Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)

March 31, 2002

1.  Description of Business

Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) was established as a joint venture owned equally by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. and Xerox Limited of the United Kingdom, a 100%-owned subsidiary of Xerox Corporation. On March 30, 2001, Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. acquired an additional 25% interest through the acquisition of shares from Xerox Limited. After the acquisition, Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. became the controlling stockholder.

The Company’s territory, as established by Xerox Corporation, extends to the Asia Pacific and Oceania regions and the Company has five factories in Japan, two in China (Shenzhen and Shanghai) and one in Korea.

The Company’s principal business is the manufacture and sale of office automation equipment such as copiers and low-end laser printers and providing related services, collectively referred to as the Document Services Business. Other businesses include logistics and educational services which are not significant.

Domestic revenues and overseas revenues from Southeast Asia, Oceania and other regions based on the location of customers represented 79% and 21% of total revenues, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2002.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries maintain their records and prepare their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries maintain their records and prepare their financial statements in conformity with the conventions of their countries of domicile. Certain reclassifications and adjustments have been incorporated in the consolidated financial statements to conform them to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These adjustments have not been recorded in the Company’s statutory books of account.

Significant accounting policies, after reflecting the adjustments referred to above, are summarized as follows:

Consolidation Policy

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Investments in affiliates in which the Company’s ownership is 20% to 50% are accounted for by the equity method.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency financial statements have been translated into Japanese yen at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and the average exchange rates prevailing during the period for revenue and expense items. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other income (expenses), and those resulting from translation of foreign currency financial statements are excluded from the statements of income and are accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities and Investment Securities

The Company has classified its marketable and investment securities as available-for-sale which are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of related taxes, excluded from the statement of income and included in other comprehensive income (loss) to be reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company does not hold any trading securities or held-to-maturity securities. Realized gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined by the moving-average method.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost generally being determined by the average method.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Depreciation

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed principally by the declining balance method based on estimated useful lives, except for the rental machines acquired on or after January 1, 1999 and buildings acquired on or after April 1, 1998. Depreciation of the rental machines acquired on or after January 1, 1999 and buildings acquired on or after April 1, 1998 is computed by the straight-line method. The following summarizes the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment by major class:

Rental machines

2 –   3 years

Buildings and structures

3 – 50

Machinery and equipment

4 – 17

Vehicles

3 –   7

Tools, furniture and fixtures

2 – 20

Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the periods of 20 to 40 years, except for that acquired in a business combination completed after June 30, 2001. Long-lived assets and goodwill are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. In reviewing for impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of such assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. An impairment loss, equal to the difference between the assets’ fair value and their carrying value, is recognized when the estimated future cash flows are less than their carrying amount.

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“FAS 142”), which requires that goodwill and certain other intangible assets having indefinite lives no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead be subject to periodic testing for impairment. Intangible assets determined to have definitive lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company will adopt FAS 142 on April 1, 2002 and is currently assessing the financial impact of the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets.

Revenue Recognition

Generally, revenue is recognized after services are rendered or products are shipped. Revenue from sales-type leases is recognized at the inception of the lease. Associated interest income is recognized using the interest method with the allocation based on the net investment in outstanding leases. Revenue from other leases is accounted for as operating leases; the rentals under such leases are included in revenue as earned over the terms of the respective leases.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company includes shipping and handling costs, which totaled ¥13,456 million for the year ended March 31, 2002, ¥3,205 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, and ¥12,870 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Advertising Costs

Included in selling, general and administrative expenses are advertising costs which are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to ¥8,114 million for the year ended March 31, 2002, ¥2,094 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, and ¥10,325 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the period in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into foreign exchange contracts and interest rate agreements for hedging currency and interest rate exposures. These instruments include forward foreign exchange contracts, currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements.

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted FAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by FAS 138. FAS 133 established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in fair value will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Upon adoption of FAS 133, the Company recorded a gain of ¥197 million, net of the related income tax effect, as the net transition adjustment in the consolidated statement of income and a net transition gain of ¥376 million, net of the related income tax effect, in accumulated other comprehensive income.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

Prior to the adoption of FAS 133, the change in the value of forward foreign exchange contacts or currency swap contracts hedging existing assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies were offset by the foreign exchange gains or losses of the underlying assets or liabilities being hedged. The discounts or premiums on the instruments were amortized over the lives of the contracts using the straight-line method. For interest rate swaps, the net amounts paid or received and net amounts accrued through the end of the accounting period were included in interest expense.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior periods’ financial statements and related footnote amounts have been made to conform with the current year presentation.

3.    Change in Fiscal Year-End

The Company changed the date of its fiscal year-end from December 31 to March 31 effective the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows are presented for the year ended March 31, 2002, the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000.

4.    Marketable Securities and Investment Securities

Marketable securities and investment securities consist of available-for-sale securities. The cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses, and fair value for such securities by major security type at March 31, 2002 and 2001 are summarized as follows:

The difference between the amounts disclosed above for investment securities and the amounts shown at Note 9 are due to certain non-listed equity securities which are carried at cost but are reduced to net realizable value for other-than-temporary declines in market value.

Gross realized losses on available-for-sale securities, which include the gross unrealized losses considered as other-than-temporary, were ¥1,459 million for the year ended March 31, 2002, ¥167 million for the period ended March 31, 2001, and ¥707 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Proceeds from the sales of available-for-sale securities for the year ended March 31, 2002, the period ended March 31, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000 were ¥376 million, ¥131 million and ¥3,954 million, respectively. Of those sales, gross realized gains from the sales of available-for-sale securities for the years ended March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2000 were ¥223 million and ¥3,182 million, respectively. Such gains for the period ended March 31, 2001 were insignificant. Realized gains and losses and declines in value considered as other-than-temporary are included in other income (expenses).

Net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities, net of the related taxes, decreased by ¥104 million, ¥18 million and ¥3,075 million for the year ended March 31, 2002, the period ended March 31, 2001, and the year ended December 31, 2000, respectively.

15.  Income Taxes (continued)

The net change in the total valuation allowance was a decrease of ¥352 million for the year ended March 31, 2002, an increase of ¥20 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 and a decrease of ¥628 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.

At March 31, 2002, certain subsidiaries of the Company have net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes amounting to ¥3,403 million, which are available to offset against future taxable income, if any. Approximately ¥1,898 million of the operating losses will expire through 2007 while the remainder has an indefinite carryforward period.

The Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability for the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries amounting to approximately ¥32,861 million at March 31, 2002 as the Company considers such earnings to be permanently invested. Deferred income taxes have also not been provided on undistributed earnings of its domestic subsidiaries as such earnings, if distributed in the form of dividends, are not taxable under present tax laws.

17.  Retirement and Severance Benefits

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries have funded and unfunded defined benefit severance plans. Under the plans, employees are entitled to lump-sum payments, or lump-sum and pension annuity payments, based on their current rate of pay and the length of service upon retirement or termination of employment for reasons other than dismissal for cause. The funding policy is to make actuarially determined contributions to provide the plans with sufficient assets to meet future benefit payment requirements.

17.  Retirement and Severance Benefits (continued)

The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries also have defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all of their employees. The plan consists of two portions: a governmental welfare contributory plan (which would otherwise be provided by the Japanese government) and an additional non-contributory defined benefit plan. The pension benefits are determined based on years of service and compensation as stipulated in the pension plan’s regulations. This plan is funded in conformity with the requirements of the Welfare Pension Insurance Law of Japan. During the year ended March 31, 2002, the Company made certain amendments, which resulted in a decrease in the benefit obligation of ¥14,726 million.

Most foreign subsidiaries have various retirement plans, primarily defined contribution plans, covering substantially all of their employees. The funding policy for such defined contribution plans is to contribute annually an amount equal to a certain percentage of the participant’s annual salary.

Reconciliations of beginning and ending balances of the benefit obligations and the fair value of the plan assets, the funded status and amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

Payments to directors and statutory auditors, corporate officers and part-time employees are based on separate plans. Amounts of ¥5,369 million and ¥4,953 million have been accrued as of March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and are included in the liability for retirement and severance benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Total charges to income for these benefits for the year ended March 31, 2002, the period ended March 31, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000 amounted to ¥27,127 million, ¥6,864 million and ¥18,543 million, respectively.

18.  Stockholders’ Equity

On October 1, 2001, an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Commercial Code of Japan (the “Code”) became effective. The Amendment eliminates the stated par value of the Company’s outstanding shares which results in all outstanding shares having no par value as of October 1, 2001. The Amendment also provides that share issuances after September 30, 2001 will be of shares with no par value. Before the Amendment, the Company’s shares had a par value of ¥500 per share.

The Code provides that an amount equal to at least 10% of the amount to be disbursed as a distribution of earnings be appropriated to the legal reserve until the total of such reserve and the additional paid-in capital account equals 25% of the common stock account. The Code also provides to the extent that the sum of additional paid-in capital account and the legal reserve account exceed 25% of the common stock account then the amount of the excess (if any) is available for appropriations by resolution of the stockholders. Legal reserve amounting to ¥5,988 million is included in retained earnings in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2002.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any provision for cash dividends in the amount of ¥8,400 million proposed by the Company for the year ended March 31, 2002.

21.  Financial Instruments

The Company has various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, which are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties. The Company utilizes numerous counterparties to ensure that there are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or groups of counterparties. The Company’s policies prescribe monitoring of creditworthiness and exposure on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis.

The Company operates internationally, giving rise to exposure to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. Certain derivative instruments have been entered into by the Company to manage those exposures. These instruments are held for hedging purposes and include forward foreign exchange contracts, currency swap agreement, interest rate swap agreements and cross currency interest rate swap agreements.

Forward foreign exchange contracts and currency swap agreements are agreements to exchange different currencies at specified exchange rates on a specific future date. Interest rate swap agreements have the effect of changing floating rate debt into fixed rate or fixed rate debt into floating rate. Certain agreements are combinations of interest rate and foreign currency swap transactions. The floating rates are mainly based on the three-month or six-month LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate).

Fair Values of Financial Instruments (continued)

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, these estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. The effect of using different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may be material to the estimated fair value amounts. The following methodologies and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Receivables, Short-Term Debt, Payables and Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities: The carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Marketable Securities and Investment securities: The fair values of the marketable securities and investment securities are based on quoted market prices.

Long-Term Debt: The fair values of long-term debt instruments are based on the present value of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using the current borrowing rate for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The fair values of forward foreign exchange contracts, currency swap agreements, interest rate swap agreements and cross currency interest rate swap agreements are estimated based on quotes form brokers and reflect the estimated amounts that the Company would receive (or pay) to terminate the contracts at the reporting date.

Accounting for and Reporting of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. To manage these risks, the Company enters into various hedging transactions that have been authorized pursuant to its policies and procedures as described below. The Company does not purchase or hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign Currency Risk Management:

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk in the following areas:

Transaction exposures, such as both existing and forecasted sales and purchases and payables/receivables resulting from such transactions

 

 

Exposure of non-functional-currency-denominated debt

21.  Financial Instruments (continued)

Accounting for and Reporting of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (continued)

In order to mitigate the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations, the Company continually assesses its exposure to currency risks and hedges a portion of those risks through the use of derivative instruments, principally forward foreign exchange contracts. The Company does not enter into the type of derivative instruments for purpose other than risk management. Responsibility for managing the Company’s currency exposures and use of currency derivatives is centralized within the finance department and in order to contract foreign currency derivative instruments, the authorization of the finance director is required.

Interest Rate Risk Management:

The Company uses variable-rate debt to finance its operations. As the debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates, management believes it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments. To meet this objective, management enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk. These swaps change the variable-rate cash flow exposure on the debt obligations to fixed-rate cash flows. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt.

The Company assesses interest rate risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. The Company maintains risk management control systems within the finance department to monitor interest rate risk attributable to both the Company’s outstanding or forecasted debt obligations. The risk management control systems involve the use of analytical techniques to estimate expected changes in interest rates on the Company’s future cash flows.

Information with Respect to Cash Flow Hedges:

The Company has entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to protect against the increase or decrease in value of forecasted intercompany purchases or export sales denominated in foreign currency over the next year (maximum length of time is through September 2002). When the yen weakens significantly against the foreign currencies (primarily the U.S. dollars), the increase in value of future foreign currency cost or revenue is offset by gains or losses in the value of the forward exchange contracts designated as hedges. Conversely, when the yen strengthens, the increase or decrease in the value of future foreign currency cash flow is offset by gains or losses in the value of the forward contracts.

21.   Financial Instruments (continued)

Accounting for and Reporting of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (continued)

In addition, the Company entered into a currency swap and cross currency interest rate swaps that effectively convert a portion of the underlying debt amounts to fixed interest rate and to functional currencies for the next three years (maximum length of time is through April 2004), thus reducing the impact of foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate changes on future income. The forecasted cash flows associated with approximately ¥12,756 million of the outstanding debts of the Company were designated as the hedged items to a currency swap and cross currency interest rate swaps at March 31, 2002.

Changes in fair value of those derivative instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges of variability of cash flows are reported in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. These amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period and same line item as the hedged items affect earnings. The amounts which were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to other income (expenses), net of related tax effect, were net gains of ¥875 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. The amount of gains or losses on derivatives or portions thereof that were either ineffective as hedges or excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness were immaterial to the financial position or operating results of the Company.

At March 31, 2002, the Company expects to reclassify ¥107 million of net gains on derivatives from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings during the next twelve months due to actual export sales and import purchases and the payment of the underlying debt.

Derivatives not designated as hedges:

Derivatives not designated as hedges include certain interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts which have been entered into by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. Although these derivatives are effective as hedges from an economic perspective, the Company did not designate these contracts as hedges as required in order to apply hedge accounting. As a result, the Company reported the changes in the fair value of these derivatives in other income (expenses).
