrangements typically include equipment, service,
supplies and financing components for which the cus-
tomer pays a single negotiated price for all elements.
These arrangements typically also include a variable
component for page volumes in excess of contractual
minimums, which are often expressed in terms of
price per page, which we refer to as the “cost per

copy.” In a typical bundled arrangement, our cus-
tomer is quoted a fixed minimum monthly payment
for (1) the equipment, (2) the associated services and
other executory costs and (3) the financing element.
The fixed minimum monthly payments are multiplied
by the number of months in the contract term to
arrive at the total fixed minimum payments that the
customer is obligated to make (“Fixed Payments”)
over the lease term. The payments associated with
page volumes in excess of the minimums are contin-
gent on whether or not such minimums are exceeded
(“Contingent Payments”). The minimum contractual
committed copy volumes are typically negotiated to
equal the customer’s estimated copy volume at lease
inception. In applying our lease accounting methodol-
ogy, we consider the Fixed Payments for purposes of
allocating to the fair value elements of the contract.
We do not consider the contingent payments for pur-
poses of allocating to the elements of the contract or
recognizing revenue on the sale of the equipment,
given the inherent uncertainties as to whether such
amounts will ever be received. Contingent Payments
are recognized as revenue in the period when the cus-
tomer exceeds the minimum copy volumes specified
in the contract.

When separate prices are listed in multiple element
customer contracts, such prices may not be represen-
tative of the fair values of those elements, because
the prices of the different components of the arrange-
ment may be modified through customer negotia-
tions, although the aggregate consideration may
remain the same. Therefore, revenues under these
arrangements are allocated based upon estimated fair
values of each element. Our revenue allocation
methodology first begins by determining the fair
value of the service component, as well as other
executory costs and any profit thereon and second,
by determining the fair value of the equipment based
on comparison of the equipment values in our
accounting systems to a range of cash selling prices
or, if applicable, other verifiable objective evidence 
of fair value. We perform extensive analyses of avail-
able verifiable objective evidence of equipment fair
value based on cash selling prices during the applica-
ble period. The cash selling prices are compared to
the range of values included in our lease accounting
systems. The range of cash selling prices must sup-
port the reasonableness of the lease selling prices,
taking into account residual values that accrue to our
benefit, in order for us to determine that such lease
prices are indicative of fair value. Our interest rates
are developed based upon a variety of factors includ-
ing local prevailing rates in the marketplace and the
customer’s credit history, industry and credit class.
These rates are recorded within our pricing systems.
The resultant implicit interest rate, which is the same

11

as our pricing interest rate, unless adjustment to
equipment values is required, is then compared to fair
market value rates to assess the reasonableness of
the fair value allocations to the multiple elements.

Revenue Recognition for Leases: Our accounting for
leases involves specific determinations under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13
“Accounting for Leases” (“SFAS No. 13”) which often
involve complex provisions and significant judg-
ments. The two primary criteria of SFAS No. 13 which
we use to classify transactions as sales-type or oper-
ating leases are (1) a review of the lease term to deter-
mine if it is equal to or greater than 75 percent of the
economic life of the equipment and (2) a review of the
minimum lease payments to determine if they are
equal to or greater than 90 percent of the fair market
value of the equipment. Under our current product
portfolio and business strategies, a non-cancelable
lease of 45 months or more generally qualifies as a
sale. Certain of our lease contracts are customized for
larger customers, which results in complex terms and
conditions and requires significant judgment in apply-
ing the above criteria. In addition to these, there are
also other important criteria that are required to be
assessed, including whether collectibility of the lease
payments is reasonably predictable and whether
there are important uncertainties related to costs that
we have yet to incur with respect to the lease. In our
opinion, our sales-type lease portfolios contain only
normal credit and collection risks and have no impor-
tant uncertainties with respect to future costs. 

Our leases in our Latin America operations have his-

torically been recorded as operating leases since a
majority of these leases are terminated significantly
prior to the expiration of the contractual lease term.
Specifically, because we generally do not collect the
receivable from the initial transaction upon termination
or during any subsequent lease term, the recoverability
of the lease investment is deemed not to be pre-
dictable at lease inception. We continue to evaluate
economic, business and political conditions in the
Latin American region to determine if certain leases
will qualify as sales-type leases in future periods.

The critical estimates and judgments that we con-

sider with respect to our lease accounting are the
determination of the economic life and the fair value of
equipment, including the residual value. Those esti-
mates are based upon historical experience with all
our products. For purposes of estimating the econom-
ic life, we consider the most objective measure of his-
torical experience to be the original contract term,
since most equipment is returned by lessees at or near
the end of the contracted term. The estimated eco-
nomic life of most of our products is five years since
this represents the most frequent contractual lease
term for our principal products and only a small per-
centage of our leases are for original terms longer

12

than five years. We believe that this is representative
of the period during which the equipment is expected
to be economically usable, with normal service, for the
purpose for which it is intended. We continually evalu-
ate the economic life of both existing and newly intro-
duced products for purposes of this determination.
Residual values are established at lease inception
using estimates of fair value at the end of the lease
term. Our residual values are established with due
consideration to forecasted supply and demand for
our various products, product retirement and future
product launch plans, end of lease customer behavior,
remanufacturing strategies, used equipment markets
if any, competition and technological changes.

The vast majority of our leases that qualify as
sales-type are non-cancelable and include cancella-
tion penalties approximately equal to the full value of
the leased equipment. Certain of our governmental
contracts may have cancellation provisions or renew-
al clauses that are required by law, such as (1) those
dependant on fiscal funding outside of a governmen-
tal unit’s control, (2) those that can be cancelled if
deemed in the taxpayer’s best interest or (3) those
that must be renewed each fiscal year, given limita-
tions that may exist on entering multi-year contracts
that are imposed by statute. In these circumstances
and in accordance with the relevant accounting litera-
ture, we carefully evaluate these contracts to assess
whether cancellation is remote or the renewal option is
reasonably assured of exercise, because of the exis-
tence of substantive economic penalties for the cus-
tomer’s failure to renew. Certain of our commercial
contracts for multiple units of equipment may include
clauses that allow for a return of a limited portion of
such equipment (up to 10 percent of the value of equip-
ment). These return clauses are only available in very
limited circumstances as negotiated at lease inception.
We account for our estimate of equipment to be
returned under these contracts as operating leases.
Aside from the initial lease of equipment to our
customers, we may enter subsequent transactions
with the same customer whereby we extend the term.
We evaluate the classification of lease extensions of
sales-type leases using the originally determined eco-
nomic life for each product. There may be instances
where we have lease extensions for periods that are
within the original economic life of the equipment.
These are accounted for as sales-type leases only
when the extensions occur in the last three months of
the lease term and they otherwise meet the appropri-
ate criteria of SFAS No. 13. All other lease extensions
of this type are accounted for as direct financing leas-
es. We generally account for lease extensions that go
beyond the economic life as operating leases because
of important uncertainties as to the amount of servic-
ing and repair costs that we may incur.

Accounts and Finance Receivables Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts and Credit Losses: We perform
ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and
adjust credit limits based upon customer payment
history and current creditworthiness. We continuous-
ly monitor collections and payments from our cus-
tomers and maintain a provision for estimated credit
losses based upon our historical experience and any
specific customer collection issues that we have iden-
tified. While such credit losses have historically been
within our expectations and the provisions estab-
lished, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to
experience credit loss rates similar to those we have
experienced in the past. Measurement of such losses
requires consideration of historical loss experience,
including the need to adjust for current conditions,
and judgments about the probable effects of relevant
observable data, including present economic condi-
tions such as delinquency rates and financial health 
of specific customers. We recorded $353 million, 
$506 million and $613 million in the Consolidated
Statements of Income for provisions for doubtful
accounts for both our accounts and finance receiv-
ables for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001
and 2000, respectively, of which $332 million, 
$438 million and $472 million were included in Selling,
administrative and general expenses for such years,
respectively. The declining trend in our provision for
doubtful accounts was primarily due to improved cus-
tomer administration, collection practices and credit
approval policies, as well as our revenue declines.

Historically, about half of the provision for doubtful

accounts relates to our finance receivables portfolio.
This provision is inherently more difficult to estimate
than the provision for trade accounts receivable
because the underlying lease portfolio has an average
maturity, at any time, of approximately two to three
years and contains past due billed amounts, as well
as unbilled amounts. Estimated credit quality of any
given customer and class of customer or geographic
location can significantly change during the life of 
the portfolio. We consider all available information in
our quarterly assessments of the adequacy of the 
provision for doubtful accounts.

Provisions for Excess and Obsolete Inventory Losses
and Residual Value Losses: We value our inventories
at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.
We regularly review inventory quantities, including
equipment to be leased to customers, which is includ-
ed as part of finished goods inventory, and record a
provision for excess and/or obsolete inventory based
primarily on our estimated forecast of product
demand and production requirements. Several fac-
tors may influence the realizability of our inventories,
including our decision to exit a product line, techno-
logical changes and new product development. These
factors could result in an increase in the amount of

excess or obsolete inventory quantities. Additionally,
our estimates of future product demand may prove to
be inaccurate, in which case we may have understat-
ed or overstated the provision required for excess and
obsolete inventories. In the future, if we determine
that our inventories have been overvalued, we would
be required to recognize such incremental costs in
cost of sales at the time of such determination.
Likewise, if we determine that our inventories are
undervalued, we may have overstated cost of sales in
previous periods and would be required to recognize
such additional operating income at the time of sale.
Although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy
of our forecasts of future product demand including
the impact of future product launches and changes in
remanufacturing strategies, significant unanticipated
changes in demand or technological developments
could significantly impact the value of our inventory
and our reported operating results if our estimates
prove to be inaccurate. We recorded $115 million, 
$242 million and $235 million in inventory write-down
charges for the three years ended December 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000, respectively. The decline in inventory
write-down charges was primarily due to the absence
of business exiting activities, stabilization of our prod-
uct lines, Flextronics-related improvements and a
lower level of inventories. At this time, management
does not believe that anticipated product launches will
have a material effect on the recovery of our existing
inventory balance.

We have a similar accounting policy relating to
unguaranteed residual values associated with equip-
ment on lease, which were $272 million and $414 mil-
lion in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December
31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We review residual val-
ues regularly and, when appropriate, adjust them
based on estimates of expected market conditions at
the end of the lease, including the impacts of future
product launches, changes in remanufacturing strate-
gies and the expected lessee behavior at the end of the
lease term. Impairment charges are recorded when
available information indicates that the decline in
recorded value is other than temporary and we would
therefore not be able to fully recover the recorded val-
ues. We recorded $26 million, $14 million and $17 mil-
lion in residual value impairment charges for the years
ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Asset Valuations and Review for Potential
Impairments: Our long-lived assets, excluding good-
will, are assessed for impairment by comparison of
the total amount of undiscounted cash flows expected
to be generated by such assets to their carrying value.
During 2002, due to our decision to abandon the use
of certain software applications, we recorded an

13

impairment charge of $106 million in Selling, admin-
istrative and general expenses in the accompanying
Consolidated Statement of Income.

We periodically review our long-lived assets,

whereby we make assumptions regarding the valua-
tion and the changes in circumstances that would
affect the carrying value of these assets. If such analy-
sis indicates that a possible impairment may exist, we
are then required to estimate the fair value of the
asset and, as deemed appropriate, expense all or a
portion of the asset, based on a comparison to the
book value of such asset or group of such assets. The
determination of fair value includes numerous uncer-
tainties, such as the impact of competition on future
value. We believe that we have made reasonable esti-
mates and judgments in determining whether our
long-lived assets have been impaired; however, if
there is a material change in the assumptions used in
our determination of fair values or if there is a materi-
al change in economic conditions or circumstances
influencing fair value, we could be required to recog-
nize certain impairment charges in the future.

Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets: We
have made acquisitions in the past that included the
recognition of a significant amount of goodwill and
other intangible assets. Under generally accepted
accounting principles in effect through December 31,
2001, these assets were amortized over their estimat-
ed useful lives and were tested periodically, in order
to determine if they were recoverable from estimated
future pre-tax cash flows on an undiscounted basis
over their useful lives. Effective January 1, 2002, we
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”
(“SFAS No. 142”), whereby goodwill is no longer
amortized but instead is assessed for impairment, at
least annually, and as triggering events occur that 
indicate a decline in fair value below that of its carry-
ing value. In making these assessments, we rely on 
a number of factors including operating results, busi-
ness plans, economic projections, anticipated future
cash flows and market data. There are inherent uncer-
tainties related to these factors and our judgment in
applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment,
including risk that the carrying value of our goodwill
may be overstated or understated. We have deter-
mined that the impact of adopting this new standard,
under the transition provisions of SFAS No. 142, 
was an impairment charge of $63 million which was
recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle in the accompanying
Consolidated Statement of Income for 2002.

14

Estimates Used Relating to Restructuring: In June
2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS No. 146”),
which addresses financial and reporting for costs
associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, “Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including
Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)” (“EITF No.
94-3”). The principal difference between SFAS No.
146 and EITF No. 94-3 relates to the requirements for
recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an
exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity be recognized when the liability is incurred,
while EITF No. 94-3 requires that the liability be recog-
nized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit
plan. We adopted SFAS No. 146 in the fourth quarter
of 2002, which is required to be applied prospectively.
All restructuring actions that were committed to prior
to the adoption of SFAS No. 146 continue to be
accounted for in accordance with EITF No. 94-3.

We have engaged in a number of restructuring
actions over the last several years, which required our
management to utilize significant estimates related to
realizable values of assets that were made redundant
or obsolete and expenses for severance and other
employee separation costs, lease cancellation and
other exit costs. Given the significance of, and the
timing of the execution of such actions, this process is
complex and involves periodic reassessments of esti-
mates made at the time the original decisions were
made. We continue to evaluate the adequacy of the
remaining liabilities under these restructuring initia-
tives. As we continue to evaluate the business, there
may be changes in estimates to amounts previously
recorded as actions progress and are completed.

Pension and Post-retirement Benefit Plan Assumptions:
We sponsor pension plans in various forms and in
various countries covering substantially all employ-
ees who meet certain eligibility requirements. Post-
retirement benefit plans cover primarily U.S.
employees for retirement medical costs. As required
by existing accounting rules, we employ a delayed
recognition feature in measuring the costs and obliga-
tions of pension and post-retirement benefit plans.
This allows for changes in the benefit obligations and
changes in the value of assets set aside to meet those
obligations, to be recognized, not as they occur, but
systematically and gradually over subsequent peri-
ods. All changes are ultimately recognized, except to
the extent they may be offset by subsequent changes.
At any point, changes that have been identified and
quantified await subsequent accounting recognition
as net cost components and as liabilities or assets.

Several statistical and other factors that attempt to

anticipate future events are used in calculating the
expense, liability and asset values related to our pen-
sion and post-retirement benefit plans. These factors
include assumptions we make about the discount rate,
expected return on plan assets, rate of increase in
healthcare costs, the rate of future compensation
increases, and mortality, among others. Actual returns
on plan assets are not immediately recognized in our
income statement, due to the aforementioned delayed
recognition feature that we follow in accounting for
pensions. In calculating the expected return on the plan
asset component of our net periodic pension cost, we
apply our estimate of the long-term rate of return to the
plan assets that support our pension obligations, 
after deducting assets that are specifically allocated to
Transitional Retirement Accounts (which are accounted
for based on specific plan terms).

For purposes of determining the expected return on

plan assets, we utilize a calculated value approach in
determining the value of the pension plan assets, as
opposed to a fair market value approach. The primary
difference between the two methods relates to a sys-
tematic recognition of changes in fair value over time
(generally two years) versus immediate recognition of
changes in fair value. Our expected rate of return on
plan assets is then applied to the calculated asset value
to determine the amount of the expected return on
plan assets to be used in the determination of the net
periodic pension cost. The calculated value approach
reduces the volatility in net periodic pension cost that
results from using the fair market value approach.

The difference between the actual return on plan

assets and the expected return on plan assets is
added to, or subtracted from, any cumulative differ-
ences that arose in prior years. This amount is a com-
ponent of the unrecognized net actuarial (gain) loss
and is subject to amortization to net periodic pension
cost over the remaining service lives of the employ-
ees participating in the pension plan.

As a result of actual asset returns being lower than

expected asset returns over the previous two years,
2003 net periodic pension cost will increase. The total
unrecognized actuarial loss as of December 31, 2002
is $1.8 billion. This amount will be amortized in the
future, subject to offsetting gains or losses that will
change the future amortization amount.

We have historically utilized a weighted average
expected rate of return on plan assets of approximate-
ly 8.8 percent, on a worldwide basis, in determining
our net periodic pension cost. In estimating this rate,
we considered the historical returns earned by the
plan assets, the rates of return expected in the future,
and our investment strategy and asset mix with
respect to the plans’ funds. In response to market con-
ditions during the prior three years, a re-evaluation of
our domestic asset investment strategy with our
external asset managers, and our overall expectation

of lower long-term rates of return, we have reduced
our weighted average expected rate of return for our
major worldwide pension plans. The weighted aver-
age rate we will utilize to calculate our 2003 expense
will be approximately 8.3 percent.

An additional significant assumption affecting our
pension and post-retirement benefit obligations and
the net periodic pension and other post-retirement
benefit cost is the rate that we use to discount our
future anticipated benefit obligations. In estimating
this rate, we consider rates of return on high quality
fixed-income investments currently available, and
expected to be available, during the period to maturi-
ty of the pension benefits. The weighted average rate
we will utilize to calculate our 2003 expense will be
approximately 6.2 percent, which is a decrease from
6.8 percent in 2002. On a consolidated basis, we recog-
nized net periodic pension cost of $168 million, $99 mil-
lion and $44 million for the years ended December 31,
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Pension cost is
included as a component of cost of sales, cost of serv-
ice, outsourcing and rentals, research and develop-
ment expenses and selling, administrative and general
expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
Pension cost is allocated to these income statement
components based on the related employee costs.
The weighted average assumptions used in the
computation of our projected net periodic pension
cost for 2003, and our actual net periodic pension cost
for 2002, 2001 and 2000, were as follows:

2003

As a result of the reduction in the expected rate of

return on plan assets, the reduction in the discount
rate, the slight increase in the rate of future compensa-
tion increases, the lower actual return on plan assets
during the prior three years and certain other factors,

$150 million higher than 2002.

The market performance over the past two years has
decreased the value of the assets held by our world-
wide pension plans and has correspondingly
increased the amount by which our worldwide pen-
sion funds are under-funded. As a result of the reduc-
tion in the value of our pension plan assets and a
decline in interest rates, which increased the present
value of our benefit obligations for our major world-
wide pension plans, we recorded during the fourth
quarter of 2002 an incremental additional minimum
pension liability. This incremental liability was record-
ed through a non-cash charge to Shareholders’ Equity
as required by SFAS No. 87 “Employers’ Accounting
for Pensions.” The increase in the additional mini-
mum pension liability of $413 million resulted in an
incremental after-tax charge to Shareholders’ Equity
of $231 million. These amounts will increase or
decrease in the future based on the value of our pen-
sion obligations in relation to the value of the assets
held by our pension plans to settle such obligations.

Income Taxes and Tax Valuation Allowances: We
record the estimated future tax effects of temporary
differences between the tax bases of assets and 
liabilities and amounts reported in our Consolidated
Balance Sheets, as well as operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards. We follow very specific and
detailed guidelines in each tax jurisdiction regarding
the recoverability of any tax assets recorded in our
Consolidated Balance Sheets and provide necessary
valuation allowances as required. We regularly review
our deferred tax assets for recoverability based on
projected future taxable income, the expected timing
of the reversals of existing temporary differences and
tax planning strategies. If we continue to operate at a
loss in certain jurisdictions or are unable to generate
sufficient future taxable income, or if there is a materi-
al change in the actual effective tax rates or time peri-
od within which the underlying temporary differences
become taxable or deductible, we could be required
to increase the valuation allowance against all or a
significant portion of our deferred tax assets resulting
in a substantial increase in our effective tax rate and 
a material adverse impact on our operating results.

16

Conversely, if and when such jurisdictions were to
become sufficiently profitable to recover previously
reserved deferred tax assets, we would reduce all or a
portion of the applicable valuation allowance in the
period when such determination is made. This would
result in an increase to reported earnings in such 
period. Increases to our valuation allowance, through
charges to expense, were $15 million, $247 million,
and $12 million for the years ended December 31,
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

We are subject to ongoing tax examinations and
assessments in various jurisdictions. Accordingly, we
provide for additional tax expense based upon the
probable outcomes of such matters. In addition, when
applicable, we adjust the previously recorded tax
expense to reflect examination results. Our ongoing
assessments of the probable outcomes of the exami-
nations and related tax positions require judgment
and can materially increase or decrease our effective
tax rate as well as impact our operating results.

Legal Contingencies: We are a defendant in numerous
litigation and regulatory matters including those
involving securities law, patent law, environmental
law, employment law and ERISA, as discussed in
Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As
required by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies,” we
determine whether an estimated loss from a contin-
gency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss
is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated.
We analyze our litigation and regulatory matters
based on available information to assess potential lia-
bility. We develop our views on estimated losses in
consultation with outside counsel handling our
defense in these matters, which involves an analysis
of potential results, assuming a combination of litiga-
tion and settlement strategies. Should our views on
estimated losses reflect the need to recognize a mate-
rial accrual, or should these matters result in an
adverse judgment or be settled for significant
amounts, they could have a material adverse effect on
our results of operations, cash flows and financial
position in the period or periods in which such
change in estimate, judgment or settlement occurs.

Other Accounting Policies: Other accounting policies,
not involving the same level of significance as those
discussed above, are nevertheless important to an
understanding of the financial statements. See Note 1
to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies, which discusses
other significant accounting policies.

Revenues: A substantial portion of our consolidated
revenues is derived from operations outside of the
United States where the U.S. dollar is not the func-
tional currency. We generally do not hedge the trans-
lation effect of revenues denominated in currencies
where the local currency is the functional currency.
When compared with the average of the major
European and Canadian currencies on a revenue-
weighted basis, the U.S. dollar was approximately 
4 percent weaker in 2002 than in 2001 and 3 percent
stronger in 2001 than in 2000. As a result, foreign 
currency translation favorably impacted total revenue
growth by approximately one percentage point in 2002
and unfavorably impacted revenue growth by about
one percentage point in 2001. Additionally, in 2002, cur-
rency devaluations in Brazil continued to impact our
results, as the Brazilian Real devalued 19 percent

against the U.S. dollar. The devaluation was 22 percent
and 2 percent in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Total revenues of $15.8 billion in 2002 declined 

7 percent from 2001. Economic weakness and competi-
tive pressures persisted throughout the year, however,
year-over-year revenue declines moderated during the
year, reflecting the success of numerous recent product
launches in our color and monochrome digital multi-
function target markets. Approximately one quarter 
of the decline was due to our prioritization of more
profitable revenue which resulted in reduced revenue
in our Developing Markets Operations segment
(“DMO”), reflecting a reduction in the number of
printers and copiers at customer locations, primarily
in Brazil and Argentina. In addition, approximately 
15 percent of the decline was due to the discontinua-
tion of equipment sales and declining supplies sales
due to our SOHO exit in the second half of 2001.
Approximately 10 percent of the decline reflects 
lower financing income revenue, resulting from lower
equipment installations and our exit from the financ-
ing business in certain European countries. The
remainder of the decline was due to a mix of econom-
ic weakness, continued competitive pressures and
market transition from light-lens to digital technology.
This resulted in continued declines in older light-lens
products, as customers continue to transition to new
digital technology, only modestly offset by growth 
in production color, monochrome digital multifunc-
tion, and color printers, reflecting the success of our
new products in these key areas.

Total revenues of $17.0 billion in 2001 declined 
9 percent from 2000, primarily reflecting the adverse
impact of marketplace competition, further weakening
of the worldwide economy and our reduced participa-
tion in aggressively priced bids and tenders as we
focused on improving our profitability. In addition,
approximately one quarter of the decline reflected the
absence of revenues due to our exit from the SOHO
business in the second half of 2001 and the sale of our
China operations in 2000. Approximately 20 percent
of the decline reflects lower revenue in DMO, also due
to our decision to prioritize more profitable revenue.

2002 Equipment sales of $3.9 billion declined 10 per-
cent from $4.3 billion in 2001 and included a benefit of
one percentage point from currency. Year-over-year
equipment sales declines moderated throughout
2002, reflecting the success of our 2002 product
launches in the key areas of monochrome digital mul-
tifunction, as well as in Production and Office color.
Approximately 35 percent of the decline was due to a
decrease in light-lens equipment sales due to cus-
tomers that transitioned to digital technology. Less
than 5 percent of our 2002 Equipment sales were for
light-lens devices and we expect this declining trend
to continue. Approximately 30 percent of the
Equipment sales decline was due to our exit from the
SOHO segment in 2001 and the remainder of the
decline was caused by a combination of the weak
economy, marketplace competition and price pres-
sures which approximated 5 to 10 percent and our
decision to reduce participation in aggressively priced
bids and tenders in Europe, as we reoriented our
focus from market share to profitable revenue.

2001 Equipment sales of $4.3 billion declined 
18 percent from $5.3 billion in 2000 and included an
unfavorable currency impact of one percentage point.
Over one-third of the decline was due to our exit from
the SOHO segment in 2001 and the sale of our China
operations in 2000. Approximately one-quarter of the
decline was due to customers that transitioned from
light lens to digital technology. The balance of the
decline reflected a combination of economic weak-
ness, competitive price pressures which approximat-
ed 5 to 10 percent and our decision to reduce
participation in aggressively priced bids and tenders
in Europe, as we reoriented our focus from market
share to profitable revenue.

Post sale and other revenue consists of service,
supplies, paper, rental, facilities management and
other revenues derived from the equipment installed
at customer locations and the volume of prints and

copies that our customers make on that equipment,
as well as associated services. 2002 Post sale and
other revenue of $10.9 billion, declined 5 percent from
$11.5 billion in 2001, including a favorable impact of
one percentage point from currency. Over half of the
total decline in 2002 Post sale and other revenue was
due to a reduction in the amount of equipment instal-
lations at certain DMO customer locations, as a result
of reduced placements in recent periods and our exit
from the SOHO segment in the second half of 2001.
The balance of the decline included lower page print
volumes and customers that transitioned from light-
lens to digital technology, reflecting weak mono-
chrome equipment installations in the Production and
Office segments which have not yet been offset by
growth in color. Within Post sale and other revenue,
2002 supplies, paper and other sales of $2.9 billion
declined 8 percent from 2001 predominantly due to
supplies declines reflecting our second half 2001
SOHO exit, lower DMO equipment installations and
production and office light-lens declines. Service, out-
sourcing and rental revenue of $8.1 billion declined 
4 percent from 2001 predominantly due to lower
rental revenues as the result of a reduction in the level
of equipment installations at certain DMO customers
in both current and prior periods.

2001 Post sale and other revenue of $11.5 billion,

declined 6 percent from $12.3 billion in 2000 and
included the adverse impact from currency translation
of one percentage point. Approximately 40 percent of
the decline occurred in our DMO segment as a result of
reduced equipment installations in that segment and
15 percent was due to the sale of our China operations
in 2000. The remainder of the decline resulted from
decreases in Production monochrome and Office light
lens, and our decision to prioritize more profitable rev-
enue, which were only partially offset by strong dou-
ble-digit growth in color and monochrome digital
multifunction. Within Post sale and other revenue, 2001
supplies, paper and other sales of $3.1 billion declined
13 percent from 2000 due to lower paper sales reflect-
ing reduced volumes and reduced Production, Office
and DMO supplies revenues reflecting the declines dis-
cussed above. Service, outsourcing and rental revenue
of $8.4 billion were 4 percent lower than 2000 as lower
service and rental revenues were only partially offset
by document outsourcing growth.

2002 Finance income revenue declined 11 percent
from 2001, reflecting lower 2002 equipment sales, our
full exit from the financing business in the Nordic coun-
tries and in Italy, as well as our partial exit of this busi-
ness in The Netherlands and Germany. 2001 Finance
income revenue declined 3 percent from 2000, reflect-
ing lower equipment sales and the initial effects of our
transition to a third-party finance provider in the Nordic
countries.

18

Finance income is primarily impacted by equipment

lease originations and interest rates. The most signifi-
cant factor is the level of equipment lease originations;
accordingly, we expect that Finance income will decline
in 2003, reflecting lower equipment lease originations
in recent years. In addition, Finance income will be
reduced to the extent we sell portions of our financing
businesses, similar to the Nordic countries and Italy, or
enter into agreements with third-parties to provide
financing directly to our customers. Since the vast
majority of our third-party financing arrangements
have been structured as secured borrowings, the lease
receivables remain on our balance sheet and are
expected to continue generating Finance income. As a
result of the above factors, we expect the trend of the
decreasing Finance income to stabilize, although peri-
odic fluctuations will occur as a result of the level of
equipment sales and interest rates.

We expect equipment sales to grow modestly in
2003, as our 2002 and planned 2003 product launches
should enable us to strengthen our market position. Our
ability to increase post sale revenue is dependent on
our success increasing the amount of our equipment at
customer locations and the volume of pages generated
on that equipment. In 2003, we expect post sale and
other revenue declines will continue to moderate as
equipment sales increase and our services and solu-
tions increase utilization of the equipment. Accordingly,
we expect a modest total revenue decline in 2003.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan: As more fully 
discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, our Board of Directors reinstated the 
dividend on our Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(“ESOP”) in 2002, which resulted in a reversal of com-
pensation expense previously recorded. The reversal
of compensation expense corresponded to the line
item in the Consolidated Statement of Income for
2002 where the charge was originally recorded and
included $28 million in both Cost of Sales and Selling,
administrative and general expenses and $11 million
in Research and Development expenses. Of the total
compensation expense originally recorded, $34 million
and $33 million was recognized in 2002 and 2001,
respectively. As such, 2002 benefited by $33 million 
of excess compensation expense reversal that was
recorded in 2001. There is no corresponding earnings
per share improvement in 2002, since the EPS calcula-
tion requires deduction of dividends declared from
reported net income in arriving at net income avail-
able to common shareholders. In the fourth quarter
2002, an additional $11 million of dividends were
declared.

Gross Margin: Gross margin by revenue classification
was as follows:

and rentals

41.1%
57.1%

The 2002 gross margin of 42.4 percent improved

4.2 percentage points from 2001. 1.4 percentage
points of the increase reflects our second half 2001
SOHO exit. Improved manufacturing and service pro-
ductivity, which was more than offset by lower prices,
accounted for approximately one percentage point of
improvement and higher margins in our DMO operat-
ing segment and also contributed about 0.5 percent-
age point of the improvement. The balance of the
increase includes the favorable ESOP compensation
expense adjustment, favorable transaction currency,
lower inventory charges associated with restructuring
actions and improved document outsourcing margins
associated with our focus on profitable revenue.

2002 Sales gross margin improved by 7.3 percent-
age points from 2001. Approximately 2.6 percentage
points of the improvement was due to our SOHO exit,
about 1.3 percentage points of the improvement was
due to increases in DMO, 0.6 percentage point was
due to lower inventory charges associated with
restructuring actions and the balance was largely due
to manufacturing productivity, which was more than
offset by competitive price pressures. 2002 Service,
outsourcing and rentals margins improved by 1.8 per-
centage points from 2001 reflecting the benefits of
expense productivity actions and more profitable doc-
ument outsourcing contracts.

The 2001 gross margin of 38.2 percent increased 
0.8 percentage point from 2000, as improved manu-
facturing and service productivity more than offset
unfavorable mix and competitive price pressures, par-
ticularly in the production monochrome area. 2001
Sales gross margin declined by 0.7 percentage points
due to higher manufacturing expenses resulting from
lower volume and plant utilization as well as a lower
level of high margin licensing and software revenues.
These improvements were partially offset by increased
margins in our printer business. 2001 Service, out-
sourcing and rentals margin improved by 1.1 percent-
age points due primarily to service expense reductions
and facilities maintenance gross margin improve-
ments, partially offset by declines in DMO.

19

Finance income margins of approximately 60 per-
cent reflect interest expense related to our financing
operations. Equipment financing interest rates are
determined based on a combination of actual interest
expense incurred on financing debt, as well as our esti-
mated cost of funds, applied against the estimated
level of debt required to support our financed receiv-
ables. The estimate is based on an assumed ratio of
debt as compared to our finance receivables. This ratio
ranges from 80-90 percent of our average finance
receivables. This methodology has been consistently
applied for all periods presented. We expect our 2003
Finance income gross margin to be in line with 2002.

Research and Development: 2002 research and 
development (“R&D”) spending of $917 million, was
$80 million lower than 2001. Approximately 40 per-
cent of the decline was due to our SOHO exit, another
40 percent of the decline reflects both benefits from
cost restructuring actions and the receipt of external
funding and the balance reflects the previously dis-
cussed favorable ESOP compensation expense
adjustment. R&D spending represented our continued
investment in technological development, particularly
color, to maintain our position in the rapidly changing
document processing market. We believe our R&D
remains technologically competitive. Our R&D is
strategically coordinated with that of Fuji Xerox,
which invested $580 million in R&D in 2002, which
together with our R&D spending resulted in a com-
bined total of $1.5 billion. To maximize the synergies
of our relationship, our R&D expenditures are focused
on the Production segment while Fuji Xerox R&D
expenditures are focused on the Office segment. In
2002, we were awarded over 700 U.S. patents ranking
us 19th on the list of companies that had been award-
ed the most U.S. patents during the year. Together
with Fuji Xerox, we were awarded close to 900 U.S.
patents in 2002. Our patent portfolio evolves as new
patents are awarded to us and as older patents expire.
As of December 31, 2002, we held approximately
7,700 U.S. patents. These patents expire at various
dates up to 17 years from the date of award. While we
believe that our portfolio of patents and applications
has value, in general no single patent is essential to
our business or the individual segments. In addition,
any of our proprietary rights could be challenged,
invalidated or circumvented, or may not provide sig-
nificant competitive advantages.

2001 R&D spending of $997 million declined by 
$67 million from 2000. Over half the reduction reflects
the second half 2001 SOHO disengagement, with the
balance due to cost reduction initiatives in 2000 and
2001.

Selling, Administrative and General Expenses: Selling,
administrative and general (“SAG”) expense informa-
tion was as follows ($ in millions):

2002 SAG expense of $4,437 million declined by
$291 million from 2001. The reduction includes lower
bad debt expenses of $106 million, lower SOHO
spending of $84 million and a $34 million favorable
property tax adjustment in North America. These
decreases were partially offset by $106 million of
internal-use software impairment charges, $65 million
of higher advertising and marketing communications
spending, $18 million of increased professional fees
and $26 million of losses associated with the exit from
certain leased facilities. The balance of the reduction
primarily reflects employment reductions associated
with our cost base restructuring which has resulted in
lower labor, benefit and related expenses.

2001 SAG expense of $4,728 million declined 
$790 million from 2000 reflecting significantly lower
labor costs and other benefits derived from our cost
reduction initiatives, temporarily lower advertising and
marketing communications spending of $88 million and
reduced SOHO spending of $62 million, partially offset
by increased professional costs related to litigation, 
regulatory issues and related matters of $52 million.
We expect 2003 total SAG expense reductions in

line with the 2002 decline.

Bad debt expense included in SAG, was $332 mil-
lion, $438 million and $472 million in 2002, 2001 and
2000, respectively. Lower expense in 2002 is due to
improved customer administration, collection prac-
tices and credit approval policies, as well as our rev-
enue declines. 2001 provisions were lower than 2000
due to lower equipment sales, partially offset by
reserve increases due to the weakened worldwide
economy. Bad debt expenses as a percent of total rev-
enue were 2.1 percent, 2.6 percent, and 2.5 percent for
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

As with Finance income, the bad debt provision will

be impacted to the extent we sell portions of our
financing businesses, including existing receivables,
or enter into agreements with third parties to provide
financing directly to our customers. Any provision for
customer credit would accordingly be factored in the
proceeds we receive from the counterparty and the
resultant revenue or gain recognized on the sale of
equipment or receivables. However, as noted above,
since most of our transactions with third parties
involve secured borrowing structures, the associated

20

finance receivables will remain in our Consolidated
Balance Sheets. Accordingly, in these cases the provi-
sion for bad debts will continue to be recorded as
usual and therefore no impact to our Consolidated
Statements of Income is expected.

Restructuring Programs: Starting in late 2000, as a
part of the Turnaround Program, we implemented
work force resizing and cost reduction actions that
reduced SAG expenses and improved gross margins
by approximately $800 million in annualized savings
during 2001 and an additional $300 million, for a total
of $1.1 billion in annualized savings during 2002.
These savings resulted from reducing layers of man-
agement, consolidating operations, reducing adminis-
trative and general spending, capturing service
productivity savings from our digital products and
tightly managing discretionary spending. We reduced
our costs in our Office operating segment by moving
to lower cost indirect sales and service channels 
and by outsourcing our office products manufacturing.
In 2002, we implemented additional restructuring 
initiatives under the Turnaround Program related to
additional worldwide employee severance actions,
reflecting continued streamlining of existing opera-
tions, the elimination of redundant resources and 
the consolidation of activities into other exisiting opera-
tions and the Fourth Quarter 2002 Restructuring
Program. These initiatives resulted in an additional
$200 million of cost savings in 2002. Prospectively, we
expect the annualized savings to be of approximately
$1.7 billion in 2003 as compared to 2000 spending 
levels from these programs.

In addition to the work force resizing and cost
reduction actions, we also sold $2.7 billion of assets
as part of the Turnaround Program. These sales were
primarily focused on improving our liquidity, as well
as transitioning a portion of our equipment financing
to third parties in some geographies, a portion of our
manufacturing activities to Flextronics and exiting cer-
tain non-core businesses.

The most significant of the sales included the sale

of half of our 50 percent ownership interest in Fuji
Xerox in 2001 to Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. (“Fuji Film”)
and our China operations in 2000 to Fuji Xerox, in
order to improve our liquidity. In connection with the
sale of Fuji Xerox, we received $1.3 billion in cash and
recorded a pre-tax gain of $773 million. Under the
agreement Fuji Film’s ownership interest in Fuji Xerox
increased from 50 percent to 75 percent. Our owner-
ship interest decreased to 25 percent and we retain
significant rights as a minority shareholder. We
account for our investment in Fuji Xerox under the
equity method, both before and after the sale of the
additional 25 percent. Subsequent to the sale, we

have maintained our product distribution and technol-
ogy agreements that ensure that both parties have
access to each other’s portfolio of patents, technology
and products. Fuji Xerox continues to sell products to
us as well as collaborate with us on R&D. In 2000, we
recognized approximately $73 million of equity
income from Fuji Xerox in our Consolidated
Statement of Income. Our equity income from Fuji
Xerox in 2002 and 2001 was approximately $45 mil-
lion for both years.

The sale of our China operations to Fuji Xerox 
generated cash of $550 million and a pre-tax gain of 
$200 million. In connection with the sale, Fuji Xerox
also assumed $118 million of indebtedness. Our
China operations had $262 million of revenue in 2000,
which is included in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Income. While Fuji Xerox is our affiliate,
we believe the negotiations for this transaction were
similar to those that would have been entered into
with an unaffiliated third party, both in terms of price
and conditions. Both parties were represented by sep-
arate legal counsel. The sale of our China operations
had no operational impact, other than the permanent
reduction in sales. Given the sale to Fuji Xerox, how-
ever, we retained our equity share of the China opera-
tions’ net income.

We sold our leasing business in four Nordic coun-
tries in 2001 and our leasing business in Italy in 2002
to a company now owned by General Electric (“GE”).
These sales were aligned with our strategy of transi-
tioning portions of our equipment financing to third
parties. We received $352 million in cash and retained
interests in certain finance receivables for the sale of
the Nordic leasing business and $200 million in cash,
plus the assumption of $20 million in debt for the sale
of our leasing business in Italy. The sale of the Nordic
leasing business approximated book value. We recog-
nized a pre-tax loss from the sale in Italy of approxi-
mately $27 million primarily related to the recognition
of cumulative translation adjustment losses and final
sale contingency settlements. The impact of both of
these transactions was to eliminate finance receiv-
ables from our balance sheet approximating the pro-
ceeds received from the sales, thereby improving our
liquidity. GE will be providing the ongoing financing
for these customers in these countries. Removing 
the finance receivable portfolios and essentially out-
sourcing the financing to GE, will result in future
reductions in finance income and financing interest
expense, as well as general and administrative costs.
In addition to these sales, we also entered into a
purchase and supply agreement with Flextronics, a
global electronics manufacturing services company.
Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we sold our
operations in Toronto, Canada; Aguascalientes,
Mexico; Penang, Malaysia; Venray, The Netherlands

21

and Resende, Brazil to Flextronics for $167 million. In
addition, Flextronics purchased the related inventory,
property and equipment. We expect these sales, to a
company that specializes in manufacturing as their
core competency, will help us reduce manufacturing
costs and help effectively manage our inventory lev-
els. In total, approximately 4,100 employees in these
operations transferred to Flextronics. For further dis-
cussion, refer to Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements.

We also exited certain non-core businesses in 

2001 and 2002. These sales included the sale of Katun
Corporation in 2002, a supplier of after market copi-
er/printer parts and supplies, for net proceeds of 
$67 million and the sale of Delphax in 2001, a manu-
facturer of high-speed electron beam imaging digital
printing systems and related parts, supplies and 
services, for net proceeds of $16 million. These sales 
were essentially break-even. The sale of these busi-
nesses did not have a material effect on our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

At this time, we have substantially completed our

restructuring initiatives, although we expect 2003
restructuring charges of approximately $115 million
as further described in Note 2 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Worldwide employment declined by approximately

11,100 in 2002, to approximately 67,800, largely as a
result of our restructuring programs, and the transfer
of employees to Flextronics, as part of our office man-
ufacturing outsourcing. Worldwide employment was
approximately 78,900 and 91,500 at December 31,
2001 and 2000, respectively.

2002 non-financing interest expense was $130 
million lower than 2001 reflecting lower debt levels
throughout 2002 and lower borrowing costs in the
first half of the year, partially offset by higher interest
rates and borrowing costs in the second half of the
year associated with the terms of the New Credit
Facility. Lower borrowing costs reflect the continued
decline in interest rates throughout 2002, coupled
with our higher proportion of variable rate debt in
2002 as compared to 2001. Our current credit ratings
are below investment grade and effectively constrain
our ability to fully use derivative contracts to manage
interest rate risk. Accordingly, although we benefited
from lower interest rates in 2002, we have greater
exposure to volatility in our results of operations. 2002
non-financing interest expense included net gains of
$12 million from the mark-to-market valuation of our
interest rate swaps. Differences between the contract
terms of our interest rate swaps and the underlying
related debt restricts hedge accounting treatment in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative and
Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), which required
us to record the mark-to-market valuation of these
derivatives directly to earnings. 2001 non-financing
interest expense was $112 million lower than 2000,
reflecting lower interest rates and lower debt levels.
Non-financing interest expense in 2001 included net
losses of $2 million from the mark-to-market of our
interest rate swaps. Due to the inherent volatility in
the interest rate markets, we are unable to predict the
amount of the above noted mark-to-market gains or
losses in future periods. Such gains or losses could be
material to the financial statements in any future
reporting period.

Net currency losses (gains) result from the 
re-measurement of unhedged foreign currency-
denominated assets and liabilities, the spot/forward
premiums on foreign exchange forward contracts in
those markets where we have been able to restore
economic hedging capability and economic hedges of
anticipated transactions for which we do not qualify
for cash flow hedge accounting treatment under 
SFAS No. 133. In the first half of 2002, we incurred 
$57 million of exchange losses, primarily in Brazil and
Argentina due to the devaluation of the underlying
currencies. In the latter half of 2002, we have been
able to restore hedging capability in the majority of
our key markets. Therefore, the $20 million of curren-
cy losses in the second half of 2002 primarily repre-
sents the spot/forward premiums on foreign
exchange forward contracts and unfavorable currency
movements on economic hedges of anticipated trans-
actions not qualifying for hedge accounting treat-
ment. In 2001, exchange gains on yen debt of 
$107 million more than offset losses on Euro loans of

22

$36 million, a $17 million exchange loss resulting
from the peso devaluation in Argentina and other cur-
rency exchange losses of $25 million. In 2000, large
gains on both the yen and Euro loans contributed to
the $103 million gain. The 2001 and 2000 currency
gains and losses were the result of net unhedged
positions largely caused by our restricted access to
the derivatives markets beginning in the fourth quar-
ter 2000. Despite restoration of hedging capability in
our key markets in the latter half of 2002, we are
unable to predict the amount of the re-measurement
gains or losses in future periods resulting from our
remaining unhedged positions, due to the inherent
volatility in the foreign currency markets. Such gains
or losses could be material to the financial statements
in any future reporting period.

Legal and regulatory matters includes $27 million
of expenses related to certain litigation, indemnifica-
tions and associated claims, as well as the $10 million
penalty incurred in connection with our settlement
with the SEC. See Note 15 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information.

Prior to 2002, goodwill and other intangible asset
amortization related primarily to our acquisitions of
the remaining minority interest in Xerox Limited in
1995 and 1997, XL Connect in 1998 and Color Printing
and Imaging Division of Tektronix, Inc. in 2000.
Effective January 1, 2002 and in connection with the
adoption of SFAS No. 142, we no longer record amor-
tization of goodwill. Intangible assets continue to be
amortized over their useful lives. Further discussion is
provided in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Interest income is derived primarily from our signifi-

cant invested cash balances since the latter part of
2000. 2002 interest income was lower than 2001 due to
lower invested cash balances in the second half of
2002, resulting from the pay-down of the Old Revolver,
as well as lower interest rates. 2001 interest income
was $24 million higher than 2000 due to higher interest
income resulting from a full year of invested cash bal-
ances in 2001, partially offset by lower interest from tax
audit refunds. We expect 2003 interest income to be
lower than 2002 based on projected lower average
cash balances.

In 2002, we retired $52 million of long-term debt
through the exchange of 6.4 million shares of com-
mon stock valued at $51 million. In 2001, we retired
$374 million of long-term debt through the exchange
of 41 million shares of common stock valued at  
$311 million. The shares were valued using the daily
volume weighted average price of our common 

stock over a specified number of days prior to the
exchange, based on contractual terms. These transac-
tions resulted in gains of $1 million and $63 million 
in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

(Gains) losses on business divestitures and asset
sales include the sales of our leasing business in Italy,
our investment in Prudential Insurance Company
common stock and our equity investment in Katun
Corporation all in 2002, the sale of our Nordic leasing
business in 2001 and the sale of our North American
paper product line and a 25 percent interest in
ContentGuard in 2000, as well as miscellaneous land,
buildings and equipment in all years. Further discus-
sion of our divestitures follows and is also contained
in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Purchased in-process research and development
related to a 2000 acquisition. The charge represented
the fair value of acquired research and development
projects that were determined not to have reached tech-
nological feasibility as of the date of the acquisition.

Gain on Affiliate’s Sale of Stock: In 2001 and 2000,
gain on affiliate’s sale of stock of $4 million and 
$21 million, respectively, reflects our proportionate
share of the increase in equity of ScanSoft Inc., result-
ing from issuance of their stock in connection with
one of their acquisitions. The 2000 gain was partially
offset by a $5 million charge reflecting our share of 
in-process research and development associated with
one of their acquisitions, which is included in Equity 
in net income of unconsolidated affiliates. ScanSoft,
an equity affiliate, is a developer of digital imaging
software that enables users to leverage the power of
their scanners, digital cameras and other electronic
devices.

Income Taxes: The following table summarizes our
consolidated income tax (benefits) and the related
effective tax rate for each respective period:

Year Ended December 31,

$(367)
(70)

The difference between the 2002 consolidated
effective tax rate of 23.8 percent and the U.S. federal
statutory income tax rate of 35 percent relates prima-
rily to the recognition of tax benefits resulting from
the favorable resolution of a foreign tax audit of
approximately $79 million, tax law changes of
approximately $26 million, as well as the impact of
ESOP dividends. Such benefits were offset, in part, by
tax expense recorded for the on-going examination in
India, the sale of our interest in Katun Corporation, as

23

well as recurring losses in certain jurisdictions where
we are not providing tax benefits.

The difference between the 2001 effective tax rate
and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate, relates
primarily to the recognition of deferred tax asset valua-
tion allowances of $247 million from our recoverability
assessments, the taxes incurred in connection with the
sale of our partial interest in Fuji Xerox and recurring
losses in low tax jurisdictions. The gain for tax purpos-
es on the sale of Fuji Xerox was disproportionate to the
gain for book purposes as a result of a lower tax basis
in the investment. Other items favorably impacting the
tax rate included a tax audit resolution of approximate-
ly $140 million and additional tax benefits arising from
prior period restructuring provisions.

The difference between the 2000 effective tax rate
and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate, relates
primarily to recurring losses in low tax jurisdictions, the
recognition of deferred tax asset valuation allowances
resulting from our recoverability assessments, as offset
by $125 million of additional tax benefits arising from
the favorable resolution of tax audits.

Our effective tax rate will change based on nonre-
curring events (such as new restructuring actions) as
well as recurring factors including the geographical
mix of income before taxes. We expect our 2003 con-
solidated effective tax rate will approximate 40 percent.

Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates:
Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates is prin-
cipally related to our 25 percent share of Fuji Xerox
income, subsequent to our sale of 25 percent of Fuji
Xerox in March 2001. Equity in net income in 2002 of
$54 million was in line with our 2001 result of $53 mil-
lion, as compared with $66 million in 2000. The 2000
results primarily reflected our 50 percent ownership
share in Fuji Xerox, partially offset by our $37 million
share of a restructuring charge recorded by Fuji Xerox.

Minorities’ Interest in Earnings of Subsidiaries:
Minorities’ interest in earnings of subsidiaries
includes the minority share of subsidiaries that we do
not own, as well as dividends on our preferred securi-
ties. The increase of $50 million in 2002 to $92 million
from 2001, primarily related to a full year of the quar-
terly distributions on the Convertible Trust Preferred
Securities, issued in November 2001, as more fully
discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Acquisitions: In January 2000, we acquired the Color
Printing and Imaging Division of Tektronix, Inc.
(“CPID”) for $907 million in cash, net of an $18 million
purchase price adjustment received in 2001, including
$73 million paid by Fuji Xerox for the Asia/Pacific oper-
ations. CPID manufactures and sells color printers, ink
and related products and supplies. At that time, the
acquisition accelerated us to the number two market
position in office color printing, improved our reseller
and dealer distribution network and provided us with
scalable solid ink technology. The acquisition also
enabled significant product development and expense
synergies with our monochrome printer organization.

Business Performance by Segment: 

Our reportable segments are consistent with how we
manage the business and how we view the markets
we serve. Our reportable segments are as follows:
Production, Office, DMO, SOHO, and Other. The table
below summarizes our business performance by
operating segment for the three-year period ended
December 31, 2002. Revenues and associated per-
centage changes, along with operating profits and
margins by segment are included. Segment operating
profit (loss) excludes certain non-segment items, such
as restructuring charges and gains on sales of busi-
nesses, as further described in Note 9 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements where we present
a reconciliation of segment profit/(loss) to pre-tax
profit (loss) as presented in our Consolidated
Statements of Income.

Operating segment information for 2001 has been

adjusted to reflect a change in operating segment
structure that was made in 2002. The nature of the
changes related primarily to corporate expense and
other allocations associated with internal reorganiza-
tions made in 2002, as well as decisions concerning
direct applicability of certain overhead expenses to the
segments. The adjustments increased (decreased) full
year 2001 revenues as follows: Production – ($16 mil-
lion), Office – ($16 million), DMO – ($1 million), SOHO
– $3 million and Other – $30 million. The full year 2001
segment profit was increased (decreased) as follows:
Production – $12 million, Office – $24 million, DMO –
$32 million, SOHO – $2 million and Other – ($70 mil-
lion). The operating segment information for 2000 has
not been restated, as it was impracticable to do so.
Therefore, we have presented 2002 and 2001 on the
new basis and 2002, 2001 and 2000 on the old basis.

Production: Production revenues include production
publishing, production printing, color products for the
production and graphic arts markets as well as digital
and light-lens copiers over 90 pages per minute, sold
predominantly through direct sales channels in North
America and Europe. Production revenues represented
35 percent (new basis) of both 2002 and 2001 revenues.
2002 Production revenues declined 5 percent from

2001 (new basis), and included a benefit of approxi-
mately 1.5 percentage points from currency. High 
single digit declines in Production monochrome rev-
enues were only partially offset by mid-single digit
growth in Production color revenues. Production
monochrome declines reflect continued customer
transition from light-lens to digital equipment, move-
ment to distributed printing and other electronic
media and the weak economy. Growth in Production
color revenue reflects continued strong growth in our
DocuColor® 2000 series. The DocuColor 2000 series,
launched in 2000, at speeds of 45 and 60 pages per
minute established an industry standard by producing
near offset-quality, full color prints including cus-
tomized one-to-one printing at a variable cost of less
than 10 cents per page. The series was complemented
by the launch of the DocuColor 6060 during the second
half of 2002. Mid-Range color revenue also increased,
fueled by the successful launch of the DocuColor 1632
and DocuColor 2240 midrange printer/copiers in the
second half of 2002.

2001 Production revenue declined 7 percent (old
basis) from 2000, including an unfavorable one per-
centage point impact due to currency. Production
monochrome revenue declines reflected competitive
product introductions, movement to distributed print-
ing and electronic substitutes, and weakness in the
worldwide economy. Revenue from our DocuTech®
production publishing products, which has been con-
tinually refreshed and expanded since its 1990 launch,
declined in 2001 reflecting the 1999 introduction of a
competitive product. In production printing, we have
maintained our strong market leadership in both 2002
and 2001, however, revenue decreased reflecting
declines in the transaction printing market. 2001 pro-
duction color revenues increased 2 percent (old basis)
from 2000, including strong DocuColor 2000 series
growth, partially offset by declines in older products
reflecting introduction of competitive offerings and
the effects of the weakened worldwide economy in
the second half of the year.

2002 Production operating profit of $625 million
(new basis) improved $159 million from 2001 and
operating margin expanded 3.2 percentage points to
11.1 percent reflecting improvements in gross margin
and lower SAG including reduced bad debt levels.
2001 Production operating profit was similar to
2000 and the operating margin improved to 7.7 per-
cent (old basis) as we realized benefits from our
Turnaround Program.

25

Office: Office revenues include our family of Document
Centre® digital multifunction products, color laser, solid
ink and monochrome laser printers, digital and light-
lens copiers under 90 pages per minute, and facsimile
products sold through direct and indirect sales chan-
nels in North America and Europe. Office revenues rep-
resented 42 percent (new basis) of 2002 revenues
compared with 41 percent in 2001.

2002 Office revenues declined 4 percent (new
basis) from 2001 including a one percentage point
benefit from currency. Declines in older light-lens
products were only partially offset by growth in
monochrome digital multifunction devices and office
color printers. Office color printer revenue grew in the
mid single digits reflecting the success of the 2002
launches of the Phaser® 6200 laser and 8200 solid ink
printers and strong Phaser color printers and
Document Centre Color Series 50 post sales revenue
growth. Monochrome digital multifunction revenues
grew in the mid-single digits reflecting strong post
sale growth and the initial benefits of the launch of
the Document 500 series in the second half of 2002.

2001 Office revenues declined 2 percent (old basis)

from 2000 including a one percent adverse impact
from currency. Strong double-digit Office color
growth was more than offset by monochrome
declines. Office color revenue growth was driven by
the Document Centre Color Series 50 and strong color
printer equipment sales, including the Phaser 860
solid ink and Phaser 7700 laser printers. 2001 Office
monochrome revenues declined as growth in digital
multifunction was more than offset by declines in
light lens as customers continued to transition to digi-
tal technology. This decline was exacerbated further
by our reduced participation in very aggressively
priced competitive customer bids and tenders in
Europe, as we prioritized profitable revenue over mar-
ket share. Monochrome declines were slightly miti-
gated by the successful North American launch of the
Document Centre 490 in September 2001.

2002 Office operating profit of $498 million (new
basis) improved by $133 million from 2001 and the
operating margin expanded by 2.2 percentage points
to 7.5 percent. The operating profit improvement was
driven by improved gross margins, as we focused on
more profitable revenue, improved our manufactur-
ing and service productivity and reduced SAG
expenses.

2001 operating profit of $341 million (old basis)
improved compared to a $180 million loss in 2000,
reflecting higher gross margins and decreased SAG
expenses due to restructuring activities.

DMO: DMO includes operations in Latin America, the
Middle East, India, Eurasia, Russia and Africa. DMO
revenues represented 11 percent of 2002 revenues, as
compared to 12 percent of 2001 revenues.

2002 DMO revenue declined 13 percent from 2001
entirely due to reductions in post sale revenue as the
result of decreases in the amount of equipment at
customer locations and a 19 percent currency devalu-
ation in Brazil.

2001 DMO revenue declined 23 percent (old basis)

from 2000, with approximately 45 percent of that
decline due to the December 2000 sale of our China
operations. An additional one-third of the 2001 DMO
decline was due to lower post sale revenue, as a
result of a lower number of printers and copiers at
customer locations and a currency devaluation of 
22 percent in Brazil. The remainder of the decline was
due to lower equipment revenue, which resulted 
from implementation of a new business model that
emphasizes liquidity and profitable revenue rather
than market share.

2002 DMO operating profit of $62 million (new
basis), was $187 million better than 2001. The profit
improvement was due to lower SAG spending result-
ing from our cost base actions and lower bad debt
levels, as well as, significant gross margin improve-
ment, reflecting our focus on profitability and lower
bad debt levels. DMO continued to refine its business
model in 2002, by transitioning equipment financing
to third parties, improving credit requirements for
equipment sale transactions and implementing addi-
tional cost reduction actions. In addition, we imple-
mented a strategy to move to distributors in smaller
countries, including Jamaica and Nigeria, which we
expect will benefit operations by removing fixed
costs.

The 2001 DMO loss of $157 million (old basis) was

due to the revenue decline from the preceding year,
weak gross margins and the currency devaluation in
Argentina. These declines were only partially offset by
initial cost restructuring benefits.

SOHO: We announced our disengagement from our
worldwide SOHO business in June 2001 and sold our
remaining equipment inventory by the end of that
year. SOHO revenues now consist primarily of prof-
itable consumables for the inkjet printers and person-
al copiers previously sold through retail channels in
North America and Europe.

2002 SOHO segment profit of $82 million (new
basis) improved $277 million from 2001 due to the
sales of high margin supplies as compared to losses
previously incurred on equipment sales. We expect
sales of these supplies to decline over time as the
existing equipment population is replaced.

26

The 2001 SOHO segment loss improved by $96 mil-

2002 Other segment loss of $289 million (new

lion (old basis) or 32 percent from 2000. Despite a
gross margin decline, significant SAG and R&D reduc-
tions, following our June 2001 disengagement, result-
ed in substantially lower operating losses in 2001 and
a return to profitability in the fourth quarter.

Other: Over half of the revenues in our Other segment
are derived from sales of paper, approximately, one
quarter are from Xerox Engineering Systems (“XES”),
and the remainder are derived from Xerox Connect
(“XConnect”), Xerox Technology Enterprises (“XTE”)
and other sources including consulting services, roy-
alty and license revenues. XES is a business that sells
equipment used for special engineering applications,
XConnect is a network service business aimed at opti-
mizing office efficiency and providing solutions and
XTE consists of a collection of high technology start-
up entities. The Other segment profit (loss) includes
the profit (loss) from the previously mentioned
sources, equity income received from Fuji Xerox and
certain costs which have not been allocated to the
businesses including non-financing and other corpo-
rate costs.

2002 Other revenues declined 9 percent (new
basis), from 2001. Approximately half of the decline
was due to lower revenues in XES and XConnect, an
additional 15 percent related to lower paper sales con-
sistent with other post sale revenue declines, partially
offset by licensing revenue and royalties. XES rev-
enue declined principally due to lower dealer equip-
ment revenue, while XConnect declines were due to a
reduced emphasis on third-party equipment installa-
tions. The remainder of the declines were consistent
with other aspects of our business.

2001 Other revenues of $1,749 million (old basis)
declined 18 percent from 2000. Approximately 25 per-
cent of the revenue decline was due to lower paper
sales, consistent with our post sale declines. Another
25 percent decline was attributable to lower XTE rev-
enues due to the sale of a business in 2000, the clos-
ing of one business in 2001, and the deconsolidation
of two small investments during 2001 due to changes
in ownership structure and the resultant change to
equity accounting. XES revenue represented 20 per-
cent of the decline principally due to increased
European competition and lower post sale revenue
resulting from lower machine populations. XConnect
revenue also accounted for 20 percent of the decline
due to a decreased emphasis on third-party equip-
ment installations. The remaining decline was consis-
tent with other aspects of our business.

basis), increased by $146 million from 2001, principal-
ly due to the write-off of internal use software of 
$106 million, higher pension and benefit expense 
of $93 million and higher advertising expenses of 
$62 million. These increased costs were partially off-
set by lower non-financing interest expense of 
$130 million, the $33 million beneficial year over 
year impact of the ESOP expense adjustment and 
the $50 million profit from licensing revenue.

The 2001 Other segment loss of $73 (old basis)

reflects additional ESOP compensation expense
necessitated by the elimination of the ESOP dividend
of $33 million, higher professional fees related to litiga-
tion and SEC issues and related matters of $52 million.
2000 results benefited from the gains on the sales of
our North American paper business of $40 million, a 
25 percent interest in ContentGuard of $23 million and
a $21 million gain on our ScanSoft affiliate’s sale of
stock.

New Accounting Standards:

During 2002 and 2001, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) issued several new
accounting standards which effect the recognition
and measurement and/or disclosure of business com-
binations, goodwill and intangible assets, impairment
or disposals of long-lived assets, gains on extinguish-
ment of debt, costs associated with exit or disposal
activities and stock-based compensation. We have
adopted these new standards in whole or in part, as
applicable, during the year ended December 31, 2002.
The effects of these new standards are discussed in
the relevant sections of this MD&A and in more detail
in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In addition, the FASB has recently issued the fol-
lowing applicable standards and interpretations that
we have not yet adopted:

– Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement 
Obligations” (“SFAS 143”), 

– FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s 

Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for 
Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of 
Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”),

– FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of 

Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”).

We have adopted the disclosure provisions of FIN

45 and FIN 46 as of December 31, 2002. We do not
expect the adoption of SFAS No. 143, FIN 45 and FIN
46 to have a material effect on our financial position
or results of operations.

2002 Versus 2001: For the year ended December 31,
2002, operating cash flows of $1,876 million include
net income before restructuring and other non-
cash items of $2,124 million and finance receivable
reductions of $754 million due to collection of receiv-
ables from prior year’s sales without an offsetting
receivables increase due to lower equipment sales in
2002, together with a transition to third-party vendor
financing arrangements in the Nordic countries, Italy,
Brazil and Mexico. These cash flows were partially 
offset by $442 million of tax payments, including 
$346 million related to the 2001 sale of half of our
interest in Fuji Xerox, $392 million of restructuring
related cash payments, approximately $300 million 
of other working capital uses, primarily related to 
the October 2002 termination of our U.S. revolving
accounts receivable securitization, $127 million of 
on-lease equipment expenditures and a $138 million
cash contribution to our pension plans.

The $310 million improvement in operating cash
flow versus 2001 reflects increased finance receivable
collections of $666 million, the absence of cash pay-
ments related to the 2001 early termination of deriva-
tive contracts of $148 million and lower on lease
equipment spending of $144 million. The decline in
2002 on lease equipment spending reflected declining
rental placement activity and populations, particularly
in our older-generation light-lens products. These

28

items were partially offset by higher cash taxes of
$385 million, higher pension contributions of $96 mil-
lion and increased working capital uses of over $300
million, much of which was caused by the accounts
receivable securitization termination noted above. In
addition, cash flow generated by reducing inventory
during 2002 occurred at a much slower rate than in
2001 as inventory reductions were offset by increased
requirements for new product launches.

Investing cash flows for the year ended December
31, 2002 consisted primarily of proceeds of $200 mil-
lion from the sale of our Italian leasing business, 
$53 million related to the sale of certain manufactur-
ing locations to Flextronics, $67 million related to the
sale of our interest in Katun and $19 million from the
sale of our investment in Prudential common stock.
These inflows were partially offset by our capital and
internal use software spending of $196 million.
Investing cash flows in 2001 largely consisted of the
$1,768 million of cash received from sales of business-
es, including one half of our interest in Fuji Xerox, our
leasing businesses in the Nordic countries and certain
manufacturing assets to Flextronics. These cash pro-
ceeds were offset by capital and internal use software
spending of $343 million, a $255 million payment relat-
ed to our funding of trusts to replace Ridge
Reinsurance letters of credit, $115 million of payments
for the funding of escrow requirements related to the
lease contracts transferred to GE, $229 million of pay-
ments for the funding of escrow requirements related
to the 2002 and 2003 scheduled distribution payments
for the trust preferred securities and $29 million of pay-
ments for other contractual requirements.

Financing activities for the year ended December 31,

2002 consisted of $2.8 billion of debt repayments on
the Old Revolver and $710 million on the New Credit
Facility, $1.9 billion of other scheduled payments of
maturing debt, and dividends of $67 million on our pre-
ferred stock. These cash outflows were partially offset
by proceeds of $746 million from our 9.75 percent
Senior Notes offering and $1.4 billion of net proceeds
from secured borrowing activity with GE and other
vendor financing partners. Financing activities for the
comparable 2001 period consisted of scheduled debt
repayments of $2.4 billion and dividends on our com-
mon and preferred stock of $93 million. These outflows
were offset by net proceeds from secured borrowing
activity of $1,350 million and proceeds from the
issuance of trust preferred securities of $1.0 billion.

2001 Versus 2000: For the year ended December 31,
2001 operating cash flows of $1,566 million reflected
net income before restructuring charges and other
non-cash items of $2,312 million (including a net gain
of $304 related to the sale of half our interest in Fuji
Xerox). Operating cash flow improved significantly
compared to 2000, primarily due to working capital
improvements. Although our revenue declined, which

normally leads to a reduction in receivables and
payables balances, our collections of receivables
exceeded our payments on accounts payable and
other current liability accounts by approximately 
$500 million. We reduced our inventory balances and
spending for on-lease equipment by approximately
$480 million. We also had a one-year benefit of
approximately $350 million associated with the timing
of taxes due on the gain from our sale of half our
interest of Fuji Xerox, which we did not have to pay
until first quarter 2002. The overall impact of our
reported net loss on our operating cash flows, after
considering the impacts of non-cash items associated
with restructuring charges, provisions, tax valuation
allowances and gains did not vary significantly
between 2001 and 2000.

Investing cash flows were higher in 2001 primarily
due to $1,768 million of cash received from the sales
of businesses, including Fuji Xerox and our leasing
businesses in the Nordic countries. These cash pro-
ceeds were greater than the $640 million received
from the sale of businesses in 2000. In 2001 we also
reduced capital spending and internal-use software
spending significantly. Other factors contributing to
the 2001 improvement were the acquisition of CPID in
2000, which utilized cash of $856 million, while in
2001 we were required to fund $628 million of certain
escrow and insurance trusts based on contractual
requirements.

Our 2001 financing cash flows largely consisted of
a net repayment of approximately $1.1 billion of debt,
offset by a private placement of $1.0 billion of trust
preferred securities. The suspension of dividends on
our common and preferred stock also positively
impacted our cash flows in 2001. 2000 financing activ-
ities consisted of net borrowing of $2.9 billion, which
funded the CPID acquisition and increased our cash
balance, partially offset by common and preferred
stock dividends of $587 million.

Capital Structure and Liquidity: Historically, we have
provided equipment financing to a significant majori-
ty of our customers. Because the finance leases allow
our customers to pay for equipment over time rather
than at the date of purchase, we have needed to
maintain significant levels of debt to provide operat-
ing liquidity, as liquidity generated from receivable
collections has generally been used to fund new
equipment leases. A significant portion of our debt is
directly related to the funding requirements of our
financing business.

During the years ended December 31, 2002 and
2001, we originated loans, secured by finance receiv-
ables, with cash proceeds of $3,055 million and 

$2,418 million, respectively. Approximately half of our
total finance receivable portfolio has been securitized
at December 31, 2002 compared with 24 percent a
year earlier. We expect to increase the proportion of
our finance receivables which are securitized to
approximately 60 percent by the end of 2004. The 
following table compares finance receivables to
financing-related debt as of December 31, 2002 ($ in
millions):

Liquidity, Financial Flexibility and Funding Plans:
We manage our worldwide liquidity using internal
cash management practices, which are subject to (1)
the statutes, regulations and practices of each of the
local jurisdictions in which we operate, (2) the legal
requirements of the agreements to which we are 
parties and (3) the policies and cooperation of the
financial institutions we utilize to maintain such cash
management practices. In 2000, our operational
issues were exacerbated by significant competitive
and industry changes, adverse economic conditions,
and significant technology and acquisition spending.
Together, these conditions negatively impacted our
liquidity, which from 2000 to 2002 led to a series of
credit rating downgrades, eventually to below invest-
ment grade. Consequently, our access to capital and
derivative markets has been restricted. The down-
grades also required us to cash-collateralize certain
derivative and securitization arrangements to prevent
them from terminating, and to immediately settle 
terminating derivative contracts. Further, we are
required to maintain minimum cash balances in
escrow on certain borrowings and letters of credit. In
addition, the SEC would not allow us to publicly regis-
ter any securities offerings while their investigation,
which commenced in June 2000, was ongoing. This
additional constraint essentially prevented us from
raising funds from sources other than unregistered
capital markets offerings and private lending or equity
sources. Consequently, our credit ratings, which were
already under pressure, came under greater pressure
since credit rating agencies often include access to
capital sources in their rating criteria.

30

While the 2002 conclusion of the SEC investigation
removed our previous inability to access public capi-
tal markets, we expect our ability to access unsecured
credit sources to remain limited as long as our credit
ratings remain below investment grade, and we
expect our incremental cost of borrowing will remain
relatively high as a result of our credit ratings and
could potentially result in our having to increase our
level of intercompany lending to our affiliates.

Our current ratings are as follows:

As a result of the various factors described above, in

2000 we abandoned our historical liquidity practice of
repaying debt with available cash and relying on low
interest commercial paper borrowings. Instead, we
have been accumulating cash in an effort to maintain
financial flexibility. We expect to maintain a minimum
cash balance of at least $1 billion on an ongoing basis.

Financing Business and Restructuring: In 2000, as part
of our Turnaround Program, we announced our intent
to exit the financing business, wherever practical, in
order to reduce our consolidated debt levels and
accelerate the liquidity within our finance receivable
portfolios. We altered our strategy in 2002, announc-
ing plans to securitize our finance receivables, thereby
retaining the customer relationship and financing
income.

Other Turnaround initiatives included selling cer-
tain assets, improving operations, and reducing annu-
al costs by over $1 billion. These initiatives are
expected to significantly improve our liquidity going
forward. We have (1) securitized portions of our exist-
ing finance receivables portfolios, (2) implemented
vendor financing programs with third parties in the
United States, The Netherlands, the Nordic countries,
Italy, Brazil and Mexico, (3) announced major initia-
tives with GE and other third party vendors to securi-
tize our finance receivables in other countries,
including the completion of the New U.S. Vendor
Financing Agreement (see Note 5 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements), (4) sold several non-core assets
and (5) reduced our annual costs by $1.7 billion.
As more fully discussed in Note 5 to the

Consolidated Financial Statements, we have complet-
ed the following securitization initiatives:

In June 2001, we announced several Framework
Agreements with GE under which they became our
primary equipment-financing provider in the U.S.,
Canada, Germany and France. In October 2002 we
finalized an eight-year U.S. arrangement and fund-
ing commenced in the fourth quarter of 2002. We
are currently negotiating other GE arrangements
under the respective Framework Agreements.
In April 2001, we sold our leasing businesses in
four Nordic countries to a company now owned by
GE and retained interests in certain finance receiv-
ables. These sales are part of an agreement under
which that company will provide ongoing, exclu-
sive equipment financing to our customers in those
countries.
In December 2001, we formed a joint venture with
De Lage Landen International BV (“DLL”) which
manages equipment financing, billing and collec-
tions for our customers’ equipment orders in the
Netherlands. This joint venture began funding in
the first quarter of 2002. DLL owns 51 percent of
the venture and provides the funding to support
new customer leases. We own the remaining 49
percent of this unconsolidated venture.
In March 2002, we signed agreements with third
parties in Brazil and Mexico under which those
third parties became our primary equipment
financing providers in those countries. Funding
under both of these arrangements commenced in
the second quarter of 2002.
In April 2002, we sold our leasing business in Italy
to a company recently acquired by GE, as part of an
agreement under which GE will provide on-going,
exclusive equipment financing to our customers in
Italy.
In December 2002, we securitized existing state and
local government finance receivables in the U.S.
with GE.
In December 2002, we securitized existing finance
receivables in France with a 364-day financing with
Merrill Lynch (“ML”). ML intends to replace this
financing with a long-term public secured offering
during 2003.
In December 2002, we received a series of financ-
ings from our unconsolidated joint venture with
DLL, secured by our lease receivables in Holland.
In December 2002, we received loans from GE
secured by finance receivables in Germany.

New Credit Facility: In June 2002, we entered into an
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “New
Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders, replacing 
our prior $7 billion facility (the “Old Revolver”). At that
time, we permanently repaid $2.8 billion of the Old
Revolver and subsequently paid $710 million on the
New Credit Facility. At December 31, 2002, the New
Credit Facility consisted of two tranches of term loans
totaling $2.0 billion and a $1.5 billion revolving credit

facility that includes a $200 million letter of credit sub-
facility. At December 31, 2002, $3.5 billion was out-
standing under the New Credit Facility. At December
31, 2002 we had no additional borrowing capacity
under the New Credit Facility since the entire revolving
facility was outstanding, including a $10 million letter
of credit under the subfacility. Xerox Corporation is the
only borrower of the term loans. The revolving loans
are available, without sub-limit, to Xerox Corporation
and to Xerox Canada Capital Limited (“XCCL”), Xerox
Capital Europe plc (“XCE”), and other foreign sub-
sidiaries as defined. Xerox Corporation is the borrower
of all but $50 million of the revolver at December 31,
2002. The size and contractual maturities of the loans
are as follows ($ in millions):

We are required to repay portions of the loans earli-

er than their scheduled maturities with specified per-
centages of any proceeds we receive from capital
market debt issuances, equity issuances or asset sales
during the term of the New Credit Facility, except that
the revolving facility cannot be reduced below $1 bil-
lion, as a result of such prepayments. Additionally, all
loans under the New Credit Facility become due and
payable upon the occurrence of a change in control.
Subject to certain limits described in the following

paragraph, all obligations under the New Credit
Facility are secured by liens on substantially all of the
domestic assets of Xerox Corporation and by liens on
the assets of substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries
(excluding Xerox Credit Corporation (“XCC”)), and
are guaranteed by substantially all of our U.S. sub-
sidiaries. In addition, a revolving loan outstanding to
XCCL ($50 million at December 31, 2002) is secured
by all of its assets, and is guaranteed by certain
defined material foreign subsidiaries.

Under the terms of certain of our outstanding pub-
lic bond indentures, the amount of obligations under
the New Credit Facility that can be (1) secured by
assets (the “Restricted Assets”) of (a) Xerox
Corporation and (b) our non-financing subsidiaries
that have a consolidated net worth of at least 
$100 million, without (2) triggering a requirement to
also secure those indentures, is limited to the excess
of (1) 20 percent of our consolidated net worth (as
defined in the public bond indentures) over (2) the
outstanding amount of certain other debt that is
secured by the Restricted Assets. Accordingly, the
amount of New Credit Facility debt secured by the

31

Restricted Assets (the “Restricted Asset Security
Amount”) will vary from time to time with changes 
in our consolidated net worth. The amount of security
provided under this formula accrues first to the 
benefit of Tranche B loans and then to the benefit of
Tranche A Loans and Revolving Loans, ratably.

and equipment”, plus any capital lease obligations
incurred;

• Minimum consolidated net worth ranging from

$2.9 billion to $3.1 billion; for this purpose, “consol-

are disregarded, the preferred securities (whether
or not convertible) issued by us or by our sub-
sidiaries which were outstanding on June 21, 2002
will always be included, and any capital stock or
similar equity interest issued after June 21, 2002
which matures or generally becomes mandatorily
redeemable for cash or puttable at holders’ option
prior to November 1, 2005 is always excluded; and

changes to corporate structure and nature of busi-
ness, including mergers; (iv) investments and

actions other than those in the ordinary course of
business and certain types of synthetic equity or
debt derivatives, and (vii) certain types of restricted
payments relating to our, or our subsidiaries’, equi-
ty interests, including payment of cash dividends
on our common stock; (viii) certain types of early
retirement of debt, and (ix) certain transactions
with affiliates, including intercompany loans and
asset transfers.

The New Credit Facility generally does not affect
our ability to continue to monetize receivables under
the agreements with GE and others. Although we can-
not pay cash dividends on our common stock during

guaranteeing the New Credit Facility are not
Restricted Assets because those entities are not
restricted subsidiaries as defined in our public bond
indentures. Consequently, the amount of New Credit
Facility debt secured by their assets is not subject to
the foregoing limits. However, these guarantees are
enforceable only to the extent of the New Credit
Facility borrowings in Europe and Canada.

The New Credit Facility loans generally bear inter-
est at LIBOR plus 4.50 percent, except that the Tranche
B term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread 
that varies between 4.00 percent and 4.50 percent
depending on the amount by which the Restricted
Asset Security Amount exceeds the outstanding
Tranche B loan.

The New Credit Facility, a copy of which we have
filed with the SEC as Exhibits 4 (1)(1) and 99.6 to our
Current Reports on Form 8-K dated June 21, 2002 and
September 26, 2002, respectively, contains affirmative
and negative covenants. The New Credit Facility con-
tains financial covenants that the Old Revolver did 
not contain. Certain of the more significant covenants
under the New Credit Facility are summarized below
(this summary is not complete and is in all respects
subject to the actual provisions of the New Credit
Facility):

• Excess cash of certain foreign subsidiaries and of
Xerox Credit Corporation, a wholly-owned sub-
sidiary, must be transferred to Xerox Corporation
at the end of each fiscal quarter; for this purpose,
“excess cash” generally means cash maintained by
certain foreign subsidiaries taken as a whole in
excess of their aggregate working capital and other
needs in the ordinary course of business (net of
sources of funds from third parties), including rea-
sonably anticipated needs for repaying debt and
other obligations and making investments in their
businesses. In certain circumstances, we are not
required to transfer cash to Xerox Corporation, if
the transfer cannot be made in a tax efficient man-
ner or if it would be considered a breach of fiduci-
ary duty by the directors of the foreign subsidiary;
• Minimum EBITDA (a quarterly test that is based on
rolling four quarters) ranging from $1.0 to $1.3 bil-
lion; for this purpose, “EBITDA” (Earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) gen-
erally means EBITDA (excluding interest and

dividends on our preferred stock, provided there is
then no event of default. In addition to other defaults
customary for facilities of this type, defaults on other
debt, or bankruptcy, of Xerox Corporation, or certain
of our subsidiaries, would constitute defaults under
the New Credit Facility.

At December 31, 2002, we are in compliance with
all aspects of the New Credit Facility including finan-
cial covenants and expect to be in compliance for at
least the next twelve months. Failure to be in compli-
ance with any material provision or covenant of the
New Credit Facility could have a material adverse
effect on our liquidity and operations.

As previously mentioned, in October 2002, we
completed an eight-year agreement in the U.S. (the
“New U.S. Vendor Financing Agreement”), under
which GE Vendor Financial Services, a subsidiary of
GE, became our primary equipment financing
provider in the U.S., through monthly securitizations
of our new lease originations. In addition to the 
$2.5 billion already funded by GE prior to this agree-
ment, which is secured by portions of our current U.S.
lease receivables, the New U.S. Vendor Financing
Agreement calls for GE to provide funding in the 
U.S. on new lease originations, of up to an additional 
$5 billion outstanding at anytime, during the eight
year term, subject to normal customer acceptance 
criteria. The $5 billion limit may be increased to 
$8 billion subject to agreement between the parties.
The new agreement contains mutually agreed renew-
al options for successive two-year periods.

Under this agreement, we expect GE to fund

approximately 70 percent of new U.S. lease origina-
tions at over-collateralization rates, which vary over
time, but are expected to be approximately 10 percent
of the net receivables balance. The securitizations will
be subject to interest rates calculated at each monthly
loan occurrence at yield rates consistent with average
rates for similar market based transactions. Consistent
with the loans already received from GE, the funding
received under this new agreement will be recorded
as secured borrowings and the associated receivables
will be included in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
GE’s commitment to fund under this new agreement
is not subject to our credit ratings. There are no credit
rating defaults that could impair future funding under
this agreement. This agreement contains cross
default provisions related to certain financial
covenants contained in the New Credit Facility and
other significant debt facilities. Any default would
impair our ability to receive subsequent funding until
the default was cured or a waiver was received. As of
December 31, 2002, we were in compliance with all
covenants and expect to be in compliance for at least
the next twelve months.

In 2002 and 2001, we received financing totaling
$1,845 million and $1,175 million, respectively, from
GE, secured by lease receivables in the U.S. Net fees
of $16 million were capitalized as debt issue costs. 
In connection with these transactions, $150 million
was required to be held in escrow, as security for our
continuing obligations under transferred contracts. 
At December 31, 2002, the remaining balance of 
$2,323 million was included as debt in our
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In May 2002, we launched the Xerox Capital

Services (“XCS”) venture with GE, under which XCS
now manages our customer administration and leas-
ing activities in the U.S., including various financing
programs, credit approval, order processing, billing
and collections. We account for XCS as a consolidated
entity since we are responsible to fund all of its opera-
tions, and, further, all events of termination result in
GE receiving their entire equity investment, with total
ownership reverting to us.

Summary – Financial Flexibility and Liquidity: With
$2.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand at
December 31, 2002, we believe our liquidity (including
operating and other cash flows we expect to gener-
ate) will be sufficient to meet operating cash flow
requirements as they occur and to satisfy all sched-
uled debt maturities for at least the next twelve
months. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity
going forward is highly dependent on achieving
expected operating results, including capturing the
benefits from restructuring activities, and completing
announced finance receivable securitization and other
initiatives. There is no assurance that these initiatives
will be successful. Failure to successfully complete
these initiatives could have a material adverse effect
on our liquidity, operations and financial position, and
could require us to consider further measures, includ-
ing deferring planned capital expenditures, reducing
discretionary spending, selling additional assets and,
if necessary, restructuring existing debt.

Our access to the public debt markets is expected

to be limited to the non-investment grade segment
until our debt ratings have been restored to invest-
ment grade. Specifically, until our credit ratings
improve, we will be unable to access the commercial
paper markets or obtain unsecured bank lines of cred-
it. Improvements in our credit ratings depend on (1)
our ability to demonstrate sustained profitability
growth and operating cash generation and (2) contin-
ued progress on our finance receivable securitization
initiatives. However, there is no assurance on the tim-
ing of when our ratings may be restored to invest-
ment grade by the rating agencies.

33

We intend to access the non-investment grade pub-
lic debt markets until our credit ratings are restored to
investment grade. This, together with possible oppor-
tunistic access to the equity or equity-linked markets,
can provide significant sources of additional funds
until full access to the public debt markets is restored.

Contractual Cash Obligations and Other Commercial
Commitments and Contingencies: At December 31,
2002, we had the following contractual cash obliga-
tions and other commercial commitments and contin-

Cumulative Preferred Securities: As of December 31,
2002, we have four series of outstanding preferred
securities as summarized below. The redemption
requirements and the annual cumulative dividend
requirements on our outstanding preferred stock are
as follows:

• Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“ESOP

Shares”): The balance at December 31, 2002 was
$508 million, net of deferred ESOP benefits, and is
redeemable in shares of common stock or cash, at
our option, as employees with vested shares leave
the Company. Annual cumulative dividend require-
ments are $6.25 per share. Dividends declared but
not yet paid amounted to $11 million at December
31, 2002. At December 31, 2002, we had 7,023,437
shares issued and outstanding.

• 7.5 percent Convertible Trust Preferred Securities:
The balance at December 31, 2002 was $1,016 mil-
lion, and is putable in 2004 in cash or in shares of
common stock at a redemption value of $1,035 mil-
lion at the holders’ option. Annual cumulative 
distribution requirements of approximately 

34

$78 million are $3.75 per Preferred Security on 
20.7 million securities. The first three years’ 
dividend requirements were funded at issuance
and are invested in U.S. Treasury securities held 
by a separate trust. As of December 31, 2002, 
$151 million of the original $229 million remained
in the trust.

• 8 percent Convertible Trust Preferred Securities:
The balance at December 31, 2002 was $640 mil-
lion, and is redeemable in 2027 at a redemption
value of $650 million. Annual cumulative dividend
requirements are $80 per security on 650,000 secu-
rities or $52 million per year.

• Canadian Deferred Preferred Stock: The balance at

December 31, 2002 was $45 million, and is
redeemable in 2006. Annual cumulative non-cash
dividend requirements will increase this amount 
to its 2006 redemption value of approximately 
$56 million.

Other Commercial Commitments and Contingencies:

Flextronics: As previously discussed, in 2001 we 
outsourced certain manufacturing activities to
Flextronics under a five-year agreement. During 2002,
we purchased approximately $1 billion of inventory
from Flextronics. We anticipate that we will purchase
approximately $900 million of inventory from
Flextronics during 2003 and expect to increase this
level commensurate with our sales in the future.

Fuji Xerox: We had product purchases from Fuji
Xerox totaling $727 million, $598 million, and 
$812 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Our 
purchase commitments with Fuji Xerox are in the 
normal course of business and typically have a lead
time of three months. We anticipate that we will 
purchase approximately $700 million of products
from Fuji Xerox in 2003.

Other Purchase Commitments: We enter into other
purchase commitments with vendors in the ordinary
course of business. Our policy with respect to all 
purchase commitments is to record losses, if any,
when they are probable and reasonably estimable.
We currently do not have, nor do we anticipate, 
material loss contracts.

EDS Contract: We have an information management
contract with Electronic Data Systems Corp. (“EDS”)
to provide services to us for global mainframe system
processing, application maintenance and enhance-
ments, desktop services and help desk support, voice
and data network management, and server manage-
ment. In 2001, we extended the original ten-year con-
tract through June 30, 2009. Although there are no
minimum payments required under the contract, we
anticipate making the following payments to EDS

over the next five years (in millions): 2003 – $331;
2004 – $320; 2005 – $311; 2006 – $299; 2007 – $288.
The estimated payments are the result of an EDS and
Xerox Global Demand Case process that has been in
place for eight years. Twice a year, using this estimat-
ing process based on historical activity, the parties
agree on a projected volume of services to be provid-
ed under each major element of the contract. Pricing
for the base services (which are comprised of global
mainframe system processing, application mainte-
nance and enhancements, desktop services and help
desk support, voice and data management) were
established when the contract was signed in 1994
based on our actual costs in preceding years. The
pricing was modified through comparisons to indus-
try benchmarks and through negotiations in subse-
quent amendments. Prices and services for the period
July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2009 are currently being
negotiated and should be finalized by December 31,
2003. As such, the amounts above are subject to
change. We can terminate the contract with six
months notice, as defined in the contract, with no ter-
mination fee. We have an option to purchase the
assets placed in service under the EDS contract,
should we elect to terminate such contract and either
operate those assets ourselves or enter a separate
contract with a similar service provider.

Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans:
We sponsor pension and other post-retirement bene-
fit plans. As discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, our collective pension plans
were underfunded by $2.0 billion at December 31,
2002. Our post-retirement plan, which is a non-funded
plan, had a benefit obligation of $1.6 billion at
December 31, 2002. Our 2002 cash outlays for these
plans were $138 million for pensions and $102 million
for other post-retirement plans. Our anticipated cash
outlays for 2003 are $170 million for pensions and
$115 million for other post-retirement plans.

Other Funding Arrangements:

Special Purpose Entities: From time to time, we have
generated liquidity by selling or securitizing portions
of our finance and accounts receivable portfolios. We
have typically utilized qualified special-purpose enti-
ties (“SPEs”) in order to implement these transactions
in a manner that isolates, for the benefit of the securi-
tization investors, the securitized receivables from our
other assets which would otherwise be available to
our creditors. These transactions are typically credit-
enhanced through over-collateralization. Such use of

SPEs is standard industry practice, is typically
required by securitization investors and makes the
securitizations easier to market. None of our officers,
directors or employees or those of any of our sub-
sidiaries or affiliates hold any direct or indirect owner-
ship interests in, or derive personal benefits from, any
of these SPEs. We typically act as service agent and
collect the securitized receivables on behalf of the
securitization investors. Under certain circumstances,
we can be terminated as servicing agent, in which
event the SPEs may engage another servicing agent
and we would cease to receive a servicing fee,
although no such circumstances have occurred to
date. We are not liable for non-collection of securi-
tized receivables, or otherwise required to make pay-
ments to the SPEs except to the limited extent that the
securitized receivables did not meet specified eligibili-
ty criteria at the time we sold the receivables to the
SPEs or we fail to observe agreed upon credit and col-
lection policies and procedures.

Substantially all of our SPE transactions were

accounted for as borrowings, with the debt and relat-
ed assets remaining on our balance sheets.
Specifically, in addition to the U.S. and Canadian
loans from GE and the ML loan in France discussed
above, which utilized SPEs as part of their structures,
we have entered into the following similar transactions:

•

•

In 2000 through 2002, Xerox Corporation and
Xerox Canada Limited (“XCL”) operated securitiza-
tion facilities that engaged in continuous sales of
certain accounts receivable in the U.S. and Canada.
The facility allowed up to $315 million and $38 mil-
lion, respectively, of receivables to be outstanding
to investors in the facility. As these receivables
were collected, new receivables were purchased. In
May 2002, a Moody’s downgrade constituted an
event of termination under the U.S. agreement,
which we allowed to terminate in October 2002. In
February 2002, a downgrade of our Canadian debt
by Dominion Bond Rating Service caused the event
of termination, in turn causing the remaining
Canadian facility to no longer purchase receivables,
with collections used to repay previously repur-
chased receivables. This facility was fully repaid in
2002.
In 1999, XCL securitized certain finance receivables,
generating gross proceeds of $345 million. At
December 31, 2002, approximately $30 million was
outstanding.

In summary, at December 31, 2002, amounts owed

by these receivable-related SPEs to their investors
totaled $3,195 million, $3,165 million of which is
reported as debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. A
detailed description of these transactions is included

35

in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We also utilized SPEs in our Trust Preferred Securities
transactions. Refer to Note 16 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for a description of the Trust
Preferred Securities transactions.

Financial Risk Management:

We are exposed to market risk from changes in for-
eign currency exchange rates and interest rates that
could affect our results of operations and financial
condition. Our current below investment-grade credit
ratings effectively constrain our ability to fully use
derivative contracts as part of our risk management
strategy described below, especially with respect to
interest rate management. Accordingly, our results of
operations are exposed to increased volatility. As fur-
ther discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, we adopted SFAS No. 133 as of January
1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 has increased
the volatility of reported earnings and other compre-
hensive income. In general, the amount of volatility
will vary with the level of derivative and hedging
activities and the market volatility during any period.
We have historically entered into certain derivative

contracts, including interest rate swap agreements,
foreign currency swap agreements, forward exchange
contracts and purchased foreign currency options, to
manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures.
The fair market values of all our derivative contracts
change with fluctuations in interest rates and/or cur-
rency rates and are designed so that any change in
their values is offset by changes in the values of the
underlying exposures. Our derivative instruments are
held solely to hedge economic exposures; we do not
enter into derivative instrument transactions for trad-
ing or other speculative purposes and we employ
long-standing policies prescribing that derivative
instruments are only to be used to achieve a very lim-
ited set of objectives.

Our primary foreign currency market exposures
include the Japanese Yen, Euro, Brazilian Real, British
Pound Sterling and Canadian Dollar. Historically, for
each of our legal entities, we have generally hedged
foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities,
primarily through the use of derivative contracts.
Despite our current credit ratings, we have been able
to restore significant hedging activities with currency-
related derivative contracts during 2002. Although we

are still unable to hedge all our currency exposures,
we are currently utilizing the re-established capacity
primarily to hedge currency exposures related to our
foreign-currency denominated debt.

We typically enter into simple unleveraged deriva-
tive transactions. Our policy is to use only counterpar-
ties with an investment-grade or better rating and to
monitor market risk and exposure for each counter-
party. We also utilize arrangements allowing us to net
gains and losses on separate contracts with all coun-
terparties to further mitigate the credit risk associated
with our financial instruments. Based upon our ongo-
ing evaluation of the replacement cost of our deriva-
tive transactions and counterparty credit-worthiness,
we consider the risk of a material default by a counter-
party to be remote.

Due to our credit ratings, many of our derivative

contracts and several other material contracts at
December 31, 2002 require us to post cash collateral
or maintain minimum cash balances in escrow. These
cash amounts are reported in our Consolidated
Balance Sheets within Other current assets or other
long-term assets, depending on when the cash will be
contractually released. Such restricted cash amounts
totaled $77 million at December 31, 2002.

Assuming a 10 percent appreciation or deprecia-
tion in foreign currency exchange rates from the quot-
ed foreign currency exchange rates at December 31,
2002, the potential change in the fair value of foreign
currency-denominated assets and liabilities in each
entity would be insignificant because all material cur-
rency asset and liability exposures were hedged as of
December 31, 2002. A 10 percent appreciation or
depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against all currencies
from the quoted foreign currency exchange rates at
December 31, 2002, would have a $349 million impact
on our Cumulative Translation Adjustment portion of
equity. The amount permanently invested in foreign
subsidiaries and affiliates – primarily Xerox Limited,
Fuji Xerox and Xerox do Brasil – and translated into
dollars using the year-end exchange rates, was 
$3.5 billion at December 31, 2002, net of foreign cur-
rency-denominated liabilities designated as a hedge
of our net investment.

36

We anticipate continued volatility in our results of

operations due to market changes in interest rates
and foreign currency rates which we are currently
unable to hedge.

Forward-Looking Cautionary
Statements:

This Annual Report contains forward-looking state-
ments and information relating to Xerox that are
based on our beliefs, as well as assumptions made by
and information currently available to us. The words
“anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,”
“intend,” “will” and similar expressions, as they
relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Actual results could differ materially from
those projected in such forward-looking statements.
Information concerning certain factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially is included in
our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
SEC. We do not intend to update these forward-
looking statements.

Interest Rate Risk Management: Virtually all cus-
tomer-financing assets earn fixed rates of interest,
while a significant portion of our debt bears interest at
variable rates. Historically we have attempted to man-
age our interest rate risk by “match-funding” the
financing assets and related debt, including through
the use of interest rate swap agreements. However, as
our credit ratings declined, our ability to continue this
practice became constrained.

At December 31, 2002, we had $7 billion of variable
rate debt, including the $3.5 billion outstanding under
the New Credit Facility and the notional value of our
pay-variable interest-rate swaps. The notional value
of our offsetting pay-fixed interest-rate swaps was
$1.2 billion.

Our loans related to vendor financing, from parties

including GE, are secured by customer-financing
assets and are designed to mature ratably with our
collection of principal payments on the financing
assets which secure them. The interest rates on those
loans are fixed. As a result, the vendor financing loan
programs create natural match-funding of the financ-
ing assets to the related debt. As we implement addi-
tional finance receivable securitizations and continue
to repay existing debt, the portion of our financing
assets which is match-funded against related secured
debt will increase. On a consolidated basis, including
the impact of our hedging activities, weighted-aver-
age interest rates for 2002, 2001 and 2000 approximat-
ed 5.0 percent, 5.5 percent and 6.2 percent,
respectively.

Many of the financial instruments we use are sensi-
tive to changes in interest rates. Interest rate changes
result in fair value gains or losses on our term debt
and interest rate swaps, due to differences between
current market interest rates and the stated interest
rates within the instrument. The loss in fair value at
December 31, 2002, from a 10 percent change in mar-
ket interest rates would be approximately $201 mil-
lion for our interest rate sensitive financial
instruments. Our currency and interest rate hedging
are typically unaffected by changes in market condi-
tions as forward contracts, options and swaps are
normally held to maturity consistent with our objec-
tive to lock in currency rates and interest rate spreads
on the underlying transactions.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions, except per-share data and unless otherwise indicated)

Note 1 — Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies 

References herein to “we,” “us” or “our” refer to
Xerox Corporation and its subsidiaries unless the con-
text specifically requires otherwise.

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation: We
are The Document Company®, and a leader in the global
document market, developing, manufacturing, market-
ing, servicing and financing a complete range of docu-
ment equipment, software, solutions and services.

Liquidity, Financial Flexibility and Funding Plans: We
manage our worldwide liquidity using internal cash
management practices, which are subject to (1) the
statutes, regulations and practices of each of the local
jurisdictions in which we operate, (2) the legal
requirements of the agreements to which we are par-
ties and (3) the policies and cooperation of the finan-
cial institutions we utilize to maintain such cash
management practices. In 2000, our operational
issues were exacerbated by significant competitive
and industry changes, adverse economic conditions,
and significant technology and acquisition spending.
Together, these conditions negatively impacted our
liquidity, which from 2000 to 2002 led to a series of
credit rating downgrades, eventually to below invest-
ment grade. Consequently, our access to capital 
and derivative markets has been restricted. The down-
grades also required us to cash-collateralize certain
derivative and securitization arrangements to prevent
them from terminating, and to immediately settle ter-
minating derivative contracts. Further, we are required
to maintain minimum cash balances in escrow on 
certain borrowings and letters of credit. In addition, as
discussed in Note 15, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) would not allow us to publicly
register any securities offerings while its investigation,
which commenced in June 2000, was ongoing. This
additional constraint essentially prevented us from
raising funds from sources other than unregistered
capital markets offerings and private lending or equity
sources. Consequently, our credit ratings, which were
already under pressure, came under greater pressure
since credit rating agencies often include access to 
capital sources in their rating criteria.

While the conclusion of the SEC investigation in
2002 removed our previous inability to access public
capital markets, we expect our ability to access unse-
cured credit sources to remain restricted as long as
our credit ratings remain below investment grade,
and we expect our incremental cost of borrowing to
increase as a result of such credit ratings.

42

In June 2002, we entered into an Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Facility”)
with a group of lenders, replacing our prior $7 billion
facility (the “Old Revolver”). At that time, we perma-
nently repaid $2.8 billion of the Old Revolver and 
subsequently paid $710 million on the New Credit
Facility. At December 31, 2002, the New Credit Facility
consisted of two tranches of term loans totaling $2.0
billion and a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility that
includes a $200 letter of credit subfacility. At December
31, 2002, $3.5 billion was outstanding under the New
Credit Facility. At December 31, 2002 we had no addi-
tional borrowing capacity under the New Credit Facility
since the entire revolving facility was outstanding,
including a $10 letter of credit under the subfacility.
The New Credit Facility contains affirmative and
negative covenants. The New Credit Facility contains
financial covenants that the Old Revolver did not con-
tain. Certain of the more significant covenants under
the New Credit Facility are summarized below (this
summary is not complete and is in all respects subject
to the actual provisions of the New Credit Facility):
• Excess cash of certain foreign subsidiaries and of

Xerox Credit Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary, must be transferred to Xerox at the end
of each fiscal quarter; for this purpose, “excess
cash” generally means cash maintained by certain
foreign subsidiaries taken as a whole in excess of
their aggregate working capital and other needs in
the ordinary course of business (net of sources of
funds from third parties), including reasonably antic-
ipated needs for repaying debt and other obligations
and making investments in their businesses. In cer-
tain circumstances, we are not required to transfer
cash to Xerox Corporation, the parent company, if
the transfer cannot be made in a tax efficient manner
or if it would be considered a breach of fiduciary
duty by the directors of the foreign subsidiary;
• Minimum EBITDA (a quarterly test that is based on

rolling four quarters) ranging from $1.0 to $1.3 billion;
for this purpose, “EBITDA” (Earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization) generally
means EBITDA (excluding interest and financing
income to the extent included in consolidated net
income), less any amounts spent for software devel-
opment that are capitalized;

• Maximum leverage ratio (a quarterly test that is cal-
culated as total adjusted debt divided by EBITDA)
ranging from 4.3 to 6.0;

• Maximum capital expenditures (annual test) of $330
per fiscal year plus up to $75 of any unused amount
carried over from the previous year; for this purpose,
“capital expenditures” generally mean the amounts
included on our Statement of Cash Flows as “addi-

tions to land, buildings and equipment,” plus any
capital lease obligations incurred;

• Minimum consolidated net worth ranging from 

$2.9 billion to $3.1 billion; for this purpose, “consoli-
dated net worth” generally means the sum of the
amounts included on our balance sheet as
“Common shareholders’ equity,” “Preferred stock,”
“Company-obligated, mandatorily redeemable pre-
ferred securities of subsidiary trust holding solely
subordinated debentures of the Company,” except
that the currency translation adjustment effects and
the effects of compliance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for
Derivatives and Hedging” (“SFAS No.133”) occur-
ring after December 31, 2001 are disregarded, the
preferred securities (whether or not convertible)
issued by us or by our subsidiaries which were out-
standing on June 21, 2002 will always be included,
and any capital stock or similar equity interest issued
after June 21, 2002 which matures or generally
becomes mandatorily redeemable for cash or put-
table at holders’ option prior to November 1, 2005 is
always excluded; and

• Limitations on: (i) issuance of debt and preferred

stock; (ii) creation of liens; (iii) certain fundamental
changes to corporate structure and nature of busi-
ness, including mergers; (iv) investments and acqui-
sitions; (v) asset transfers; (vi) hedging transactions
other than those in the ordinary course of business
and certain types of synthetic equity or debt deriva-
tives, and (vii) certain types of restricted payments
relating to our, or our subsidiaries’, equity interests,
including payment of cash dividends on our
common stock; (viii) certain types of early retirement
of debt, and (ix) certain transactions with affiliates,
including intercompany loans and asset transfers.

The New Credit Facility generally does not affect
our ability to continue to monetize receivables under
the agreements with General Electric (“GE”) and oth-
ers. Although we cannot pay cash dividends on our
common stock during the term of the New Credit
Facility, we can pay cash dividends on our preferred
stock, provided there is then no event of default. In
addition to other defaults customary for facilities of
this type, defaults on other debt, or bankruptcy, of
Xerox Corporation, or certain of our subsidiaries,
would constitute defaults under the New Credit
Facility.

At December 31, 2002, we are in compliance with
all aspects of the New Credit Facility including finan-
cial covenants and expect to be in compliance for at
least the next twelve months. Failure to be in compli-
ance with any material provision or covenant of the
New Credit Facility could have a material adverse
effect on our liquidity and operations.

The New Credit Facility generally does not affect
our ability to continue to securitize receivables under

the agreements we have with GE and others, as
discussed further in Note 5. Although we cannot pay
cash dividends on our common stock during the term
of the New Credit Facility, we can pay cash dividends
on our preferred stock, provided there is then no event
of default. In addition to other defaults customary for
facilities of this type, defaults on our other debt, or
bankruptcy, or certain of our subsidiaries, would consti-
tute defaults under the New Credit Facility.

At December 31, 2002, we are in compliance with
all aspects of the New Credit Facility including finan-
cial covenants and expect to be in compliance for at
least the next twelve months. Failure to be in compli-
ance with any material provision or covenant of the
New Credit Facility could have a material adverse
effect on our liquidity and operations.

With $2.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents on
hand at December 31, 2002, we believe our liquidity
(including operating and other cash flows we expect
to generate) will be sufficient to meet operating cash
flow requirements as they occur and to satisfy all
scheduled debt maturities for at least the next twelve
months. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity
going forward is highly dependent on achieving
expected operating results, including capturing the
benefits from restructuring activities, and completing
announced finance receivables securitizations. There
is no assurance that these initiatives will be success-
ful. Failure to successfully complete these initiatives
could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity
and our operations, and could require us to consider
further measures, including deferring planned capital
expenditures, reducing discretionary spending, sell-
ing additional assets and, if necessary, restructuring
existing debt.

We also expect that our ability to fully access com-
mercial paper and other unsecured public debt mar-
kets will depend upon improvements in our credit
ratings, which in turn depend on our ability to demon-
strate sustained profitability growth and operating
cash generation and continued progress on our ven-
dor financing initiatives. Until such time, we expect
some bank credit lines to continue to be unavailable,
and we intend to access other segments of the capital
markets as business conditions allow, which could
provide significant sources of additional funds until
full access to the unsecured public debt markets is
restored.

Basis of Consolidation: The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Xerox Corporation
and all of our controlled subsidiary companies. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated. Investments in business enti-
ties in which we do not have control, but we have the
ability to exercise significant influence over operating
and financial policies (generally 20 to 50 percent own-
ership), are accounted for using the equity method of

43

accounting. Upon the sale of stock of a subsidiary, 
we recognize a gain or loss in our Consolidated
Statements of Income equal to our proportionate
share of the corresponding increase or decrease in
that subsidiary’s equity. Operating results of acquired
businesses are included in the Consolidated
Statements of Income from the date of acquisition.
For further discussion of acquisitions, refer to Note 3.
Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts 

have been made to conform to the current year 
presentation. 

Income (Loss) before Income Taxes (Benefits), Equity
Income, Minorities’ Interests and Cumulative Effect of
Change in Accounting Principle: Throughout the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we
refer to the effects of certain changes in estimates and
other adjustments on Income (Loss) before Income
Taxes (Benefits), Equity Income, Minorities’ Interests
and Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting
Principle. For convenience and ease of reference, that
caption in our Consolidated Statements of Income is
hereafter referred to as “pre-tax income (loss).”

Use of Estimates: The preparation of our consolidated
financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires that we make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of con-
tingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Significant
estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limit-
ed to: (i) allocation of revenues and fair values in mul-
tiple element arrangements; (ii) accounting for
residual values; (iii) economic lives of leased assets;
(iv) allowance for doubtful accounts; (v) retained inter-
ests associated with the sales of accounts or finance
receivables; (vi) inventory valuation; (vii) restructuring
and other related charges; (viii) asset impairments;
(ix) depreciable lives of assets; (x) useful lives of
intangible assets and goodwill (in 2002 goodwill is no
longer amortized over an estimated useful life, see
below for further discussion); (xi) pension and post-
retirement benefit plans; (xii) income tax valuation
allowances and (xiii) contingency and litigation
reserves. Future events and their effects cannot be
predicted with certainty; accordingly, our accounting
estimates require the exercise of judgment. The
accounting estimates used in the preparation of our
consolidated financial statements will change as new
events occur, as more experience is acquired, as addi-
tional information is obtained and as our operating
environment changes. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

Changes in Estimates: In the ordinary course of
accounting for items discussed above, we make
changes in estimates as appropriate, and as we
become aware of circumstances surrounding those
estimates. Such changes and refinements in estima-
tion methodologies are reflected in reported results 
of operations in the period in which the changes are
made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes:

Variable Interest Entities: In January 2003, the FASB
issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB 51”
(“FIN 46”). The primary objectives of FIN 46 are to
provide guidance on the identification of entities for
which control is achieved through means other than
through voting rights (“VIEs”) and how to determine
when and which business enterprise should consoli-
date the VIE. This new model for consolidation
applies to an entity which either (1) the equity
investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial
interest or (2) the equity investment at risk is
insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without
receiving additional subordinated financial support
from other parties. We do not expect the adoption of
this standard to have any impact on our results of
operations, financial position or liquidity.

Guarantees: In November 2002, the FASB issued
Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN

45”). This interpretation expands the disclosure
requirements of guarantee obligations and requires the
guarantor to recognize a liability for the fair value of the
obligation assumed under a guarantee. In general, FIN
45 applies to contracts or indemnification agreements
that contingently require the guarantor to make pay-
ments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an
underlying instrument that is related to an asset, liabili-
ty, or equity security of the guaranteed party. Other
guarantees are subject to the disclosure requirements
of FIN 45 but not to the recognition provisions and
include, among others, a guarantee accounted for as 
a derivative instrument under SFAS 133, a parent’s
guarantee of debt owed to a third party by its
subsidiary or vice versa, and a guarantee which is
based on performance. The disclosure requirements of
FIN 45 are effective as of December 31, 2002, and
require information as to the nature of the guarantee,
the maximum potential amount of future payments
that the guarantor could be required to make under the
guarantee, and the current amount of the liability, if
any, for the guarantor’s obligations under the guaran-
tee. The recognition requirements of FIN 45 are to be
applied prospectively to guarantees issued or modified
after December 31, 2002. Significant guarantees that
we have entered are disclosed in Note 15. We do not
expect the requirements of FIN 45 to have a material
impact on our results of operations, financial position
or liquidity.

Stock-Based Compensation: In 2002, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -
Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 123” (“SFAS No. 148”) which provides
alternative methods of transition for an entity that vol-
untarily changes to the fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It
also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123
to require prominent disclosure about the effects on
reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy
decisions with respect to stock-based employee com-
pensation. Finally, this Statement amends APB Opinion
No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require disclo-
sure about those effects in interim financial informa-
tion. We adopted SFAS No. 148 in the fourth quarter of
2002. Since we have not changed to a fair value
method of stock-based compensation, the applicable
portion of this statement only affects our disclosures.
We do not recognize compensation expense relat-
ing to employee stock options because we only grant
options with an exercise price equal to the fair value
of the stock on the effective date of grant. If we had
elected to recognize compensation expense using a
fair value approach, and therefore determined the
compensation based on the value as determined by
the modified Black-Scholes option pricing model, the 

pro forma net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per
share would have been as follows:

Net income (loss) – as reported
Deduct: Total stock-based 

employee compensation 
expense determined under 
fair value based method 
for all awards, net of tax 

Net income (loss) – pro forma

Basic EPS – as reported
Basic EPS – pro forma
Diluted EPS – as reported 
Diluted EPS – pro forma

respectively. The fair value of each option was

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities: In
2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 146, “Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS No.
146”). This standard requires companies to recognize
costs associated with exit or disposal activities when
they are incurred, rather than at the date of a commit-
ment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs 
covered by the standard include lease termination
costs and certain employee severance costs that are
associated with a restructuring, plant closing, or other
exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 is required to be
applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initi-
ated after December 31, 2002, with earlier application
encouraged. We adopted SFAS No. 146 in the fourth
quarter of 2002. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion.

Gains from Extinguishment of Debt: On April 1, 2002,
we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 145, “Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” (“SFAS
No. 145”). The portion of SFAS No. 145 that is applica-
ble to us resulted in the reclassification of extraordi-
nary gains on extinguishment of debt previously
reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income 
as extraordinary items to Other expenses, net. The
effect of this reclassification in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Income was a decrease 

45

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets: In 2001,
the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”).
SFAS No. 144 retains the previously existing account-
ing requirements related to the recognition and meas-
urement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be
held and used, while expanding the measurement
requirements of long-lived assets to be disposed of 
by sale to include discontinued operations. It also
expands on the previously existing reporting require-
ments for discontinued operations to include a 
component of an entity that either has been disposed
of or is classified as held for sale. We adopted SFAS
No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this stan-
dard did not have a material effect on our financial
position or results of operations.

Asset Retirement Obligations: In 2001, the FASB
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations” (“SFAS No. 143”). This statement
addresses financial accounting and reporting for obli-
gations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets and associated asset retirement
costs. We will adopt SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003
and do not expect this standard to have any effect on
our financial position or results of operations.

Business Combinations: In 2001, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141,
“Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141”), which
requires the use of the purchase method of account-
ing for business combinations and prohibits the use
of the pooling of interests method. We have not his-
torically engaged in transactions that qualify for the
use of the pooling of interests method and therefore,
this aspect of the new standard will not have an
impact on our financial results. SFAS No. 141 also
changes the definition of intangible assets acquired in
a purchase business combination, providing specific
criteria for the initial recognition and measurement of
intangible assets apart from goodwill. As a result, the
purchase price allocation of future business combina-
tions may be different than the allocation that would
have resulted under the previous rules. SFAS No. 141
also requires that upon adoption of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”), we
reclassify the carrying amounts of certain intangible
assets into or out of goodwill, based on certain crite-
ria. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, we reclassified
$61 of intangible assets related to acquired workforce
to goodwill that was required by this standard.

46

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill repre-
sents the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the
fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible net
assets purchased, and prior to 2002 was amortized on
a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 5 to 40
years. Other intangible assets represent the fair value
of identifiable intangible assets acquired in purchase
business combinations and include an acquired cus-
tomer base, distribution network, technology and
trademarks. Intangible assets are amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods ranging from 7 to 25
years. We adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002
and as a result, goodwill is no longer amortized.

SFAS No. 142 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible
assets subsequent to their initial recognition. This
statement recognizes that goodwill has an indefinite
life and will no longer be subject to periodic amortiza-
tion. However, goodwill is to be tested at least annual-
ly for impairment, using a fair value methodology, in
lieu of amortization. The provisions of this standard
also required that amortization of goodwill related to
equity investments be discontinued, and that these
goodwill amounts continue to be evaluated for
impairment in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 18 “The Equity Method of
Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.”

SFAS No. 142 also requires performance of annual
and transitional impairment tests on goodwill using a
two-step approach. The first step is to identify a poten-
tial impairment and the second step is to measure the
amount of any impairment loss. The first step requires
a comparison of the carrying value of reporting units,
as defined, to the fair value of these units. The
standard requires that if a reporting unit’s fair value is
below its carrying value, a potential goodwill impair-
ment exists and we would be required to complete the
second step of the transitional impairment test to
quantify the amount of the potential goodwill impair-
ment charge. Based on the results of the first step 
of the transitional impairment test, we identified
potential goodwill impairments in the reporting units
included in our Developing Markets Operations
(“DMO”) operating segment. We subsequently com-
pleted the second step of the transitional goodwill
impairment test, which required us to estimate the
implied fair value of goodwill for each DMO reporting
unit by allocating the fair value of each reporting unit
to all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities. The
fair value of the reporting units giving rise to the tran-
sitional impairment loss was estimated using the 
present value of future expected cash flows. Because
the carrying amount of each reporting unit’s assets
and liabilities (excluding goodwill) exceeded the fair 
value of each reporting unit, we recorded a goodwill
impairment charge of $63. This non-cash charge 
was recorded as a cumulative effect of change in 

accounting principle, in the accompanying Consoli-
dated Statements of Income, as of January 1, 2002.

The following tables illustrate the pro forma impact
of the adoption of SFAS No. 142. Net Loss for the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, as adjusted for the

these intangible assets is expected to remain approxi-
mately $36 annually through 2007.

Derivatives and Hedging: Effective January 1, 2001, we
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards,
No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), which requires
companies to recognize all derivatives as assets or lia-
bilities measured at their fair value, regardless of the
purpose or intent of holding them. Gains or losses
resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives
are recorded each period in current earnings or other
comprehensive income, depending on whether a deriv-
ative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and,
if it is, depending on the type of hedge transaction.
Changes in fair value for derivatives not designated as
hedging instruments and the ineffective portions of
hedges are recognized in earnings in the current peri-
od. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 resulted in a net
cumulative after-tax loss of $2 in the accompanying
Consolidated Statement of Income and a net cumula-
tive after-tax loss of $19 in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income which is included in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. Further, as
a result of recognizing all derivatives at fair value,
including the differences between the carrying values
and fair values of related hedged assets, liabilities and
firm commitments, we recognized a $361 increase in
assets and a $382 increase in liabilities. Refer to Note
12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion.

Revenue Recognition: In the normal course of busi-
ness, we generate revenue through the sale and
rental of equipment, service, and supplies and income
associated with the financing of our equipment 
sales. Revenue is recognized when earned. More
specifically, revenue related to sales of our products
and services is recognized as follows:

Equipment: Revenues from the sale of equipment,
including those from sales-type leases, are recognized
at the time of sale or at the inception of the lease, as
appropriate. For equipment sales that require us to

47

install the product at the customer location, revenue 
is recognized when the equipment has been delivered
to and installed at the customer location. Sales of cus-
tomer installable and retail products are recognized
upon shipment or receipt by the customer according to
the customer’s shipping terms. Revenues from equip-
ment under other leases and similar arrangements are
accounted for by the operating lease method and are
recognized as earned over the lease term, which is gen-
erally on a straight-line basis.

Service: Service revenues are derived primarily from
maintenance contracts on our equipment sold to cus-
tomers and are recognized over the term of the con-
tracts. A substantial portion of our products are sold
with full service maintenance agreements for which
the customer typically pays a base service fee plus a
variable amount based on usage. As a consequence,
we do not have any significant product warranty obli-
gations, including any obligations under customer
satisfaction programs.

Supplies: Supplies revenue generally is recognized
upon shipment or utilization by customer in accord-
ance with sales terms. 

Revenue Recognition Under Bundled Arrangements:
We sell most of our products and services under bun-
dled contract arrangements, which contain multiple
deliverable elements. These contractual lease arrange-
ments typically include equipment, service, supplies
and financing components for which the customer
pays a single negotiated price for all elements. These
arrangements typically also include a variable compo-
nent for page volumes in excess of contractual mini-
mums, which are often expressed in terms of price
per page, which we refer to as the “cost per copy.” 
In a typical bundled arrangement, our customer is
quoted a fixed minimum monthly payment for (1) 
the equipment, (2) the associated services and other
executory costs and (3) the financing element. The
fixed minimum monthly payments are multiplied by
the number of months in the contract term to arrive at
the total fixed minimum payments that the customer
is obligated to make (“Fixed Payments”) over the
lease term. The payments associated with page vol-
umes in excess of the minimums are contingent on
whether or not such minimums are exceeded
(“Contingent Payments”). The minimum contractual
committed copy volumes are typically negotiated to
equal the customer’s estimated copy volume at lease
inception. In applying our lease accounting methodol-
ogy, we consider the Fixed Payments for purposes of
allocating to the fair value elements of the contract. We
do not consider the Contingent Payments for purposes
of allocating to the elements of the contract or recog-
nizing revenue on the sale of the equipment, given the
inherent uncertainties as to whether such amounts will

48

ever be received. Contingent Payments are recognized
as revenue in the period when the customer exceeds
the minimum copy volumes specified in the contract.
When separate prices are listed in multiple element
customer contracts, such prices may not be representa-
tive of the fair values of those elements, because the
prices of the different components of the arrangement
may be modified through customer negotiations,
although the aggregate consideration may remain the
same. Therefore, revenues under these arrangements
are allocated based upon estimated fair values of each
element. Our revenue allocation methodology first
begins by determining the fair value of the service
component, as well as other executory costs and any
profit thereon and second, by determining the fair
value of the equipment based on comparison of the
equipment values in our accounting systems to a range
of cash selling prices or, if applicable, other verifiable
objective evidence of fair value. We perform extensive
analyses of available verifiable objective evidence of
equipment fair value based on cash selling prices dur-
ing the applicable period. The cash selling prices are
compared to the range of values included in our lease
accounting systems. The range of cash selling prices
must support the reasonableness of the lease selling
prices, taking into account residual values that accrue
to our benefit, in order for us to determine that such
lease prices are indicative of fair value. Our interest
rates are developed based upon a variety of factors
including local prevailing rates in the marketplace and
the customer’s credit history, industry and credit class.
These rates are recorded within our pricing systems.
The resultant implicit interest rate, which is the same 
as our pricing interest rate, unless adjustment to equip-
ment values is required, is then compared to fair 
market value rates to assess the reasonableness of the
fair value allocations to the multiple elements.

Determination of Appropriate Revenue Recognition
for Leases: Our accounting for leases involves spe-
cific determinations under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 13 “Accounting for
Leases” (“SFAS No. 13”) which often involve com-
plex provisions and significant judgments. The two
primary criteria of SFAS No. 13 which we use to clas-
sify transactions as sales-type or operating leases 
are (1) a review of the lease term to determine if it is
equal to or greater than 75 percent of the economic
life of the equipment and (2) a review of the minimum
lease payments to determine if they are equal to or
greater than 90 percent of the fair market value of the
equipment. Under our current product portfolio and
business strategies, a non-cancelable lease of 45
months or more generally qualifies as a sale. Certain
of our lease contracts are customized for larger cus-
tomers, which results in complex terms and
conditions and requires significant judgment in apply-
ing the above criteria. In addition to these, there are

also other important criteria that are required to be
assessed, including whether collectibility of the lease
payments is reasonably predictable and whether
there are important uncertainties related to costs that
we have yet to incur with respect to the lease. In our
opinion, our sales-type lease portfolios contain only
normal credit and collection risks and have no impor-
tant uncertainties with respect to future costs. Our
leases in our Latin America operations have historical-
ly been recorded as operating leases since a majority
of these leases are terminated significantly prior to
the expiration of the contractual lease term. Specific-
ally, because we generally do not collect the receiv-
able from the initial transaction upon termination 
or during any subsequent lease term, the recover-
ability of the lease investment is deemed not to be
predictable at lease inception. We continue to evalu-
ate economic, business and political conditions in the
Latin American region to determine if certain leases
will qualify as sales-type leases in future periods.

The critical estimates and judgments that we consid-

er with respect to our lease accounting are the deter-
mination of the economic life and the fair value 
of equipment, including the residual value. Those esti-
mates are based upon historical experience with all our
products. For purposes of estimating the economic life,
we consider the most objective measure of historical
experience to be the original contract term, since most
equipment is returned by lessees at or near the end of
the contracted term. The estimated economic life of
most of our products is five years since this represents
the most frequent contractual lease term for our princi-
pal products and only a small percentage of our leases
have original terms longer than five years. We believe
that this is representative of the period during which
the equipment is expected to be economically usable,
with normal service, for the purpose for which it is
intended. We continually evaluate the economic life of
both existing and newly introduced products for pur-
poses of this determination. Residual values are estab-
lished at lease inception using estimates of fair value at
the end of the lease term. Our residual values are
established with due consideration to forecasted sup-
ply and demand for our various products, product
retirement and future product launch plans, end of
lease customer behavior, remanufacturing strategies,
used equipment markets if any, competition and tech-
nological changes.

The vast majority of our leases that qualify as
sales-type are non-cancelable and include cancella-
tion penalties approximately equal to the full value of
the leased equipment. Certain of our governmental
contracts may have cancellation provisions or renew-
al clauses that are required by law, such as (1) those
dependant on fiscal funding outside of a governmen-
tal unit’s control, (2) those that can be cancelled if
deemed in the taxpayer’s best interest or (3) those
that must be renewed each fiscal year, given limita-

tions that may exist on entering multi-year contracts
that are imposed by statute. In these circumstances
and in accordance with the relevant accounting litera-
ture, we carefully evaluate these contracts to assess
whether cancellation is remote or the renewal option
is reasonably assured of exercise because of the 
existence of substantive economic penalties for the
customer’s failure to renew. Certain of our commer-
cial contracts for multiple units of equipment may
include clauses that allow for a return of a limited 
portion of such equipment (up to 10 percent of the
value of equipment). These return clauses are only
available in very limited circumstances as negotiated
at lease inception. We account for our estimate of
equipment to be returned under these contracts as
operating leases.

Aside from the initial lease of equipment to our
customers, we may enter subsequent transactions
with the same customer whereby we extend the term.
We evaluate the classification of lease extensions of
sales-type leases using the originally determined eco-
nomic life for each product. There may be instances
where we have lease extensions for periods that are
within the original economic life of the equipment.
These are accounted for as sales-type leases only
when the extensions occur in the last three months of
the lease term and they otherwise meet the appropri-
ate criteria of SFAS No. 13. All other lease extensions
of this type are accounted for as direct financing leas-
es. We generally account for lease extensions that go
beyond the economic life as operating leases because
of important uncertainties as to the amount of servic-
ing and repair costs that we may incur.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash
equivalents consist of cash on hand and investments
with original maturities of three months or less.

Restricted Cash and Investments: Due to our credit
ratings, many of our derivative contracts and several
other material contracts require us to post cash collat-
eral or maintain minimum cash balances in escrow.
These cash amounts are reported in our Consolidated
Balance Sheets within Other current assets or Other
long-term assets, depending on when the cash will be
contractually released. At December 31, 2002 and
2001, such restricted cash amounts were as follows:

ed in Other long-term assets, as of December 31, 2002
and 2001, respectively. The current amounts are
expected to be available for our use within one year.
The total increase in restricted cash during 2002 of
$92 is included in the Consolidated Statement of 
Cash Flows as a use of cash of $104 in other, net of
Operating Activities and a source of cash of $12 in
investing activities (of the total $41).

Securitizations and Transfers of Receivables: From 
time to time, in the normal course of business, we 
may securitize or sell finance and accounts receivable
with or without recourse and/or discounts. The receiv-
ables are removed from the Consolidated Balance
Sheet at the time they are sold and the risk of loss has
transferred to the purchaser. However, we maintain risk
of loss on our retained interest in such receivables.
Sales and transfers that do not meet the criteria for sur-
render of control or were sold to a consolidated special
purpose entity (non-qualified special purpose entity)
are accounted for as secured borrowings. When we 
sell receivables in securitizations of finance receivables
or accounts receivable, we retain servicing rights,
beneficial interests, and, in some cases, a cash reserve
account, all of which are retained interests in the securi-
tized receivables. The value assigned to the retained
interests in securitized trade receivables is based on the
relative fair values of the interest retained and sold in
the securitization. We estimate fair value based on the
present value of future expected cash flows using man-
agement’s best estimates of the key assumptions, 
consisting of receivable amounts, anticipated credit
losses and discount rates commensurate with the risks
involved. Gains or losses on the sale of the receivables
depend in part on the previous carrying amount of the
financial assets involved in the transfer, allocated
between the assets sold and the retained interests
based on their relative fair value at the date of transfer.

Provisions for Losses on Uncollectible Receivables:
The provisions for losses on uncollectible trade and
finance receivables are determined principally on the
basis of past collection experience applied to ongoing

50

evaluations of our receivables and evaluations of the
risks of repayment. Allowances for doubtful accounts
on accounts receivable balances were $282 and $306,
as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Allowances for doubtful accounts on finance receiv-
ables were $324 and $368 at December 31, 2002 and
2001, respectively.

Inventories: Inventories are carried at the lower of
average cost or realizable values.

Land, Buildings and Equipment and Equipment on
Operating Leases: Land, buildings and equipment are
recorded at cost. Buildings and equipment are depre-
ciated over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold
improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the
lease term or the estimated useful life. Equipment on
operating leases is depreciated to its estimated resid-
ual value over the term of the lease. Depreciation is
computed using principally the straight-line method.
Significant improvements are capitalized and mainte-
nance and repairs are expensed. Refer to Notes 6 and
7 for further discussion.

Internal-Use Software: We capitalize direct costs
incurred during the application development stage
and the implementation stage for developing,
purchasing or otherwise acquiring software for inter-
nal use. These costs are amortized over the estimated
useful lives of the software, generally three to five
years. All costs incurred during the preliminary proj-
ect stage, including project scoping, identification 
and testing of alternatives, are expensed as incurred.
During 2002 we wrote off $106 of permanently
impaired internal-use capitalized software. Refer to
Note 7 for further discussion.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: We review the
recoverability of our long-lived assets, including build-
ings, equipment, internal-use software and other intan-
gible assets, when events or changes in circumstances
occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset
may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible
impairment is based on our ability to recover the carry-
ing value of the asset from the expected future pre-tax
cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges)
of the related operations. If these cash flows are less
than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment
loss is recognized for the difference between estimated
fair value and carrying value. The measurement of
impairment requires management to make estimates
of these cash flows related to long-lived assets, as well
as other fair value determinations.

Research and Development Expenses: Research and
development costs are expensed as incurred.

Pension and Post-Retirement Benefit Obligations: We
sponsor pension plans in various forms and in vari-
ous countries covering substantially all employees
who meet certain eligibility requirements. Post-retire-
ment benefit plans cover primarily U.S. employees for
retirement medical costs. As required by existing
accounting rules, we employ a delayed recognition
feature in measuring the costs and obligations of pen-
sion and post-retirement benefit plans. This allows for
changes in the benefit obligations and changes in the
value of assets set aside to meet those obligations to
be recognized, not as they occur, but systematically
and gradually over subsequent periods. All changes
are ultimately recognized, except to the extent they
may be offset by subsequent changes. At any point,
changes that have been identified and quantified
await subsequent accounting recognition as net cost
components and as liabilities or assets.

Several statistical and other factors that attempt to

anticipate future events are used in calculating the
expense, liability and asset values related to our 
pension and post-retirement benefit plans. These 
factors include assumptions we make about the dis-
count rate, expected return on plan assets, rate of
increase in healthcare costs, the rate of future com-
pensation increases, and mortality, among others.
Actual returns on plan assets are not immediately 
recognized in our income statement, due to the afore-
mentioned delayed recognition feature that we follow
in accounting for pensions. In calculating the expect-
ed return on the plan asset component of our net 
periodic pension cost, we apply our estimate of the
long-term rate of return to the plan assets that
support our pension obligations, after deducting
assets that are specifically allocated to Transitional
Retirement Accounts (which are accounted for based
on specific plan terms).

For purposes of determining the expected return
on plan assets, we utilize a calculated value approach
in determining the value of the pension plan assets,
as opposed to a fair market value approach. The pri-
mary difference between the two methods relates to
systematic recognition of changes in fair value over
time (generally two years) versus immediate recogni-
tion of changes in fair value. Our expected rate of
return on plan assets is then applied to the calculated
asset value to determine the amount of the expected
return on plan assets to be used in the determination
of the net periodic pension cost. The calculated value
approach reduces the volatility in net periodic pension
cost that results from using the fair market value
approach.

The difference between the actual return on plan

assets and the expected return on plan assets is
added to, or subtracted from, any cumulative differ-
ences that arose in prior years. This amount is a com-
ponent of the unrecognized net actuarial (gain) loss
and is subject to amortization of net periodic pension

cost over the remaining service lives of the employ-
ees participating in the pension plan.

An additional significant assumption affecting our
pension and post-retirement benefit obligations and
the net periodic pension and other post-retirement
benefit cost is the rate that we use to discount our
future anticipated benefit obligations. In estimating
this rate, we consider rates of return on high quality
fixed-income investments currently available, and
expected to be available, during the period to maturi-
ty of the pension benefits.

Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency
for most foreign operations is the local currency. Net
assets are translated at current rates of exchange, 
and income, expense and cash flow items are trans-
lated at the average exchange rate for the year. The
translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Income. The U.S. dollar is 
used as the functional currency for certain sub-
sidiaries that conduct their business in U.S. dollars or
operate in hyperinflationary economies. A combina-
tion of current and historical exchange rates is used in
remeasuring the local currency transactions of these
subsidiaries, and the resulting exchange adjustments
are included in income. Aggregate foreign currency
losses were $77 in 2002 and gains were $29 and 
$103 in 2001 and 2000, respectively, and are included
in Other expenses, net in the accompanying Con-
solidated Statements of Income. Effective January 1,
2002, we changed the functional currency of our
Argentina operation from the U.S. dollar to the Peso
as a result of operational changes made subsequent
to the government’s new economic plan.

Note 2 — Restructuring Programs

Since early 2000, we have engaged in a series of
restructuring programs related to downsizing our
employee base, exiting certain businesses, outsourcing
certain internal functions and engaging in other 
actions designed to reduce our cost structure. We
accomplished these objectives through the undertak-
ing of restructuring initiatives, two of which, the SOHO
Disengagement and the March 2000 Restructuring, are
now substantially completed. The execution of the
Turnaround Program and the Fourth Quarter 2002
Restructuring Program and related payments of obliga-
tions continued through December 31, 2002. As man-
agement continues to evaluate the business, there may
be supplemental charges for new plan initiatives as
well as changes in estimates to amounts previously
recorded, as payments are made or actions are com-
pleted. Asset impairment charges were incurred in con-
nection with these restructuring actions for those
assets made obsolete or redundant as a result of the

Fourth Quarter 2002 Restructuring Program: As more
fully discussed in Note 1, on October 1, 2002, we adopt-
ed the provisions of SFAS No. 146. During the fourth
quarter of 2002, we announced a worldwide restructur-
ing program and subsequently recorded a provision 
of $402. The fair value of the initial liability was deter-
mined by discounting the future cash outflows using
our credit-adjusted risk-free borrowing rate of 5.9 per-
cent. The provision consisted of $312 for severance and
related costs (including $32 for special termination
benefits and pension curtailment charges) and $45 of
costs associated with lease terminations and future
rental obligations, net of estimated future sublease
rents. We also recorded $45 for asset impairments
associated with the exit activities. Of the total asset
impairment charge, $32 relates to the recognition of
currency translation adjustment losses on our invest-
ment that were recognized in conjunction with the
shutdown of a foreign subsidiary. The remaining asset
impairment related to the write-off of leasehold
improvements in exited facilities. The total included in
Restructuring and asset impairment charges in the
Consolidated Statements of Income for the Fourth
Quarter 2002 Restructuring Program was $402.

Key initiatives of this restructuring include the 

following:
• Streamlining manufacturing and administrative 

operations;

• Transitioning to an indirect sales and service model

for our Office segment in Europe;

• Implementing an average 10 percent reduction in
the number of middle and upper managers across
all our businesses in the United States;

• Outsourcing work in areas not related to our core

business operations and where there is an economic
advantage. This includes the outsourcing of certain
service functions and moving towards an indirect
sales model where it was deemed cost beneficial to
do so.

• Implementing a wide-ranging series of initiatives
across Developing Markets Operations (“DMO”)

52

• Integrating Xerox Engineering Systems (“XES”) into
our North American and European operations from
its previous stand-alone structure.

The severance and other employee separation
costs are related to the elimination of approximately
4,700 positions worldwide. Approximately 55 percent,
31 percent, 11 percent and 3 percent of the positions
related to the U.S., Europe, Latin America and
Canada, respectively. As of December 31, 2002,
approximately 1,700 of the 4,700 affected employees
had been separated under the program, and a majori-
ty of the remainder are expected to be separated in
the first quarter of 2003.

SFAS No. 146 requires recognition and measure-
ment of a liability for lease and other contract termi-
nation costs. For those lease contracts that are not
terminated, a liability must be recorded when the enti-
ty ceases using the leased property. This liability is
based on remaining rentals over the lease term, net of
estimated sublease rentals that can be reasonably
obtained for the property, regardless of whether the
entity intends to enter a sublease. The sublease rates
are based on estimated market rental rates. External
factors, such as appraisals, recent rental activities in
local markets, history of subleases in the same or sim-
ilar space and other factors are all considered when
estimating sublease rentals. Our estimated lease
costs of $45 for properties exited as part of the Fourth
Quarter 2002 Restructuring Program are net of future
sublease rentals of $19.

The lease termination and asset impairment charge

related primarily to the exiting and consolidation of
office facilities, distribution centers and warehouses
worldwide. The majority of the U.S. consolidation
resulted in a provision of $36, and was for facilities
located in California and other smaller locations. 
The remaining provision of $9 related to the consoli-
dation of certain European facilities as a result of the
reduction in personnel. The Fourth Quarter 2002
Restructuring Program reserve balance at December
31, 2002 of $286 is expected to be substantially
utilized in 2003. As mentioned above, we recorded
$32 in special termination benefits and pension cur-
tailment charges representing enhanced retirement
benefits given to early retirees and the recognition 
of previously unrecognized pension and other benefit
costs that will be paid to such employees. In addition
to these pension related costs, we also incur others
such as pension settlements. A pension settlement
occurs when we make lump-sum cash payments 
to plan participants in exchange for their rights to
receive pension benefits in the future. We are
required to recognize a loss if, at the time of the settle-
ment, the assets attributable to those participants
included unrecognized losses. We expect that many
of the terminated employees will subsequently elect

to receive lump-sum cash payments in 2003. In accor-
dance with pension accounting rules, we are not per-
mitted to recognize such gains or losses until such
settlement occurs. We expect 2003 restructuring
charges of approximately $115, $90 of which are
expected to relate to pension settlements in the
Production and Office segments. Such amounts could
change based on the actual level of participants who
elect to receive the lump-sum distributions and the
pension asset values as of such date. The balance of
the planned 2003 restructuring charges relate to addi-
tional severance and cost reduction actions associat-
ed with our XES business in the Other segment.

Restructuring and asset impairment charges of

$402 for the Fourth Quarter 2002 Restructuring
Program were comprised of $145 in our Production
segment, $102 in our Office segment, $55 in our DMO
segment and $100 in our Other segment.

Turnaround Program: The Turnaround Program began
in October to reduce costs, improve operations, tran-
sition customer equipment financing to third-party
vendors and sell certain assets.

In the fourth quarter of 2000, we provided $105, con-

sisting of $71 for severance and related costs and $34
for asset impairments associated with the disposition
of Delphax, which supplied high-speed election beam
digital printing systems. Over half of these charges
related to our Production operating segment, with the
remainder relating to our Office, DMO and Other oper-
ating segments. During 2001, we provided an addition-
al $403 of restructuring and asset impairment charges,
net of reversals of $26. The reversals related to actual
employee separation costs being lower than we origi-
nally anticipated. This was largely due to employee
attrition, prior to fulfilling the services required before
severance became payable as well as certain employ-
ees that were subsequently redeployed within our
other businesses as a result of unrelated attrition in
these other businesses. Of the amounts provided, $339
was for severance and other employee separation
costs (including $21 for pension curtailment charges),
$36 was for lease cancellation and other exit costs and
$28 was for asset impairments. The majority of these

charges related to our Production and Office operating
segments. The lease termination and other exit costs
and asset impairments related primarily to manufactur-
ing operations. Included in 2001 restructuring charges
are $24, primarily for severance and other employee
separation costs, related to the outsourcing of certain
Office operating segment manufacturing to Flextronics,
as discussed in Note 4.

As of December 31, 2001, we had $223 of Turn-
around Program restructuring reserves remaining, 
primarily related to employee severance as a result 
of our downsizing efforts. During the year ended
December 31, 2002, we provided an additional $253
(including special termination benefits and pension
curtailments of $27), net of $33 reversals. The reversals
are related to employee attrition prior to severance
payments, lower costs of outplacement programs and
other costs. These provisions were primarily for sever-
ance and other employee separation costs affecting
our Production and Office operating segments, as well
as a minor amount of lease termination and other
costs. The 2002 charge related to the elimination of
redundant resources and the consolidation of activities
into other existing operations, bringing the total elimi-
nated positions, since the inception of the Turnaround
Program, to approximately 11,200. As of December 31,
2002, substantially all the 11,200 affected employees
had separated under the program. The Turnaround
Program reserve balance at December 31, 2002 was
$131, which is expected to be substantially utilized in
the first half of 2003. The total net costs included in
Restructuring and asset impairment charges in the
Consolidated Statements of Income for the Turnaround
Program were $253, $403 and $105 in 2002, 2001 and
2000, respectively.

SOHO Disengagement: In 2001, we began a separate
restructuring program associated with the disengage-
ment from our worldwide small office/home office
(“SOHO”) business. In connection with exiting this
business in 2001, we recorded a provision of $239, 
net of reversals of $26. Reversals were primarily relat-
ed to a higher than anticipated number of employees 
re-deployed and better than expected experience in
certain contract terminations. The charge included
provisions for the elimination of approximately 1,200
positions worldwide by the end of 2001, the closing 
of facilities and the write-down of certain assets to 
net realizable value. The restructuring provision 
associated with this action included $164 for asset
impairments, $49 for lease terminations, purchase
commitments and other exit costs, and $26 for sever-
ance and employee separation costs. An additional
provision of $34 related to excess inventory was
recorded as a charge to Cost of Sales in our Consoli-
dated Statements of Income.

During the fourth quarter 2001, we depleted our
inventory of personal inkjet and xerographic printers,
copiers, facsimile machines and multifunction devices
which were sold primarily through retail channels to
small offices, home offices and personal users (con-
sumers). We continue to provide service, support and
supplies, including the manufacturing of such
supplies, for customers who currently own these
products during a phase-down period to meet
customer needs.

During 2002, we recorded a charge of $10 primarily
for asset impairment charges for a change in the esti-
mated recoverability of the Ireland SOHO facility. The
total net costs included in Restructuring and asset
impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements
of Income for the SOHO disengagement were $10 
and $239 in 2002 and 2001, respectively. Charges
against the reserve were $17 and $52 in 2002 and
2001, respectively. The SOHO Disengagement
program had been substantially completed as of
December 31, 2002, with $6 of reserves remaining for
severance and lease cancellation costs.

March 2000 Restructuring: In March 2000, we
announced details of a worldwide restructuring pro-
gram and recorded charges of $489 which included
severance and employee separation costs of $424
related to the elimination of 5,200 positions
worldwide, asset impairments of $30 and other exit
costs of $35. An additional provision of $84 related to
excess inventory primarily resulting from the planned
consolidation of certain warehousing operations was
recorded as a charge to Cost of sales. In late 2000, as
a result of weakening business conditions, poor oper-
ating results and a change in focus of our new senior
management team toward increasing liquidity, we re-
evaluated the remaining plan elements. As a result of
this re-evaluation, we reversed $120 of the original

54

charge. The amount reversed consisted of $97 related
to severance costs associated with approximately
1,000 positions and $23 related to other costs. The
most significant reversals related to an aggregated
$72 for the abandonment of our plans to outsource
warehouse facilities in North America, as well as the
outsourcing of a product manufacturing line. As 2000
progressed and the Turnaround Program was
announced, new senior management determined that
the costs required to complete the planned actions for
both of these initiatives and the estimated payback
periods were not in line with their objectives. Based
on the changes in facts and circumstances, we deter-
mined that the reserve should be reversed. The
remaining $48 of reversals related to attrition, as well
as management’s assessment of remaining employee
terminations, in light of the newly announced
Turnaround Program, which involved $71 of new sev-
erance charges in the fourth quarter of 2000. During
2001, we recorded additional provisions of $83 which
included $68 for severance and related costs, asset
impairments of $13 and other exit costs of $2 for
instances when the actual cost of certain initiatives
exceeded the amount estimated at the time of the
original charge. We also recorded reversals of $17
associated with the cancellation of certain service and
manufacturing initiatives. We provided an additional
$5 in 2002 to complete certain severance-related
actions. We recorded asset impairments of $13 and
$30 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The total net costs
included in Restructuring and asset impairment
charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income for
the March 2000 Restructuring were $5, $66 and $369
in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Charges against
the reserve were $17, $204 and $176 in 2002, 2001 and
2000, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, the
March 2000 Restructuring Program had been
completed.

1998 Restructuring: During 2001, we recorded addi-
tional provisions for changes in estimates of $15 and
reversals of $8, primarily as a result of changes in 
certain manufacturing initiatives. The total net costs
included in Restructuring and asset impairment
charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income for
the 1998 Restructuring was $7 and $1 in 2001 and
2000, respectively. Charges against the reserve were
$24, $76 and $247 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respective-
ly. As of December 31, 2002, the 1998 Restructuring
Program had been completed.

Note 3 — Acquisitions 

CPID Division of Tektronix, Inc.: In January 2000, we
and Fuji Xerox completed the acquisition of the Color
Printing and Imaging Division of Tektronix, Inc.
(“CPID”). CPID manufactures and sells color printers,
ink and related products, and supplies. The original
aggregate consideration paid of $925 in cash, includ-
ing $73 paid directly by Fuji Xerox, was subject to pur-
chase price adjustments pending the finalization of
net asset values. During 2001, we were reimbursed
$18 in cash upon finalization of these values which
was recorded as a reduction to Goodwill in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The
acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the
purchase method of accounting.

The excess of cash paid over the fair value of net
assets acquired was allocated to identifiable intangi-
ble assets and goodwill using a discounted cash flow
approach. The value of the identifiable intangible
assets included $27 for purchased in-process research
and development that was expensed in 2000. The
charge represented the fair-value of certain acquired
research and development projects that were deter-
mined not to have reached technological feasibility as
of the date of the acquisition, and was determined
based on a methodology that utilized the projected
after-tax cash flows of the products expected to result
from in-process research and development activities
and the stage of completion of the individual projects.
Other identifiable intangible assets acquired were
exclusive of intangible assets acquired by Fuji Xerox,
and included the installed customer base, the distribu-
tion network, the existing technology, the workforce
(which was transferred to goodwill upon adopting
SFAS No. 142) and trademarks. These identifiable
assets are included in Intangible assets, net in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The other identifiable intangible assets acquired are

being amortized on a straight-line basis over the esti-
mated useful lives which range from 7 to 25 years.
During 2001, certain intangible asset useful lives were
revised. As a result of these revisions, we recorded an
additional $9 in amortization expense during 2001. The
goodwill recorded in connection with this transaction
was being amortized on a straight-line basis (over 25
years) through December 31, 2001. On January 1, 2002,
we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 and the
amortization of goodwill was discontinued. Refer to

In connection with this acquisition, we recorded
approximately $45 for anticipated costs associated
with exiting certain activities of the acquired opera-
tions. These activities included: (i) the consolidation 
of duplicate distribution facilities; (ii) the rationaliza-
tion of the service organization and (iii) the exiting of
certain lines of the CPID business. The costs associat-
ed with these activities included inventory write-offs,
severance charges, contract cancellation costs and
fixed asset impairment charges. During 2001, we
revised our originally planned initiatives related to 
the acquired European service organization and our
estimate of the costs to complete the exit from our
distribution facilities in Europe. These changes, along
with certain other changes, resulted in the reversal of
$9 of the originally recorded reserves, with a
corresponding reduction in goodwill.

Note 4 — Divestitures and Other Sales

Nigeria: In December 2002, we sold our remaining
investment in Nigeria for a nominal amount and 
recognized a loss of $35, primarily representing
cumulative translation adjustment losses which were
previously unrealized.

Licensing Agreement: In September 2002, we signed 
a license agreement with a third-party, related to a
nonexclusive license for the use of certain of our
existing patents. In October 2002, we received
proceeds of $50 and granted the license. We have no
continuing obligation or other commitments to the
third-party and recorded the income associated with
this transaction as revenue in Service, outsourcing
and rentals in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Income.

Katun Corporation: In July 2002, we sold our 22 per-
cent investment in Katun Corporation, a supplier of
aftermarket copier/printer parts and supplies, for net
proceeds of $67. This sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of
$12, which is included in Other expenses, net, in the
accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.
After-tax, the sale was essentially break-even, as the
taxable basis of Katun was lower than our carrying
value on the sale date resulting in a high rate of
income tax.

Italy Leasing Business: In April 2002, we sold our 
leasing business in Italy to a company now owned by
GE for $200 in cash plus the assumption of $20 of debt.
This sale is part of an agreement under which GE, as
successor, will provide ongoing, exclusive equipment
financing to our customers in Italy. The total pre-tax
loss on this transaction, which is included in Other
expenses, net, in the accompanying Consolidated

55

Statements of Income, was $27 primarily related to
recognition of cumulative translation adjustment loss-
es and final sale contingency settlements. 

Prudential Insurance Company Common Stock: In the
first quarter of 2002, we sold common stock of
Prudential Insurance Company, associated with that
company’s demutualization. In connection with this
sale, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $19 that is
included in Other Expenses, net, in the accompanying
Consolidated Statement of Income.

Delphax: In December 2001, we sold Delphax
Systems and Delphax Systems, Inc. (“Delphax”) to
Check Technology Canada LTD and Check Technology
Corporation for $16. The transaction was essentially
break-even. Delphax designs, manufactures and sup-
plies high-speed electron beam imaging digital print-
ing systems and related parts, supplies and services.

Nordic Leasing Business: In April 2001, we sold our
leasing businesses in four Nordic countries to a com-
pany now owned by GE, for $352 in cash and retained
interests in certain finance receivables for total pro-
ceeds of approximately $370 which approximated
book value. These sales are part of an agreement
under which that company will provide ongoing,
exclusive equipment financing to our customers in
those countries.

Fuji Xerox Interest: In March 2001, we sold half of our
ownership interest in Fuji Xerox to Fuji Photo Film
Co., Ltd (“Fuji Film”) for $1.3 billion in cash. In
connection with the sale, we recorded a pre-tax gain
of $773. Under the agreement, Fuji Film’s ownership
interest in Fuji Xerox increased from 50 percent to 75
percent. Our ownership interest decreased to 25 per-
cent and we retain significant rights as a minority
shareholder. We have product distribution and tech-
nology agreements that ensure that both parties have
access to each other’s portfolio of patents, technology
and products. Fuji Xerox continues to provide prod-
ucts to us as well as collaborate with us on R&D.

Xerox China: In December 2000, we sold our China
operations to Fuji Xerox for $550. In connection 
with the sale, Fuji Xerox also assumed $118 of 
indebtedness. We recorded a pre-tax gain of $200 in
connection with this transaction. Prior to the sale, our
China operations had revenue of $262 in 2000, which
is included in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Income. While Fuji Xerox is our affiliate,
we believe the negotiations for this transaction were
similar to those that would have been entered into
with an unaffiliated third party, both in terms of price
and conditions. Both parties were represented by sep-
arate legal counsel.

56

Commodity Paper Product Line: In June 2000, we
entered an agreement with Georgia Pacific to sell our
U.S. and Canadian commodity paper product line and
customer list and recorded a pre-tax gain of $40 which
is included in Other expenses, net, which represented
the proceeds from the sale. We also granted a ten-year
exclusive license related to the use of the Xerox brand
name on future paper sales in exchange for a fair value
royalty agreement. In conjunction with the sale, we
also became an agent of Georgia Pacific for which we
earn a market-based commission on sales of commod-
ity paper. Subsequently, in January 2003, we discontin-
ued the agency relationship without penalty, and
resumed direct commodity paper sales.

ContentGuard: In April 2000, we sold a 25 percent 
ownership interest in our wholly-owned subsidiary,
ContentGuard, to Microsoft, Inc. for $50 and recognized
a pre-tax gain of $23, which is included in Other
expenses, net in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Income. An additional pre-tax gain of $27
was deferred, pending the achievement of certain per-
formance criteria. In May 2002, we repaid Microsoft
$25, as the performance criteria had not been achieved.
In connection with the sale, ContentGuard also
received $40 from Microsoft for a non-exclusive license
of its patents and other intellectual property and a $25
advance against future royalty income from Microsoft
on sales of products incorporating ContentGuard’s
technology. The license payment is being amortized
over the ten-year life of the license agreement due to
continuing obligations we have, related to our majority
ownership of ContentGuard. The royalty advance will
be recognized in income as earned. These amounts are
not refundable.

Flextronics Manufacturing Outsourcings: In the fourth
quarter of 2001, we entered into purchase and supply
agreements with Flextronics, a global electronics
manufacturing services company. Under the agree-
ments, Flextronics purchased related inventory, 
property and equipment. Pursuant to the purchase
agreement, we sold our operations in Toronto,
Canada; Aguascalientes, Mexico; Penang, Malaysia;
Venray, The Netherlands and Resende, Brazil to
Flextronics in a series of transactions, which were
completed in 2002. In total, approximately 4,100
Xerox employees in certain of these operations trans-
ferred to Flextronics. Total proceeds from the sales in
2002 and 2001 were $167, plus the assumption of cer-
tain liabilities, representing a premium over book
value. The premium is being amortized over the life of
the supply contract.

Under the supply agreement, Flextronics manufac-

tures and supplies equipment and components,
including electronic components, for the Office seg-
ment of our business. This represents approximately
50 percent of our overall worldwide manufacturing

operations. The initial term of the Flextronics supply
agreement is five years subject to our right to extend
for two years. Thereafter it will automatically be
renewed for one-year periods, unless either party
elects to terminate the agreement. We have agreed to
purchase from Flextronics most of our requirements
for certain products in specified product families. We
also must purchase certain electronic components
from Flextronics, so long as Flextronics meets certain
pricing requirements. Flextronics must acquire inven-
tory in anticipation of meeting our forecasted require-
ments and must maintain sufficient manufacturing
capacity to satisfy such forecasted requirements.
Under certain circumstances, we may become obli-
gated to repurchase inventory that remains unused
for more than 180 days, becomes obsolete or upon
termination of the supply agreement. Our remaining
manufacturing operations are primarily located in
Rochester, New York for our high-end production
products and consumables and Wilsonville, Oregon
for consumable supplies and components for the
Office segment products.

Note 5 — Receivables, Net 

Finance Receivables: Finance receivables result from
installment arrangements and sales-type leases aris-
ing from the marketing of our equipment. These
receivables are typically collateralized by a security
interest in the underlying assets. The components of

Our experience has shown that a portion of these
finance receivables will be prepaid prior to maturity.
Accordingly, the preceding schedule of contractual
maturities should not be considered a forecast of
future cash collections. In addition, our strategy of

exiting, in some geographies, the business of direct
financing of customers’ purchases may result in fur-
ther acceleration of the collection of these receivables
as a result of associated asset sales or securitizations.

Vendor Financing Initiatives: In 2001, we announced
several Framework Agreements with GE, under which
GE would become our primary equipment-financing
provider in the U.S., Canada, Germany and France. In
connection therewith, in October 2002, we completed
an eight-year agreement in the U.S. (the “New U.S.
Vendor Financing Agreement”), under which GE
Vendor Financial Services, a subsidiary of GE, became
the primary equipment financing provider in the U.S.,
through monthly securitizations of our new lease orig-
inations. In addition to the $2.5 billion already funded
by GE prior to this agreement, which is secured by
portions of our current lease receivables in the U.S.,
the New U.S. Vendor Financing Agreement calls for
GE to provide funding in the U.S. on new lease origi-
nations, of up to an additional $5 billion outstanding
at anytime during the eight-year term, subject to nor-
mal customer acceptance criteria. The $5 billion limit
may be increased to $8 billion, subject to agreement
between the parties. The new agreement contains
mutually agreed renewal options for successive two-
year periods.

Under the agreement, GE is expected to securitize
approximately 70 percent of new U.S. lease origina-
tions at over-collateralization rates, which will vary
over time, but are expected to be approximately 10
percent of the net receivables balance. The securitiza-
tions will be subject to interest rates calculated at
each monthly loan occurrence at yield rates consis-
tent with average rates for similar market based trans-
actions. Refer to Note 11 for further information on
interest rates. Consistent with the loans already
received from GE, the funding received under this
new agreement will be recorded as secured borrow-
ings and the associated receivables will be included in
our Consolidated Balance Sheet. GE’s commitment to
fund under this new agreement is not subject to our
credit ratings. There are no credit rating defaults that
could impair future funding under this agreement.
This agreement contains cross default provisions
related to certain financial covenants contained in 
the New Credit Facility and other significant debt facil-
ities. Any default would impair our ability to receive
subsequent funding until the default was cured or
waived but does not accelerate previous borrowings.
As of December 31, 2002, we were in compliance with
all covenants and expect to be in compliance for at
least the next twelve months.

In 2002 and 2001, we received financing totaling
$1,845 and $1,175, respectively, from GE, secured by
lease receivables in the U.S. Net fees of $9 and $7
have been capitalized as debt issue costs during the
years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respective-

57

ly. In connection with these transactions, $150 is in
escrow, as security for our continuing obligations
under the transferred contracts. At December 31,
2002, the remaining balance was $2,323 and is includ-
ed in debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
In May 2002, we launched the Xerox Capital

Services (“XCS”) venture with GE, under which XCS
now manages our customer administration and leas-
ing activities in the U.S., including various financing
programs, credit approval, order processing, billing
and collections. We account for XCS as a consolidated
entity since we are responsible to fund all of its opera-
tions, and, further, all events of termination result in
GE receiving back their entire equity investment and
total ownership reverting to us.

France Secured Borrowings: In December 2002, we
received $362, net of escrow requirements, in financ-
ing from Merrill Lynch Capital Markets Bank Limited
and Merrill Lynch International Bank Limited (sub-
sidiaries of Merrill Lynch) secured by some of our
lease receivables in France. At December 31, 2002, 
the remaining balance is $377 and is included in debt
in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Netherlands Secured Borrowings: Beginning in
the second half of 2002, we received a series of
financings from our unconsolidated joint venture with
De Lage Landen International BV (“DLL”) secured by
some of our lease receivables in The Netherlands. At
December 31, 2002, the remaining balance is $112
and is included in debt in our Consolidated Balance
Sheet.

Germany Secured Borrowings: In May 2002, we
entered into an agreement to transfer part of our
financing operations in Germany to GE. In conjunc-
tion with this transaction, we received loans from 
GE secured by lease receivables in Germany. Initial
cash proceeds of $79 were net of $15 of escrow
requirements. As part of the transaction we
transferred leasing employees to a GE entity which
will also finance certain new leasing business in the
future. We currently consolidate this joint venture
since we retain substantive rights related to the bor-
rowings. At December 31, 2002, the remaining
balance, which includes additional proceeds received
since May 2002, is $95 and is included in debt in our
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

United Kingdom Secured Borrowings: During 2002
and 2001, we received $268 and $885, respectively, in
financing from GE Capital Equipment Finance Limited
(a subsidiary of GE), secured by our portfolios of lease
receivables in the United Kingdom. At December 31,
2002, the remaining balance of $529 is included in
debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

58

Canada Secured Borrowings: In 2002, we received $443
of financing from GE, secured by lease receivables in
Canada. Cash proceeds of $428 were net of $8 of
escrow requirements and $7 of fees. At December 31,
2002, the remaining balance is $319 and is included in
debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

U.S. Asset-backed Securities Transaction: In July
2001, we transferred U.S. lease contracts to a consoli-
dated trust, which in turn sold $513 of floating-rate
asset-backed notes (the “Notes”). We received cash
proceeds of $480, net of $3 of expenses and fees. An
additional $30 of proceeds are being held in reserve
by the trust until the Notes are repaid, which is
currently estimated to be in or around August 2003.
Since the trust is consolidated in our financial state-
ments, we effectively recorded the proceeds received
as a secured borrowing. At December 31, 2002, the
remaining balance was $139 and is included as debt
in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In 2000, we transferred domestic lease contracts to
a special purpose entity (“SPE”) as part of a financing
transaction, for gross proceeds of $411. The proceeds
received were accounted for as a secured borrowing.
At December 31, 2002, the remaining balance was $7
and is included in debt in our Consolidated Balance
Sheet.

As of December 31, 2002, $4,218 of Finance receiv-
ables and $219 of Billed finance receivables are held
as collateral in various trusts and SPEs, as security for
the borrowings noted above. Total outstanding debt
being secured by these receivables at December 31,
2002 was $3,900. The SPEs are consolidated in our
financial statements due to their holding non-financial
assets and other conditions which preclude sale
accounting. Although the transferred assets are
included in our total assets, we received an opinion
from outside legal counsel that the trusts and SPEs to
which the assets were transferred were deemed bank-
ruptcy remote. As a result, the assets of the trust are
not available to satisfy any of our other obligations.

Accounts Receivable: In 2000, we established two
revolving accounts receivable securitization facilities
in the U.S. and Canada aggregating $330. The facili-
ties enabled us to sell, on an ongoing basis, undivided
interests in a portion of our accounts receivable in
exchange for cash.

In May 2002, a credit rating agency downgrade

caused a termination event under our U.S. trade receiv-
able securitization facility. The undivided interest sold
under the U.S. trade receivable securitization facility
amounted to $290 at December 31, 2001 and was
accounted for as a sale of receivables. We continued to
sell receivables into the U.S trade receivable securitiza-
tion facility pending renegotiation of the facility as a
result of this termination event. In October 2002, the
facility was terminated and no additional receivables

were sold to the facility. As a result, in October the
counterparty received $231 of collections from the 
pool of the then existing receivables within the facility,
which represented their remaining undivided interest
balance. No new receivables were purchased by the
counterparty and we have no further obligations as
such facility has been terminated.

The Canadian accounts receivable facility, also
accounted for as a sale of receivables, had undivided
interests of $36 at December 31, 2001. It was impacted
by a downgrade in our credit rating in February 2002,
which led to a similar termination event. The Canadian
accounts receivable facility was not renegotiated and
the balance of the undivided interests was fully settled
through collections in the first quarter of 2002.

Depreciation expense was $341, $402, and $417 for

the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. We lease certain land, buildings and
equipment, substantially all of which are accounted for
as operating leases. Total rent expense under operating
leases for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001
and 2000 amounted to $299, $332, and $344, respec-
tively. Future minimum operating lease commitments

sublease income under leases with non-cancelable
terms in excess of one year amounted to $45 at
December 31, 2002.

Capitalized direct costs associated with developing,

purchasing or otherwise acquiring software for 
internal-use are included in Other long-term assets in
our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected
useful life of the software, beginning when the software
is implemented. The software useful lives generally
vary from 3 to 5 years. Capitalized software balances,
net of accumulated amortization, were $341 and $479
at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Amort-
ization expense, including impairment charges, was

59

$215, $132 and $86 for the years ended December 31,
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

In 2001, we extended our information technology
contract with Electronic Data Systems Corp. (“EDS”)
for five years through June 30, 2009. Services to be
provided under this contract include support of 
global mainframe system processing, application
maintenance, desktop and helpdesk support, voice
and data network management and server manage-
ment. There are no minimum payments due EDS
under the contract. Payments to EDS, which are
recorded in SAG, were $357, $445 and $555 for the
years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

Note 8 — Investments in Affiliates, 
at Equity

Investments in corporate joint ventures and other
companies in which we generally have a 20 to 50 per-
cent ownership interest at December 31, 2002 and
2001 were as follows:

Fuji Xerox(1)
Other investments

2002

2001

$632

1 Our investment in Fuji Xerox of $563 at December 31, 2002 differs from 
our implied 25 percent interest in the underlying net assets, or $627, due
primarily to our deferral of gains resulting from sales of assets by us to Fuji
Xerox, partially offset by goodwill we allocated to the Fuji Xerox investment
at the time we acquired our remaining 20 percent of Xerox Limited from
The Rank Group (plc). We cannot recognize such gains related to our por-
tion of ownership interest in Fuji Xerox.

Fuji Xerox is headquartered in Tokyo and operates 
in Japan and other areas of the Pacific Rim, Australia
and New Zealand. As discussed in Note 4, we sold half
our interest in Fuji Xerox to Fuji Film in March 2001.

1 Fuji Xerox changed its fiscal year end in 2001 from December 31 to March
31. The 2002 and 2001 condensed financial data consists of the last three
months of Fuji Xerox’s fiscal year 2002 and 2001 and the first nine months
in fiscal year 2003 and 2002, respectively.

We have a technology agreement with Fuji Xerox
whereby we receive royalty payments and rights to
access their patent portfolio in exchange for access to
our patent portfolio. We have arrangements with Fuji
Xerox whereby we purchase inventory from and sell
inventory to Fuji Xerox. Pricing of the transactions
under these arrangements is based upon negotiations
conducted at arm’s length. Certain of these inventory
purchases and sales are the result of mutual research
and development arrangements. Our purchase com-
mitments with Fuji Xerox are in the normal course of
business and typically have a lead time of three
months. Purchases from and sales to Fuji Xerox for the
three years ended December 31, 2002 were as follows:

The segment classified as Other, includes several
units, none of which met the thresholds for separate
segment reporting. This group primarily includes
Xerox Supplies Group (“XSG”) (predominantly
paper), XES, Xerox Connect (“XConnect”), Xerox
Technology Enterprises (“XTE”) and consulting serv-
ices, royalty and license revenues. Other segment
profit (loss) includes the operating results from paper
sales and these entities, other less significant
businesses, our equity income from Fuji Xerox, and
certain costs which have not been allocated to the
businesses including non-financing interest and other
non-allocated costs. Other segments’ total assets
include XES, XSG, and our investment in Fuji Xerox.
Operating segment information for 2001 has been

adjusted to reflect a change in operating segment
structure that was made in 2002. The nature of the
changes related primarily to corporate expense and
other allocations associated with internal reorganiza-
tions made in 2002, as well as decisions concerning
direct applicability of certain overhead expenses to
the segments. The adjustments increased (decreased)
full year 2001 revenues as follows: Production – ($16),
Office – ($16), DMO – ($1), SOHO – $3 and Other – $30.
The full year 2001 segment profit was increased
(decreased) as follows: Production – $12, Office – $24,
DMO – $32, SOHO – $2 and Other – ($70). The operat-
ing segment information for 2000 has not been restat-
ed as it was impracticable to do so. Therefore, we
have presented 2002 and 2001 on the new basis and
2002, 2001 and 2000 on the old basis.

Note 9 — Segment Reporting 

Our reportable segments are consistent with how we
manage the business and how we view the markets
we serve. Our reportable segments are as follows:
Production, Office, DMO, SOHO, and Other. The
accounting policies of the operating segments are the
same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies.

The Production segment includes our DocuTech

family of products, production printing, color
products for the production and graphic arts markets
and light-lens copiers over 90 pages per minute sold
to Fortune 1000, graphic arts and government, educa-
tion and other public sector customers predominantly
through direct sales channels in North America and
Europe.

The Office segment includes our family of Docu-

ment Centre digital multifunction products, color
laser, solid ink and monochrome laser desktop print-
ers, digital and light-lens copiers under 90 pages per
minute, and facsimile products sold through direct
and indirect sales channels in North America and
Europe. The Office market is comprised of global,
national and mid-size commercial customers as well
as government, education and other public sector
customers.

The DMO segment includes our operations in Latin

America, the Middle East, India, Eurasia, Russia and
Africa. This segment includes sales of products that
are typical to the aforementioned segments, however
management serves and evaluates these markets on
an aggregate geographic, rather than product, basis.
The SOHO segment includes inkjet printers and
personal copiers sold through indirect channels in
North America and Europe to small offices, home
offices and personal users (consumers). As more fully
discussed in Note 2, in June 2001 we announced the
disengagement from the worldwide SOHO business.

2 Other segment profit (loss) includes net corporate expenses of $235 and $71 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

3 Depreciation and amortization expense is recorded in cost of sales, research and development expenses and selling, administrative and general expenses
and is included in the segment profit (loss) above. This information is not identified and reported separately to our chief operating decision-maker. These
expenses are recorded by our operating units in the accounting records based on individual assessments as to how the related assets are used. The separate
identification of this information for purposes of segment disclosure is impracticable, as it is not readily available and the cost to develop it would be 
excessive.

and is included in the segment profit (loss) above. This information is not identified and reported separately to our chief operating decision-maker. These
expenses are recorded by our operating units in the accounting records based on individual assessments as to how the related assets are used. The separate
identification of this information for purposes of segment disclosure is impracticable, as it is not readily available and the cost to develop it would be 
excessive.

Note 10 — Net Investment in
Discontinued Operations 

Our net investment in discontinued operations is
included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other
long-term assets and totaled $728 and $749 at
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Our net
investment is primarily related to the disengagement
from our former insurance holding company, Talegen
Holdings, Inc. (“Talegen”).

Reinsurance Obligation: Xerox Financial Services, Inc.
(“XFSI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, continues to
provide aggregate excess of loss reinsurance cover-
age (the “Reinsurance Agreements”) to two of the for-
mer Talegen units, Crum and Forster Inc. (“C&F”) and
The Resolution Group, Inc. (“TRG”) through Ridge
Reinsurance Limited (“Ridge Re”), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of XFSI. The coverage limits for these two
remaining Reinsurance Agreements total $578, which
is exclusive of $234 in C&F coverage that Ridge Re
reinsured during the fourth quarter of 1998.

We, and XFSI, have guaranteed that Ridge Re will
meet all its financial obligations under the two remain-
ing Reinsurance Agreements. Although unlikely, XFSI
may be required, under certain circumstances, to 

64

purchase, over time, additional redeemable preferred
shares of Ridge Re, up to a maximum of $301.

During 2001, we replaced $660 of letters of credit,
which supported Ridge Re ceded reinsurance obliga-
tions, with trusts which included the then existing
Ridge Re investment portfolio of approximately $405
plus $255 in cash. During 2002, Ridge Re repaid $20 of
this cash to us and expects to repay the remaining
$235 during 2003 at the time of the expected novation
of the C&F reinsurance contract to another insurance
company. These trusts are required to provide securi-
ty with respect to aggregate excess of loss
reinsurance obligations under the two remaining
Reinsurance Agreements. At December 31, 2002 and
2001, the balance of the investments in the trusts,
consisting of U.S. government, government agency
and high quality corporate bonds, was $759 and $684,
respectively.

Our remaining net investment in Ridge Re was

$325 and $319 at December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. Based on Ridge Re’s current projections
of investment returns and reinsurance payment obli-
gations, we expect to fully recover our remaining
investment. The projected reinsurance payments are
based on actuarial estimates.

Performance-Based Instrument: In connection with 
the sale of TRG in 1997, we received a $462 perform-
ance-based instrument as partial consideration. Cash
distributions are paid on the instrument, based on 
72.5 percent of TRG’s available cash flow as defined in
the sale agreement. For the years ended December 31,
2002 and 2001, we have received cash distributions of
$24 and $28, respectively. The recovery of this instru-
ment is dependent upon the sufficiency of TRG’s 
available cash flows. Based on current cash flow pro-
jections, we expect to fully recover the $410 remaining
balance of this instrument.

During 2002, the ultimate parent of TRG sought
approval from us to affect a change in business struc-
ture of the entities it holds by combining an insurance
subsidiary of TRG with one of its other insurers. In
order to obtain our approval and enhance the cash
flow capabilities of TRG, the ultimate parent of TRG
has entered into a subscription agreement with TRG
to purchase an established number of shares of this
instrument each year from TRG beginning in 2003 
and continuing through 2017.

Debt Classification: At December 31, 2002, our debt
has been classified in the Consolidated Balance
Sheets based on the contractual maturity dates of the
underlying debt instruments or as of the earliest put
date available to the debt holders. At December 31,
2001, our debt was classified in the same manner,
except that $3.5 billion of the aggregate $7.0 billion
Revolving credit agreement, which was due in 2002,
was classified as long-term because subsequent to
December 31, 2001, but prior to the issuance of the
financial statements, we refinanced that debt on a
long-term basis under the New Credit Facility.

We defer costs associated with debt issuance over
the applicable term or to the first redemption date, in
the case of convertible debt or debt with a put feature.
Total deferred debt issuance costs included in Other

long-term assets were $133 and $33 as of December
31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These costs are amor-
tized as interest expense in our Consolidated
Statements of Income.

Long-Term Debt: Long-term debt by final contractual
maturity date at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was as

Certain of our debt agreements allow us to redeem

outstanding debt prior to scheduled maturity,
although the New Credit Facility generally prohibits
early repayment of debt. The actual decision as to
early redemption, when and if possible, will be made
at the time the early redemption option becomes
exercisable and will be based on liquidity, prevailing
economic and business conditions, and the relative
costs of new borrowing.

Convertible Debt due 2018: In 1998, we issued
convertible subordinated debentures for net proceeds
of $575. The original scheduled amount due at maturi-
ty in April 2018 was $1,012 which corresponded to an
effective interest rate of 3.625 percent per annum,
including 1.003 percent payable in cash semiannually
beginning in October 1998. These debentures are con-
vertible at any time at the option of the holder into

66

7.808 shares of our common stock per 1,000 dollars
principal amount at maturity of the debentures. This
debt contains a put option which requires us to pur-
chase any debenture, at the option of the holder, on
April 21, 2003, for a price of 649 dollars per 1,000 dol-
lars principal amount at maturity of the debentures.
We may elect to settle the obligation in cash, shares 
of common stock, or any combination thereof. During
2002, we retired $32 of this convertible debt through
the exchange of approximately 4 million shares of
common stock valued at $31. During 2001, we retired
$58 of this convertible debt through the exchange of
approximately 6 million shares of common stock val-
ued at $49. As a result of these retirements, the
amount due at December 31, 2002 is $556 and is pro-
jected to accrete to $863 upon maturity in April 2018.

Debt-for-Equity Exchanges: During 2002, we
exchanged an aggregate of $52 of debt through the
exchange of 6.4 million shares of common stock val-
ued at $51 using the fair market value at the date of
exchange. A gain of $1 was recorded in connection
with these transactions. During 2001, we retired $374
of long-term debt through the exchange of 41 million
shares of common stock valued at $311. A gain of $63
was recorded in connection with these transactions.
The gains were recorded in Other expenses, net in our
Consolidated Statements of Income. The shares were
valued using the daily volume-weighted average price
of our common stock over a specified number of days
prior to the exchange, based on contractual terms.

Lines of Credit: As of December 31, 2001, we had 
$7 billion of loans outstanding under a fully-drawn
revolving credit agreement (Old Revolver) due
October 22, 2002, which we entered into in 1997 with
a group of lenders.

In June 2002, we entered into an Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Facility”)
with a group of lenders, replacing our prior $7 billion
facility (the “Old Revolver”). At that time, we perma-
nently repaid $2.8 billion of the Old Revolver and sub-
sequently paid $710 on the New Credit Facility. At
December 31, 2002, the New Credit Facility consisted
of two tranches of term loans totaling $2.0 billion and
a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility that includes a
$200 letter of credit subfacility. At December 31, 2002,
$3.5 billion was outstanding under the New Credit
Facility. At December 31, 2002 we had no additional
borrowing capacity under the New Credit Facility
since the entire revolving facility was outstanding,
including a $10 letter of credit under the subfacility.
Xerox, the parent company, is currently, and expects
to remain, the borrower of all the loans. The
Revolving Facility is available, without sub-limit, to
Xerox and to certain subsidiaries including Xerox
Canada Capital Limited, Xerox Capital Europe plc, 
and other foreign subsidiaries as defined.

We could be required to repay portions of the loans

earlier than their scheduled maturities with specified
percentages of any proceeds we receive from capital
market debt issuances, equity issuances or asset sales
during the term of the New Credit Facility, except that
the revolving loan commitment cannot be reduced
below $1 billion as a result of such prepayments.
Additionally, all loans under the New Credit Facility
become due and payable upon the occurrence of a
change in control.

The New Credit Facility loans bear interest at LIBOR
plus 4.50 percent, except that a $500 term-loan tranche
bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread that varies
between 4.00 percent and 4.50 percent, depending on
the amount secured.

In connection with the New Credit Facility we

incurred fees and other expenses of $120 which have
been capitalized and are being amortized over its term
on a basis consistent with the scheduled repayments
in relation to the total amount of the loan facility.

Subject to certain limits, all obligations under the
New Credit Facility are currently secured by liens on
substantially all domestic assets of Xerox Corporation
and substantially all our U.S. subsidiaries (other than
Xerox Credit Corporation) and are guaranteed by sub-
stantially all our U.S. subsidiaries. In addition, revolv-
ing loans outstanding from time to time to Xerox
Capital (Europe) plc (XCE) (none at December 31,
2002) are also secured by all XCE’s assets and are
guaranteed on an unsecured basis by certain foreign
subsidiaries that directly or indirectly own all the out-
standing stock of XCE. Revolving loans outstanding
from time to time to Xerox Canada Capital Limited
(XCCL) ($50 at December 31, 2002) are secured by all
XCCL’s assets and are guaranteed on an unsecured
basis by our material Canadian subsidiaries, as
defined.

The New Credit Facility contains affirmative and
negative covenants which are more fully discussed in
Note 1. 

At December 31, 2002, we are in compliance with
all aspects of the New Credit Facility including finan-
cial covenants and expect to be in compliance for at
least the next twelve months. Failure to be in compli-
ance with any material provision or covenant of the
New Credit Facility could have a material adverse
effect on our liquidity and operations.

We are required to make scheduled amortization
payments of $202.5 on each of March 31, 2003 and
September 30, 2003, and $302.5 on each of March 31,
2004 and September 30, 2004. In addition, mandatory
prepayments are required from a portion of any pro-
ceeds we receive from certain asset transfers or debt
or equity issuances, as those terms are defined in the
New Credit Facility. Any such prepayments would be
credited toward the scheduled amortization payments
in direct order of maturity.

Senior Notes: In January 2002, we completed an
unregistered offering in the U.S. ($600) and Europe
(€225) of 9.75 percent senior notes due in 2009
(“Senior Notes”) and received net cash proceeds of
$746, which included $559 and €209. The senior notes
were issued at a 4.833 percent discount and pay inter-
est semiannually on January 15 and July 15. In March
2002, we filed a registration statement to exchange
senior registered notes for these unregistered senior
notes. This registration statement has not yet been
declared effective. The terms of the debt include
increases in the interest rate to the extent the registra-
tion is delayed. Such increases will be up to 0.50 per-
cent and will be effective until the registration
effectiveness is complete. As of January 17, 2003, the
interest rate increased to 10.0 percent. Fees of $16
incurred in connection with this offering have been
capitalized as debt issue costs and are being
amortized over the term of the notes. These Senior
Notes are guaranteed by certain of our U.S.
subsidiaries and contain several affirmative and nega-
tive covenants similar to those in the New Credit
Facility, but taken as a whole are less restrictive than
those in the New Credit Facility. We were in compli-
ance with these covenants at December 31, 2002.

Guarantees: At December 31, 2002, we have guaran-
teed $1.9 billion of indebtedness of our foreign 
wholly-owned subsidiaries. This debt is included in
our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of such date.

Interest: Interest paid by us on our short- and long-
term debt amounted to $772, $1,074, and $1,050 for 
the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

expense that is included in Other expenses, net in the Consolidated

2 Includes Finance income, as well as other interest income that is included in

Other expenses, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Equipment financing interest is determined based
on a combination of actual interest expense incurred
on financing debt, as well as our estimated cost of
funds, applied against the estimated level of debt
required to support our financed receivables. The 
estimate is based on an assumed ratio of debt as com-
pared to our finance receivables. This ratio ranges 
from 80-90 percent of our average finance receivables.
This methodology has been consistently applied for 
all periods presented.

Note 12 — Financial Instruments

We are exposed to market risk from changes in for-
eign currency exchange rates and interest rates that
could affect our results of operations and financial
condition. Our current below investment-grade credit
ratings effectively constrain our ability to fully use
derivative contracts as part of our risk management
strategy described below, especially with respect to
interest rate management. Accordingly, our results of
operations are exposed to increased volatility. As fur-
ther discussed in Note 1, we adopted SFAS No. 133,
as of January 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 133
has increased the volatility of reported earnings and
other comprehensive income. In general, the amount
of volatility will vary with the level of derivative and
hedging activities and the market volatility during any
period.

We have historically entered into certain derivative

contracts, including interest rate swap agreements,
foreign currency swap agreements, forward exchange
contracts and purchased foreign currency options, to
manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures.
The fair market values of all our derivative contracts
change with fluctuations in interest rates and/or cur-
rency rates and are designed so that any change in
their values is offset by changes in the values of the
underlying exposures. Our derivative instruments are
held solely to hedge economic exposures; we do not
enter into derivative instrument transactions for trad-
ing or other speculative purposes and we employ
long-standing policies prescribing that derivative
instruments are only to be used to achieve a very lim-
ited set of objectives.

Our primary foreign currency market exposures
include the Japanese Yen, Euro, Brazilian Real, British
Pound Sterling and Canadian Dollar. Historically, for
each of our legal entities, we have generally hedged
foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities,
primarily through the use of derivative contracts.
Despite our current credit ratings, we have been able to
restore significant economic hedging activities with
currency-related derivative contracts during 2002.

68

Although we are still unable to hedge all our currency
exposures, we are currently utilizing the re-established
capacity primarily to hedge currency exposures related
to our foreign-currency denominated debt.

We typically enter into simple unleveraged deriva-
tive transactions. Our policy is to use only counterpar-
ties with an investment-grade or better credit rating
and to monitor market risk and exposure for each
counterparty. We also utilize arrangements allowing
us to net gains and losses on separate contracts with
all counterparties to further mitigate the credit risk
associated with our financial instruments. Based upon
our ongoing evaluation of the replacement cost of our
derivative transactions and counterparty credit wor-
thiness, we consider the risk of a material default by a
counterparty to be remote.

Due to our credit ratings, many of our derivative

contracts and several other material contracts at
December 31, 2002 require us to post cash collateral
or maintain minimum cash balances in escrow. These
cash amounts are reported in our Consolidated
Balance Sheets as within Other current assets or
Other long-term assets, depending on when the cash
will be contractually released. Such restricted cash
amounts totaled $77 at December 31, 2002.

Interest Rate Risk Management: Virtually all
customer-financing assets earn fixed rates of interest,
while a significant portion of our debt bears interest 
at variable rates. Historically, we have attempted to
manage our interest rate risk by “match-funding” the
financing assets and related debt, including through
the use of interest rate swap agreements. However, as
our credit ratings declined, our ability to continue this
practice became constrained.

At December 31, 2002, we had $7.0 billion of vari-
able rate debt, including the $3.5 billion outstanding
under the New Credit Facility and the notional value
of our pay-variable interest-rate swaps. The notional
value of our offsetting pay-fixed interest-rate swaps
was $1.2 billion.

Our loans related to vendor financing, from parties

including GE, are secured by customer-financing
assets and are designed to mature ratably with our
collection of principal payments on the financing
assets which secure them. Additionally, the interest
rates on all these loans are fixed. As a result, the ven-
dor financing loan programs we have implemented
create natural match-funding of the financing assets
to the related loans. As we implement additional ven-
dor financing opportunities and continue to repay
existing debt, the portion of our financing assets
which is match-funded against related secured debt
will increase.

Single Currency Interest Rate Swaps: At December 31,
2002 and 2001 we had outstanding single currency
interest rate swap agreements with aggregate notional

amounts of $3,820 and $4,415, respectively. The net
asset fair values at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were
$121 and $52, respectively.

Foreign Currency Interest Rate Swaps: In cases where
we issue foreign currency-denominated debt, we enter
into cross-currency interest rate swap agreements if
possible, whereby we swap the proceeds and related
interest payments with a counterparty. In return, we
receive and effectively denominate the debt in local
functional currencies.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, we had outstand-

ing cross-currency interest rate swap agreements

with aggregate notional amounts of $879 and $1,481,
respectively. The net asset fair values at December 31,
2002 and 2001 were $21 and $17, respectively. Of the
outstanding agreements at December 31, 2002, the
largest single currency hedged was the Japanese yen.
Contracts denominated in Japanese yen, Pound ster-
ling and Euros accounted for over 95 percent of our
cross-currency interest rate swap agreements.

swaps by maturity date and type at December 31,

The majority of the variable portions of our swaps

pay interest based on spreads against LIBOR or the
European Interbank Rate.

Derivatives Marked-to-Market Results: While our
existing portfolio of interest rate derivative
instruments is intended to economically hedge inter-
est rate risks to the extent possible, differences
between the contract terms of our derivatives and the
underlying related debt reduce our ability to obtain
hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 133.
This results in mark-to-market valuation of the majori-
ty of our derivatives directly through earnings, which
accordingly leads to increased earnings volatility.
During 2002 and 2001, we recorded net gains of $12
and net losses of $2, respectively, from the mark-to-
market valuation of interest rate derivatives for which
we did not apply hedge accounting.

Fair Value Hedges: During 2002, pay variable/receive
fixed interest rate swaps with a notional amount of
$600 and associated with the Senior Notes due in
2009, were designated and accounted for as fair value
hedges. The swaps were structured to hedge the fair
value of the debt by converting it from a fixed rate
instrument to a variable based instrument. Since the
hedging relationship qualified under SFAS No. 133,
no ineffective portion was recorded to earnings dur-
ing 2002. During 2001, certain Japanese yen/U.S. 

dollar cross-currency interest rate swaps with a
notional amount of 65 billion yen were designated
and accounted for as fair value hedges. The net inef-
fective portion recorded to earnings during 2001 was
a loss of $7 and is included in Other expenses, net in
the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Income. All components of each derivatives gain or
loss were included in the assessment of hedge effec-
tiveness. Hedge accounting was discontinued in the
fourth quarter 2001 after the swaps were terminated
and moved to a different counterparty, because the
new swaps did not satisfy certain SFAS No. 133
requirements.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management:

Currency Derivatives: We utilize forward exchange
contracts and purchased option contracts to hedge
against the potentially adverse impacts of foreign cur-
rency fluctuations on foreign currency denominated
assets and liabilities. Changes in the value of these
currency derivatives are recorded in earnings togeth-
er with the offsetting foreign exchange gains and
losses on the underlying assets and liabilities.

We also utilize currency derivatives to hedge antici-
pated transactions, primarily forecasted purchases of
foreign-sourced inventory and foreign currency lease,
interest and other payments. These contracts generally
mature in six months or less. Although these contracts

69

are intended to economically hedge foreign currency
risks to the extent possible, differences between the
contract terms of our derivatives and the underlying
forecasted exposures reduce our ability to obtain
hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 133.
Accordingly, the changes in value for a majority 
of these derivatives are recorded directly through
earnings.

During 2002, 2001 and 2000, we recorded

aggregate exchange losses of $77 and gains of $29
and $103, respectively. This reflects the changes in 
the values of all our foreign currency derivatives, for
which we did not apply hedge accounting, together
with exchange gains and losses on foreign currency
underlying assets and liabilities.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, we had outstand-
ing forward exchange and purchased option contracts
with gross notional values of $3,319 and $3,900,
respectively. The net asset (liability) fair values of our
currency derivatives at December 31, 2002 and 2001 

were $(50) and $8, respectively. The following is a
summary of the primary hedging positions held as 
of December 31, 2002:

* Includes reclassification of $7 in 2002 and $12 in 2001 of the after-tax transition loss of $19.

During 2002 and 2001, certain forward contracts
used to hedge Euro denominated interest payments
were designated and accounted for as cash flow
hedges. Accordingly, the change in value of these
derivatives is included in the rollforward of AOCI
above. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded to
the Consolidated Statements of Income during 2002
or 2001 for our designated cash flow hedges and all
components of each derivatives gain or loss are
included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
The amount reclassified to earnings during 2001 and
2002 represents the recognition of deferred gains or
losses along with the underlying hedged transactions. 

Net Investment Hedges: We also utilize derivative
instruments and non-derivative financial instruments
to hedge against the potentially adverse impacts of 
foreign currency fluctuations on certain of our invest-
ments in foreign entities. During 2001, $18 of net after-
tax gains related to hedges of our net investments in
Xerox Brazil and Fuji Xerox were recorded in the cumu-
lative translation adjustments account. The amounts
recorded during 2002 were less than $1.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The estimated fair
values of our financial instruments at December 31,

The fair value amounts for Cash and cash equiva-

carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these
instruments.

The fair value of Short- and Long-term debt was
estimated based on quoted market prices for these or
similar issues or on the current rates offered to us for
debt of similar maturities. The difference between the
fair value and the carrying value represents the theo-
retical net premium or discount we would pay or
receive to retire all debt at such date. We have no
plans to retire significant portions of our debt prior 
to scheduled maturity.

1 Interest cost includes interest expense on non-TRA obligations of $238, $216 and $225 and interest (income) expense directly allocated to TRA participant

accounts of $(448), $(400) and $228 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

2 Expected return on plan assets includes expected investment income on non-TRA assets of $314, $319 and $294 and actual investment (losses) income on

TRA assets of $(448), $(400) and $228 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

During 2002, we incurred special termination bene-
fits and recognized curtailment/settlement losses as a
result of restructuring programs.

Accordingly, the special termination benefit cost of
$29, and $18 of the total recognized settlement/curtail-
ment loss amount of $55 is included as a restructuring
charge in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Pension plan assets consist of both defined benefit

plan assets and assets legally restricted to the TRA
accounts. The combined investment results for these
plans, along with the results for our other defined 
benefit plans, are shown above in the actual return 
on plan assets caption. To the extent that investment
results relate to TRA, such results are charged directly
to these accounts as a component of interest cost.

Assumed health care cost trend rates have a signifi-
cant effect on the amounts reported for the health care
plans. For measurement purposes, a 13.8 percent
annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered
health care benefits was assumed for 2003, decreasing
gradually to 5.2 percent in 2008 and thereafter.

A one-percentage-point change in assumed health
care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) Benefits:
In 1989, we established an ESOP and sold to it 10 mil-
lion shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
(“Convertible Preferred”) of the Company for a
purchase price of $785. Each ESOP share is presently
convertible into six common shares of our common
stock (the “Convertible Preferred”). The Convertible
Preferred has a $1 par value and a guaranteed minimum
value of $78.25 per share and accrues annual dividends
of $6.25 per share, which are cumulative if earned.
When the ESOP was established, the ESOP borrowed
the purchase price from a group of lenders. The ESOP
debt was included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets
as debt because we guaranteed the ESOP borrowings.

72

A corresponding and offsetting amount was classified
as Deferred ESOP benefits and represented our com-
mitment to future compensation expense related to 
the ESOP benefits as well as an offset to the preferred
shares included in equity. In the second quarter of
2002, we repaid the outstanding balance of ESOP debt
of $135. We recorded an intercompany receivable from
the ESOP trust, in connection with our repayment of
the ESOP debt, which eliminates in consolidation.
Accordingly, the repayment of the ESOP debt effectively
represents a retirement of third party debt and therefore
such debt is no longer included in our Consolidated
Balance Sheets. The repayment of debt did not affect
the recognition of compensation expense associated
with the ESOP; however, interest expense was lower 
in 2002.

In connection with our decision in 2001 to eliminate
the quarterly dividends on our common stock, dividends
on the Convertible Preferred were suspended in July
2001. The ESOP requires predetermined debt service
obligations for each period to be funded by a combina-
tion of dividends and employee contributions over 
the term of the plan. The dividends do not affect our
Consolidated Statements of Income, while the contri-
butions are recorded as expense in such statements. 
As a result of the suspension of dividends, we were
required, under the terms of the plan, to increase our
contributions to the ESOP trust in order to meet the 
predetermined amount of debt service obligations. 
In addition, since the dividend requirement on the
Convertible Preferred is cumulative, dividends contin-
ued to accumulate in arrears until dividends were rein-
stated. As of the end of the third quarter of 2002, the
cumulative dividend amounted to $67, including $11
representing the third quarter 2002 dividend require-
ment. In September 2002, the payment of Cumulative
Preferred dividends was reinstated by our Board of
Directors and $67 of Convertible Preferred dividends
were declared. This resulted in a reversal of the previ-
ously accrued incremental compensation expense of
$67 ($32 of which related to 2001). During the fourth
quarter of 2002, dividends of $11 were declared. 
These were paid in January 2003. There was no corre-
sponding earnings per share improvement in 2002
since the EPS calculation requires deduction of
dividends declared from reported net income in arriv-
ing at net income available to common shareholders.

Effective income tax rate

23.8% 126.1%

19.1%

The difference between the 2002 effective tax rate of

23.8 percent and the U.S. federal statutory income tax
rate relates primarily to the recognition of tax benefits
from the favorable resolution of a foreign tax audit, tax
law changes as well as the retroactive declaration of
ESOP dividends. Such benefits are offset, in part, by 

73

tax expense recorded for the ongoing examination in
India, the sale of our interest in Katun Corporation as
well as recurring losses in certain jurisdictions where
we are not providing tax benefits.

The difference between the 2001 effective tax rate 
of 126.1 percent and the U.S. federal statutory income
tax rate relates primarily to the recognition of deferred
tax asset valuation allowances resulting from our
recoverability assessments, the taxes incurred in con-
nection with the sale of our partial interest in Fuji Xerox
and recurring losses in low tax jurisdictions. The gain
for tax purposes on the sale of Fuji Xerox was dispro-
portionate to the gain for book purposes as a result 
of a lower tax basis in the investment. Other items
favorably impacting the tax rate included a tax audit
resolution and additional tax benefits arising from prior
period restructuring provisions.

The difference between the 2000 effective tax rate 
of 19.1 percent and the U.S. federal statutory income
tax rate relates primarily to recurring losses in low tax
jurisdictions, the recognition of deferred tax asset 
valuation allowances resulting from our recoverability
assessments and additional tax benefits arising from
the favorable resolution of tax audits.

On a consolidated basis, we paid a total of $442, 
$57 and $354 in income taxes to federal, foreign and
state jurisdictions in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Total income tax expense (benefit) for the three years

ended December 31, 2002 was allocated as follows:

1 Benefit relates to preferred securities’ dividends as more fully described in

Note 16.

lated other comprehensive loss and tax benefit on nonqualified stock options.

In substantially all instances, deferred income taxes
have not been provided on the undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries and other foreign investments car-
ried at equity. The amount of such earnings included in
consolidated retained earnings at December 31, 2002
was approximately $5 billion. These earnings have been
permanently reinvested and we do not plan to initiate
any action that would precipitate the payment of income
taxes thereon. It is not practicable to estimate the
amount of additional tax that might be payable on the
foreign earnings. As a result of the March 31, 2001 dispo-
sition of one-half of our ownership interest in Fuji Xerox,
the investment no longer qualifies as a foreign corporate
joint venture. Accordingly, deferred taxes are required to

74

be provided on the undistributed earnings of Fuji Xerox,
arising subsequent to such date, as we no longer have
the ability to ensure permanent reinvestment.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give

rise to significant portions of the deferred taxes at
December 31, 2002 and 2001 were as follows:

Tax effect of future tax deductions

Research and development
Post-retirement medical benefits
Depreciation
Net operating losses
Other operating reserves
Tax credit carryforwards
Restructuring reserves
Allowance for doubtful accounts

The above amounts are classified as current or long-
term in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance
with the asset or liability to which they relate. Current
deferred tax assets at December 31, 2002 and 2001
amounted to $449 and $548, respectively.

The deferred tax assets for the respective periods
were assessed for recoverability and, where applicable,
a valuation allowance was recorded to reduce the total
deferred tax asset to an amount that will, more likely
than not, be realized in the future. The valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets as of January 1, 2001
was $187. The net change in the total valuation
allowance for the years ended December 31, 2002 and
2001 was an increase of $50 and $287, respectively. The
valuation allowance relates to certain foreign net operat-
ing loss carryforwards, foreign tax credit carryforwards
and deductible temporary differences for which we have 
concluded it is more likely than not that these items will
not be realized in the ordinary course of operations.

Although realization is not assured, we have conclud-

ed that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax
assets for which a valuation allowance was determined
to be unnecessary will be realized in the ordinary course
of operations based on scheduling of deferred tax liabil-
ities and projected income from operating activities. 
The amount of the net deferred tax assets considered
realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term 
if actual future income or income tax rates are lower
than estimated, or if there are differences in the timing

or amount of future reversals of existing taxable or
deductible temporary differences.

At December 31, 2002, we had tax credit carryforwards

of $204 available to offset future income taxes, of
which $159 is available to carryforward indefinitely
while the remaining $45 will begin to expire, if not uti-
lized, in 2004. We also had net operating loss carryfor-
wards for income tax purposes of $262 that will expire
in 2003 through 2012, if not utilized, and $1.9 billion
available to offset future taxable income indefinitely.

At December 31, 2002, our Brazilian operations had
assessments for indirect and other taxes which, inclu-
sive of interest, were approximately $260. These
assessments related principally to the internal transfer
of inventory. We do not agree with these assessments
and intend to vigorously defend our position. We, as
supported by the opinion of legal counsel, do not
believe that the ultimate resolution of these assessments
will materially impact our results of operations, finan-
cial position or cash flows.

We are subject to ongoing tax examinations and
assessments in various jurisdictions. Accordingly, we
provide for additional tax expense based upon the
probable outcomes of such matters. In addition, when
applicable, we adjust the previously recorded tax
expense to reflect examination results.

From 1995 through 1998, we incurred capital losses
from the disposition of our insurance group operations.
Such losses were disallowed under the tax law existing
at the time of the respective dispositions. As a result of
IRS regulations issued in 2002, some portion of the
losses may now be claimed subject to certain limitations.
We have filed amended tax returns for 1995 through
1998 reporting $1.2 billion of additional capital losses.
As of December 31, 2002, we have $425 of capital gains
available to be offset by the capital losses during the
relevant periods and anticipate a potential tax benefit
of approximately $150 to be recognized in a future 
period. The additional losses claimed and related 
tax benefits are subject to formal review by the U.S. 
government which is currently in process. We have not
recognized any tax benefit of these losses pending the
completion of this review. Any resulting capital loss
carryforwards will expire, if not utilized, by 2003.

Note 15 — Litigation, Regulatory
Matters and Other Contingencies

Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranty Liabilities:
As more fully discussed in Note 1, we apply the 
disclosure provisions of FIN 45 to our agreements that
contain guarantee or indemnification clauses. These
disclosure provisions expand those required by SFAS
No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies,” by requiring
that guarantors disclose certain types of guarantees,
even if the likelihood of requiring the guarantor’s per-
formance is remote. As of December 31, 2002, we have
accrued our estimate of liability incurred under these

indemnification arrangements and guarantees. The 
following is a description of arrangements in which we
are a guarantor.

Indemnifications provided as part of sales and purchas-
es of businesses and real estate assets:  We are a party
to a variety of agreements pursuant to which we may
be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect
to certain matters. Typically, these obligations arise in
the context of contracts that we entered into for the
sale or purchase of businesses or real estate assets,
under which we customarily agree to hold the other
party harmless against losses arising from a breach of
representations and covenants. These relate to such
matters as adequate title to assets sold, intellectual
property rights, specified environmental matters, and
certain income taxes. In each of these circumstances,
our payment is conditioned on the other party making
a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the par-
ticular contract, which procedures typically allow us to
challenge the other party’s claims. Further, our obliga-
tions under these agreements may be limited in terms
of time and/or amount, and in some instances, we may
have recourse against third parties for certain
payments we made.

Patent indemnifications: In most sales transactions to
resellers of our products, we indemnify against possible
claims of patent infringement caused by our products
or solutions. These indemnifications usually do not
include limits on the claims, provided the claim is
made pursuant to the procedures required in the sales
contract.

For the indemnification agreements discussed

above, it is not possible to predict the maximum poten-
tial amount of future payments under these or similar
agreements due to the conditional nature of our obliga-
tions and the unique facts and circumstances involved
in each agreement. Historically, payments we have
made under these agreements did not have a material
effect on our business, financial condition or results 
of operations.

Residual value guarantees: For certain vendor-financing
relationships, we have guaranteed the leasing company
for the residual value position they have taken subject
to the lease. The amount of these guarantees are
insignificant at December 31, 2002, but may be material
in future periods to the extent we offer additional 
guarantees.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors: Our 
corporate by-laws require that, except to the extent
expressly prohibited by law, we must indemnify our
officers and directors against judgments, fines, pen-
alties and amounts paid in settlement, including legal
fees and all appeals, incurred in connection with civil 
or criminal action or proceedings, as it relates to their

75

services to Xerox Corporation and our subsidiaries.
The by-laws provide no limit on the amount of
indemnification. As permitted under the State of New
York, we have purchased directors and officers insur-
ance coverage to cover claims made against the
directors and officers during the applicable policy
periods. The amounts and types of coverage have
varied from period to period as dictated by market
conditions. The current policy provides $105 of cover-
age and has no deductible. The litigation matters and
regulatory actions described below involve certain of
the Company’s current and former directors and offi-
cers, all of whom are covered by the aforementioned
indemnity and if applicable, the current and prior peri-
od insurance policies. However, certain indemnifica-
tion payments may not be covered under our
directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage.

Product Warranty Liabilities: In connection with our
normal sales of equipment, including those under sales-
type lease, we generally do not issue product warranties.
Our arrangements typically involve a separate full 
service maintenance agreement with the customer.
The agreements generally extend over a period equiva-
lent to the lease term or the expected useful life under a
cash sale. The service agreements involve the payment
of fees in return for our performance of repairs and
maintenance. As a consequence, we do not have any
significant product warranty obligations including any
obligations under customer satisfaction programs.
In few circumstances, particularly in certain cash

sales, we may issue a limited product warranty if 
negotiated by the customer. We also issue warranties
for certain of our lower-end products in the Office seg-
ment, where full service maintenance agreements are
not available. In these instances, we record warranty
obligations at the time of the sale.

The following table summarizes product warranty
activity recorded for the year ended December 31, 2002:

The decrease in product warranty liabilities at
December 31, 2002, as compared with December 31,
2001, is primarily due to our exit from the SOHO 
business in 2001.

Legal Matters: As more fully discussed below, we are a
defendant in numerous litigation and regulatory matters
involving securities law, patent law, environmental law,
employment law and the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act (“ERISA”). Should these matters result in 

76

a change in our determination as to an unfavorable
outcome, result in a final adverse judgment or be set-
tled for significant amounts, they could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows
and financial position in the period or periods in which
such determination, judgment or settlement occurs.

Litigation Against the Company:
In re Xerox Corporation Securities Litigation: A consoli-
dated securities law action (consisting of 17 cases) is
pending in the United States District Court for the
District of Connecticut. Defendants are the Company,
Barry Romeril, Paul Allaire and G. Richard Thoman.
The consolidated action purports to be a class action
on behalf of the named plaintiffs and all other
purchasers of common stock of the Company during
the period between October 22, 1998 through October
7, 1999 (“Class Period”). The amended consolidated
complaint in the action alleges that in violation of
Section 10(b) and/or 20(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”), and SEC Rule
10b-5 thereunder, each of the defendants is liable as a
participant in a fraudulent scheme and course of busi-
ness that operated as a fraud or deceit on purchasers of
the Company’s common stock during the Class Period
by disseminating materially false and misleading state-
ments and/or concealing material facts. The amended
complaint further alleges that the alleged scheme: (i)
deceived the investing public regarding the economic
capabilities, sales proficiencies, growth, operations and
the intrinsic value of the Company’s common stock; (ii)
allowed several corporate insiders, such as the named
individual defendants, to sell shares of privately held
common stock of the Company while in possession of
materially adverse, non-public information; and (iii)
caused the individual plaintiffs and the other members
of the purported class to purchase common stock of
the Company at inflated prices. The amended consoli-
dated complaint seeks unspecified compensatory dam-
ages in favor of the plaintiffs and the other members of
the purported class against all defendants, jointly and 
severally, for all damages sustained as a result of
defendants’ alleged wrongdoing, including interest
thereon, together with reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in the action, including counsel fees and
expert fees. On September 28, 2001, the court denied
the defendants’ motion for dismissal of the complaint.
On November 5, 2001, the defendants answered the
complaint. On or about January 7, 2003, the plaintiffs
filed a motion for class certification. That motion is cur-
rently pending. The individual defendants and we deny
any wrongdoing and intend to vigorously defend the
action. Based on the stage of the litigation, it is not pos-
sible to estimate the amount of loss or range of possi-
ble loss that might result from an adverse judgment or
a settlement of this matter.

Christine Abarca, et al. v. City of Pomona, et al.
(Pomona Water Cases): On June 24, 1999, the
Company was served with a summons and complaint
filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for
the County of Los Angeles. The complaint was filed on
behalf of 681 individual plaintiffs claiming damages as
a result of our alleged disposal and/or release of
hazardous substances into the soil, air and groundwa-
ter. Subsequently, six additional complaints were filed
in the same court on behalf of another 459 plaintiffs,
with the same claims for damages as the June 1999
action. All seven cases have been served on the
Company, the Company denies liability and it is active-
ly defending against them. Plaintiffs in all seven cases
further allege that they have been exposed to such haz-
ardous substances by inhalation, ingestion and dermal
contact, including but not limited to hazardous
substances contained within the municipal drinking
water supplied by the City of Pomona and the
Southern California Water Company. Plaintiffs’ claims
against the Company include personal injury, wrongful
death, property damage, negligence, trespass,
nuisance, fraudulent concealment, absolute liability for
ultra-hazardous activities, civil conspiracy, battery and
violation of the California Unfair Trade Practices Act.
Damages are unspecified. The seven cases against the
Company (“Abarca Group”) have been coordinated
with approximately 13 unrelated cases against other
defendants which involve alleged contaminated
groundwater and drinking water in the San Gabriel
Valley area of Los Angeles County. In all of those cases,
plaintiffs have sued both the providers of drinking
water and the industrial defendants who they contend
contaminated the water. The body of groundwater
involved in the Abarca cases, and allegedly contami-
nated by the Company, is separate and distinct from
the body of groundwater that is involved in the San
Gabriel Valley cases, and there is no allegation that the
Company is involved in the San Gabriel Valley cases.
Nonetheless, the court ordered both groups of cases to
be coordinated because both groups concern allega-
tions of groundwater and drinking water contamina-
tion, have similar theories of liability alleged against
the defendants, and involve a number of similar legal
issues, thus apparently making it more efficient, in the
view of the court, for all of them to be handled by one
judge. Discovery has begun and no trial date has been
set. Based on the stage of the litigation, it is not possible
to estimate the amount of loss or range of possible loss
that might result from an adverse judgment or a settle-
ment of this matter.

Carlson v. Xerox Corporation, et al.: A consolidated
securities law action (consisting of 21 cases) is pending
in the United States District Court for the District of
Connecticut against the Company, KPMG and Paul A.
Allaire, G. Richard Thoman, Anne M. Mulcahy, Barry D.
Romeril, Gregory Tayler and Philip Fishbach. On

September 11, 2002, the court entered an endorsement
order granting plaintiffs’ motion to file a third consoli-
dated amended complaint. The defendants’ motion to
dismiss the second consolidated amended complaint
was denied, as moot. According to the third consolidat-
ed amended complaint, plaintiffs purport to bring this
case as a class action on behalf of an expanded class
consisting of all persons and/or entities who purchased
Xerox common stock and/or bonds during the period
between February 17, 1998 through June 28, 2002 and
who were purportedly damaged thereby (“Class”). The
third consolidated amended complaint sets forth two
claims: one alleging that each of the Company, KPMG,
and the individual defendants violated Section 10(b) of
the 1934 Act and SEC Rule 10b-5 thereunder; the other
alleging that the individual defendants are also allegedly
liable as “controlling persons” of the Company pursuant
to Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act. Plaintiffs claim that the
defendants participated in a fraudulent scheme that
operated as a fraud and deceit on purchasers of the
Company’s common stock and bonds by disseminat-
ing materially false and misleading statements and/or 
concealing material adverse facts relating to various of
the Company’s accounting and reporting practices and
financial condition. The plaintiffs further allege that this
scheme deceived the investing public regarding the
true state of the Company’s financial condition and
caused the plaintiffs and other members of the alleged
Class to purchase the Company’s common stock and
bonds at artificially inflated prices, and prompted a SEC
investigation that led to the April 11, 2002 settlement
which, among other things, required the Company to
pay a $10 penalty and restate its financials for the years
1997 – 2000 (including restatement of financials previ-
ously corrected in an earlier restatement which plain-
tiffs contend was improper). The third consolidated
amended complaint seeks unspecified compensatory
damages in favor of the plaintiffs and the other Class
members against all defendants, jointly and severally,
including interest thereon, together with reasonable
costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert
fees. On December 2, 2002, the Company and the indi-
vidual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the com-
plaint. That motion is currently pending. The individual
defendants and we deny any wrongdoing and intend
to vigorously defend the action. Based on the stage of
the litigation, it is not possible to estimate the amount
of loss or range of possible loss that might result from
an adverse judgment or a settlement of this matter.

Bingham v. Xerox Corporation, et al.: A lawsuit filed 
by James F. Bingham, a former employee of the
Company, is pending in the Superior Court of
Connecticut, Judicial District of Waterbury (Complex
Litigation Docket) against the Company, Barry D.
Romeril, Eunice M. Filter and Paul Allaire. The
complaint alleges that the plaintiff was wrongfully 
terminated in violation of public policy because he

77

attempted to disclose to senior management and to
remedy alleged accounting fraud and reporting irregu-
larities. The plaintiff further claims that the Company
and the individual defendants violated the Company’s
policies/commitments to refrain from retaliating
against employees who report ethics issues. The plain-
tiff also asserts claims of defamation and tortious inter-
ference with a contract. He seeks: (i) unspecified
compensatory damages in excess of $15 thousand, (ii)
punitive damages, and (iii) the cost of bringing the
action and other relief as deemed appropriate by the
court. The parties are engaged in discovery. The indi-
viduals and we deny any wrongdoing and intend to
vigorously defend the action. Based on the stage of the
litigation, it is not possible to estimate the amount of
loss or range of possible loss that might result from an
adverse judgment or a settlement of this matter.

Berger, et al. v. RIGP: A class was certified in an action
originally filed in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Illinois on July 25, 2000 against the
Company’s Retirement Income Guarantee Plan
(“RIGP”). The RIGP represents the primary U.S. pen-
sion plan for salaried employees. Plaintiffs bring this
action on behalf of themselves and an alleged class of
over 25,000 persons who received lump sum distribu-
tions from RIGP after January 1, 1990. Plaintiffs assert
violations of the ERISA, claiming that the lump sum
distributions were improperly calculated. On July 3,
2001, the court granted the Plaintiffs’ motion for sum-
mary judgment, finding the lump sum calculations 
violated ERISA. Although the damages sought were
not specified in the complaint, the Plaintiffs submitted
papers in December 2001 claiming $284 in damages.
On September 30, 2002, the court entered a final judg-
ment on damages, stating it would adopt plaintiffs’
methodology for calculating such damages. RIGP
denies any wrongdoing and has appealed the District
Court’s rulings with respect to both liability and dam-
ages. We believe, based on advice of legal counsel, that
it is probable that on appeal that the judgment will be
overturned. We cannot estimate the amount of loss
that might result from this matter. If the appeal should
ultimately not prevail, we would have to accrue the full
amount of the expense associated with the judgment
as if the judgment were directly against the Company.
Any final judgment after appeal would be paid from
RIGP assets. However, such payment may require the
Company to make additional contributions to RIGP in
the future based on a potential shortfall in plan assets
available to pay other plan liabilities.

District Court for the District of Connecticut against 
the Company, Paul Allaire, G. Richard Thoman, Barry
Romeril, Anne Mulcahy, Philip Fishbach, Gregory
Tayler and KPMG. The plaintiffs bring this action 
individually on their own behalves. In an amended
complaint filed on October 3, 2002, one or more of the
plaintiffs allege that each of the Company, the individ-
ual defendants and KPMG violated Sections 10(b) and
18 of the 1934 Act, SEC Rule 10b-5 thereunder, the
Florida Securities Investors Protection Act, Fl. Stat. ss.
517.301, and the Louisiana Securities Act, R.S.
51:712(A). The plaintiffs further claim that the individual
defendants are each liable as “controlling persons” of
the Company pursuant to Section 20 of the 1934 Act
and that each of the defendants is liable for common
law fraud and negligent misrepresentation. The com-
plaint generally alleges that the defendants participated
in a scheme and course of conduct that deceived the
investing public by disseminating materially false and
misleading statements and/or concealing material
adverse facts relating to the Company’s financial condi-
tion and accounting and reporting practices. The plain-
tiffs contend that in relying on false and misleading
statements allegedly made by the defendants, at vari-
ous times from 1997 through 2000 they bought shares
of the Company’s common stock at artificially inflated
prices. As a result, they allegedly suffered aggregated
cash losses in excess of $200. The plaintiffs further 
contend that the alleged fraudulent scheme prompted
a SEC investigation that led to the April 11, 2002 settle-
ment which, among other things, required the
Company to pay a $10 penalty and restate its financials
for the years 1997 – 2000 including restatement of
financials previously corrected in an earlier restatement
which plaintiffs contend was false and misleading. The
plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified com-
pensatory damages against the Company, the individ-
ual defendants and KPMG, jointly and severally,
including prejudgment interest thereon, together with
the costs and disbursements of the action, including
their actual attorneys’ and experts’ fees. On December
2, 2002, the Company and the individual defendants
filed a motion to dismiss all claims in the complaint
that are in common with the claims in the Carlson
action. That motion is currently pending. The individual
defendants and we deny any wrongdoing alleged in
the complaint and intend to vigorously defend the
action. Based on the stage of the litigation, it is not 
possible to estimate the amount of loss or range of
possible loss that might result from an adverse judg-
ment or a settlement of this matter.

Florida State Board of Administration, et al. v. Xerox
Corporation, et al.: A securities law action brought by
four institutional investors, namely the Florida State
Board of Administration, the Teachers’ Retirement
System of Louisiana, Franklin Mutual Advisers and
PPM America, Inc., is pending in the United States

In Re Xerox Corp. ERISA Litigation: On July 1, 2002, a
class action complaint captioned Patti v. Xerox Corp. et
al. was filed in the United States District Court for the
District of Connecticut (Hartford) alleging violations of
the ERISA. Three additional class actions (Hopkins,
Uebele and Saba) were subsequently filed in the same

78

court making substantially similar claims. On October
16, 2002, the four actions were consolidated as In Re
Xerox Corporation ERISA Litigation. On November 15,
2002, a consolidated amended complaint was filed. 
A fifth class action (Wright) was filed in the District of
Columbia. It has been transferred to Connecticut where
it will be consolidated with the other actions. The 
purported class includes all persons who invested or
maintained investments in the Xerox Stock Fund in the
Xerox 401(k) Plans (either salaried or union) during the
proposed class period, May 12, 1997 through
November 15, 2002, and allegedly exceeds 50,000 per-
sons. The defendants include Xerox Corporation and
the following individuals or groups of individuals dur-
ing the proposed class period: the Plan Administrator,
the Board of Directors, the Fiduciary Investment
Review Committee, the Joint Administrative Board, the
Finance Committee of the Board of Directors, and the
Treasurer. The complaint claims that all the foregoing
defendants were “named” or “de facto” fiduciaries of
the Plan under ERISA and, as such, were obligated to
protect the Plan’s assets and act in the best interest of
Plan participants. The complaint alleges that the 
defendants failed to do so and thereby breached their
fiduciary duties. Specifically, plaintiffs claim that the
defendants failed to provide accurate and complete
material information to participants concerning Xerox
stock, including accounting practices which allegedly
artificially inflated the value of the stock, and misled
participants regarding the soundness of the stock and
the prudence of investing retirement benefits in Xerox
stock. Plaintiff also claims that defendants failed to
ensure that Plan assets were invested prudently, to
monitor the other fiduciaries and to disregard Plan
directives they knew or should have known were
imprudent. The complaint does not specify the amount
of damages sought. However, it asks that the losses to
the Plan be restored, which it describes as “millions of
dollars.” It also seeks other legal and equitable relief, 
as appropriate, to remedy the alleged breaches of fidu-
ciary duty, as well as interest, costs and attorneys’ 
fees. We and the other defendants deny any wrongdo-
ing and intend to vigorously defend the action. Based
on the stage of the litigation, it is not possible to esti-
mate the amount of loss or range of possible loss that
might result from an adverse judgment or a settlement
of this matter.

Digwamaje et al. v. IBM et al.: A purported class action
was filed in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York on September 27, 2002.
Service of the complaint on the Company was deemed
effective as of December 6, 2002. The defendants
include Xerox and 80 other corporate defendants who
are accused of providing material assistance to the
apartheid government in South Africa from 1948 to
1994, by engaging in commerce in South Africa and
with the South African government and by employing

forced labor, thereby violating both international and
common law. Specifically, plaintiffs claim violations of
the Alien Tort Claims Act, the Torture Victims Protection
Act and RICO. They also assert human rights violations
and crimes against humanity. Plaintiffs seek compensa-
tory damages in excess of $200 billion and punitive
damages in excess of $200 billion. The foregoing 
damages are being sought from all defendants, jointly
and severally. Xerox intends to vigorously defend the
action and plans to file a motion to dismiss the com-
plaint. Based upon the stage of the litigation, it is not
possible to estimate the amount of loss or range of
possible loss that might result from an adverse judg-
ment or a settlement of this matter.

Arbitration between MPI Technologies, Inc. and Xerox
Canada Ltd. and Xerox Corporation: On November 15,
2001, MPI Technologies, Inc. (“MPI”) sent to the
American Arbitration Association a Demand for
Arbitration of a dispute arising under an Agreement
made as of March 15, 1994 between MPI and Xerox
Canada Ltd. (“XCL”) to which the Company later
became a party (“Agreement”). The Demand for
Arbitration claimed that XCL and the Company owed
royalties to MPI for software licensed under the
Agreement and initially alleged damages “estimated to
be in excess of $30 million.” In a subsequent claim sub-
mitted in the arbitration proceedings, MPI has alleged
damages of $68.9 for royalties owed, $35.0 for breach
of fiduciary duty, $35.0 in punitive damages and
unspecified damages and injunctive relief with respect
to a claim of copyright infringement. The parties have
selected three arbitrators and have agreed to conduct
the arbitration in Canada. On January 13 and 14, 2003,
the arbitrators heard argument on the motion of the
Company and XCL to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction
MPI’s claims for copyright infringement, breach of fidu-
ciary duty and for punitive damages. The arbitration
panel ruled on February 14, 2003 that it had jurisdiction
to hear all three issues. On March 14, 2003 the
Company and XCL petitioned the Ontario courts to re-
decide the issue of the panel’s jurisdiction to hear copy-
right infringement claims. The Company and XCL deny
any liability or wrongdoing, including any royalties
owed, intend to assert a counterclaim against MPI for
overpayment of royalties and intend to vigorously
defend the claim. Based on the stage of the arbitration,
it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or the
range of possible loss that might result from an
adverse ruling or a settlement of this matter.

Accuscan, Inc. v. Xerox Corporation: On April 11, 1996,
an action was commenced by Accuscan, Inc.
(“Accuscan”), in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, against the Company
seeking unspecified damages for infringement of a
patent of Accuscan which expired in 1993. The suit, as
amended, was directed to facsimile and certain other

79

products containing scanning functions and sought
damages for sales between 1990 and 1993. On April 1,
1998, the jury entered a verdict in favor of Accuscan 
for $40. However, on September 14, 1998, the court
granted our motion for a new trial on damages. The
trial ended on October 25, 1999 with a jury verdict of
$10. Our motion to set aside the verdict or, in the alter-
native, to grant a new trial was denied by the court. We
appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
(“CAFC”) which found the patent not infringed, thereby
terminating the lawsuit subject to an appeal which has
been filed by Accuscan to the U.S. Supreme Court. 
The decision of the U.S. Supreme Court was to remand
the case (along with eight others) back to the CAFC to
consider its previous decision based on the Supreme
Court’s May 28, 2002 ruling in the Festo case. We deny
any liability or wrongdoing and intend to vigorously
defend the action.

Derivative Litigation Brought on Behalf of the Company:
In re Xerox Derivative Actions: A consolidated putative
shareholder derivative action is pending in the Supreme
Court of the State of New York, County of New York
against several current and former members of the
Board of Directors including William F. Buehler, B.R.
Inman, Antonia Ax:son Johnson, Vernon E. Jordan, Jr.,
Yotaro Kobayashi, Hilmar Kopper, Ralph Larsen,
George J. Mitchell, N.J. Nicholas, Jr., John E. Pepper,
Patricia Russo, Martha Seger, Thomas C. Theobald,
Paul Allaire, G. Richard Thoman, Anne Mulcahy and
Barry Romeril, and KPMG. The plaintiffs purportedly
brought this action in the name of and for the benefit of
the Company, which is named as a nominal defendant, 
and its public shareholders.

The second consolidated amended complaint
alleges that each of the director defendants breached
their fiduciary duties to the Company and its sharehold-
ers by, among other things, ignoring indications of a
lack of oversight at the Company and the existence of
flawed business and accounting practices within the
Company’s Mexican and other operations; failing to
have in place sufficient controls and procedures to
monitor the Company’s accounting practices; knowing-
ly and recklessly disseminating and permitting to be
disseminated, misleading information to shareholders
and the investing public; and permitting the Company
to engage in improper accounting practices. The plain-
tiffs further allege that each of the director defendants
breached his/her duties of due care and diligence in the
management and administration of the Company’s
affairs and grossly mismanaged or aided and abetted
the gross mismanagement of the Company and its
assets. The second amended complaint also asserts
claims of negligence, negligent misrepresentation,
breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty against
KPMG. Additionally, plaintiffs claim that KPMG is liable
to Xerox for contribution, based on KPMG’s share of
the responsibility for any injuries or damages for which

80

Xerox is held liable to plaintiffs in related pending secu-
rities class action litigation. On behalf of the Company,
the plaintiffs seek a judgment declaring that the direc-
tor defendants violated and/or aided and abetted the
breach of their fiduciary duties to the Company and its
shareholders; awarding the Company unspecified
compensatory damages against the director
defendants, individually and severally, together with
pre-judgment and post-judgment interest at the
maximum rate allowable by law; awarding the
Company punitive damages against the director defen-
dants; awarding the Company compensatory damages
against KPMG; and awarding plaintiffs the costs and
disbursements of this action, including reasonable
attorneys’ and experts’ fees. On December 16, 2002, 
the Company and the individual defendants answered
the complaint. The individual defendants deny the
wrongdoing alleged and intend to vigorously defend
the litigation.

Pall v. Buehler, et al.: On May 16, 2002, a shareholder
commenced a derivative action in the United States
District Court for the District of Connecticut against
KPMG. The Company was named as a nominal defen-
dant. Plaintiff purported to bring this action derivatively
in the right, and for the benefit, of the Company. He
contended that he is excused from complying with the
prerequisite to make a demand on the Xerox Board of
Directors, and that such demand would be futile,
because the directors are disabled from making a 
disinterested, independent decision about whether to
prosecute this action. In the original complaint, plaintiff
alleged that KPMG, the Company’s former outside
auditor, breached its duties of loyalty and due care
owed to Xerox by repeatedly acquiescing in, permitting
and aiding and abetting the manipulation of Xerox’s
accounting and financial records in order to improve
the Company’s publicly reported financial results. He
further claimed that KPMG committed malpractice and
breached its duty to use such skill, prudence and dili-
gence as other members of the accounting profession
commonly possess and exercise. Plaintiff claimed that
as a result of KPMG’s breaches of duties, the Company
has suffered loss and damage. On May 29, 2002, plain-
tiff amended the complaint to add as defendants the
present and certain former directors of the Company.
He added claims against each of them for breach of
fiduciary duty, and separate additional claims against
the directors who are or were members of the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors, based upon 
the alleged failure, inter alia, to implement, supervise
and maintain proper accounting systems, controls 
and practices. The amended derivative complaint
demands a judgment declaring that the defendants
have violated and/or aided and abetted the breach of
fiduciary and professional duties to the Company and
its shareholders; awarding the Company unspecified
compensatory damages, together with pre-judgment

and post-judgment interest at the maximum rate allow-
able by law; awarding the Company punitive damages;
and awarding the plaintiff the costs and disbursements
of the action, including reasonable attorneys’ and
experts’ fees. On August 16, 2002, the individual defen-
dants and Xerox filed a motion to dismiss the action.
That motion is currently pending. The individual defen-
dants deny the wrongdoing alleged and intend to vig-
orously defend the litigation.

Lerner v. Allaire, et al.: On June 6, 2002, a shareholder,
Stanley Lerner, commenced a derivative action in 
the United States District Court for the District of
Connecticut against Paul A. Allaire, William F. Buehler,
Barry D. Romeril, Anne M. Mulcahy and G. Richard
Thoman. The plaintiff purports to bring the action
derivatively, on behalf of the Company, which is named
as a nominal defendant. Previously, on June 19, 2001,
Lerner made a demand on the Board of Directors to
commence suit against certain officers and directors 
to recover unspecified damages and compensation
paid to these officers and directors. In his demand,
Lerner contended, inter alia, that management was
aware since 1998 of material accounting irregularities
and failed to take action and that the Company has
been mismanaged. At its September 26, 2001 meeting,
the Board of Directors appointed a special committee
to consider, investigate and respond to the demand. 
In this action, plaintiff alleges that the individual 
defendants breached their fiduciary duties of care and
loyalty by disguising the true operating performance 
of the Company through improper undisclosed
accounting mechanisms between 1997 and 2000. 
The complaint alleges that the defendants benefited
personally, through compensation and the sale of 
company stock, and either participated in or approved
the accounting procedures or failed to supervise ade-
quately the accounting activities of the Company. 
The plaintiff demands a judgment declaring that defen-
dants intentionally breached their fiduciary duties to
the Company and its shareholders; awarding unspeci-
fied compensatory damages to the Company against
the defendants, individually and severally, together
with pre-judgment and post-judgment interest; award-
ing the Company punitive damages; and awarding 
the plaintiff the costs and disbursements of the action,
including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees. On
September 18, 2002, the individual defendants and
Xerox filed a motion to dismiss the action, or alterna-
tively to stay the action pending the disposition of In 
re Xerox Derivative Actions. That motion is currently
pending. The individual defendants deny the wrong-
doing alleged and intend to vigorously defend the 
litigation.

Other Matters: 
Xerox Corporation v. 3Com Corporation, et al.: On April
28, 1997, we commenced an action against Palm™ for
infringement of the Xerox “Unistrokes®” handwriting
recognition patent by the Palm Pilot using “Graffiti®.”
On January 14, 1999, the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office (“PTO”) granted the first of two 3Com/Palm
requests for reexamination of the Unistrokes patent
challenging its validity. The PTO concluded its reexami-
nations and confirmed the validity of all 16 claims of
the original Unistrokes patent. On June 6, 2000, the
judge narrowly interpreted the scope of the Unistrokes
patent claims and, based on that narrow determina-
tion, found the Palm Pilot with Graffiti did not infringe
the Unistrokes patent claims. On October 5, 2000, the
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the
finding of no infringement and sent the case back to
the lower court to continue toward trial on the infringe-
ment claims. On December 20, 2001, the District Court
granted our motions on infringement and for a finding
of validity thus establishing liability. On December 21,
2001, Palm appealed to the CAFC. We moved for a 
trial on damages and an injunction or bond in lieu of
injunction. The District Court denied our motion for a
temporary injunction, but ordered a $50 bond to be
posted to protect us against future damages until 
the trial. Palm issued a $50 irrevocable letter of credit 
in favor of Xerox. In January 2003, after the oral argu-
ment, Palm announced that it would stop including
Graffiti in its future operating systems. On February 20,
2003, the Court of Appeals affirmed the infringement 
of the Unistrokes patent by Palm’s handheld devices
and that Xerox will be entitled to an injunction if the
validity of the patent is favorably determined. It re-
manded the validity issues back to the District Court 
for further validity analysis.

Xerox Corporation v. Business Equipment Research &
Test Laboratories, Inc.: On July 9, 2002, the Company
filed an action in U.S. District Court for the Western
District of New York against Business Equipment
Research & Test Laboratories, Inc. and one of its own-
ers (collectively “BERTL”) alleging libel per se, trade
libel, tortious interference with prospective business
relationship, unfair competition, breach of contract, 
violation of the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act,
deceptive acts and practices and conversion. On
December 11, 2002, Xerox filed an amended complaint,
alleging the same claims with greater specificity. Xerox
seeks unspecified damages, injunctive relief and a
declaratory judgment that Xerox has not infringed
BERTL’s trademarks or copyrights, breached any agree-
ment with BERTL or engaged in unfair competition. 
On January 24, 2003, BERTL filed its answer and 
sixteen counterclaims against Xerox Corporation and
XCL, totaling $53; comprising $33 in compensatory
damages and $20 in punitive damages in the aggregate.
BERTL also moved to dismiss seven of Xerox’s nine

81

claims. BERTL’s counterclaims against Xerox principal-
ly allege infringement of copyrights, appropriation of
trade secrets, defamation and breach of contract. The
Company and XCL deny any wrongdoing and intend to
vigorously pursue the Company’s claims and defend
the counterclaims. Based on the stage of the litigation, 
it is not possible to assess the probable outcome of the
litigation, including the amount of any loss or range of
possible loss that might result from an adverse ruling
on the counterclaim in this matter.

U.S. Attorney’s Office Investigation: As we announced
on September 23, 2002, we learned that the U.S. attor-
ney’s office in Bridgeport, Conn., is conducting an
investigation into matters relating to Xerox. We have
not been advised by the U.S. attorney’s office regard-
ing the nature, scope or timing of the investigation.
We are cooperating and providing documents, as
requested.

Securities and Exchange Commission Investigation
and Review: On April 1, 2002, we announced that we
had reached a settlement with the SEC on the previously
disclosed proposed allegations related to matters that
had been under investigation since June 2000. As a
result, on April 11, 2002, the SEC filed a complaint,
which we simultaneously settled by consenting to the
entry of an Order enjoining us from future violations 
of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections
10(b), 13(a) and 13(b) of the 1934 Act and Rules 10b-5,
12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-13 and 13b2-1 thereunder, requiring
payment of a civil penalty of $10, and imposing other
ancillary relief. We neither admitted nor denied the 
allegations of the complaint. The $10 civil penalty is
included in Other expenses, net in 2002 in the
Consolidated Statement of Income. Under the terms 
of the settlement, in 2001 we restated our financial
statements for the years 1997 through 2000. 

As part of the settlement, a special committee of 
our Board of Directors has retained Michael H. Sutton,
former Chief Accountant of the SEC, as an independent
consultant to review our material accounting controls
and policies. Mr. Sutton commenced his review in 
July 2002. On February 21, 2003, Mr. Sutton delivered
his final report, together with observations and recom-
mendations, to members of the special committee.
According to the terms of the settlement, the special
committee has 60 days to review the report and submit
it to our full Board of Directors and the SEC. Within 60
days of that submission, the Board of Directors must
report to the SEC the decisions taken as a result of the
recommendations.

Other Matters: It is our policy to carefully investigate,
often with the assistance of outside advisers,
allegations of impropriety that may come to our atten-
tion. If the allegations are substantiated, appropriate
prompt remedial action is taken, and where appropri-

82

ate, public disclosure is made. In India, we have
learned of certain improper payments made over a
period of years in connection with sales to government
customers by employees of our now majority-owned
subsidiary in that country. This activity was terminated
when we became aware of it. We have investigated the
activity and reported it to the staff of the SEC and the
Department of Justice, and are cooperating with their
follow-up inquiries. In addition, various agencies of the
Indian government are also investigating the issue. We
do not believe that this matter will have any material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Separately, we learned that less than $200 thousand
was misappropriated from our Indian subsidiary dur-
ing early 2002 which was not properly reflected in our
subsidiary’s books. The matter is currently being inves-
tigated. Certain transactions of our unconsolidated
South African affiliate that appear to have been
improperly recorded as part of an effort to sell supplies
outside of its authorized territory have been investigat-
ed and a report of the results has been received by the
Board of Directors of the South African affiliate.
Disciplinary actions have been taken, and the adjust-
ments to our financial statements were not material.
Following an investigation we have determined that
certain inter-company and other balances in the local
books and records of our majority-owned affiliate in
Nigeria could not be substantiated. The Company’s
records did not reflect these amounts and the local
books have been adjusted to be consistent with them.
This adjustment has had no effect on our financial
statements. This matter has been reported to the SEC
and the Department of Justice. We are in the process of
liquidating (“winding-up”) this company in connection
with the December 2002 sale of our interest in the
Nigerian business to our local partner.

Note 16 — Preferred Securities

As of December 31, 2002, we have four series of out-
standing preferred securities. In total we are authorized
to issue 22 million shares of cumulative preferred
stock, $1 par value.

Convertible Preferred Stock: As more fully discussed 
in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, 
in 1989 we sold 10 million shares of our Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock (“ESOP Shares”) for 
$785 in connection with the establishment of our ESOP.
This debt was repaid in 2002. As employees with vest-
ed ESOP shares leave the Company, we redeem those
shares. We have the option to settle such redemptions
with either shares of common stock or cash, but have
historically settled in common stock.

Outstanding preferred stock related to our ESOP 

at December 31, 2002 and 2001 follows (shares in 
thousands):

Preferred Stock Purchase Rights: We have a share-
holder rights plan designed to deter coercive or unfair
takeover tactics and to prevent a person or persons
from gaining control of us without offering a fair price to
all shareholders. Under the terms of the plan, one-half
of one preferred stock purchase right (“Right”) accom-
panies each share of outstanding common stock. Each
full Right entitles the holder to purchase from us one
three-hundredth of a new series of preferred stock at 
an exercise price of 250 dollars. Within the time limits
and under the circumstances specified in the plan, the
Rights entitle the holder to acquire either our common
stock, the stock of the surviving company in a business
combination, or the stock of the purchaser of our assets,
having a value of two times the exercise price. The
Rights, which expire in April 2007, may be redeemed
prior to becoming exercisable by action of the Board of
Directors at a redemption price of $.01 per Right. The
Rights are non-voting and, until they become exercis-
able, have no dilutive effect on the earnings per share 
or book value per share of our common stock.

Trust II: In 2001, Xerox Capital Trust II (“Capital II”), a
trust sponsored and wholly-owned by us, issued 20.7
million 7.5 percent convertible trust preferred securities
(the “Trust Preferred Securities”) to investors for an
aggregate liquidation amount of $1,035 and 0.6 million
shares of common securities to us for an aggregate 
liquidation amount of $32. With the proceeds from
these securities, Capital II purchased $1,067 aggregate
principal amount of 7.5 percent convertible junior sub-
ordinated debentures due 2021 of Xerox Funding LLC II
(“Funding”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. With
the proceeds from these securities, Funding purchased

$1,067 aggregate principal amount of 7.5 percent con-
vertible junior subordinated debentures due 2021 of
the Company. Capital II’s assets consist principally of
Funding’s debentures, and Funding’s assets consist
principally of our debentures. On a consolidated basis,
we received net proceeds of $1,004, which was net of
$31 of fees and expenses. The initial carrying value is
being accreted to liquidation value through Minorities’
interests in earnings of subsidiaries over three years to
the earliest redemption date. As of December 31, 2002,
the carrying value had accreted to $1,016. We used the
net proceeds from the issuance of our debentures for
general corporate purposes, including the payment of
our indebtedness. Our debentures, along with those 
of Funding, and related income statement effects are
eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.
Distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities are
charged, net of tax, to Minorities’ interests in earnings
of subsidiaries and, together with the accretion noted
above, amounted to $54 after-tax ($89 pre-tax) and $2
after-tax ($4 pre-tax) in 2002 and 2001, respectively. We
have effectively guaranteed, fully and unconditionally,
on a subordinated basis, the payment and delivery by
Funding, of all amounts due on the Funding debentures
and the payment and delivery by Capital II of all amounts
due on the Trust Preferred Securities, in each case to
the extent required under the terms of the securities.
The Trust Preferred Securities accrue and pay cash

distributions quarterly at a rate of 7.5 percent per
annum of the stated liquidation amount of fifty dollars
per trust preferred security. Concurrently, with the initial
issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities, Funding
issued 0.2 million common securities to us, for an
aggregate liquidation amount of $229. Funding used
the proceeds to purchase, and deposit with a pledge,
trustee U.S. treasuries in order to secure Funding’s
obligations under its debentures through the distribu-
tion payment date (November 27, 2004). As of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, the balance of these
securities was $151 and $229, respectively, and is
included in both Other current assets and Other long-
term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The
Trust Preferred Securities are convertible at any time, 
at the option of the investors, into 5.4795 shares of 
our common stock per Trust Preferred Security, sub-
ject to adjustment. The Trust Preferred Securities are
mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the
debentures on November 27, 2021 at fifty dollars per
Trust Preferred Security plus accrued and unpaid distri-
butions. Investors may require us to cause Capital II 
to purchase all or a portion of the Trust Preferred
Securities on December 4, 2004, and November 27,
2006, 2008, 2011 and 2016 at a price of fifty dollars per
Trust Preferred Security, plus accrued and unpaid distri-
butions. In addition, if we undergo a change in control
on or before December 4, 2004, investors may require
us to cause Capital II to purchase all or a portion of the
Trust Preferred Securities. In either case, the purchase

83

price for such Trust Preferred Securities may be paid in
cash or our common stock, or a combination thereof. If
the purchase price or any portion thereof consists of
common stock, investors will receive such common
stock at a value of 95 percent of its then prevailing mar-
ket price. Capital II may redeem all, but not part, of the
Trust Preferred Securities for cash, prior to December 4,
2004, only if specified changes in tax and investment
law occur, at a redemption price of 100 percent of their
liquidation amount plus accrued and unpaid distribu-
tions. On or at anytime after December 4, 2004, Capital
II may redeem all or a portion of the Trust Preferred
Securities for cash at declining redemption prices, with
an initial redemption price of 103.75 percent of their
liquidation amount.

Trust I: In 1997, a trust that we sponsored and wholly-
own, issued $650 aggregate liquidation amount of pre-
ferred securities (the “Original Preferred Securities”) to
investors and 20,103 shares of common securities to
us. The proceeds were invested by the trust in $670
aggregate principal amount of our then newly issued 
8 percent Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2027
(the “Original Debentures”). Pursuant to a registration
statement that we, along with the trust, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in 1997, the
Original Preferred Securities, with an aggregate liqui-
dation preference amount of $644, and the Original
Debentures with a principal amount of $644, were
exchanged for a like amount of preferred securities
(together with the Original Preferred Securities, the
“Preferred Securities”) and 8 percent Junior
Subordinated Debentures due 2027 (together with 
the Original Debentures, the “Debentures”) which 
were registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The
Debentures represent all the assets of the trust. The
Debentures and related income statement effects are
eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

The Preferred Securities accrue and pay cash distri-
butions semiannually at a rate of 8 percent per annum
of the stated liquidation amount of one thousand 
dollars per Preferred Security. These distributions 
are recorded in Minorities’ interests in earnings of sub-
sidiaries in the Consolidated Statements of Income. We
have guaranteed (the “Guarantee”), on a subordinated
basis, distributions and other payments due on the
Preferred Securities. The Guarantee and our
obligations under the Debentures and in the indenture
pursuant to which the Debentures were issued and our
obligations under the Amended and Restated
Declaration of Trust governing the trust, taken together,
provide a full and unconditional guarantee of amounts
due on the Preferred Securities.

The Preferred Securities are mandatorily

redeemable upon the maturity of the Debentures on
February 1, 2027, or earlier to the extent of any
redemption by us of any Debentures. The redemption
price in either such case will be one thousand dollars

84

per share plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the
date fixed for redemption. Total net proceeds were
$637, net of $13 in fees and expenses. The initial carry-
ing value is being accreted to liquidation value over the
remaining term. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001 the
initial carrying value had accreted to $640 and $639,
respectively.

Deferred Preferred Stock: In 1996, a subsidiary of ours
issued 2 million deferred preferred shares for Canadian
(Cdn.) $50 ($37 U.S.). These shares are mandatorily
redeemable on February 28, 2006 for Cdn. $90 (equiva-
lent to $57 U.S. at December 31, 2002). The difference
between the redemption amount and the proceeds
from the issue is being amortized on a straight-line
basis, through the redemption date, to Minorities’ inter-
ests in earnings of subsidiaries in the Consolidated
Statements of Income. As of December 31, 2002, $12
remained to be amortized. We have guaranteed the
redemption value.

Note 17 — Common Stock

We have 1.75 billion authorized shares of common
stock, $1 par value after shareholders approved an
increase of 0.7 billion shares on September 9, 2002. 
At December 31, 2002 and 2001, 127 million and 113
million shares, respectively, were reserved for issuance
under our incentive compensation plans. In addition, at
December 31, 2002, 57 million common shares were
reserved for the conversion of convertible debt, 36 mil-
lion common shares were reserved for conversion of
ESOP-related Convertible Preferred Stock and 113 mil-
lion common shares were reserved for the conversion
of Convertible Trust Preferred Securities.

Stock Option and Long-term Incentive Plans: In
October 2002, we adopted the additional disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 148. See Note 1 for further 
discussion. We have a long-term incentive plan whereby
eligible employees may be granted non-qualified 
stock options, shares of common stock (restricted or
unrestricted) and performance/incentive unit rights.
Beginning in 1998 and subject to vesting and other
requirements, performance/incentive unit rights are
typically paid in our common stock. The value of each
performance/incentive unit is based on the growth in
earnings per share during the year in which granted.
Performance/incentive units ratably vest in the three
years after the year awarded. Compensation expense
recorded for performance/incentive units at December
31, 2000 was $5. No amounts were recorded in 2002
and 2001 as the required 2000 performance/incentive
measures were not met. This plan was discontinued 
in 2001.

We granted 1.6 million, 1.9 million and 0.4 million

shares of restricted stock to key employees for the
years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,

respectively. No monetary consideration is paid by
employees who receive restricted shares. Compen-
sation expense for restricted grants is based upon the
grant date market price and is recorded over the vest-
ing period which on average ranges from one to three
years. Compensation expense recorded for restricted
grants was $17, $15 and $18 in 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

Stock options and rights are settled with newly
issued or, if available, treasury shares of our common

stock. Stock options generally vest in three years and
expire between eight and ten years from the date of
grant. The exercise price of the options is equal to the
market value of our common stock on the effective
date of grant.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, 43.2 million and
39.7 million shares, respectively, were available for
grant of options or rights. The following table provides
information relating to the status of, and changes in,
options granted:

When computing diluted EPS, we are required to
assume conversion of the ESOP preferred shares into
common stock if we are profitable. The conversion
guarantees that each ESOP preferred share be convert-
ed into shares worth a minimum value of $78.25. As
long as our common stock price is above $13.04 per
share, the conversion ratio is 6 to 1. As our share price
falls below this amount, the conversion ratio increases.

Note 18 — Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing
income available to common shareholders (the numer-
ator) by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period.
Diluted earnings per share assumes that any dilutive
convertible preferred shares, convertible subordinated
debentures, and convertible securities outstanding
were converted, with related preferred stock dividend
requirements and outstanding common shares adjust-
ed accordingly. It also assumes that outstanding com-
mon shares were increased by shares issuable upon
exercise of those stock options for which market price
exceeds the exercise price, less shares which could
have been purchased by us with the related proceeds.
In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed
on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclu-
sion of any other potential shares outstanding would
be anti-dilutive.

In addition, the following securities that could poten-
tially dilute basic EPS in the future were not included in
the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would
have been anti-dilutive for 2002, 2001 and 2000 (in

The 2002, 2001 and 2000 computation of diluted 
loss per share did not include the effects of 63 million,
69 million and 58 million issued and outstanding stock
options, respectively, because either: i) their respective
exercise prices were greater than the corresponding
market value per share of our common stock or ii)
where the respective exercise prices were less than the
corresponding market value per share of our common
stock, the inclusion of such options would have been
anti-dilutive.

Note 19 — Financial Statements of
Subsidiary Guarantors

As indicated in Note 11, in January 2002, we completed
an unregistered offering in the U.S. ($600) and Europe
(€225) of 9.75 percent senior notes (the “Senior
Notes”) due in 2009.

The Senior Notes are guaranteed by certain of our
subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantees”), including
Palo Alto Research Center Incorporated, Talegen
Holdings, Inc., Xerox Credit Corporation, Xerox Export,
LLC, Xerox Finance, Inc., Xerox Financial Services, Inc.,
Xerox Imaging Systems, Inc., Xerox International Joint
Marketing, Inc., Xerox Latin-American Holdings, Inc.,
and Xerox Connect, Inc. (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

The Subsidiary Guarantees provide that each
Guarantor Subsidiary will fully and unconditionally
guarantee the obligations of Xerox Corporation (“the
Parent Company”) under the Senior Notes on a joint
and several basis. Each Subsidiary Guarantor is whol-
ly-owned by the Parent Company. The following sup-
plemental financial information sets forth, on a
condensed consolidating basis, the balance sheets,
statements of income and statements of cash flows for
the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the
Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and total consolidated
Xerox Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31,
2002 and 2001 and for the years ended December 31,
2002, 2001 and 2000.

Report of Management 

Report of Independent Accountants 

Our management is responsible for the integrity and
objectivity of all information presented in this annual
report. The consolidated financial statements were
prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America
and include amounts based on management’s best
estimates and judgments.

We maintain an internal control structure designed
to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safe-
guarded against loss or unauthorized use and that
financial records are adequate and can be relied upon
to produce financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. This struc-
ture includes the hiring and training of qualified 
people, written accounting and control policies and
procedures, clearly drawn lines of accountability and
delegations of authority. In a business ethics policy
that is communicated annually to all employees, we
have established our intent to adhere to the highest
standards of ethical conduct in all of our business
activities.

We monitor our internal control structure with
direct management reviews and a comprehensive
program of internal audits. In addition, Pricewater-
houseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, have
audited the 2002, 2001 and 2000 consolidated finan-
cial statements to the extent they considered neces-
sary and have considered the internal controls over
financial reporting in order to determine their audit
procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on our consolidated financial statements.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors,
which is composed solely of outside directors, meets
regularly with the independent accountants, the inter-
nal auditors and representatives of management to
review audits, financial reporting and internal control
matters, as well as the nature and extent of the audit
effort. The Audit Committee also recommends the
engagement of the independent accountants. The
independent accountants and internal auditors have
free access to the Audit Committee.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Xerox
Corporation: 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated 
balance sheets and the related consolidated
statements of income, cash flows and common 
shareholders’ equity present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Xerox Corporation
and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2001,
and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 
of America. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these 
financial statements based on our audits. We 
conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with auditing standards generally 
accepted in the United States of America, which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 
financial statements, assessing the accounting 
principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted 
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets” on January 1, 2002.

1 The amounts reported above have been revised from the amounts originally included in the Form 10-Qs to reflect the correction of interest expense as 

reported in a Form 8-K filed on December 20, 2002. The pre-tax amounts were adjusted to increase expenses by $8 for the first quarter, $9 for the second 
quarter and $10 for the third quarter and increase net loss by $5 for the first quarter and reduce net income by $6 for the second and third quarters.

2 Costs and expenses included restructuring and asset impairment charges of $146, $53, $63 and $408 for the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2002,

respectively. Restructuring and asset impairment charges of $129, $295, $63 and $228 were incurred in the corresponding four quarters of 2001, respectively.

3 The sum of quarterly (loss) earnings per share may differ from the full-year amounts due to rounding, or in the case of diluted earnings per share, because

securities that are anti-dilutive in certain quarters may not be anti-dilutive on a full-year basis.

4 Costs and expenses for the first quarter of 2001 included gains on the sale of half our interest in Fuji Xerox of $769.

2 In March 2001, we sold half of our ownership interest in Fuji Xerox to Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd. for $1.3 billion in cash. In connection with the sale, we recorded

a pre-tax gain of $773. As a result, our ownership percentage decreased from 50 percent to 25 percent. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial
