REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Xerox Corporation:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of income, cash flows and common shareholders' equity
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Xerox
Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"
on January 1, 2002.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except per-share data and unless otherwise indicated)
Note 1--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
References herein to "we," "us" or "our" refer to Xerox Corporation and its
subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation: We are The Document Company,
and a leader in the global document market, developing, manufacturing,
marketing, servicing and financing a complete range of document equipment,
software, solutions and services.
Liquidity, Financial Flexibility and Funding Plans: We manage our worldwide
liquidity using internal cash management practices, which are subject to (1) the
statutes, regulations and practices of each of the local jurisdictions in which
we operate, (2) the legal requirements of the agreements to which we are parties
and (3) the policies and cooperation of the financial institutions we utilize to
maintain such cash management practices. In 2000, our operational issues were
exacerbated by significant competitive and industry changes, adverse economic
conditions, and significant technology and acquisition spending. Together, these
conditions negatively impacted our liquidity, which from 2000 to 2002 led to a
series of credit rating downgrades, eventually to below investment grade.
Consequently, our access to capital and derivative markets has been restricted.
The downgrades also required us to cash-collateralize certain derivative and
securitization arrangements to prevent them from terminating, and to immediately
settle terminating derivative contracts. Further, we are required to maintain
minimum cash balances in escrow on certain borrowings and letters of credit. In
addition, as discussed in Note 15, the SEC would not allow us to publicly
register any securities offerings while its investigation, which commenced in
June 2000, was ongoing. This additional constraint essentially prevented us from
raising funds from sources other than unregistered capital markets offerings and
private lending or equity sources. Consequently, our credit ratings, which were
already under pressure, came under greater pressure since credit rating agencies
often include access to capital sources in their rating criteria.
While the conclusion of the SEC investigation in 2002 removed our previous
inability to access public capital markets, we expect our ability to access
unsecured credit sources to remain restricted as long as our credit ratings
remain below investment grade, and we expect our incremental cost of borrowing
to increase as a result of such credit ratings.
In June 2002, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "New
Credit Facility") with a group of lenders, replacing our prior $7 billion
facility (the "Old Revolver"). At that time, we permanently repaid $2.8 billion
of the Old Revolver and subsequently paid $710 on the New Credit Facility. At
December 31, 2002, the New Credit Facility consisted of two tranches of term
loans totaling $2.0 billion and a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility that
includes a $200 letter of credit subfacility. At December 31, 2002, $3.5 billion
was outstanding under the New Credit Facility. At December 31, 2002 we had no
additional borrowing capacity under the New Credit Facility since the entire
revolving facility was outstanding, including a $10 letter of credit under the
subfacility.
The New Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants. The New
Credit Facility contains financial covenants that the Old Revolver did not
contain. Certain of the more significant covenants under the New Credit Facility
are summarized below (this summary is not complete and is in all respects
subject to the actual provisions of the New Credit Facility):
. Excess cash of certain foreign subsidiaries and of Xerox Credit
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary, must be transferred to Xerox at the
end of each fiscal quarter; for this purpose, "excess cash" generally means
cash maintained by certain foreign subsidiaries taken as a whole in excess
of their aggregate working capital and other needs in the ordinary course
of business (net of sources of funds from third parties), including
reasonably anticipated needs for repaying debt and other obligations and
making investments in their businesses. In certain circumstances, we are
not required to transfer cash to Xerox Corporation, the parent company, if
the transfer cannot be made in a tax efficient manner or if it would be
considered a breach of fiduciary duty by the directors of the foreign
subsidiary;
. Minimum EBITDA (a quarterly test that is based on rolling four quarters)
ranging from $1.0 to $1.3 billion; for this purpose, "EBITDA" (Earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) generally means
EBITDA (excluding interest and financing income to the extent included in
consolidated net income), less any amounts spent for software development
that are capitalized;
. Maximum leverage ratio (a quarterly test that is calculated as total
adjusted debt divided by EBITDA) ranging from 4.3 to 6.0;
. Maximum capital expenditures (annual test) of $330 million per fiscal year
plus up to $75 million of any unused amount carried over from the previous
year; for this purpose, "capital expenditures" generally mean the amounts
included on our statement of cash flows as "additions to land, buildings
and equipment, plus any capital lease obligations incurred;
. Minimum consolidated net worth ranging from $2.9 billion to $3.1 billion;
for this purpose, "consolidated net worth" generally means the sum of the
amounts included on our balance sheet as "common shareholders' equity,"
"preferred stock," "company-obligated, mandatorily redeemable preferred
securities of subsidiary trust holding solely subordinated debentures of
the Company," except that the currency translation adjustment effects and
the effects of compliance with FAS 133 occurring after December 31, 2001
are disregarded, the preferred securities (whether or not convertible)
issued by us or by our subsidiaries which were outstanding on June 21, 2002
will always be included, and any capital stock or similar equity interest
issued after June 21, 2002 which matures or generally becomes mandatorily
redeemable for cash or puttable at holders' option prior to November 1,
2005 is always excluded; and
. Limitations on: (i) issuance of debt and preferred stock; (ii) creation of
liens; (iii) certain fundamental changes to corporate structure and nature
of business, including mergers; (iv) investments and acquisitions; (v)
asset transfers; (vi) hedging transactions other than in those in the
ordinary course of business and certain types of synthetic equity or debt
derivatives, and (vii) certain types of restricted payments relating to
our, or our subsidiaries', equity interests, including payment of cash
dividends on our common stock; (viii) certain types of early retirement of
debt, and (ix) certain transactions with affiliates, including intercompany
loans and asset transfers.
The New Credit Facility generally does not affect our ability to continue to
monetize receivables under the agreements with GE and others. Although we cannot
pay cash dividends on our common stock during the term of the New Credit
Facility, we can pay cash dividends on our preferred stock, provided there is
then no event of default. In addition to other defaults customary for facilities
of this type, defaults on other debt, or bankruptcy, of Xerox Corporation, or
certain of our subsidiaries, would constitute defaults under the New Credit
Facility.
At December 31, 2002, we are in compliance with all aspects of the New Credit
Facility including financial covenants and expect to be in compliance for at
least the next twelve months. Failure to be in compliance with any material
provision or covenant of the New Credit Facility could have a material adverse
effect on our liquidity and operations.
8
With $2.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2002, we
believe our liquidity (including operating and other cash flows we expect to
generate) will be sufficient to meet operating cash flow requirements as they
occur and to satisfy all scheduled debt maturities for at least the next twelve
months. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity going forward is highly
dependent on achieving expected operating results, including capturing the
benefits from restructuring activities, and completing announced finance
receivables securitizations. There is no assurance that these initiatives will
be successful. Failure to successfully complete these initiatives could have a
material adverse effect on our liquidity and our operations, and could require
us to consider further measures, including deferring planned capital
expenditures, reducing discretionary spending, selling additional assets and, if
necessary, restructuring existing debt.
We also expect that our ability to fully access commercial paper and other
unsecured public debt markets will depend upon improvements in our credit
ratings, which in turn depend on our ability to demonstrate sustained
profitability growth and operating cash generation and continued progress on our
vendor financing initiatives. Until such time, we expect some bank credit lines
to continue to be unavailable, and we intend to access other segments of the
capital markets as business conditions allow, which could provide significant
sources of additional funds until full access to the unsecured public debt
markets is restored.
Basis of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Xerox Corporation and all of our controlled subsidiary companies.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Investments in business 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 percent 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. For further
discussion of acquisitions, refer to Note 3.
Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the
current year presentation.
Income (Loss) before Income Taxes (Benefits), Equity Income, Minorities'
Interests and Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle: Throughout
the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we refer to the effects of
certain changes in estimates and other adjustments on Income (Loss) before
Income Taxes (Benefits), Equity Income, Minorities' Interests and Cumulative
Effect of Change in Accounting Principle. For convenience and ease of reference,
that caption in our Consolidated Statements of Income is hereafter referred to
as "pre-tax income (loss)."
Use of Estimates: The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of 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 multiple element arrangements; (ii) accounting for
residual values; (iii) economic lives of leased assets; (iv) allowance for
doubtful accounts; (v) retained interests associated with the sales of accounts
or finance receivables; (vi) inventory valuation; (vii) restructuring and other
related charges; (viii) asset impairments; (ix) depreciable lives of assets; (x)
useful lives of intangible assets and goodwill (in 2002 goodwill is no longer
amortized over an estimated useful life, see below for further discussion); (xi)
pension and post-retirement benefit plans; (xii) income tax valuation allowances
and (xiii) contingency and litigation reserves. Future events and their effects
cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, our accounting estimates
require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements will change as new events
occur, as more experience is acquired, as 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:
Variable Interest Entities: In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No.
46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB 51"
("FIN 46"). The primary objectives of FIN 46 are to provide guidance on the
identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other
than through voting rights ("VIEs") and how to determine when and which business
enterprise should consolidate the VIE. This new model for consolidation applies
to an entity which either (1) the equity investors (if any) do not have a
controlling financial interest or (2) the equity investment at risk is
insufficient to finance that entity's activities without receiving additional
subordinated financial support from other parties. We do not expect the adoption
of this standard to have any impact on our results of operations, financial
position or liquidity.
Guarantees: In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45,
"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others ("FIN 45")." This interpretation
expands the disclosure requirements of guarantee obligations and requires the
guarantor to recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation assumed
under a guarantee. In general, FIN 45 applies to contracts or indemnification
agreements that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the
guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying instrument that is related to
an asset, liability, or equity security of the guaranteed party. Other
guarantees are subject to the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 but not to the
recognition provisions and include, among others, a guarantee accounted for as a
derivative instrument under SFAS 133, a parent's guarantee of debt owed to a
third party by its subsidiary or vice versa, and a guarantee which is based on
performance. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective as of December
31, 2002, and require information as to the nature of the guarantee, the maximum
potential amount of future payments that the guarantor could be required to make
under the guarantee, and the current amount of the liability, if any, for the
guarantor's obligations under the guarantee. The recognition requirements of FIN
45 are to be applied prospectively to guarantees issued or modified after
December 31, 2002. Significant guarantees that we have entered are disclosed in
Note 15. We do not expect the requirements of FIN 45 to have a material impact
on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Stock-Based Compensation: In 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 148 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 123" ("SFAS No. 148") which provides alternative methods of
transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method
of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the
effects on reported net income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with
respect to stock-based employee compensation. Finally, this Statement amends APB
Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting," to require disclosure about those
effects in interim financial information. We adopted SFAS No. 148 in the fourth
quarter of 2002. Since we have not changed to a fair value method of stock-based
compensation, the applicable portion of this statement only affects our
disclosures.
We do not recognize compensation expense relating to employee stock options
because we only grant options with an exercise price equal to the fair value of
the stock on the effective date of grant. If we had elected to recognize
compensation
10
expense using a fair value approach, and therefore determined the compensation
based on the value as determined by the modified Black-Scholes option pricing
model, the pro forma net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share would have
been as follows:
2002 2001 2000
---- ---- ----
Net income (loss)--as reported ................................................... $ 91 $ (94) $ (273)
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair
value based method for all awards, net of tax. ................................. (83) (93) (112)
-------- -------- ---------
Net income (loss)--pro forma ..................................................... $ 8 $ (187) $ (385)
======== ======== =========
Basic EPS--as reported ........................................................... $ 0.02 $ (0.15) $ (0.48)
Basic EPS--pro forma ............................................................. (0.09) (0.28) (0.65)
Diluted EPS--as reported ......................................................... 0.02 (0.15) (0.48)
Diluted EPS--pro forma ........................................................... (0.09) (0.28) (0.65)
As reflected in the pro forma amounts in the previous table, the fair value of
each option granted in 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $6.34, $2.40 and $7.50,
respectively. The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant
using the following weighted average assumptions:
2002 2001 2000
---- ---- ----
Risk-free interest rate 4.8% 5.1% 6.7%
Expected life in years 6.5 6.5 7.1
Expected price volatility 61.5% 51.4% 37.0%
Expected dividend yield -- 2.7% 3.7%
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities: In 2002, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146"). This standard
requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal
activities when they are incurred, rather than at the date of a commitment to an
exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease
termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with
a restructuring, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146
is required to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated
after December 31, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. We adopted SFAS
No. 146 in the fourth quarter of 2002. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion.
Gains from Extinguishment of Debt: On April 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections" ("SFAS No. 145"). The portion of SFAS No. 145 that is applicable to
us resulted in the reclassification of extraordinary gains on extinguishment of
debt previously reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income as
extraordinary items to Other expenses, net. The effect of this reclassification
in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income was a decrease to Other
expenses, net of $63 and an increase to Income taxes of $25, from amounts
previously reported, for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets: In 2001, the FASB issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"). SFAS No. 144 retains the
previously existing accounting requirements related to the recognition and
measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used, while
expanding the measurement requirements of long-lived assets to be disposed of by
sale to include discontinued operations. It also expands on the previously
existing reporting requirements for discontinued operations to include a
component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held
for sale. We adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this
standard did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of
operations.
Asset Retirement Obligations: In 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations." This statement addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and associated asset retirement costs. We will adopt SFAS No. 143 on
January 1, 2003 and do not expect this standard to have any effect on our
financial position or results of operations.
Business Combinations: In 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141"), which
requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for business combinations
and prohibits the use of the pooling of interests method. We have not
historically engaged in transactions that qualify for the
11
use of the pooling of interests method and therefore, this aspect of the new
standard will not have an impact on our financial results. SFAS No. 141 also
changes the definition of intangible assets acquired in a purchase business
combination, providing specific criteria for the initial recognition and
measurement of intangible assets apart from goodwill. As a result, the purchase
price allocation of future business combinations may be different than the
allocation that would have resulted under the previous rules. SFAS No. 141 also
requires that upon adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"), we reclassify the
carrying amounts of certain intangible assets into or out of goodwill, based on
certain criteria. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, we reclassified $61 of
intangible assets related to acquired workforce to goodwill that was required by
this standard.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the cost of acquired
businesses in excess of the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible
net assets purchased, and prior to 2002 was amortized on a straight-line basis
over periods ranging from 5 to 40 years. Other intangible assets represent the
fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in purchase business
combinations and include an acquired customer base, distribution network,
technology and trademarks. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line
basis over periods ranging from 7 to 25 years. We adopted SFAS No. 142 on
January 1, 2002 and as a result, goodwill is no longer amortized.
SFAS No. 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill
and other intangible assets subsequent to their initial recognition. This
statement recognizes that goodwill has an indefinite life and will no longer be
subject to periodic amortization. However, goodwill is to be tested at least
annually for impairment, using a fair value methodology, in lieu of
amortization. The provisions of this standard also required that amortization of
goodwill related to equity investments be discontinued, and that these goodwill
amounts continue to be evaluated for impairment in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 18 "The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments
in Common Stock."
SFAS No. 142 also requires performance of annual and transitional impairment
tests on goodwill using a two-step approach. The first step is to identify a
potential impairment and the second step is to measure the amount of any
impairment loss. The first step requires a comparison of the carrying value of
reporting units, as defined, to the fair value of these units. The standard
requires that if a reporting unit's fair value is below its carrying value, a
potential goodwill impairment exists and we would be required to complete the
second step of the transitional impairment test to quantify the amount of the
potential goodwill impairment charge. Based on the results of the first step of
the transitional impairment test, we identified potential goodwill impairments
in the reporting units included in our Developing Markets Operations ("DMO")
operating segment. We subsequently completed the second step of the transitional
goodwill impairment test, which required us to estimate the implied fair value
of goodwill for each DMO reporting unit by allocating the fair value of each
reporting unit to all of the reporting unit's assets and liabilities. The fair
value of the reporting units giving rise to the transitional impairment loss was
estimated using the present value of future expected cash flows. Because the
carrying amount of each reporting unit's assets and liabilities (excluding
goodwill) exceeded the fair value of each reporting unit, we recorded a goodwill
impairment charge of $63. This non-cash charge was recorded as a cumulative
effect of change in accounting principle, in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Income, as of January 1, 2002.
The following tables illustrate the pro-forma impact of the adoption of SFAS No.
142. Net Loss for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, as adjusted for
the exclusion of amortization expense, were as follows:

years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively (including $4 of
amortization in 2001 on the acquired workforce prior to reclassification).
Amortization expense related to these intangible assets is expected to remain
approximately $36 annually through 2007.

(1) Balances include the amount of $61 related to acquired workforce
intangible asset, that was classified to goodwill as of January 1, 2002.
Derivatives and Hedging: Effective January 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards, No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), which requires companies to recognize
all derivatives as assets or liabilities measured at their fair value,
regardless of the purpose or intent of holding them. Gains or losses resulting
from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in
current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a
derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, depending
on the type of hedge transaction. Changes in fair value for derivatives not
designated as hedging instruments and the ineffective portions of hedges are
recognized in earnings in the current period. The adoption of SFAS No. 133
resulted in a net cumulative after-tax loss of $2 in the accompanying
Consolidated Statement of Income and a net cumulative after-tax loss of $19 in
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income which is included in the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Further, as a result of recognizing all derivatives
at fair value, including the differences between the carrying values and fair
values of related hedged assets, liabilities and firm commitments, we recognized
a $361 increase in assets and a $382 increase in liabilities. Refer to Note 12
to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Revenue Recognition: In the normal course of business, 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 and
retail 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
13
consequence, we do not have any significant product warranty obligations,
including any obligations under customer satisfaction programs.
Supplies: Supplies revenue generally is recognized upon shipment or utilization
by customer in accordance with sales terms.
Revenue Recognition Under Bundled Arrangements: We sell most of our products and
services under bundled contract arrangements, which contain multiple deliverable
elements. These contractual lease arrangements typically include equipment,
service, supplies and financing components for which the customer pays a single
negotiated price for all elements. These arrangements typically also include a
variable component for page volumes in excess of contractual minimums, which are
often expressed in terms of price per page, which we refer to as the "cost per
copy." In a typical bundled arrangement, our customer is quoted a fixed minimum
monthly payment for 1) the equipment, 2) the associated services and other
executory costs and 3) the financing element. The fixed minimum monthly payments
are multiplied by the number of months in the contract term to arrive at the
total fixed minimum payments that the customer is obligated to make ("fixed
payments") over the lease term. The payments associated with page volumes in
excess of the minimums are contingent on whether or not such minimums are
exceeded ("contingent payments"). The minimum contractual committed copy volumes
are typically negotiated to equal the customer's estimated copy volume at lease
inception. In applying our lease accounting methodology, we consider the fixed
payments for purposes of allocating to the fair value elements of the contract.
We do not consider the contingent payments for purposes of allocating to the
elements of the contract or recognizing revenue on the sale of the equipment,
given the inherent uncertainties as to whether such amounts will ever be
received. Contingent payments are recognized as revenue in the period when the
customer exceeds the minimum copy volumes specified in the contract.
When separate prices are listed in multiple element customer contracts, such
prices may not be representative of the fair values of those elements, because
the prices of the different components of the arrangement may be modified
through customer negotiations, although the aggregate consideration may remain
the same. Therefore, revenues under these arrangements are allocated based upon
estimated fair values of each element. Our revenue allocation methodology first
begins by determining the fair value of the service component, as well as other
executory costs and any profit thereon and second, by determining the fair value
of the equipment based on comparison of the equipment values in our accounting
systems to a range of cash selling prices or, if applicable, other verifiable
objective evidence of fair value. We perform extensive analyses of available
verifiable objective evidence of equipment fair value based on cash selling
prices 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 support the reasonableness of the lease selling prices,
taking into account residual values that accrue to our benefit, in order for us
to determine that such lease prices are indicative of fair value. Our interest
rates are developed based upon a variety of factors including local prevailing
rates in the marketplace and the customer's credit history, industry and credit
class. These rates are recorded within our pricing systems. The resultant
implicit interest rate, which is the same as our pricing interest rate, unless
adjustment to equipment values is required, is then compared to fair market
value rates to assess the reasonableness of the fair value allocations to the
multiple elements.
Determination of Appropriate Revenue Recognition for Leases: Our accounting for
leases involves specific determinations under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 13 "Accounting for Leases" ("SFAS No. 13") which often involve
complex provisions and significant 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 percent of the economic life of the equipment and (2) a review of the
minimum lease payments to determine if they are equal to or greater than 90
percent of the fair market value of the equipment. Under our current product
portfolio and business strategies, a non-cancelable lease of 45 months or more
generally qualifies as a sale. Certain of our lease contracts are customized for
larger customers, which results in complex terms and conditions and requires
significant judgment in applying the above criteria. In addition to these, there
are also other important criteria that are required to be assessed, including
whether collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable and
whether there are important uncertainties related to costs that we have yet to
incur with respect to the lease. In our opinion, our sales-type lease portfolios
contain only normal credit and collection risks and have no important
uncertainties with respect to future costs. Our leases in our Latin America
operations have historically been recorded as operating leases since a majority
of these leases are terminated significantly prior to the expiration of the
contractual lease term. Specifically, because we generally do not collect the
receivable from the initial transaction upon termination or during any
subsequent lease term, the recoverability of the lease investment is deemed not
to be predictable at lease inception. We continue to evaluate economic, business
and political conditions in the Latin American region to determine if certain
leases will qualify as sales type leases in future periods.
14
The critical estimates and judgements 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. Those estimates are based upon
historical experience with all our products. For purposes of estimating the
economic life, we consider the most objective measure of historical experience
to be the original contract term, since most equipment is returned by lessees at
or near the end of the contracted term. The estimated economic life of most of
our products is five years since this represents the most frequent contractual
lease term for our principal products and only a small percentage of our leases
having original terms longer than five years. We believe that this is
representative of the period during which the equipment is expected to be
economically usable, with normal service, for the purpose for which it is
intended. We continually evaluate the economic life of both existing and newly
introduced products for purposes of this determination. Residual values are
established at lease inception using estimates of fair value at the end of the
lease term. Our residual values are established with due consideration to
forecasted supply and demand for our various products, product retirement and
future product launch plans, end of lease customer behavior, remanufacturing
strategies, used equipment markets if any, competition and technological
changes.
The vast majority of our leases that qualify as sales-type are non-cancelable
and include cancellation penalties approximately equal to the full value of the
leased equipment. 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 taxpayer's best interest or 3) those that
must be renewed each fiscal year, given limitations that may exist on entering
multi- year contracts that are imposed by statute. In these circumstances and in
accordance with the relevant accounting literature, we carefully evaluate these
contracts to assess whether cancellation is remote or the renewal option is
reasonably assured of exercise because of the existence of substantive economic
penalties for the customer's failure to renew.
Aside from the initial lease of equipment to our customers, we may enter
subsequent transactions with the same customer whereby we extend the term. We
evaluate the classification of lease extensions of sales-type leases using the
originally determined economic life for each product. There may be instances
where we have lease extensions for periods that are within the original economic
life of the equipment. These are accounted for as sales-type leases only when
the extensions occur in the last three months of the lease term and they
otherwise meet the appropriate criteria of SFAS 13. All other lease extensions
of this type are accounted for as direct financing leases. We generally account
for lease extensions that go beyond the economic life as operating leases
because of important uncertainties as to the amount of servicing and repair
costs that we may incur.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and
investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Restricted Cash and Investments: Due to our credit ratings, many of our
derivative contracts and several other material contracts require us to post
cash collateral or maintain minimum cash balances in escrow. These cash amounts
are reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets within Other current assets or
Other long-term assets, depending on when the cash will be contractually
released. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, such restricted cash amounts were as
follows:
December 31,
2002 2001
Escrow and cash collections related to the secured borrowings with GE - U.S. and Canada $ 349 $ 199
Escrow related to distribution payments for the 2001 trust preferred securities 155 229
Collateral related to swaps and letters of credit 77 111
Escrow and cash collections related to our asset-backed security transactions and other
restricted cash 97 47
Total $ 678 $ 586
Of these amounts, $263 and $235 were included in Other current assets and $415
and $351, were included in Other long-term assets, as of December 31, 2002 and
2001, respectively. The current amounts are expected to be available for our use
within one year. The total increase in restricted cash during 2002 of $92 is
included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as a use of cash of $104
in other, net of Operating Activities and a source of cash of $12 in investing
activities (of the total $41).
Securitizations and Transfers of Receivables: From time to time, in
the normal course of business, we may securitize or sell finance and accounts
receivable with or without recourse and/or discounts. The receivables are
removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the time they are sold and the
risk of loss has transferred to the purchaser. However, we maintain risk of loss
on our retained interest in such receivables. Sales and transfers that do not
meet the criteria for surrender of control or were sold to a consolidated
special purpose entity (non-qualified special purpose entity) are accounted for
as secured borrowings. When we sell receivables in securitizations of finance
receivables or accounts receivable, we retain servicing rights, beneficial
interests, and, in some cases, a cash reserve account, all of which are retained
interests in the
15
securitized receivables. The value assigned to the retained interests in
securitized trade receivables is based on the relative fair values of the
interest retained and sold in the securitization. We estimate fair value based
on the present value of future expected cash flows using management's best
estimates of the key assumptions, consisting of receivable amounts, anticipated
credit losses and discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. Gains or
losses on the sale of the receivables depend in part on the previous carrying
amount of the financial assets involved in the transfer, allocated between the
assets sold and the retained interests based on their relative fair value at the
date of transfer.
Provisions for Losses on Uncollectible Receivables: The provisions for losses on
uncollectible trade and finance receivables are determined principally on the
basis of past collection experience applied to ongoing evaluations of our
receivables and evaluations of the risks of repayment. Allowances for doubtful
accounts on accounts receivable balances were $282 and $306, as of December 31,
2002 and 2001, respectively. Allowances for doubtful accounts on finance
receivables were $324 and $368 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Inventories: Inventories are carried at the lower of average cost or realizable
values.
Land, Buildings and Equipment and Equipment on Operating Leases: Land, buildings
and equipment are recorded at cost. Buildings and equipment are 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 its estimated residual value over the term of the
lease. Depreciation is computed using principally the straight-line method.
Significant improvements are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are
expensed. Refer to Notes 6 and 7 for further discussion.
Internal Use Software: We capitalize direct costs incurred during the
application development stage and the implementation stage for developing,
purchasing or otherwise acquiring software for internal use. These costs are
amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software, generally three to
five years. All costs incurred during the preliminary project stage, including
project scoping, identification and testing of alternatives, are expensed as
incurred. During 2002 we wrote off $106 of permanently impaired internal-use
capitalized software. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: We review the recoverability of our long-lived
assets, including 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. The measurement of
impairment requires management to make estimates of these cash flows related to
long-lived assets, as well as other fair value determinations.
Research and Development Expenses: Research and development costs are expensed
as incurred.
Pension and Post-Retirement Benefit Obligations: We sponsor pension plans in
various forms and in various countries covering substantially all employees who
meet certain eligibility requirements. Post-retirement benefit plans cover
primarily U.S. employees for retirement medical costs. As required by existing
accounting rules, we employ a delayed recognition feature in measuring the costs
and obligations of pension and post-retirement benefit plans. This allows for
changes in the benefit obligations and changes in the value of assets set aside
to meet those obligations, to be recognized, not as they occur, but
systematically and gradually over subsequent periods. All changes are ultimately
recognized, except to the extent they may be offset by subsequent changes. At
any point, changes that have been identified and quantified await subsequent
accounting recognition as net cost components and as liabilities or assets.
Several statistical and other factors that attempt to anticipate future events
are used in calculating the expense, liability and asset values related to our
pension and post-retirement benefit plans. These factors include assumptions we
make about the discount rate, expected return on plan assets, rate of increase
in healthcare costs, the rate of future compensation increases, and mortality,
among others. Actual returns on plan assets are not immediately recognized in
our income statement, due to the aforementioned delayed recognition feature that
we follow in accounting for pensions. In calculating the expected return on the
plan asset component of our net periodic pension cost, we apply our estimate of
the long term rate of return to the plan assets that support our pension
obligations, after deducting assets that are specifically allocated to
Transitional Retirement Accounts (which are accounted for based on specific plan
terms).
16
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.
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 unrecognized net
actuarial (gain) loss and is subject to amortization to net periodic pension
cost over the remaining service lives of the employees participating in the
pension plan.
An additional significant assumption affecting our pension and post-retirement
benefit obligations and the net periodic pension and other post-retirement
benefit cost is the rate that we use to discount our future anticipated benefit
obligations. In estimating this rate, we consider rates of return on high
quality fixed-income investments currently available, and expected to be
available, during the period to maturity of the pension benefits.
Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency for most foreign
operations is the local currency. Net assets are translated at current rates of
exchange, and income, expense and cash flow items are translated at the average
exchange rate for the year. The translation adjustments are recorded in
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The U.S. dollar is used as the
functional currency for certain 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 $77 in 2002 and gains were $29
and $103 in 2001 and 2000, respectively, and are included in Other expenses, net
in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Effective January 1,
2002, we changed the functional currency of our Argentina operation from the
U.S. dollar to the Peso as a result of operational changes made subsequent to
the government's new economic plan.
Note 2--Restructuring Programs
Since early 2000, we have engaged in a series of restructuring programs related
to downsizing our employee base, exiting certain businesses, outsourcing certain
internal functions and engaging in other actions designed to reduce our cost
structure. We accomplished these objectives through the undertaking of
restructuring initiatives, two of which, the SOHO Disengagement and the March
2000 Restructuring, are now substantially completed. The execution of the
Turnaround Program and the Fourth Quarter 2002 Restructuring Program and related
payments of obligations continued through December 31, 2002. As management
continues to evaluate the business, there may be supplemental charges for new
plan initiatives as well as changes in estimates to amounts previously recorded,
as payments are made or actions are completed. Asset impairment charges were
incurred in connection with these restructuring actions for those assets made
obsolete or redundant as a result of the plans. The restructuring and asset
impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income totaled $670, $715
and $475 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The restructuring initiatives and a summary of the impacts on our financial
statements were as follows:
RESTRUCTURING ACTION INITIATION OF PLAN
. Fourth Quarter 2002 Restructuring Program November 2002
. Turnaround Program October 2000
. SOHO Disengagement June 2001
. March 2000 Restructuring March 2000
Detailed information about each of the above restructuring programs and the
applicable accounting rules we applied are outlined below.
Fourth Quarter 2002 Restructuring Program. As more fully discussed in Note 1, on
October 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 146. During the fourth
quarter of 2002, we announced a worldwide restructuring program and subsequently
recorded a provision of $402. The fair value of the initial liability was
determined by discounting the future cash outflows using our credit-adjusted
risk-free borrowing rate of 5.9 percent. The provision consisted of $312 for
17
severance and related costs (including $32 for special termination benefits and
pension curtailment charges) and $45 of costs associated with lease terminations
and future rental obligations net of estimated future sublease rents. We also
recorded $45 for asset impairments associated with the exit activities. Of the
total asset impairment charge, $32 relates to the recognition of currency
translation adjustment losses on our investment that were recognized in
conjunction with the shutdown of a foreign subsidiary. The remaining asset
impairment related to the write-off of leasehold improvements in exited
facilities. The total included in Restructuring and asset impairment charges in
the Consolidated Statements of Income for the Fourth Quarter 2002 Restructuring
Program was $402.
Key initiatives of this restructuring include the following:
.. Streamlining manufacturing and administrative operations;
.. Transitioning to an indirect sales and service model for our Office segment
in Europe;
.. Implementing an average ten percent reduction in the number of middle and
upper managers across all our businesses in the United States;
.. Outsourcing work in areas not related to our core business operations and
where there is an economic advantage. This includes the outsourcing of
certain service functions and moving towards an indirect sales model where
it was deemed cost beneficial to do so.
.. Implementing a wide-ranging series of initiatives across Developing Markets
Operations ("DMO") geographies to improve productivity and reduce costs; and
.. Integrating Xerox Engineering Systems ("XES") into our North American and
European operations from its previous stand-alone structure.
The severance and other employee separation costs are related to the elimination
of approximately 4,700 positions worldwide. Approximately 55 percent, 31
percent, 11 percent and 3 percent of the positions related to the U.S., Europe,
Latin America and Canada, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, approximately
1,700 of the 4,700 affected employees had been separated under the program, and
a majority of the remainder are expected to be separated in the first quarter of
2003.
SFAS No. 146 requires recognition and measurement of a liability for lease and
other contract termination costs. For those lease contracts that are not
terminated, a liability must be recorded when the entity ceases using the leased
property. This liability is based on remaining rentals over the lease term, net
of estimated sublease rentals that can be reasonably obtained for the property,
regardless of whether the entity intends to enter a sublease. The sublease rates
are based on estimated market rental rates. External factors, such as
appraisals, recent rental activities in local markets, history of subleases in
the same or similar space and other factors are all considered when estimating
sublease rentals. Our estimated lease costs of $45 for properties exited as part
of the Fourth Quarter 2002 Restructuring Program are net of future sublease
rentals of $19.
The lease termination and asset impairment charge related primarily to the
exiting and consolidation of office facilities, distribution centers and
warehouses worldwide. The majority of the U.S. consolidation resulted in a
provision of $36, and was for facilities located in California and other smaller
locations. The remaining provision of $9 related to the consolidation of certain
European facilities as a result of the reduction in personnel. The Fourth
Quarter Restructuring Program reserve balance at December 31, 2002 of $286 is
expected to be substantially utilized in 2003. As mentioned above, we recorded
$32 in special termination benefits and pension curtailment charges representing
enhanced retirement benefits given to early retirees and the recognition of
previously unrecognized pension and other benefit costs that will be paid to
such employees. In addition to these pension related costs, we also incur others
such as pension settlements. A pension settlement occurs when we make lump-sum
cash payments to plan participants in exchange for their rights to receive
pension benefits in the future. We are required to recognize a loss, if at the
time of the settlement, the assets attributable to those participants included
unrecognized losses. We expect that many of the terminated employees will
subsequently elect to receive lump-sum cash payments in 2003. In accordance with
pension accounting rules, we are not permitted to recognize such gains or
losses, until such settlement occurs. We expect 2003 restructuring charges of
approximately $115, $90 of which are expected to relate to pension settlements
in the Production and Office segments. Such amounts could change based on the
actual level of participants who elect to receive the lump sum distributions and
the pension asset values as of such date. The balance of the planned 2003
restructuring charges relate to additional severance and cost reduction actions
associated with our Xerox Engineering Services ("XES") business in the Other
segment.

Restructuring and asset impairment charges of $402 for the Fourth Quarter 2002
Restructuring Program were comprised of $145 in our Production segment, $102 in
our Office segment, $55 in our DMO segment and $100 in our Other segment.
Turnaround Program. The Turnaround Program began in October to reduce costs,
improve operations, transition customer equipment financing to third party
vendors and sell certain assets.
In the fourth quarter of 2000, we provided $105, consisting of $71 for severance
and related costs and $34 for asset impairments associated with the disposition
of Delphax, which supplied high-speed election beam digital printing systems.
Over half of these charges related to our Production operating segment, with the
remainder relating to our Office, DMO and Other operating segments. During 2001,
we provided an additional $403 of restructuring and asset impairment charges,
net of reversals of $26. The reversals related to actual employee separation
costs being lower than we originally anticipated. This was largely due to
employee attrition, prior to fulfilling the services required before severance
became payable as well as certain employees that were subsequently redeployed
within our other businesses as a result of unrelated attrition in these other
businesses. Of the amounts provided, $339 was for severance and other employee
separation costs (including $21 for pension curtailment charges), $36 was for
lease cancellation and other exit costs and $28 was for asset impairments. The
majority of these charges related to our Production and Office operating
segments. The lease termination and other exit costs and asset impairments
related primarily to manufacturing operations. Included in 2001 restructuring
charges are $24, primarily for severance and other employee separation costs,
related to the outsourcing of certain Office operating segment manufacturing to
Flextronics, as discussed in Note 4.
As of December 31, 2001, we had $223 of Turnaround Program restructuring
reserves remaining, primarily related to employee severance as a result of our
downsizing efforts. During the year ended December 31, 2002, we provided an
additional $253 (including special termination benefits and pension curtailments
of $27), net of $33 reversals. The reversals are related to employee attrition
prior to severance payments, lower costs of outplacement programs and other
costs. These provisions were primarily for severance and other employee
separation costs affecting our Production and Office operating segments, as well
as a minor amount of lease termination and other costs. The 2002 charge related
to the elimination of redundant resources and the consolidation of activities
into other existing operations, bringing the total eliminated positions, since
the inception of the Turnaround Program, to approximately 11,200. As of December
31, 2002, substantially all the 11,200 affected employees had separated under
the program. The Turnaround Program reserve balance at December 31, 2002 was
$131, which is expected to be substantially utilized in the first half of 2003.
The total net costs included in Restructuring and asset impairment charges in
the Consolidated Statements of Income for the Turnaround Program were $253, $403
and $105 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
SOHO Disengagement. In 2001, we began a separate restructuring program
associated with the disengagement from our worldwide small office/ home office
("SOHO") business. In connection with exiting this business in 2001, we recorded
a provision of $239, net of reversals of $26. Reversals were primarily related
to a higher than anticipated number of
19
employees re-deployed and better than expected experience in certain contract
terminations. The charge included provisions for the elimination of
approximately 1,200 positions worldwide by the end of 2001, the closing of
facilities and the write down of certain assets to net realizable value. The
restructuring provision associated with this action included $164 for asset
impairments, $49 for lease terminations, purchase commitments and other exit
costs, and $26 for severance and employee separation costs. An additional
provision of $34 related to excess inventory was recorded as a charge to Cost of
Sales in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
During the fourth quarter 2001, we depleted our inventory of personal inkjet and
xerographic printers, copiers, facsimile machines and multifunction devices
which were sold primarily through retail channels to small offices, home offices
and personal users (consumers). We continue to provide service, support and
supplies, including the manufacturing of such supplies, for customers who
currently own these products during a phase-down period to meet customer needs.
During 2002, we recorded a charge of $10 primarily for asset impairment charges
for a change in the estimated recoverability of the Ireland SOHO facility. The
total net costs included in Restructuring and asset impairment charges in the
Consolidated Statements of Income for the SOHO disengagement were $10 and $239
in 2002 and 2001, respectively. Charges against the reserve were $17 and $52 in
2002 and 2001, respectively. The SOHO disengagement program had been
substantially completed as of December 31, 2002, with $6 of reserves remaining
for severance and lease cancellation costs.
March 2000 Restructuring. In March 2000, we announced details of a worldwide
restructuring program and recorded charges of $489 which included severance and
employee separation costs of $424 related to the elimination of 5,200 positions
worldwide, asset impairments of $30 and other exit costs of $35. An additional
provision of $84 related to excess inventory primarily resulting from the
planned consolidation of certain warehousing operations was recorded as a charge
to Cost of sales. In late 2000, as a result of weakening business conditions,
poor operating results and a change in focus of our new senior management team
toward increasing liquidity, we re-evaluated the remaining plan elements. As a
result of this re-evaluation, we reversed $120 of the original charge. The
amount reversed consisted of $97 related to severance costs associated with
approximately 1,000 positions and $23 related to other costs. The most
significant reversals related to an aggregated $72 for the abandonment of our
plans to outsource warehouse facilities in North America, as well as the
outsourcing of a product manufacturing line. As 2000 progressed and the
Turnaround Program was announced, new senior management determined that the
costs required to complete the planned actions for both of these initiatives and
the estimated payback periods were not in line with their objectives. Based on
the changes in facts and circumstances, we determined that the reserve should be
reversed. The remaining $48 of reversals related to attrition, as well as
management's assessment of remaining employee terminations, in light of the
newly announced Turnaround Program, which involved $71 of new severance charges
in the fourth quarter of 2000. During 2001, we recorded additional provisions of
$83 which included $68 for severance and related costs, asset impairments of $13
and other exit costs of $2 for instances when the actual cost of certain
initiatives exceeded the amount estimated at the time of the original charge. We
also recorded reversals of $17 associated with the cancellation of certain
service and manufacturing initiatives. We provided an additional $5 in 2002 to
complete certain severance-related actions. We recorded asset impairments of $13
and $30 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The total net costs included in
Restructuring and asset impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of
Income for the March 2000 Restructuring were $5, $66 and $369 in 2002, 2001 and
2000, respectively. Charges against the reserve were $17, $204 and $176 in 2002,
2001 and 2000, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, the March 2000
Restructuring Program had been completed.
1998 Restructuring. During 2001, we recorded additional provisions for changes
in estimates of $15 and reversals of $8, primarily as a result of changes in
certain manufacturing initiatives. The total net costs included in Restructuring
and asset impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the
1998 Restructuring was $7 and $1 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Charges against
the reserve were $24, $76 and $247 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. As of
December 31, 2002, the 1998 Restructuring Program had been completed.

Note 3--Acquisitions
CPID Division of Tektronix, Inc.: In January 2000, we and Fuji Xerox completed
the acquisition of the Color Printing and Imaging Division of Tektronix, Inc.
("CPID"). CPID manufactures and sells color printers, ink and related products,
and supplies. The original aggregate consideration paid of $925 in cash,
including $73 paid directly by Fuji Xerox, was subject to purchase price
adjustments pending the finalization of net asset values. During 2001, we were
reimbursed $18 in cash upon finalization of these values which was recorded as a
reduction to goodwill in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The
acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the purchase method of
accounting.
The excess of cash paid over the fair value of net assets acquired was allocated
to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill using a discounted cash flow
approach. The value of the identifiable intangible assets included $27 for
purchased in-process research and development that was expensed in 2000. The
charge represented the fair value of certain acquired research and development
projects that were determined not to have reached technological feasibility as
of the date of the acquisition, and was determined based on a methodology that
utilized the projected after-tax cash flows of the products expected to result
from in-process research and development activities and the stage of completion
of the individual projects. Other identifiable intangible assets acquired were
exclusive of intangible assets acquired by Fuji Xerox, and included the
installed customer base, the distribution network, the existing technology, the
workforce (which was transferred to goodwill upon adopting SFAS No. 142) and
trademarks. These identifiable assets are included in Intangibles assets, net in
the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The other identifiable intangible assets acquired are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives which range from 7 to 25
years. During 2001, certain intangible asset useful lives were revised. As a
result of these revisions, we recorded an additional $9 in amortization expense
during 2001. The goodwill recorded in connection with this transaction was being
amortized on a straight-line basis (over 25 years) through December 31, 2001. On
January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 and the amortization
of goodwill was discontinued. Refer to Note 1 for further discussion of the
adoption of SFAS No. 142.
In connection with this acquisition, we recorded approximately $45 for
anticipated costs associated with exiting certain activities of the acquired
operations. These activities included: (i) the consolidation of duplicate
distribution facilities; (ii) the rationalization of the service organization
and (iii) the exiting of certain lines of the CPID business. The costs
associated with these activities included inventory write-offs, severance
charges, contract cancellation costs and fixed asset impairment charges. During
2001, we revised our originally planned initiatives related to the acquired
European service organization and our estimate of the costs to complete the exit
from our distribution facilities in Europe. These changes, along with certain
other changes, resulted in the reversal of $9 of the originally recorded
reserves, with a corresponding reduction in goodwill.
Note 4--Divestitures and Other Sales
Nigeria: In December 2002, we sold our remaining investment in Nigeria for a
nominal amount and recognized a loss of $35, primarily representing cumulative
translation adjustment losses which were previously unrealized.
Licensing Agreement: In September 2002, we signed a license agreement with a
third party, related to a nonexclusive license for the use of certain of our
existing patents. In October 2002, we received proceeds of $50 and granted the
license. We have no continuing obligation or other commitments to the third
party and recorded the income associated with this transaction as revenue in
Service, outsourcing and rentals in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of
Income.
Katun Corporation: In July 2002, we sold our 22 percent investment in Katun
Corporation, a supplier of aftermarket copier/printer parts and supplies, for
net proceeds of $67. This sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $12, which is
included in Other expenses, net, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Income. After-tax, the sale was essentially break-even, as the taxable basis of
Katun was lower than our carrying value on the sale date resulting in a high
rate of income tax.
Italy Leasing Business: In April 2002, we sold our leasing business in Italy to
a company now owned by General Electric ("GE") for $200 in cash plus the
assumption of $20 of debt. This sale is part of an agreement under which GE, as
successor, will provide ongoing, exclusive equipment financing to our customers
in Italy. The total pre-tax loss on this transaction, which is included in Other
expenses, net, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income, was $27
primarily related to recognition of cumulative translation adjustment losses and
final sale contingency settlements.
Prudential Insurance Company Common Stock: In the first quarter of 2002, we sold
common stock of Prudential Insurance Company, associated with that company's
demutualization. In connection with this sale, we recognized a pre-tax gain of
$19 that is included in Other Expenses, net, in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Income.
21
Delphax: In December 2001, we sold Delphax Systems and Delphax Systems, Inc.
("Delphax") to Check Technology Canada LTD and Check Technology Corporation for
$16. The transaction was essentially break-even. Delphax designs, manufactures
and supplies high-speed electron beam imaging digital printing systems and
related parts, supplies and services.
Nordic Leasing Business: In April 2001, we sold our leasing businesses in four
Nordic countries to a company now owned by GE, for $352 in cash and retained
interests in certain finance receivables for total proceeds of approximately
$370 which approximated book value. These sales are part of an agreement under
which that company will provide ongoing, exclusive equipment financing to our
customers in those countries.
Fuji Xerox Interest: In March 2001, we sold half of our ownership interest in
Fuji Xerox to Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd ("Fuji Film") for $1.3 billion in cash.
In connection with the sale, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $773. Under the
agreement, Fuji Film's ownership interest in Fuji Xerox increased from 50
percent to 75 percent. Our ownership interest decreased to 25 percent and we
retain significant rights as a minority shareholder. We have product
distribution and technology agreements that ensure that both parties have access
to each other's portfolio of patents, technology and products. Fuji Xerox
continues to provide products to us as well as collaborate with us on R&D.
Xerox China: In December 2000, we sold our China operations to Fuji Xerox for
$550. In connection with the sale, Fuji Xerox also assumed $118 of indebtedness.
We recorded a pre-tax gain of $200 in connection with this transaction. Prior to
the sale, our China operations had revenue of $262 in 2000, which is included in
the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income. While Fuji Xerox is our
affiliate, we believe the negotiations for this transaction were similar to
those that would have been entered into with an unaffiliated third party, both
in terms of price and conditions. Both parties were represented by separate
legal counsel.
Commodity Paper Product Line: In June 2000, we entered an agreement with Georgia
Pacific, to sell our U.S. and Canadian commodity paper product line and customer
list and recorded a pre-tax gain of $40 which is included in Other expenses,
net, which represented the proceeds from the sale. We also granted a ten-year
exclusive license related to the use of the Xerox brand name on future paper
sales in exchange for a fair value royalty agreement. In conjunction with the
sale, we also became an agent of Georgia Pacific for which we earn a
market-based commission on sales of commodity paper. Subsequently, in January
2003, we discontinued the agency relationship without penalty, and resumed
direct commodity paper sales.
ContentGuard: In April 2000, we sold a 25 percent ownership interest in our
wholly-owned subsidiary, ContentGuard, to Microsoft, Inc. for $50 and recognized
a pre-tax gain of $23, which is included in Other expenses, net in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. An additional pre-tax gain of
$27 was deferred, pending the achievement of certain performance criteria. In
May 2002, we repaid Microsoft $25, as the performance criteria had not been
achieved. In connection with the sale, ContentGuard also received $40 from
Microsoft for a non-exclusive license of its patents and other intellectual
property and a $25 advance against future royalty income from Microsoft on sales
of products incorporating ContentGuard's technology. The license payment is
being amortized over the ten-year life of the license agreement due to
continuing obligations we have, related to our majority ownership of
ContentGuard. The royalty advance will be recognized in income as earned. These
amounts are not refundable.
Flextronics Manufacturing Outsourcings: In the fourth quarter of 2001, we
entered into purchase and supply agreements with Flextronics, a global
electronics manufacturing services company. Under the agreements, Flextronics
purchased related inventory, property and equipment. Pursuant to the purchase
agreement, we sold our operations in Toronto, Canada; Aguascalientes, Mexico,
Penang, Malaysia, Venray, The Netherlands and Resende, Brazil to Flextronics in
a series of transactions, which were completed in 2002. In total, approximately
4,100 Xerox employees in certain of these operations transferred to Flextronics.
Total proceeds from the sales in 2002 and 2001 were $167, plus the assumption of
certain liabilities, representing a premium over book value. The premium is
being amortized over the life of the supply contract.
Under the supply agreement, Flextronics manufactures and supplies equipment and
components, including electronic components, for the Office segment of our
business. This represents approximately 50 percent of our overall worldwide
manufacturing operations. The initial term of the Flextronics supply agreement
is five years subject to our right to extend for two years. Thereafter it will
automatically be renewed for one-year periods, unless either party elects to
terminate the agreement. We have agreed to purchase from Flextronics most of our
requirements for certain products in specified product families. We also must
purchase certain electronic components from Flextronics, so long as Flextronics
meets certain pricing requirements. Flextronics must acquire inventory in
anticipation of meeting our forecasted requirements and must maintain sufficient
manufacturing capacity to satisfy such forecasted requirements. Under certain
circumstances, we may become obligated to repurchase inventory that remains

Note 5--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. The components of Finance receivables, net at December 31,
2002 and 2001 follow:
2002 2001
Gross receivables $ 10,685 $ 11,466
Unearned income (1,628) (1,834)
Unguaranteed residual values 272 414
Allowance for doubtful accounts (324) (368)

Current portion of finance receivables not billed, net (3,088) (3,338)
--------- ---------
Amounts due after one year, net $ 5,353 $ 5,756

Contractual maturities of our gross finance receivables subsequent to December
31, 2002 follow (including those already billed of $564):
2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Thereafter
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----------
$ 4,359 $ 2,869 $ 2,031 $ 982 $ 349 $ 95
Our experience has shown that a portion of these finance receivables will be
prepaid prior to maturity. Accordingly, the preceding schedule of contractual
maturities should not be considered a forecast of future cash collections. In
addition, our strategy of exiting, in some geographies, the business of direct
financing of customers' purchases may result in further acceleration of the
collection of these receivables as a result of associated asset sales or
securitizations.
Vendor Financing Initiatives: In 2001, we announced several Framework Agreements
with GE, under which GE would become our primary equipment-financing provider in
the U.S., Canada, Germany and France. In connection therewith, in October 2002,
we completed an eight-year agreement in the U.S. (the "New U.S. Vendor Financing
Agreement"), under which GE Vendor Financial Services, a subsidiary of GE,
became the primary equipment financing provider in the U.S., through monthly
securitizations of our new lease originations. In addition to the $2.5 billion
already funded by GE prior to this agreement, which is secured by portions of
our current lease receivables in the U.S., the New U.S. Vendor Financing
Agreement calls for GE to provide funding in the U.S. on new lease originations,
of up to an additional $5 billion outstanding at anytime, during the eight year
term, subject to normal customer acceptance criteria. The $5 billion limit may
be increased to $8 billion, subject to agreement between the parties. The new
agreement contains mutually agreed renewal options for successive two-year
periods.
Under the agreement, GE is expected to securitize approximately 70 percent of
new U.S. lease originations at over-collateralization rates, which will vary
over time, but are expected to be approximately 10 percent of the net
receivables balance. The securitizations will be subject to interest rates
calculated at each monthly loan occurrence at yield rates consistent with
average rates for similar market based transactions. Refer to Note 11 for
further information on interest rates. Consistent with the loans already
received from GE, the funding received under this new agreement will be recorded
as secured borrowings and the associated receivables will be included in our
Consolidated Balance Sheet. GE's commitment to fund under this new agreement is
not subject to our credit ratings. There are no credit rating defaults that
could impair future funding under this agreement. This agreement contains cross
default provisions related to certain financial covenants contained in the New
Credit Facility and other significant debt facilities. Any default would impair
our ability to receive subsequent funding until the default was cured or waived
but does not accelerate previous borrowings. As of December 31, 2002, we were in
compliance with all covenants and expect to be in compliance for at least the
next twelve months.
In 2002 and 2001, we received financing totaling $1,845 million and $1,175
million, respectively, from GE, secured by lease receivables in the U.S. Net
fees of $9 million and $7 million have been capitalized as debt issue costs
during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In connection
with these transactions, $150 million is in escrow, as security for our
continuing obligations under the transferred contracts. At December 31, 2002,
the remaining balance was $2,323 million and is included in debt in our
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
In May 2002, we launched the Xerox Capital Services ("XCS") venture with GE,
under which XCS now manages our customer administration and leasing activities
in the U.S., including various financing programs, credit approval, order
processing, billing and collections. We account for XCS as a consolidated entity
since we are responsible to fund all of its
23
operations, and, further, all events of termination result in GE receiving back
their entire equity investment and total ownership reverting to us.
France Secured Borrowings: In December 2002, we received $362, net of escrow
requirements, in financing from Merrill Lynch Capital Markets Bank Limited and
Merrill Lynch International Bank Limited (subsidiaries of Merrill Lynch) secured
by some of our lease receivables in France. At December 31, 2002, the remaining
balance is $377 and is included in debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Netherlands Secured Borrowings: Beginning in the second half of 2002, we
received a series of financings from our unconsolidated joint venture with De
Lage Landen International BV (DLL) secured by some of our lease receivables in
The Netherlands. At December 31, 2002, the remaining balance is $112 and is
included in debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Germany Secured Borrowings: In May 2002, we entered into an agreement to
transfer part of our financing operations in Germany to GE. In conjunction with
this transaction, we received loans from GE secured by lease receivables in
Germany. Initial cash proceeds of $79 were net of $15 of escrow requirements. As
part of the transaction we transferred leasing employees to a GE entity which
will also finance certain new leasing business in the future. We currently
consolidate this joint venture since we retain substantive rights related to the
borrowings. At December 31, 2002, the remaining balance, which includes
additional proceeds received since May 2002, is $95 and is included in debt in
our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
United Kingdom Secured Borrowings: During 2002 and 2001, we received $268 and
$885, respectively, in financing from GE Capital Equipment Finance Limited (a
subsidiary of GE), secured by our portfolios of lease receivables in the United
Kingdom. At December 31, 2002, the remaining balance of $529 is included in debt
in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Canada Secured Borrowings: In 2002, we received $443 of financing from GE,
secured by lease receivables in Canada. Cash proceeds of $428 were net of $8 of
escrow requirements and $7 of fees. At December 31, 2002, the remaining balance
is $319 and is included in debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
U.S. Asset-backed Securities Transaction: In July 2001, we transferred U.S.
lease contracts to a consolidated trust, which in turn sold $513 of
floating-rate asset-backed notes (notes). We received cash proceeds of $480, net
of $3 of expenses and fees. An additional $30 of proceeds are being held in
reserve by the trust until the notes are repaid, which is currently estimated to
be in or around August 2003. Since the trust is consolidated in our financial
statements, we effectively recorded the proceeds received as a secured
borrowing. At December 31, 2002, the remaining balance was $139 and is included
as debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
In 2000, we transferred domestic lease contracts to a special purpose entity
("SPE") as part of a financing transaction, for gross proceeds of $411. The
proceeds received were accounted for as a secured borrowing. At December 31,
2002, the remaining balance was $7 and is included in debt in our Consolidated
Balance Sheet.
As of December 31, 2002, $4,218 of Finance receivables and $219 of Billed
finance receivables are held as collateral in various trusts and SPEs, as
security for the borrowings noted above. Total outstanding debt being secured by
these receivables at December 31, 2002 was $3,900. The SPEs are consolidated in
our financial statements due to their holding non-financial assets and other
conditions which preclude sale accounting. Although the transferred assets are
included in our total assets, we received an opinion from outside legal counsel
that the trusts and SPEs to which the assets were transferred were deemed
bankruptcy remote. As a result, the assets of the trust are not available to
satisfy any of our other obligations.
Accounts Receivable: In 2000, we established two revolving accounts receivable
securitization facilities in the U.S. and Canada aggregating $330. The
facilities enabled us to sell, on an ongoing basis, undivided interests in a
portion of our accounts receivable in exchange for cash.
In May 2002, a credit rating agency downgrade caused a termination event under
our U.S. trade receivable securitization facility. The undivided interest sold
under the U.S. trade receivable securitization facility amounted to $290 at
December 31, 2001 and was accounted for as a sale of receivables. We continued
to sell receivables into the U.S trade receivable securitization facility
pending renegotiation of the facility as a result of this termination event. In
October 2002, the facility was terminated and no additional receivables were
sold to the facility. As a result, in October the counter-party received $231 of
collections from the pool of the then-existing receivables within the facility,
which represented their remaining undivided interest balance. No new receivables
were purchased by the counterparty and we have no further obligations as such
facility has been terminated.
24
The Canadian accounts receivable facility, also accounted for as a sale of
receivables, had undivided interests of $36 at December 31, 2001. It was
impacted by a downgrade in our credit rating in February 2002, which led to a
similar termination event. The Canadian accounts receivable facility was not
renegotiated and the balance of the undivided interests was fully settled
through collections in the first quarter of 2002.
Note 6--Inventories and Equipment on Operating Leases, Net

In certain circumstances, we sublease space not currently required in
operations. Future minimum sublease income under leases with non-cancelable
terms in excess of one year amounted to $45 at December 31, 2002.
Capitalized direct costs associated with developing, purchasing or otherwise
acquiring software for internal use are included in Other long-term assets in
our Consolidated Balance Sheet. These costs are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the expected useful life of the software, beginning when the software
is implemented. The software useful lives generally vary from 3 to 5 years.
Capitalized software balances, net of accumulated amortization, were $341 and
$479 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Amortization expense,
including impairment charges, was $215, $132 and $86 for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
In 2001, we extended our information technology contract with Electronic Data
Systems Corp. ("EDS") for five years through June 30, 2009. Services to be
provided under this contract include support of global mainframe system
processing, application maintenance, desktop and helpdesk support, voice and
data network management and server management. There are no minimum payments due
EDS under the contract. Payments to EDS, which are recorded in SAG, were $357,
$445 and $555 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.
Note 8--Investments in Affiliates, at Equity
Investments in corporate joint ventures and other companies in which we
generally have a 20 to 50 percent ownership interest at December 31, 2002 and
2001 were as follows:
2002 2001
---- ----
Fuji Xerox/(1)/ $563 $532
Other investments 65 100
---- ----
Investments in affiliates at equity $628 $632
==== ====
/(1)/ Our investment in Fuji Xerox of $563 at December 31, 2002, differs from
our implied 25 percent interest in the underlying net assets, or $627,
due primarily to our deferral of gains resulting from sales of assets
by us to Fuji Xerox, partially offset by goodwill we allocated to the
Fuji Xerox investment at the time we acquired our remaining 20 percent
of Xerox Limited from The Rank Group (plc). We cannot recognize such
gains related to our portion of ownership interest in Fuji Xerox.
Fuji Xerox is headquartered in Tokyo and operates in Japan and other areas of
the Pacific Rim, Australia and New Zealand. As discussed in Note 4, we sold half
our interest in Fuji Xerox to Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. in March 2001.

(1) Fuji Xerox changed its fiscal year end in 2001 from December 31 to March
31. The 2002 and 2001 condensed financial data consists of the last three
months of Fuji Xerox's fiscal year 2002 and 2001 and the first nine
months in fiscal year 2003 and 2002, respectively.
We have a technology agreement with Fuji Xerox whereby we receive royalty
payments and rights to access their patent portfolio in exchange for access to
our patent portfolio. We have arrangements with Fuji Xerox whereby we purchase
inventory from and sell inventory to Fuji Xerox. Pricing of the transactions
under these arrangements is based upon negotiations conducted at arm's length.
Certain of these inventory purchases and sales are the result of mutual research
and development arrangements. Our purchase 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,
2002 were as follows:
2002 2001 2000

Note 9--Segment Reporting
Our reportable segments are aligned with how we manage our business and view the
markets we serve. Our 2003 reportable segments are as follows: Production,
Office, DMO, and Other. The accounting policies of the operating segments are
the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
As discussed below, our operating segment financial information for 2002 and
2001 has been restated to reflect changes in operating segment structure made
through 2003.
The Production segment includes black and white products over 91 pages per
minute and color products over 41 pages per minute. Products include the
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 up to 90 pages per minute
and color printers and multi-function devices up to 40 pages per minute.
Products include our family of Document Centre digital multifunction products,
color laser, solid ink and monochrome laser desktop printers, digital and
light-lens copiers and facsimile products. 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.
The DMO segment includes our operations in Latin America, the Middle East,
India, Eurasia, Russia and Africa. This segment includes sales of products that
are typical to the aforementioned segments, however management serves and
evaluates these markets on an aggregate geographic, rather than product, basis.
The segment classified as Other includes several units, none of which met the
thresholds for separate segment reporting. This group primarily includes Xerox
Supplies Group ("XSG") (predominately paper), SOHO, Xerox Engineering Systems
("XES"), Xerox Technology Enterprises ("XTE"), and consulting services, royalty
and license revenues. XES is a business that sells equipment used for special
engineering
27
applications, XConnect is a network service business aimed at optimizing office
efficiency and providing solutions and XTE consists of a collection of high
technology start-up entities. The SOHO segment includes inkjet printers and
personal copiers sold through indirect channels in North America and Europe. The
Other segment profit (loss) includes the profit (loss) from the previously
mentioned sources, equity income received from Fuji Xerox and certain costs
which have not been allocated to the businesses including non-financing and
other corporate costs.
Operating segment information for 2002 and 2001 has been adjusted to reflect
changes in our operating segment structure that were made in 2003 and 2002. The
changes made during 2003 relate to the following: (1) reclassification of our
mid-range color products (11-40 pages per minute) from the Production segment to
the Office segment to align our segment reporting with the marketplace; (2)
reclassification of Small Office/Home Office ("SOHO"), a business we exited in
2001(previously reported as its own segment) to the Other segment as it no
longer met the quantitative thresholds for separate reporting related to
assets, revenues and profitability and its results are no longer regularly
reviewed by our chief operating decision maker; and (3) adjustment of corporate
expense and other allocations to reflect the aforementioned changes, and changes
associated with internal reorganizations made in 2002 as well as decisions
concerning the direct applicability of certain overhead expenses to the
segments. The adjustments increased (decreased) full year 2002 revenues as
follows: Production--$(1,113) million, Office--$921 million, and Other--$192
million. The full year 2002 segment profit was increased (decreased) as follows:
Production--$(163 million), Office--$128 million, DMO--$38 million, and
Other--$(3 million). The adjustments increased (decreased) full year 2001
revenues as follows: Production--$(1,172 million), Office--$1,091 million,
DMO--$(1 million), and Other--$82 million. The full year 2001 segment profit was
increased (decreased) as follows: Production--$(82 million), Office--$86
million, DMO--$60 million, and Other--$(64 million). The operating segment
information for 2000 has not been restated, as it was impracticable to do so.
Therefore, we have presented 2002 and 2001 on the 2003 basis and 2002, 2001 and
2000 on the old basis.

are recorded by our operating units in the accounting records based on
individual assessments as to how the related assets are used. The separate
identification of this information for purposes of segment disclosure is
impracticable, as it is not readily available and the cost to develop it would
be excessive.

Note 10--Net Investment in Discontinued Operations
Our net investment in discontinued operations is included in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets in Other long-term assets and totaled $728 and $749 at December
31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Our net investment is primarily related to the
disengagement from our former insurance holding company, Talegen Holdings, Inc.
("Talegen").
Reinsurance Obligation: Xerox Financial Services, Inc. ("XFSI"), a wholly owned
subsidiary, continues to provide aggregate excess of loss reinsurance coverage
(the Reinsurance Agreements) to two of the former Talegen units, Crum and
Forster Inc. ("C&F") and The Resolution Group, Inc. ("TRG") through Ridge
Reinsurance Limited ("Ridge Re"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of XFSI. The
coverage limits for these two remaining Reinsurance Agreements total $578, which
is exclusive of $234 in C&F coverage that Ridge Re reinsured during the fourth
quarter of 1998.
We, and XFSI, have guaranteed that Ridge Re will meet all its financial
obligations under the two remaining Reinsurance Agreements. Although unlikely,
XFSI may be required, under certain circumstances, to purchase, over time,
additional redeemable preferred shares of Ridge Re, up to a maximum of $301.
During 2001, we replaced $660 of letters of credit, which supported Ridge Re
ceded reinsurance obligations, with trusts which included the then existing
Ridge Re investment portfolio of approximately $405 plus $255 in cash. During
2002, Ridge Re repaid $20 of this cash to us and expects to repay the remaining
$235 during 2003 at the time of the expected novation of the C&F reinsurance
contract to another insurance company. These trusts are required to provide
security with respect to aggregate excess of loss reinsurance obligations under
the two remaining Reinsurance Agreements. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the
balance of the investments in the trusts, consisting of U.S. government,
government agency and high quality corporate bonds, was $759 and $684,
respectively.
Our remaining net investment in Ridge Re was $325 and $319 at December 31, 2002
and 2001, respectively. Based on Ridge Re's current projections of investment
returns and reinsurance payment obligations, we expect to fully recover our
remaining investment. The projected reinsurance payments are based on actuarial
estimates.
30
Performance-Based Instrument: In connection with the sale of TRG in 1997, we
received a $462 performance-based instrument as partial consideration. Cash
distributions are paid on the instrument, based on 72.5 percent of TRG's
available cash flow as defined in the sale agreement. For the years ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001, we have received cash distributions of $24 and $28,
respectively. The recovery of this instrument is dependent upon the sufficiency
of TRG's available cash flows. Based on current cash flow projections, we expect
to fully recover the $410 remaining balance of this instrument.
During 2002, the ultimate parent of TRG sought approval from us to affect a
change in business structure of the entities it holds by combining an insurance
subsidiary of TRG with one of its other insurers. In order to obtain our
approval and enhance the cash flow capabilities of TRG, the ultimate parent of
TRG has entered into a subscription agreement with TRG to purchase an
established number of shares of this instrument each year from TRG beginning in
2003 and continuing through 2017.

Debt Classification: At December 31, 2002, our debt has been classified in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet based on the contractual maturity dates of the
underlying debt instruments or as of the earliest put date available to the debt
holders. At December 31, 2001, our debt was classified in the same manner,
except that $3.5 billion of the aggregate $7.0 billion Revolving credit
agreement, which was due in 2002, was classified as long-term because subsequent
to December 31, 2001, but prior to the issuance of the financial statements, we
refinanced that debt on a long-term basis under the New Credit Facility.
We defer costs associated with debt issuance over the applicable term or to the
first redemption date, in the case of convertible debt or debt with a put
feature. Total deferred debt issuance costs included in Other long-term assets
were $133 and $33 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These costs
are amortized as interest expense in our Consolidated Statement of Income.

Certain of our debt agreements allow us to redeem outstanding debt prior to
scheduled maturity, although the New Credit Facility generally prohibits early
repayment of debt. The actual decision as to early redemption, when and if
possible, will be made at the time the early redemption option becomes
exercisable and will be based on liquidity, prevailing economic and business
conditions, and the relative costs of new borrowing.
Convertible Debt due 2018: In 1998, we issued convertible subordinated
debentures for net proceeds of $575. The original scheduled amount due at
maturity in April 2018 was $1,012 which corresponded to an effective interest
rate of 3.625 percent per annum, including 1.003 percent payable in cash
semiannually beginning in October 1998. These debentures are convertible at any
time at the option of the holder into 7.808 shares of our common stock per 1,000
dollars principal amount at maturity of the debentures. This debt contains a put
option which requires us to purchase any debenture, at the option of the holder,
on April 21, 2003, for a price of 649 dollars per 1,000 dollars principal amount
at maturity of the debentures. We may elect to settle the obligation in cash,
shares of common stock, or any combination thereof. During 2002, we retired $32
of this convertible debt through the exchange of approximately 4 million shares
of common stock valued at $31. During 2001, we retired $58 of this convertible
debt through the exchange of approximately 6 million shares of common stock
valued at $49. As a result of these retirements, the amount due at December 31,
2002 is $556 and is projected to accrete to $863 upon maturity in April 2018.
Debt-for-Equity Exchanges: During 2002, we exchanged an aggregate of $52 of debt
through the exchange of 6.4 million shares of common stock valued at $51 using
the fair market value at the date of exchange. A gain of $1 was recorded in
connection with these transactions. During 2001, we retired $374 of long-term
debt through the exchange of 41 million shares of common stock valued at $311. A
gain of $63 was recorded in connection with these transactions. The gains were
recorded in Other expenses, net in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The
shares were valued using the daily volume-weighted average price of our common
stock over a specified number of days prior to the exchange, based on
contractual terms.
33
Lines of Credit: As of December 31, 2001, we had $7 billion of loans outstanding
under a fully-drawn revolving credit agreement (Old Revolver) due October 22,
2002, which we entered into in 1997 with a group of lenders.
In June 2002, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "New
Credit Facility") with a group of lenders, replacing our prior $7 billion
facility (the "Old Revolver"). At that time, we permanently repaid $2.8 billion
of the Old Revolver and subsequently paid $710 on the New Credit Facility. At
December 31, 2002, the New Credit Facility consisted of two tranches of term
loans totaling $2.0 billion and a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility that
includes a $200 letter of credit subfacility. At December 31, 2002, $3.5 billion
was outstanding under the New Credit Facility. At December 31, 2002 we had no
additional borrowing capacity under the New Credit Facility since the entire
revolving facility was outstanding, including a $10 letter of credit under the
subfacility. Xerox, the parent company, is currently, and expects to remain, the
borrower of all the loans. The Revolving Facility is available, without
sub-limit, to Xerox and to certain subsidiaries including Xerox Canada Capital
Limited, Xerox Capital Europe plc, and other foreign subsidiaries as defined.
We could be required to repay portions of the loans earlier than their scheduled
maturities with specified percentages of any proceeds we receive from capital
market debt issuances, equity issuances or asset sales during the term of the
New Credit Facility, except that the revolving loan commitment cannot be reduced
below $1 billion as a result of such prepayments. Additionally, all loans under
the New Credit Facility become due and payable upon the occurrence of a change
in control.
The New Credit Facility loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 4.50 percent, except
that a $500 term-loan tranche bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread that varies
between 4.00 percent and 4.50 percent, depending on the amount secured.
In connection with the New Credit Facility we incurred fees and other expenses
of $120 which have been capitalized and are being amortized over its term on a
basis consistent with the scheduled repayments in relation to the total amount
of the loan facility.
Subject to certain limits, all obligations under the New Credit Facility are
currently secured by liens on substantially all domestic assets of Xerox
Corporation and substantially all our U.S. subsidiaries (other than Xerox Credit
Corporation) and are guaranteed by substantially all our U.S. subsidiaries. In
addition, revolving loans outstanding from time to time to Xerox Capital
(Europe) plc (XCE) (none at December 31, 2002) are also secured by all XCE's
assets and are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by certain foreign subsidiaries
that directly or indirectly own all the outstanding stock of XCE. Revolving
loans outstanding from time to time to Xerox Canada Capital Limited (XCCL) ($50
at December 31, 2002) are secured by all XCCL's assets and are guaranteed on an
unsecured basis by our material Canadian subsidiaries, as defined.
The New Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants which are
more fully discussed in Note 1.
34
At December 31, 2002, we are in compliance with all aspects of the New Credit
Facility including financial covenants and expect to be in compliance for at
least the next twelve months. Failure to be in compliance with any material
provision or covenant of the New Credit Facility could have a material adverse
effect on our liquidity and operations.
We are required to make scheduled amortization payments of $202.5 on each of
March 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003, and $302.5 on each of March 31, 2004 and
September 30, 2004. In addition, mandatory prepayments are required from a
portion of any proceeds we receive from certain asset transfers or debt or
equity issuances, as those terms are defined in the New Credit Facility. Any
such prepayments would be credited toward the scheduled amortization payments in
direct order of maturity.
Senior Notes. In January 2002, we completed an unregistered offering in the U.S.
($600) and Europe ((euro)225) of 9.75 percent senior notes due in 2009 ("Senior
Notes") and received net cash proceeds of $746, which included $559 and
(euro)209. The senior notes were issued at a 4.833 percent discount and pay
interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15. In March 2002, we filed a
registration statement to exchange senior registered notes for these
unregistered senior notes. This registration statement has not yet been declared
effective. The terms of the debt include increases in the interest rate to the
extent the registration is delayed. Such increases will be up to 0.50 percent
and will be effective until the registration effectiveness is complete. As of
January 17, 2003, the interest rate increased to 10.0 percent. Fees of $16
million incurred in connection with this offering have been capitalized as debt
issue costs and are being amortized over the term of the notes. These Senior
Notes are guaranteed by certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and contain several
affirmative and negative covenants similar to those in the New Credit Facility,
but taken as a whole are less restrictive than those in the New Credit Facility.
We were in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2002.
Guarantees. At December 31, 2002, we have guaranteed $1.9 billion of
indebtedness of our foreign wholly-owned subsidiaries. This debt is included in
our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of such date.
Interest. Interest paid by us on our short- and long-term debt amounted to $772,
$1,074, and $1,050 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

Note 12--Financial Instruments
We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates
and interest rates that could affect our results of operations and financial
condition. Our current below investment-grade credit ratings effectively
constrain our ability to fully use derivative contracts as part of our risk
management strategy described below, especially with respect to interest rate
management. Accordingly, our results of operations are exposed to increased
volatility. As further discussed in Note 1, we adopted SFAS No. 133, as of
January 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 has increased the volatility of
reported earnings and other comprehensive income. In general, the amount of
volatility will vary with the level of derivative and hedging activities and the
market volatility during any period.
We have historically entered into certain derivative contracts, including
interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency swap agreements, forward
exchange contracts and purchased foreign currency options, to manage interest
rate and foreign currency exposures. The fair market values of all our
derivative contracts change with fluctuations in interest rates and/or currency
rates and are designed so that any change in their values is offset by changes
in the values of the underlying exposures. Our derivative instruments are held
solely to hedge economic exposures; we do not enter into derivative instrument
transactions for trading or other speculative purposes and we employ
long-standing policies prescribing that derivative instruments are only to be
used to achieve a very limited set of objectives.
Our primary foreign currency market exposures include the Japanese Yen, Euro,
Brazilian Real, British Pound Sterling and Canadian Dollar. Historically, for
each of our legal entities, we have generally hedged foreign currency
denominated assets and liabilities, primarily through the use of derivative
contracts. Despite our current credit ratings, we have been able to restore
significant economic hedging activities with currency-related derivative
contracts during 2002. Although we are still unable to hedge all our currency
exposures, we are currently utilizing the re-established capacity primarily to
hedge currency exposures related to our foreign-currency denominated debt.
We typically enter into simple unleveraged derivative transactions. Our policy
is to use only counterparties with an investment-grade or better credit rating
and to monitor market risk and exposure for each counterparty. We also utilize
arrangements allowing us to net gains and losses on separate contracts with all
counterparties to further mitigate the credit risk associated with our financial
instruments. Based upon our ongoing evaluation of the replacement cost of our
derivative transactions and counterparty credit-worthiness, we consider the risk
of a material default by a counterparty to be remote.
Due to our credit ratings, many of our derivative contracts and several other
material contracts at December 31, 2002 require us to post cash collateral or
maintain minimum cash balances in escrow. These cash amounts are reported in our
Consolidated Balance Sheets as within Other current assets or Other long-term
assets, depending on when the cash will be contractually released. Such
restricted cash amounts totaled $77 at December 31, 2002.
Interest Rate Risk Management: Virtually all customer-financing assets earn
fixed rates of interest, while a significant portion of our debt bears interest
at variable rates. Historically we have attempted to manage our interest rate
risk by "match-funding" the financing assets and related debt, including through
the use of interest rate swap agreements. However, as our credit ratings
declined, our ability to continue this practice became constrained.
At December 31, 2002, we had $7.0 billion of variable rate debt, including the
$3.5 billion outstanding under the New Credit Facility and the notional value of
our pay-variable interest-rate swaps. The notional value of our offsetting
pay-fixed interest-rate swaps was $1.2 billion.
Our loans related to vendor financing, from parties including GE, are secured by
customer-financing assets and are designed to mature ratably with our collection
of principal payments on the financing assets which secure them. Additionally,
the interest rates on all these loans are fixed. As a result, the vendor
financing loan programs we have implemented create natural match-funding of the
financing assets to the related loans. As we implement additional vendor
financing opportunities and continue to repay existing debt, the portion of our
financing assets which is match-funded against related secured debt will
increase.
Single Currency Interest Rate Swaps: At December 31, 2002 and 2001 we had
outstanding single currency interest rate swap agreements with aggregate
notional amounts of $3,820 and $4,415, respectively. The net asset fair values
at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $121 and $52, respectively.
Foreign Currency Interest Rate Swaps: In cases where we issue foreign
currency-denominated debt, we enter into cross-currency interest rate swap
agreements if possible, whereby we swap the proceeds and related interest
payments with a counterparty. In return, we receive and effectively denominate
the debt in local functional currencies.
36
At December 31, 2002 and 2001, we had outstanding cross-currency interest rate
swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $879 and $1,481,
respectively. The net asset fair values at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $21
and $17, respectively. Of the outstanding agreements at December 31, 2002, the
largest single currency hedged was the Japanese yen. Contracts denominated in
Japanese yen, Pound sterling and Euros accounted for over 95 percent of our
cross-currency interest rate swap agreements.
The aggregate notional amounts of interest rate swaps by maturity date and type

The majority of the variable portions of our swaps pay interest based on spreads
against LIBOR or the European Interbank Rate.
Derivatives Marked-to-Market Results: While our existing portfolio of interest
rate derivative instruments is intended to economically hedge interest rate
risks to the extent possible, differences between the contract terms of our
derivatives and the underlying related debt reduce our ability to obtain hedge
accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 133. This results in mark-to-market
valuation of the majority of our derivatives directly through earnings, which
accordingly leads to increased earnings volatility. During 2002 and 2001, we
recorded net gains of $12 and net losses of $2, respectively, from the
mark-to-market valuation of interest rate derivatives for which we did not apply
hedge accounting.
Fair Value Hedges: During 2002, pay variable/receive fixed interest rate swaps
with a notional amount of $600 and associated with the Senior Notes due in 2009,
were designated and accounted for as fair value hedges. The swaps were
structured to hedge the fair value of the debt by converting it from a fixed
rate instrument to a variable based instrument. Since the hedging relationship
qualified under SFAS No. 133, no ineffective portion was recorded to earnings
during 2002. During 2001, certain Japanese yen/U.S. dollar cross-currency
interest rate swaps with a notional amount of 65 billion yen were designated and
accounted for as fair value hedges. The net ineffective portion recorded to
earnings during 2001 was a loss of $7 and is included in Other expenses, net in
the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. All components of each
derivatives gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
Hedge accounting was discontinued in the fourth quarter 2001 after the swaps
were terminated and moved to a different counterparty, because the new swaps did
not satisfy certain SFAS No. 133 requirements.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management:
Currency Derivatives: We utilize forward exchange contracts and purchased option
contracts to hedge against the potentially adverse impacts of foreign currency
fluctuations on foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. 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.
We also utilize currency derivatives to hedge anticipated transactions,
primarily forecasted purchases of foreign-sourced inventory and foreign currency
lease, interest and other payments. These contracts generally mature in six
months or less. Although these contracts are intended to economically hedge
foreign currency risks to the extent possible, differences between the contract
terms of our derivatives and the underlying forecasted exposures reduce our
ability to obtain hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 133. Accordingly,
the changes in value for a majority of these derivatives are recorded directly
through earnings.
During 2002, 2001 and 2000, we recorded aggregate exchange losses of $77 and
gains of $29 and $103, respectively. This reflects the changes in the values of
all our foreign currency derivatives, for which we did not apply hedge
accounting, together with exchange gains and losses on foreign currency
underlying assets and liabilities.
37
At December 31, 2002 and 2001, we had outstanding forward exchange and purchased
option contracts with gross notional values of $3,319 and $3,900, respectively.
The net asset (liability) fair values of our currency derivatives at December
31, 2002 and 2001 were $(50) and $8, respectively. The following is a summary of
the primary hedging positions held as of December 31, 2002:

* Includes reclassification of $7 in 2002 and $12 in 2001 of the after-tax
transition loss of $19.
During 2002 and 2001, certain forward contracts used to hedge Euro denominated
interest payments were designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges.
Accordingly, the change in value of these derivatives is included in the
rollforward of AOCI above. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded to the
Consolidated Statements of Income during 2002 or 2001 for our designated cash
flow hedges and all components of each derivatives gain or loss are included in
the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The amount reclassified to earnings
during 2001 and 2002 represents the recognition of deferred gains or losses
along with the underlying hedged transactions.
Net Investment Hedges: We also utilize derivative instruments and non-derivative
financial instruments to hedge against the potentially adverse impacts of
foreign currency fluctuations on certain of our investments in foreign entities.
During 2001, $18 of net after-tax gains related to hedges of our net investments
in Xerox Brazil and Fuji Xerox were recorded in the cumulative translation
adjustments account. The amounts recorded during 2002 were less than $1.

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

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

income on TRA assets of $(448), $(400) and $228 for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
During 2002, we incurred special termination benefits and recognized
curtailment/settlement losses as a result of restructuring programs.
Accordingly, the special termination benefit cost of $29, and $18 of the total
recognized settlement/curtailment loss amount of $55 is included as a
restructuring charge in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
Pension plan assets consist of both defined benefit plan assets and assets
legally restricted to the TRA accounts. The combined investment results for
these plans, along with the results for our other defined benefit plans, are
shown above in the actual return on plan assets caption. To the extent that
investment results relate to TRA, such results are charged directly to these
accounts as a component of interest cost.
Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts
reported for the health care plans. For measurement purposes, a 13.8 percent
annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits
was assumed for 2003, decreasing gradually to 5.2 percent in 2008 and
thereafter.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") Benefits.: In 1989, we established an
ESOP and sold to it 10 million shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
("Convertible Preferred") of the Company for a purchase price of $785. Each ESOP
share is presently convertible into six common shares of our common stock (the
"Convertible Preferred"). The Convertible Preferred has a $1 par value and a
guaranteed minimum value of $78.25 per share and accrues annual dividends of
$6.25 per share, which are cumulative if earned. When the ESOP was established,
the ESOP borrowed the purchase price from a group of lenders. The ESOP debt was
included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as debt because we guaranteed the
ESOP borrowings. A corresponding and offsetting amount was classified as
Deferred ESOP benefits and represented our commitment to future compensation
expense related to the ESOP benefits as well as an offset to the preferred
shares included in equity. In the second quarter of 2002, we repaid the
outstanding balance of ESOP debt of $135. We recorded an intercompany receivable
from the ESOP trust, in connection with our repayment of the ESOP debt, which
eliminates in consolidation. Accordingly, the repayment of the ESOP debt
effectively represents a retirement of third party debt and therefore such debt
is no longer included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The repayment of debt
did not affect the recognition of compensation expense associated with the ESOP;
however, interest expense was lower in 2002.
In connection with our decision in 2001 to eliminate the quarterly dividends on
our common stock, dividends on the Convertible Preferred were suspended in July
2001. The ESOP requires pre-determined debt service obligations for each period
to be funded by a combination of dividends and employee contributions over the
term of the plan. The dividends do not affect our Consolidated Statements of
Income, while the contributions are recorded as expense in such statements. As a
result of the suspension of dividends, we were required, under the terms of the
plan, to increase our contributions to the ESOP trust in order to meet the
pre-determined amount of debt service obligations. In addition, since the
dividend requirement on the Convertible Preferred is cumulative, dividends
continued to accumulate in arrears until dividends were reinstated. As of the
end of the third quarter of 2002, the cumulative dividend amounted to $67,
including $11 representing the third quarter 2002 dividend requirement. In
September 2002, the payment of Cumulative Preferred dividends was reinstated by
our Board of Directors and $67 of Convertible Preferred dividends were declared.
This resulted in a reversal of the previously accrued incremental compensation
expense of $67 ($32 of which related to 2001). During the fourth quarter of
2002, dividends of $11 were declared. These were paid in January 2003. There was
no corresponding earnings per share improvement in 2002 since the EPS
calculation requires deduction of dividends declared from reported net income in
arriving at net income available to common shareholders.

==== ===== ====
The difference between the 2002 effective tax rate of 23.8 percent and the U.S.
federal statutory income tax rate relates primarily to the recognition of tax
benefits from the favorable resolution of a foreign tax audit, tax law changes
as well as the retroactive declaration of ESOP dividends. Such benefits are
offset, in part, by tax expense recorded for the ongoing examination in India,
the sale of our interest in Katun Corporation as well as recurring losses in
certain jurisdictions where we are not providing tax benefits.
The difference between the 2001 effective tax rate of 126.1 percent and the U.S.
federal statutory income tax rate relates primarily to the recognition of
deferred tax asset valuation allowances resulting from our recoverability
assessments, the taxes incurred in connection with the sale of our partial
interest in Fuji Xerox and recurring losses in low tax jurisdictions. The gain
for tax purposes on the sale of Fuji Xerox was disproportionate to the gain for
book purposes as a result of a lower tax basis in the investment. Other items
favorably impacting the tax rate included a tax audit resolution and additional
tax benefits arising from prior period restructuring provisions.
The difference between the 2000 effective tax rate of 19.1 percent and the U.S.
federal statutory income tax rate relates primarily to recurring losses in low
tax jurisdictions, the recognition of deferred tax asset valuation allowances
resulting from our recoverability assessments and additional tax benefits
arising from the favorable resolution of tax audits.
On a consolidated basis, we paid a total of $442, $57 and $354 in income taxes
to federal, foreign and state jurisdictions in 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

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, 2002 was approximately $5 billion. These earnings have
been permanently reinvested and we do not plan to initiate any action that would
precipitate the payment of income taxes thereon. It is not practicable to
estimate the amount of additional tax that might be payable on the foreign
earnings. As a result of the March 31, 2001 disposition of one-half of our
ownership interest in Fuji Xerox, the investment no longer qualifies as a
foreign corporate joint venture. Accordingly, deferred taxes are required to be
provided on the undistributed earnings of Fuji Xerox, arising subsequent to such
date, as we no longer have the ability to ensure permanent reinvestment.
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions
of the deferred taxes at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were as follows:

The above amounts are classified as current or long-term in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets in accordance with the asset or liability to which they relate.
Current deferred tax assets at December 31, 2002 and 2001 amounted to $449 and
$548, respectively.
The deferred tax assets for the respective periods were assessed for
recoverability and, where applicable, a valuation allowance was recorded to
reduce the total deferred tax asset to an amount that will, more likely than
not, be realized in the future. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets
as of January 1, 2001 was $187. The net change in the total valuation allowance
for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was an increase of $50 and $287,
respectively. The valuation allowance relates to certain foreign net operating
loss carryforwards, foreign tax credit carryforwards and deductible temporary
differences for which we have concluded it is more likely than not that these
items will not be realized in the ordinary course of operations.
43
Although realization is not assured, we have 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 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, 2002, we had tax credit carryforwards of $204 available to
offset future income taxes, of which $159 is available to carryforward
indefinitely while the remaining $45 will begin to expire, if not utilized, in
2004. We also had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of
$262 that will expire in 2003 through 2012, if not utilized, and $1.9 billion
available to offset future taxable income indefinitely.
At December 31, 2002, our Brazilian operations had assessments for indirect and
other taxes which, inclusive of interest, were approximately $260. These
assessments related principally to the internal transfer of inventory. We do not
agree with these assessments and intend to vigorously defend our position. We,
as supported by the opinion of legal counsel, do not believe that the ultimate
resolution of these assessments will materially impact our results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.
We are subject to ongoing tax examinations and assessments in various
jurisdictions. Accordingly, we provide for additional tax expense based upon the
probable outcomes of such matters. In addition, when applicable, we adjust the
previously recorded tax expense to reflect examination results.
From 1995 through 1998, we incurred capital losses from the disposition of our
insurance group operations. Such losses were disallowed under the tax law
existing at the time of the respective dispositions. As a result of IRS
regulations issued in 2002, some portion of the losses may now be claimed
subject to certain limitations. We have filed amended tax returns for 1995
through 1998 reporting $1.2 billion of additional capital losses. As of December
31, 2002, we have $425 of capital gains available to be offset by the capital
losses during the relevant periods and anticipate a potential tax benefit of
approximately $150 to be recognized in a future period. The additional losses
claimed and related tax benefits are subject to formal review by the U.S.
government which is currently in process. We have not recognized any tax benefit
of these losses pending the completion of this review. Any resulting capital
loss carryforwards will expire, if not utilized, by 2003.
Note 15--Litigation, Regulatory Matters and Other Contingencies
Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranty Liabilities:
As more fully discussed in Note 1, we apply the disclosure provisions of FIN 45
to our agreements that contain guarantee or indemnification clauses. These
disclosure provisions expand those required by SFAS No. 5 "Accounting for
Contingencies", by requiring that guarantors disclose certain types of
guarantees, even if the likelihood of requiring the guarantor's performance is
remote. As of December 31, 2002, we have accrued our estimate of liability
incurred under these indemnification arrangements and guarantees. The following
is a description of arrangements in which we are a guarantor.
Indemnifications provided as part of sales and purchases of businesses and real
estate assets - We are a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which we
may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters.
Typically, these obligations arise in the context of contracts that we entered
into for the sale or purchase of businesses or real estate assets, under which
we customarily agree to hold the other party harmless against losses arising
from a breach of representations and covenants. These relate to such matters as
adequate title to assets sold, intellectual property rights, specified
environmental matters, and certain income taxes. In each of these circumstances,
our payment is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the
procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically
allow us to challenge the other party's claims. Further, our obligations under
these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some
instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments we
made.
Patent indemnifications - In most sales transactions to resellers of our
products, we indemnify against possible claims of patent infringement caused by
our products or solutions. These indemnifications usually do not include limits
on the claims, provided the claim is made pursuant to the procedures required in
the sales contract.
For the indemnification agreements discussed above, it is not possible to
predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar
agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts
and circumstances involved in each agreement. Historically, payments we have
made under these agreements did not have a material effect on our business,
financial condition or results of operations.
Residual value guarantees - For certain vendor-financing relationships, we have
guaranteed the leasing company for the residual value position they have taken
subject to the lease. The amount of these guarantees are insignificant at
December 31, 2002, but may be material in future periods to the extent we offer
additional guarantees.
44
Indemnification of Officers and Directors - Our corporate by-laws require that,
except to the extent expressly prohibited by law, we must indemnify our officers
and directors against judgments, fines, 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. The by-laws provide no limit on the
amount of indemnification. As permitted under the State of New York, we have
purchased directors and officers insurance coverage to cover claims made against
the directors and officers during the applicable policy periods. The amounts and
types of coverage have varied from period to period as dictated by market
conditions. The current policy provides $105 of coverage and has no deductible.
The litigation matters and regulatory actions described below involve certain of
the Company's current and former directors and officers, all of whom are covered
by the aforementioned indemnity and if applicable, the current and prior period
insurance policies. However, certain indemnification payments may not be covered
under our director's and officer's insurance coverage.
Product Warranty Liabilities:
In connection with our normal sales of equipment, including those under
sales-type lease, we generally do not issue product warranties. Our arrangements
typically involve a separate full service maintenance agreement with the
customer. The agreements generally extend over a period 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 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.
The following table summarizes product warranty activity recorded for the year
ended December 31, 2002.
Balance Provisions, Balance
December 31, 2001 Changes & Other Payments December 31, 2002
Product warranty liabilities $46 $51 $(72) $25
The decrease in product warranty liabilities at December 31, 2002, as compared
with December 31, 2001, is primarily due to our exit from the SOHO business
in 2001.
Legal Matters:
As more fully discussed below, we are a defendant in numerous litigation and
regulatory matters involving securities law, patent law, environmental law,
employment law and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"). Should
these matters result in a change in our determination as to an unfavorable
outcome, 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
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. 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. That motion is
currently pending.The individual defendants and we deny any
45
wrongdoing and intend to vigorously defend the action. Based on the stage of the
litigation, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or range of
possible loss that might result from an adverse judgment or a settlement of this
matter.
Christine Abarca, et al. v. City of Pomona, et al. (Pomona Water Cases): On June
24, 1999, the Company was served with a summons and complaint filed in the
Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles. The
complaint was filed on behalf of 681 individual plaintiffs claiming damages as a
result of our alleged disposal and/or release of hazardous substances into the
soil, air and groundwater. Subsequently, six additional complaints were filed in
the same court on behalf of another 459 plaintiffs, with the same claims for
damages as the June 1999 action. All seven cases have been served on the
Company, the Company denies liability and it is actively defending against them.
Plaintiffs in all seven cases further allege that they have been exposed to such
hazardous substances by inhalation, ingestion and dermal contact, including but
not limited to hazardous substances contained within the municipal drinking
water supplied by the City of Pomona and the Southern California Water Company.
Plaintiffs' claims against the Company include personal injury, wrongful death,
property damage, negligence, trespass, nuisance, fraudulent concealment,
absolute liability for ultra-hazardous activities, civil conspiracy, battery and
violation of the California Unfair Trade Practices Act. Damages are unspecified.
The seven cases against the Company ("Abarca Group") have been coordinated with
approximately 13 unrelated cases against other defendants which involve alleged
contaminated groundwater and drinking water in the San Gabriel Valley area of
Los Angeles County. In all of those cases, plaintiffs have sued both the
providers of drinking water and the industrial defendants who they contend
contaminated the water. The body of groundwater involved in the Abarca cases,
and allegedly contaminated by the Company, is separate and distinct from the
body of groundwater that is involved in the San Gabriel Valley cases, and there
is no allegation that the Company is involved in the San Gabriel Valley cases.
Nonetheless, the court ordered both groups of cases to be coordinated because
both groups concern allegations of groundwater and drinking water contamination,
have similar theories of liability alleged against the defendants, and involve a
number of similar legal issues, thus apparently making it more efficient, in the
view of the court, for all of them to be handled by one judge. Discovery has
begun and no trial date has been set. Based on the stage of the litigation, it
is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or range of possible loss that
might result from an adverse judgment or a settlement of this matter.
Carlson v. Xerox Corporation, et al.: A consolidated securities law action
(consisting of 21 cases) is pending in the United States District Court for the
District of Connecticut against the Company, KPMG and Paul A. Allaire, G.
Richard Thoman, Anne M. Mulcahy, Barry D. Romeril, Gregory Tayler and Philip
Fishbach. On September 11, 2002, the court entered an endorsement order granting
plaintiffs' motion to file a third consolidated amended complaint. The
defendants' motion to dismiss the second consolidated amended complaint was
denied, as moot. According to the third consolidated amended complaint,
plaintiffs purport to bring this case as a class action on behalf of an expanded
class consisting of all persons and/or entities who purchased Xerox common stock
and/or bonds during the period between February 17, 1998 through June 28, 2002
and who were purportedly damaged thereby ("Class"). The third consolidated
amended complaint sets forth two claims: one alleging that each of the Company,
KPMG, and the individual defendants violated Section 10(b) of the 1934 Act and
SEC Rule 10b-5 thereunder; the other alleging that the individual defendants are
also allegedly liable as "controlling persons" of the Company pursuant to
Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act. Plaintiffs claim that the defendants participated
in a fraudulent scheme that operated as a fraud and deceit on purchasers of the
Company's common stock and bonds by 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 alleged Class to purchase the Company's
common stock and bonds at artificially inflated prices, and prompted a SEC
investigation that led to the April 11, 2002 settlement which, among other
things, required the Company to pay a $10 penalty and restate its financials for
the years 1997 - 2000 (including restatement of financials 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.
That motion is currently pending. The individual defendants and we deny any
wrongdoing and intend to vigorously defend the action. Based on the stage of the
litigation, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or range of
possible loss that might result from an adverse judgment or a settlement of this
matter.
Bingham v. Xerox Corporation, et al: A lawsuit filed by James F. Bingham, a
former employee of the Company, is pending in the Superior Court of Connecticut,
Judicial District of Waterbury (Complex Litigation Docket) against the Company,
Barry D. Romeril, Eunice M. Filter and Paul Allaire. The complaint alleges that
the plaintiff was wrongfully terminated in violation of public policy because he
attempted to disclose to senior management and to remedy alleged accounting
fraud and reporting irregularities. The plaintiff further claims that the
Company and the individual defendants violated the Company's
policies/commitments to refrain from retaliating against employees who report
ethics issues. The plaintiff also asserts claims of defamation and tortious
interference with a contract. He seeks: (i) unspecified compensatory
46
damages in excess of $15 thousand, (ii) punitive damages, and (iii) the cost of
bringing the action and other relief as deemed appropriate by the court. The
parties are engaged in discovery. The individuals and we deny any wrongdoing and
intend to vigorously defend the action. Based on the stage of the litigation, it
is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or range of possible loss that
might result from an adverse judgment or a settlement of this matter.
Berger, et al. v. RIGP: A class was certified in an action originally filed in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois on July
25, 2000 against the Company's Retirement Income Guarantee Plan ("RIGP"). The
RIGP represents the primary U.S. pension plan for salaried employees. Plaintiffs
bring this action on behalf of themselves and an alleged class of over 25,000
persons who received lump sum distributions from RIGP after January 1, 1990.
Plaintiffs assert violations of the ERISA, claiming that the lump sum
distributions were improperly calculated. On July 3, 2001, the court granted the
Plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment, finding the lump sum calculations
violated ERISA. Although the damages sought were not specified in the complaint,
the Plaintiffs submitted papers in December 2001 claiming $284 in damages. On
September 30, 2002, the court entered a final judgment on damages, stating it
would adopt plaintiffs' methodology for calculating such damages. RIGP denies
any wrongdoing and has appealed the District Court's rulings with respect to
both liability and damages. We believe, based on advice of legal counsel, that
it is probable that on appeal that the judgment will be overturned. We cannot
estimate the amount of loss that might result from this matter. If the appeal
should ultimately not prevail, we would have to accrue the full amount of the
expense associated with the judgment as if the judgment were directly against
the Company. Any final judgment after appeal would be paid from RIGP assets.
However, such payment may require the Company to make additional contributions
to RIGP in the future based on a potential shortfall in plan assets available to
pay other plan liabilities.
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. That motion is currently pending. The individual
defendants and we deny any wrongdoing alleged in the complaint and intend to
vigorously defend the action. Based on the stage of the litigation, it is not
possible to estimate the amount of loss or range of possible loss that might
result from an adverse judgment or a settlement of 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 where it will be consolidated with the other
actions. The purported class includes all persons who invested or maintained
investments in the Xerox Stock Fund in the Xerox 401(k) Plans (either salaried
or union) during the proposed class period, May 12, 1997 through November 15,
2002, and allegedly exceeds 50,000 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
claims that all the foregoing defendants were "named" or "de facto" fiduciaries
of the Plan under ERISA and, as such, were obligated to protect the Plan's
assets and act in the best interest of Plan participants. The complaint alleges
that the defendants failed to do so and thereby breached their fiduciary duties.
Specifically, plaintiffs claim that the defendants failed to provide accurate
and complete material information to participants concerning Xerox stock,
including accounting practices which allegedly
47
artificially inflated the value of the stock, and misled participants regarding
the soundness of the stock and the prudence of investing retirement benefits in
Xerox stock. Plaintiff also claims that defendants failed to ensure that Plan
assets were invested prudently, to monitor the other fiduciaries and to
disregard Plan directives they knew or should have known were imprudent. The
complaint does not specify the amount of damages sought. However, it asks that
the losses to the Plan be restored, which it describes as "millions of dollars."
It also seeks other legal and equitable relief, as appropriate, to remedy the
alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, as well as interest, costs and attorneys'
fees. We and the other defendants deny any wrongdoing and intend to vigorously
defend the action. Based on the stage of the litigation, it is not possible to
estimate the amount of loss or range of possible loss that might result from an
adverse judgment or a settlement of this matter.
Digwamaje et al. v. IBM et al: A purported class action was filed in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York on September 27,
2002. Service of the complaint on the Company was deemed effective as of
December 6, 2002. The defendants include Xerox and 80 other corporate defendants
who are accused of providing material assistance to the apartheid government in
South Africa from 1948 to 1994, by engaging in commerce in South Africa and with
the South African government and by employing forced labor, thereby violating
both international and common law. Specifically, plaintiffs claim violations of
the Alien Tort Claims Act, the Torture Victims Protection Act and RICO. They
also assert human rights violations and crimes against humanity. Plaintiffs seek
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 intends to vigorously defend the action and plans
to file a motion to dismiss the complaint. Based upon the stage of the
litigation, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or range of
possible loss that might result from an adverse judgment or a settlement of this
matter.
Arbitration between MPI Technologies, Inc. and Xerox Canada Ltd. and Xerox
Corporation: On November 15, 2001, MPI Technologies, Inc. ("MPI") sent to the
American Arbitration Association a Demand for Arbitration of a dispute arising
under an Agreement made as of March 15, 1994 between MPI and Xerox Canada Ltd.
("XCL") to which the Company later became a party ("Agreement"). The Demand for
Arbitration claimed that XCL and the Company owed royalties to MPI for software
licensed under the Agreement and initially alleged damages "estimated to be in
excess of $30 million." In a subsequent claim submitted in the arbitration
proceedings, MPI has alleged damages of $68.9 for royalties owed, $35.0 for
breach of fiduciary duty, $35.0 in punitive damages and unspecified damages and
injunctive relief with respect to a claim of copyright infringement. The parties
have selected three arbitrators and have agreed to conduct the arbitration in
Canada. On January 13 and 14, 2003, the arbitrators heard argument on the motion
of the Company and XCL to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction MPI's claims for
copyright infringement, breach of fiduciary duty and for punitive damages. The
arbitration panel ruled on February 14, 2003 that it had jurisdiction to hear
all three issues. On March 14, 2003 the Company and XCL petitioned the Ontario
courts to re-decide the issue of the panel's jurisdiction to hear copyright
infringement claims. The Company and XCL deny any liability or wrongdoing,
including any royalties owed, intend to assert a counterclaim against MPI for
overpayment of royalties and intend to vigorously defend the claim. Based on the
stage of the arbitration, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or
the range of possible loss that might result from an adverse ruling or a
settlement of this matter.
Accuscan, Inc. v. Xerox Corporation: On April 11, 1996, an action was commenced
by Accuscan, Inc. ("Accuscan"), in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, against the Company seeking unspecified damages
for infringement of a patent of Accuscan which expired in 1993. The suit, as
amended, was directed to facsimile and certain other products containing
scanning functions and sought damages for sales between 1990 and 1993. On April
1, 1998, the jury entered a verdict in favor of Accuscan for $40. However, on
September 14, 1998, the court granted our motion for a new trial on damages. The
trial ended on October 25, 1999 with a jury verdict of $10. Our motion to set
aside the verdict or, in the alternative, to grant a new trial was denied by the
court. We appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("CAFC")
which found the patent not infringed, thereby terminating the lawsuit subject to
an appeal which has been filed by Accuscan to the U.S. Supreme Court. The
decision of the U.S. Supreme Court was to remand the case (along with eight
others) back to the CAFC to consider its previous decision based on the Supreme
Court's May 28, 2002 ruling in the Festo case. We deny any liability or
wrongdoing and intend to vigorously defend the action.
Derivative Litigation Brought on Behalf of the Company:
In re Xerox Derivative Actions: A consolidated putative shareholder derivative
action is pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New
York against several current and former members of the Board of Directors
including William F. Buehler, B.R. Inman, Antonia Ax:son Johnson, Vernon E.
Jordan, Jr., Yotaro Kobayashi, Hilmar Kopper, Ralph Larsen, George J. Mitchell,
N.J. Nicholas, Jr., John E. Pepper, Patricia Russo, Martha Seger, Thomas C.
Theobald, Paul Allaire, G. Richard Thoman, Anne Mulcahy and Barry Romeril, and
KPMG. The plaintiffs purportedly brought this action in the name of and for the
benefit of the Company, which is named as a nominal defendant, and its public
shareholders.
48
The second consolidated amended complaint alleges that each of the director
defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders
by, among other things, ignoring indications of a lack of oversight at the
Company and the existence of flawed business and accounting practices within the
Company's Mexican and other operations; failing to have in place sufficient
controls and procedures to monitor the Company's accounting practices; knowingly
and recklessly disseminating and permitting to be disseminated, misleading
information to shareholders and the investing public; and permitting the Company
to engage in improper accounting practices. The plaintiffs further allege that
each of the director defendants breached his/her duties of due care and
diligence in the management and administration of the Company's affairs and
grossly mismanaged or aided and abetted the gross mismanagement of the Company
and its assets. The second amended complaint also asserts claims of negligence,
negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty
against KPMG. Additionally, plaintiffs claim that KPMG is liable to Xerox for
contribution, based on KPMG's share of the responsibility for any injuries or
damages for which Xerox is held liable to plaintiffs in related pending
securities class action litigation. On behalf of the Company, the plaintiffs
seek a judgment declaring that the director defendants violated and/or aided and
abetted the breach of their fiduciary duties to the Company and its
shareholders; awarding the Company unspecified compensatory damages against the
director defendants, individually and severally, together with pre-judgement and
post-judgement interest at the maximum rate allowable by law; awarding the
Company punitive damages against the director defendants; awarding the Company
compensatory damages against KPMG; and awarding plaintiffs the costs and
disbursements of this action, including reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees.
On December 16, 2002, the Company and the individual defendants answered the
complaint. The individual defendants deny the wrongdoing alleged and intend to
vigorously defend the litigation.
Pall v. Buehler, et al.: On May 16, 2002, a shareholder commenced a derivative
action in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut
against KPMG. The Company was named as a nominal defendant. Plaintiff purported
to bring this action derivatively in the right, and for the benefit, of the
Company. He contended that he is excused from complying with the prerequisite to
make a demand on the Xerox Board of Directors, and that such demand would be
futile, because the directors are disabled from making a disinterested,
independent decision about whether to prosecute this action. In the original
complaint, plaintiff alleged that KPMG, the Company's former outside auditor,
breached its duties of loyalty and due care owed to Xerox by repeatedly
acquiescing in, permitting and aiding and abetting the manipulation of Xerox's
accounting and financial records in order to improve the Company's publicly
reported financial results. He further claimed that KPMG committed malpractice
and breached its duty to use such skill, prudence and diligence as other members
of the accounting profession commonly possess and exercise. Plaintiff claimed
that as a result of KPMG's breaches of duties, the Company has suffered loss and
damage. On May 29, 2002, plaintiff amended the complaint to add as defendants
the present and certain former directors of the Company. He added claims against
each of them for breach of fiduciary duty, and separate additional claims
against the directors who are or were members of the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors, based upon the alleged failure, inter alia, to implement,
supervise and maintain proper accounting systems, controls and practices. The
amended derivative complaint demands a judgment declaring that the defendants
have violated and/or aided and abetted the breach of fiduciary and professional
duties to the Company and its shareholders; awarding the Company unspecified
compensatory damages, together with pre-judgment and post-judgment interest at
the maximum rate allowable by law; awarding the Company punitive damages; and
awarding the plaintiff the costs and disbursements of the action, including
reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees. On August 16, 2002, the individual
defendants and Xerox filed a motion to dismiss the action. That motion is
currently pending. The individual defendants deny the wrongdoing alleged and
intend to vigorously defend the litigation.
Lerner v. Allaire, et al.: On June 6, 2002, a shareholder, Stanley Lerner,
commenced a derivative action in the United States District Court for the
District of Connecticut against Paul A. Allaire, William F. Buehler, Barry D.
Romeril, Anne M. Mulcahy and G. Richard Thoman. The plaintiff purports to bring
the action derivatively, on behalf of the Company, which is named as a nominal
defendant. Previously, on June 19, 2001, Lerner made a demand on the Board of
Directors to commence suit against certain officers and directors to recover
unspecified damages and compensation paid to these officers and directors. In
his demand, Lerner contended, inter alia, that management was aware since 1998
of material accounting irregularities and failed to take action and that the
Company has been mismanaged. At its September 26, 2001 meeting, the Board of
Directors appointed a special committee to consider, investigate and respond to
the demand. In this action, plaintiff alleges that the individual defendants
breached their fiduciary duties of care and loyalty by disguising the true
operating performance of the Company through improper undisclosed accounting
mechanisms between 1997 and 2000. The complaint alleges that the defendants
benefited personally, through compensation and the sale of company stock, and
either participated in or approved the accounting procedures or failed to
supervise adequately the accounting activities of the Company. The plaintiff
demands a judgment declaring that defendants intentionally breached their
fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders; awarding unspecified
compensatory damages to the Company against the defendants, individually and
severally, together with pre-judgment and post-judgment interest; awarding the
Company punitive damages; and awarding the plaintiff the costs and disbursements
of the action, including reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees. On September
18, 2002, the individual defendants and Xerox filed a motion to dismiss the
action, or alternatively to stay the action pending the disposition of In re
Xerox Derivative Actions. That motion is currently pending. The individual
defendants deny the wrongdoing alleged and intend to vigorously defend the
litigation.

Other Matters:
Xerox Corporation v. 3Com Corporation, et al.: On April 28, 1997, we commenced
an action against Palm for infringement of the Xerox "Unistrokes" handwriting
recognition patent by the Palm Pilot using "Graffiti." On January 14, 1999, the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO") granted the first of two 3Com/Palm
requests for reexamination of the Unistrokes patent challenging its validity.
The PTO concluded its reexaminations and confirmed the validity of all 16 claims
of the original Unistrokes patent. On June 6, 2000, the judge narrowly
interpreted the scope of the Unistrokes patent claims and, based on that narrow
determination, found the Palm Pilot with Graffiti did not infringe the
Unistrokes patent claims. On October 5, 2000, the Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit reversed the finding of no infringement and sent the case back
to the lower court to continue toward trial on the infringement claims. On
December 20, 2001, the District Court granted our motions on infringement and
for a finding of validity thus establishing liability. On December 21, 2001,
Palm appealed to the CAFC. We moved for a trial on damages and an injunction or
bond in lieu of injunction. The District Court denied our motion for a temporary
injunction, but ordered a $50 bond to be posted to protect us against future
damages until the trial. Palm issued a $50 irrevocable letter of credit in favor
of Xerox. In January 2003, after the oral argument, Palm announced that it would
stop including Graffiti in its future operating systems. On February 20, 2003,
the Court of Appeals affirmed the infringement of the Unistrokes patent by
Palm's handheld devices and that Xerox will be entitled to an injunction if the
validity of the patent is favorably determined. It remanded the validity issues
back to the District Court for further validity analysis.
Xerox Corporation v. Business Equipment Research & Test Laboratories, Inc. On
July 9, 2002, the Company filed an action in U.S. District Court for the Western
District of New York against Business Equipment Research & Test Laboratories,
Inc. and one of its owners (collectively "BERTL") alleging libel per se, trade
libel, tortious interference with prospective business relationship, unfair
competition, breach of contract, violation of the federal Computer Fraud and
Abuse Act, deceptive acts and practices and conversion. On December 11, 2002,
Xerox filed an amended complaint, alleging the same claims with greater
specificity. Xerox seeks unspecified damages, injunctive relief and a
declaratory judgment that Xerox has not infringed BERTL's trademarks or
copyrights, breached any agreement with BERTL or engaged in unfair competition.
On January 24, 2003, BERTL filed its answer and sixteen counterclaims against
Xerox Corporation and XCL, totaling $53; comprising $33 in compensatory damages
and $20 in punitive damages in the aggregate. BERTL also moved to dismiss seven
of Xerox's nine claims. BERTL's counterclaims against Xerox principally allege
infringement of copyrights, appropriation of trade secrets, defamation and
breach of contract. The Company and XCL deny any wrongdoing and intend to
vigorously pursue the Company's claims and defend the counterclaims Based on the
stage of the litigation, it is not possible to assess the probable outcome of
the litigation, including the amount of any loss or range of possible loss that
might result from an adverse ruling on the counterclaim in this matter.
U.S. Attorney's Office Investigation: As we announced on September 23, 2002, we
learned that the U.S. attorney's office in Bridgeport, Conn., is conducting an
investigation into matters relating to Xerox. We have not been advised by the
U.S. attorney's office regarding the nature, scope or timing of the
investigation. We are cooperating and providing documents, as requested.
Securities and Exchange Commission Investigation and Review: On April 1, 2002,
we announced that we had reached a settlement with the SEC on the previously
disclosed proposed allegations related to matters that had been under
investigation since June 2000. As a result, on April 11, 2002, the SEC filed a
complaint, which we simultaneously settled by consenting to the entry of an
Order enjoining us from future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act
of 1933, Sections 10(b), 13(a) and 13(b) of the 1934 Act and Rules 10b-5,
12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-13 and 13b2-1 thereunder, requiring payment of a civil
penalty of $10, and imposing other ancillary relief. We neither admitted nor
denied the allegations of the complaint. The $10 civil penalty is included in
Other Expenses, net in 2002 in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Under the
terms of the settlement, in 2001 we restated our financial statements for the
years 1997 through 2000.
As part of the settlement, a special committee of our Board of Directors has
retained Michael H. Sutton, former Chief Accountant of the SEC, as an
independent consultant to review our material accounting controls and policies.
Mr. Sutton commenced his review in July 2002. On February 21, 2003, Mr. Sutton
delivered his final report, together with observations and recommendations, to
members of the special committee. According to the terms of the settlement, the
special committee has 60 days to review the report and submit it to our full
Board of Directors and the SEC. Within 60 days of that submission, the Board of
Directors must report to the SEC the decisions taken as a result of the
recommendations.
Other Matters: It is our policy to carefully investigate, often with the
assistance of outside advisers, allegations of impropriety that may come to our
attention. If the allegations are substantiated, appropriate prompt remedial
action is taken, and where appropriate, public disclosure is made. In India, we
have learned of certain improper payments made over a period
50
of years in connection with sales to government customers by employees of our
now majority-owned subsidiary in that country. This activity was terminated when
we became aware of it. We have investigated the activity and reported it to the
staff of the SEC and the Department of Justice, and are cooperating with their
follow-up inquiries. In addition, various agencies of the Indian government are
also investigating the issue. We do not believe that this matter will have any
material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Separately, we learned
that less than $200 thousand was misappropriated from our Indian subsidiary
during early 2002 which was not properly reflected in our subsidiary's books.
The matter is currently being investigated. Certain transactions of our
unconsolidated South African affiliate that appear to have been improperly
recorded as part of an effort to sell supplies outside of its authorized
territory have been investigated and a report of the results has been received
by the Board of Directors of the South African affiliate. Disciplinary actions
have been taken, and the adjustments to our financial statements were not
material. Following an investigation we have determined that certain
inter-company and other balances in the local books and records of our
majority-owned affiliate in Nigeria could not be substantiated. The Company's
records did not reflect these amounts and the local books have been adjusted to
be consistent with them. This adjustment has had no effect on our financial
statements. This matter has been reported to the SEC and the Department of
Justice. We are in the process of liquidating ("winding-up") this company in
connection with the December 2002 sale of our interest in the Nigerian business
to our local partner.
Note 16--Preferred Securities
As of December 31, 2002, we have four series of outstanding preferred
securities. In total we are authorized to issue 22 million shares of cumulative
preferred stock, $1 par value.
Convertible Preferred Stock: As more fully discussed in Note 13 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, in 1989 we sold 10 million shares of our
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("ESOP Shares") for $785 in connection with
the establishment of our ESOP. This debt was repaid in 2002. As employees with
vested ESOP shares leave the Company, we redeem those shares. We have the option
to settle such redemptions with either shares of common stock or cash, but have
historically settled in common stock.
Outstanding preferred stock related to our ESOP at December 31, 2002 and 2001
follows (shares in thousands):
2002 2001
---- ----
Shares Amount Shares Amount
------ ------ ------ ------
Convertible Preferred Stock ....................................... 7,023 $550 7,730 $605
Preferred Stock Purchase Rights: We have a shareholder rights plan designed to
deter coercive or unfair takeover tactics and to prevent a person or persons
from gaining control of us without offering a fair price to all shareholders.
Under the terms of the plan, one-half of one preferred stock purchase right
("Right") accompanies each share of outstanding common stock. Each full Right
entitles the holder to purchase from us one three-hundredth of a new series of
preferred stock at an exercise price of $250. Within the time limits and under
the circumstances specified in the plan, the Rights entitle the holder to
acquire either our common stock, the stock of the surviving company in a
business combination, or the stock of the purchaser of our assets, having a
value of two times the exercise price. The Rights, which expire in April 2007,
may be redeemed prior to becoming exercisable by action of the Board of
Directors at a redemption price of $.01 per Right. The Rights are non-voting
and, until they become exercisable, have no dilutive effect on the earnings per
share or book value per share of our common stock.
Company-obligated, Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Subsidiary
Trusts Holding Solely Subordinated Debentures of the Company: The components of
Company-obligated, mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of subsidiary
trusts holding solely subordinated debentures of the Company at December 31,
2002 and 2001 follow:

====== ======
Trust II: In 2001, Xerox Capital Trust II ("Capital II"), a trust sponsored and
wholly-owned by us, issued 20.7 million 7.5 percent convertible trust preferred
securities (the "Trust Preferred Securities") to investors for an aggregate
liquidation amount of $1,035 and 0.6 million shares of common securities to us
for an aggregate liquidation amount of $32. With the proceeds from these
securities, Capital II purchased $1,067 aggregate principal amount of 7.5
percent convertible junior subordinated debentures due 2021 of Xerox Funding LLC
II ("Funding"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. With the proceeds from these
securities, Funding purchased $1,067 aggregate principal amount of 7.5 percent
convertible junior subordinated debentures due 2021 of the Company. Capital II's
assets consist principally of Funding's debentures, and Funding's assets consist
principally of our debentures. On a consolidated basis, we received net proceeds
of $1,004, which was net of $31 of fees and expenses. The initial carrying value
is being accreted to liquidation value through Minorities' interests in earnings
of subsidiaries over three years to the earliest redemption date. As of December
31, 2002, the carrying
51
value had accreted to $1,016. We used the net proceeds from the issuance of our
debentures for general corporate purposes, including the payment of our
indebtedness. Our debentures, along with those of Funding, and related income
statement effects are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.
Distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities are charged, net of tax, to
Minorities' interests in earnings of subsidiaries and, together with the
accretion noted above, amounted to $54 after-tax ($89 pre-tax) and $2 after-tax
($4 pre-tax) in 2002 and 2001, respectively. We have effectively guaranteed,
fully and unconditionally, on a subordinated basis, the payment and delivery by
Funding, of all amounts due on the Funding debentures and the payment and
delivery by Capital II of all amounts due on the Trust Preferred Securities, in
each case to the extent required under the terms of the securities.
The Trust Preferred Securities accrue and pay cash distributions quarterly at a
rate of 7.5 percent per annum of the stated liquidation amount of fifty dollars
per trust preferred security. Concurrently, with the initial issuance of the
Trust Preferred Securities, Funding issued 0.2 million common securities to us,
for an aggregate liquidation amount of $229. Funding used the proceeds to
purchase, and deposit with a pledge, trustee U.S. treasuries in order to secure
Funding's obligations under its debentures through the distribution payment date
(November 27, 2004). As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the balance of these
securities was $151 and $229, respectively, and is included in both Other
current assets and Other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Trust Preferred Securities are convertible at any time, at the option of the
investors, into 5.4795 shares of our common stock per Trust Preferred Security,
subject to adjustment. The Trust Preferred Securities are mandatorily redeemable
upon the maturity of the debentures on November 27, 2021 at fifty dollars per
Trust Preferred Security plus accrued and unpaid distributions. Investors may
require us to cause Capital II to purchase all or a portion of the Trust
Preferred Securities on December 4, 2004, and November 27, 2006, 2008, 2011 and
2016 at a price of fifty dollars per Trust Preferred Security, plus accrued and
unpaid distributions. In addition, if we undergo a change in control on or
before December 4, 2004, investors may require us to cause Capital II to
purchase all or a portion of the Trust Preferred Securities. In either case, the
purchase price for such Trust Preferred Securities may be paid in cash or our
common stock, or a combination thereof. If the purchase price or any portion
thereof consists of common stock, investors will receive such common stock at a
value of 95 percent of its then prevailing market price. Capital II may redeem
all, but not part, of the Trust Preferred Securities for cash, prior to December
4, 2004, only if specified changes in tax and investment law occur, at a
redemption price of 100 percent of their liquidation amount plus accrued and
unpaid distributions. On or at anytime after December 4, 2004, Capital II may
redeem all or a portion of the Trust Preferred Securities for cash at declining
redemption prices, with an initial redemption price of 103.75 percent of their
liquidation amount.
Trust I: In 1997, a trust that we sponsored and wholly-own, issued $650
aggregate liquidation amount of preferred securities (the "Original Preferred
Securities") to investors and 20,103 shares of common securities to us. The
proceeds were invested by the trust in $670 aggregate principal amount of our
then newly issued 8 percent Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2027 (the
"Original Debentures"). Pursuant to a registration statement that we, along with
the trust, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1997, the
Original Preferred Securities, with an aggregate liquidation preference amount
of $644, and the Original Debentures with a principal amount of $644, were
exchanged for a like amount of preferred securities (together with the Original
Preferred Securities, the "Preferred Securities") and 8 percent Junior
Subordinated Debentures due 2027 (together with the Original Debentures, the
"Debentures") which were registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The
Debentures represent all the assets of the trust. The Debentures and related
income statement effects are eliminated in our consolidated financial
statements.
The Preferred Securities accrue and pay cash distributions semiannually at a
rate of 8 percent per annum of the stated liquidation amount of one thousand
dollars per Preferred Security. These distributions are recorded in Minorities'
interests in earnings of subsidiaries in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
We have guaranteed (the "Guarantee"), on a subordinated basis, distributions and
other payments due on the Preferred Securities. The Guarantee and our
obligations under the Debentures and in the indenture pursuant to which the
Debentures were issued and our obligations under the Amended and Restated
Declaration of Trust governing the trust, taken together, provide a full and
unconditional guarantee of amounts due on the Preferred Securities.
The Preferred Securities are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the
Debentures on February 1, 2027, or earlier to the extent of any redemption by us
of any Debentures. The redemption price in either such case will be one thousand
dollars per share plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date fixed for
redemption. Total net proceeds were $637, net of $13 in fees and expenses. The
initial carrying value is being accreted to liquidation value over the remaining
term. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001 the initial carrying value had accreted
to $640 and $639, respectively.
Deferred Preferred Stock: In 1996, a subsidiary of ours issued 2 million
deferred preferred shares for Canadian (Cdn.) $50 ($37 U.S.). These shares are
mandatorily redeemable on February 28, 2006 for Cdn. $90 (equivalent to $57 U.S.
at December 31, 2002). The difference between the redemption amount and the
proceeds from the issue is being amortized on a straight-line basis, through the
redemption date, to Minorities' interests in earnings of subsidiaries in the
Consolidated Statements of Income. As of December 31, 2002, $12 remained to be
amortized. We have guaranteed the redemption value.
52
Note 17--Common Stock
We have 1.75 billion authorized shares of common stock, $1 par value after
shareholders approved an increase of 0.7 billion shares on September 9, 2002. At
December 31, 2002 and 2001, 127 million and 113 million shares, respectively,
were reserved for issuance under our incentive compensation plans. In addition,
at December 31, 2002, 57 million common shares were reserved for the conversion
of convertible debt, 36 million common shares were reserved for conversion of
ESOP-related Convertible Preferred Stock and 113 million common shares were
reserved for the conversion of Convertible Trust Preferred Securities.
Stock Option and Long-term Incentive Plans: In October 2002, we adopted the
additional disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148. See Note 1 for further
discussion. We have a long-term incentive plan whereby eligible employees may be
granted non-qualified stock options, shares of common stock (restricted or
unrestricted) and performance/incentive unit rights. Beginning in 1998 and
subject to vesting and other requirements, performance/incentive unit rights are
typically paid in our common stock. The value of each performance/ incentive
unit is based on the growth in earnings per share during the year in which
granted. Performance/ incentive units ratably vest in the three years after the
year awarded. Compensation expense recorded for performance/incentive units at
December 31, 2000 was $5. No amounts were recorded in 2002 and 2001 as the
required 2000 performance/incentive measures were not met. This plan was
discontinued in 2001.
We granted 1.6 million, 1.9 million and 0.4 million shares of restricted stock
to key employees for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. No monetary consideration is paid by employees who receive
restricted shares. Compensation expense for restricted grants is based upon the
grant date market price and is recorded over the vesting period which on average
ranges from one to three years. Compensation expense recorded for restricted
grants was $17, $15 and $18 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Stock options and rights are settled with newly issued or, if available,
treasury shares of our common stock. Stock options generally vest in three years
and expire between eight and ten years from the date of grant. The exercise
price of the options is equal to the market value of our common stock on the
effective date of grant.
At December 31, 2002 and 2001, 43.2 million and 39.7 million shares,
respectively, were available for grant of options or rights. The following table
provides information relating to the status of, and changes in, options granted:

Note 18--Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted earnings per share assumes
that any dilutive convertible preferred shares, convertible subordinated
debentures, and convertible securities outstanding were converted, with related
preferred stock dividend requirements and outstanding common shares adjusted
accordingly. It also assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by
shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options for which market price
exceeds the exercise price, less shares which could have been purchased by us
with the related proceeds. In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is
computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any other
potential shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive.
When computing diluted EPS, we are required to assume conversion of the ESOP
preferred shares into common stock if we are profitable. The conversion
guarantees that each ESOP preferred share be converted into shares worth a
minimum value of $78.25. As long as our common stock price is above $13.04 per
share, the conversion ratio is 6 to 1. As our share price falls below this
amount, the conversion ratio increases.
A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS
calculation follows:

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

In addition, the following securities that could potentially dilute basic EPS in
the future were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so

Note 19-Financial Statements of Subsidiary Guarantors Subsequent to the 2003
Recapitalization
As more fully discussed in Note 21, on June 25, 2003, we completed a $3.6
billion recapitalization of which a portion included the 2003 Credit Facility.
After effectiveness of the 2003 Credit Facility, certain of our subsidiaries
that were formerly required to guarantee our outstanding 9-3/4% Senior Notes due
2009 (see Notes 11 and 20) were no longer required to and no longer guarantee
those notes. As a result, our Senior Notes due 2009 are now guaranteed only by
Intelligent Electronics, Inc. and Xerox International Joint Marketing, Inc. (the
"New Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The Senior Notes due 2010 and 2013 are also
guaranteed only by the New Guarantor Subsidiaries.
The subsidiary guarantees provide that each New Guarantor Subsidiary will fully
and unconditionally guarantee the obligations of Xerox Corporation ("the Parent
Company") under the Senior Notes on a joint and several basis. Each New
Guarantor Subsidiary is wholly-owned by the Parent Company. The following
supplemental financial information sets forth, on a condensed consolidating
basis, the balance sheets, statements of income and statements of cash flows for
the Parent Company, the New Guarantor Subsidiaries, the New Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries and total consolidated Xerox Corporation and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001 and for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and
2000.

Note 21-Subsequent Events (Unaudited)
The following, which was disclosed in Note 8 to the Company's previously filed
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, represents an update to the
Berger, et al. v. RIGP litigation matter that is discussed in Note 15. RIGP
appealed the District Court's ruling with respect to both liability and damages.
Subsequent to this appeal, there were briefings, followed by an oral argument of
the appeal to the Seventh Circuit of Appeals on April 9, 2003. Following the
oral argument, RIGP and its counsel reassessed the probability of a favorable
outcome related to the litigation which has resulted in the Company recording a
charge in the 2003 first quarter equal to the amount of the initial judgment of
$284 plus applicable interest, or $300. Other than for the accrual of interest
at the prime rate, the charge will only be subject to adjustment upon final
legal determination, or upon settlement of the parties. As sponsor of the Plan,
we were required to record the charge related to our obligation as, under
relevant accounting standards, the results of the reassessment required
recognition of the judgment. Although counsel and RIGP continue to believe the
District Court's judgment should be overturned, it is possible that the appeal
may ultimately not prevail. Any final judgment after the decision would be paid
from RIGP assets. However, such payment may require the Company to make
additional contributions to RIGP in the future but not before 2005.
In June 2003, we completed a $3.6 billion recapitalization, that included public
offerings of common stock ($0.4 billion), 3-year mandatory convertible preferred
stock ($0.9 billion), and 7-year and 10-year senior unsecured notes due 2010 and
2013 ($1.3 billion), respectively, as well as a $1 billion credit facility
(collectively referred to as the "Recapitalization"). The credit facility
consists of a $700 million revolving facility and a $300 million term loan, both
maturing in September 2008 (the "2003 Credit Facility").

/(1)/ The amounts reported above have been revised from the amounts originally
included in the Form 10-Qs to reflect the correction of interest expense
as reported in a Form 8-K filed on December 20, 2002. The pre-tax amounts
were adjusted to increase expenses by $8 for the first quarter, $9 for the
second quarter and $10 for the third quarter and increase net loss by $5
for the first quarter and reduce net income by $6 for the second and third
quarters.
/(2)/ The sum of quarterly (loss) earnings per share may differ from the
full-year amounts due to rounding, or in the case of diluted earnings per
share, because securities that are anti-dilutive in certain quarters may
not be anti-dilutive on a full-year basis.
/(3)/ Costs and expenses included restructuring and asset impairment charges of
$146, $53, $63 and $408 for the first, second, third and fourth quarters
of 2002, respectively. Restructuring and asset impairment charges of $129,
$295, $63 and $228 were incurred in the corresponding four quarters of
2001, respectively.
/(4)/ Costs and expenses for the first quarter of 2001 included gains on the
sale of half our interest in Fuji Xerox of $769.
