Fellow shareholders:

I am pleased to report that 2007 was 
another year of steady and solid progress – 
a year in which we continued to strengthen 
the company financially, invest in growth, 
and win in the marketplace.

Our results included:

(cid:135) Net income of $1.1 billion.

(cid:135)  Earnings per share of $1.19, which compares to 2006 earnings per share of  
$1.22. On an adjusted basis, our earnings per share grew 13 percent in 2007*.

(cid:135) Operating cash flow of $1.9 billion.

(cid:135)  Total revenue of $17.2 billion, an increase of $1.3 billion or 8 percent. Excluding  
the benefit of our acquisition of Global Imaging Systems, which we purchased in  
May last year, revenue was up 4 percent in 2007*. 

(cid:135) Investments in strategic acquisitions totaling $1.6 billion.

(cid:135)  And disciplined cost management that kept our gross margins and selling, 

administrative and general costs right in line with our business model.

At the same time, we continued to take steps to build shareholder value. All the  
credit rating agencies rank us as investment grade. We reinstated a dividend. We 
repurchased $631 million in Xerox stock, bringing the total repurchased since 2005  
to $2.1 billion. And, as we entered 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the  
repurchase of an additional $1 billion of Xerox stock.

We feel good about the state of our business. And, we know that consistently delivering 
double-digit earnings per share growth and strong operating cash flow make for the  
best long-term investment. It’s a value proposition we’re strengthening every day.

The numbers, as they say, speak for themselves but they don’t tell the entire story. 
Turnarounds are easy to track and to talk about; transformations evolve more slowly  
and are harder to define. Over the past several years – step by step and brick by  
brick – we have built a new Xerox. 

I believe we are at an inflection point. We have evolved into a services-led technology 
company that is known for innovation and customer focus. We help manage the  
massive flow of information and communication in businesses today. We’re a content 
management provider and a trusted partner that can help our customers make the  
most of their IT infrastructure and bridge the paper and digital worlds.

The Xerox once known for copiers, printers and paper has greatly expanded its footprint. 
New technology and services offerings are generating billions of dollars in recurring 
revenue for us. 

We’ve made some critical strategic bets in the past few years that are now differentiating 
Xerox in the marketplace and fueling our growth. We invested heavily in color, determined 
to be the market leader. We coined the term “The New Business of Printing” and vowed  
to bring digital technology to what was largely the province of offset or lithographic 
printing. We also invested in technology and distribution to aggressively attack the office 
market and expand the business we do with small and mid-size companies. And we vowed 
to become a services-led partner in large enterprises.

I’m not given to exaggeration or hyperbole, but I feel strongly that we have achieved 
considerable success on all four fronts.

We’ve made some critical strategic  
bets in the past few years that are now 
differentiating Xerox in the marketplace 
and fueling our growth.

Accelerating the adoption of color

We’ve led the transition to color from top to bottom across the markets we serve – color 
that’s both the highest quality and highly affordable. Last year, more than 40 billion 
pages were printed on Xerox color systems. That’s an increase of 31 percent over 2006 
and way ahead of our competitors. In fact, according to estimates by InfoTrends, a 
leading independent research firm, Xerox accounts for half of the total worldwide color 
pages printed by high-speed digital systems. 

And, for us, the power really is in the pages. We operate an annuity-based business  
with more than 70 percent of our total revenue coming from recurring revenue streams, 
what we call our “post sale.” This includes interest income from financing our customers’ 
purchases; service, such as technical support as well as consulting and outsourcing 
services; and supplies, like ink, paper and toner. The latter is why pages are so important 
to our business. Post-sale revenue from color pages was up 18 percent year-over-year,  
so we know the model is working. As that continues to grow, so will Xerox. 

Color now accounts for about 39 percent of our total revenue, but only 12 percent of our 
total pages (excluding the benefit of Global Imaging Systems) – indicating a tremendous 
growth opportunity that we’re well positioned to mine. Last year, we shook up the 
marketplace by launching an office printer that makes the cost of printing a color page  
as affordable as black and white. It’s the Phaser® 8860 and it uses our proprietary solid 
ink, cartridge-free technology, minimizing the impact on the environment. We announced 
18 color products in 2007, strengthening what is already the industry’s broadest portfolio 
of digital color printing systems. Look for more worldclass color technology this year – 
technology that promises to widen our significant competitive advantage and generates 
the pages that boost our annuity.

Last year, more than 40 billion pages 
were printed on Xerox color systems,  
an increase of 31 percent and way  
ahead of competitors. 

Driving The New Business of Printing®

Our leadership in digital high-volume printing complements traditional offset printing.  
This market transition is The New Business of Printing. The opportunity for digital 
production printing is about $25 billion, and Xerox’s advantages are the ability to print  
on demand, produce short runs of books, and customize each and every document that 
comes off a digital press. In The New Business of Printing, the Xerox iGen3® Digital 
Production Press continues to be the star performer, but it has a great supporting cast. 
We’ve now installed more than 2,000 iGen3s around the world. Many customers – 126  
to be precise – are printing more than a million pages a month on these market-making 
marvels. Perhaps the best testimony to their success is that 275 of our customers, many  
of whom run commercial print shops, have purchased at least two iGen3s and have seen 
their business soar by offering more digital printing capabilities.

At the same time, we’re seeing accelerated demand for the high end of our DocuColor® 
series and the recently launched Xerox Nuvera® systems. We’re going after the continuous 
feed market with new technology that redefines the industry standards of speed and 
quality and gives us a competitive advantage. And we’re partnering with photo imaging 
companies to use Xerox technology for printing photo applications. In fact, if you order  
a photo calendar from a retailer that works with Fujifilm, the calendar will be printed  
on a Xerox press using Xerox paper. As Xerox leads advancements in quality for digital 
printing, the lines are blurring between the traditional photo imaging business and 
document processing. InfoTrends predicts the specialty photo printing market – that’s 
calendars, greeting cards and photo books – will grow at a rate of 24.5 percent per  
year through 2010, reaching $800 million. Xerox is well on its way to capturing a good 
share of this growth.

Expanding participation in small/medium businesses

We also see great opportunity in the office market where we’re investing heavily to  
win. In 2007, we launched 29 office products that garnered 190 industry awards and 
broadened and deepened our offerings in this highly competitive market. 

At the same time, we acquired Global Imaging Systems, which immediately put some 
1,400 new sales people on the street and brought more than 200,000 new customers  
into the Xerox fold. The acquisition has exceeded our expectations and then some.  
One year ago, this billion-dollar enterprise sold NO Xerox products. By year’s end,  
50 percent of the document technology Global Imaging was selling carried the Xerox 
brand and it is getting better every month. 

In addition, much of Xerox’s 11 percent growth in developing markets has been fueled  
by small and mid-size businesses (SMB). We’ve been increasingly building a competitive 
portfolio of products and services that cater directly to the fast-growing SMB market. 
We’re making inroads with today’s small businesses that may be tomorrow’s large 
enterprises. Xerox wants to be with them every step of the way.

Leading with services

Perhaps the greatest transformation has been in our services business, which quietly  
has become an engine of growth. A few facts make the point. In 2007, the value of 
services signings was up 18 percent. Services generated $3.4 billion in annuity revenue – 
up 8 percent over the previous year. 

Some of the most prestigious enterprises in the world – brands as diverse as United 
Technologies, HSBC, NASA, EUROPART, The University of California, Raytheon Corp., the 
United States Navy, and many, many more – are turning to Xerox for help in simplifying 
work processes, managing their office technology around the world, helping them bridge 
the paper and digital divide and maximizing their investments in information technology. 

We’re constantly expanding our service offerings, especially targeting what we call 
“document-intensive” industries that generate lots of paperwork and digital files.  
Think health care, where filling out forms for each doctor visit is still the norm. Or, the  
legal industry, where documentation can make or break cases. All these documents,  
in any form, need to be managed – scanned, searched, stored and more. And that’s  
where Xerox’s expertise comes in. 

Xerox Annual Report 2007

We like to say that no one knows the document better than Xerox. The ability to manage 
document-intense processes has opened doors to new business and new markets.  
And, it’s why we’re investing in acquisitions that further carve out our niche in this  
space. Last year, we acquired Advectis® Inc. and started Xerox Mortgage Services, which 
provides one of the mortgage industry’s most widely used solutions for sharing electronic 
documents. In 2006, we acquired Amici LLC and launched Xerox Litigation Services to 
become a leading provider of electronic discovery and document services that support 
legal and regulatory compliance. 

So just about everywhere you look there are proof points that our strategy is right,  
our execution focused and our momentum building. That said, Xerox shareholders  
and the management team share a common belief; as good as our progress has been,  
it’s now a part of our history. Yesterday’s accomplishments are only important insofar  
as they provide a bridge to tomorrow’s promise.

Growing the business faster

Accelerating growth in a competitive environment remains a priority. We’re not yet  
where we want to be. Key to expanding growth is expanding our distribution channels.  
It’s the area of improvement where I believe we can make more progress and where  
we are focusing considerable time, talent and resources. We’re advantaged with a  
rich portfolio of technology and services, the industry’s smartest experts in document 
management and a respected brand known around the world. We’re skilled at managing 
global accounts in big businesses and the commercial print market. But to really ratchet 
up growth, we need to reach even more potential customers in businesses of any size. 
Acquiring Global Imaging was a step in the right direction, as was giving our agents and 
resellers access to more Xerox products and packaged services to sell. We need to – and 
we will – take this to the next level now by broadening the availability of the Xerox brand 
through diverse direct and indirect channels. 

To do this well, we’re connecting even more closely with our customers, predicting  
and responding to their needs. It’s no secret that I spend a lot of time with customers.  
So does my entire team. Some of that time is spent fixing problems and some of it selling, 
but most of it is spent listening – really listening. And when you do that, you learn some 
pretty interesting stuff.

The CEOs I meet with – and they are from a wide variety of industries and geographies – 
worry that they are not harnessing new technology to leverage growth and better serve 
their customers. They worry about escalating costs and where to place their IT investment 
bets so they stay ahead of the curve. They see an explosion of digital information in  
their enterprises, but are also confronted with a legacy of paper and don’t know how to 
make sense of it all. They understand the need for information to flow freely and easily 
throughout their organizations and around the world, but worry about security breaches. 

8

They’re eager to embrace the promise of a “greener” world, but don’t know how to 
harness technology to make their infrastructure more sustainable. They are awed by the 
complexity and potential of technology, but yearn for someone to make it all simpler  
and more effective.

Here’s what excites me. In each of these areas – top-line growth and bottom-line 
productivity… bridging the digital and paper domains… making document management 
secure and sustainable… making IT decisions that provide good returns… and making  
a complex world simple – in all these areas Xerox has answers.

Our innovation community is aligned with our strategy and is the best in our industry.  
Last year, Xerox was awarded 584 U.S. utility patents. Together with our research partner 
Fuji Xerox, we hold about 8,600 active U.S. patents and continue to invest $1.4 billion  
a year in research and development. In 2007, we were awarded the National Medal  
of Technology, America’s highest such honor. It’s a singular accomplishment for Xerox 
innovators past and present.

Our product development community is bringing a steady stream of worldclass 
technology to market. In the past three years, we have brought more than 100 new 
products to market. Together with our intelligent software, targeted solutions and tailored 
services, they bring value to our customers today and assure us continued industry 
leadership tomorrow.

Our distribution channels, already the broadest in our industry, are getting stronger.  
We have a powerful blend of direct sales people and indirect agents, concessionaires, 
resellers, dealers and Web-based channels. They have at their disposal a wide array of 
experts in color, production printing, solutions, software, services and more.

Our reach is worldwide, providing a competitive advantage that is unique in our industry. 
We are on the ground in some 160 countries in every corner of the globe. That becomes 
increasingly important as our larger customers want help in designing, implementing and 
maintaining document networks and processes that span the world.

Our annuity business model provides a consistent and profitable revenue stream that 
drives strong cash flow. As I mentioned earlier, more than 70 percent of our revenue 
comes from post-sale. In 2007, we grew post-sale revenue by 9 percent (6 percent 
excluding the benefit of Global Imaging*) and added more than $1 billion to our post-sale 
revenue stream.

Accounting Principles (GAAP) and the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Xerox Annual Report 2007

And our leadership team is my personal pride and joy. It’s a terrific blend of seasoned 
Xerox veterans, some great additions from outside the company and some new leaders 
who have emerged from our own ranks. It’s a team that leads 57,400 Xerox people who 
consistently deliver on their commitments, have grown earnings in the 10 to 15 percent 
range, and are determined to do whatever it takes to be successful. It is a team that  
I am exceptionally proud to lead.

Rest assured that we are hardly satisfied with what we have accomplished. We love 
change and hate the status quo. We embrace challenges and obstacles. We’ve developed 
a culture that I like to call “problem-curious.” We want to grow faster and win more, not by 
a little but by a lot. We pride ourselves on listening intently to our customers, connecting 
with them on a one-to-one basis and committing to finding them the right answer for 
their unique needs – not some of the time but all of the time. You’ll read more about  
just that in this report – how we listen, connect and are committed to you.

Playing offense with high expectations and great opportunities

Our performance in 2008 will be driven by growing our profitable annuity stream – fueled 
by color and services – and continued discipline in managing costs while generating 
significant operating cash flow. And, with our strong balance sheet, we’ll focus on share 
repurchase while being opportunistic in making acquisitions.

We do business in a $125 billion market that has attracted a set of competitors we  
regard with great respect. We know that our customers have choices. We realize that  
the better we get, the higher our customers’ expectations will get.

We are also proud but not content with our record on corporate responsibility. I invite you 
to read our second Report on Global Citizenship. It’s online at www.xerox.com/citizenship. 
You will see that we continue to invest in the communities in which we work and live,  
that our people are active and constructive participants in making our world better, that 
we have one of the most diverse workforces in the world and that we are a leader but 
hardly a newcomer in the fight for a sustainable world and a greener planet.

This Annual Report to Shareholders is the first to carry our new brand identity, which we 
launched the first week of 2008. Companies often use new identities in an aspirational 
way – to signal what they want to become. Our launch is both a statement that we have 
already arrived at a new place and a promise that our journey continues. 

I truly believe that our best days are ahead of us. We are playing to our strengths, 
ushering in a period of great growth for our shareholders, our customers and our people.

So, to sum it all up, here’s why I’m confident Xerox will increase value for you:

10

We operate a global business with about half of our revenue generated from customers 
outside of the U.S. From small and medium businesses and the public sector to large 
enterprises and commercial printers, we serve a wide range of markets – giving us 
diversification globally and in market scope. 

We’re an annuity-based business that continues to boost profitable recurring revenues. 

We’re an investment-grade firm that generates strong cash flow. We’re investing in our 
business and in our stock. 

All of us at Xerox are eager to play offense and to give you a good return on your trust. 
We’re listening, we’re connecting and we’re committed. We know that you, like our 
customers, have choices. You chose Xerox and we take that very seriously. You can be  
sure we will do whatever it takes to continue to earn your trust.

That’s a promise.

What we heard:

“ For printing and related 
services, we need to 
improve efficiency and 
productivity and build  
a platform for continuous 
improvement.”

David Smith, Commercial Director 
U.K. Department for Work and Pensions

Xerox Annual Report 2007

13

U.K. Department  
for Work and Pensions

What we did:

In order to integrate document services 
across all of DWP’s 1,000+ offices 
and eliminate redundancies, Xerox 
assembled a group of leading companies 
in their fields to simplify a fragmented 
supply chain. 

14

How streamlined 
document services are 
streamlining the delivery 
of human services.  

Listening 
As the United Kingdom’s largest 
central and civil government 
department, the Department 
for Work and Pensions (DWP) 
delivers services directly to over 
20 million citizens and pays 
out more than $500 million in 
benefits every year. From “child 
support” to “welfare to work”  
to “pensions management,” it is 
fact that DWP will touch every 
citizen in the U.K. at some time 
during their lifetime.

That amounts to a staggering 
number of records and 
transactions to manage.  
And with the very well-being  
of people in the balance, 
it requires accuracy that 
approaches perfection and 
security that can’t be breached. 

Committed 
Besides drawing from its 
standard portfolio of document 
management services, Xerox 
put in place a dedicated contact 
center and an 80,000-square-
foot warehouse so that all 
document-driven components 
could be ordered and shipped 
from one source.

Says David Smith, DWP’s 
Commercial Director, “The 
approach Xerox and its partners 
have developed is designed to 
ensure that we get real value 
from our partnership and that 
our critical requirements for  
print and associated services are 
met as and when we need them.”

With one-third of a nation 
depending on them every day, 
DWP was not about to settle  
for anything less. 

Connected 
To improve overall service 
delivery, DWP set out to review 
and revamp its entire document 
supply chain. It had two principal 
goals: 1) Make information 
clearer and more easily available 
and accessible to its constituents; 
and 2) Improve efficiency in 
keeping with increasingly vigilant 
government reviews.

Implicit in its goals was the  
need to integrate document 
services across all of its  
1,000+ offices and eliminate  
the redundancies of work 
performed with multiple suppliers 
in individual departments. 

Since it was a tall order for  
any single organization, Xerox 
assembled iON, a partnership  
of leading companies in their 
fields, to integrate transforma-
tion across a fragmented supply 
chain – starting with ordering, 
through procurement and 
production, all the way to final 
delivery to the recipient.

What we heard:

“ If you want to 
communicate something 
important, put it on  
a monthly statement.”

Håkan Larsson, Technical Director 
Strålfors

Strålfors

What we did:

Strålfors and Xerox worked together  
to make individualized customer 
messages come to life in vibrant  
color and on paper that can be light 
enough to keep down mailing costs. 

18

Technology catches up  
with a great approach to 
customer care. 

Listening 
High-speed, continuous-feed 
color printing. It might not 
sound like a warm and fuzzy 
solution to greater customer 
care. But for the high-volume 
customers of Strålfors, one of 
Europe’s preeminent printers 
and managers of information 
logistics, it is the key to touching 
many millions of customers,  
one colorful message at a time. 

For years, banks, insurance 
companies, public utilities and 
telecommunications companies 
have recognized that monthly 
statements and other necessary 
documents are an excellent 
opportunity to market to their 
customers as individuals.

As we heard from Håkan 
Larsson, Strålfors’ Technical 
Director, “If you want to 
communicate something 
important, put it on a monthly 
statement because then it  
will get read.”

Connected 
With non-personalized statement 
inserts being ignored and tossed 
out routinely, why not embed the 
customized marketing messages 
on the statements themselves, 
with vibrant, high-impact color?

Great idea, but no one seemed 
to be doing it without breaking 
the bank, so to speak. That’s 
when Strålfors and Xerox 
joined forces in applying their 
collaborative imagination to  
the opportunity at hand.

Enter the Xerox Color Continuous 
Feed Printing System, with the 
power to make individualized 
messages come to life with  
high-quality color and on paper 
that can be light enough to  
keep down mailing costs.

Committed 
Xerox worked closely with 
Strålfors’ IT, marketing and  
sales people to target its most 
likely customers and devise 
specific strategies for each. 

Now throughout Europe,  
millions of people receive  
need-to-know and nice-to-know 
information suited specifically 
for them. Not in predictable, 
institutional black and white, 
but in “cut through the clutter” 
color. The result is much higher 
readership and response. 

For Strålfors, what began  
many years ago as a great  
idea in customer care has 
become an indispensable  
way of doing business.

What we heard:

“ Customers have to 
validate their paint

they need an accurate 
printout of what  
they’ve selected.”

What we did:

Xerox Phaser® color printers are  
critical links in the process – making  
sure that what customers choose in  
the store accurately matches what  
they want for their home. That step 
requires true, high-quality printouts  
of the colors selected.

22

Helping do-it-yourselfers 
validate the right paint 
color, every time.

Listening 
Embedded in every store of 
The Home Depot® in North 
America (and in parts of Asia), 
ColorSmart by BEHR™ kiosks 
have revolutionized how  
do-it-yourselfers choose colors 
for their painting projects.

The interactive color-
coordination system allows 
people to select paint colors  
that complement their samples 
of existing paint, fabric and 
other materials. Then, using 
a video monitor to guide 
them, they can create a virtual 
environment featuring the 
colors they have chosen, and 
experiment with others.

The critical link in the process  
is validating the customers’ color 
choices – by providing quality 
color prints they can take home 
as a reference of their selected 
color schemes. And that’s where 
Xerox comes in.

Connected 
“When it comes to their 
surroundings, people don’t  
want to make mistakes,” says 
Mary Rice, VP, Marketing,  
Paint-Color-Interactive at Behr. 
“They need to take more than  
a paint chip back into the home 
to confirm they’ve made the 
right choice.”

In other words, what’s the best 
way to bring a true color to  
the printed page, so it can  
be tested at home? For Behr, 
the choice was an easy one: the 
Xerox Phaser® 8500 color printer, 
whose solid-ink technology is 
extraordinary in its simulation of 
the entire range of paint colors.

The added advantage of Xerox’s 
proprietary solid ink: cartridge-
free ink sticks mean less waste 
and less space needed to keep 
an ample supply on hand.

Not only does this Xerox 
technology facilitate what  
is perhaps the most critical 
element in the buying process,  
it does so in a challenging 
environment. Not the refined 
confines of an office, but  
the robust, let’s-get-it-done 
arena of home improvement.  
Behr needed a partner that 
under stood the difference  
and could deliver the required 
quality, again and again.

Committed 
Xerox provided expertise to 
Behr in the design of a rugged 
kiosk cabinet that would keep 
out excessive dust particles and 
would also be easy to reload 
with paper and ink. The cabinet 
design helps the printer remain 
reliable, no matter how often 
it is used and regardless of the 
store environment. Without such 
a commitment to this critical 
step in the process, the buying 
decision could be compromised 
and the Behr brand impacted.

Xerox, usually behind the scenes, 
specializes in making customers 
look good in the eyes of their 
customers. Maybe that’s part  
of the reason Behr is one of  
The Home Depot’s Partners of 
the Year in paint and stain.

What we heard:

“ Packaging is as much  
our product as what our 
customers put in their 
gardens or in their  
living rooms. It’s got  
to be top-flight.”

What we did:

color technology that delivers  
the quality, reliability and speed  
small businesses need to showcase  
their company.

26

Helping to grow  
a growing business. 

Listening 
Potting Shed Creations’ business 
is growing, in many more ways 
than one. Gardeners, interior 
decorators, landscape designers 
and gift-givers have come to rely 
on the company for an array of 
organic bulbs, plants and seeds.

From a converted school  
in Idaho’s panhandle,  
the business has gone global 
through specialty distributors 
and selling online at  
www.pottingshedcreations.com.

One of its main reasons for 
success? Packaging. Imaginative, 
decorative, enticing, eco-friendly 
packaging. Who can resist the 
seeds for a scatter garden when 
they come adorned with birds, 
butterflies and bows?

The question to us was how 
Xerox technology could make 
their continued growth just  
as irresistible.

Connected 
People tend to think of Xerox 
when they think of large 
companies. True enough. But  
we also bring all that is Xerox  
to businesses that are modest  
in size but thinking big. 

Potting Shed Creations is a 
perfect example. Since pack ag ing 
is such an integral part of their 
success, they recognized that 
their labels – works of art in 
themselves – needed vibrant 
color, but at a cost the company 
could afford.

With orders for one of their 
products running from just  
a few to many hundreds at  
any given time, they also  
needed flexibility that only  
an easy-to-use office printer  
can provide. That meant the 
ability to print labels, brochures 
and other materials that are  
high in quality and low in cost.

Committed 
Potting Shed Creations chose 
Xerox color laser printers to get 
the job done. The reliable Xerox 
technology adds the speed, 
adaptability and affordability 
that a nimble, fast-paced small 
business needs.

The result for Potting Shed 
Creations has been profitable 
growth today with plenty of 
room to grow in the future. With 
the industry’s broadest portfolio 
of color technology, we’re in a 
unique position to do the same 
for any business of any size.

Our business

We are a $17.2 billion technology and services 
enterprise and a leader in the global document 
market. We develop, manufacture, market, service and 
fi nance a complete range of document equipment, 
software, solutions and services.

Overview 

References in this section to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Xerox” refer to Xerox 
Corporation and its subsidiaries unless the context specifi cally states or implies otherwise.

The document industry is transitioning to digital systems, to color, and to an increased 
reliance on electronic documents. More and more, businesses are creating and storing 
documents digitally and using the Internet to exchange electronic documents. We believe 
these trends play to the strengths of our product and service offerings and represent 
opportunities for future growth in the $125 billion market we serve.

In our core markets of Production and Offi ce, we are well-positioned to lead in this large 
and growing market through our four growth planks:

• Accelerate the adoption of color

• Lead with services in large enterprises

• Drive the New Business of Printing®

• Expand participation in small/mid-size business market

30

We serve a $125 billion market

(in billions)

This estimate, and the market estimates that follow, is 
calculated by leveraging third-party forecasts from fi rms 
such as International Data Corporation and InfoSource in 
conjunction with our assumptions about our markets.

■  $76 Offi ce
We are well positioned to capture growth 
by leading the transition to color and by 
reaching new customers with our broad 
offerings and expanded distribution channels. 

■  $24 Services
Our value-added services deliver solutions 
that not only optimize enterprise output 
spend and infrastructure, but also streamline, 
simplify and digitize our customers’ 
document-intensive business processes.

■  $17 Eligible offset
We are creating new market opportunities 
in targeted application areas with digital 
printing as a complement to traditional 
offset printing.

■  $8 Production 
We are the only provider in the market that 
offers a complete family of monochrome 
and color production systems, business 
development tools and workfl ow solutions.

Color is the fastest growing portion of our market, and we estimate that it represents 
$27 billion of the market opportunity. Economic and quality improvements in color are 
driving the market transition to color. We have the broadest color portfolio in the industry 
and our leading technologies, such as solid ink, position us well to participate in this 
transition and accelerate the adoption of color. At the same time, we continue to compete 
to capture growth opportunities within the black-and-white segment of our core markets, 
which we estimate is a $58 billion market.

We are growing our core markets by leading with document management services (also 
referred to as Xerox Global Services), which is the combination of managed services and 
value-added services. We have organized our document management services around 
three offerings: 

1) Xerox Offi ce Services, where we help our customers reduce costs and improve 
productivity by optimizing their global print infrastructure through analyzing the most 
effi cient ways to create and share documents in the offi ce; 

2) Document Outsourcing and Communication Services, which focuses on optimizing 
the production environment as well as operating in-house production centers; and 

3) Business Process Services, where we show our customers how to use digital workfl ow 
to re-engineer their business processes and develop online document repositories.

Our business

We are creating new market opportunities with digital printing as a complement to 
traditional offset printing through a market transition we call “The New Business of 
Printing”. We are driving the New Business of Printing opportunity by identifying 
applications which are suitable for digital production and represent what we refer to 
as the “eligible offset” market. With our leading business development tools, workfl ow 
and digital technology, led by our market-making Xerox iGen3® technology, we are 
uniquely positioned to meet the increasing demand for short-run, customized and 
quick-turnaround offset quality printing. 

Over the past year we have scaled up our presence in the small and mid-size business 
(SMB) market, most notably through our acquisition of Global Imaging Systems, Inc. 
(GIS). This increased distribution capacity, along with a strong product portfolio in this 
segment, is expanding our participation in SMB and opening up new growth 
opportunities.

Our products include high-end printing and publishing systems; digital multifunctional 
devices (MFDs) which can print, copy, scan and fax; digital copiers; laser and solid ink 
printers; fax machines; document-management software; and supplies such as toner, 
paper and ink. We provide software and workfl ow solutions with which businesses can 
easily and affordably print books, create personalized documents for their customers, 
and scan and route digital information.

Our business model is an annuity model where post sale and fi nancing revenue growth 
is driven by increasing equipment installations which increases the number of page 
producing machines in the fi eld (MIF) and expanding the document management 
services we offer our customers. 72% of our 2007 total revenue was post sale and 
fi nancing revenue that includes equipment maintenance and consumable supplies, 
among other elements. We sell the majority of our equipment through sales-type 
leases that we record as equipment sale revenue. Equipment sales represented 28% 
of our 2007 total revenue. 

32

Revenue stream

■  28%
Approximately 28% of our revenue comes 
from equipment sales, from either lease 
arrangements that qualify as sales for 
accounting purposes or outright cash sales. 

■  72%
The remaining 72% of our revenue, “Post 
sale and fi nancing,” includes annuity-based 
revenue from maintenance, services, supplies 
and fi nancing, as well as revenue from rentals 
and operating lease arrangements.

The number of equipment installations is a key indicator of post sale and fi nancing 
revenue trends as is the growth in document management services. The mix of color 
pages is another signifi cant indicator of post sale revenue trends because color pages 
use more consumables per page than black-and-white. In addition, expanding our 
market, particularly within the eligible offset market, is key to increasing pages and 
we have leading tools and resources to develop this large market opportunity.

Our business

We made two acquisitions in 2007: A provider of 
offi ce technology for small and mid-size businesses 
in the U.S. and a provider of a web-based solution to 
electronically manage mortgage loan documents.

Acquisitions

To further our business goals, in 2007 we completed the acquisitions of GIS, a provider of 
offi ce technology for small and mid-size businesses in the United States, and Advectis®, Inc. 
(Advectis), a provider of a web-based solution that electronically manages the process to 
underwrite, audit, collaborate, deliver and archive mortgage loan documents. GIS focuses 
on the SMB market through 22 regional core companies in the U.S. that sell and service 
document management systems. With the GIS acquisition, we increased our distribution 
capacity in the SMB market in the U.S. by approximately 50%, where the total opportunity 
for document-related offerings is estimated at $16 billion. GIS currently serves about 
200,000 customers with about 1,400 sales representatives and 1,700 service technicians. 
Since acquiring GIS, they acquired four additional companies in 2007, further expanding 
our distribution. In addition, as of the fourth quarter of 2007, roughly half of GIS 
equipment available for sale was Xerox equipment compared to none a year ago.

Advectis’ web-based BlitzDocs Collaboration Suite helps users reduce costs associated with 
the lending process, deliver better services, decrease credit risk and build a competitive 
advantage in capturing new loan applications. Advectis, now branded Xerox Mortgage 
Services, similar to our acquisition last year of Amici, expands our business process services 
capabilities into yet another vertical document intensive area.

Segment information 

Our reportable segments are Production, Offi ce, Developing Markets Operations (DMO), 
and Other. We present operating segment fi nancial information in Note 2-Segment 
Reporting in the Consolidated Financial Statements, which we incorporate by reference 
here. We have a very broad and diverse base of customers, both geographically and 
demographically, ranging from SMB to graphic communications companies, governmental 
entities, educational institutions and large (Fortune 1,000) corporate accounts. None 
of our business segments depends upon a single customer, or a few customers, the loss 
of which would have a material adverse effect on our business. 

Beginning in 2008, we will not report DMO results in a separate segment, but will 
include their results within our Offi ce, Production and Other segments. More details on 
this change are included on page 68 within the Segment Reporting Change section 
of the Management Discussion and Analysis in our 2007 Annual Report.

Our business

Production 

We provide high-end digital monochrome and color systems designed for customers in the 
graphic communications industry and for large enterprises. These high-end devices enable 
digital on-demand printing, digital full-color printing, and enterprise printing. We are the 
only manufacturer in the market that offers a complete family of cut sheet monochrome 
production systems from 65 to 288 pages per minute (ppm), color production systems 
from 40 to 110 ppm, and a complete line of continuous feed printers from 250 to 1,064 
ppm. In addition, we offer a variety of pre-press and post-press options and the industry’s 
broadest set of workfl ow software. 

With our Freefl ow™ digital workfl ow collection, our customers can improve all aspects of 
their processes, from content creation and management to production and fulfi llment. 
Our digital technology, combined with total document solutions and services that enable 
personalization and printing on demand, delivers value that improves our customers’ 
business results. 

Our 2007 Production goals

Our 2007 goals for our Production segment were to continue strengthening our leadership 
position in monochrome and color and to build on the power of digital printing in the 
eligible offset market. Our “New Business of Printing” strategy complements the traditional 
offset market and continues to transform our industry. We are enabling print providers 
in graphic communications and large enterprises to profi t and grow by meeting their 
customers’ specifi c business needs with just-in-time, one-to-one and e-based services – 
rather than simply manufacturing a printed piece. Having the right business model, the 
right workfl ow, and the right technology are fundamental to this transformation.

In 2007 we launched an application-focused program to assist our customers implement 
solutions in four major categories. The “Can Do” program provides our customers live 
end-to-end applications for: Collaterals by Request, Books, Transactional/Promotional 
and Direct Mail.

We continued to increase installations of our fl agship Digital Color Production Presses. 
In April 2007, according to estimates by InfoTrends, a leading independent research 
fi rm, Xerox’s installed base of DocuColor and iGen3 presses accounted for approximately 
50 percent of the total worldwide page volume printed by high speed production 
color printers. We are the industry leader in the number of pages produced on digital 
production color presses, with our fl agship Xerox iGen3 Digital Production Press and 
DocuColor® Digital Presses.

In 2007, we continued to build on our unmatched product breadth, world class market 
and business development tools and integrated end-to-end applications. Below are some 
of the key accomplishments that enabled us to reach our goals:

Our 2007 Offi ce goals 

Our 2007 Offi ce goals were to drive the transition to color in the offi ce, to extend our 
market reach, particularly in the SMB market, and to continue to expand our Offi ce Services 
business. We aimed to broaden our product line and complement our industry-leading 
product offerings with expanded distribution to increase our machines-in-fi eld (MIF) and 
capture more pages, building the foundation for future post sale revenue growth. 

We continued to drive color in our Offi ce segment by signifi cantly enhancing our already 
strong color product portfolio, making color more affordable, easier to use, faster and 
more reliable. The breadth of our color product portfolio is unmatched. Our color-capable 
laser devices provide an attractive color entry point, our patented solid ink technology 
offers unmatched ease of use, vibrant color image quality and economic color run costs, 
and our top of the line color laser products provide superior image quality coupled with 
industry-leading productivity and reliability. Below are some of the key accomplishments

in a full production press.

•  WorkCentre 7232/7242 – In September, we continued to bring affordable color to 

the offi ce with the WorkCentre 7232 and 7242 color-capable multi-function products. 
The 7232 is capable of printing 10 ppm color and 32 ppm black-and-white, while the 
7242 increases the black-and-white productivity to 40 ppm.

•  WorkCentre 7675 – In September, we introduced the WorkCentre 7675, offering color 
pages at 50 ppm and black-and-white pages at 75 ppm. The 7675 provides superior 
image quality, excellent productivity, extensive media handling and professional in-line 
fi nishing capabilities.

•  Phaser 8860 – Launched in September, this is the fi rst printer to feature the next 

generation of Xerox’s solid ink technology, enabling us to bring affordable color to 
offi ces of any size. The new solid ink dramatically lowers the cost of color prints enabling 
Xerox to offer innovative pricing, giving our customers ‘color for the price of black-and-
white’. The 8860 operates at print speeds as fast as 30 ppm in color and black-and-white 
and is offered in both standalone printer and multifunction confi gurations.

We completely refreshed the core of our black-and-white multifunction series, further 
strengthening our position.

•  WorkCentre 5632/5638/5645/5655/5665/5675 – Introduced in August, the 5600 
product family refreshed the entire black-and-white multifunction product line in the 
Segments 3–5 market. 

•  Xerox 4595 Digital Copier/Printer – Introduced in April, the 4595 is a high-volume, 

black-and-white copier/printer to meet the continuing need for high volume monochrome 
offi ce printing. With scanning speeds up to 100 ppm and print and copy speeds up to 
95 ppm, this system is a true workhorse for high-volume environments such as offi ce 
workgroups, and educational and fi nancial institutions. The Xerox 4595 is also available 
with the light-production fi nisher for a full range of output choices.

•  Extensible Interface Platform – Announced in October 2006, Xerox’s Extensible Interface 

Platform (EIP) is a software platform developers can use to create server-based 
applications for multifunction devices and that can be confi gured for the MFD’s touch-
screen user interface. Using this interface, workers can enter a password or use a secure 
smart card at the MFD and access a set of features and options designed specifi cally for 
their business needs. A wide range of document management and workfl ow software 
has already been developed by Xerox and its Alliance Partners to help organizations 
manage costs, boost productivity and improve effi ciency. In 2007, Xerox expanded 
the worldwide implementation of this platform including it on all major workgroup 
and departmental MFD introductions.

DMO 

DMO includes the marketing, sales and servicing of Xerox products, supplies, and 
services in Latin America, Brazil, the Middle East, India, Eurasia and Central-Eastern 
Europe and Africa. 

In countries with developing economies, DMO manages the Xerox business through 
operating companies, subsidiaries, joint ventures, product distributors, affi liates, 
concessionaires, value-added resellers and dealers. Our two-tiered distribution model 
has proven very successful in the high-growth geographies of Russia and Central-
Eastern Europe. Our 2007 DMO goals included revenue growth, a continued focus 
on improving the entire cost base and providing a foundation for profi table growth. 

Other 

The Other segment primarily includes revenue from paper sales, value-added 
services, wide-format systems and GIS network integration solutions and electronic 
presentation systems.

We sell cut-sheet paper to our customers for use in their document processing products. 
The market for cut-sheet paper is highly competitive and revenues are signifi cantly 
affected by pricing. Our strategy is to charge a premium over mill wholesale prices, which 
is adequate to cover our costs and the value we add as a distributor, as well as to provide 
unique products that enhance the “New Business of Printing” and color output. 

An increasingly important part of our offering is value-added services, which uses our 
document industry knowledge and experience. Our value-added services deliver solutions 
that optimize our customers’ document output and infrastructure costs while streamlining, 
simplifying, and digitizing their document-intensive business processes. In October 2007, 
we acquired Advectis, a provider of a web-based solution that electronically manages the 
process to underwrite, audit, collaborate, deliver and archive mortgage loan documents. 
In July 2006 we acquired Amici, a provider of web-based electronic discovery (E-discovery) 
services, primarily supporting litigation and regulatory compliance. Often our value-added 
services solutions lead to larger managed services contracts which include our equipment, 
supplies, service, and labor. We report the revenue from managed services contracts in 
the Production, Offi ce, or DMO segments. In 2007, the combined value-added services 
and managed services revenue, including equipment, totaled $3.8 billion.

In our wide-format systems business, we offer document processing products and 
devices designed to reproduce large engineering and architectural drawings up to three 
feet by four feet in size.

■  $9,078 U.S.

■  $5,888 Europe

Revenues by geography based on the location of the 
unit reporting the revenue and includes export sales. 
About 50% of our revenue is generated from customers 
outside the U.S.

Revenue

We sell the majority of our products and services under bundled lease arrangements, in 
which our customers pay a monthly amount for the equipment, maintenance, services, 
supplies and fi nancing over the course of the lease agreement. These arrangements are 
benefi cial to our customers and us since, in addition to customers receiving a bundled 
offering, these arrangements allow us to maintain the customer relationship for future 
sales of equipment and services. 

We analyze these arrangements to determine whether the equipment component meets 
certain accounting requirements such that the equipment fair value should be recorded as 
a sale at lease inception, that is, a sales-type lease. We allocate the remaining portion of 
the monthly minimum payments to the various elements of the lease based on fair value 
– service, maintenance, supplies and fi nancing – that we generally recognize over the term 
of the lease agreement, and that we report as “post sale and other revenue” and “fi nance 
income” revenue. In those arrangements that do not qualify as sales-type leases, which 
have increased as a result of our services-led strategy, we recognize the entire monthly 
payment over the term of the lease agreement, whether rental or operating lease, and 
report it in “post sale and other revenue.” Our accounting policies for revenue recognition 
for leases and bundled arrangements are included in Note 1-Summary of Signifi cant 
Accounting Policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2007 Annual Report.

Research and development 

Investment in R&D is critical for competitiveness in Xerox’s fast-paced markets where 
more than two-thirds of our equipment sales are from products launched during the 
past two years. 

Xerox’s R&D drives innovation and customer value by: 

• Creating new differentiated products and services.

• Enabling cost competitiveness through disruptive products and services.

• Enabling new ways to serve customers.

• Creating new business opportunities to drive future growth by reaching new customers.

Xerox Annual Report 2007

43

Our business

Our R&D is strategically coordinated with that of 
Fuji Xerox, which invested $672 million in R&D in 2007, 
$660 million in 2006 and $720 million in 2005.

To ensure our success, we have aligned our R&D investment portfolio with our strategic 
planks: accelerating the color transition, driving the “New Business of Printing®”, 
enhancing customer value by leading with services and expanding our participation 
in the SMB market. 2007 R&D spending focused primarily on the development of high-
end business applications to drive the “New Business of Printing®”, extending our color 
capabilities, expanding our services offerings and delivering lower-cost platforms and 
customer productivity enablers. The Xerox iGen3, an advanced next-generation digital 
printing press that produces photographic-quality prints indistinguishable from offset, 
the Xerox Nuvera 288 Digital Perfecting System that boasts the fastest (288 duplex 
impressions per minute) digital duplex monochrome cut-sheet printer in the industry 
and Xerox’s proprietary Solid Ink technology for the offi ce are examples of the type of 
breakthrough technology we developed and that we expect will drive future growth. 
Sustaining engineering expenses, which are the hardware engineering and software 
development costs we incur after we launch a product are included in our R,D&E expenses. 
We are incorporating by reference the amounts spent for research, development and 
engineering for 2007, 2006 and 2005 that are included in Note 1-Summary of Signifi cant 
Accounting Policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2007 Annual Report.

Patents, trademarks and licenses 

We are a technology company. Including our Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) 
subsidiary, we were awarded 584 U.S. utility patents in 2007. We were ranked 33rd on 
the list of companies that were awarded the most U.S. patents during the year and would 
have been ranked 27th with the inclusion of PARC patents. Including our research partner, 
Fuji Xerox Co., Limited, we were awarded over 900 U.S. utility patents in 2007. Our patent 
portfolio evolves as new patents are awarded to us and as older patents expire. As of 
December 31, 2007, we held approximately 8,600 design and utility U.S. patents. These 
patents expire at various dates up to 20 years or more from their original fi ling dates. 
While we believe that our portfolio of patents and applications has value, in general no 
single patent is essential to our business or any individual segment. In addition, any of our 
proprietary rights could be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented or may not provide 
signifi cant competitive advantages. 

In the U.S., we are party to numerous patent-licensing agreements and, in a majority 
of them, we license or assign our patents to others, in return for revenue and/or access 
to their patents. Most of the patent licenses expire concurrently with the expiration of 
the last patent identifi ed in the license. In 2007, including our PARC subsidiary, we added 
9 agreements to our portfolio of patent licensing agreements, and either we or our PARC 
subsidiary was a licensor in 7 of the agreements. We also have a number of cross-licensing 
agreements with companies with substantial patent portfolios, including Canon, Microsoft, 
IBM, Hewlett Packard, Océ and Sharp. Those agreements vary in subject matter, scope, 
compensation, signifi cance and time. 

In the U.S., we own approximately 550 trademarks, either registered or applied for. These 
trademarks have a perpetual life, subject to renewal every ten years. We vigorously enforce 
and protect our trademarks. 

Competition 

Although we encounter aggressive competition in all areas of our business, we are the 
leader or among the leaders in each of our principal business segments. Our competitors 
range from large international companies to relatively small fi rms. We compete primarily 
on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality, reliability, brand, distribution, 
and customer service and support. To remain competitive we invest in and develop new 
products and services and continually improve our existing offerings. Our key competitors 
include Canon, Ricoh, IKON, Hewlett-Packard, and, in certain areas of the business, Pitney 
Bowes, Kodak, Océ, Konica-Minolta and Lexmark. We believe that our brand recognition, 
reputation for document knowledge and expertise, innovative technology, breadth of 
product offerings, global distribution channels, customer relationships and large customer 
base are important competitive advantages. We and our competitors continue to develop 
and market new and innovative products at competitive prices, and, at any given time, 
we may set new market standards for quality, speed and function.

Our business

We operate in more than 
160 countries worldwide.

Xerox develops, manufactures, markets and 
supports document management systems, 
supplies, and services through a variety 
of distribution channels around the world.

■  Xerox North America
Xerox North America operates across the 
United States and Canada.

■  DMO

across Europe.

■  Fuji Xerox
Fuji Xerox, an unconsolidated entity of which 
we own 25%, develops, manufactures, and 
distributes document management systems, 
supplies and services.

The Xerox brand is a valuable resource 
and continues to be recognized in the top 
ten percent of all U.S. brands.

Marketing and distribution 

We manage our business based on the principal business segments described earlier. 
However, we have organized the marketing and selling of our products and solutions 
according to geography and channel types. We sell our products and solutions directly 
to customers through our worldwide sales force and through a network of independent 
agents, dealers, value-added resellers and systems integrators. We use our direct sales force 
to address our customers’ more advanced technology, solutions and services requirements, 
and use cost-effective indirect distribution channels for basic product offerings. 

46

In large enterprises, we follow a services led approach that allows us to address two 
basic challenges facing large enterprises: 

1) How to optimize their infrastructure to be both cost effective and globally consistent. 

2) How to improve their value proposition and communication with their customers. 

In response to these needs, we bring a go-to-market approach that leads with the largest 
direct sales and service delivery force in the industry available on a globally consistent 
manner. This can range from hardware, software or services in whatever combination is 
necessary to meet the needs of that customer. 

In 2007 we substantially increased our distribution capabilities to the SMB market in 
the U.S. through our acquisition of GIS. GIS has a proven track record of delivering value 
to customers in the SMB market through a decentralized management structure that 
emphasizes local customer connections and empowerments. We have maintained that 
operating structure and approach. GIS, which had previously not distributed Xerox 
products, now brings Xerox product options to a segment of the market where we were 
previously underrepresented. GIS was built up over the years through acquisitions and 
now operates in 32 states in the U.S. In 2007 GIS acquired six additional companies, 
four after our acquisition of GIS, and going forward we will continue to support GIS in 
expanding its footprint.

Our business

We market our Phaser line of color and monochrome laser-class and solid ink printers 
primarily through offi ce information technology industry resellers, who typically access 
our products through distributors. In 2007, we expanded our distribution partnerships 
in North America by recruiting an expanded set of information technology resellers and 
enhancing our network of independent agents. We also continued to increase the product 
offerings available through a two-tiered distribution model in Europe and DMO. 

We are increasing our use of partners to expand our market coverage. Through reseller 
alliances with Fujifi lm Graphics Systems and Fujifi lm Imaging Systems, we distribute our 
production products to graphic communications customers and the photo market industries. 
In 2007 we signed a contract with Fujifi lm Graphics Systems in Europe to compliment the 
contracts in the U.S. and Canada. We have launched in six western European countries and 
will continue to expand throughout 2008. We also signed a reseller contract with Fujifi lm 
Imaging Systems in both the U.S. and Canada to enable a channel for production products 
that support the digital photo specialty application market. We also have an alliance with 
Electronic Data Systems (EDS) which is designed to integrate EDS’ information technology 
(IT) services with our document management systems and services to provide customers 
with full IT infrastructure support. Overall, through The Xerox Connection partner program, 
we have over 125 partners who work with us to provide solutions.

In Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, and parts of Asia, we distribute our products 
through Xerox Limited, a company established under the laws of England, and related 
non-U.S. companies all of which we refer to as Xerox Limited. Xerox Limited enters into 
distribution agreements with unaffi liated third parties covering distribution of our 
products in some of the countries located in these regions, and previously entered into 
agreements with unaffi liated third parties covering distribution of our products in Iran, 
Sudan, and Syria. Iran, Sudan, and Syria, among others, have been designated as state 
sponsors of terrorism by the U.S. Department of State and are subject to U.S. economic 
sanctions. We maintain an export and sanctions compliance program and believe that 
we have been and are in compliance with U.S. laws and government regulations for these 
countries. In addition, we had no assets, liabilities, or operations in these countries other 
than liabilities under the distribution agreements. After observing required prior notice 
periods, Xerox Limited terminated its distribution agreements related to Sudan and Syria 
in August 2006 and terminated its distribution agreement related to Iran in December 
2006, and now has only legacy obligations such as providing spare parts and supplies 
to these third parties. In 2007, we had total revenues of $17.2 billion, of which approxi-
mately $7.7 million was attributable to Iran and less than $0.25 million in total was 
attributable to Sudan and Syria. As a result of the termination of these agreements, 
we anticipate that our revenues attributable to these countries will decline.

In January 2006, Xerox Limited entered into a fi ve-year distribution agreement with 
an unaffi liated third party covering distribution of our products in Libya. Libya is also 
designated as a state sponsor of terrorism by the U.S. Department of State. The decision 
to enter into this distribution agreement was made in light of recent U.S. federal govern-
ment actions that have lifted the countrywide embargo previously imposed on Libya. 
Our sales in Libya through this distribution agreement will be subject to our export and 
sanctions compliance program and will be according to the U.S. laws and government 
regulations that relate to Libya. 

48

Globally, we have 57,400 direct employees

We have over 7,500 Sales Professionals, 
over 13,400 Managed Service Employees 
at customer sites and over 13,000 Technical 
Service Employees.  In addition, we have 
over 7,000 Agents and Concessionaires and 
over 10,000 resellers.

Service

As of December 31, 2007, we had a worldwide service force of approximately 13,000 
employees and an extensive variable contract service force. We are expanding our use of 
cost-effective remote service technology for basic product offerings while utilizing our direct 
service force and a variable contract service force to address customers’ more advanced 
technology requirements. The increasing use of a variable contract service force is 
consistent with our strategy to reduce service costs while maintaining high-quality levels of 
service. We believe that our service force represents a signifi cant competitive advantage in 
that the service force is continually trained on our products and their diagnostic equipment 
is state-of-the-art. We offer service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in major metropolitan 
areas around the world, providing a consistent and superior level of service worldwide.

Manufacturing and supply 

We are currently in the fi rst year of a 2007 master supply agreement with Flextronics, 
a global electronics manufacturing services company, to outsource portions of 
manufacturing for our Offi ce segment. The agreement is for three years with two 
additional one-year extension periods at our option. Our inventory purchases from 
Flextronics currently represent approximately 20% of our overall worldwide inventory 
procurement. We have agreed to purchase from Flextronics some products and 
consumables within specifi ed product families. Flextronics must acquire inventory in 
anticipation of meeting our forecasted requirements and must maintain suffi cient 
manufacturing capacity to satisfy these requirements. Under certain circumstances, 
we may be obligated to purchase inventory that remains unused for more than 
180 days or becomes obsolete, or on the termination of the supply agreement. 

We acquire other offi ce products from various third parties, to increase the breadth of 
our product portfolio, and to meet channel requirements. We also have arrangements 
with Fuji Xerox under which we purchase some products from and sell other products 
to Fuji Xerox. Some of these purchases and sales are the result of mutual research and 
development arrangements. Our remaining manufacturing operations are primarily 
located in Rochester, New York and Dundalk, Ireland for our high-end production products 
and consumables, and in Wilsonville, Oregon for solid ink products, consumable supplies, 
and components for our Offi ce segment products. 

In 2007 Xerox opened a $60 million emulsion aggregation (EA) toner plant in Webster, 
New York. EA toner was developed by Xerox and is protected by more than 300 patents. 
EA toner is chemically grown enabling the size, shape and structure of the particles to 
be precisely controlled which leads to improved print quality, less toner usage, less toner 
waste and less energy required for manufacturing and for printing. Xerox also opened 
in 2007 a $24 million state-of-the art automated ink manufacturing plant in Wilsonville, 
Oregon to serve growing demand for its proprietary solid ink color printers.

Fuji Xerox

Fuji Xerox Co., Limited is an unconsolidated entity in which we currently own 25% and 
FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (FujiFilm) owns 75%. Fuji Xerox develops, manufactures 
and distributes document processing products in Japan, China, Hong Kong and other 
areas of the Pacifi c Rim, Australia and New Zealand. We retain signifi cant rights as a 
minority shareholder. Our technology licensing agreements with Fuji Xerox ensure that 
the two companies retain uninterrupted access to each other’s portfolio of patents, 
technology and products.

International operations

We are incorporating by reference the fi nancial measures by geographical area for 
2007, 2006 and 2005 that are included in Note 2-Segment Reporting in the Consolidated 
Financial Statements in our 2007 Annual Report. See also the risk factors entitled “Our 
business results of operations and fi nancial condition may be negatively impacted by 
economic conditions abroad, including fl uctuating foreign currencies and shifting regulatory 
schemes.” in Part 1, Item 1A of our 2007 Form 10K.

Backlog 

We believe that backlog, or the value of unfi lled orders, is not a meaningful indicator of 
future business prospects because of the signifi cant proportion of our revenue that follows 
equipment installation, the large volume of products we deliver from shelf inventories, 
and the shortening of product life cycles. 

Seasonality 

Our revenues are affected by such factors as the introduction of new products, the length 
of the sales cycles, and the seasonality of technology purchases. As a result, our operating 
results are diffi cult to predict. These factors have historically resulted in lower revenue in 
the fi rst quarter than in the immediately preceding fourth quarter. 

Other information 

Xerox is a New York corporation, organized in 1906, and our principal executive offi ces are

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Throughout this document, references to “we,” “our,”

(“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the
results of operations and financial condition of Xerox
Corporation. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and
should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated
financial statements and the accompanying notes.

the “Company” and “Xerox” refer to Xerox Corporation
and its subsidiaries. References to “Xerox Corporation”
refer to the stand-alone parent company and do not
include its subsidiaries.

Executive Overview

We are a technology and services enterprise and a

leader in the global document market, developing,
manufacturing, marketing, servicing and financing the
industry’s broadest portfolio of document equipment,
solutions and services. The document industry is
transitioning to digital systems, color, and to an increased
reliance on electronic documents. Increasingly, businesses
are digitally creating and storing documents and using the
Internet to exchange electronic documents. More
customers are seeking to gain efficiencies in their
document management processes and are looking to us
for document related services to achieve those
efficiencies. We believe these trends play to the strengths
of our product and service offerings and represent
opportunities for future growth in the $125 billion market
we serve. These transformations also represent
opportunities for future growth since our research and
development investments have been focused on digital,
color and services offerings and our acquisitions have
focused on expanding our services, software and
distribution capabilities.

We operate in a global business environment, serving

a wide range of customers with about 50 percent of our
revenue generated from customers outside the U.S. Our
markets are competitive and our customers demand

improved solutions, such as the ability to print offset
quality color documents on-demand; improved product
functionality, such as the ability to print, copy, fax and
scan from a single device; and lower prices for the same
functionality. Customers are demanding document
services such as assessment consulting, managed services,
imaging and hosting and document intensive business
process improvements.

We deliver advanced technology through investments

in research and development and offset lower prices by
focusing on streamlining our cost base. The majority of
our revenue is recurring revenue (supplies, service, paper,
outsourcing and rentals), which we collectively refer to as
post sale revenue. Post sale revenue is driven by the
amount of equipment installed at customer locations and
the utilization of those devices. As such, our critical success
factors include equipment installations, which stabilize
and grow our installed base of equipment at customer
locations, page volume growth and higher revenue per
page. Key drivers to increase equipment usage are
connected multifunction devices, new services and
solutions. The transition to color is the primary driver to
improve revenue per page, as color documents typically
require significantly more toner coverage per page than
traditional black-and-white printing.

Financial Overview

In 2007, we grew revenue, expanded earnings and

generated strong operating cash flow. Our investments in
the growing areas of digital production and office
systems, particularly with respect to color products,
contributed to the majority of our equipment sales being
generated from products launched in the last two years.
During 2007 we completed the acquisitions of Global
Imaging Systems, Inc. (“GIS”) and Advectis, Inc. The
acquisition of GIS greatly expanded our reach in the small
to mid-size business (“SMB”) market and together with

favorable currency was a key driver of our increase in
revenue. Total revenue increased 8% over the prior year
reflecting 9% growth in post sale, financing and other
revenue and 7% equipment sales growth. Total color
revenue was up 14% over the prior year reflecting our
investments in this market and document management
services (also referred to as “Xerox Global Services”) post
sale, financing and other revenue of $3.4 billion increased
8% over 2006.

52

2007 gross margins of 40.3% were slightly below
prior year as cost improvements were offset by product
mix and pricing. Selling, administrative and general
(“SAG”) expense as a percent of revenue was 0.2-
percentage points lower year over year. SAG expenses
grew as the inclusion of GIS and unfavorable currency
offset the benefits of prior restructuring. Additionally, we
continued to invest in research and development and to
prioritize our investments to the faster growing areas of
the market.

Our balance sheet strategy focused on optimizing

operating cash flows and returning value to shareholders
through acquisitions, share repurchase and dividends. We
continue to maintain debt levels primarily to support our
customer financing operations as debt associated with our
acquisition of GIS was effectively repaid by year-end. We
also continued our strategy to replace debt secured by our
finance receivables with new unsecured debt, reducing the
percentage of secured debt to total debt to a modest 4%.
The successful implementation of this strategy enabled us

to significantly strengthen our balance sheet and led to
our third investment grade credit rating, thereby
completing the transition to a high-grade credit.

We finished the year with a cash and cash
equivalents balance of $1.1 billion. Our prospective
balance sheet strategy includes: optimizing operating cash
flows, maintaining our investment grade credit ratings,
achieving an optimal cost of capital and effectively
deploying cash to deliver and maximize long-term
shareholder value. Our strategy also includes maintaining
an appropriate leverage of our financing assets (finance
receivables and equipment on operating leases) and an
appropriate level of non-financing debt.

During 2007 we declared our first quarterly dividend

in six years. A dividend of 4.25 cents per share was paid on
January 31, 2008 to shareholders of record on
December 31, 2007. The dividend declaration underscores
our confidence in our business model and the health of
our business, which is the foundation for our strong
financial position.

Currency Impacts

To understand the trends in the business, we believe
that it is helpful to analyze the impact of changes in the
translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars on
revenues and expenses. We refer to this analysis as
“currency impact” or “the impact from currency”. Revenues
and expenses from our Developing Markets Operations
(“DMO”) are analyzed at actual exchange rates for all
periods presented, since these countries generally have
volatile currency and inflationary environments, and our
operations in these countries have historically
implemented pricing actions to recover the impact of
inflation and devaluation. We do not hedge the

translation effect of revenues or expenses denominated in
currencies where the local currency is the functional
currency.

Approximately 50% of our consolidated revenues are

derived from operations outside of the United States
where the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency. When
compared with the average of the major European
currencies on a revenue-weighted basis, the U.S. dollar was
9% weaker in 2007 and unchanged in 2006 and 2005. As
a result, the foreign currency translation impact on
revenue was a 3% benefit in 2007 and negligible in 2006.

2007, the effective date of the acquisition. When
including GIS in our 2006 results(3), our 2007 total revenue
increased 4%. Currency had a 3-percentage point positive
impact on total revenues. Total revenues included the
following:
• 9% increase in post sale, financing and other revenue,

or 6% including GIS in our 2006 results(3). This
included a 3-percentage point benefit from currency.
Growth in GIS, color products, DMO and document
management services more than offset the decline in
black-and-white digital office revenue and light lens
products:
• 8% increase in service, outsourcing, and rentals

revenue to $8,214 million reflected the inclusion of
GIS, growth in document management services
and technical service revenue. Supplies, paper, and
other sales of $3,439 million grew 14% year-over-
year due to the inclusion of GIS as well as growth
in DMO.

• 7% increase in equipment sales revenue, or a decrease
of 1% when including GIS in our 2006 results(3). This
included a 3-percentage point benefit from currency.
Growth in office multifunction color and production
color install activity was offset by overall price declines
of between 5%–10%, declines in production
black-and-white products and color printers, as well as
an increased proportion of equipment installed under
operating lease contracts where revenue is recognized
over-time in post sale.

• 14% growth in color revenue(2). Color revenue of
$6,356 million comprised 39% of total revenue,
compared to 35% in 2006 reflecting:
• 18% growth in color post sale, financing and other
revenue. Color represented 35% and 31% of post
sale, financing and other revenue, in 2007 and
2006, respectively(4).

Color sales represented 49% and 45% of total
equipment sales, in 2007 and 2006, respectively(4).

• 31% growth in color pages. Color pages

represented 12% and 9% of total pages, in 2007
and 2006, respectively(4).

Total 2006 revenue increased 1% from the prior
year. There was a negligible impact from currency. Total
revenue included the following:
• 1% decline in equipment sales, including a benefit
from currency of 1-percentage point, primarily
reflecting revenue declines in Office and high-end
production black-and-white products, partially offset
by revenue growth from color products and growth in
DMO. Strong install activity in color products and
office black-and-white products including, entry
production color, iGen3 and office multifunction color
products, partially offset by overall price declines.
Approximately two-thirds of 2006 equipment sales
were generated from products launched in the past 24
months.

• 3% growth in post sale and other revenue, including a
benefit from currency of 1-percentage point, primarily
reflecting growth in digital Office and Production
products, DMO, and value-added services offset by
declines in light lens and licensing revenue. Analog
revenues of $302 million represented 3% of 2006 post
sale revenue compared to $494 million or 5% of 2005
post sale revenue.

• 4% decline in Finance income, including a benefit

from currency of 1-percentage point, reflecting lower
average finance receivables.

• 13% growth in color revenue. Color revenue of $5,578

million comprised 35% of total revenue in 2006
compared to 31% in 2005.

Color sales represented 31% of post sale and other
revenue in 2006 compared to 28% in 2005. In
2006, approximately 9% of our pages were
printed on color devices, which was up from 7% in
2005.

• 9% growth in color equipment sales revenue. The

pace of color equipment sales growth was
impacted by lower OEM color printer sales. Color
sales represented approximately 45% of total
equipment sales in 2006 compared to 41% in
2005.

(1) Post sale revenue is largely a function of the equipment
placed at customer locations, the volume of prints and
copies that our customers make on that equipment, the
mix of color pages, as well as associated services.

(2) Color revenues represent a subset of total revenues and

excludes the impact of GIS.

revenue growth year-over-year after including GIS’
results from 2006 on a proforma basis. See page 76 for
an explanation of this non-GAAP measure.

financing and other, and color equipment sales
revenues comprised 37%, 34% and 46%, respectively,
if calculated on total, total post sale, financing and
other, and total equipment sales revenues, including
GIS. GIS is excluded from the color information
presented, as the breakout of the information required
to make this computation for all periods is not available.

2008 Projected Revenues

Excluding currency impacts, we expect 2008 revenue

to grow moderately driven by continued increases in
annuity revenue. We anticipate that new launches
combined with products and applications launched during
the prior two years, and the businesses acquired in 2007,
will enable us to further strengthen our market position.

Growth in post sale and other revenue will be driven

by our success in increasing the volume of equipment
installed at customer locations, volume of pages and mix
of color pages generated on that equipment, as well as
growth in document management services.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements

and accounting for the underlying transactions and
balances, we apply various accounting policies. Senior
management has discussed the development and
selection of the critical accounting policies, estimates and
related disclosures, included herein, with the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors. We consider the
policies discussed below as critical to understanding our
Consolidated Financial Statements, as their application
places the most significant demands on management’s
judgment, since financial reporting results rely on
estimates of the effects of matters that are inherently
uncertain. In instances where different estimates could
have reasonably been used, we disclosed the impact of
these different estimates on our operations. In certain
instances like revenue recognition for leases, the
accounting rules are prescriptive; therefore, it would not
have been possible to reasonably use different estimates.
Changes in assumptions and estimates are reflected in the
period in which they occur. The impact of such changes
could be material to our results of operations and financial
condition in any quarterly or annual period.

Specific risks associated with these critical accounting

policies are discussed throughout the 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, refer to Note 1-Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies, in the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition for Leases: Our accounting for
leases involves specific determinations under applicable
lease accounting standards, which often involve complex
and prescriptive provisions. These provisions affect the
timing of revenue recognition for our equipment. If a

lease qualifies as a sales-type capital lease, equipment
revenue is recognized upon delivery or installation of the
equipment as sale revenue as opposed to ratably over the
lease term. The critical elements that we consider with
respect to our lease accounting are the determination of
the economic life and the fair value of equipment,
including the residual value. For purposes of determining
the economic life, we consider the most objective measure
to be the original contract term, since most equipment is
returned by lessees at or near the end of the contracted
term. The economic 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
percentage of our leases are for original terms longer than
five years. There is no significant after-market for our used
equipment. We believe five years 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.

Revenue Recognition Under Bundled Arrangements:

We sell the majority of our products and services under
bundled lease arrangements, which typically include
equipment, service, supplies and financing components for
which the customer pays a single negotiated monthly
fixed price for all elements over the contractual lease term.
Typically these arrangements include an incremental,
variable component for page volumes in excess of
contractual page volume minimums, which are often
expressed in terms of price per page. Revenues under
these arrangements are allocated, considering the relative
fair values of the lease and non-lease deliverables included
in the bundled arrangement, based upon the estimated
relative fair values of each element. Lease deliverables
include maintenance and executory costs, equipment and
financing, while non-lease deliverables generally consist of

56

supplies and non-maintenance services. Our revenue
allocation for lease deliverables begins by allocating
revenues to the maintenance and executory costs plus
profit thereon. The remaining amounts are allocated to
the equipment and financing elements. We perform
extensive analyses of available verifiable objective
evidence of equipment fair value based on cash selling
prices during 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
be reasonably consistent with 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 pricing interest rates,
which are used in determining customer payments, 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. We reassess our
pricing interest rates quarterly based on changes in the
local prevailing rates in the marketplace. These interest
rates are adjusted if the rates vary by twenty-five basis
points or more, cumulatively, from the last rate in effect.
The pricing interest rates generally equal the implicit rates
within the leases, as corroborated by our comparisons of
cash to lease selling prices.

Residual Values for Equipment under Lease: Residual

values represent the recorded estimated fair value of
equipment as of the end of the lease. Residual values
associated with equipment under sales-type leases are
included as a component of our net finance receivables
balance and amounted to $69 million and $90 million at
December 31, 2007 and 2006. Residual values associated
with equipment under operating leases represent the
recorded estimated salvage value at the end of the lease
term and are included as a component of equipment on
operating leases, net and amounted to $36 million and
$41 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006. Equipment
under operating leases and similar arrangements are
depreciated to estimated salvage value over their
estimated useful lives.

We review residual values 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 strategies and the expected lessee
behavior at the end of the lease term. Impairments to
residual values occur 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 values. Impairments on residual values are

recognized as losses in the period in which the estimate is
changed or as a revision in depreciation estimates for
sales-type leases and operating leases, respectively. We
recorded $1 million and $4 million in residual value
impairment charges for the years ended December 31,
2007 and 2005. We did not record any residual value
impairment charges for the year ended December 31,
2006.

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 continuously
monitor collections and payments from our customers and
maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based
upon our historical experience and any specific customer
collection issues that have been identified. While such
credit losses have historically been within our expectations
and the provisions established, 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
conditions such as delinquency rates and financial health
of specific customers. We recorded bad debt provisions of
$134 million, $87 million, and $72 million in SAG expenses
in our Consolidated Statements of Income for the years
ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

As discussed above, in preparing our Consolidated

Financial Statements for the three year period ended
December 31, 2007, we estimated our provision for
doubtful accounts based on historical experience and
customer-specific collection issues. This methodology has
been consistently applied for all periods presented. During
the five year period ended December 31, 2007, our
allowance for doubtful accounts ranged from 3.0% to
4.6% of gross receivables. Holding all other assumptions
constant, a 1-percentage point increase or decrease in the
allowance from the December 31, 2007 rate of 3.1%
would change the 2007 provision by approximately $110
million.

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. The
estimated credit quality of any given customer and class

Xerox Annual Report 2007

57

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.

Pension and Post-retirement Benefit Plan

Assumptions: We sponsor pension plans in various forms in
several countries covering substantially all employees who
meet eligibility requirements. Post-retirement benefit
plans cover primarily U.S. employees for retirement
medical costs. 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 discount rate,
expected return on plan assets, rate of increase in
healthcare costs, the rate of future compensation
increases and mortality. 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 systematic 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 can result 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 differences that arose in prior years. This
amount is a component of the net actuarial gain or loss
and is subject to amortization to net periodic pension cost
over the average remaining service lives of the employees
participating in the pension plan.

Total actuarial losses for our pension plans as of
December 31, 2007 were $1 billion, as compared to $1.6
billion at December 31, 2006. The change from
December 31, 2006 relates primarily to an increase in the
discount rate. The total actuarial loss will be amortized in
the future, subject to offsetting gains or losses that will
change the future amortization amount. We have utilized
a weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets
of 7.6% for 2007, 7.8% for 2006 and 8.0% for 2005, on a
worldwide basis. 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. The

weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets
we will utilize for 2008 will be 7.6%.

Another 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. The discount rate reflects the current
rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively
settled considering the timing of expected payments for
plan participants. In estimating this rate, we consider rates
of return on high quality fixed-income investments
included in various published bond indexes, adjusted to
eliminate the effects of call provisions and differences in
the timing and amounts of cash outflows related to the
bonds. In the U.S. and the U.K., which comprise
approximately 80% of our projected benefit obligations,
we consider the Moody’s Aa Corporate Bond Index and
the International Index Company’s iBoxx Sterling
Corporate AA Cash Bond Index, respectively in the
determination of the appropriate discount rate
assumptions. The weighted average rate we utilized to
measure our pension obligation as of December 31, 2007
and calculate our 2008 expense was 5.9%, which is an
increase from 5.3% used in determining 2007 expense.
Assuming settlement losses in 2008 are consistent with
2007, our 2008 net periodic pension cost is expected to be
approximately $40 million lower than 2007, primarily as a
result of the increase in the discount rate.

On a consolidated basis, we recognized net periodic

pension cost of $315 million, $425 million, and $414
million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and
2005, respectively. The costs associated with our defined
contribution plans, which are included in net periodic
pension cost, were $80 million, $70 million and $71 million
for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. Pension cost is included in several income
statement components based on the related underlying
employee costs. Pension and post-retirement benefit plan
assumptions are included in Note 14-Employee Benefit
Plans in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Holding
all other assumptions constant, a 0.25% increase or
decrease in the discount rate would change the 2008
projected net periodic pension cost by $26 million.
Likewise, a 0.25% increase or decrease in the expected
return on plan assets would change the 2008 projected
net periodic pension cost by $19 million.

Refer to Note 1 – “New Accounting Standards and

Accounting Changes” in the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information regarding our 2006
adoption of SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for

58

Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans,
an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and
132(R).”

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 considering historical
profitability, 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
material change in the actual effective tax rates or time
period 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.
Conversely, if and when our operations in some
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. Adjustments to our valuation allowance,
through charges/(credits) to income tax expense, were
$14 million, $12 million, and $(38) million for the years
ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
There were other increases/(decreases) to our valuation
allowance, including the effects of currency, of $86
million, $45 million, and $61 million for the years ended
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, that did
not affect income tax expense in total as there was a
corresponding adjustment to deferred tax assets or other
comprehensive income. Gross deferred tax assets of $3.6
billion and $3.9 billion had valuation allowances of $747
million and $647 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.

We adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting

evaluated recognition and measurement of uncertain tax
positions. Refer to Note 1 – “New Accounting Standards
and Accounting Changes” and Note 15 – “Income and
Other Taxes” in the Consolidated Financial Statements for
further information regarding the adoption and
application of this interpretation.

We are subject to ongoing tax examinations and
assessments in various jurisdictions. Accordingly, we may
incur additional tax expense based upon our assessment
of the more-likely-than-not outcomes of such matters. In
addition, when applicable, we adjust the previously
recorded tax expense to reflect examination results. Our
ongoing assessments of the more-likely-than-not
outcomes of the examinations and related tax positions
require judgment and can materially increase or decrease
our effective tax rate as well as impact our operating
results.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal

jurisdiction and various foreign jurisdictions. In the U.S. we
are no longer subject to U.S. Federal income tax
examinations by tax authorities for years before 2006.
With respect to our major foreign jurisdictions, we are no
longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities
before 2000.

Legal Contingencies: We are involved in a variety of

claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings
concerning securities law, intellectual property law,
environmental law, employment law and ERISA, as
discussed in Note 16 – Contingencies in the Consolidated
Financial Statements. We determine whether an
estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by
assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be
reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by
analyzing our litigation and regulatory matters using
available information. 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 litigation and
settlement strategies. Should developments in any of
these matters cause a change in our determination as to
an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to
recognize a material accrual, or should any of these
matters result in a final 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 determination, judgment or settlement occurs.

As result of our current year acquisition of GIS, as well
as prior year acquisitions, we have a significant amount of
goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or
more frequently if an event or circumstance indicates that
an impairment loss may have been incurred. Application of
the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including

the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets
and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to
reporting units, and determination of the fair value of
each reporting unit. We estimate the fair value of each
reporting unit using a discounted cash flow methodology.
This requires us to use significant judgment including
estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on
internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of
growth for our business, the useful life over which cash
flows will occur, determination of our weighted average
cost of capital, and relevant market data. Refer to Note 8 –
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net in the Consolidated
Financial Statements for further information regarding
goodwill by operating segment.

Production

Revenue

2007 Production revenue of $4,771 million increased
4%, including a 4-percentage point benefit from currency,
reflecting:
• 9% increase in post sale and other revenue, including
a 5-percentage point benefit from currency, as growth
from digital products more than offset declines in
revenue from older light lens technology.

• 3% decrease in equipment sales revenue, including a
5-percentage point benefit from currency, reflecting
growth in production color systems offset by declines
in black-and-white production printing systems and
light production and an increased proportion of
equipment installed under operating lease contracts
where revenue is recognized over-time in post sale.
• 6% growth in installs of production color products

driven by DocuColor 242/252/260 family, Docucolor
5000 and iGen3 activity.

• 8% decline in installs of production black-and-white

systems reflecting a decline in installs of high-volume
and light production systems.

2006 Production revenue of $4,579 million increased
1%, including a 1-percentage point benefit from currency,
reflecting:
• 3% increase in post sale and other revenue reflecting
growth in color products which was partially offset by
declines in revenue from high-end black-and-white
digital products and older light lens technology.

Office

Revenue

2007 Office revenue of $8,304 million increased 9%,

including a 3-percentage point benefit from currency,
reflecting:
• 10% increase in post sale and other revenue,

reflecting the inclusion of GIS as well as growth from
color multifunction devices and color printers.

• 9% increase in equipment sales revenue, reflecting the
inclusion of GIS as well as color multifunction products
install growth.

• 65% color multifunction device install growth led by
strong demand for Xerox WorkCentre products.

• 5% increase in installs of black-and-white copiers and

multifunction devices, including 4% growth in

• 2% decrease in equipment sales revenue, including a
1-percentage point benefit from currency, as price
declines of less than 5% was partially offset by strong
color install activity.

•

• 74% growth in installs of production color products
largely driven by strong activity in the DocuColor
240/250, DocuColor 5000 and DocuColor 7000/8000,
as well as an increase in iGen3 installs.
Installs of production black-and-white systems were
flat year-over-year. This included 16% growth in
installs of black-and-white light production systems,
reflecting continued success of the 4110 light
production system, which was more than offset by
21% declines in installs of high-end black-and-white
systems.

Operating Profit

2007 Operating profit of $448 million increased $45

million from 2006. The increase is primarily the result of
higher gross profit and lower R,D&E, partially offset by an
increase in bad debt expense.

2006 Operating profit of $403 million declined $24

million from 2005. This decrease is a result of reduced
gross margins impacted by product mix, price declines and
an increase in bad debt expense, partially offset by a
decrease in R,D&E spending and selling expenses.

Segment 1&2 products (11-30 ppm) and 7% growth
in Segment 3-5 products (31-90 ppm) that includes
the 95 ppm device with an embedded controller.
• 10% decline in color printer installs due to lower OEM

sales.

2006 Office revenue of $7,625 million was relatively
flat year over year, including a negligible currency effect.
• 2% increase in post sale and other revenue, including
a benefit from currency of 1-percentage point. Growth
in revenue from color multifunction products,
black-and-white and color printers, were partially
offset by declines in black-and-white multifunction
and older light lens technology.

Xerox Annual Report 2007

61

• 3% decrease in equipment sales revenue, including a
benefit from currency of 1-percentage point. Price
declines of less than 10% more than offset the growth
in office color multifunction and black-and-white
products. In addition, an increased proportion of office
equipment installed under operating lease contracts
were recognized in post sale revenue.

• 35% increase in installs of office color multifunction

systems.

• 8% increase in installs of black-and-white digital

copiers and multifunction devices. Install growth was
driven by 15% growth in Segments 3-5 devices (31-90
ppm) and 7% growth in Segments 1&2 devices (11-30
ppm).

• 5% decline in color printers as compared to 111%

growth in the comparable 2005 periods. The decline
reflects lower 2006 OEM sales.

DMO

Revenue

Operating Profit

2007 Operating profit of $973 million increased $141

million from 2006. The increase was primarily due to the
inclusion of GIS and higher gross profits partially offset by
higher SAG expenses.

2006 Operating profit of $832 million increased $13

million from 2005, reflecting the reduction in SAG
expenses partially offset by lower gross profit.

2006 DMO revenue of $1,938 million increased 7%

2007 DMO revenue of $2,155 million increased 11%

from 2006, reflecting:
•

strong sales of Segments 1&2 devices, as well as install
growth in light production black-and-white and
production color systems.

Operating Profit

2007 Operating profit of $134 million increased $10
million from 2006 reflecting higher gross profit primarily
from increased revenue, partially offset by an increase in
SAG expenses.

2006 Operating profit of $124 million increased $60

million from 2005, reflecting higher gross profit and
reduction in SAG expenses.

Other

Revenue

2007 Other revenue of $1,998 million increased 14%,

including a 3-percentage point benefit from currency,
primarily reflecting the inclusion of GIS as well as
increased paper and value-added services revenues. Paper
comprised approximately 40% of Other segment revenue.

2006 Other revenue of $1,753 million increased 1%

from 2005 reflecting:
• 11% decrease in equipment revenue driven by lower
equipment component sales included in value-added
services.

• 3% increase in post sale and other revenue from 2005,
including a benefit from currency of 1-percentage
point, due primarily to increased paper sales and
value-added services. Paper comprised approximately
two-thirds of the 2006 Other segment post sale and
other revenue.

Operating Profit

2007 Operating profit of $33 million increased $2
million from 2006 reflecting higher revenue as well as
lower currency exchange losses and litigation charges,

62

partially offset by higher interest expense and lower gains
on the sales of businesses and assets.

2006 Operating profit of $31 million decreased $120

million from 2005, reflecting:
• The absence of the following items that occurred in
2005: $93 million gain related to the sale of Integic
and the $57 million interest benefit from the
finalization of the 1996-1998 Internal Revenue
Service tax audit.

Lower interest income of $12 million and increased
non-financing interest expense of $8 million.
The above were partially offset by the following:
•

Increased paper profit due to increased sales and
reduced SAG expenses resulting from organizational
streamlining.

• $44 million in gains on sale of assets.

2006 Total Gross margin decreased by

0.6-percentage points from 2005 due to product mix.
Price declines of 1.4-percentage points were offset by
productivity improvements and other variances of
1.4-percentage points.

Sales gross margin decreased 0.9-percentage points
from 2005 as price declines of 2.1-percentage points
exceeded the combined impacts of productivity
improvements, product mix and other variances of

Service, outsourcing and rentals margin decreased
0.3-percentage points from 2005 as product mix
decline of 1.3-percentage points exceeded the
impact of productivity improvements, price and other
variances of 1.0-percentage points.
Financing income margin increased 1.0-percentage
points due to changes in interest costs specific to
equipment financing.

•

•

2007 Total Gross margin was down slightly as
compared to 2006 as cost improvements were offset by
price and product mix.
•

Sales gross margin increased 0.2-percentage points
primarily as cost improvements and other variances
more than offset the 2.0-percentage point impact of
price declines.
Service, outsourcing and rentals margin decreased
0.3-percentage points as cost improvements and
other variances did not fully offset price declines and
unfavorable product mix of approximately
2.0-percentage points.
Financing income margin declined 2.1-percentage
points reflecting additional interest expense due to
higher interest rates. Equipment financing interest is
determined based on an estimated cost of funds,
applied against an estimated level of debt required
to fund our net finance receivables on a 7 to 1 debt
to equity leverage ratio (refer to Note 11- Debt in the
Consolidated Financial Statements for further

2007 SAG expenses of $4,312 million were higher
than 2006, including a $141 million negative impact from
currency. The SAG expense increase was the result of the
following:
• $93 million increase in selling expenses primarily

reflecting the negative impact from currency and the
inclusion of GIS. This increase was partially offset by
lower costs reflecting the benefits from the 2006
restructuring programs intended to realign our sales
infrastructure.

• $164 million increase in general and administrative

(“G&A”) expenses primarily from the inclusion of GIS,
unfavorable currency and information technology
investments.

• $47 million increase in bad debt expense primarily as a
result of an increase in reserves for several customers
in Europe as well as a 2006 reduction in expense due
to adjustments to the reserves to reflect improvement
in write-offs and aging.

2006 SAG expenses of $4,008 million decreased from

2005 as a result of the following:
• $58 million reduction in selling expenses, including

lower marketing spending and headcount reductions.

• $59 million reduction in G&A expenses as a result of

continued expense management initiatives, including
benefits from restructuring.

• The above reductions were partially offset by a $15

million increase in bad debt expense.

Bad debt expense included in SAG was $134 million,

$87 million and $72 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. Both 2005 and, to a lesser extent, 2006
reflect the benefits associated with recoveries and
adjustments to the reserves as the result of improvements
in write-offs and aging. This favorable trend in write-offs,
receivables aging and collections continues to be reflected
in our current year bad debt expense. Bad debt expense as
a percent of total revenue was 0.8%, 0.5% and 0.5% for
2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. At December 31,
2007, bad debt reserves, as a percentage of receivables,
were comparable to year end 2006.

Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

For the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2006

and 2005 we recorded restructuring and asset impairment
(credits)/charges of $(6) million, $385 million and $366
million, respectively. Restructuring activity was minimal in
2007 and the related credit of $6 million primarily reflects
changes in estimates for prior years’ severance costs.
2006 net charges of $318 million related to headcount
reductions of approximately 3,400 employees in North
America and Europe. Lease termination and asset
impairment net charges of $67 million primarily reflected
the relocation of certain manufacturing operations and
the exit from certain leased and owned facilities. 2005 net
charges of $350 million related to the elimination of
3,900 employees worldwide and the remaining $16
million of net charges related to asset impairments and
lease cancellations. The remaining restructuring reserve
balance as of December 31, 2007, for all programs was
$109 million. Refer to Note 9-Restructuring and Asset
Impairment Charges in the Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information regarding our
restructuring programs.

Worldwide Employment

Worldwide employment of 57,400 as of

December 31, 2007 increased approximately 3,700 from
December 31, 2006, primarily reflecting the addition of
GIS personnel and the hiring of former contract

employees in certain Latin American subsidiaries, partially
offset by reductions from the 2006 restructuring
programs. Worldwide employment was approximately
53,700 and 55,200 at December 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.

Non-financing interest expense: In 2007

non-financing interest expense increased primarily due to
higher average debt balances as well as higher rates. In
2006 non-financing interest expense increased due to
higher interest rates partially offset by lower average debt
balances.

Interest income: Interest income is derived primarily
from our invested cash and cash equivalent balances. The
decline in interest income in 2007 was primarily due to
lower average cash balances partially offset by higher
rates. The decline in 2006 was primarily because 2005
included $57 million of interest income associated with
the 2005 settlement of the 1996-1998 IRS audit as well as
lower average cash balances partially offset by higher
rates of return.

Gain on sales of businesses and assets: 2006 gain on

sales of businesses and assets primarily consisted of the
following:
• $15 million on the sale of our Corporate headquarters.
• $11 million on the sale of a manufacturing facility.
• $10 million receipt from escrow of additional proceeds

related to our 2005 sale of Integic.

In 2005, gain on sales of businesses and assets

primarily consist of the $93 million gain on the sale of
Integic.

Currency (gains) losses net: Currency gains and losses

primarily result from the re-measurement of foreign
currency-denominated assets and liabilities, the cost of
hedging foreign currency-denominated assets and
liabilities, the mark-to-market of any foreign exchange
contracts utilized to hedge those foreign currency-
denominated assets and liabilities and the mark-to-market
impact of hedges of anticipated transactions, primarily
future inventory purchases, for those we do not apply cash
flow hedge accounting treatment.

In 2007, 2006 and 2005 currency losses totaled $8

million, $39 million and $5 million, respectively. The 2006
increase in currency losses primarily reflected the
mark-to-market of derivative contracts which are
economically hedging anticipated foreign currency
denominated payments. The mark-to-market losses were
primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro against
other currencies, in particular the Canadian Dollar,
U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen, as compared to the
weakening Euro in 2005.

Amortization of intangible assets: 2007 amortization

of intangible assets expense of $42 million reflects
amortization expense of $16 million associated with
intangible assets acquired as part of our acquisition of
GIS, partially offset by reduced amortization from prior

Xerox Annual Report 2007

years due to the full amortization of certain intangible
assets from previous acquisitions.

Legal matters: In 2006 legal matters expenses

consisted of the following:
• $68 million for probable losses on Brazilian labor-

related contingencies – see Note 16 – Contingencies in
the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
details.

• $33 million associated with probable losses from

various legal matters partially offset by $12 million of
proceeds from the Palm litigation matter. The $11
million remaining proceeds from the Palm litigation is
associated with a license and recorded in sales as
licensing revenue.

In 2005, legal matters expenses consisted of the

following:
• $102 million, including $13 million for interest

expense, related to the MPI arbitration panel ruling.
• $13 million related to all other legal matters, primarily
reflecting charges for probable losses on cases that
had not yet been resolved.

Refer to Note 16 – Contingencies in the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information regarding
litigation against the Company.

Loss on extinguishment of debt: 2006 loss of $15

deferred debt issuance costs associated with the
termination of a previous credit facility and a $2 million
loss associated with the repayment of the mortgage in
connection with the sale of our Corporate headquarters in
Stamford, Connecticut.

All other expenses, net: In 2006 all other expenses,
net decreased due to the absence of the following 2005
items:
• $15 million for property damage and impaired

receivables losses sustained from Hurricane Katrina.

• $26 million charge related to the European Union

Waste Directive.

The 2007 effective tax rate of 27.8% was lower than

the U.S. statutory rate primarily reflecting tax benefits
from the geographical mix of income and the related
effective tax rates in those jurisdictions and the utilization
of foreign tax credits as well as the resolution of other tax
matters. These benefits were partially offset by changes in
tax law.

• These benefits were partially offset by losses in certain
jurisdictions where we are not providing tax benefits
and continue to maintain deferred tax valuation
allowances.

The 2005 effective tax rate of (0.6)% was lower than

the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to:

• Tax benefits of $42 million primarily from the

Income from Discontinued Operations

As disclosed in Note 15 – Income and Other Taxes in
the Consolidated Financial Statements, in June 2005 the
1996-1998 Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audit was
finalized. Of the total tax benefits realized, $53 million
was attributed to our discontinued operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting

Policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements for a
description of recent accounting pronouncements
including the respective dates of adoption and the effects
on results of operations and financial condition.

• These impacts were partially offset by losses in certain
jurisdictions where we are not providing tax benefits
and continue to maintain deferred tax valuation
allowances.

Our effective tax rate will change based on

nonrecurring events as well as recurring factors including
the geographical mix of income before taxes and the
related tax rates in those jurisdictions and available
foreign tax credits. In addition, our effective tax rate will
change based on discrete or other nonrecurring events
(such as audit settlements) that may not be predictable.
We anticipate that our effective tax rate for 2008 will
approximate 30%, excluding the effect of any discrete
items.

Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates

2007 equity in net income of unconsolidated
affiliates of $97 million is principally related to our 25%
share of Fuji Xerox (“FX”) income. The $17 million
reduction from 2006 is primarily due to $30 million in our
after-tax share of FX restructuring charges.

2008 Segment Reporting Change

In the first quarter of 2008, we will be revising our segment reporting to integrate DMO into the Production, Office

and Other segments. DMO is a geography which has matured to a level where we will begin to manage it consistent with
our North American and European geographies, which is on the basis of products sold. However, we will continue to
provide DMO’s revenue and profit as a supplemental disclosure through 2008.

Segment Revenue and Profit, as presented below, were reclassified for the above change, as well as for certain other

miscellaneous revenue and expense reallocations. The following table reflects the restatement of selected financial
information for our operating segments for each of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively,

2007

2006

For the year ended December 31, 2007, net cash
provided by operating activities, increased $254 million
from 2006 primarily due to the following:
• $348 million increase in pre tax income before

restructuring, depreciation, other provisions and net
gains.

• $108 million increase in other liabilities primarily

reflecting the absence of the prior year payment of
$106 million related to the MPI litigation.
• $57 million increase reflecting lower pension
contributions to our U.S. pension plans.

Xerox Annual Report 2007

69

• $30 million increase as a result of lower restructuring

payments due to minimal activity in 2007.

• $114 million decrease due to year-over-year inventory
growth of $54 million primarily related to increased
product launches in 2007, as well as a $60 million
increase in equipment on operating leases reflecting
higher operating lease install activity.

• $73 million decrease due to a lower net run-off of

finance receivables.

• $49 million decrease primarily due to higher accounts
receivable reflecting increased revenue, partially offset
by $110 million year-over-year benefit from increased
receivables sales.

• $45 million decrease due to lower benefit accruals,

partially offset by higher accounts payable due to the
timing of payments to vendors and suppliers.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, net cash
provided by operating activities, increased $197 million
from 2005 primarily as a result of the increased net
income of $232 million, as well as the following additional
items:
• $173 million increase due to lower inventories.
• $87 million increase due to lower net tax payments

including a $34 million refund associated with the
settlement of the 1999 to 2003 IRS tax audit.
• $62 million decrease due to a lower net run-off of

finance receivables.

• $51 million decrease due to higher restructuring
payments related to previously reported actions.
• $96 million decrease due to a lower year-over-year
reduction in other current and long-term assets.
• $77 million decrease due to a reduction in other

current and long-term liabilities, primarily reflecting a
$106 million payment relating to the previously
disclosed MPI legal matter.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, net cash
used in investing activities, increased $1,469 million from
2006 primarily due to the following:
• $1,386 million increase due to $1,615 million in 2007

acquisitions primarily comprised of $1,568 for GIS and
its additional acquisitions and $30 million for Advectis,
Inc., as compared to $229 million in acquisitions in
2006 comprised of Amici, LLC and XMPie, Inc.
• $153 million increase reflecting the absence of the
2006 $122 million distribution related to the sale of
investments held by Ridge Re* and the $21 million
distribution from the liquidation of our investment in
Xerox Capital LLC.

• $57 million increase due to higher 2006 proceeds from
sales of land, buildings and equipment, which included
the sale of our corporate headquarters and a parcel of
vacant land.

• $65 million increase due to higher capital and internal

use software investments in 2007.

• $162 million decrease due to a reduction in escrow
and other restricted investments in 2007, as we
continue to run-off our secured borrowing programs.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, net cash
from investing activities increased $152 million from
2005 primarily as a result of the following:
• $354 million increase due to proceeds from the net

sale of short-term investments in 2006 of $107 million,
as compared to the net purchases of $247 million in
2005, as 2005 represented the initial year we
purchased short-term investments to supplement our
investment income.

• $77 million increase due to proceeds from the sale of

our Corporate headquarters and other excess land and
buildings.

• $48 million increase due to proceeds from divestitures

and investments, reflecting:
• $122 million related to the sale of investments

held by Ridge Re* in 2006.

• $21 million distribution from the liquidation of our

investment in a subsidiary trust in 2006.

• $96 million of proceeds from the sale of Integic in

2005.

•

Partially offsetting these items were the following:
• $229 million due to payments related to the
acquisition of Amici, LLC and XMPie, Inc.

• $57 million increase in capital expenditures and

•

internal use software.
Lower cash generation of $42 million due to a
lower net reduction of escrow and other restricted
investments.

* In March 2006 Ridge Re, a wholly owned

subsidiary included in discontinued operations,
executed an agreement to complete its exit
from the insurance business. As a result of this
agreement and pursuant to a liquidation plan,
excess cash held by Ridge Re was distributed
back to the Company (Refer to Note
19-Divestitures and Other Sales in the
Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information).

70

For the year ended December 31, 2007, net cash
used in financing activities, decreased $809 million from
2006 primarily due to the following:
• $538 million decrease due to higher net cash proceeds
from unsecured debt. This reflects the May 2007
issuance of the $1.1 billion Senior Notes, the issuances
of two zero coupon bonds in 2007 resulting in net
proceeds of approximately $400 million, and the net
drawdown of $600 million under the 2007 Credit
Facility. These higher net proceeds were partially
offset by the March 2006 issuance of the $700 million
Senior Notes and the August 2006 issuance of an
additional $650 million of Senior Notes, as well as,
higher repayments on other unsecured debt in 2007 as
compared to 2006.

• $437 million decrease due to lower purchases under

our share repurchase program as cash was invested in
acquisitions.

• $100 million decrease relating to the 2006 payment

of our liability to Xerox Capital LLC in connection with
their redemption of Canadian deferred preferred
shares.

• $278 million increase due to higher net repayments of
secured financing. (refer to Note 4-Receivables, net in
the consolidated financial statements for further
information).

Financing Activities

Customer Financing Activities and Secured Debt: We

provide equipment financing to the majority of our
customers. Because the finance leases allow our customers
to pay for equipment over time rather than at the date of
installation, we maintain a certain level of debt to support
our investment in these customer finance leases. We
currently fund our customer financing activity through
cash generated from operations, cash on hand, borrowings
under bank credit facilities, and proceeds from capital
markets offerings.

We have arrangements in certain international
countries and domestically through the acquisition of GIS,
in which third party financial institutions originate lease
contracts directly with our customers. In these
arrangements, we sell and transfer title of the equipment
to these financial institutions. Generally, we have no
continuing ownership rights in the equipment subsequent
to its sale; therefore, the related receivable and debt are
not included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The following represents total finance assets
associated with our lease or finance operations as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively (in millions):

For the year ended December 31, 2006, net cash

used in financing activities decreased $1.5 billion from
2005 primarily as a result of the following:
• $2,463 million lower usage primarily resulting from the
2005 net repayments on term and other unsecured
debt, of $1,187 million, as contrast to the 2006 net
borrowings of term and other unsecured debt of
$1,276 million. The 2006 net borrowings primarily
reflect the 2016 Senior Notes borrowing of $700
million in March 2006, 2017 Senior Notes borrowing of
$500 million in August 2006 and the 2009 Senior
Notes borrowing of $150 million in August 2006.
• $42 million due to higher proceeds from the issuance
of common stock, resulting from increases in exercised
stock options.
Partially offsetting these items were the following:
• $636 million higher cash usage for the acquisition
of common stock under the authorized share
repurchase programs.

•

• $269 million higher net repayments on secured

borrowings.

• $100 million payment of liability to Xerox Capital

LLC in connection with their redemption of
Canadian deferred preferred shares in February
2006.

has authorized programs for the repurchase of the
Company’s common stock totaling $2.5 billion as of
December 31, 2007. Since launching this program in
October 2005, we have repurchased 137 million shares,
totaling approximately $2.1 billion of the $2.5 billion
authorized through December 31, 2007. In January 2008,
the Board of Directors authorized an additional $1 billion
for share repurchase.

of Directors declared a 4.25 cent per share dividend on
common stock payable January 31, 2008 to shareholders
of record on December 31, 2007.

Loan Covenants and Compliance: At December 31,
2007, we were in full compliance with the covenants and
other provisions of the 2007 Credit Facility, the senior
notes and the Loan Agreement. Failure to be in
compliance with any material provision or covenant of
these agreements could have a material adverse effect on
our liquidity and operations and our ability to continue to
fund our customers’ purchase of Xerox equipment. We
have the right to prepay any outstanding loans or to
terminate the 2007 Credit Facility without penalty.

Refer to Note 11 – Debt and Note 4 – Receivables,

Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information regarding the senior notes and
Loan agreement, respectively.

Financial Instruments: Refer to Note 13 –Financial

Instruments in the Consolidated Financial Statements for

Capital Markets Offerings and Other: In 2007, we
raised net proceeds of $1.5 billion through the issuance of
Senior Notes due in 2012 and zero coupon bond
transactions. Refer to Note 11-Debt in the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information regarding
these transactions.

At December 31, 2007, approximately 4% of total

debt was secured by finance receivables and other assets
compared to 29% at December 31, 2006.

Credit Facility: In April 2007, we amended and
restated our $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit
facility that was originally entered into in April 2006. The
amended and restated 2007 Credit Facility (“2007 Credit
Facility”) increased the maximum amount available for
borrowing to $2 billion and includes a $300 million letter
of credit subfacility. As of December 31, 2007, we had
borrowings of $600 million and no outstanding letters of
credit under the 2007 Credit Facility.

Refer to Note 11 – Debt in the Consolidated Financial

Statements for further information regarding our 2007
Credit Facility.

Liquidity, Financial Flexibility and Other Financing
Activity

Liquidity: 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 a party
and (3) the policies and cooperation of the financial
institutions we utilize to maintain and provide cash
management services.

As of December 31, 2007, we had $1.1 billion of cash

and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under our
2007 Credit Facility of $1.4 billion. Our ability to maintain
positive liquidity going forward depends on our ability to
continue to generate cash from operations and access the
financial markets, both of which are subject to general
economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory
and other market factors that are beyond our control.

Credit Ratings: Our credit ratings, which are periodically reviewed by major rating agencies, have substantially

(5) 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 support, desktop services and
helpdesk support, voice and data network management and server management. On July 1, 2004, we extended the
contract through June 30, 2009. There are no minimum payments required under the contract. We can terminate the
current contract for convenience with six months notice, as defined in the contract, with no termination fee and with
payment to EDS for costs incurred as of the termination date. Should we terminate the contract for convenience, we
have an option to purchase the assets placed in service under the EDS contract. On January 1, 2008, the portion of the
contract for global mainframe processing was extended to December 31, 2013.

(6) 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.

Pension and Other Post-retirement Benefit Plans: We
sponsor pension and other post-retirement benefit plans
that may require periodic cash contributions. Our 2007
cash fundings for these plans were $298 million for
pensions and $102 million for other post-retirement plans.
Our anticipated cash fundings for 2008 are approximately
$130 million for pensions and approximately $100 million
for other post-retirement plans. Cash contribution
requirements for our domestic tax qualified pension plans
are governed by the Employment Retirement Income
Security Act (“ERISA”) and the Internal Revenue Code.
Cash contribution requirements for our international plans
are subject to the applicable regulations in each country.
The expected 2008 pension contributions do not include
contributions to the domestic tax-qualified plans because
these plans currently exceed the ERISA minimum funding
requirements for the plans’ 2007 plan year. However, once
the January 1, 2008 actuarial valuations and projected
results as of the end of the 2008 measurement year are
available, the desirability of additional contributions will
be assessed. Based on these results, we may voluntarily
decide to contribute to these plans, even though no
contribution is required. In prior years, after making this
assessment, we decided to contribute $158 million and
$228 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively, to our
domestic tax qualified plans in order to make them 100%
funded on a current liability basis under the ERISA funding
rules.

Our other post-retirement benefit plans are

non-funded and are almost entirely related to domestic
operations. Cash contributions are made each year to
cover medical claims costs incurred in that year. The
amounts reported in the above table as retiree health
payments represent our estimated future benefit
payments.

Fuji Xerox: We purchased products from Fuji Xerox

totaling $1.9 billion, $1.7 billion, and $1.5 billion in 2007,
2006 and 2005, 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 $2.2 billion of
products from Fuji Xerox in 2008. Related party
transactions with Fuji Xerox are discussed in Note 7 –
Investments in Affiliates, at Equity in the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Brazil Tax and Labor Contingencies: At December 31,

2007, our Brazilian operations were involved in various
litigation matters and have been the subject of numerous
governmental assessments related to indirect and other
taxes as well as disputes associated with former
employees and contract labor. The tax matters, which
comprise a significant portion of the total contingencies,
principally relate to claims for taxes on the internal
transfer of inventory, municipal service taxes on rentals
and gross revenue taxes. We are disputing these tax
matters and intend to vigorously defend our position.
Based on the opinion of legal counsel and current reserves
for those matters deemed probable of loss, we do not
believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will
materially impact our results of operations, financial
position or cash flows. The labor matters principally relate
to claims made by former employees and contract labor
for the equivalent payment of all social security and other
related labor benefits, as well as consequential tax claims,
as if they were regular employees. As of December 31,
2007, the total amounts related to the unreserved portion
of the tax and labor contingencies, inclusive of any related
interest, amounted to approximately $1.1 billion, with the
increase from the December 31, 2006 balance of $960
million primarily related to indexation, interest and
currency. In connection with the above proceedings,
customary local regulations may require us to make
escrow cash deposits or post other security of up to half of
the total amount in dispute. As of December 31, 2007 we
had $200 million of escrow cash deposits for matters we
are disputing and there are liens on certain Brazilian assets
with a net book value of $64 million and additional letters
of credit of approximately $84 million. Generally, any
escrowed amounts would be refundable and any liens
would be removed to the extent the matters are resolved

74

in our favor. We routinely assess all these matters as to
probability of ultimately incurring a liability against our
Brazilian operations and record our best estimate of the
ultimate loss in situations where we assess the likelihood
of an ultimate loss as probable.

Other Contingencies and Commitments: As more

fully discussed in Note 16 – Contingencies in the
Consolidated Financial Statements, we are involved in a
variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and
proceedings concerning securities law, intellectual
property law, environmental law, employment law and
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”).
In addition, guarantees, indemnifications and claims
may arise during the ordinary course of business from
relationships with suppliers, customers and
nonconsolidated affiliates. Nonperformance under a
contract including a guarantee, indemnification or claim
could trigger an obligation of the Company. We
determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency
should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed
probable and can be reasonably estimated. Should
developments in any of these areas cause a change in
our determination as to an unfavorable outcome and

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Although we generally do not utilize off-balance
sheet arrangements in our operations, we enter into
operating leases in the normal course of business. The
nature of these lease arrangements is discussed in Note
6-Land, Buildings and Equipment, Net in the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, we have
utilized special purpose entities (“SPEs”) in conjunction
with certain financing transactions. The SPEs utilized in
conjunction with these transactions are consolidated in
our financial statements in accordance with applicable
accounting standards. These transactions, which are

Financial Risk Management

We are exposed to market risk from foreign currency

exchange rates and interest rates, which could affect
operating results, financial position and cash flows. We
manage our exposure to these market risks through our
regular operating and financing activities and, when
appropriate, through the use of derivative financial
instruments. These derivative financial instruments are
utilized to hedge economic exposures as well as reduce
earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in
market rates. Refer to Note 13 – Financial Instruments in
the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion on our financial risk management.

result in the need to recognize a material accrual, or
should any of these matters result in a final 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 determination,
judgment or settlement occurs.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits: As of December 31,
2007, we had $303 million of unrecognized tax benefits.
This represents the tax benefits associated with various
tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, on domestic
and international tax returns that have not been
recognized in our financial statements due to uncertainty
regarding their resolution. The resolution or settlement of
these tax positions with the taxing authorities is at
various stages and therefore we are unable to make a
reliable estimate of the eventual cash flows by period
that may be required to settle these matters. In addition,
certain of these matters may not require cash settlement
due to the existence of credit and net operating loss
carryforwards as well as other offsets, including the
indirect benefit from other taxing jurisdictions that may
be available.

discussed further in Note 4 – Receivables, Net in the
Consolidated Financial Statements, have been accounted
for as secured borrowings with the debt and related
assets remaining on our balance sheets. Although the
obligations related to these transactions are included in
our balance sheet, recourse is generally limited to the
secured assets and no other assets of the Company.

Refer to Note 16 – Contingencies in the

Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information regarding our guarantees, indemnifications
and warranty liabilities.

Assuming a 10% appreciation or depreciation in
foreign currency exchange rates from the quoted foreign
currency exchange rates at December 31, 2007, the
potential change in the fair value of foreign currency-
denominated assets and liabilities in each entity would
not be significant because all material currency asset and
liability exposures were economically hedged as of
December 31, 2007. A 10% appreciation or depreciation
of the U.S. dollar against all currencies from the quoted
foreign currency exchange rates at December 31, 2007
would have a $709 million impact on our cumulative
translation adjustment portion of equity. The amount

Xerox Annual Report 2007

75

permanently invested in foreign subsidiaries and affiliates,
primarily Xerox Limited, Fuji Xerox, Xerox Canada Inc. and
Xerox do Brasil, and translated into dollars using the
year-end exchange rates, was $7.1 billion at December 31,
2007.

Interest Rate Risk Management: The consolidated
weighted-average interest rates related to our debt and
liabilities to subsidiary trust issuing preferred securities for
2007, 2006 and 2005 approximated 7.1%, 6.8%, and
6.0%, respectively. Interest expense includes the impact
of our interest rate derivatives.

Virtually all customer-financing assets earn fixed
rates of interest. The interest rates on a significant portion
of the company’s term debt are fixed.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As of December 31, 2007, approximately $2.1 billion

of our debt and liability to subsidiary trust issuing
preferred securities carried variable interest rates,
including the effect of pay-variable interest rate swaps we
are utilizing with the intent to reduce the effective interest
rate on our high coupon debt.

The fair market values of our fixed-rate financial
instruments are sensitive to changes in interest rates. At
December 31, 2007, a 10% change in market interest
rates would change the fair values of such financial
instruments by approximately $221 million.

We reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition,

we discussed our revenue growth for the year ended December 31, 2007 using non-GAAP financial measures.
Management believes these measures give investors an additional perspective of revenue trends, as well as the impact to
the company of the acquisition of GIS in May 2007. To understand these trends in the business, we believe that it is
helpful to adjust revenue to illustrate the impact on revenue growth rates of our acquisition of GIS. We have done this by
including GIS’ revenue for the comparable 2006 period. We refer to this adjusted revenue as “adjusted revenue” in the
following reconciliation table. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide an additional
means of analyzing the current periods’ results against the corresponding prior periods’ results. However, all of these
non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the company’s reported results
prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly
comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is as follows:

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

References herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,”
and Xerox refer to Xerox Corporation and its consolidated
subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires
otherwise.

Operations before Income Taxes, Equity Income,
Discontinued Operations and Cumulative Effect of Change
in Accounting Principle” as “pre-tax income,” throughout
the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation:
We are a technology and services enterprise and a leader
in the global document market. We develop, manufacture,
market, service and finance a complete range of
document equipment, solutions and services.

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 entities 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% ownership), are accounted for
using the equity method of 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.

We consolidate variable interest entities if we are

deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the entity.
Operating results for variable interest entities in which we
are determined to be the primary beneficiary are included
in the Consolidated Statements of Income from the date
such determination is made.

For convenience and ease of reference, we refer to
the financial statement caption “Income from Continuing

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 contingent
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 limited
to: (i) allocation of revenues and fair values in leases and
other multiple element arrangements; (ii) accounting for
residual values; (iii) economic lives of leased assets;
(iv) allowance for doubtful accounts; (v) inventory
valuation; (vi) restructuring and related charges; (vii) asset
impairments; (viii) depreciable lives of assets; (ix) useful
lives of intangible assets; (x) pension and post-retirement
benefit plans; (xi) income tax reserves and valuation
allowances and (xii) 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 additional 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 estimation 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:

Business Combinations and Noncontrolling

Interests: In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“FAS
141(R)”), and SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of
ARB No. 51” (“FAS 160”).

•

In-process research and development (IPRD) will be
recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible
asset at the acquisition date;

• Restructuring costs associated with a business

combination will be generally expensed subsequent to
the acquisition date; and

FAS 141(R) significantly changes the accounting for

• Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances

business combinations. Under FAS 141(R), an acquiring
entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-
date at fair value with limited exceptions. FAS 141(R)
further changes the accounting treatment for certain
specific items, including:
• Acquisition costs will be generally expensed as

incurred;

• Noncontrolling interests (formerly known as “minority
interests” – see FAS 160 discussion below) will be
valued at fair value at the acquisition date;

• Acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair
value at the acquisition date and subsequently
measured at either the higher of such amount or the
amount determined under existing guidance for
non-acquired contingencies;

and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition
date generally will affect income tax expense.

FAS 141(R) includes a substantial number of new
disclosure requirements. FAS 141(R) applies prospectively
to our business combinations for which the acquisition
date is on or after January 1, 2009.

FAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting
standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary
and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically,
this statement requires the recognition of noncontrolling
interests (minority interests) as equity in the consolidated
financial statements and separate from the parent’s
equity. The amount of net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests will be included in consolidated
net income on the face of the income statement. FAS 160

82

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a
subsidiary that does not result in deconsolidation are
treated as equity transactions if the parent retains its
controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement
requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net
income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or
loss will be measured using the fair value of the
noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation
date. FAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure
requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its
noncontrolling interest.

FAS 160 is effective for our fiscal year, and interim
periods within such year, beginning January 1, 2009. Early
adoption of both FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 is prohibited.
The adoption of FAS 160 will result in the reclassification
of minority interests from long term liabilities to
shareholders’ equity. The balance at December 31, 2007
was $103. We are currently evaluating further impacts, if
any, of these standards on our financial statements.

Income Tax Accounting: In 2006, the FASB issued

Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109” (“FIN 48”) which we adopted on January 1,
2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition
threshold for a tax position taken or expected to be taken
in a tax return that is required to be met before being
recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also
provides guidance on derecognition, measurement,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure and transition. The cumulative effect of
adopting FIN 48 of $2 was recorded as a reduction to
Retained earnings. The total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits as of the date of adoption was $287. Refer to
Note 15-Income and Other Taxes for additional
information regarding unrecognized tax benefits.

Benefit Plans Accounting: In 2006, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment
of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (“FAS
158”) which requires the recognition of an asset or liability
for the funded status of defined pension and other
postretirement benefit plans in the statement of financial
position of the sponsoring entity. The funded status of a
benefit plan is measured as the difference between plan
assets at fair value and the benefit obligation. The initial

incremental recognition of the funded status under FAS
158 of our defined pension and other post retirement
benefit plans, as well as subsequent changes in our funded
status that are not included in net periodic benefit cost will
be reflected in shareholders’ equity and other
comprehensive loss, respectively. As of December 31,
2006, the net unfunded status of our benefit plans was
$2,842 and recognition of this status upon the adoption
of FAS 158 resulted in an after-tax charge to equity of
$1,024. Prior to the adoption of FAS 158, we recorded an
after-tax credit to our minimum pension liability of $131,
for a total equity charge in 2006 related to the funded
status of our benefit plans of $893. Amounts recognized in
accumulated other comprehensive loss are adjusted as
they are subsequently recognized as a component of net
periodic benefit cost. The method of calculating net
periodic benefit cost will not change from existing
guidance. Refer to Note 14-Employee Benefit Plans for
additional information.

The funded status recognition and certain disclosure
provisions of FAS 158 were effective as of our fiscal year
ending December 31, 2006. FAS 158 also requires the
consistent measurement of plan assets and benefit
obligations as of the date of our fiscal year-end statement
of financial position effective for the year ending
December 31, 2008, with early adoption permitted. Since
several of our international plans currently have a
September 30th measurement date, this standard will
require us to change, in 2008, that measurement date to
December 31st. The adoption of this requirement by our
international plans will not have a material effect on our
financial condition or results of operations. The effect of
adoption by our international plans resulted in a
January 1, 2008 opening retained earnings charge of $16,
deferred tax asset increase of $4, pension asset reduction
of $9, a pension liability increase of $6 and a credit to
accumulated other comprehensive loss of $5.

FAS 158 was not effective for our equity investment

in Fuji Xerox (“FX”) until their annual year-end of
March 31, 2007. Upon FX’s adoption of FAS 158, we
recorded a $5 charge to equity representing our share of
their after-tax charge to equity for the unfunded status of
their benefit plans. We also recorded a $44 after-tax
charge to equity for our portion of a minimum pension
liability adjustment recorded by FX prior to their adoption
of FAS 158 for a total equity charge in 2007 related to the
funded status of FX’s benefit plans of $49.

Fair Value Accounting: In 2006, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”).
FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a market-based
framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS
157 is applicable whenever another accounting
pronouncement requires or permits assets and liabilities to
be measured at fair value. FAS 157 does not expand or
require any new fair value measures, however the
application of this statement may change current practice.
The requirements of FAS 157 are first effective for our
fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. However, in
February 2008 the FASB decided that an entity need not
apply this standard to nonfinancial assets and liabilities
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until the
subsequent year. Accordingly, our adoption of this
standard on January 1, 2008 is limited to financial assets
and liabilities, which primarily affects the valuation of our
derivative contracts. We do not believe the initial adoption
of FAS 157 will have a material effect on our financial
condition or results of operations. However, we are still in
the process of evaluating this standard with respect to its
effect on nonfinancial assets and liabilities and therefore
have not yet determined the impact that it will have on
our financial statements upon full adoption.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,
“The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits entities to choose
to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option
will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each
subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be
elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with few
exceptions. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and
disclosure requirements to facilitate comparisons between
companies that choose different measurement attributes
for similar assets and liabilities. The requirements of FAS
159 are effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1,
2008. We do not believe that the adoption of this
statement will have a material effect on our financial
condition or results of operations as election of this option
for our financial instruments is expected to be limited.

compensation expense using a fair value based method
for costs related to all share-based payments, including
stock options. On January 1, 2006, we adopted FAS 123(R)
using the modified prospective transition method and
therefore we did not restate the results of prior periods.
Prior to the adoption of FAS 123(R), under previous
accounting guidance, we did not expense stock options, as
there was no intrinsic value associated with the options
granted because the exercise price was set equal to the
market price at the date of grant. The adoption of FAS
123(R) was immaterial to our results of operations
primarily as a result of changes made in our stock-based
compensation programs in 2005, including the
accelerated vesting of substantially all outstanding
unvested stock options prior to the adoption of FAS
123(R).

In 2005, we implemented changes in our stock-based

compensation programs that included expanded use of
restricted stock grants with time and performance-based
restrictions in lieu of stock options. Prior to this change, our
stock-based compensation programs primarily consisted
of stock option grants. These new restricted stock awards
are reflected as compensation expense in our results of
operations for all years presented and the adoption of FAS
123(R) did not materially affect the expense recognized
for these awards.

In 2005, we accelerated the vesting of approximately
3.6 million stock options granted in 2004 that would have
been scheduled to vest on January 1, 2007, to
December 31, 2005. The accelerated vesting resulted in
substantially all outstanding stock options being vested at
the date of the adoption of FAS 123(R). The primary
purpose of this accelerated vesting was to reduce our pre-
tax compensation expense in 2006 by approximately $31
or $0.02 per diluted share.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three

years ended December 31, 2007 was as follows (in
millions):

Stock-Based Compensation: In 2004, the FASB

Prior to 2006, in accordance with previous accounting

issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS
123(R)”), which requires companies to recognize

guidance we did not recognize compensation expense
relating to employee stock options because the exercise

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

price was equal to the market price at the date of grant. If
we had elected to recognize compensation expense using
a FAS 123(R) methodology our 2005 net income and
earnings per share would have been reduced by $88 and
$0.09 per diluted share, respectively.

Refer to Note 17 – Shareholders’ Equity – “Stock-
Based Compensation” for additional disclosures regarding
our stock compensation programs.

Other Accounting Changes: In March 2005, the

FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations – an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (“FIN 47”). FIN
47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair
value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the
fair value can be reasonably estimated. A conditional
asset retirement obligation is a legal obligation to perform
an asset retirement activity in which the timing or method
of settlement are conditional upon a future event that
may or may not be within control of the entity. The

adoption of FIN 47 in 2005 resulted in an after-tax charge
of $8 ($12 pre-tax) and was recorded as a cumulative
effect of change in accounting principle. This charge
represented conditional asset retirement obligations
associated with leased facilities where we are required to
remove certain leasehold improvements and restore the
facility to its original condition at lease termination.
In June 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus

reached on EITF Issue No. 06-2, “Accounting for
Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits Pursuant to
FASB Statement No. 43” (“EITF 06-2”). EITF 06-2 clarifies
recognition guidance on the accrual of employees’ rights
to compensated absences under a sabbatical or other
similar benefit arrangement. We recorded a $7 after-tax
charge to Retained earnings in 2007 reflecting our share
of the cumulative effect recorded by Fuji Xerox upon
adoption of EITF 06-2. With the exception of this charge,
the adoption of EITF 06-2 did not impact the Company as
we do not have a similar benefit arrangement.

Summary of Accounting Policies:

Revenue Recognition: 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 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 customer
installable products are recognized upon shipment or
receipt by the customer according to the customer’s
shipping terms. Revenues from equipment 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 generally on a straight-line
basis.

Service: Service revenues are derived primarily from

maintenance contracts on our equipment sold to
customers and are recognized over the term of the

contracts. 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, other than the
product warranty obligations associated with certain of
our low end products in the Office segment, we do not
have any significant product warranty obligations,
including any obligations under customer satisfaction
programs.

Revenues associated with outsourcing services as well

as professional and value-added services are generally
recognized as such services are performed. In those service
arrangements where final acceptance of a system or
solution by the customer is required, revenue is deferred
until all acceptance criteria have been met. Costs
associated with service arrangements are generally
recognized as incurred. Initial direct costs of an
arrangement are capitalized and amortized over the
contractual service period. Long-lived assets used in the
fulfillment of the arrangements are capitalized and
depreciated over the shorter of their useful life or the term
of the contract. Losses on service arrangements are
recognized in the period that the contractual loss becomes
probable and estimable.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Sales to distributors and resellers: We utilize

distributors and resellers to sell certain of our products to
end-users. We refer to our distributor and reseller network
as our two-tier distribution model. Sales to distributors and
resellers are recognized as revenue when products are sold
to such distributors and resellers, as long as all
requirements for revenue recognition have been met.
Distributors and resellers participate in various cooperative
marketing and other programs, and we record provisions
for these programs as a reduction to revenue when the
sales occur. We also similarly account for our estimates of
sales returns and other allowances when the sales occur
based on our historical experience.

Supplies: Supplies revenue generally is recognized

upon shipment or utilization by customers in accordance
with the sales terms.

Software: Software included within our equipment

and services is generally considered incidental and is
therefore accounted for as part of the equipment sales or
services revenues. Software accessories sold in connection
with our equipment sales as well as free-standing software
revenues are accounted for in accordance with AICPA
Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue
Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”). In most cases, these software
products are sold as part of multiple element
arrangements and include software maintenance
agreements for the delivery of technical service as well as
unspecified upgrades or enhancements on a
when-and-if-available basis. In those software accessory
and free-standing software arrangements that include
more than one element, we allocate the revenue among
the elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence
(“VSOE”) of fair value. VSOE of fair value is based on the
price charged when the deliverable is sold separately by us
on a regular basis and not as part of the multiple-element
arrangement. Revenue allocated to software is normally
recognized upon delivery while revenue allocated to the
software maintenance element is recognized ratably over
the term of the arrangement.

Revenue Recognition for Leases: Our accounting for

leases involves specific determinations under SFAS No. 13,
which often involve complex provisions and significant
judgments. The two primary criteria of SFAS No. 13 which
we use to classify 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% of the economic life of the

equipment and 2) a review of the present value of the
minimum lease payments to determine if they are equal
to or greater than 90% of the fair market value of the
equipment at the inception of the lease. Our leases in our
Latin America operations have historically been recorded
as operating leases given the cancellability of the contract
or because the recoverability of the lease investment is
deemed not to be predictable at lease inception.

The critical elements that we consider with respect to

our lease accounting are the determination of the
economic life and the fair value of equipment, including
the residual value. For purposes of determining the
economic life, we consider the most objective measure to
be the original contract term, since most equipment is
returned by lessees at or near the end of the contracted
term. The economic 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
percentage of our leases have original terms longer than
five years. We continually evaluate the economic life of
both existing and newly introduced products for purposes
of this determination. Residual values, if any, are
established at lease inception using estimates of fair value
at the end of the lease term.

The vast majority of our leases that qualify as sales-

type are non-cancelable and include cancellation penalties
approximately equal to the full value of the lease
receivables. A portion of our business involves sales to
governmental units. Governmental units are those entities
that have statutorily defined funding or annual budgets
that are determined by their legislative bodies. Certain of
our governmental contracts may have cancellation
provisions or renewal clauses that are required by law,
such as 1) those dependant on fiscal funding outside of a
governmental unit’s control, 2) those that can be
cancelled if deemed in the best interest of the
governmental unit’s taxpayers or 3) those that must be
renewed each fiscal year, given limitations that may exist
on entering into multi-year contracts that are imposed by
statute. In these circumstances, we carefully evaluate
these contracts to assess whether cancellation is remote.
The evaluation of a lease agreement with a renewal
option includes an assessment as to whether the renewal
is reasonably assured based on the apparent intent and
our experience of such governmental unit. We further
ensure that the contract provisions described above are
offered only in instances where required by law. Where

86

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

such contract terms are not legally required, we consider
the arrangement to be cancelable and account for the
lease as an operating lease.

After the initial lease of equipment to our customers,

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash
equivalents consist of cash on hand, including money-
market funds, and investments with original maturities of
three months or less.

we may enter subsequent transactions with the same
customer whereby we extend the term. Revenue from
such lease extensions is typically recognized over the
extension period.

Revenue Recognition Under Bundled Arrangements:

We sell the majority of our products and services under
bundled lease arrangements, which typically include
equipment, service, supplies and financing components
for which the customer pays a single negotiated fixed
minimum monthly payment for all elements over the
contractual lease term. These arrangements typically also
include an incremental, variable component for page
volumes in excess of contractual page volume minimums,
which are often expressed in terms of price per page. 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 contingent on whether or not such
minimums are exceeded (“contingent payments”). The
minimum contractual committed page volumes are
typically negotiated to equal the customer’s estimated
page volume at lease inception. In applying our lease
accounting methodology, we only consider the fixed
payments for purposes of allocating to the relative fair
value elements of the contract. Contingent payments, if
any, are inherently uncertain and therefore are recognized
as revenue in the period when the customer exceeds the
minimum copy volumes specified in the contract.
Revenues under bundled arrangements are allocated
considering the relative fair values of the lease and
non-lease deliverables included in the bundled
arrangement based upon the estimated relative fair
values of each element. Lease deliverables include
maintenance and executory costs, equipment and
financing, while non-lease deliverables generally consist of
the supplies and non-maintenance services. Our revenue
allocation for the lease deliverables begins by allocating
revenues to the maintenance and executory costs plus
profit thereon. The remaining amounts are allocated to
the equipment and financing elements.

Restricted Cash and Investments: Several of our

secured financing arrangements and other contracts,
require us to post cash collateral or maintain minimum
cash balances in escrow. In addition, as more fully
discussed in Note 16 Contingencies, various litigation
matters in Brazil require us to make cash deposits as a
condition of continuing the litigation. These cash amounts
are reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets,
depending on when the cash will be contractually
released. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, such restricted
cash amounts were as follows (in millions):

Of these amounts, $45 and $236 were included in
Other current assets and $219 and $190 were included in
Other long-term assets, as of December 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively.

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
evaluations of our receivables and evaluations of the
default risks of repayment. Allowances for doubtful
accounts receivable were $128 and $116, as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Allowances
for doubtful accounts on finance receivables were $203
and $198 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Inventories: Inventories are carried at the lower of

average cost or market. Inventories also include
equipment that is returned at the end of the lease term.
Returned equipment is recorded at the lower of remaining
net book value or salvage value. Salvage value consists of
the estimated market value (generally determined based

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

on replacement cost) of the salvageable component parts,
which are expected to be used in the remanufacturing
process. We regularly review inventory quantities and
record a provision for excess and/or obsolete inventory
based primarily on our estimated forecast of product
demand, production requirements and servicing
commitments. Several factors may influence the
realizability of our inventories, including our decision to
exit a product line, technological changes and new
product development. The provision for excess and/or
obsolete raw materials and equipment inventories is
based primarily on near term forecasts of product demand
and include consideration of new product introductions as
well as changes in remanufacturing strategies. The
provision for excess and/or obsolete service parts inventory
is based primarily on projected servicing requirements over
the life of the related equipment populations.

Land, Buildings and Equipment and Equipment on

Operating Leases: Land, buildings and equipment are
recorded at cost. Buildings and equipment are depreciated
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 estimated residual value over the lease
term. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method. Significant improvements are capitalized and
maintenance and repairs are expensed. Refer to Note
5-Inventories and Equipment on Operating Leases, Net
and Note 6-Land, Buildings and Equipment, Net for further
discussion.

Internal Use Software: We capitalize direct costs

associated with developing, purchasing or otherwise
acquiring software for internal use and amortize these
costs on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life
of the software, beginning when the software is
implemented. Useful lives of the software generally vary
from 3 to 5 years. Amortization expense, including
applicable impairment charges, was $76, $73, and $92 for
the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. Capitalized costs were $270 and $217 as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill is
tested for impairment annually or more frequently if an
event or circumstance indicates that an impairment loss
may have been incurred. Application of the goodwill

impairment test requires judgment, including the
identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and
liabilities to reporting units, assignment of
goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair
value of each reporting unit. We estimate the fair value of
each reporting unit using a discounted cash flow
methodology. This requires us to use significant judgment
including estimation of future cash flows, which is
dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-
term rate of growth for our business, the useful life over
which cash flows will occur, determination of our weighted
average cost of capital, and relevant market data.

Other intangible assets primarily consist of assets

obtained in connection with business acquisitions,
including installed customer base and distribution network
relationships, patents on existing technology and
trademarks. We apply an impairment evaluation whenever
events or changes in business circumstances indicate that
the carry value of our intangible assets may not be
recoverable. Other intangible assets are amortized on a
straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. We
believe that the straight-line method of amortization
reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the
intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount
of economic benefits obtained annually by the Company.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: We review the
recoverability of our long-lived assets, including buildings,
equipment, internal-use software and other intangible
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 carrying 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. Our primary measure of fair value is based on
discounted cash flows.

Treasury Stock: We account for repurchased
common stock under the cost method and include such
treasury stock as a component of our Common
shareholders’ equity. Retirement of Treasury stock is
recorded as a reduction of Common stock and Additional
paid-in-capital at the time such retirement is approved by
our Board of Directors.

Research, Development and Engineering (“R,D&E”):

Research, development and engineering costs are
expensed as incurred. R,D&E was $912, $922 and $943,
for the three years ended December 31, 2007,
respectively. Research and development (“R&D”) costs
were $764 in 2007, $761 in 2006 and $755 in 2005.
Sustaining engineering costs are incurred with respect to
on-going product improvements or environmental
compliance after initial product launch. Our sustaining
engineering costs were $148, $161, and $188, for the
three years ended December 31, 2007, respectively.

Restructuring Charges: Costs associated with exit or

disposal activities, including lease termination costs and
certain employee severance costs associated with
restructuring, plant closing or other activity, are recognized
when they are incurred. In those geographies where we
have either a formal severance plan or a history of
consistently providing severance benefits representing a
substantive plan, we recognize severance costs when they
are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Pension and Post-Retirement Benefit Obligations:

We sponsor pension plans in various forms in several
countries covering substantially all employees who meet
eligibility requirements. Post-retirement benefit plans
cover primarily U.S. employees for retirement medical
costs. As permitted by existing accounting rules, we
employ a delayed recognition feature in measuring the
costs of pension and post-retirement benefit plans. This
requires 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 as components of net periodic
benefit cost, except to the extent they may be offset by
subsequent changes. At any point, changes that have
been identified and quantified but not recognized as
components of net periodic benefit cost, are recognized in
accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax.

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 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 delayed recognition requirement. 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 systematic
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.

Each year, the difference between the actual return
on plan assets and the expected return on plan assets is
added to, or subtracted from, any cumulative actuarial
gain or loss that arose in prior years. Subsequent to the
adoption of FAS 158, this amount is a component of the
net actuarial gain or loss recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive loss and is subject to subsequent
amortization to net periodic pension cost in future periods
over the remaining service lives of the employees
participating in the pension plan.

The discount rate is used to present value our future

anticipated benefit obligations. In estimating our discount
rate, we consider rates of return on high quality fixed-
income investments included in various published bond
indexes, adjusted to eliminate the effects of call provisions
and differences in the timing and amounts of cash
outflows related to the bonds, as well as, the expected
timing of pension and other benefit payments. In the U.S.
and the U.K., which comprise approximately 80% of our
projected benefit obligation, we consider the Moody’s Aa
Corporate Bond Index and the International Index
Company’s iBoxx Sterling Corporate AA Cash Bond Index,
respectively in the determination of the appropriate

discount rate assumptions. Refer to Note 14-Employee
Benefit Plans for further information.

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 translated at
average exchange rates for the applicable period. The
translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated
other comprehensive loss. The U.S. dollar is used as the
functional currency for certain subsidiaries that conduct
their business in U.S. dollars or operate in hyperinflationary
economies. A combination 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 $8, $39 and $5 in 2007, 2006
and 2005, respectively, and are included in Other
expenses, net in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Income.

Note 2 – Segment Reporting

Our reportable segments are consistent with how we
manage the business and view the markets we serve. Our
reportable segments are Production, Office, Developing

Markets Operations (“DMO”) and Other. The Production
and Office segments are centered around strategic
product groups which share common technology,
manufacturing and product platforms, as well as classes of
customers.

The Production segment includes black-and-white

products which operate at speeds over 90 pages per
minute (“ppm”) excluding 95 ppm with an embedded
controller and color products which operate at speeds over
40 ppm, excluding 50 and 60 ppm products with an
embedded controller. Products include the Xerox iGen3
digital color production press, Xerox Nuvera, DocuTech,
DocuPrint, and DocuColor families, as well as older
technology light-lens products. These products are sold
predominantly through direct sales channels in North
America and Europe to Fortune 1000, graphic arts,
government, education and other public sector customers.

The Office segment includes black-and-white

products which operate at speeds up to 90 ppm as well as
95 ppm with an embedded controller and color devices up
to 40 ppm as well as 50 and 60 ppm products with an
embedded controller. Products include the suite of
CopyCentre, WorkCentre, and WorkCentre Pro digital
multifunction systems, DocuColor color multifunction
products, color laser, solid ink color printers and
multifunction devices, monochrome laser desktop printers,
digital and light-lens copiers, facsimile products and
non-Xerox branded products with similar specifications.
These products are sold through direct and indirect sales
channels in North America and Europe to global, national
and mid-size commercial customers as well as
government, education and other public sector customers.
Approximately 75% of GIS’ revenue is included in our
Office segment representing those sales and services that
align to our Office segment.

The DMO segment includes our operations in Latin
America, Brazil, the Middle East, India, Eurasia, Central
and Eastern Europe and Africa. This segment’s sales
consist of office and production including a large
proportion of office devices and printers which operate at
speeds of 11-40 ppm. Management serves and evaluates
these markets on an aggregate geographic basis, rather
than on a product basis.

The segment classified as Other includes several
units, none of which met the thresholds for separate
segment reporting. This group primarily includes Xerox
Supplies Business Group (predominantly paper sales),

value-added services, Wide Format Systems, Xerox
Technology Enterprises, royalty and licensing revenues,
GIS network integration solutions and electronic
presentation systems, equity net income and
non-allocated Corporate items. Value-added services
includes the results of our acquisitions of Amici LLC (now
Xerox Litigation Services) and Advectis, Inc. (now Xerox

Mortgage Services). Other segment profit includes the
operating results from these entities, other less significant
businesses, our equity income from Fuji Xerox, and certain
costs which have not been allocated to the Production,
Office and DMO segments, including non-financing
interest as well as other items included in Other expenses,

Note 3 – Acquisitions

Global Imaging Systems, Inc: In May 2007, we
acquired GIS, a provider of office technology for small and
mid-size businesses in the United States for cash
consideration of $29 per common share. The acquisition
of GIS expanded our access to the U.S. small and mid-size
business market. The aggregate purchase price was
approximately $1.5 billion, consisting of cash paid for
outstanding stock, vested employee stock options and
restricted stock and direct transaction costs. In addition, in
connection with the closing, we also repaid $200 of GIS’
outstanding bank debt. The results of operations for GIS

are included in our Consolidated Statements of Income as
of May 9, 2007, the effective date of acquisition. Refer to
Note 2 – Segment Reporting for a discussion of the
segment classification of GIS.

The total cost of the acquisition has been allocated to

the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on
their respective estimated fair values. Goodwill and other
intangibles recorded in connection with the acquisition
totaled $1.7 billion based on third-party valuations and
management’s estimates for those acquired intangible
assets. Aggregate amortization expense associated with

the intangibles acquired as part of the acquisition was $16
for 2007. The primary elements that generated goodwill
are the value of the acquired assembled workforce,
specialized processes and procedures and operating
synergies, none of which qualify as a separate intangible
asset.

Advectis, Inc: In October 2007, we acquired Advectis,

Inc. (“Advectis”), a privately-owned provider of a
web-based solution to electronically manage the process
needed to underwrite, audit, collaborate, deliver and
archive mortgage loan documents for $30 in cash. The
purchase agreement requires us to pay the sellers an
additional $11 if certain performance conditions are
achieved over the next three years. The operating results
of Advectis are not material to our financial statements,
and are included within our Other segment from the date
of acquisition. The purchase price is expected to be
primarily allocated to intangible assets and goodwill and
will be based on management’s estimates which have not
yet been finalized.

GIS Acquisitions: In the latter half of 2007, GIS
acquired four businesses that provide office-imaging
solutions and related services for $39 in cash. The
operating results of these entities are not material to our
financial statements, and are included within our Office
segment from the date of acquisition as part of GIS. The
purchase prices are expected to be primarily allocated to
intangible assets and goodwill and will be based on
management’s estimates which have not yet been
finalized.

De Lage Landen Joint Venture: In July 2007, we
purchased De Lage Landen’s (“DLL”) 51% ownership
interest in our lease financing joint venture in the
Netherlands. Refer to Note 4 – Receivables, Net for more
information regarding this purchase.

XMPie, Inc: In November 2006, we acquired the stock

of XMPie, Inc. (“XMPie”), a provider of variable
information software, for $54 in cash, including
transaction costs. XMPie’s software enables printers and
marketers to create and print personalized and customized
marketing materials to help improve response rates. We
had an existing relationship with XMPie, as its largest
reseller, and its software is primarily sold together with our
Production systems including the iGen3.

The operating results of XMPie are not material to

our financial statements, and are included within our
Production segment from the date of acquisition. The
purchase price was allocated to Goodwill $48, Intangible
assets, net $9 and Deferred tax liabilities $(3). The
primary element that generated the Goodwill is the value

Xerox Annual Report 2007

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

of synergies between the entities, which do not qualify as
an amortizable intangible asset. The allocations were
based on third-party valuations and management’s
estimates.

Amici LLC: In July 2006, we acquired all of the net

assets of Amici LLC (“Amici”), a provider of electronic-
discovery (e-discovery), services for $175 in cash, including
transaction costs. Amici provides comprehensive litigation
discovery management services, including the conversion,
hosting and production of electronic and hardcopy
documents. Amici also provides consulting and
professional services to assist attorneys in the discovery
process. The purchase agreement requires us to pay the

sellers an additional $20 if certain performance targets
are achieved in 2008, which would be an addition to the
acquired cost of the entity. The operating results of Amici
were not material to our financial statements and are
included within our Other segment from the date of
acquisition.

The purchase price was allocated to Net assets $2,
Intangible assets $37 (consisting of customer relationships
of $29 and software of $8), and Goodwill of $136. The
primary elements that generated the Goodwill are the
value of synergies and the acquired assembled workforce,
neither of which qualify as a separate intangible asset. The
allocations were based on third-party valuations and
management’s estimates.

Note 4 – Receivables, Net

Finance Receivables: Finance receivables result from installment arrangements and sales-type leases arising from

the marketing of our equipment. These receivables are typically collateralized by a security interest in the underlying
assets. Finance receivables, net at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in millions):

Secured Funding Arrangements

GE Secured Borrowings: We have an agreement in

Under this agreement, new lease originations funded

the U.S. (the “Loan Agreement”) under which General
Electric Capital Corporation, a subsidiary of GE, provides
secured funding for our customer leasing activities in the
U.S. The maximum potential level of borrowing under
this agreement is a function of the size of the portfolio of
finance receivables generated by us that meet GE’s
funding requirements and cannot exceed $5 billion.

by GE, were transferred to a wholly-owned consolidated
subsidiary. The funds received under this agreement are
recorded as secured borrowings and together with the
associated lease receivables are included in our
Consolidated Balance Sheet. We and GE intended for the
transfers of the lease contracts to be “true sales at law”
and that the wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

be bankruptcy remote and have received opinions to that
effect from outside legal counsel. As a result, the
transferred receivables are not available to satisfy any of
our other obligations. The final funding date for the U.S.
facility is December 2010. There have been no new
borrowings under the Loan Agreement since December
2005.

We also had similar secured funding arrangements

with GE in the U.K. and Canada. In July 2007 and
December 2007, we repaid the outstanding loans under
those arrangements of £293 million (U.S. $593) and Cdn.
$41 million (U.S. $41) in the U.K. and Canada, respectively.

France Secured Borrowings: In October 2007, our

secured warehouse financing facility in France matured

and we repaid the outstanding borrowings of €331 million
(U.S. $469) under this program with proceeds from an
unsecured bank bridge loan due March 31, 2008.

DLL Secured Borrowings: In July 2007, we purchased
De Lage Landen’s (“DLL”) 51% ownership interest in our
lease financing joint venture in the Netherlands for $25
including accumulated dividends of $9. In connection with
the purchase, the secured borrowings to DLL of $153 were
repaid and the related finance receivables are no longer
encumbered. To fund the purchase and repayment we
borrowed $161 of unsecured bank debt due July 1, 2008.

The following table shows finance receivables and related secured debt as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Although the finance receivables are consolidated assets they are generally not available to satisfy our other obligations:

Accounts Receivable Sales Arrangement: We have a
facility in Europe that enables us to sell, on an on-going
basis, certain accounts receivables without recourse to a
third-party. During 2007 and 2006, we sold approximately

$326 and $23, respectively, of accounts receivables under
this facility. Fees associated with the 2007 sales were $2.
Of the amounts sold, $170 remained uncollected by the
third-party as of December 31, 2007.

support of global mainframe system processing,
application maintenance, desktop and helpdesk support,
voice and data network management and server

the sale as well as the loss on extinguishment are included
in Other expenses, net within the Consolidated Statements
of Income. In October 2007, we relocated our Corporate
headquarters to a leased facility in Norwalk, Connecticut.

In 2007, 2006 and 2005, we received dividends of

$37, $41 and $38, respectively, which were reflected as a
reduction in our investment. Additionally, we have a
technology agreement with Fuji Xerox whereby we receive
royalty payments for their use of our Xerox brand
trademark, as well as, rights to access their patent
portfolio in exchange for access to our patent portfolio. In
2006, we renewed our technology agreement with Fuji
Xerox (the “2006 Technology Agreement”). The 2006
Technology Agreement provides that Fuji Xerox pays us
royalties based on Fuji Xerox’s revenue. The 2006
Technology Agreement did not result in a material change
to the royalty revenues we receive from Fuji Xerox. In
general, all other existing agreements with respect to
intellectual property between the parties will remain in full
force and effect. Therefore, all technology licenses
previously granted between the parties will not be subject
to the 2006 Technology Agreement but will generally
remain subject to the terms of any such prior
arrangements. The only exception is that the licenses

previously granted under the 1999 Technology Agreement
were converted into fully paid-up and royalty free licenses.
In 2007, 2006 and 2005, we earned royalty revenues

under this agreement of $108, $117 and $123,
respectively, which are included in Service, outsourcing
and rental revenues in the Consolidated Statements of
Income. We also 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. Our purchase commitments 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, 2007

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was

$46, $45, and $42 for the years ended December 31,
2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and is expected to
approximate $46 in 2008 and approximate $45 annually
from 2009 through 2012.

Amortization expense is primarily recorded in Other
expenses, net, with the exception of amortization expense
associated with licensed technology, which is recorded in
Cost of sales and Cost of service, outsourcing and rentals,
as appropriate.

Note 9 – Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

We have engaged in a series of restructuring

programs related to downsizing our employee base, exiting
certain activities, outsourcing certain internal functions
and engaging in other actions designed to reduce our cost
structure and improve productivity. Management
continues to evaluate our business and, therefore, there
may be supplemental provisions for new plan initiatives as
well as changes in estimates to amounts previously
recorded, as payments are made or actions are completed.

Asset impairment charges were also incurred in connection
with these restructuring actions for those assets made
obsolete as a result of these programs.

The net restructuring and asset impairment charges
in the Consolidated Statements of Income totaled $(6),
$385 and $366 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

activity during the three years ended December 31, 2007

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

• The 2005 charges primarily related to initiatives to
eliminate approximately 3,900 positions worldwide.
The initiatives in 2005 were focused on cost reductions
in service, manufacturing and back office support
operations primarily within the Office and Production
segments. These charges were offset by reversals of
$27 primarily related to changes in estimates in
severance costs from previously recorded actions.
The following table summarizes the total amount of

costs incurred in connection with these restructuring
programs by segment for the three years ended

Restructuring: In recent years we have initiated a
series of ongoing restructuring initiatives designed to
leverage cost savings resulting from realized productivity
improvements, realign and lower our overall cost structure
and outsource certain internal functions. These initiatives
primarily include severance actions and impact all major
geographies and segments. Recent initiatives include:
• Restructuring activity was minimal in 2007 and the
related charges primarily reflected changes in
estimates in severance costs from previously recorded
actions.

• The 2006 charges primarily relate to the elimination of

approximately 3,400 positions primarily in North
America and Europe. The 2006 actions associated with
these charges primarily include the following: technical
and professional services infrastructure and global
back-office optimization; continued R&D efficiencies
and productivity improvements; supply chain
optimization to ensure, for example, alignment to our
global two-tier model implementation; and selected
off-shoring opportunities. The lease termination and
asset impairment charges primarily related to the
relocation of certain manufacturing operations as well
as an exit from certain leased and owned facilities.
These charges were offset by reversals of $35 primarily
related to changes in estimates in severance costs
from previously recorded actions.

performance-based instrument relating to the 1997
sale of The Resolution Group (“TRG”) net of remaining
net liabilities associated with our discontinued
operations of $28. The recovery of the performance-

2007 Credit Facility

In 2007, we amended and restated our $1.25 billion
unsecured 2006 credit facility. The amended and restated
facility (the “2007 Credit Facility”) increased the
maximum amount available for borrowing to $2 billion
and includes a $300 letter of credit subfacility. The Facility
is available, without sublimit, to certain of our qualifying
subsidiaries and includes provisions that would allow us to
increase the overall size of the Facility up to an aggregate
amount of $2.5 billion. It matures in 2012, although we
have the right to request a one year extension on each of
the first and second anniversaries of the Facility. Our
obligations under the Facility are unsecured and are not
currently guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. In the
event that any of our subsidiaries borrows under the
Facility, its borrowings thereunder would be guaranteed by
us.

Borrowings under the 2007 Credit Facility bear

interest at LIBOR plus a spread that will vary between
0.18% and 0.75% depending on our then current credit
ratings. The spread as of December 31, 2007 was 0.35%.
In addition, we are required to pay a facility fee on the
aggregate amount of the revolving credit facility. As of
December 31, 2007, we had borrowings of $600 and no
outstanding letters of credit under the 2007 Credit Facility
and the facility fee rate was 0.10%.

The facility contains various conditions to borrowing,

and affirmative, negative and financial maintenance
covenants. Certain of the more significant covenants are
summarized below:

(a) Maximum leverage ratio (a quarterly test that is
calculated as debt for borrowed money divided
by consolidated EBITDA) ranging from 4.00 to
3.25 over the life of the facility.

(c)

(b) Minimum interest coverage ratio (a quarterly
test that is calculated as consolidated EBITDA
divided by consolidated interest expense) may
not be less than 3.00:1.
Limitations on (i) liens securing debt of Xerox and
certain of our subsidiaries, (ii) certain
fundamental changes to corporate structure,
(iii) changes in nature of business and
(iv) limitations on debt incurred by certain
subsidiaries.

The 2007 Credit Facility also contains various events

of default, the occurrence of which could result in a
termination by the lenders and the acceleration of all our
obligations under the Facility. These events of default
include, without limitation:

(i) payment defaults, (ii) breaches of covenants under

the Facility (certain of which breaches do not have

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

any grace period), (iii) cross-defaults and acceleration to
certain of our other obligations and (iv) a change of
control of Xerox.

Senior Notes Offerings

In May 2007, we issued $1,100 of Senior Notes due
2012 (the “2012 Senior Notes”) at 99.613 percent of par,
resulting in net proceeds of $1,088. The 2012 Senior
Notes accrue interest at the rate of 5.50% per annum,
payable semiannually, and as a result of the discount,
have a weighted average effective interest rate of 5.59%.
In conjunction with the issuance of the 2012 Senior Notes,
debt issuance costs of $7 were deferred. The 2012 Senior
Notes are subordinated to our secured indebtedness and
rank equally with our other existing senior unsecured
indebtedness.

Zero Coupon Bonds

In July and August 2007, we issued $300 and $100,
respectively, of zero coupon bonds in private placement
transactions. The bonds mature in 2022 and the final
amounts due at maturity are $706 and $233, respectively.
The bonds are putable annually at the option of the bond
holder after two years.

Other Debt Activity

Bank Credit Facilities: In July 2007, our subsidiary in
the Netherlands entered into an unsecured €120 million
(U.S. $161) bank loan due July 1, 2008. The proceeds were
used to repay secured borrowings to DLL in connection
with our purchase of DLL’s interest in our lease financing
joint venture (Refer to Note 4-Receivables, Net for further
information). As of December 31, 2007, approximately
€120 million (U.S. $177) was outstanding under this loan.
In October 2007, we entered into a €330 million (U.S.
$466) bridge facility due March 31, 2008, in order to repay
maturing secured debt in France with Merrill Lynch. As of
December 31, 2007, approximately €55 million (U.S. $81)
was outstanding under this facility.

Guarantees: At December 31, 2007, we have

guaranteed $37 of indebtedness of our foreign
subsidiaries. This debt is included in our Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of such date. In addition, as of
December 31, 2007, $55 of letters of credit have been
issued in connection with insurance guarantees.

Interest: Interest paid on our short-term debt,
long-term debt and liabilities to subsidiary trusts issuing
preferred securities amounted to $552, $512 and $555
for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and
2005, respectively.

Interest expense and interest income for the three

years ended December 31, 2007 was as follows (in

Equipment financing interest is determined based on
an estimated cost of funds, applied against the estimated
level of debt required to support our net finance
receivables. The estimated cost of funds is based on a
blended rate for term and duration comparable to
available borrowing rates for a BBB rated company, which
are reviewed at the end of each period. The estimated
level of debt is based on an assumed 7 to 1 leverage ratio
of debt/equity as compared to our average finance
receivable balance during the applicable period.

Note 12 – Liability to Subsidiary Trust Issuing Preferred Securities

The Liability to Subsidiary Trust Issuing Preferred
Securities included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets of
$632 and $624 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, reflect our obligations to Xerox Capital Trust I
(“Trust I”) as a result of their loans to us from proceeds
related to their issuance of preferred securities. This
subsidiary is not consolidated in our financial statements
because we are not the primary beneficiary of the trust.
In 1997, Trust I issued 650 thousand of 8.0%

preferred securities (the “Preferred Securities”) to investors
for $644 ($650 liquidation value) and 20,103 shares of
common securities to us for $20. With the proceeds from
these securities, Trust I purchased $670 principal amount
of 8.0% Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2027 of the
Company (“the Debentures”). The Debentures represent all
of the assets of Trust I. On a consolidated basis, we
received net proceeds of $637 which was net of fees and
discounts of $13. Interest expense, together with the
amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts, was

Note 13 – Financial Instruments

$54 in 2007, 2006 and 2005. We have guaranteed, 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 accrue and
pay cash distributions semiannually at a rate of 8% per
year of the stated liquidation amount of one thousand
dollars per Preferred Security. 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 per
share plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date
fixed for redemption.

We are exposed to market risk from changes in
foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which
could affect operating results, financial position and cash
flows. We manage our exposure to these market risks
through our regular operating and financing activities and,
when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial
instruments. These derivative financial instruments are
utilized to hedge economic exposures as well as to reduce
earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in
market rates. As permitted, certain of these derivative
contracts have been designated for hedge accounting

treatment under SFAS No. 133. Certain of our derivatives do
not qualify for hedge accounting but are effective as
economic hedges of our inventory purchases and currency
exposure. These derivative contracts are accounted for using
the mark-to-market accounting method and accordingly are
exposed to some level of volatility. The level of volatility will
vary with the type and amount of derivative hedges
outstanding, as well as fluctuations in the currency and
interest rate market during the period. The related cash flow
impacts of all of our derivative activities are reflected as cash
flows from operating activities.

Xerox Annual Report 2007

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

We enter into limited types of derivative contracts,

including interest rate and cross currency interest rate
swap agreements, foreign currency spot, forward and
swap contracts and net purchased foreign currency
options to manage interest rate and foreign currency
exposures. Our primary foreign currency market
exposures include the Japanese Yen, Euro, and British
pound sterling. The fair market values of all our
derivative contracts change with fluctuations in interest
rates and/or currency rates and are designed so that any
changes in their values are offset by changes in the
values of the underlying exposures. Derivative financial
instruments are held solely as risk management tools and
not for trading or speculative purposes.

By their nature, all derivative instruments involve, to

varying degrees, elements of market and credit risk not
recognized in our financial statements. The market risk
associated with these instruments resulting from
currency exchange and interest rate movements is
expected to offset the market risk of the underlying
transactions, assets and liabilities being hedged. We do

not believe there is significant risk of loss in the event of
non-performance by the counterparties associated with
these instruments because these transactions are
executed with a diversified group of major financial
institutions. Further, our policy is to deal with
counterparties having a minimum investment-grade or
better credit rating. Credit risk is managed through the
continuous monitoring of exposures to such
counterparties.

Interest Rate Risk Management: We use interest

rate swap agreements to manage our interest rate
exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of variable
and fixed rate debt. These derivatives may be designated
as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges depending on
the nature of the risk being hedged. At December 31,
2007 and 2006, we had outstanding single currency
interest rate swap agreements with aggregate notional
amounts of $1.1 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively. The
net liability fair values at December 31, 2007 and 2006
were $6 and $41, respectively.

Fair Value Hedges: As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, pay variable/receive fixed interest rate swaps with notional

amounts of $1.1 billion and $1.4 billion were designated and accounted for as fair value hedges. The swaps were
structured to hedge the fair value of related debt by converting them from fixed rate instruments to variable rate
instruments. No ineffective portion was recorded to earnings during 2007, 2006, or 2005. The following is a summary of
our fair value hedges at December 31, 2007:

Cash Flow Hedges: During 2006, pay fixed/receive

variable interest rate swaps with notional amounts of
£200 million ($392) and a net asset fair value of $1,
associated with the U.K. GE secured borrowing were
designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges. The
swaps were structured to hedge the LIBOR interest rate of
the debt by converting it from a variable rate instrument
to a fixed rate instrument. The swaps were terminated in
connection with the repayment of this borrowing in July
2007. No ineffective portion was recorded to earnings

during 2007 and 2006. Refer to Note 4 – Receivables, Net
for additional information.

Terminated Swaps: During the period from 2004 to
2007, we terminated interest rate swaps which had been
designated as fair value hedges of certain debt
instruments. These terminated interest rate swaps had an
aggregate notional value of $2.6 billion. The associated
net fair value adjustments to the debt instruments are
being amortized to interest expense over the remaining

term of the related notes. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, the
amortization of these fair value adjustments reduced
interest expense by $9, $9 and $11, respectively, and we
expect to record a net increase to interest expense of $19
in future years through 2027.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management: We may use

certain derivative instruments to manage the exposures
associated with the foreign currency exchange risks
discussed below.

Issuance of foreign currency denominated debt
• We enter into cross-currency interest rate swap

agreements to swap the proceeds and related interest
payments with a counterparty. In return, we receive
and effectively denominate the debt in local
functional currencies.

• We utilize forward exchange contracts to hedge the
currency exposure for interest payments on foreign
currency denominated debt.

• These derivatives may be designated as fair value

hedges or cash flow hedges depending on the nature
of the risk being hedged.

Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities
• We generally utilize forward foreign exchange

contracts and purchased option contracts to hedge
these exposures.

• Changes in the value of these currency derivatives are
recorded in earnings together with the offsetting
foreign exchange gains and losses on the underlying
assets and liabilities.

Purchases of foreign-sourced inventory
• We generally utilize forward foreign exchange

contracts and purchased option contracts to hedge
these anticipated transactions. These contracts
generally mature in six months or less.

• Although these contracts are intended to

economically hedge foreign currency risks to the
extent possible, the differences between the contract
terms of our derivatives and the underlying forecasted
exposures have limited our ability to obtain hedge
accounting for all such derivatives. Accordingly,
changes in value for a majority of these derivatives
were recorded directly through earnings. However,
during 2007 we started to designate certain contracts
hedging our foreign currency denominated inventory
purchases as cash- flow hedges – see “Cash Flow
Hedges” below for additional information.

During 2007, 2006, and 2005, we recorded net
currency losses of $8, $39 and $5, respectively. Net
currency losses primarily result from the mark-to-market
of foreign exchange contracts utilized to hedge foreign
currency denominated assets and liabilities, the cost of
hedging foreign currency-denominated assets and
liabilities, the re-measurement of foreign currency-
denominated assets and liabilities and the
mark-to-market impact of economic hedges of
anticipated transactions for which we do not apply cash
flow hedge accounting treatment.

At December 31, 2007, we had outstanding forward

exchange and purchased option contracts with gross
notional values of $2,085. The following is a summary of
the primary hedging positions and corresponding fair
values held as of December 31, 2007:

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

At December 31, 2006, we had outstanding Japanese

Inventory purchases: During 2007 we began to

Yen/USD cross-currency interest rate swap agreements
with aggregate notional amounts of $126 and a net
liability fair value of $9. These contracts matured during
2007 together with the scheduled repayment of the
related debt. No such contracts were outstanding at
December 31, 2007.

Cash Flow Hedges:

Debt related: As of December 31, 2006, our cross

currency interest rate swaps were used to hedge the
currency exposure for interest payments and principal on
half of our Japanese Yen denominated debt of ¥30 billion
(U.S. $252). In addition, certain forward currency
contracts were used to hedge the currency exposure for
interest payments on the remaining Yen debt. These
combined strategies converted the hedged cash flows on
our Japanese Yen denominated debt to U.S. dollars and
qualified for cash flow hedge accounting. The derivatives
matured during 2007 together with the scheduled
repayment of the related debt.

No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in the
Consolidated Statements of Income for the three years
ended December 31, 2007 for these designated cash flow
hedges and all components of each derivative’s gain or

contracts as cash flow hedges for a portion of our

Our domestic retirement defined benefit plans provide employees a benefit, depending on eligibility, at the greater of

(i) the benefit calculated under a highest average pay and years of service formula, (ii) the benefit calculated under a
formula that provides for the accumulation of salary and interest credits during an employee’s work life, or (iii) the
individual account balance from the Company’s prior defined contribution plan (Transitional Retirement Account or TRA).

(1) Interest cost includes interest expense on non-TRA obligations of $374, $340, and $328 and interest expense directly
allocated to TRA participant accounts of $204, $392, and $253 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and
2005, respectively.

(2) Expected return on plan assets includes expected investment income on non-TRA assets of $464, $410, and $369 and
actual investment income on TRA assets of $204, $392, and $253 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and
2005, respectively.

(3) Amount represents the pre-tax effect included within other comprehensive income. The net of tax amount and effect

of translation adjustments are included within the Consolidated Statements of Common Shareholders’ Equity.

The net actuarial loss and prior service credit for the
defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from
accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic
benefit cost over the next fiscal year are $38 and $(21),
respectively. The net actuarial loss and prior service credit
for the other defined benefit postretirement plans that will
be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss
into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are
$2 and $(12) respectively.

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.

Plan Amendment

During 2006 we amended one of our domestic
defined benefit pension plans. The amendment changed
the process of calculating benefits for certain employees
who retire from or leave the Company after 2012. The new
process ensures that certain benefit enhancements are
only provided to plan participants who qualify to receive
them based on age and years of service at termination.
The prior process for years after 2012 provided some plan
participants with these benefit enhancements regardless
of qualification. The amendment resulted in a net
decrease of $173 in the Projected Benefit Obligation and a
net decrease of $20 in the Accumulated Benefit
Obligation. The amendment also decreased net periodic
pension benefit cost by $31 for the full year 2006.

Plan Assets

Current Allocation and Investment Targets: As of

the 2007 and 2006 measurement dates, the global
pension plan assets were $9.8 billion and $9.2 billion,
respectively. These assets were invested among several
asset classes. None of the investments include debt or
equity securities of Xerox Corporation. The amount and
percentage of assets invested in each asset class as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006 is shown below:

Investment Strategy: The target asset allocations for

our worldwide plans for 2007 were 50% invested in
equities, 42% invested in fixed income, 7% invested in
real estate and 1% invested in Other. The target asset
allocations for our worldwide plans for 2006 were 53%
invested in equities, 39% invested in fixed income, 7%
invested in real estate and 1% invested in Other. The
pension assets outside of the U.S. as of the 2007 and 2006
measurement dates were $5.7 billion and $5.1 billion,
respectively.

The target asset allocations for the U.S. pension plan

include 60% invested in equities, 35% in fixed income and
5% in real estate. Cash investments are sufficient to
handle expected cash requirements for benefit payments
and will vary throughout the year. The expected long-term
rate of return on the U.S. pension assets is 8.75%.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

We employ a total return investment approach
whereby a mix of equities and fixed income investments
are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets
for a prudent level of risk. The intent of this strategy is to
minimize plan expenses by exceeding the interest growth
in long-term plan liabilities. Risk tolerance is established
through careful consideration of plan liabilities, plan
funded status, and corporate financial condition. This
consideration involves the use of long-term measures that
address both return and risk. The investment portfolio
contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed income
investments. Furthermore, equity investments are
diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks as well as
growth, value and small and large capitalizations. Other
assets such as real estate, private equity, and hedge funds
are used to improve portfolio diversification. Derivatives
may be used to hedge market exposure in an efficient and
timely manner; however, derivatives may not be used to
leverage the portfolio beyond the market value of the
underlying investments. Investment risks and returns are
measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through
annual liability measurements and quarterly investment
portfolio reviews.

Expected Long Term Rate of Return: We employ a

“building block” approach in determining the long-term
rate of return for plan assets. Historical markets are
studied and long-term relationships between equities and
fixed income are assessed. Current market factors such as
inflation and interest rates are evaluated before long-term
capital market assumptions are determined. The long-term
portfolio return is established giving consideration to
investment diversification and rebalancing. Peer data and

historical returns are reviewed periodically to assess
reasonableness and appropriateness.

Contributions: We expect to contribute

approximately $130 to our worldwide defined benefit
pension plans and approximately $100 to our other post
retirement benefit plans in 2008. The 2008 expected
pension plan contributions do not include any planned
contribution for our domestic tax-qualified defined benefit
plans because there are no required contributions to these
plans for the 2008 fiscal year. However, once the
January 1, 2008 actuarial valuations and projected results
as of the end of the 2008 measurement year are available,
the desirability of additional contributions will be
reassessed. Based on these results, we may voluntarily
decide to contribute to these plans, even though no
contribution is required. In 2007 and 2006, after making
this assessment, we contributed $158 and $228,
respectively, to our domestic tax qualified plans to make
them 100% funded on a current liability basis under the
ERISA funding rules.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments: The following

benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as
appropriate, are expected to be paid during the following
years (in millions):

Unrecognized Tax Benefits and Audit Resolutions
Due to the extensive geographical scope of our
operations, we are subject to ongoing tax examinations in
numerous jurisdictions. Accordingly, we may record
incremental tax expense based upon the more-likely-
than-not outcomes of any uncertain tax positions. In
addition, when applicable, we adjust the previously

116

recorded tax expense to reflect examination results when
the position is effectively settled. Our ongoing
assessments of the more-likely-than-not outcomes of the
examinations and related tax positions require judgment
and can increase or decrease our effective tax rate, as well
as impact our operating results. The specific timing of
when the resolution of each tax position will be reached is
uncertain. As of December 31, 2007, we do not believe
that there are any positions for which it is reasonably
possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the
next 12 months.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits: A reconciliation of the

beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax
benefits is as follows (in millions):

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Included in the balance at January 1, 2007 and as of
December 31, 2007 are $93 and $137, respectively, of tax
positions that are highly certain of realizability but for
which there is uncertainty about the timing or may be
reduced through an indirect benefit from other taxing
jurisdictions. Because of the impact of deferred tax
accounting, other than interest and penalties, the
disallowance of these positions would not affect the
annual effective tax rate.

We have filed claims in certain jurisdictions to assert
our position should the law be clarified by judicial means.
At this point in time, we believe it is unlikely that we will
receive any benefit from these types of claims but we will
continue to analyze as the issues develop. Accordingly, we
have not included any benefit for these types of claims in
the amount of unrecognized tax benefits.

Upon the adoption of FIN 48, we recognize interest

and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits as
well as interest received from favorable settlements within
income tax expense. In 2007, net interest and penalties
were less than $1. We had $28 and $23 accrued for the
payment of interest and penalties associated with
unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007 and
December 31, 2007, respectively.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal

jurisdiction and various foreign jurisdictions. In the U.S. we
are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax
examinations by tax authorities for years before 2006.
With respect to our major foreign jurisdictions, we are no
longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities
before 2000.

2006 Audit Resolution: In the first quarter 2006, we

recognized an income tax benefit of $24 from the
favorable resolution of certain tax issues associated with
our 1999-2003 Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audit
which at the time had not yet been finalized. In the
second quarter 2006, we recognized an income tax
benefit of $46 related to the favorable resolution of
certain tax matters associated with the finalization of
foreign tax audits. In the third quarter 2006, we received
notice that the U.S. Joint Committee on Taxation had
completed its review of our 1999-2003 IRS audit and as a
result of that review our audit for those years had been

finalized. Accordingly, we recorded an aggregate income
tax benefit of $448 associated with the favorable
resolution of certain tax matters from this audit. The
recorded benefit did not result in a significant cash refund,
but it did increase tax credit carryforwards and reduce
taxes otherwise potentially due.

2005 Audit Resolution: In the second quarter of

2005, the 1996-1998 IRS audit was finalized. As a
result, we recorded an aggregate second quarter 2005
net income benefit of $343. $260 of this benefit, which
includes an after-tax benefit of $33 for interest ($54
pre-tax benefit), is the result of a change in tax law
that allowed us to recognize a benefit for $1.2 billion of
capital losses associated with the disposition of our
insurance group operations in those years. The claim of
additional losses and related tax benefits required
review by the U.S. Joint Committee on Taxation, which
was completed in June 2005. The benefit did not result
in a significant cash refund, but increased tax credit
carryforwards and reduced taxes otherwise potentially
due.

Deferred Income Taxes

In substantially all instances, deferred income
taxes have not been provided on the undistributed
earnings of foreign subsidiaries and other foreign
investments carried at equity. The amount of such
earnings included in consolidated retained earnings at
December 31, 2007 was approximately $7.5 billion.
These earnings have been indefinitely reinvested and
we currently 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. Our 2001 sale of half of our ownership
interest in Fuji Xerox resulted in our investment no
longer qualifying as a foreign corporate joint venture.
Accordingly, deferred taxes are required to be provided
on the undistributed earnings of Fuji Xerox, arising
subsequent to such date, as we no longer have the
ability to ensure indefinite reinvestment.

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 or, when
applicable, based on the expected timing of the reversal.
Current deferred tax assets at December 31, 2007 and
2006 amounted to $200 and $271, 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 net change in the total
valuation allowance for the years ended December 31,
2007 and 2006 was an increase of $100 and an increase
of $57, respectively. The valuation allowance relates

concluded 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 the available
positive and negative evidence, including scheduling of
deferred tax liabilities 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, 2007, we had tax credit

carryforwards of $434 available to offset future income
taxes, of which $240 are available to carryforward
indefinitely while the remaining $194 will begin to expire,
if not utilized, in 2008. We also had net operating loss
carryforwards for income tax purposes of $255 that will
expire in 2008 through 2024, if not utilized, and $2.7
billion available to offset future taxable income
indefinitely.

Note 16 – Contingencies

Brazil Tax and Labor Contingencies

Our Brazilian operations were involved in various
litigation matters and have received or been the subject
of numerous governmental assessments related to
indirect and other taxes as well as disputes associated
with former employees and contract labor. The tax
matters, which comprise a significant portion of the total
contingencies, principally relate to claims for taxes on the
internal transfer of inventory, municipal service taxes on
rentals and gross revenue taxes. We are disputing these
tax matters and intend to vigorously defend our position.
Based on the opinion of legal counsel and current reserves
for those matters deemed probable of loss, we do not
believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will
materially impact our results of operations, financial
position or cash flows. The labor matters principally relate
to claims made by former employees and contract labor

118

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

for the equivalent payment of all social security and other
related labor benefits, as well as consequential tax claims,
as if they were regular employees. As of December 31,
2007, the total amounts related to the unreserved portion
of the tax and labor contingencies, inclusive of any related
interest, amounted to approximately $1,130, with the
increase from December 31, 2006 balance of $960
primarily related to indexation, interest and currency. In
connection with the above proceedings, customary local
regulations may require us to make escrow cash deposits
or post other security of up to half of the total amount in
dispute. As of December 31, 2007 we had $200 of escrow
cash deposits for matters we are disputing and there are
liens on certain Brazilian assets with a net book value of
$64 and additional letters of credit of approximately $84.
Generally, any escrowed amounts would be refundable
and any liens would be removed to the extent the matters
are resolved in our favor. We routinely assess all these
matters as to probability of ultimately incurring a liability
against our Brazilian operations and record our best
estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where we assess
the likelihood of an ultimate loss as probable.

Legal

As more fully discussed below, we are involved in a
variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings
concerning securities law, intellectual property law,
environmental law, employment law and the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”). We determine
whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be
accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable
and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential
liability by analyzing our litigation and regulatory matters
using available information. 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
litigation and settlement strategies. Should developments
in any of these matters cause a change in our
determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in
the need to recognize a material accrual, or should any of
these matters result in a final 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 determination, judgment or
settlement occurs.

Litigation Against the Company:

In re Xerox Corporation Securities Litigation: A
consolidated 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 business 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 statements and/or concealing material
facts relating to the defendants’ alleged failure to
disclose the material negative impact that the April 1998
restructuring had on the Company’s operations and
revenues. 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 consolidated complaint seeks unspecified
compensatory damages 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. Xerox and the
individual defendants filed their opposition to that motion
on June 28, 2005. On or about November 8, 2004, the

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Welfare
Fund of Local Union No. 164 (“IBEW”) filed a motion to
intervene as a named plaintiff and class representative.
Separately, on June 8, 2005, IBEW and Robert W. Roten
(“Roten”) moved to substitute as lead plaintiffs and
proposed class representatives. On May 12, 2006, the
Court denied, without prejudice to refiling, plaintiffs’
motion for class certification, IBEW’s motion to intervene
and serve as named plaintiff and class representative, and
IBEW and Roten’s joint motion to substitute as lead
plaintiffs and proposed class representatives. The Court
also ordered the parties to submit to it a notice to certain
putative class members to inform them of the
circumstances surrounding the withdrawal of several lead
plaintiffs, and to advise them of the opportunity to
express their desire to serve as a representative of the
putative class. On July 25, 2006, the Court so-ordered a
form of notice, and plaintiffs thereafter distributed the
notice. Thereafter, Roten, Robert Agius (“Agius”) and
Georgia Stanley (“Stanley”) filed applications to be
considered lead plaintiffs. On November 13, 2006, IBEW,
Roten, Agius and Stanley filed a motion for appointment
as additional lead plaintiffs. Defendants filed their
response on November 28, 2006. On February 2, 2007, the
Court granted the motion of IBEW, Roten, Agius and
Stanley and appointed them as additional lead plaintiffs.
On February 15, 2007, lead plaintiffs IBEW, Roten, Agius,
Stanley and Thomas Dalberth filed their renewed motion
for class certification. On July 18, 2007, the Court entered
an order denying plaintiffs’ renewed motion for class
certification, without prejudice to renewal after the Court
holds a pre-filing conference to identify factual disputes
the Court will be required to resolve in ruling on the
motion. On December 12, 2007, the Court held a pre-filing
conference and granted, absent objection, the motion of
Agius to withdraw as lead plaintiff and proposed class
representative. On February 5, 2008 plaintiffs filed a
second renewed motion for class certification. The parties
are currently engaged in discovery. The individual
defendants and we deny any wrongdoing and are
vigorously defending the action. In the course of
litigation, we periodically engage in discussions with
plaintiffs’ counsel for possible resolution of the matter.
Should developments cause a change in our
determination as to an unfavorable outcome, or result in a
final adverse judgment or be settled for significant
amounts, there could be a material adverse effect on our

results of operations, cash flows and financial position in
the period in which such change in determination,
judgment or settlement occurs. Based on the present
stage of the litigation, it is not possible to estimate the
amount of loss or range of possible loss that might result
from 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
consolidated amended complaint. According to the third
consolidated amended complaint, plaintiffs purport to
bring this case as a class action on behalf of a 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; and the
other alleging that the individual defendants are also
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 disseminating
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 purported 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 previously
corrected in an earlier restatement which plaintiffs
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 individual
defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On
July 13, 2005, the Court denied the motion. On
October 31, 2005, the defendants answered the
complaint. On January 19, 2006, plaintiffs filed a motion
for class certification. On July 18, 2007, the Court entered
an order denying plaintiffs’ motion for class certification,
without prejudice to renewal after the Court holds a
pre-filing conference to identify factual disputes the Court
will be required to resolve in ruling on the motion.
Plaintiffs have filed notices of withdrawal of proposed
class representatives Sol Sachs, Leonard Nelson and
Fernan Cepero. The Court has approved plaintiffs’ notice
of withdrawal of proposed class representative Fernan
Cepero. The parties are engaged in discovery. The
individual defendants and we deny any wrongdoing and
are vigorously defending the action. In the course of
litigation, we periodically engage in discussions with
plaintiffs’ counsel for possible resolution of the matter.
Should developments cause a change in our
determination as to an unfavorable outcome, or result in a
final adverse judgment or be settled for significant
amounts, there could be a material adverse effect on our
results of operations, cash flows and financial position in
the period in which such change in determination,
judgment or settlement occurs. Based on the present
stage of the litigation, it is not possible to estimate the
amount of loss or range of possible loss that might result
from 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 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
individual 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 complaint 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 condition and accounting and
reporting practices. The plaintiffs contend that in relying
on false and misleading statements allegedly made by
the defendants, at various 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 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 previously corrected in an earlier
restatement which plaintiffs contend was false and
misleading. The plaintiffs seek, among other things,
unspecified compensatory damages against the
Company, the individual 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. On July 13, 2005, the Court denied the
motion. On December 9, 2005, the defendants moved to
dismiss claims based on issues uniquely related to
plaintiffs. On September 28, 2007, the Court entered an
order proposed by the parties to resolve motions to
dismiss, pursuant to which plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed
certain claims, the Xerox defendants withdrew as moot
their partial motion to dismiss the amended complaint
and KPMG withdrew without prejudice its motion to
dismiss the amended complaint. Defendants served their
answer with respect to claims unique to this case on
November 9, 2007. The parties are engaged in discovery.
The individual defendants and we deny any wrongdoing

and are vigorously defending the action. In the course of
litigation, we periodically engage in discussions with
plaintiffs’ counsel for possible resolution of the matter.
Should developments cause a change in our
determination as to an unfavorable outcome, or result in a
final adverse judgment or be settled for significant
amounts, there could be a material adverse effect on our
results of operations, cash flows and financial position in
the period in which such change in determination,
judgment or settlement occurs. Based on the present
stage of the litigation, it is not possible to estimate the
amount of loss or range of possible loss that might result
from this matter.

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 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 and 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
persons. The defendants include Xerox Corporation and
the following individuals or groups of individuals during
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 claimed that the defendants breached
their fiduciary duties under ERISA to protect the Plan’s
assets and act in the interest of Plan participants.
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 their
retirement assets in Xerox stock. Defendants filed a
motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state claim.

On April 17, 2007, the Court ruled on the motion to
dismiss, granting it in part and denying it in part, and
giving the plaintiffs an opportunity to replead. The
plaintiffs subsequently filed a Second Consolidated
Amended Complaint, alleging that some or all defendants
breached their ERISA fiduciary duties during 1997-2002
by (1) maintaining the Xerox Stock Fund as an investment
option under the Plan; (2) failing to monitor the conduct
of Plan fiduciaries; and (3) misleading Plan participants
about Xerox stock as an investment option under the
Plans. The complaint does not specify the amount of
damages sought. However, it asks that the losses to the
Plans 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 fiduciary
duty, as well as interest, costs and attorneys’ fees. On
July 18, 2007, Defendants answered the new complaint
and also filed a partial motion to dismiss. On August 9,
2007, the plaintiffs filed their motion for class
certification and on August 31, 2007 filed their opposition
to defendants’ partial motion to dismiss. Discovery is
ongoing. The Company and the other defendants deny
any wrongdoing and will continue to vigorously defend
the action. In the course of litigation, we periodically
engage in discussions with plaintiffs’ counsel for possible
resolution of the matter. Should developments cause a
change in our determination as to an unfavorable
outcome, or result in a final adverse judgment or be
settled for significant amounts, there could be a material
adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and
financial position in the period in which such change in
determination, judgment or settlement occurs. At this
stage of the litigation, it is not possible to estimate the
amount of loss or range of possible loss that might result
from 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 First Amended Complaint on the Company
was deemed effective as of December 6, 2002. On
March 19, 2003, Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended
Complaint that eliminated a number of corporate
defendants but was otherwise identical in all material
respects to the First Amended Complaint. The defendants
include the Company and a number of 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 compensatory 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 filed a motion to dismiss the Second
Amended Complaint. Oral argument of the motion was
heard on November 6, 2003. By Memorandum Opinion
and Order filed November 29, 2004, the Court granted the
motion to dismiss. A clerk’s judgment of dismissal was
filed on November 30, 2004. On December 27, 2004, the
Company received a notice of appeal dated December 24,
2004. On February 16, 2005, the parties filed a stipulation
withdrawing the December 24, 2004 appeal on the
ground that the November 30, 2004 judgment of
dismissal was not appealable. On March 28, 2005,
plaintiffs submitted a letter requesting permission to file a
motion for leave to file an amended and consolidated
complaint. By Summary Order filed April 6, 2005, the
Court denied the request. In a second Summary Order
filed the same day, the Court amended its November 29,
2004, Opinion and Order, which dismissed the action, so
as to render the Opinion and Order appealable and
plaintiffs filed a new appeal on May 3, 2005. On
August 19, 2005, plaintiffs-appellants filed their brief in
the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. On October 4, 2005,
defendants-appellees filed their brief in the Second Circuit
Court of Appeals. On October 12, 2007, the United States
Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of the claims
asserted under the Torture Victim Protection Act, vacated
the dismissal of the claims asserted under the Alien Tort
Claims Act and remanded those claims to the district
court for further proceedings. On January 10, 2008,
defendants-appellees filed a petition for a writ of
certiorari in the Supreme Court of the United States,
seeking review of the Second Circuit’s October 12, 2007
opinion. Xerox denies any wrongdoing and is vigorously
defending the action. Based upon the present stage of the
litigation, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss
or range of possible loss that might result from this
matter.

Arbitration between MPI Technologies, Inc. and

Xerox Canada Ltd. and Xerox Corporation: In an
arbitration proceeding the hearing of which commenced
on January 18, 2005, MPI Technologies, Inc. and MPI
Tech S.A. (collectively “MPI”) sought damages from the
Company and Xerox Canada Ltd. (“XCL”) for royalties
owed under a license agreement made as of March 15,
1994 between MPI and XCL (the “Agreement”) and
breach of fiduciary duty, breach of confidence, equitable
royalties and punitive damages and disgorgement of
profits and injunctive relief with respect to a claim of
copyright infringement. On September 9, 2005, the
arbitration panel rendered its decision, holding in part
that the Agreement had been assigned to Xerox and that
no punitive damages should be granted, and awarded
MPI approximately $89, plus interest thereon. On
December 12, 2005, the arbitration panel rendered its
decision on the applicable rate of pre-judgment interest
resulting in an award of $13 for pre- and post-judgment
interest. In June 2006, Xerox’s application for judicial
review of the award, seeking to have the award set aside
in its entirety, was heard by the Ontario Superior Court in
Toronto. The Ontario Superior Court issued a decision on
November 30, 2006 dismissing Xerox’s appeal. In
December 2006, Xerox released all monies and software it
had placed in escrow prior to its application for review in
satisfaction of the arbitration panel’s final award. On
January 30, 2007, Xerox and XCL served an arbitration
claim against MPI seeking a declaratory award concerning
the preclusive effect of the remedy awarded by the prior
arbitration panel. On March 27, 2007, MPI delivered to
Xerox a statement of defense and counterclaim in
response to Xerox’s arbitration claim. MPI claims
entitlement to an unspecified amount of damages for
royalties. In addition, MPI claims damages of $50 for
alleged “misuse” of its licensed software by Xerox after
December 2006. MPI also claims entitlement to
unspecified amounts of pre and post-judgment interest
and its costs of the arbitration. Xerox delivered a reply and
answer to MPI’s defense and counterclaim on May 29,
2007 and MPI delivered a reply to that pleading on July 5,
2007. A panel of three arbitrators has been appointed to
hear the dispute. The panel has established a schedule for
hearing preliminary dispositive motions with oral
argument to be held in May, 2008. In the course of
litigation, we periodically engage in discussions with MPI’s
counsel for possible resolution of the matter. Should

developments cause a change in our determination as to
an unfavorable outcome, or result in a final adverse
judgment or be settled for significant amounts, there
could be a material adverse effect on our results of
operations, cash flows and financial position in the period
in which such change in determination, judgment or
settlement occurs. Based on the present stage of the
proceeding, it is not possible to estimate the amount of
any material loss or range of material loss that might
result from any of the claims advanced in such
counterclaim.

National Union Fire Insurance Company v. Xerox
Corporation, et al.: On October 24, 2003, a declaratory
judgment action was filed in the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, County of New York against the
Company and several current and former officers and/or
members of the Board of Directors. Plaintiff claims that it
issued an Excess Directors & Officers Liability and
Corporate Reimbursement Policy to the Company in
reliance on information from the Company that allegedly
misrepresented the Company’s financial condition and
outlook. The policy at issue provides for $25 of coverage
as a component of the company reimbursement portion
of an insurance program that provides for up to $135
coverage (after deductibles and coinsurance and subject
to other policy limitations and requirements) over a three-
year period. However, $10 of the entire amount may be
unavailable due to the liquidation of one of the other
insurers. Plaintiff seeks judgment (i) that it is entitled to
rescind the policy as void from the outset; (ii) in the
alternative, limiting coverage under the policy and
awarding plaintiff damages in an unspecified amount
representing that portion of any required payment under
the policy that is attributable to the Company’s and the
individual defendants’ own misconduct; and (iii) for the
costs and disbursement of the action and such other relief
as the court deems just and proper. On December 19,
2003, the Company and individual defendants moved to
dismiss the complaint. On November 10, 2004, the Court
issued an opinion partially granting and partially denying
the motions. Among other things, the Court granted the
motions to dismiss all of the claims for rescission and
denied plaintiff’s request to replead. The Court denied the
Company’s and some of the individual defendants’
motions to dismiss certain claims that seek to limit
coverage based on particular provisions in the policy and
that at least in part related to settlement with the SEC.

Plaintiff filed notices of appeal on January 10, 2005 and
February 11, 2005. By order entered on January 3, 2006,
the Appellate Division affirmed the portions of the Court’s
November 10, 2004 decision which dismissed several of
plaintiff’s claims and denied leave to replead. On
February 2, 2006, plaintiff moved for reargument or for
leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals. On May 30, 2006,
the Appellate Division denied plaintiff’s motion.
Separately, on February 22, 2005, the defendants filed a
motion seeking dismissal of any remaining claims in light
of Xerox’s representation that it will not seek coverage
from plaintiff for settlement payments to the SEC. By
order dated July 12, 2005, the Court denied the motion.
On August 23, 2005, defendants moved for leave to
reargue the February 22 motion and separately moved for
leave to renew the December 19, 2003 motions. On
April 10, 2006, the Court issued an order granting those
motions, dismissing one cause of action and partially
dismissing the two other causes of action that were the
subject of those motions. Subsequently, at a status
conference on May 4, 2006, the parties appeared before
the Court and discussed inconsistencies between the
Court’s April 10, 2006 order and its November 10, 2004
decision. As a result, on May 5, 2006 the Court executed
an order, which was later rendered on July 27, 2006,
withdrawing the April 10, 2006 order and substituting a
new order which clarified and confirmed the dismissal of
all claims asserted in the original complaint. On
August 31, 2006, plaintiff filed with the Appellate Division
a notice of appeal of the May 5, 2006 order and
subsequently filed a withdrawal of such notice of appeal,
without prejudice, dated May 11, 2007. On September 5,
2006, plaintiff served a motion to the Court of Appeals
seeking leave to appeal directly to that court from the
May 5, 2006 order, and seeking review of the Appellate
Division’s January 3, 2006 order. On November 20, 2006,
the Court of Appeals denied plaintiff’s motion. Plaintiff
had earlier filed an amended complaint on February 27,
2006, naming all defendants named in the original
complaint and adding four causes of action against Xerox
only, as well as a demand for unspecified monetary relief.
On May 11, 2006, Xerox served its motion to dismiss the
amended complaint and for sanctions. On August 2, 2006,
the Court granted Xerox’s motion to dismiss and for
sanctions. All claims asserted by National Union now have
been dismissed. In accordance with the Court’s
instructions during the August 2, 2006 oral argument,

124

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Xerox submitted an affidavit, sworn to on August 16,
2006, specifying the precise amount of fees and sanctions
requested by Xerox. On September 11, 2006, National
Union submitted an opposition to Xerox’s specific request
for fees and sanctions and requested a hearing before the
Court. The Court has not scheduled a hearing on the fees
issues, nor has it issued a decision.

Warren, et al. v. Xerox Corporation: On March 11,
2004, the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of New York entered an order certifying a
nationwide class of all black salespersons employed by
Xerox from February 1, 1997 to the present under Title
VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and the
Civil Rights Act of 1871. The suit was commenced on
May 9, 2001 by six black sales representatives. The
plaintiffs allege that Xerox has engaged in a pattern or
practice of race discrimination against them and other
black sales representatives by assigning them to less
desirable sales territories, denying them promotional
opportunities, and paying them less than their white
counterparts. Although the complaint does not specify the
amount of damages sought, plaintiffs do seek, on behalf
of themselves and the classes they seek to represent, front
and back pay, compensatory and punitive damages, and
attorneys’ fees. We deny any wrongdoing. Fact discovery
has concluded and expert reports have been exchanged.
Following three days of mediation with a private
mediator, a tentative settlement agreement was reached,
the terms of which are not material to Xerox. On
March 16, 2007, the parties submitted the settlement
agreement to the Court for preliminary approval. At a
status conference held on June 6, 2007, the judge
indicated that he would not approve the current version of
the settlement agreement. He was concerned that the
named plaintiffs may be receiving a disproportionate
amount of damages as compared to the other class
members. He has directed the parties to revise this aspect
of the agreement and bring it back to him. If preliminary
approval is obtained, the agreement will then be subject
to a fairness hearing at which any objections to the
agreement shall be heard. If the Court still finds the
agreement to be acceptable, it will give its final approval
and administration of the settlement shall commence.

Other Matters:

It is our policy to promptly and carefully investigate,
often with the assistance of outside advisers, allegations

of impropriety that may come to our attention. If the
allegations are substantiated, appropriate prompt
remedial action is taken. When and where appropriate, we
report such matters to the U.S. Department of Justice and
to the SEC, and/or make public disclosure.

India: In recent years we became aware of a
number of matters at our Indian subsidiary, Xerox India
Ltd. (formerly Xerox Modicorp Ltd.), that occurred over a
period of several years, much of which occurred before
we obtained majority ownership of these operations in
mid 1999. These matters include misappropriations of
funds and payments to other companies that may have
been inaccurately recorded on the subsidiary’s books
and certain improper payments in connection with sales
to government customers. These transactions were not
material to the Company’s financial statements. We
reported these transactions to the Indian authorities,
the U.S. Department of Justice and to the SEC. The
private Indian investigator engaged by the Indian
Ministry of Company Affairs has completed an
investigation of these matters. In February 2005, the
Indian Ministry of Company Affairs provided our Indian
subsidiary with the investigator’s report which addresses
the previously disclosed misappropriation of funds and
improper payments and requested comments. The
report included allegations that Xerox India Ltd.’s senior
officials and the Company were aware of such activities.
The report also asserted the need for further
investigation into potential criminal acts related to the
improper activities addressed by the report. The matter
is now pending in the Indian Ministry of Company
Affairs. The Company reported these developments and
made a copy of the report received by Xerox India Ltd.
available to the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC.
On November 17, 2005, Xerox filed its reply with the

DCA (now called the “Ministry of Company Affairs” or
“MCA”). Xerox sent copies of the Xerox Reply to the SEC
and DOJ in the United States. In our reply, we argue that
the alleged violations of Indian Company Law by means
of alleged improper payments and alleged defaults/
failures of the Xerox India Ltd. board of directors were
generally unsubstantiated and without any basis in law.
Further, we stated that the Report’s findings of other
alleged violations were unsubstantiated and unproven.
The MCA will consider our Reply and will let us know their
conclusions. There is the possibility of fines or criminal
penalties if conclusive proof of wrongdoing is found. We

Xerox Annual Report 2007

125

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

have told the MCA that Xerox’s conduct in voluntarily
disclosing the initial information and readily and willingly
submitting to investigation, coupled with the
non-availability of earlier records, warrants complete
closure and early settlement. In January 2006, we learned
that the MCA has issued a “Show Cause Notice” to certain
former executives of Xerox India Ltd. seeking a response
to allegations of potential violations of the Indian
Companies Act. We also learned that Xerox India Ltd. has
received a formal Notice of Enquiry from the Indian
Monopolies & Restrictive Trade Practices Commission
(“MRTP Commission”) alleging that Xerox India Ltd.
committed unfair trading practices arising from the
events described in the DCA investigator’s Report.
Following a hearing on August 29, 2006, the MRTP
Commission ordered a process with deadlines between
Xerox India Ltd. and the investigating officer for provision
of relevant documents to Xerox India Ltd., after which
Xerox India Ltd. will have four weeks to file its reply. The
MRTP Commission scheduled a hearing for framing of the
issues on January 9, 2007, but this hearing was delayed. A
new hearing was scheduled for January 29, 2007 for
consideration of Xerox India Ltd.’s motion for the MRTP
Commission to direct the investigating officer to supply us
the relevant documents. At the hearing on January 29th,
no additional documents were supplied to us. The MRTP
Commission directed us to file our reply to the original
Notice of Enquiry within four weeks. At a hearing on
April 2, 2007, the investigating officer requested another
copy of our reply for the purpose of filing a response. An
additional period of four weeks to file this response was
granted, and the next hearing date was set for May 15,
2007 for further consideration and framing of issues. The
matter was heard on May 15, 2007, but the investigating
officer sought additional time to file his response, which in
fact was filed on June 27, 2007. The Commission
rescheduled the matter for August 17, 2007 for further
proceedings. At the hearing on August 17, 2007, counsel
for Xerox India Ltd. argued that the Enquiry is not
properly maintainable under the Commission’s
jurisdiction. The issue of maintainability of the Notice of
Enquiry has been framed as the preliminary issue and the
Commission will decide this at the next hearing date,
which has been rescheduled for March 2008. Our Indian
subsidiary plans to contest the Notice of Enquiry and has
been fully cooperating with the authorities.

Other contingencies

Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranty
Liabilities: Guarantees and claims arise during the
ordinary course of business from relationships with
suppliers, customers and nonconsolidated affiliates when
the Company undertakes an obligation to guarantee the
performance of others if specified triggering events occur.
Nonperformance under a contract could trigger an
obligation of the Company. These potential claims include
actions based upon alleged exposures to products, real
estate, intellectual property such as patents,
environmental matters, and other indemnifications. The
ultimate effect on future financial results is not subject to
reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty
exists as to the final outcome of these claims. However,
while the ultimate liabilities resulting from such claims
may be significant to results of operations in the period
recognized, management does not anticipate they will
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial position or liquidity. As of
December 31, 2007, we have accrued our estimate of
liability incurred under our indemnification arrangements
and guarantees.

Indemnifications provided as part of contracts and

agreements: We are a party to the following types of
agreements pursuant to which we may be obligated to
indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters:
• 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, including obligations to pay rent.
Typically, these relate to such matters as adequate
title to assets sold, intellectual property rights,
specified environmental matters and certain income
taxes arising prior to the date of acquisition.

• Guarantees on behalf of our subsidiaries with respect
to real estate leases. These lease guarantees may
remain in effect subsequent to the sale of the
subsidiary.

• Agreements to indemnify various service providers,

trustees and bank agents from any third party claims
related to their performance on our behalf, with the
exception of claims that result from third-party’s own
willful misconduct or gross negligence.

126

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

• Guarantees of our performance in certain sales and

services contracts to our customers and indirectly the
performance of third parties with whom we have
subcontracted for their services. This includes
indemnifications to customers for losses that may be
sustained as a result of the use of our equipment at a
customer’s location.

In each of these circumstances, our payment is
conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to
the procedures specified in the particular contract, which
procedures typically allow us to challenge the other
party’s claims. In the case of lease guarantees, we may
contest the liabilities asserted under the lease. Further, our
obligations under these agreements and guarantees 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.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors: Our
corporate by-laws require that, except to the extent
expressly prohibited by law, we must indemnify Xerox
Corporation’s officers and directors against judgments,
fines, penalties 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
services to Xerox Corporation and our subsidiaries.

Note 17 – Shareholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 2007, we had no preferred stock
shares or preferred stock purchase rights outstanding. We
are authorized to issue approximately 22 million shares of
cumulative preferred stock, $1.00 par value.

Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock
Automatic Conversion: In 2006, all 9.2 million shares of
6.25% Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock
were converted at a rate of 8.1301 shares of our common
stock, or 74.8 million common stock shares. The recorded

Although the by-laws provide no limit on the amount of
indemnification, we may have recourse against our
insurance carriers for certain payments made by us.
However, certain indemnification payments may not be
covered under our directors’ and officers’ insurance
coverage. In addition, we indemnify certain fiduciaries of
our employee benefit plans for liabilities incurred in their
service as fiduciary whether or not they are officers of the
Company.

Product Warranty Liabilities: In connection with our
normal sales of equipment, including those under sales-
type leases, 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 equivalent 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 a 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 segment, where full service maintenance
agreements are not available. In these instances, we
record warranty obligations at the time of the sale.
Aggregate product warranty liability expenses for the
three years ended of December 31, 2007 were $40, $43
and $45, respectively. Total product warranty liabilities as
of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $26 and $22,
respectively.

value of outstanding shares at the time of conversion was
$889. The conversion occurred pursuant to the mandatory
automatic conversion provisions set at original issuance of
the Series C Preferred Stock. As a result of the automatic
conversion, there are no remaining outstanding shares of
our Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

Common Stock

We have 1.75 billion authorized shares of common

stock, $1 par value. At December 31, 2007, 97 million
shares were reserved for issuance under our incentive

compensation plans, 48 million shares were reserved for
debt to equity exchanges, 15 million shares were reserved
for the conversion of the Series C Mandatory Convertible
Preferred Stock and 2 million shares were reserved for the
conversion of convertible debt. The 15 million shares
reserved for the conversion of the Series C Mandatory
Convertible Preferred Stock were released in January
2008.

Stock-Based Compensation: We have a long-term
incentive plan whereby eligible employees may be granted
restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares (“PSs”)
and non-qualified stock options.

In 2005, we implemented changes in our stock-based

compensation programs designed to help us continue to
attract and retain employees and to better align
employee interests with those of our shareholders. With
these changes, in lieu of stock options we began granting
PSs and expanded the use of RSUs. Each of these awards
is subject to settlement with newly issued shares of our
common stock. At December 31, 2007 and 2006,

19 million and 25 million shares, respectively, were
available for grant of awards.

Total compensation related to these programs was

$89, $64 and $40 for the years ended December 31,
2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The related income
tax benefit recognized was $34, $25 and $16 for 2007,
2006 and 2005, respectively. A description of each of our
stock-based compensation programs follows:

Restricted Stock Units: Prior to 2005, the RSUs were

generally subject to a three-year ratable vesting period
from the date of grant and entitled the holder to one
share of common stock. In 2005, the terms of newly-
issued RSUs were changed such that the entire award
vests three years from the date of grant. Compensation
expense is based upon the grant date market price and is
recorded over the vesting period. A summary of the
activity for RSUs as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and

At December 31, 2007, the aggregate intrinsic value
of RSUs outstanding was $189. The total intrinsic value of
RSUs vested during 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $16, $10
and $13, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for
the tax deductions for vested RSUs totaled $3, $3 and $4
for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.

At December 31, 2007, there was $89 of total
unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested
RSUs, which is expected to be recognized ratably over a
remaining weighted-average contractual term of 1.9
years.

Performance Shares: We grant officers and selected
executives PSs whose vesting is contingent upon meeting
pre-determined Diluted Earnings per Share (“EPS”) and
Cash Flow from Operations targets. These shares entitle
the holder to one share of common stock, payable after a
three-year period and the attainment of the stated goals.
If the cumulative three-year actual results for EPS and
Cash Flow from Operations exceed the stated targets,
then the plan participants have the potential to earn
additional shares of common stock. This overachievement
can not exceed 50% for officers and 25% for non-officers
of the original grant.

At December 31, 2007, the aggregate intrinsic value

of PSs outstanding was $107.

Prior to 2006, the PSs were accounted for as variable

awards requiring that the shares be adjusted to market
value at each reporting period. Effective January 1, 2006,
upon the adoption of FAS 123(R), PSs were recorded
prospectively using fair value determined as of the grant

date. If the stated targets are not met, any recognized
compensation cost would be reversed. As of December 31,
2007, there was $63 of total unrecognized compensation
cost related to nonvested PSs; this cost is expected to be
recognized ratably over a remaining weighted-average
contractual term of 1.8 years.

Stock Options: Stock options generally vest over a period of three years and expire between eight and ten years
from the date of grant. The following table provides information relating to the status of, and changes in, stock options

Note 19 – Divestitures and Other Sales

During the three years ended December 31, 2007, the

following significant divestitures occurred:

Ridge Re: In March 2006, Ridge Re, a wholly owned
subsidiary included in our net investment in discontinued
operations (within Other long-term assets), completed an
agreement to transfer its obligations under its remaining
reinsurance agreement, together with related investments
held in trust, to another insurance company as part of a
complete exit from this business. As a result of this
transaction, the remaining investments held by Ridge Re
were sold and the excess cash held by Ridge Re of $119,
after the payment of its remaining liabilities, was
distributed back to the Company as part of a plan of
liquidation. This amount is presented within investing
activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

REPORTS OF MANAGEMENT

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Statements
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 accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and
include amounts based on management’s best estimates
and judgments. Management believes the consolidated
financial statements fairly reflect the form and substance
of transactions and that the financial statements fairly
represent the Company’s financial position and results of
operations.

Integic: In March 2005, we completed the sale of our
entire equity interest in Integic Corporation (“Integic”) for
$96 in cash, net of transaction costs. The sale resulted in a
pre-tax gain of $93. Prior to this transaction, our
investment in Integic was accounted for using the equity
method and was included in Investments in affiliates, at
equity within our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The
pre-tax gain is classified within Other (income) expenses,
net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Income. In May 2006, we recognized an additional pre-tax
gain of $10 on this sale from the receipt of additional
proceeds from escrow. The proceeds were placed in escrow
upon the sale of Integic pending completion of an
indemnification period.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which

is composed solely of independent directors, meets
regularly with the independent auditors,
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the internal auditors and
representatives of management to review accounting,
financial reporting, internal control and audit matters, as
well as the nature and extent of the audit effort. The Audit
Committee is responsible for the engagement of the
independent auditors. The independent auditors and
internal auditors have free access to the Audit Committee.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in the rules promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the
supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our principal executive, financial
and accounting officers, we have conducted an evaluation

of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control –
Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on the above evaluation, management has
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting
was effective as of December 31, 2007.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the
Company maintained, in all material respects, effective
internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in
Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is
responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining
effective control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, included in the accompanying
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on
these financial statements and on the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting based on our integrated
audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement and whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audits of the financial statements
included 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.

Our audit of internal control over financial reporting
included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control based on
the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such
other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinions.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted the

recognition and disclosure provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” as of December 31, 2006.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting

is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes
in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A company’s internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management
and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control

over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

and fourth quarters of 2006, respectively. In addition, the third quarter 2006 includes $68 for litigation matters
