PART I

ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

Kodak is the leader in helping people take, share, print and view images – for memories, for information, for entertainment.  With sales of $13.5 billion in 2004, the Company is committed to a digitally oriented growth strategy focused on the following businesses: Health -- supplying the medical and dental industries with traditional and digital imaging-information products and services, as well as healthcare IT solutions and services; Graphic Communications - offering on-demand color and black and white printing, wide-format inkjet printing, high-speed, high-volume continuous inkjet printing, as well as document scanning, archiving and multi-vendor IT services; Digital & Film Imaging Systems - providing consumers, professionals and cinematographers with digital and traditional products and services; and Display & Components - which designs and manufactures state-of-the-art organic light-emitting diode displays as well as other specialty materials, and delivers imaging sensors to original equipment manufacturers.

RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003. In addition, the Company restated its quarterly consolidated financial statements for each of the quarterly periods in 2003 and for the first three quarters of 2004. The restatement reflects adjustments to correct errors in the Company’s accounting for income taxes, accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits as well as other miscellaneous adjustments. The restatement resulted in the Company adjusting its previously reported 2003 net income of $265 million ($.92 per share) to net income of $253 million ($.88 per share). The nature and impact of these adjustments are described in Note 1: “Significant Accounting Policies and Restatement.” Also see Note 24: “Quarterly Sales and Earnings Data - Unaudited” for the impact of these adjustments on each of the quarterly periods.

REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

As of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company reported financial information for four reportable segments (Digital & Film Imaging Systems, Health, Commercial Imaging, and Graphic Communications).  The balance of the Company’s operations, which individually and in the aggregate do not meet the criteria of a reportable segment, are reported in All Other.  However, in September of 2004, the Company announced the realignment of its operations to accelerate growth in the commercial, consumer and health markets.  In connection with the realignment, the Company’s new reporting structure will be implemented beginning in the first quarter of 2005 as outlined below:

Digital & Film Imaging Systems (D&FIS) Segment:  The D&FIS segment comprises the same products and services as the current D&FIS segment, with the addition of aerial and industrial films.  This segment provides consumers, professionals and cinematographers with digital and traditional products and services.

Health Segment:  There were no changes to the Health segment.  This segment supplies the healthcare industry with traditional and digital image capture and output products and services.

Graphic Communications Segment:  As of January 1, 2005, the Graphic Communications segment consists of Encad, Inc., a maker of wide-format inkjet printers, inks and media; Kodak Versamark, Inc., a world leader in high-speed, 100% variable data printing; and NexPress Solutions, Inc., a leader in on-demand digital color and monochrome image printing systems.  Kodak’s Document Products and Services organization, which includes market-leading production and desktop document scanners, microfilm, worldwide service and support and business process services operations, is also part of this segment, along with Kodak’s 50 percent interest in Kodak Polychrome Graphics LLC (KPG), a joint venture with Sun Chemical. 

The Graphic Communications segment serves a variety of customers in the in-plant, data center, commercial printing and digital service bureau markets with a range of equipment that spans large-format inkjet printing and digital monochrome printing to on-demand digital image-rich color printing and transactional communications. 

On January 12, 2005, the Company announced that it had entered into a Redemption Agreement with Sun Chemical Corporation and Sun Chemical Group B.V. (collectively, “Sun”), pursuant to which the parties have agreed to consummate certain transactions that will result in Kodak owning 100% of the equity interests in Kodak Polychrome Graphics LLC and Kodak Polychrome Graphics Company Ltd (KPG).  The Company completed its acquisition of KPG on April 1, 2005.

On January 31, 2005, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Creo Inc., a premier supplier of prepress systems used by commercial printers worldwide.  The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement is scheduled to take place three business days following the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions.  Either party may terminate the Agreement if the closing does not occur on or before September 30, 2005.


PAGE 4

All Other:  All Other is composed of Kodak’s display and components business for image sensors, and other small, miscellaneous businesses.  It also includes development initiatives in consumer inkjet technologies.  These businesses offer imaging sensors to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and other specialty materials including organic light emitting diode (OLED) products to commercial customers.

In 2003, Kodak announced a comprehensive strategy to be implemented through 2006 to complete its transformation as the leader of the traditional photographic industry to a leadership position in emerging digital imaging markets.

Solid progress was achieved during 2004 in each area of this strategy.  Kodak holds a leading position in key digital product categories where we participate. 

For 2005, the Company’s strategy has been reaffirmed to include the following priorities:

-

Drive digital revenue growth

-

Astutely manage our traditional businesses to stay ahead of market realities, and meet earnings goals

-

Effectively execute the cost structure changes demanded by our transformation

-

Relentlessly control costs associated with every aspect of our business

-

Maintain excellence in delivering customer-centric innovations and imaging solutions with the industry’s highest quality and focused  - as always - on ease of use

By the end of 2005, Kodak expects to have achieved a level of digital revenues that exceeds traditional revenues and a balanced portfolio with three profitably growing digital segments and significant investments in new technologies.

As previously mentioned, the realignment and the new reporting structure are effective for the first quarter of 2005.  Accordingly, the following business discussion is based on the four reportable segments and All Other as they were structured as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004.  Kodak’s sales, earnings and assets by reportable segment for these four reportable segments and All Other for the past three years are shown in Note 23, “Segment Information.”

DIGITAL & FILM IMAGING SYSTEMS (D&FIS) SEGMENT

Sales from continuing operations of the D&FIS segment for 2004, 2003 and 2002 were (in millions) $9,186, $9,248, and $9,002, respectively.

This segment includes digital and traditional products for consumers, professional photographers and the entertainment industry.  This segment combines digital and traditional photography and photographic services in all its forms, including consumer, advanced amateur, professional and motion picture.  Kodak manufactures and markets films (consumer, professional and motion picture), photographic papers, processing services, photofinishing equipment, photographic chemicals, and cameras (including one-time-use, traditional and digital).  Kodak has also developed products that bridge traditional silver halide and digital products.  Products and services include kiosks, printer docks, consumer digital services and inkjet media.  Other digitization options have been created to stimulate more printing of images, adding to the consumption of film and paper.  These products serve amateur photographers, as well as professional, motion picture and television customers.  In addition, Kodak EasyShare gallery (formerly Ofoto.com) has accelerated Kodak’s growth in the online photography market and helped to drive more rapid adoption of digital and online services.  Kodak EasyShare gallery, which has 20 million members, offers digital processing of digital images and traditional film, top-quality prints, private online image storage, sharing, editing and creative tools, frames, cards, photo calendars and other merchandise.


PAGE 5

Digital product offerings are replacing some of the traditional film and output products at varying rates.  For example, the workflow improvements offered by digital are having relatively more significant effects in the professional markets, while digital is having little impact in the entertainment markets.  The future impact of digital substitution on these film markets is difficult to predict due to a number of factors, including the pace of digital technology adoption, the underlying economic strength or weakness in major world markets, household film and media usage following a digital camera purchase, and the timing of digital infrastructure installation.  Additionally, digital substitution is happening at varying rates depending on geography.  For example, the pace of digital substitution in the consumer film market is more rapid in Japan, followed by the U.S. and Western Europe.  For 2005, the Company estimates that consumer film industry volumes could decline worldwide as much as 20% and in the U.S. as much as 30% primarily due to digital substitution. 

Marketing and Competition:  The key elements of the Company’s strategy with respect to the digital and traditional products and services in this segment include growth in digital capture, expansion of online services and mobile imaging, leadership in professional lab solutions, leadership in distributed output at retail and in the home, and intelligent management of the traditional film and paper products and services. 

Traditional products and services for the consumer are sold direct to retailers and through distributors throughout the world.  Price competition continues to exist in all marketplaces.  To be more cost competitive with its traditional product offerings, the Company is continuing to move manufacturing operations to lower cost markets and to rationalize capacity.  As previously outlined, digital product offerings are substituting for some of the traditional film and output products, primarily in the U.S., Japan and Western Europe, as a large number of consumers actively use digital cameras.  While this substitution to date has had an impact primarily on the Company’s film and paper sales, and processing services in the U.S., Japan and Western Europe, the Company’s strategy is to partially mitigate this by providing its own digital products, digitization services and output services.  The Company continues to realize growth in the sale of sensitized products -- including film and paper -- outside the U.S., particularly in emerging markets including Russia, India and China, where the Company has expanded the number of outlets for Kodak products.  To further accelerate the market for photography in China, the Company entered into an agreement with China Lucky Film Corporation in 2003 to work together in this regard.  The final cooperative agreement became effective on February 10, 2004, when the Chinese government approved Kodak’s acquisition of 20% of Lucky Film Co. Ltd.  The Company also has photofinishing laboratories in many parts of the world and supplies photographic papers and chemicals to other entities that provide photofinishing services.  The Company’s primary laboratories provide consumers the opportunity to receive film images in traditional formats or digital form, either through Kodak Picture CD or the Company’s retail online partners.

The Company’s strategies in its consumer digital business are to drive image output and sharing in all forms and make digital easier to use.  Consumer digital products, including digital cameras, self-contained printer docks, which use thermal media to print pictures from digital cameras without the need for a personal computer, and inkjet media, are sold direct to retailers or distributors.  Products are also available to customers through the Internet via online digital services like Kodak EasyShare gallery.  Products such as the Company’s EasyShare digital camera system with the camera docks are intended to simplify digital imaging for consumers and thereby increase the popularity for sharing and printing digital photo files.  The Company faces competition from other electronics manufacturers in this market, particularly on price and technological advances.  Rapid price declines shortly after product introduction in this environment are common, as producers are continually introducing new models with enhanced capabilities, such as improved resolution and/or optical systems.  Kodak EasyShare gallery, the Company’s online printing business, continues to demonstrate strong growth and began the establishment of a customer base in selected overseas markets in 2003.  Late in 2003, the Company announced Kodak Mobile Service, which allows consumers with image-enabled mobile phones to store, share and print their images.


PAGE 6

Traditional and digital professional products and services are sold direct to professional photographers and laboratories, or through dealers throughout the world.  Although the Company continues to provide better performing and innovative traditional films and papers, the focus has shifted towards new products, systems and solutions focused on improving the digital workflow for professional photographers and laboratories.  These solutions range from digital capture devices (digital cameras and scanners) designed to improve the image acquisition or digitalization process, software products designed to enhance and simplify the digital workflow, output devices (thermal printers and digital silver halide writers) designed to produce high quality images, and media (thermal and silver halide) optimized for digital workflows.

Throughout the world, almost all entertainment imaging products are sold direct to studios, laboratories, independent filmmakers, or production companies.  Quality and availability are important factors for these products, which are sold in a price-competitive environment.  When the entertainment industry adopts digital formats, the Company anticipates that it will face new competitors, including some of its current customers and other electronics manufacturers.

Kodak’s advertising programs actively promote the segment’s products and services in its various markets, and its principal trademarks, trade dress and corporate symbol are widely used and recognized.  Kodak is frequently noted by trade and business publications as one of the most recognized and respected brands in the world.

HEALTH SEGMENT

Sales from continuing operations of the Health segment for 2004, 2003 and 2002 were (in millions) $2,686, $2,431, and $2,274, respectively. 

Products and services of the Health segment enable healthcare customers (e.g., hospitals, imaging centers, etc.) to capture, process, integrate, archive and display images and information in a variety of forms.  These products and services provide intelligent decision support through the entire patient pathway from research to detection to diagnosis to treatment.  The Health segment also provides products and services that help customers improve workflow in their facilities, which in turn helps them enhance the quality and productivity of healthcare delivery.

Products of the Health segment include traditional analog medical films, chemicals, and processing equipment.  Kodak’s history in traditional analog imaging has made it a leader in this area and has served as the foundation for building its important digital imaging business.  The segment provides digital medical imaging and information products, systems and solutions, which are key components of sales and earnings growth.  These include laser imagers, digital print films, computed and digital radiography systems, and healthcare information systems (HCIS).  The Health segment serves the general radiology market and specialty health markets, including dental, mammography, orthopedics and oncology.  The segment also provides molecular imaging for the biotechnology research market.

In October 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of PracticeWorks, Inc., a leading provider of dental practice management software.  In the purchase, Kodak also acquired PracticeWorks’ subsidiary, Trophy Radiologie, S.A., a leading provider of dental digital radiographic imaging systems in Paris, France.  This acquisition enables Kodak to offer its customers a full spectrum of dental imaging products and services from traditional film to digital radiography and photography and moved the Health segment into the leading position in the dental practice management and dental radiographic markets. 

In November 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of Algotec Systems, Ltd., a leading developer of advanced picture-archiving-and-communications systems (PACS), which is part of HCIS, in a move that improves Kodak’s competitive position in the growing market for PACS, which enable radiology departments worldwide to digitally manage and store medical images and information.


PAGE 7

Marketing and Competition:  In the U.S., Canada and Latin America, health imaging consumables and analog equipment are sold through distributors.  A significant portion of digital equipment and solutions is sold direct to end users, with the balance sold through distributors and OEMs.  In the U.S., individual hospitals or groups of hospitals represented by, as buying agents, group purchasing organizations (GPOs), account for a significant portion of consumables and equipment sales industry-wide.  The Health segment has secured long-term contracts with many of the major GPOs and, thus, has positioned itself well against competitors.  In Europe, consumables and analog equipment are sold through distributors and value added service providers (VASPs) as well as direct to end users.  Hospitals in Europe, which are a mix of private and government-funded types, employ a highly regimented tender process in acquiring medical imaging products.  In addition to creating a competitive pricing environment, this process can result in a delay of up to 6 to 18 months between the time the tender is delivered to the hospital and the time the hospital makes a decision on the vendor.  Additionally, the government-funded hospitals’ budgets tend to be limited and restricted.  Government reimbursement policies often drive the use of particular types of equipment and influence the transition from analog to digital imaging.  These policies vary widely among European countries.  In Asia and Japan, sales of all products are split between distributors and end users.  In Europe, Asia and Japan, consumables and analog equipment are often sold as part of a media/equipment bundle.  Digital equipment and solutions are sold direct to end-users and through OEMs in these three geographic areas. 

Worldwide, the medical imaging market is crowded with a range of strong competitors.  To compete aggressively, Kodak’s Health segment has developed a full portfolio of value-adding products and services.  Some competitors offer digital solutions similar to those of Kodak, and other competitors offer similar analog solutions or a mix of analog and digital.  Health has a wide range of solutions from analog to digital as well as solutions combining both analog and digital technologies.  Moreover, the segment’s portfolio is expanding into new areas, including enterprise information management solutions, thus enabling the segment to offer solutions that combine medical images and information, such as patient reports, into one unified package for medical practitioners.  Kodak will continue to innovate products and services to meet the changing needs and preferences of the marketplace.

COMMERCIAL IMAGING SEGMENT

Sales from continuing operations of the Commercial Imaging segment for 2004, 2003 and 2002 were (in millions) $803, $791, and $791, respectively.

As of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Commercial Imaging segment encompassed Kodak’s expertise in imaging solutions, providing image capture, analysis, printing and archiving.  Markets for the segment include industrial, banking and insurance applications.  Products include high-speed production document scanners, micrographic peripherals, and aerial, industrial and micrographic films, and optics and optical systems.  The Company also provides maintenance and professional services for Kodak and other manufacturers’ products, as well as providing imaging services to customers.  

In August 2004, the Company completed the sale of the assets and business of the Remote Sensing Systems operation, including the stock of Kodak’s wholly owned subsidiary, Research Systems, Inc. (collectively known as RSS), to ITT Industries, Inc.  The Company’s RSS operation had sales for the period January 1, 2004 through August 13, 2004 of approximately $312 million and sales in 2003 of approximately $424 million.  The results of RSS are included in discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements.

Marketing and Competition:  Throughout the world, document imaging products are sold primarily through distributors and value added resellers.  The end users of these products include businesses in the banking and insurance sectors.  While there is price competition, the Company has been able to maintain price by adding more attractive features to its products through technological advances.  The Company has developed a wide range of digital products to meet the needs of customers who are interested in converting from traditional analog technology to new enterprise digital workflow solutions.  Maintenance and professional services for Kodak and other manufacturer’s products are sold either through the product distribution channel or directly to the end users of equipment.  The Company provides imaging services in Asia which are sold directly to its customers and include both commercial and government customers. 


PAGE 8

GRAPHIC COMMUNICATIONS

Sales from continuing operations comprising Graphic Communications for 2004, 2003 and 2002 were (in millions) $724, $346 and $402, respectively.

As of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, Graphic Communications consists of subsidiaries Encad, Inc., Kodak Versamark, Inc., and NexPress Solutions.  Additionally, the segment includes Kodak’s equity interest in Kodak Polychrome Graphics LLC (KPG).  Products include high-speed, high-volume continuous inkjet printing systems, digital on-demand color and monochrome printing equipment, wide-format inkjet printers, inks, media and services.  These businesses market graphic communications products, inkjet products, and digital color and monochrome printing solutions. 

In January 2004, Kodak acquired Scitex Digital Printing, renamed Kodak Versamark.  This entity is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kodak focused on high-speed, high-volume printing applications, including those in transaction and industrial market segments.  Kodak Versamark provides a full set of high-speed, variable-data inkjet printers, inks, service and other consumables.

In May 2004, Kodak acquired Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG’s (Heidelberg) 50 percent interest in NexPress Solutions LLC, a 50/50 joint venture of Kodak and Heidelberg that makes high-end, on-demand digital color printing systems, and the equity of Heidelberg Digital LLC, a leading maker of digital black-and-white variable-data printing systems.  Kodak also acquired NexPress GmbH, a German subsidiary of Heidelberg that provides engineering and development support, and certain inventory, assets, and employees of Heidelberg’s regional operations or market centers. 

KPG is an unconsolidated joint venture between Kodak and Sun Chemical Corporation in which Kodak owns a 50% interest.  This joint venture is responsible for the photographic plate business, as well as for marketing Kodak graphic arts film, proofing materials and equipment.  The Company’s equity in the income or loss of this interest is reflected in other income (charges), net.

On January 12, 2005, the Company announced that it had entered into a Redemption Agreement with Sun Chemical Corporation and Sun Chemical Group B.V. (collectively, “Sun”), pursuant to which the parties have agreed to consummate certain transactions that will result in Kodak owning 100% of the equity interests in Kodak Polychrome Graphics LLC and Kodak Polychrome Graphics Company Ltd (KPG). The Company completed its acquisition of KPG on April 1, 2005.

On January 31, 2005, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Creo Inc., a premier supplier of prepress systems used by commercial printers worldwide.  The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement is scheduled to take place three business days following the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions.  Either party may terminate the Agreement if the closing does not occur on or before September 30, 2005.

Marketing and Competition:  Throughout the world, graphic communications products are sold primarily through a variety of direct and indirect channels.  The end users of these products include businesses in the commercial printing, data center, in-plant and digital service provider market segments.  While there is price competition, the Company has been able to maintain price by adding more attractive features to its products through technological advances.  The Company has developed a wide-range portfolio of digital products to meet the needs of customers who are interested in converting from traditional analog technology to new enterprise digital workflow solutions.  Maintenance and professional services for Kodak products are sold either through the product distribution channel or directly to the end users of equipment.   

Graphic products, primarily consisting of graphic films and chemistry, are sold directly by the Company to KPG.  The growth in digital printing workflows has negatively affected the sale of graphic films.  The Company announced its intentions to become more active in digital printing products and services to participate in this growth segment.  The acquisitions of Scitex Digital Printing, renamed Kodak Versamark, and the NexPress-related entities were an important step in this direction, as are the planned acquisitions noted above.


PAGE 9

Inkjet products are sold primarily through a two-tiered distribution channel.  The Company remains competitive by focusing on developing new ink and media formulations, new printer technologies, new software and training enhancements.

ALL OTHER

Sales from continuing operations comprising All Other for 2004, 2003 and 2002 were (in millions) $118, $93, and $80, respectively.

All Other consists primarily of the Kodak components group, which represents an effort by Kodak to diversify into high-growth product areas that are consistent with the Company’s historical strengths in imaging science.  As of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Kodak components group was comprised of the imaging sensor solutions business and Kodak display business.  Products of this group include imaging sensor solutions and OLED displays.

In September 2004, Kodak completed the purchase of the imaging business of National Semiconductor Corporation, which develops and manufactures complimentary metal oxide semiconductor image sensor (CIS) devices.  This acquisition has added resources and technologies that will further strengthen the Company’s ability to design next generation CIS devices that promise to deliver improved image quality with complex on-chip image processing circuitry. 

OLED technology, pioneered by Kodak, enables full-color, full-motion flat-panel displays.  Kodak has a leading intellectual property position in this field.  Unique from traditional liquid crystal displays, OLEDs are self-luminous and do not require backlighting.  Their imaging performance, together with extremely fast response time, makes them well suited for video and other image intensive applications.

In 2001, the Company and SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. established a global business venture, the SK Display Corporation, to manufacture OLED displays for consumer devices such as cameras, and portable entertainment devices.  Kodak holds a 34% ownership interest and SANYO holds a 66% interest in the business venture.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA

Financial information by geographic area for the past three years is shown in Note 23, “Segment Information.”

RAW MATERIALS

The raw materials used by the Company are many and varied, and are generally available.  Silver is one of the essential materials used in the manufacture of films and papers.  The Company purchases silver from numerous suppliers under annual agreements or on a spot basis.  Raw base paper is an essential material in the manufacture of photographic papers.  The Company has contracts to acquire raw base paper from certified photographic paper suppliers during the next several years.  Electronic components are prevalent in the Company’s equipment and digital product offerings.  The Company has entered into contracts with numerous vendors to supply these components over the next one to two years.

SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS

Sales and earnings of the D&FIS segment are linked to the timing of vacations, holidays and other leisure activities.  The digital capture and home printing products have experienced peak sales in the fourth quarter as a result of the December holidays.  Sales are normally lowest in the first quarter due to the absence of holidays and fewer people taking vacations during that time.  Sales and earnings of traditional products of this segment are normally strongest in the second and third quarter as demand for the products of this segment is high due to heavy vacation activity, and events such as weddings and graduations.  During the latter part of the third quarter, demand for the products is high as dealers prepare for the holiday seasons.  Demand for photofinishing services is also high during this heavy vacation period.  


PAGE 10

With respect to the Health, Commercial Imaging and Graphic Communications segments, the sales of consumable products, which generate the major portion of the earnings of these segments, tend to occur uniformly throughout the year.  Sales of the lower margin equipment products in these segments tend to be highest in the fourth quarter as purchases by commercial and healthcare customers are linked to their year-end capital budget process.  This pattern is also reflected in the third month of each quarter.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Through the years, Kodak has engaged in extensive and productive efforts in research and development.

Research and development expenditures for the Company’s four reportable segments and All Other for 2004, 2003 and 2002 were as follows:

The downward trend in research and development expenditures in the D&FIS and Commercial Imaging segments and upward trend in the Health and Graphic Communications segments and All Other reflects the shift in strategic focus from traditional products, such as color negative film and paper and color reversal films, to digital product areas, such as display technology, digital medical imaging, software, and digital printing. 

Research and development is headquartered in Rochester, New York.  Other U.S. groups are located in Boston, Massachusetts; Dallas, Texas; Oakdale, Minnesota; New Haven, Connecticut; and San Jose and San Diego, California.  Outside the U.S., groups are located in England, France, Israel, Germany, Japan, China, Singapore and Canada.  These groups work in close cooperation with manufacturing units and marketing organizations to develop new products and applications to serve both existing and new markets.

It has been Kodak’s general practice to protect its investment in research and development and its freedom to use its inventions by obtaining patents.  The ownership of these patents contributes to Kodak’s ability to provide leadership products and to generate revenue from licensing.  The Company holds portfolios of patents in several areas important to its business, including color negative films, processing and papers; digital cameras; network photo fulfillment; x-ray films, mammography systems, computed radiography, digital radiography, photothermographic technology for high quality dry printing, picture archive and communication systems, radiology information systems and organic light-emitting diodes.  Each of these areas is important to existing and emerging business opportunities that bear directly on the Company’s overall business performance.

The Company’s major products are not dependent upon one single, material patent.  Rather, the technologies that underlie the Company’s products are supported by an aggregation of patents having various remaining lives and expiration dates.  There are no individual patents or group of patents the expiration of which is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.  

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Kodak is subject to various laws and governmental regulations concerning environmental matters.  The U.S. federal environmental legislation and state regulatory programs having an impact on Kodak include the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the NY State Chemical Bulk Storage Regulations and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (the Superfund Law).


PAGE 11

It is the Company’s policy to carry out its business activities in a manner consistent with sound health, safety and environmental management practices, and to comply with applicable health, safety and environmental laws and regulations.  Kodak continues to engage in a program for environmental protection and control.

Based upon information presently available, future costs associated with environmental compliance are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.  However, such costs could be material to results of operations in a particular future quarter or year.

Environmental protection is further discussed in the Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Notes to Financial Statements.

EMPLOYMENT

At the end of 2004, the Company employed approximately 54,800 full time equivalent people, of whom approximately 29,200 full time equivalents were employed in the U.S.  The actual number of employees may be greater because some individuals work part time.

The current employment amounts are expected to decline significantly (before acquisitions) over the next few years as a result of the headcount reductions yet to be made under the 2004-2006 cost reduction program, which contemplated a 25 percent reduction in headcount below 2003 levels.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On March 8, 2004, the Company filed a complaint against Sony Corporation in federal district court in Rochester, New York, for digital camera patent infringement.  Several weeks later, on March 31, 2004, Sony sued the Company for digital camera patent infringement in federal district court in Newark, New Jersey.  Sony subsequently filed a second lawsuit against the Company in Newark, New Jersey, alleging infringement of a variety of other Sony patents.  The Company filed a counterclaim in the New Jersey action, asserting infringement by Sony of the Company’s kiosk patents.  The Company successfully moved to transfer Sony’s New Jersey digital camera patent infringement case to Rochester, New York, and the two digital camera patent infringement cases are now consolidated for purposes of discovery.  Based on the current discovery schedule, the Company expects that claims construction hearings in the digital camera cases will take place in 2006.  Both the Company and Sony Corporation seek unspecified damages and other relief.

On October 7, 2004, the Company and Sun Microsystems Inc. reached a tentative agreement to settle a lawsuit filed by Kodak on February 11, 2002 in Federal District Court, Western District of New York, for infringement of three Kodak patents covering a software architecture used in Sun’s Java product.  The settlement followed an October 1, 2004 verdict in which a federal court jury found that the Kodak patents in issue were valid, that Sun infringed the patents, and that Sun’s affirmative defense was without merit.

On October 12, 2004, a final settlement agreement was signed.  Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, Sun paid Kodak $92 million in cash on October 12, 2004.

Kodak provided to Sun a non-exclusive license under the Kodak patents at issue.  In addition, Kodak licensed to Sun certain other Kodak patents for existing and future versions of Sun’s Java technology.  The other licensed Kodak patents are limited to those Kodak patents infringed on October 12, 2004 by the current version of Sun’s Java technology. 

Kodak also released Sun from any past infringement of Kodak’s patents by the Java technology. 

The license and the release relative to Java technology extend to Sun’s licensees, customers, developers, suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors.

Sun released Kodak from all counterclaims that it had asserted in the litigation.  

The case was dismissed with prejudice.  


PAGE 13

In February 2005, Kodak and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“DEC”) negotiated a multimedia Order on Consent in settlement of the following activities by Kodak at its Kodak Park facility in Rochester, New York: (i) all alleged violations of the Clean Water Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (hazardous waste program); (ii) unauthorized spills and releases under the New York Navigation Law and the Chemical Bulk Storage Program reported to or discovered by the DEC through September 30, 2004; and (iii) deviations or violations under the Clean Air Act reported to the DEC through June 30, 2004 (based on the semi-annual reporting cycle).  Kodak completely settled this order of consent for $140,000.  Kodak paid $100,000  to the DEC in February 2005.  The remaining $40,000 will be paid to the Audubon Society during 2005 to fund, as an Environmental Benefit Project, a Birds-of-Prey Satellite Telemetry Program designed to support, and stimulate public interest in, the resident peregrine falcon and active bald eagle programs in the Rochester, New York area.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements contain information that is pertinent to management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

The Company believes that the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed below involve the most complex management judgments due to the sensitivity of the methods and assumptions necessary in determining the related asset, liability, revenue and expense amounts.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Kodak recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned.  For the sale of multiple-element arrangements whereby equipment is combined with services, including maintenance and training, and other elements, including software and products, the Company allocates to, and recognizes revenue from, the various elements based on verifiable objective evidence of fair value (if software is not included or is incidental to the transaction) or Kodak-specific objective evidence of fair value if software is included and is other than incidental to the sales transaction as a whole.  For full service solutions sales, which consist of the sale of equipment and software which may or may not require significant production, modification or customization, there are two acceptable methods of accounting: percentage of completion accounting and completed contract accounting.  For certain of the Company’s full service solutions, the completed contract method of accounting is being followed by the Company.  This is due to insufficient historical experience resulting in the inability to provide reasonably dependable estimates of the revenues and costs applicable to the various stages of such contracts as would be necessary under the percentage of completion methodology.  When the Company does have sufficient historical experience and the ability to provide reasonably dependable estimates of the revenues and the costs applicable to the various stages of these contracts, the Company will account for these full service solutions under the percentage of completion methodology.

At the time revenue is recognized, the Company also records reductions to revenue for customer incentive programs in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given from a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products).”  Such incentive programs include cash and volume discounts, price protection, promotional, cooperative and other advertising allowances, and coupons.  For those incentives that require the estimation of sales volumes or redemption rates, such as for volume rebates or coupons, the Company uses historical experience and internal and customer data to estimate the sales incentive at the time revenue is recognized.  In the event that the actual results of these items differ from the estimates, adjustments to the sales incentive accruals would be recorded.  

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

The Company records and maintains a provision for doubtful accounts for customers based on a variety of factors including the Company’s historical experience, the length of time the receivable has been outstanding and the financial condition of the customer.  In addition, Kodak regularly analyzes its customer accounts and, when it becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s overall financial condition, records a specific provision for uncollectible accounts to increase the allowance to the amount that is estimated to be uncollectible.  If circumstances related to specific customers were to change, the Company’s estimates with respect to the collectibility of the related receivables could be further adjusted.  However, losses in the aggregate have not exceeded management’s expectations.

Kodak reduces the carrying value of its inventory based on estimates of what is excess, slow-moving and obsolete, as well as inventory whose carrying value is in excess of net realizable value.  These write-downs are based on current assessments about future demands, market conditions and related management initiatives.  If, in the future, the Company determined that market conditions and actual demands are less favorable than those projected and, therefore, inventory was overvalued, the Company would be required to further reduce the carrying value of the inventory and record a charge to earnings at the time such determination was made.  If, in the future, the Company determined that inventory write-downs were overstated and, therefore, inventory was undervalued, the Company would recognize the increase to earnings through higher gross profit at the time the related undervalued inventory was sold.  However, actual results have not differed materially from management’s estimates.

VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS, INCLUDING GOODWILL AND PURCHASED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including goodwill and purchased intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets, other than goodwill and purchased intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, by first grouping its long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with and expected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group.  The Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group.  If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge to the extent the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.  The Company determines fair value through quoted market prices in active markets or, if quoted market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analyses of discounted cash flows or external appraisals.  The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on a number of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group, discount rate and long-term growth rate.

To assess goodwill for impairment, the Company performs an assessment of the carrying value of its reporting units on an annual basis or when events and changes in circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company’s reporting units below their carrying value.  If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company would record an impairment charge to earnings to the extent the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.  The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units through internal analyses and external valuations, which utilize income and market valuation approaches through the application of capitalized earnings, discounted cash flow and market comparable methods.  These valuation techniques are based on a number of estimates and assumptions, including the projected future operating results of the reporting unit, discount rate, long-term growth rate and appropriate market comparables.

The Company’s assessments of impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill and purchased intangible assets, and its periodic review of the remaining useful lives of its long-lived assets are an integral part of the Company’s ongoing strategic review of the business and operations, and are also performed in conjunction with the Company’s periodic restructuring actions.  Therefore, future changes in the Company’s strategy, the ongoing digital substitution, the continuing shift from overnight photofinishing to onsite processing and other changes in the operations of the Company could impact the projected future operating results that are inherent in the Company’s estimates of fair value, resulting in impairments in the future.  Additionally, other changes in the estimates and assumptions, including the discount rate and expected long-term growth rate, which drive the valuation techniques employed to estimate the fair value of long-lived assets and goodwill could change and, therefore, impact the assessments of impairment in the future.

In performing the annual assessment of goodwill for impairment, the Company determined that no material reporting units’ carrying values were close to exceeding their respective fair values.  See “Goodwill” under Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies.”

INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY SECURITIES

Kodak holds minority interests in certain publicly traded and privately held companies having operations or technology within its strategic areas of focus.  The Company’s policy is to record an impairment charge on these investments when they experience declines in value that are considered to be other-than-temporary.  Poor operating results of the investees or adverse changes in market conditions in the future may cause losses or an inability of the Company to recover its carrying value in these underlying investments.  As of December 31, 2004, the amount related to the above investments recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position was $44 million. 

INCOME TAXES

The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  At December 31, 2004, the Company has deferred tax assets for its net operating loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $234 million and $189 million, respectively, relating to which the Company has a valuation allowance of $131 million and $0 million, respectively.  The Company has considered future market growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable income, the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for these valuation allowances.  If Kodak were to determine that it would not be able to realize a portion of its net deferred tax asset in the future for which there is currently no valuation allowance, an adjustment to the net deferred tax assets would be charged to earnings in the period such determination was made.  Conversely, if the Company were to make a determination that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets for which there is currently a valuation allowance would be realized, the related valuation allowance would be reduced and a benefit to earnings would be recorded.

The Company’s effective tax rate considers the impact of undistributed earnings of subsidiary companies outside of the U.S.  Deferred taxes have not been provided for the potential remittance of such undistributed earnings, as it is the Company’s policy to permanently reinvest its retained earnings.  However, from time to time and to the extent that the Company can repatriate overseas earnings on essentially a tax-free basis, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries will pay dividends to the U.S.  Material changes in the Company’s working capital and long-term investment requirements could impact the decisions made by management with respect to the level and source of future remittances and, as a result, the Company’s effective tax rate.  See Note 15, “Income Taxes.”

The Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions worldwide and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions.  These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time for resolution.  Although management believes that adequate provision has been made for such issues, there is the possibility that the ultimate resolution of such issues could have an adverse effect on the earnings of the Company.  Conversely, if these issues are resolved favorably in the future, the related provisions would be reduced, thus having a positive impact on earnings.

WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS

Management estimates expected product failure rates, material usage and service costs in the development of its warranty obligations.  At the time revenue is recognized, the Company provides for the estimated costs of its warranties as a reduction of revenue.  Actual results have not differed materially from management’s estimates.  In the event that the actual results of these items differ from the estimates, an adjustment to the warranty obligation would be recorded.


PAGE 23

PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Kodak’s defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit costs and obligations are dependent on assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts.  These assumptions, which are reviewed annually by the Company, include the discount rate, long-term expected rate of return on plan assets, salary growth, healthcare cost trend rate and other economic and demographic factors.  The Company bases the discount rate assumption for its significant plans on the estimated rate at which annuity contracts could be purchased to discharge the pension benefit obligation.  In estimating that rate, the Company looks to the AA-rated corporate long-term bond yield rate in the respective country as of the last day of the year in the Company’s reporting period as a guide.  The long-term expected rate of return on plan assets is based on a combination of formal asset and liability studies, historical results of the portfolio, and management’s expectation as to future returns that are expected to be realized over the estimated remaining life of the plan liabilities that will be funded with the plan assets.  The salary growth assumptions are determined based on the Company’s long-term actual experience and future and near-term outlook.  The healthcare cost trend rate assumptions are based on historical cost and payment data, the near-term outlook, and an assessment of the likely long-term trends.

The Company reviews its expected long-term rate of return on plan asset (EROA) assumption annually for the Kodak Retirement Income Plan (KRIP).  To facilitate this review, every three years, or when market conditions change materially, the Company undertakes a new asset and liability study to reaffirm the current asset allocation and the related EROA assumption.  The Company’s investment consulting firm completed a study (the Study) in September 2002, which led to several asset allocation shifts and a decrease in the EROA from 9.5% for the year ended December 31, 2002 to 9.0% for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004.  In March 2005, a new asset and liability modeling study has been completed and the EROA for 2005 will remain at 9.0%.  Given the decrease in the discount rate of 25 basis points from 6.0% for 2004 to 5.75% for 2005 and increased recognition of unrecognized losses in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions,” total pension income from continuing operations for the major funded and unfunded defined benefit plans in the U.S. is expected to decrease from $3 million in 2004 to reflect an expense of $1 million in 2005. Pension expense from continuing operations in the Company’s non-U.S. plans is projected to increase from $98 million in 2004 to $104 million in 2005.  Additionally, due in part to the decrease in the discount rate from 6.0% for 2004 to 5.75% for 2005 and increased amortization expense relating to the unrecognized actuarial loss, the Company expects the cost of its most significant postretirement benefit plan, the U.S. plan, to approximate $200 million in 2005, as compared with $103 million and $238 million for 2004 and 2003, respectively.  These estimates have been incorporated into the Company’s earnings outlook for 2005.

Actual results that differ from our assumptions are recorded as unrecognized gains and losses and are amortized to earnings over the estimated future service period of the plan participants to the extent such total net recognized gains and losses exceed 10% of the greater of the plan’s projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of assets.  Significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in future assumptions would affect the Company’s pension and postretirement benefit costs and obligations.

In accordance with the guidance under SFAS No. 87, the Company is required to record an additional minimum pension liability in its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position that is at least equal to the unfunded accumulated benefit obligation of its defined benefit pension plans.  During 2004, due to the performance of the global equity markets, combined with decreasing discount rates in 2004, the Company increased its additional minimum pension liability for its major defined benefit plans by $90 million and recorded a corresponding charge to accumulated other comprehensive income (a component of shareholders’ equity) of $61 million, net of taxes of $29 million.  If the global equity markets’ performance improves and discount rates stabilize or improve in future periods, the Company may be in a position to reduce its additional minimum pension liability and reverse the corresponding charges to shareholders’ equity.  Conversely, if the global equity markets’ performance and discount rates continue to decline in future periods, the Company may be required to increase its additional minimum pension liability and record additional charges to shareholders’ equity.  To mitigate the increase in its additional minimum pension liability and additional charges to shareholders’ equity, the Company may elect to fund a particular plan or plans on a case-by-case basis. 


PAGE 24

ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENTS

Environmental liabilities are accrued based on estimates of known environmental remediation exposures.  The liabilities include accruals for sites owned by Kodak, sites formerly owned by Kodak, and other third party sites where Kodak was designated as a potentially responsible party (PRP).  The amounts accrued for such sites are based on these estimates, which are determined using the ASTM Standard E 2137-01, “Standard Guide for Estimating Monetary Costs and Liabilities for Environmental Matters.”  The overall method includes the use of a probabilistic model that forecasts a range of cost estimates for the remediation required at individual sites.  The Company’s estimate includes equipment and operating costs for remediation and long-term monitoring of the sites.  Such estimates may be affected by changing determinations of what constitutes an environmental liability or an acceptable level of remediation.  Kodak’s estimate of its environmental liabilities may also change if the proposals to regulatory agencies for desired methods and outcomes of remediation are viewed as not acceptable, or additional exposures are identified.  The Company has an ongoing monitoring and identification process to assess how activities, with respect to the known exposures, are progressing against the accrued cost estimates, as well as to identify other potential remediation sites that are presently unknown. 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for its employee stock incentive plans under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and the related interpretations under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation.”  Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net earnings for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.  On February 18, 2004, the Company announced that it would begin expensing stock options starting January 1, 2005 using the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”  In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, a new accounting standard that will require the expensing of stock options and affect the accounting for the Company’s restricted stock and stock appreciations rights as of the beginning of interim or annual reporting periods that begin after June 15, 2005.  Early adoption is permitted for all companies; consequently, on January 1, 2005, the Company early adopted the stock option expensing rules of the new standard.   

KODAK OPERATING MODEL AND REPORTING STRUCTURE

The Company has four reportable segments: Digital & Film Imaging Systems (D&FIS), Health, Commercial Imaging, and Graphic Communications.  The balance of the Company’s operations, which individually and in the aggregate do not meet the criteria of a reportable segment, are reported in All Other.  A description of the segments is as follows:  

Digital & Film Imaging Systems Segment:  The D&FIS segment derives revenues from consumer film products, sales of origination and print film to the entertainment industry, sales of professional film products, thermal, traditional and inkjet photo paper, chemicals, traditional and digital cameras, digital printers, photoprocessing equipment and services, and digitization services, including online services. 

Health Segment:  The Health segment derives revenues from the sale of digital products, including laser imagers, media, computed and direct radiography equipment and healthcare information systems, as well as traditional medical products, including analog film, equipment, chemistry, services and specialty products for the mammography, oncology and dental fields. 

Commercial Imaging Segment:  The Commercial Imaging segment is composed of document imaging products and services, commercial and government systems products and services, and optics.  The Remote Sensing Systems business, which was sold to ITT Industries in August 2004, is accounted for as a discontinued operation in prior periods and the current period up through the date of sale. 


PAGE 25

Graphic Communications Segment:  The Graphic Communications segment is composed of the Company’s equity investments in Kodak Polychrome Graphics (Kodak’s 50/50 joint venture with Sun Chemical) and NexPress (Kodak’s 50/50 joint venture with Heidelberg) prior to its acquisition in May 2004, and the graphics and wide-format inkjet businesses.  This segment also includes the results of Scitex Digital Printing, which was acquired in January 2004 and has since been renamed Kodak Versamark, as well as the results of the NexPress-related entities subsequent to the acquisition in May 2004. 

All Other:  All Other is composed of Kodak’s display and components business for image sensors and other small, miscellaneous businesses.  It also includes development initiatives in consumer inkjet technologies.

2004 COMPARED WITH 2003
(2003 Restated)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUING OPERATIONS

CONSOLIDATED

Worldwide Revenues

Net worldwide sales were $13,517 million for 2004 as compared with $12,909 million for 2003, representing an increase of $608 million, or 5% as reported, or an increase of 1% excluding the favorable impact from exchange.  The increase in net sales was primarily due to increased volumes, acquisitions and favorable exchange, which increased sales for 2004 by 0.8, 4.3 and 3.3 percentage points, respectively.  The increase in volumes was primarily driven by consumer digital cameras, printer dock products, and the picture maker kiosk portion of the consumer output SPG in the Digital & Film Imaging Systems (D&FIS) segment, digital products in the Health segment, partially offset by decreased volumes for traditional consumer film products.  Favorable exchange resulted from an increased level of sales in non-U.S. countries as the U.S. dollar weakened throughout 2004 in relation to most foreign currencies.  In addition, the acquisition of PracticeWorks, Inc. (PracticeWorks), Versamark, Laser-Pacific and the NexPress-related entities accounted for an additional 4.3 percentage points of the increase in net sales.  These increases were partially offset by decreases attributable to price/mix, which reduced sales for 2004 by approximately 3.5 percentage points.  These decreases were driven primarily by price/mix declines in traditional products and services, and consumer digital cameras in the D&FIS segment and film capture and output products in the Health segment.

Net sales in the U.S. were $5,658 million for the current year as compared with $5,421 million for the prior year, representing an increase of $237 million, or 4%.  Net sales outside the U.S. were $7,859 million for the current year as compared with $7,488 million for the prior year, representing an increase of $371 million, or 5% as reported, or a decrease of 1% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.

Traditional Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

Net sales of the Company’s traditional products were $8,191 million for the current period as compared with $9,156 million for the prior year period, representing a decrease of $965 million, or 11%, primarily driven by declines in the film capture SPG and the wholesale photofinishing portion of the consumer output SPG.

Foreign Revenues

The Company’s operations outside the U.S. are reported in three regions: (1) the Europe, Africa and Middle East region (EAMER), (2) the Asia Pacific region, and (3) the Canada and Latin America region.  Net sales in EAMER for 2004 were $4,041 million as compared with $3,880 million for 2003, representing an increase of 4% as reported, or a decrease of 3% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.  Net sales in the Asia Pacific region for 2004 were $2,546 million compared with $2,368 million for 2003, representing an increase of 8% as reported, or an increase of 3% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.  Net sales in the Canada and Latin America region for 2004 were $1,272 million as compared with $1,240 million for 2003, representing an increase of 3% as reported, or an increase of 1% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.

The Company’s major emerging markets include China, Brazil, Mexico, India, Russia, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan.  Net sales in emerging markets were $2,878 million for 2004 as compared with $2,591 million for 2003, representing an increase of $287 million, or 11% as reported, or an increase of 10% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.  The emerging market portfolio accounted for approximately 21% and 37% of the Company’s worldwide and foreign sales, respectively, in 2004.   

Sales growth in China, India, Russia and Brazil of 28%, 9%, 7% and 6%, respectively, were the primary drivers of the increase in emerging market sales, partially offset by decreased sales in Hong Kong of 9%.  Sales growth in China resulted from strong business performance for Kodak’s Health, Graphic Communications and entertainment imaging products and services in 2004 as compared with 2003, when the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) situation negatively impacted operations in that country, particularly for consumer and professional products and services. 

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $3,969 million for 2004 as compared with $4,175 million for 2003, representing a decrease of $206 million, or 5%.  The gross profit margin was 29.4% in the current year as compared with 32.3% in the prior year.  The decrease of 2.9 percentage points was attributable to declines in price/mix, which reduced gross profit margins by approximately 4.2 percentage points.  This decrease was driven primarily by price/mix declines in traditional consumer film products, photofinishing, consumer digital cameras, and entertainment print films in the D&FIS segment, analog medical film and digital capture equipment in the Health segment, and graphic arts products in the Graphic Communications segment.  The decline in price/mix was partially offset by favorable exchange, which increased gross margins by approximately 0.5 percentage points, and decreases in manufacturing cost, which favorably impacted gross profit margins by approximately 0.4 percentage points year-over-year primarily due to reduced labor expense.  The acquisition of PracticeWorks, Versamark and the NexPress-related entities favorably impacted gross profit margin by 0.4 percentage points.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $2,507 million for 2004 as compared with $2,618 million for 2003, representing a decrease of $111 million, or 4%.  SG&A decreased as a percentage of sales from 20% for the prior year to 19% for the current year.  The net decrease in SG&A is primarily attributable to cost savings in the current year period realized from position eliminations resulting from focused cost reduction programs, a decrease in advertising expense of $83 million compared with the prior year, and $58 million in one-time charges incurred in 2003 relating to four legal settlements, an asset impairment, a strategic investment write-down, and a technology contribution, offset by the reversal of an environmental reserve.  Such charges amounted to approximately $6 million in the current year.  These decreases were partially offset by unfavorable exchange of $69 million and SG&A expense of acquisitions of $192 million.


PAGE 30

Research and Development Costs

Research and development (R&D) costs were $854 million for 2004 as compared with $776 million for 2003, representing an increase of $78 million, or 10%.  The increase in R&D is primarily due to increased spending to drive growth in digital product areas as well as acquisition-related R&D, partially offset by reductions in spending on traditional products.  Write-offs for in-process R&D associated with acquisitions made in the current year were $15 million compared with $31 million in the prior year.  As a percentage of sales, R&D costs remained flat at 6% for both the current and prior years.

Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations Before Interest, Other Income (Charges), Net and Income Taxes

Losses from continuing operations before interest, other income (charges), net, and income taxes for 2004 were $87 million as compared with earnings of $302 million for 2003, representing a decrease of $389 million, or 129%.  The decrease is primarily attributable to the reasons described above.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for 2004 was $168 million as compared with $147 million for 2003, representing an increase of $21 million, or 14%.  The increase in interest expense is almost entirely attributable to higher average interest rates resulting from the replacement of commercial paper debt with the Senior Notes and Convertible Senior Notes issued in October 2003.

Other Income (Charges), Net

The other income (charges), net component includes investment income, income and losses from equity investments, gains and losses on foreign exchange and on the sales of assets and investments, and other miscellaneous income and expense items.  Other income for the current year was $161 million as compared with a net charge of $51 million for 2003.  The increase in income is primarily attributable to the proceeds from two favorable legal settlements, increased income from the Company’s equity investment in Kodak Polychrome Graphics, and in the prior year, the NexPress investments were accounted for under the equity method and included in other income (charges), net.  As a result of the Company’s purchase of the Heidelberg’s 50 percent interest in the NexPress joint venture, which closed in May 2004, NexPress is consolidated in the Company’s Statement of Earnings for the remaining portion of the year and included in the Graphic Communications segment.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit)

The Company’s effective tax benefit from continuing operations was $175 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, representing an effective tax rate benefit from continuing operations of 186%. The effective tax rate benefit from continuing operations of 186% differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to earnings from operations in certain lower-taxed jurisdictions outside the U.S., coupled with losses incurred in certain jurisdictions that are benefited at a rate equal to or greater than the U.S. federal income tax rate.   

The Company’s effective tax rate benefit from continuing operations was $85 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, representing an effective tax rate benefit from continuing operations of 82%, despite the fact that the Company had positive earnings from continuing operations before income taxes.  The effective tax rate benefit from continuing operations of 82% differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to earnings from operations in certain lower-taxed jurisdictions outside the U.S., coupled with losses incurred in certain jurisdictions that are benefited at a rate equal to or greater than the U.S. federal income tax rate.   


PAGE 31

Excluding the effect of discrete period items, the effective tax rate from continuing operations was 18% and 15.5% in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase from 15.5% in 2003 to 18% in 2004 is primarily due to an increase in interest expense on tax reserves and an increase in valuation allowances.

Earnings From Continuing Operations

Net earnings from continuing operations for 2004 were $81 million, or $.28 per basic and diluted share, as compared with net earnings from continuing operations for 2003 of $189 million, or $.66 per basic and diluted share, representing a decrease of $108 million, or 57%.  The decrease in net earnings from continuing operations is primarily attributable to the reasons outlined above.

DIGITAL & FILM IMAGING SYSTEMS

Worldwide Revenues

Net worldwide sales for the D&FIS segment were $9,186 million for 2004 as compared with $9,248 million for 2003, representing a decrease of $62 million, or a decrease of 1% as reported, or a decrease of 4% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.  Approximately 4.1 percentage points of the decrease in net sales was attributable to price/mix declines driven primarily by declines in traditional film products as well as consumer digital cameras and inkjet media.  This decrease was partially offset by favorable exchange, which increased revenues by approximately 3.2 percentage points.

D&FIS segment net sales in the U.S. were $3,823 million for the current year as compared with $3,828 million for the prior year, representing a decrease of $5 million.  D&FIS segment net sales outside the U.S. were $5,363 million for the current year as compared with $5,420 million for the prior year, representing a decrease of $57 million, or 1% as reported, or a decrease of 6% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.

Digital Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

D&FIS segment digital product sales were $2,677 million for the current year as compared with $1,802 million for the prior year, representing an increase of $875 million, or 49%, primarily driven by the consumer digital capture SPG.  Net worldwide sales of consumer digital capture products, which include consumer digital cameras, accessories, memory products, and royalties, increased 61% in 2004 as compared with 2003, primarily reflecting strong volume increases and favorable exchange, partially offset by negative price/mix.  Sales continue to be driven by strong consumer acceptance of the EasyShare digital camera system and the success of new digital camera product introductions during the current year. 

The Company gained worldwide digital camera unit market share when compared with the prior year.  According to market research firm IDC’s full year 2004 digital camera study, Kodak leads the industry in the U.S. with a 21.9 percent market share.  Digital camera market share has also improved internationally, giving Kodak the number one market share in Australia, Argentina, Peru and Chile as well as putting it among the top three positions in Germany, United Kingdom, Mexico and Brazil. 

Net worldwide sales of picture maker kiosks and related media increased 58% in 2004 as compared with 2003, primarily due to strong volume increases and favorable exchange.  Sales continue to be driven by strong market acceptance of Kodak’s new generation of kiosks as well as an increase in consumer demand for digital printing at retail. 

Net worldwide sales from the home printing solutions SPG, which includes inkjet photo paper and printer docks/media, increased 47% in the current year as compared with the prior year.  For inkjet paper, 2004 was marked by increased competition from store brands and the mix shift associated with consumer’s preference for smaller format papers.  Kodak’s printer dock products continued to experience strong sales growth during 2004.


PAGE 32

Traditional Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

D&FIS segment traditional product sales were $6,509 million for the current year as compared with $7,446 million for the prior year, representing a decrease of $937 million, or 13%, primarily driven by declines in the film capture SPG and the consumer output SPG.  Net worldwide sales of the film capture SPG, including consumer roll film (35mm film and Advantix film), one-time-use cameras (OTUC), professional films, reloadable traditional film cameras and batteries/videotape, decreased 16% in 2004 as compared with 2003, primarily reflecting volume declines and negative price/mix experienced for all significant film capture product categories.  These declines were partially offset by favorable exchange. 

U.S. consumer film industry sell-through volumes decreased approximately 18% in 2004 as compared with 2003.  Kodak’s sell-in consumer film volumes declined 21% as compared with the prior year, reflecting a decrease in U.S. retailers’ inventories. 

As previously announced, the Company’s current estimate of worldwide consumer film industry volumes for 2005 could decline as much as 20%, with U.S. volumes declining as much as 30%.

Net worldwide sales for the retail photofinishing SPG, which includes color negative paper, equipment and services, chemistry, and photofinishing services at retail, decreased 6% in 2004 as compared with 2003, primarily reflecting lower volumes of Qualex retail photofinishing services, partially offset by favorable exchange. 

Net worldwide sales for the wholesale photofinishing SPG, which includes color negative paper, equipment, chemistry, and photofinishing services at Qualex in the U.S. and Consumer Imaging Services (CIS) outside the U.S., decreased 31% in 2004 as compared with 2003, primarily reflecting lower volumes, partially offset by favorable exchange.  The lower volumes reflect the effects of digital replacement.  

Net worldwide sales for the entertainment films SPG, including origination and print films to the entertainment industry increased 12% in 2004 as compared with 2003, reflecting volume increases and favorable exchange that was partially offset by negative price/mix.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the D&FIS segment was $2,612 million for 2004 as compared with $2,864 million for 2003, representing a decrease of $252 million or 9%.  The gross profit margin was 28.4% in the current year as compared with 31.0% in the prior year.  The 2.6 percentage point decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in price/mix that impacted gross profit margins by approximately 5.3 percentage points, partially offset by manufacturing cost improvements, which favorably impacted gross margins by approximately 2.4 percentage points.  The decrease in price/mix was primarily due to the impact of digital substitution, resulting in a decrease in sales of higher margin traditional products, the impact of which was only partially offset by increased sales of lower margin digital products. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses for the D&FIS segment were $1,665 million for 2004 as compared with $1,967 million for 2003, representing a decrease of $302 million or 15%.  The net decrease in SG&A spending is primarily attributable to cost savings realized from position eliminations associated with ongoing focused cost reduction programs and reductions in advertising expense, partially offset by unfavorable exchange of $50 million.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A expense decreased from 21% in the prior year to 18% in the current year.


PAGE 33

Research and Development Costs

R&D costs for the D&FIS segment decreased $113 million or 23% from $481 million in 2003 to $368 million in 2004.  As a percentage of sales, R&D costs decreased from 5% in the prior year to 4% in the current year.  The decrease in R&D is primarily due to a decline in spending related to consumer and professional imaging traditional products and services.  In addition, the decline was partly attributable to a $21 million write-off for purchased in-process R&D in 2003, with no such charge incurred in the current year. 

Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations Before Interest, Other Income (Charges), Net and Income Taxes

Earnings from continuing operations before interest, other income (charges), net, and income taxes for the D&FIS segment increased $164 million, or 39%, from $416 million in 2003 to $580 million in 2004, primarily as a result of the factors described above.

HEALTH

On October 7, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of PracticeWorks, Inc., a leading provider of dental practice management software.  As part of this transaction, Kodak also acquired 100% of PracticeWorks’ Paris-based subsidiary, Trophy Radiologie, S.A., a developer and manufacturer of dental digital radiographic equipment, which PracticeWorks purchased in December 2002.  The acquisition of PracticeWorks and Trophy was expected to contribute approximately $200 million in sales to the Health segment during the first full year.  Full year 2004 net sales for PracticeWorks (acquired in October 2003) were $212 million, which resulted in incremental net sales of $164 million for the Health segment.   

It is anticipated that this transaction will be slightly dilutive to earnings from the date of acquisition through the end of 2005 and accretive to earnings thereafter.  This acquisition enables Kodak to offer its customers a full spectrum of dental imaging products and services from traditional film to digital radiography and photography, and moved the Health segment into the leading position in the dental practice management and dental digital radiographic markets. 

Worldwide Revenues

Net worldwide sales for the Health segment were $2,686 million for 2004 as compared with $2,431 million for 2003, representing an increase of $255 million, or 10% as reported, or an increase of 7% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.  The increase in sales was comprised of: (1) an increase from favorable exchange of approximately 3.5 percentage points, (2) the acquisition of PracticeWorks Inc. in October 2003, which accounted for approximately 5.4 percentage points of the sales increase, and (3) an increase in volume of approximately 4.1 percentage points, driven primarily by volume increases in digital products.  These increases were partially offset by declines in price/mix of approximately 3.1 percentage points, which were related to both digital and traditional products.

Net sales in the U.S. were $1,114 million for the current year as compared with $1,061 for the prior year, representing an increase of $53 million, or 5%.  Net sales outside the U.S. were $1,572 million for 2004 as compared with $1,370 million for 2003, representing an increase of $202 million, or 15% as reported, or an increase of 8% excluding the favorable impact of exchange. 

Digital Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

Health segment digital sales, which include laser printers (DryView imagers and wet laser printers), digital media (DryView and wet laser media), digital capture equipment (computed radiography capture equipment and digital radiography equipment), services, dental practice management software and Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS), were $1,719 for the current year compared with $1,438 million for 2003, representing an increase of $281 million, or 20%. The increase in digital product sales was primarily attributable to the PracticeWorks acquisition and higher volumes of digital capture equipment, digital media and services.


PAGE 34

Traditional Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

Health segment traditional product sales, including analog film, equipment, chemistry and services, were $967 million for the current year as compared with $993 million for 2003, representing a decrease of $26 million or 3%, with the decrease mainly attributable to decreases in volume and negative price/mix from analog medical film, partially offset by favorable exchange.  

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the Health segment was $1,129 million for 2004 as compared with $1,045 million for 2003, representing an increase of $84 million, or 8%.  The gross profit margin was 42.0% in 2004 as compared with 43.0% in 2003.  The decrease in the gross profit margin of 1.0 percentage points was primarily attributable to: (1) price/mix which negatively impacted gross profit margins by 2.0 percentage points due to digital media, digital capture equipment and analog medical film, and (2) an increase in manufacturing cost, which decreased gross profit margins by 0.9 percentage points primarily due to increases in silver prices and petroleum based materials during the current year.  These decreases were partially offset by increases attributable to favorable exchange, which contributed approximately 0.8 percentage points to the gross profit margin, and the acquisition of PracticeWorks in the fourth quarter of 2003, which increased gross profit margins by approximately 1.1 percentage points for the current year.   

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses for the Health segment increased $95 million, or 24%, from $391 million for 2003 to $486 million for 2004.  Although the dollar increase in SG&A expenses was significant, the increase as a percent of sales was only 2.0 percentage points from 16% in 2003 to 18% in 2004.  The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to the acquisition of PracticeWorks, which accounted for $65 million of the increase in SG&A expenses in 2004, increased spending on growth initiatives and the unfavorable impact of exchange, which accounted for $12 million of the increase.  

Research and Development Costs

R&D costs for the Health segment increased $30 million, or 17%, from $178 million in 2003 to $208 million in 2004, and increased as a percentage of sales from 7% in 2003 to 8% in 2004.  The increase is primarily attributable to increased spending to drive growth in selected areas of the product portfolio.

Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations Before Interest, Other Income (Charges), Net and Income Taxes

Earnings from continuing operations before interest, other income (charges), net, and income taxes for the Health segment decreased $41 million, or 9%, from $476 million for 2003 to $435 million for 2004 due primarily to the reasons described above. 

COMMERCIAL IMAGING

On February 9, 2004 Kodak announced its intention to sell the Remote Sensing Systems operation to ITT Industries for $725 million in cash.  This transaction closed during the third quarter of 2004.  The Remote Sensing Systems business was part of Kodak’s commercial and government systems operation.  The Commercial Imaging segment results for 2004 and 2003 exclude the financial performance of Kodak’s Remote Sensing Systems business, which is accounted for in discontinued operations.  Certain overhead costs that were previously allocated to the RSS business that were not eliminated as a result of the sale are still being reported within the Commercial Imaging segment up through the completion of the divestiture, as the Commercial Imaging segment managed the RSS business until the completion of the divestiture.  Subsequent overhead costs have been allocated to all of the existing segments. 


PAGE 35

Worldwide Revenues

Net worldwide sales for the Commercial Imaging segment were $803 million for 2004 as compared with $791 million for 2003, representing an increase of $12 million, or 2% as reported, or a decrease of 3% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.  The increase in net sales was primarily comprised of an increase of approximately 4.7 percentage points due to favorable exchange, which was partially offset by declines due to volume of approximately 3.1 percentage points, primarily driven by declines in the micrographics equipment and media SPG.

Net sales in the U.S. were $318 million for 2004 as compared with $334 million for 2003, representing a decrease of $16 million, or 5%.  Net sales outside the U.S. were $485 million in the current year as compared with $457 million in the prior year, representing an increase of $28 million, or 6%, or a decrease of 2% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.

Digital and Traditional Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

Commercial Imaging segment digital product sales were $384 million for the current year as compared with $367 million for 2003, representing an increase of $17 million, or 5%.  Segment traditional product sales were $419 million for the current year as compared with $424 million for 2003, representing a decrease of $5 million, or 1%.  The primary driver was an increase in sales from the aerial and industrial materials SPG and the imaging services SPG, offset by declines in the equipment and media SPG.  

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the Commercial Imaging segment for 2004 increased $4 million, or 1%, from $267 million for 2003 to $271 million for 2004.  The gross profit margin was 33.7% for 2004 as compared with 33.8% for 2003.  The decrease in the gross profit margin of 0.1 percentage points was attributable to an increase in manufacturing cost, which negatively impacted gross profit margins by approximately 0.2 percentage points, and unfavorable price/mix of 0.5 percentage points, partially offset by exchange, which favorably impacted gross profit margins by 0.8 percentage points. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses for the Commercial Imaging segment decreased $5 million, or 4%, from $135 million for 2003 to $130 million for 2004.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased from 17% for 2003 to 16% for 2004.  The decrease in SG&A expenses is primarily due to cost savings realized from ongoing focused cost reduction programs and reduced advertising costs, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of exchange.

Research and Development Costs

R&D costs for the Commercial Imaging segment decreased $10 million, or 43%, from $23 million for 2003 to $13 million for 2004.  As a percentage of sales, R&D costs decreased from 3% in 2003 to 2% in 2004. 

Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations Before Interest, Other Income (Charges), Net and Income Taxes

Earnings from continuing operations before interest, other income (charges), net, and income taxes for the Commercial Imaging segment increased $18 million, or 17%, from $109 million in 2003 to $127 million in 2004.  The increase in earnings from operations is primarily attributable to the reasons outlined above.

GRAPHIC COMMUNICATIONS

On May 1, 2004, Kodak completed the acquisition of the NexPress-related entities, which included the following:

-

Heidelberg’s 50% interest in NexPress Solutions LLC (Kodak and Heidelberg formed the NexPress 50/50 JV in 1997 to develop high quality, on-demand, digital color printing systems)

 

 

-

100% of the stock of Heidelberg Digital LLC (Hdi), a manufacturer of digital black & white printing systems

 

 

-

100% of the stock of NexPress GMBH – a R&D center located in Kiel, Germany

 

 

-

Certain sales and service employees, inventory and related assets and liabilities of Heidelberg’s sales and service units located throughout the world

There was no consideration paid to Heidelberg at closing.  Under the terms of the acquisition, Kodak and Heidelberg agreed to use a performance-based earn-out formula whereby Kodak will make periodic payments to Heidelberg over a two-year period, if certain sales goals are met.  If all sales goals are met during the two calendar years ending December 31, 2005, the Company will pay a maximum of $150 million in cash.  During the first calendar year, no amounts were paid. Additional payments may also be made relating to the incremental sales of certain products in excess of a stated minimum number of units sold during a five-year period following the closing of the transaction.  The acquisition is expected to become accretive by 2007.  During the eight months since closing, the NexPress-related entities contributed $177 million in sales to the Graphic Communications segment. 

On January 5, 2004, Kodak announced the completion of its acquisition of Scitex Digital Printing, the world leader in high-speed, variable data inkjet printing systems.  Kodak acquired the business for $239 million in net cash.  This acquisition was expected to contribute approximately $200 million to Graphic Communications segment sales in 2004.  Scitex Digital Printing now operates under the name Kodak Versamark, Inc.  During 2004, Kodak Versamark contributed $198 million in sales to the Graphic Communications segment.

Worldwide Revenues

Net worldwide sales for the Graphic Communications segment were $724 million for 2004 as compared with $346 million for 2003, representing an increase of $378 million, or 109% as reported, or 108% excluding the favorable impact from exchange.  The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Kodak Versamark and the NexPress-related entities, which contributed approximately $375 million in net sales to the Graphic Communications segment.

Net sales in the U.S. were $350 million for 2004 as compared with $156 million for 2003, representing an increase of $194 million, or 124%.  Net sales outside the U.S. were $374 million in the current year as compared with $190 million in the prior year, representing an increase of $184 million, or 97%, or 95% excluding the favorable impact from exchange.

Digital Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

Graphic Communications segment digital product sales, which are comprised of Kodak Versamark, the NexPress-related entities, and Encad, Inc. products and services, were $456 million for the current year as compared with $75 million for the prior year, representing an increase of $381 million, or 508%.  The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Versamark and the NexPress-related entities.

Kodak Versamark experienced strong sales performance driven by increased placements of color printing units in the transactional printing market coupled with a growing consumables business. 


PAGE 37

Traditional Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

Segment traditional product sales are limited to the sales of traditional graphics products to the KPG joint venture.  Net worldwide sales of graphic arts products to Kodak Polychrome Graphics (KPG), an unconsolidated joint venture affiliate in which the Company has a 50% ownership interest, of $268 million were consistent for the current year as compared with 2003 net sales of $271 million.  Increasing volumes were offset by negative price/mix primarily attributable to graphic arts products.   

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the Graphic Communications segment for 2004 increased $82 million, or 167%, from $49 million for 2003 to $131 million for 2004.  The gross profit margin was 18.1% for 2004 as compared with 14.2% for 2003.  The increase in the gross profit margin of 3.9 percentage points was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Kodak Versamark and the NexPress-related entities, which contributed 13.2 percentage points to gross profit margin for the current year period.  This is despite the fact that Kodak Versamark’s margins were negatively affected by the impact of the purchase accounting for the inventory that was acquired with Kodak Versamark at its fair value, which was sold during 2004.  This negative impact was partially offset by a positive impact of purchase accounting for the inventory that was acquired with the NexPress-related entities at its fair value.  Excluding the impact of purchase accounting, Kodak Versamark and the NexPress-related entities would have favorably impacted gross profit margins by approximately 14.3 percentage points during the current year period.  Partially offsetting the favorable impact of acquisitions were: (1) an increase in manufacturing cost, which negatively impacted gross profit margins by approximately 7.1 percentage points, primarily due to an increase in silver prices and additional costs incurred in relation to the relocation of manufacturing facilities for graphics products from Mexico to Great Britain and the U.S., (2) negative exchange, which reduced gross profit margins by approximately 0.9 percentage points, and (3) negative price/mix of 1.0 percentage points. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses for the Graphic Communications segment were $160 million for 2004 as compared with $37 million in the prior year, representing an increase of $123 million, or 332%, and increased as a percentage of sales from 11% in the prior year to 22% in the current year.  The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Kodak Versamark and the NexPress-related entities, which together accounted for $120 million of SG&A expenses in the current year period.

Research and Development Costs

R&D costs for the Graphic Communications segment increased $88 million, or 383%, from $23 million for 2003 to $111 million for the current year, and increased as a percentage of sales from 7% in the prior year to 15% in the current year.  The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Kodak Versamark and the NexPress-related entities, which together accounted for $90 million of R&D in the current period, and includes a $10 million charge for purchased in-process R&D associated with the Kodak Versamark and NexPress-related entities acquisition. 

Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations Before Interest, Other Income (Charges), Net and Income Taxes

Losses from continuing operations before interest, other income (charges), net, and income taxes for the Graphic Communications segment increased $129 million from losses of $11 million in 2003 to losses of $140 million in 2004.  This increase in losses is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the NexPress-related entities on May 1, 2004, the purchase of Scitex Digital Printing (renamed Kodak Versamark) on January 5, 2004, and the other factors described above.  As noted above, the NexPress-related entities are expected to become accretive by 2007, and Kodak Versamark is expected to be slightly dilutive through 2004 and accretive thereafter.

KPG’s earnings performance continued to improve on the strength of its leading position in digital printing plates and digital proofing, coupled with favorable operating expense management and foreign exchange.  The Company’s equity in the earnings of KPG contributed positive results to other income (charges), net during 2004.

On January 12, 2005, the Company announced that it had entered into a Redemption agreement with Sun Chemical Corporation (Sun Chemical) to purchase Sun Chemical’s 50 percent interest in Kodak Polychrome Graphics (KPG), a 50/50 joint venture of Kodak and Sun Chemical that was established in 1998.  KPG is one of the world’s leading suppliers of products and services to the graphic communications market, with operations in six continents and an extensive global sales force.  Under the terms of the transaction, Kodak will redeem all of Sun Chemical’s shares in KPG by providing $317 million in cash at closing, $200 million in cash in the third quarter of 2006 and $50 million in cash annually from 2008 through 2013, for a total of $817 million.  Kodak will fund the acquisition through internally generated cash flow.  This transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2005, will expand the Company’s global distribution network for Graphic Communications digital printing systems and broaden the Company’s solutions portfolio.  The Company expects this acquisition to incrementally increase revenue by approximately $1.1 billion in 2005 and be immediately accretive to earnings, adding approximately five cents to diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in 2005 and approximately 14 cents to diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in 2006. The Company completed its acquisition of KPG on April 1, 2005.

On January 31, 2005, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Creo Inc. (Creo) to acquire 100% of its outstanding shares.  Creo is based in Vancouver, Canada and is the world’s number one provider of workflow software used by printers to manage efficiently the movement of text, graphics and images from the computer screen to the printing press.  Under the terms of the agreement, Kodak will pay approximately $980 million in cash, or $16.50 per share, for all outstanding shares of Creo, on a fully diluted basis.  The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals, the approval of Creo’s shareholders and court approval.  The acquisition will provide Kodak with an innovative digital pre-press product portfolio and established relationships in the commercial printing segment, the largest market opportunity within the graphic communications industry.  This transaction also reinforces Graphic Communications status as a leading industry participant to provide customers with all of the products and services they need to be successful in a blended product environment, where digital, traditional and hybrid print jobs are converging.  This acquisition is expected to result in modest earnings dilution in 2005 and approximately $700 million in incremental revenue in 2006.  The impact on 2006 net earnings per share cannot be accurately estimated until the transaction is completed, but is expected to be accretive to earnings in 2006.

ALL OTHER

Worldwide Revenues

Net worldwide sales for All Other were $118 million for 2004 as compared with $93 million for 2003, representing an increase of $25 million, or 27%.  Net sales in the U.S. were $53 million in 2004 as compared with $42 million for 2003, representing an increase of $11 million, or 26%.   Net sales outside the U.S. were $65 million in the current year as compared with $51 million in the prior year, representing an increase of $14 million, or 27%.

Losses From Continuing Operations Before Interest, Other Income (Charges), Net and Income Taxes

Losses from continuing operations before interest, other income (charges), net, and income taxes for All Other increased $105 million from a loss of $77 million in 2003 to a loss of $182 million in 2004.  Increased levels of investment for the Company’s display business and consumer inkjet development activities primarily drove the increase in the loss from operations.


PAGE 39

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, for 2004 were $475 million, or $1.66 per basic and diluted share primarily relating to the sale of Kodak’s Remote Sensing Systems business, which contributed $466 million to earnings from discontinued operations, including the after-tax gain on the sale of $439 million.  The 2003 earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, were $64 million, or $.22 per basic and diluted share and reflects net of tax earnings of $27 million primarily related to reversals of tax and environmental reserves as well as $40 million of after-tax earnings from Kodak’s Remote Sensing Systems business.

NET EARNINGS

Net earnings for 2004 were $565 million, or $1.97 per basic and diluted share, as compared with net earnings for 2003 of $253 million, or $.88 per basic and diluted share, representing an increase of $312 million, or 123%.  This increase is primarily attributable to the reasons outlined above.

2003 COMPARED WITH 2002
(2003 Restated)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUING OPERATIONS

CONSOLIDATED

Worldwide Revenues

Net worldwide sales were $12,909 million for 2003 as compared with $12,549 million for 2002, representing an increase of $360 million, or 3% as reported, or a decrease of 2% excluding the favorable impact from exchange.  The increase in net sales was primarily due to increased volumes and favorable exchange, which increased sales for 2003 by 1.4 and 5.5 percentage points, respectively.  The increase in volumes was primarily driven by consumer digital cameras, printer dock products, inkjet media and entertainment print films in the Digital & Film Imaging Systems (D&FIS) segment, digital products in the Health segment, partially offset by decreased volumes for traditional consumer film products.  Favorable exchange resulted from an increased level of sales in non-U.S. countries as the U.S. dollar weakened throughout 2003 in relation to most foreign currencies, particularly the Euro.  In addition, the acquisition of PracticeWorks, Inc. (PracticeWorks) in the fourth quarter of 2003 accounted for an additional 0.4 percentage points of the increase in net sales.  These increases were partially offset by decreases attributable to price/mix, which reduced sales for 2003 by approximately 4.2 percentage points.  These decreases were driven primarily by price/mix declines in traditional products and services, and consumer digital cameras in the D&FIS segment, film and laser imaging systems in the Health segment, and graphic arts products in the Graphic Communications segment.   

Net sales in the U.S. were $5,421 million for 2003 as compared with $5,707 million for 2002, representing a decrease of $286 million, or 5%.  Net sales outside the U.S. were $7,488 million for 2003 as compared with $6,842 million for 2002, representing an increase of $646 million, or 9% as reported, or no change excluding the favorable impact of exchange.

Digital Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

The Company’s digital product sales, excluding New Technologies product sales, were $3,736 million for 2003 as compared with $2,963 million for 2002, representing an increase of $773 million, or 26%, primarily driven by the consumer digital capture SPG, the home printing SPG, and the digital capture and applications SPG of the Health segment. 


PAGE 40

Traditional Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

Net sales of the Company’s traditional products were $9,156 million for 2003 as compared with $9,564 million for 2002, representing a decrease of $408 million, or 4%, primarily driven by declines in the film capture SPG and the consumer output SPG.

Foreign Revenues

The Company’s operations outside the U.S. are reported in three regions: (1) the Europe, Africa and Middle East region (EAMER), (2) the Asia Pacific region, and (3) the Canada and Latin America region.  Net sales in EAMER for 2003 were $3,880 million as compared with $3,484 million for 2002, representing an increase of 11% as reported, or a decrease of 2% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.  Net sales in the Asia Pacific region for 2003 were $2,368 million compared with $2,240 million for 2002, representing an increase of 6% as reported, or a decrease of 1% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.  Net sales in the Canada and Latin America region for 2003 were $1,240 million as compared with $1,118 million for 2002, representing an increase of 11% as reported, or an increase of 5% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.

The Company’s major emerging markets include China, Brazil, Mexico, India, Russia, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan.  Net sales in emerging markets were $2,591 million for 2003 as compared with $2,425 million for 2002, representing an increase of $166 million, or 7% as reported, or an increase of 4% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.  The emerging market portfolio accounted for approximately 20% and 35% of the Company’s worldwide and non-U.S. sales, respectively, in 2003.   

Sales growth in Russia, India and China of 26%, 17% and 12%, respectively, were the primary drivers of the increase in emerging market sales, partially offset by decreased sales in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Brazil of 19%, 10% and 7%, respectively.  The increase in sales in Russia was a result of continued growth in the number of Kodak Express stores, which represent independently owned photo specialty retail outlets, and the Company’s efforts to expand the distribution channels for Kodak products and services.  Sales increases in India were driven by the continued success from the Company’s efforts to increase the level of camera ownership and from the continued success of independently owned Photoshop retail stores.  Sales growth in China resulted from strong business performance for all Kodak’s operations in that region in the first, third and fourth quarters of 2003; however, this growth was partially offset by the impact of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) situation, particularly for consumer and professional products and services, which negatively impacted sales in China during the second quarter.  The sales declines experienced in Hong Kong and Taiwan during 2003 are also a result of the impact of SARS.  The sales decline in Brazil is reflective of the continued economic weakness experienced there. 

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $4,175 million for 2003 as compared with $4,527 million for 2002, representing a decrease of $352 million, or 8%.  The gross profit margin was 32.3% in 2003 as compared with 36.1% in 2002.  The decrease of 3.8 percentage points was attributable to declines in price/mix, which reduced gross profit margins by approximately 5.1 percentage points.  This decrease was driven primarily by price/mix declines in traditional consumer film products, photofinishing, consumer digital cameras, and entertainment print films in the D&FIS segment, analog medical film and digital capture equipment in the Health segment, and graphic arts products in the Graphic Communications segment.  The decline in price/mix was partially offset by favorable exchange, which increased gross margins by approximately 0.8 percentage points, and decreases in manufacturing cost, which favorably impacted gross profit margins by approximately 0.3 percentage points year-over-year due to reduced labor expense, favorable materials pricing and improved product yields.  The acquisition of PracticeWorks in the fourth quarter of 2003 did not have a significant impact on the gross profit margin.


PAGE 41

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $2,618 million for 2003 as compared with $2,504 million for 2002, representing an increase of $114 million, or 5%.  SG&A remained consistent as a percentage of sales at 20% for both years.  The net increase in SG&A is primarily attributable to an increase in the benefit rate and the occurrence of the following one-time charges: intellectual property settlement of $12 million; patent infringement claim of $14 million; settlement of outstanding issues relating to a prior year acquisition of $14 million; write-down of the Burrell Companies’ net assets held for sale of $9 million; donation to a technology enterprise for research purposes amounting to $8 million; legal settlement of $8 million; strategic asset impairments of $3 million; and unfavorable exchange of $118 million due to an increased level of SG&A costs incurred in non-U.S. countries as most foreign currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar in 2003.  These items were partially offset by a reversal of environmental reserves of $9 million and cost savings realized from position eliminations associated with ongoing focused cost reduction programs.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development (R&D) costs were $776 million for 2003 as compared with $757 million for 2002, representing an increase of $19 million, or 3%.  The increase in R&D is primarily due to $31 million of write-offs for purchased in-process R&D associated with two acquisitions made in 2003.  These charges were partially offset by cost savings realized from position eliminations associated with ongoing focused cost reduction programs.  As a percentage of sales, R&D costs remained flat at 6.0% for both 2003 and 2002.

Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations Before Interest, Other Income (Charges), Net and Income Taxes

Earnings from continuing operations before interest, other income (charges), net, and income taxes for 2003 were $302 million as compared with $1,168 million for 2002, representing a decrease of $866 million, or 74%.  The decrease is primarily the result of (1) the decline in gross profit margin and an increase in SG&A, and (2) net focused cost reduction charges of $479 million incurred during 2003 as compared with $98 million for 2002, an increase of $381 million which was primarily due to the costs incurred under the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program.    

Interest Expense

Interest expense for 2003 was $147 million as compared with $173 million for 2002, representing a decrease of $26 million, or 15%.  The decrease in interest expense is almost entirely attributable to lower average interest rates in 2003 relative to 2002, which was driven mainly by the refinancing of the Company’s $144 million 9.38% Notes due March 2003 and the $110 million 7.36% Notes due April 2003 with lower interest rate medium term notes and lower average interest rates on commercial paper during 2003. 

Other Income (Charges), Net

The other income (charges), net component includes principally investment income, income and losses from equity investments, foreign exchange, and gains and losses on the sales of assets and investments.  Other income (charges), net for 2003 were a net charge of $51 million as compared with a net charge of $101 million for 2002.  The decrease in other income (charges), net is primarily attributable to increased income from the Company’s equity investment in Kodak Polychrome Graphics, reduced losses from the Company’s NexPress joint venture, the elimination of losses from the Company’s equity investment in the Phogenix joint venture due to its dissolution in the second quarter of 2003, and lower non-strategic venture investment impairments.


PAGE 42

Income Tax Provision (Benefit)

The Company’s effective tax rate benefit from continuing operations was $85 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, representing an effective tax rate benefit from continuing operations of 82%, despite the fact that the Company had positive earnings from continuing operations before income taxes.  The effective tax rate benefit from continuing operations of 82% differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to earnings from operations in certain lower-taxed jurisdictions outside the U.S., coupled with losses incurred in certain jurisdictions that are benefited at a rate equal to or greater than the U.S. federal income tax rate.   

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations was 15% for the year ended December 31, 2002.  The effective tax rate from continuing operations of 15% is less than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the charges for the focused cost reductions and asset impairments being deducted in jurisdictions that have a higher tax rate than the U.S. federal income tax rate, and also due to discrete period tax benefits of $45 million in connection with the closure of the Company’s PictureVision subsidiary and $46 million relating to the consolidation of the Company’s photofinishing operations in Japan and the loss realized from the liquidation of a subsidiary as part of that consolidation.  These benefits were partially offset by the impact of recording a valuation allowance to provide for certain tax benefits that the Company would be required to forgo in order to fully realize the benefits of its foreign tax credit carryforwards.

Excluding the effect of discrete period items, the effective tax rate from continuing operations was 15.5% and 26.5% in 2003 and 2002, respectively.  The decrease from 26.5% in 2002 to 15.5% in 2003 is primarily due to increased earnings in certain lower-taxed jurisdictions outside the U.S. relative to total consolidated earnings.

Earnings From Continuing Operations

Net earnings from continuing operations for 2003 were $189 million, or $.66 per basic and diluted share, as compared with net earnings from continuing operations for 2002 of $761 million, or $2.61 per basic and diluted share, representing a decrease of $572 million, or 75%.  The decrease in net earnings from continuing operations is primarily attributable to the reasons outlined above.

DIGITAL & FILM IMAGING SYSTEMS

Worldwide Revenues

Net worldwide sales for the D&FIS segment were $9,248 million for 2003 as compared with $9,002 million for 2002, representing an increase of $246 million, or 3% as reported, or a decrease of 3% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.  Approximately 1.9 percentage points of the increase in net sales was attributable to increases related to volume, driven primarily by consumer digital cameras, printer dock products, inkjet media and entertainment print films, partially offset by volume declines for traditional consumer film products, and approximately 5.9 percentage points of the increase was attributable to favorable exchange.  These increases were partially offset by price/mix declines, primarily driven by consumer digital cameras and traditional products and services, which reduced net sales by approximately 4.8 percentage points.

D&FIS segment net sales in the U.S. were $3,828 million for 2003 as compared with $4,034 million for 2002, representing a decrease of $206 million, or 5%.  D&FIS segment net sales outside the U.S. were $5,420 million for 2003 as compared with $4,968 million for 2002, representing an increase of $452 million, or 9% as reported, or a decrease of 1% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.

Digital Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

D&FIS segment digital product sales were $1,802 million for 2003 as compared with $1,199 million for 2002, representing an increase of $603 million, or 50%, primarily driven by the consumer digital capture SPG and the home printing SPG.


PAGE 43

Net worldwide sales of consumer digital cameras increased 79% in 2003 as compared with 2002, driven almost entirely by strong increases in volume, which were partially offset by declines in price/mix. Sales continue to be driven by strong consumer acceptance of the EasyShare digital camera system, as reflected in increased market share in a rapidly growing market.

Although some of Kodak’s largest channels do not report share data, Kodak continued to hold one of the top U.S. digital camera market share positions in channels reporting share data, attaining the number three share position for the full year, after attaining the top spot for the fourth quarter alone.  Outside of the U.S., Kodak placed in the top four market share positions in 6 out of 9 key markets in the fourth quarter, and in the top four in 5 out of 9 key markets for the full year.  Consumer digital cameras were profitable on a fully allocated basis for the second half of 2003.

Kodak’s new printer dock products, initially launched in the spring of 2003, experienced strong sales growth in the fourth quarter of 2003, strengthening their number two share position in the U.S. snapshot printer market and putting them on track to be a $100 million business in the first full year of sales. 

Net worldwide sales from the Company’s consumer digital products and services, which include picture maker kiosks/media and retail consumer digital services revenue primarily from Picture CD and Retail.com, increased 6% in 2003 as compared with 2002, driven primarily by an increase in sales of kiosks and consumer digital services. 

Net worldwide sales of inkjet photo paper increased 32% in 2003 as compared with 2002, primarily due to higher volumes.  Kodak continued to maintain its shared leader market share position in the U.S. in 2003.  The double-digit revenue growth and the maintenance of market share are primarily attributable to strong underlying market growth and the continued growth and acceptance of a new line of small format inkjet papers. 

Traditional Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

D&FIS segment traditional product sales were $7,446 million for 2003 as compared with $7,803 million for 2002, representing a decrease of $357 million, or 5%, primarily driven by declines in the film capture SPG and the consumer output SPG.  Net worldwide sales of the film capture SPG, including consumer roll film (35mm and APS), one-time-use cameras (OTUC), decreased 9% in 2003 as compared with 2002, reflecting declines due to lower volumes of 12% and price/mix declines of 3%, partially offset by favorable exchange of 6%.  Sales of the Company’s consumer film products within the U.S. decreased 18% in 2003 as compared with 2002, reflecting declines due to lower volumes of 17% and price/mix declines of 1%.  Sales of the Company’s consumer film products outside the U.S. decreased 2% in 2003 compared with 2002, reflecting declines in volume of 9% and price/mix declines of 2%, partially offset by favorable exchange of 9%.  The lower film product sales are attributable to a declining industry demand driven primarily by the impact of digital substitution and retailer inventory reductions.

The U.S. film industry sell-through volumes decreased approximately 8% in 2003 as compared with 2002 primarily due to the impact of digital substitution.  The Company maintained approximately flat year-over-year blended U.S. consumer film share as it has done for the past several consecutive years.

Net worldwide sales for photofinishing services (excluding equipment), including Qualex in the U.S. and Consumer Imaging Services (CIS) outside the U.S., decreased 15% in 2003 as compared with 2002, reflecting lower volumes and declines in price/mix, partially offset by favorable exchange.  In the U.S., Qualex’s sales for photofinishing services decreased 19% in 2003 as compared with 2002, and outside of the U.S., CIS sales decreased 8%.    

Net worldwide sales of origination and print film to the entertainment industry increased 11% in 2003 as compared with 2002, primarily reflecting higher print film volumes and favorable exchange, partially offset by negative price/mix.


PAGE 44

Net worldwide sales of professional film capture products, including color negative, color reversal and commercial black and white films, decreased 13% in 2003 as compared with 2002, primarily reflecting declines in volume and negative price/mix, partially offset by favorable exchange. Sales declines of professional film capture products resulted primarily from the ongoing impact of digital substitution.  Net worldwide sales of professional sensitized output, including color negative paper and display materials, increased 2% in 2003 as compared with 2002, primarily reflecting an increase related to favorable exchange, partially offset by declines in volume and negative price/mix. 

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the D&FIS segment was $2,864 million for 2003 as compared with $3,219 million for 2002, representing a decrease of $355 million or 11%.  The gross profit margin was 31.0% in the current year as compared with 35.8% in the prior year.  The 4.8 percentage point decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in price/mix that impacted gross profit margins by approximately 6.3 percentage points, partially offset by manufacturing cost improvements and favorable exchange, which impacted gross margins by approximately 0.5 and 1.1 percentage points, respectively.  The decrease in price/mix was primarily due to the impact of digital substitution, resulting in a decrease in sales of higher margin traditional products, the impact of which was only partially offset by increased sales of lower margin digital products. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses for the D&FIS segment were $1,967 million for 2003 as compared with $1,935 million for 2002, representing an increase of $32 million or 2%.  The net increase in SG&A spending is primarily attributable to unfavorable exchange of $96 million and an increase in the benefit rate, partially offset by cost savings realized from position eliminations associated with ongoing focused cost reduction programs.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A expense remained constant at 21% for both years.

Research and Development Costs

R&D costs for the D&FIS segment decreased $32 million or 6% from $513 million in 2002 to $481 million in 2003.  As a percentage of sales, R&D costs decreased slightly from 6% in 2002 to 5% in 2003.  The decrease in R&D was primarily due to cost savings realized from position eliminations associated with ongoing focused cost reduction programs.  These cost savings were partially offset by $21 million of write-offs for purchased in-process R&D associated with an acquisition made in 2003. 

Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations Before Interest, Other Income (Charges), Net and Income Taxes

Earnings from continuing operations before interest, other income (charges), net, and income taxes for the D&FIS segment decreased $355 million, or 46%, from $771 million in 2002 to $416 million in 2003, primarily as a result of the factors described above.

HEALTH

On October 7, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of PracticeWorks, Inc., a leading provider of dental practice management software and digital radiographic imaging systems for approximately $475 million in cash, inclusive of transaction costs, and assumed net debt of approximately $20 million.  This acquisition enables Kodak to offer its customers a full spectrum of dental imaging products and services from traditional film to digital radiography and photography. 


PAGE 45

Worldwide Revenues

Net worldwide sales for the Health segment were $2,431 million for 2003 as compared with $2,274 million for 2002, representing an increase of $157 million, or 7% as reported, or an increase of 2% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.  The increase in sales was comprised of: (1) an increase from favorable exchange of approximately 5.4 percentage points, (2) the acquisition of PracticeWorks Inc. in October 2003, which accounted for approximately 2.1 percentage points of the sales increase as it contributed $48 million to 2003 sales of dental systems, and (3) an increase in volume of approximately 2.9 percentage points, driven primarily by volume increases in digital products.  These increases were partially offset by declines in price/mix of approximately 3.3 percentage points, which were related to both digital and traditional products.

Net sales in the U.S. were $1,061 million for 2003 as compared with $1,088 for 2002, representing a decrease of $27 million, or 2%.  Net sales outside the U.S. were $1,370 million for 2003 as compared with $1,186 million for 2002, representing an increase of $184 million, or 16% as reported, or an increase of 5% excluding the favorable impact of exchange. 

Digital Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

Health segment digital sales, which include laser printers (DryView imagers and wet laser printers), digital media (DryView and wet laser media), digital capture equipment (computed radiography capture equipment and digital radiography equipment), services, dental practice management software, and Healthcare Information Systems (HCIS) including Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS), were $1,438 million for 2003 compared with $1,269 million for 2002, representing an increase of $169 million or 13%.  The increase in digital product sales was primarily attributable to favorable exchange, higher volumes of digital media, digital capture equipment and services, and the PracticeWorks acquisition.  Service revenues increased due to an increase in digital equipment service contracts during 2003 as compared with 2002.  These increases were partially offset by declines in price/mix for digital media and digital capture equipment.

Traditional Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

Health segment traditional products, including analog film, equipment, chemistry and services, were $993 million for 2003 compared with $1,005 million for 2002, representing a decrease of $12 million or 1%, reflecting declines in volume and negative price/mix almost entirely offset by favorable exchange.  

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the Health segment was $1,045 million for 2003 as compared with $930 million for 2002, representing an increase of $115 million, or 12%.  The gross profit margin was 43.0% in 2003 as compared with 40.9% in 2002.  The increase in the gross profit margin of 2.1 percentage points was primarily attributable to: (1) a decrease in manufacturing cost, which increased gross profit margins by approximately 3.1 percentage points, primarily due to favorable media and equipment manufacturing cost led by DryView digital media and digital capture equipment, complemented by lower service costs, (2) favorable exchange, which contributed approximately 1.1 percentage points to the gross profit margin, and (3) the acquisition of PracticeWorks in the fourth quarter of 2003, which increased gross profit margins by approximately 0.4 percentage points for the current year.  These increases were partially offset by decreases attributable to price/mix, which negatively impacted gross profit margins by 2.5 percentage points due to lower prices for digital media, digital capture equipment and analog medical film. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses for the Health segment increased $44 million, or 13%, from $347 million for 2002 to $391 million for 2003.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased from 15% for 2002 to 16% for 2003.  The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to the acquisition of PracticeWorks, which had $21 million of SG&A expenses in 2003, an increase in the benefit rate, and the unfavorable impact of exchange, which accounted for $16 million of the increase.

R&D costs for the Health segment increased $26 million, or 17%, from $152 million in 2002 to $178 million in 2003.  As a percentage of sales, R&D costs remained unchanged at 7% in both years.  The increase was primarily due to $12 million of R&D costs associated with the acquisition of PracticeWorks, $10 million of which was a one-time write-off of purchased in-process R&D.  The remainder of the increase was due to increased spending to drive growth in selected areas of the product portfolio.

Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations Before Interest, Other Income (Charges), Net and Income Taxes

Earnings from continuing operations before interest, other income (charges), net, and income taxes for the Health segment increased $45 million, or 10%, from $431 million for 2002 to $476 million for 2003 due primarily to the reasons described above. 

COMMERCIAL IMAGING

Worldwide Revenues

Net worldwide sales for the Commercial Imaging segment remained constant at $791 million for both 2003 and 2002, or a decrease of 6% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.  Favorable exchange and price/mix, which contributed approximately 6.1 and 0.3 percentage points, respectively, to 2003 sales was entirely offset by decreases due to volume of approximately 6.4 percentage points, primarily driven by declines in document imaging products and services.

Net sales in the U.S. were $334 million for 2003 as compared with $366 million for 2002, representing a decrease of $32 million, or 9%.  Net sales outside the U.S. were $457 million in 2003 as compared with $425 million in 2002, representing an increase of $32 million, or 8%, or a decrease of 4% excluding the favorable impact of exchange.

Digital and Traditional Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

Commercial Imaging segment digital product sales remained constant at $367 million for both 2003 and 2002.  Segment traditional product sales were constant at  $424 million for both 2003 and 2002. 

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the Commercial Imaging segment for 2003 decreased $15 million, or 5%, from $282 million for 2002 to $267 million for 2003.  The gross profit margin was 33.8% for 2003 as compared with 35.7% for 2002.  The decrease in the gross profit margin of 1.9 percentage points was attributable to an increase in manufacturing cost, which negatively impacted gross profit margins by approximately 2.2 percentage points, partially offset by exchange, which favorably impacted gross profit margins by 0.5 percentage points. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses for the Commercial Imaging segment increased $1 million, or 1%, from $134 million for 2002 to $135 million for 2003.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses also remained constant at 17% for both years.

Research and Development Costs

R&D costs for the Commercial Imaging segment decreased $7 million, or 23%, from $30 million for 2002 to $23 million for 2003.  As a percentage of sales, R&D costs decreased from 4% in 2002 to 3% in 2003. 


PAGE 47

Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations Before Interest, Other Income (Charges), Net and Income Taxes

Earnings from continuing operations before interest, other income (charges), net, and income taxes for the Commercial Imaging segment decreased $9 million, or 8%, from $118 million in 2002 to $109 million in 2003.  The decrease in earnings from operations is primarily attributable to the reasons outlined above.

GRAPHIC COMMUNICATIONS

Worldwide Revenues

Net worldwide sales for the Graphic Communications segment were $346 million for 2003 as compared with $402 million for 2002, representing a decrease of $56 million, or 14% as reported, with no impact from exchange.  The decrease in net sales was due to: (1) declines in volume of approximately 9.4 percentage points, which was primarily attributable to graphics products, and (2) declines due to price/mix of approximately 5.2 percentage points, which was also driven by graphics products.

Net sales in the U.S. were $156 million for 2003 as compared with $174 million for 2002, representing a decrease of $18 million, or 10%.  Net sales outside the U.S. were $190 million for 2003 as compared with $228 million for 2002, representing a decrease of $38 million, or 17%, with no impact from exchange.

Digital and Traditional Strategic Product Groups’ Revenues

Graphic Communications segment 2003 and 2002 digital product sales are comprised of Encad, Inc. products and services.  Segment traditional product sales are limited to the sales of traditional graphics products to the KPG joint venture. 

Net worldwide sales of graphic arts products to Kodak Polychrome Graphics (KPG), an unconsolidated joint venture affiliate in which the Company has a 50% ownership interest, decreased 14% in 2003 as compared with 2002, reflecting declines in both volume and price/mix in graphic arts film.  This reduction was primarily due to the effects of digital substitution.


PAGE 48

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the Graphic Communications segment for 2003 decreased $38 million, or 44%, from $87 million for 2002 to $49 million for 2003.  The gross profit margin was 14.2% for 2003 as compared with 21.6% for 2002.  The decrease in the gross profit margin of 7.4 percentage points was attributable to: (1) declines attributable to price/mix, which reduced gross profit margins by approximately 4.2 percentage points primarily due to declining contributions from traditional graphic arts products for the reasons outlined above, (2) unfavorable exchange, which negatively impacted gross profit margins by 2.8 percentage points, and (3) an increase in manufacturing cost, which negatively impacted gross profit margins by approximately 0.9 percentage points. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses for the Graphic Communications segment remained constant at $37 million for both 2003 and 2002.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased from 9% for 2002 to 11% for 2003, primarily due to the impact of unfavorable exchange and an increase in the benefit rate.

Research and Development Costs

R&D costs for the Graphic Communications segment decreased $6 million, or 21%, from $29 million for 2002 to $23 million for 2003.  As a percentage of sales, R&D costs remained constant at 7% for both years.

Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations Before Interest, Other Income (Charges), Net and Income Taxes

Earnings or losses from continuing operations before interest, other income (charges), net, and income taxes for the Graphic Communications segment decreased $32 million, or 152%, from earnings of $21 million in 2002 to losses of $11 million in 2003.  The decrease in earnings from operations is primarily attributable to the reasons outlined above.

KPG’s earnings performance continued to improve driven primarily by its world-leading position in the growth segments of digital proofing and digital printing plates, coupled with favorable foreign exchange.  The Company’s equity in the earnings of KPG contributed positive results to other income (charges), net during 2003.

NexPress, the unconsolidated joint venture between Kodak and Heidelberg in which the Company had a 50% ownership interest, continued to increase unit placements of the NexPress 2100 Digital Production Color Press despite a weak printing market, with good customer acceptance.

ALL OTHER

Worldwide Revenues

Net worldwide sales for All Other were $93 million for 2003 as compared with $80 million for 2002, representing an increase of $13 million, or 16%.  Net sales in the U.S. were $42 million in 2003 as compared with $45 million for 2002, representing a decrease of $3 million, or 7%.   Net sales outside the U.S. were $51 million in 2003 as compared with $35 million in 2002, representing an increase of $16 million, or 46%.

Losses From Continuing Operations Before Interest, Other Income (Charges), Net and Income Taxes

Losses from continuing operations before interest, other income (charges), net, and income taxes for All Other increased $50 million from a loss of $27 million in 2002 to a loss of $77 million in 2003.  Increased levels of investment for the Company’s display business primarily drove the increase in the loss from operations.


PAGE 49

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On February 9, 2004, the Company announced its intent to sell the assets and business of the Remote Sensing Systems operation, including the stock of Kodak’s wholly owned subsidiary, Research Systems, Inc., collectively known as RSS, to ITT Industries for $725 million in cash.  RSS, a leading provider of specialized imaging solutions to the aerospace and defense community, was previously presented as part of the Company’s commercial & government systems’ operation within the Commercial Imaging segment.  Its customers include NASA, other U.S. government agencies, and aerospace and defense companies.

Earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, for 2003 were $64 million, or $.22 per basic and diluted share, as compared with earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, for 2002 of $9 million, or $.03 per basic and diluted share.  The 2003 earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, primarily reflects net of tax earnings of $40 million related to the operations of RSS, and net of tax earnings of $27 million primarily related to reversals of tax and environmental reserves as described below. 

During the first quarter of 2003, the Company reversed a tax reserve of $15 million through discontinued operations.  The reversal of the tax reserve was triggered by the Company’s repurchase of certain properties that were initially sold in connection with the 1994 divestiture of Sterling Winthrop Inc., which represented a portion of the Company’s non-imaging health businesses.  The repurchase of these properties will allow the Company to directly manage the environmental remediation that the Company is required to perform in connection with those properties, which will result in better overall cost control.  In addition, the repurchase eliminated the uncertainty regarding the recoverability of tax benefits associated with the indemnification payments that were previously being made to the purchaser.

During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a net of tax credit of $7 million through discontinued operations for the reversal of an environmental reserve, which was primarily attributable to positive developments in the Company’s remediation efforts relating to a formerly owned manufacturing site in the U.S.  In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company reversed state income tax reserves of $3 million, net of tax, through discontinued operations due to the favorable outcome of tax audits in connection with a formerly owned business. 

The earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $9 million for 2002 reflects net of tax earnings of $32 million related to the operations of RSS, and net of tax earnings of $12 million related to the favorable outcome of litigation associated with the 1994 sale of Sterling Winthrop Inc.  These earnings were partially offset by losses incurred from the shutdown of Kodak Global Imaging, Inc. (KGII), which amounted to $35 million net of tax.

NET EARNINGS

Net earnings for 2003 were $253 million, or $.88 per basic and diluted share, as compared with net earnings for 2002 of $770 million, or $2.64 per basic and diluted share, representing a decrease of $517 million, or 67%.  This decrease is primarily attributable to the reasons outlined above.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER

Currently, the Company is being adversely impacted by the progressing digital substitution.  As the Company continues to adjust its operating model in light of changing business conditions, it is probable that ongoing cost reduction activities will be required from time to time.

In accordance with this, the Company periodically announces planned restructuring programs (Programs), which often consist of a number of restructuring initiatives.  These Program announcements provide estimated ranges relating to the number of positions to be eliminated and the total restructuring charges to be incurred.  The actual charges for initiatives under a Program are recorded in the period in which the Company commits to formalized restructuring plans or executes the specific actions contemplated by the Program and all criteria for restructuring charge recognition under the applicable accounting guidance have been met.

The Other Adjustments and Reclasses column of the table above includes reclassifications to Other long-term assets, Postretirement liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  It also includes foreign currency translation adjustments of $19 million which are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.


PAGE 54

The costs incurred, net of reversals, which total $889 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, include $183 million and $21 million of charges related to accelerated depreciation and inventory write-downs, respectively, which were reported in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The remaining costs incurred, net of reversals, of $685 million, were reported as restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The severance costs and exit costs require the outlay of cash, while long-lived asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and inventory write-downs represent non-cash items.

2004-2006 Restructuring Program

In addition to completing the remaining initiatives under the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program, the Company announced on January 22, 2004 that it planned to develop and execute a comprehensive cost reduction program throughout the 2004 to 2006 timeframe.  The objective of these actions is to achieve a business model appropriate for the Company’s traditional businesses, and to sharpen the Company’s competitiveness in digital markets.  As a result of the actions, the Company expects cost savings in the range of $800 million to $1 billion for full year 2007. 

The Program is expected to result in total charges of $1.3 billion to $1.7 billion over the three-year period, of which $700 million to $900 million are related to severance, with the remainder relating to the disposal of buildings and equipment.  Overall, Kodak’s worldwide facility square footage is expected to be reduced by approximately one-third.  Approximately 12,000 to 15,000 positions worldwide are expected to be eliminated through these actions primarily in global manufacturing, selected traditional businesses and corporate administration.  Maximum single year cash usage under the new program is expected to be approximately $250 million.      

The Company implemented certain actions under this program during 2004.  As a result of these actions, the Company recorded charges of $674 million in 2004, which was composed of severance, long-lived asset impairments, exit costs and inventory write-downs of $418 million, $138 million, $99 million and $19 million, respectively.  The severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 9,625 positions, including approximately 4,700 photofinishing, 3,575 manufacturing, 425 research and development and 925 administrative positions.  The geographic composition of the positions to be eliminated includes approximately 5,075 in the United States and Canada and 4,550 throughout the rest of the world.  The reduction of the 9,625 positions and the $517 million charges for severance and exit costs are reflected in the 2004-2006 Restructuring Program table below.  The $138 million charge for long-lived asset impairments was included in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The charges taken for inventory write-downs of $19 million were reported in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.     


PAGE 55

The following table summarizes the activity with respect to the charges recorded in connection with the focused cost reduction actions that the Company has committed to under the 2004-2006 Restructuring Program and the remaining balances in the related reserves at December 31, 2004:

The severance charges of $418 million and the exit costs of $99 million were reported in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  Included in the $418 million charge taken for severance costs was a net curtailment gain of $6 million.  This net curtailment gain is disclosed in Note 17, “Retirement Plans” and Note 18, “Other Postretirement Benefits.”  Included in the $99 million charge taken for exit costs was a $16 million charge for environmental remediation associated with the closures of the manufacturing facility in Coburg, Australia and Toronto, Canada, and the closure of a Qualex wholesale photofinishing lab in the U.S.  The liability related to this charge is disclosed in Note 11, “Commitments and Contingencies” under “Environmental.”  During 2004, the Company made $169 million of severance payments and $47 million of exit cost payments related to the 2004-2006 Restructuring Program.  In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company reversed $6 million of severance reserves, as severance payments were less than originally estimated.  The $1 million exit costs reserve reversal recorded in the third quarter of 2004 resulted from the settlement of a lease obligation for an amount that was less than originally estimated.  These reserve reversals were included in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  As a result of the initiatives already implemented under the 2004-2006 Restructuring Program, severance payments will be paid during periods through 2007 since, in many instances, the employees whose positions were eliminated can elect or are required to receive their payments over an extended period of time.  Most exit costs were paid during 2004.  However, certain costs, such as long-term lease payments, will be paid over periods after 2004. 


PAGE 56

As a result of initiatives implemented under the 2004-2006 Restructuring Program, the Company recorded $152 million of accelerated depreciation on long-lived assets in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The accelerated depreciation relates to long-lived assets accounted for under the held and used model of SFAS No. 144.  The year-to-date amount of $152 million relates to $49 million of photofinishing facilities and equipment, $102 million of manufacturing facilities and equipment, and $1 million of administrative facilities and equipment that will be used until their abandonment.  The Company will record approximately $142 million of additional accelerated depreciation in 2005 related to the initiatives implemented in 2004.  Additional amounts of accelerated depreciation may be recorded in 2005 and 2006 as the Company continues to execute its 2004-2006 Restructuring Program. 

The charges of $826 million recorded in 2004 included $435 million applicable to the D&FIS segment, $8 million applicable to the Health segment, $5 million applicable to the Graphic Communications segment and $2 million applicable to the Commercial Imaging segment.  The balance of $376 million was applicable to manufacturing, research and development, and administrative functions, which are shared across all segments. 

Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program

During the third quarter of 2003, the Company announced its intention to implement a series of cost reduction actions during the last two quarters of 2003 and the first two quarters of 2004, which were expected to result in pre-tax charges totaling $350 million to $450 million.  It was anticipated that these actions would result in a reduction of approximately 4,500 to 6,000 positions worldwide, primarily relating to the rationalization of global manufacturing assets, reduction of corporate administration and research and development, and the consolidation of the infrastructure and administration supporting the Company’s consumer imaging and professional products and services operations. 

The Company implemented certain actions under this Program during 2004.  As a result of these actions, the Company recorded charges of $58 million in 2004, which was composed of severance, exit costs, long-lived asset impairments and inventory write-downs of $45 million, $7 million, $4 million and $2 million, respectively.  The severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 2,000 positions, including approximately 850 photofinishing positions, 775 manufacturing positions and 375 administrative positions.  The geographic composition of the positions to be eliminated includes approximately 1,100 in the United States and Canada and 900 throughout the rest of the world.  The reduction of the 2,000 positions and the $52 million charges for severance and exit costs are reflected in the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program table below.  The $4 million charge for long-lived asset impairments was included in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The charges taken for inventory write-downs of $2 million were reported in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The severance charges of $45 million and the exit costs of $7 million were reported in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  Included in the $45 million charge taken for severance costs was a net curtailment gain of $17 million.  The net curtailment gain is disclosed in Note 17, “Retirement Plans” and Note 18, “Other Postretirement Benefits.”  During 2004, the Company made $208 million of severance payments and $14 million of exit costs payments related to the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program.  In addition, the Company reversed $4 million of severance reserves and $3 million of exit costs reserves during 2004.  The severance reserve reversals were recorded, as severance payments were less than originally estimated.  The $2 million exit costs reserve reversal recorded during the second quarter of 2004 resulted from the Company settling a lease obligation for an amount that was less than originally estimated.  The additional $1 million of exit costs reserves reversed in the fourth quarter of 2004 resulted from the Company settling certain exit cost obligations for an amount that was less than originally estimated.  The severance and exit costs reserve reversals were included in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The remaining severance payments relating to initiatives already implemented under the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program will be paid during 2005 since, in many instances, the employees whose positions were eliminated can elect or are required to receive their severance payments over an extended period of time.  Most exit costs were paid during 2004.  However, certain costs, such as long-term lease payments, will be paid over periods after 2004. 


PAGE 58

As a result of initiatives implemented under the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program, the Company recorded $24 million of accelerated depreciation on long-lived assets in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The accelerated depreciation relates to long-lived assets accounted for under the held and used model of SFAS No. 144.  The year-to-date amount of $24 million relates to $17 million of manufacturing facilities and equipment and $7 million of photofinishing facilities and equipment that will be used until their abandonment.

The year-to-date charges of $82 million included $45 million applicable to the D&FIS segment, $6 million applicable to the Health segment and $1 million applicable to the Commercial Imaging segment.  The balance of $30 million was applicable to manufacturing, research and development, and administrative functions, which are shared across segments.  The program-to-date charges of $479 million included $253 million applicable to the D&FIS segment, $26 million applicable to the Health segment and $10 million applicable to the Commercial Imaging segment.  The balance of $190 million was applicable to manufacturing, research and development, and administrative functions, which are shared across segments.

As of the end of the first quarter of 2004, the Company had committed to all of the initiatives originally contemplated under the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program.  The Company committed to the elimination of a total of 5,850 positions under the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program.  The remaining 25 positions to be eliminated under the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program are expected to be completed during 2005.  The Company’s expected cost savings as a result of all actions contemplated under the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program were approximately $275 million in 2004, with annual savings of $325 million to $350 million expected thereafter.   

First Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program

In the early part of the first quarter of 2003, as part of its continuing focused cost reduction efforts and in addition to the remaining initiatives under the Fourth Quarter, 2002 Restructuring Program, the Company announced its First Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program that included new initiatives to further reduce employment within a range of 1,800 to 2,200 employees.  A significant portion of these new initiatives related to the rationalization of the Company’s photofinishing operations in the U.S. and Europe.  Specifically, as a result of declining film and photofinishing volumes and in response to global economic and political conditions, the Company began to implement initiatives to: (1) close certain photofinishing operations in the U.S. and EAMER, (2) rationalize manufacturing capacity by eliminating manufacturing positions on a worldwide basis, and (3) eliminate selling, general and administrative positions, particularly in the D&FIS segment.

During 2004, the Company made severance payments of $15 million and exit cost payments of $4 million related to the First Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program.  In addition, the Company reversed $1 million of severance reserves during 2004, as severance payments were less than originally estimated.  This reversal was included in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The remaining severance payments relating to initiatives already implemented under the First Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program will be paid during 2005 since, in many instances, the employees whose positions were eliminated can elect or are required to receive their severance payments over an extended period of time.

As a result of initiatives implemented under the First Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program, the Company recorded $7 million of accelerated depreciation on long-lived assets in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The accelerated depreciation relates to long-lived assets accounted for under the held and used model of SFAS No. 144.  The year-to-date amount of $7 million relates to lab equipment used in photofinishing that was used until its abandonment.

The charges of $7 million recorded during 2004 were applicable to the D&FIS segment.  The program-to-date charges of $112 million included $92 million applicable to the D&FIS segment, $4 million applicable to the Commercial Imaging segment and $1 million applicable to the Graphic Communications segment.  The balance of $15 million was applicable to manufacturing and administrative functions, which are shared across all segments.


PAGE 60

As of the end of the third quarter of 2003, the Company had committed to all of the initiatives originally contemplated under the First Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program.  A total of 1,850 positions were eliminated as a result of the initiatives implemented under the First Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program.  Cost savings resulting from the implementation of all First Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program actions are expected to be $65 million to $85 million on an annual basis, beginning in 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

2004

The Company believes that its cash flow from operations will be sufficient to cover its working capital and capital investment needs, debt maturities and dividend payments.  The Company’s cash balances and financing arrangements will be used to bridge timing differences between expenditures and cash generated from operations.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased $5 million, from $1,250 million at December 31, 2003 to $1,255 million at December 31, 2004.  The increase resulted primarily from $1,168 million of net cash provided by operating activities.  This was offset by $1,066 million of net cash used in financing activities, and $120 million of net cash used in investing activities.  

The net cash provided by operating activities of $1,168 million was mainly attributable to the Company’s net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004, as adjusted for the earnings from discontinued operations, equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, depreciation, purchased research and development, restructuring costs, asset impairments and other non-cash charges, a benefit from deferred taxes, and a gain on sales of businesses/assets.  This source of cash was partially offset by $481 million of restructuring payments and an increase in receivables of $43 million.  The increase in receivables is primarily attributable to increased sales of digital products.  The net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations of $828 million was utilized primarily for capital expenditures of $460 million and business acquisitions of $369 million.  The net cash used in financing activities of $1,066 million was the result of net reduction of debt of $928 million as well as dividend payments for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The Company maintains $2,373 million in committed bank lines of credit and $753 million in uncommitted bank lines of credit to ensure continued access to short-term borrowing capacity.  On September 5, 2003, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the new debt shelf registration) for the issuance of up to $2,000 million of new debt securities.  Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act of 1933, $650 million of remaining unsold debt securities under a prior shelf registration statement were included in the new debt shelf registration, thus giving the Company the ability to issue up to $2,650 million in public debt.  After issuance of $500 million in notes in October 2003 (referred to below), the remaining availability under the new debt shelf registration is currently at $2,150 million.  These funding alternatives provide the Company with sufficient flexibility and liquidity to meet its working capital and investing needs.  However, the success of future public debt issuances will be dependent on market conditions at the time of such an offering. 

The Company’s primary uses of cash include debt maturities, acquisitions, dividend payments, and temporary working capital needs.  The Company has a dividend policy whereby it makes semi-annual payments which, when declared, will be paid on the Company’s 10th business day each July and December to shareholders of record on the close of the first business day of the preceding month.  On May 12, 2004, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.25 per share payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2004.  This dividend was paid on July 15, 2004.  On October 19, 2004, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.25 per share payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 1, 2004.  This dividend was paid on December 14, 2004.

Capital additions were $460 million in the year ended December 31, 2004, with the majority of the spending supporting new products, manufacturing productivity and quality improvements, infrastructure improvements, and ongoing environmental and safety initiatives.  For the full year 2005, the Company expects its capital spending, excluding acquisitions, to be in the range of $575 million to $625 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company expended $481 million against the related restructuring reserves, primarily for the payment of severance benefits.  Employees whose positions were eliminated could elect to have their severance benefits paid over a period of up to two years following their date of termination.

The Company has $2,225 million in committed revolving credit facilities, which are available for general corporate purposes including the support of the Company’s commercial paper program.  The credit facilities are comprised of the $1,000 million 364-day committed revolving credit facility (364-Day Facility) expiring in July 2005 and a 5-year committed facility at $1,225 million expiring in July 2006 (5-Year Facility).  If unused, they have a commitment fee of $4.5 million per year at the Company’s current credit rating of Baa3 and BBB- from Moody’s and Standard & Poors (S&P), respectively.  Interest on amounts borrowed under these facilities is calculated at rates based on spreads above certain reference rates and the Company’s credit rating.  Under the 364-Day Facility and 5-Year Facility, there is a quarterly financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) ratio, on a rolling four-quarter basis, of not greater than 3 to 1.  In the event of violation of the covenant, the facility would not be available for borrowing until the covenant provisions were waived, amended or satisfied.  The Company was in compliance with this covenant at December 31, 2004.  The Company does not anticipate that a violation is likely to occur.  There is no debt outstanding under either facility.  Letters of credit of $103 million have been issued under the Letter of Credit sub facility of the 5-year revolver, which reduces the borrowing availability by a corresponding amount.  In February of 2005, the Company issued additional letters of credit for $31 million under the 5-year revolver. These additional letters of credit support Workers’ Compensation liabilities.

The Company has other committed and uncommitted lines of credit at December 31, 2004 totaling $148 million and $753 million, respectively.  These lines primarily support borrowing needs of the Company’s subsidiaries, which include term loans, overdraft coverage, letters of credit and revolving credit lines.  Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary from country to country, depending on local market conditions.  Total outstanding borrowings against these other committed and uncommitted lines of credit at December 31, 2004 were $53 million and $47 million, respectively.  These outstanding borrowings are reflected in the short-term borrowings in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at December 31, 2004.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had no commercial paper outstanding.  To provide additional financing flexibility, the Company has an accounts receivable securitization program, which was renewed in March 2004 at a maximum borrowing level of $200 million.  At December 31, 2004, the Company had no amounts outstanding under this program.

As part of the Company’s plan to reduce debt, on July 27, 2004, the Company elected to redeem on September 1, 2004, all of its outstanding 9.5% term notes due June 15, 2008, at a redemption price of 112.9375% of the principal amount of $34 million.  The Company recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of debt, the amount of which was not material. 

On October 10, 2003, the Company completed the offering and sale of $500 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2013 (the Notes), which was made pursuant to the Company’s new debt shelf registration.  The remaining unused balance under the Company’s new debt shelf is $2,150 million.  Concurrent with the offering and sale of the Notes, on October 10, 2003, the Company completed the private placement of $575 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2033 (the Convertible Securities) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.  Interest on the Convertible Securities will accrue at the rate of 3.375% per annum and is payable semiannually.  The Convertible Securities are unsecured and rank equally with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.  As a condition of the private placement, on January 6, 2004 the Company filed a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the resale of the Convertible Securities and the common stock to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Securities pursuant to a registration rights agreement, and made this shelf registration statement effective on February 6, 2004.


PAGE 62

The Convertible Securities contain a number of conversion features that include substantive contingencies.  The Convertible Securities are convertible by the holders at an initial conversion rate of 32.2373 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Securities, which is equal to an initial conversion price of $31.02 per share.  The initial conversion rate of 32.2373 is subject to adjustment for: (1) stock dividends, (2) subdivisions or combinations of the Company’s common stock, (3) issuance to all holders of the Company’s common stock of certain rights or warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at less than the market price, (4) distributions to all holders of the Company’s common stock of shares of the Company’s capital stock or the Company’s assets or evidences of indebtedness, (5) cash dividends in excess of the Company’s current cash dividends, or (6) certain payments made by the Company in connection with tender offers and exchange offers.

The holders may convert their Convertible Securities, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock under any of the following circumstances:  (1) during any calendar quarter, if the price of the Company’s common stock is greater than or equal to 120% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the previous calendar quarter; (2) during any five consecutive trading day period following any 10 consecutive trading day period in which the trading price of the Convertible Securities for each day of such period is less than 105% of the conversion value, and the conversion value for each day of such period was less than 95% of the principal amount of the Convertible Securities (the Parity Clause); (3) if the Company has called the Convertible Securities for redemption; (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions such as a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange pursuant to which the Company’s common stock would be converted into cash, property or securities; and (5) if the credit rating assigned to the Convertible Securities by either Moody’s or S&P is lower than Ba2 or BB, respectively, which represents a three notch downgrade from the Company’s current standing, or if the Convertible Securities are no longer rated by at least one of these services or their successors (the Credit Rating Clause). 

The Company may redeem some or all of the Convertible Securities at any time on or after October 15, 2010 at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Securities plus any accrued and unpaid interest.  Upon a call for redemption by the Company, a conversion trigger is met whereby the holder of each $1,000 Convertible Senior Note may convert such note to shares of the Company’s common stock. 

The holders have the right to require the Company to purchase their Convertible Securities for cash at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Securities plus any accrued and unpaid interest on October 15, 2010, October 15, 2013, October 15, 2018, October 15, 2023 and October 15, 2028, or upon a fundamental change as described in the offering memorandum filed under Rule 144A in conjunction with the private placement of the Convertible Securities.  As of December 31, 2004, the Company has reserved 18,536,447 shares in treasury stock to cover potential future conversions of these Convertible Securities into common stock. 

Certain of the conversion features contained in the Convertible Securities are deemed to be embedded derivatives as defined under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”  These embedded derivatives include the Parity Clause, the Credit Rating Clause, and any specified corporate transaction outside of the Company’s control such as a hostile takeover.  Based on an external valuation, these embedded derivatives were not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  

In November 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force finalized the consensus in Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share” (EITF 04-8).  EITF 04-8 requires that contingent convertible instruments be included in diluted earnings per share regardless of whether a market price trigger or other contingent feature has been met.  EITF 04-8 is effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004 and requires restatement of prior periods.  See Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies,” “Earnings Per Share” for further discussion.

*  Represents debt with a variable interest rate.

The Company’s debt ratings from each of the two major rating agencies did not change during the year ended December 31, 2004.  Moody’s and Standard & Poors (S&P) ratings for the Company’s long-term debt (L/T) and short-term debt (S/T), including their outlooks, as of December 31, 2004 were as follows:

On January 31, 2005, Moody’s placed its Baa3 long-term and P-3 short-term credit ratings on Kodak on review for possible downgrade, prompted by the Company’s announcement of its intention to acquire Creo Inc.  Moody’s met with the Company in March 2005 and is still in the process of completing their credit review, which may include a revision to their ratings for the Company.

On October 21, 2004, S&P placed its BBB- long-term and A-3 short-term credit ratings on Kodak on CreditWatch with negative implications.  This reflects S&P’s heightened concern about the Company’s profit outlook given the rapid decline of the Company’s traditional photography sales and an uncertain near-term profit potential for the consumer digital and graphic communications businesses and the impact of the Company’s unfunded postretirement obligations.  S&P met with the Company in March 2005 and is still in the process of completing their credit review, which may include a revision to their ratings for the Company. 

The Company no longer retains Fitch Ratings to provide credit ratings on the Company’s debt.  Subsequently, on February 1, 2005, Fitch Ratings downgraded the Company’s ratings to BB+ for long-term debt and withdrew their short-term debt rating.  Their rating outlook remains negative.


PAGE 64

The Company is in compliance with all covenants or other requirements set forth in its credit agreements and indentures.  Further, the Company does not have any rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of its debt, with the exception of the following: the outstanding borrowings, if any, under the accounts receivable securitization program if the Company’s credit ratings from Moody’s or S&P were to fall below Ba2 and BB, respectively, and such condition continued for a period of 30 days.  Additionally, the Company could be required to increase the dollar amount of its letters of credit or other financial support up to an additional $117 million if its Moody’s or S&P long-term debt credit ratings are reduced below the current ratings of Baa3 and BBB-, respectively.  Further downgrades in the Company’s credit rating or disruptions in the capital markets could impact borrowing costs and the nature of its funding alternatives.  However, the Company has access to $2,225 million in committed revolving credit facilities to meet unanticipated funding needs, should it be necessary, of which $103 million has been utilized to support issued letters of credit as of December 31, 2004. 

At December 31, 2004, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $110 million and surety bonds in the amount of $117 million primarily to ensure the completion of environmental remediations, the payment of casualty and workers’ compensation claims, and to meet various customs and tax obligations.

In February 2005, the Company issued $31 million in letters of credit in support of Workers’ Compensation liabilities. These letters of credit, issued under the Company’s 5-year revolver, reduce the borrowing availability under the 5-year revolver by $31 million.

As of December 31, 2004, the impact that our contractual obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods is as follows:

Purchase obligations include agreements related to supplies, production and administrative services, as well as marketing and advertising, that are enforceable and legally binding on the Company and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.  Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty.  The terms of these agreements cover the next two to eighteen years.

 

 

(3)

Funding requirements for the Company’s major defined benefit retirement plans and other postretirement benefit plans have not been determined, therefore, they have not been included.  In 2004, the Company made contributions to its major defined benefit retirement plans and other postretirement benefit plans of $196 million ($30 million relating to its U.S. defined benefit plans) and $254 million ($250 million relating to its U.S. other postretirement benefits plan), respectively.  The Company expects to contribute approximately $22 million and $282 million, respectively, to its U.S. defined benefit plans and other postretirement benefit plans in 2005.

Because their future cash outflows are uncertain, the other long-term liabilities presented in Note 10: Other Long-Term Liabilities are excluded from this table.

As a result of the cumulative impact of the ongoing position eliminations under its Third Quarter, 2003 and 2004-2006 Restructuring Programs as disclosed in Note 16, the Company incurred curtailment gains and losses with respect to certain of its retirement plans in 2004. These curtailment events, as well as the merger of two of the Company’s major non-U.S. plans, resulted in the remeasurement of the respective plans’ obligations, which impacted the accounting for the additional minimum pension liabilities.  As a result of these remeasurements, the Company was required to increase its additional minimum pension liabilities by $90 million during 2004.  This increase is reflected in the postretirement liabilities component within the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2004.  The net-of-tax amount of $61 million relating to the recording of the additional minimum pension liabilities is reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive loss component within the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2004.  The related increase in the long-term deferred tax asset of $29 million was reflected in the other long-term assets component within the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2004.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company guarantees debt and other obligations under agreements with certain affiliated companies and customers.  At December 31, 2004, these guarantees totaled a maximum of $356 million, with outstanding guaranteed amounts of $149 million.  The maximum guarantee amount includes guarantees of up to: $160 million of debt for Kodak Polychrome Graphics (KPG), an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company has a 50% ownership interest ($30 million outstanding); $128 million of customer amounts due to banks in connection with various banks’ financing of customers’ purchase of products and equipment from Kodak ($71 million outstanding); and $68 million for other unconsolidated affiliates and third parties ($48 million outstanding).  The KPG debt facility and the related guarantee mature on December 31, 2005.  The guarantees for the other unconsolidated affiliates and third party debt mature between 2005 and 2010.  The customer financing agreements and related guarantees typically have a term of 90 days for product and short-term equipment financing arrangements, and up to five years for long-term equipment financing arrangements.  These guarantees would require payment from Kodak only in the event of default on payment by the respective debtor.  In some cases, particularly for guarantees related to equipment financing, the Company has collateral or recourse provisions to recover and sell the equipment to reduce any losses that might be incurred in connection with the guarantee.     

Management believes the likelihood is remote that material payments will be required under any of the guarantees disclosed above.  With respect to the guarantees that the Company issued in the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company assessed the fair value of its obligation to stand ready to perform under these guarantees by considering the likelihood of occurrence of the specified triggering events or conditions requiring performance as well as other assumptions and factors.  The Company has determined that the fair value of the guarantees was not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

The Company also guarantees debt owed to banks for some of its consolidated subsidiaries.  The maximum amount guaranteed is $306 million, and the outstanding debt under those guarantees, which is recorded within the short-term borrowings and long-term debt, net of current portion components in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, is $166 million.  These guarantees expire in 2005 through 2006.

The Company may provide up to $100 million in loan guarantees to support funding needs for SK Display Corporation, an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company has a 34% ownership interest.  As of December 31, 2004, the Company has not been required to guarantee any of the SK Display Corporation’s outstanding debt.


PAGE 66

The Company issues indemnifications in certain instances when it sells businesses and real estate, and in the ordinary course of business with its customers, suppliers, service providers and business partners.  Further, the Company indemnifies its directors and officers who are, or were, serving at Kodak’s request in such capacities.  Historically, costs incurred to settle claims related to these indemnifications have not been material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  Additionally, the fair value of the indemnifications that the Company issued during the year ended December 31, 2004 was not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Qualex, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kodak, has a 50% ownership interest in Express Stop Financing (ESF), which is a joint venture partnership between Qualex and a subsidiary of Dana Credit Corporation (DCC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dana Corporation.  Qualex accounts for its investment in ESF under the equity method of accounting.  ESF provided a long-term financing solution to Qualex’s photofinishing customers in connection with Qualex’s leasing of photofinishing equipment to third parties, as opposed to Qualex extending long-term credit.  As part of the operations of its photofinishing services, Qualex sold equipment under a sales-type lease arrangement and recorded a long-term receivable.  These long-term receivables were subsequently sold to ESF without recourse to Qualex and, therefore, these receivables were removed from Qualex’s accounts.  ESF incurred debt to finance the purchase of the receivables from Qualex.  This debt was collateralized solely by the long-term receivables purchased from Qualex and, in part, by a $40 million guarantee from DCC.  On December 17, 2004, all outstanding debt of ESF was paid in full and the ESF guarantee was terminated.  Qualex provided no guarantee or collateral to ESF’s creditors in connection with the debt, and ESF’s debt was non-recourse to Qualex.  Qualex’s only continued involvement in connection with the sale of the long-term receivables is the servicing of the related equipment under the leases.  Qualex has continued revenue streams in connection with this equipment through future sales of photofinishing consumables, including paper and chemicals, and maintenance.

Although the lessees’ requirement to pay ESF under the lease agreements is not contingent upon Qualex’s fulfillment of its servicing obligations, under the agreement with ESF, Qualex would be responsible for any deficiency in the amount of rent not paid to ESF as a result of any lessee’s claim regarding maintenance or supply services not provided by Qualex.  Such lease payments would be made in accordance with the original lease terms, which generally extend over 5 to 7 years.  To date, the Company has incurred no such material claims, and Qualex does not anticipate any significant situations where it would be unable to fulfill its service obligations under the arrangement with ESF.  ESF’s outstanding lease receivable amount was approximately $113 million at December 31, 2004. 

Effective July 20, 2004, ESF entered into an agreement amending the Receivables Purchase Agreement (RPA), which represents the financing arrangement between ESF and its banks.  Under the amended RPA agreement, maximum borrowings were lowered to $200 million.  On December 17, 2004, ESF terminated the RPA upon payment in full, to its banks, of the then outstanding balance of the RPA totaling $138 million.  Pursuant to the ESF partnership agreement between Qualex and DCC, commencing October 6, 2003, Qualex no longer sells its lease receivables to ESF.  Qualex currently is utilizing the services of Imaging Financial Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of General Electric Capital Corporation, as an alternative financing solution for prospective leasing activity with its U.S. customers.

2003

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased $681 million during 2003 to $1,250 million at December 31, 2003.  The increase resulted primarily from $1,645 million of cash flows from operating activities and $270 million of cash provided by financing activities, partially offset by $1,267 million of cash flows used in investing activities.

The net cash provided by operating activities of $1,645 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 was partially attributable to net earnings of $253 million which, when adjusted for earnings from discontinued operations, equity in losses from unconsolidated affiliates, gain on sale of assets, depreciation and goodwill amortization, purchased research and development, benefit for deferred income taxes and restructuring costs, asset impairments and other charges, provided $1,233 million of operating cash.  Also contributing to net cash provided by operating activities were a decrease in inventories of $118 million, an increase in liabilities excluding borrowings of $103 million, the cash receipt of $19 million in connection with the Sterling Winthrop settlement, a decrease in accounts receivable of $15 million, and the $98 million impact from the change in other items, net.  The net cash used in investing activities of $1,267 million was utilized primarily for business acquisitions of $697 million, of which $59 million related to the purchase of minority interests in China and India, capital expenditures of $497 million, and investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $89 million.  These uses of cash were partially offset by net proceeds from the sale of assets of $24 million.  The net cash provided by financing activities of $270 million was primarily the result of the net increase in borrowings of $588 million and the exercise of employee stock options of $12 million, which were partially offset by dividend payments of $330 million. 

The Company has a dividend policy whereby it makes semi-annual payments which, when declared, will be paid on the Company’s 10th business day each July and December to shareholders of record on the close of the first business day of the preceding month.  On April 15, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $.90 per share on the outstanding common stock of the Company.  This dividend was paid on July 16, 2003 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 2, 2003.  On September 24, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the reduction of the amount of the annual dividend to $.50 per share.  On that same date, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $.25 per share on the outstanding common stock of the Company.  This dividend was paid on December 12, 2003 to the shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 3, 2003.  

Capital additions were $497 million in 2003, with the majority of the spending supporting new products, manufacturing productivity and quality improvements, infrastructure improvements, and ongoing environmental and safety initiatives. 

During 2003, the Company expended $250 million against the related restructuring reserves, primarily for the payment of severance benefits.  Employees whose positions were eliminated could elect to receive severance payments for up to two years following their date of termination.

2002

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased $121 million during 2002 to $569 million at December 31, 2002.  The increase resulted primarily from $2,204 million of cash flows from operating activities, partially offset by $758 million of cash flows used in investing activities and $1,331 million of cash used in financing activities.


PAGE 68

The net cash provided by operating activities of $2,204 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 was partially attributable to (1) net earnings of $770 million which, when adjusted for earnings from discontinued operations, equity in losses from unconsolidated affiliates, gain on sales of assets, depreciation and amortization, and restructuring costs, asset impairments and other charges, and benefit for deferred taxes provided $1,537 million of operating cash, (2) a decrease in accounts receivable of $276 million, (3) a decrease in inventories of $93 million, and (4) proceeds from the surrender of its Company-owned life insurance policies of $187 million.  The net cash used in investing activities of $758 million was utilized primarily for capital expenditures of $571 million, investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $123 million, business acquisitions of $72 million, of which $60 million related to the purchase of minority interests in China and India, and net purchases of marketable securities of $13 million.  These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds from the sale of properties of $27 million.  The net cash used in financing activities of $1,331 million was primarily the result of net debt repayments of $597 million, dividend payments of $525 million and the repurchase of 7.4 million Kodak shares held by the Kodak Retirement Income Plan (KRIP), the Company’s defined benefit plan, for $260 million.  Of the $260 million expended, $205 million was repurchased under the 1999 stock repurchase program, which is now completed.  The balance of the amount expended of $55 million was repurchased under the 2000 stock repurchase program.

Capital additions were $571 million in 2002, with the majority of the spending supporting new products, manufacturing productivity and quality improvements, infrastructure improvements, and ongoing environmental and safety initiatives. 

The cash outflows for severance and exit costs associated with the restructuring charges recorded in 2002 were more than offset by the tax savings associated with the restructuring actions, primarily due to the tax benefit of $46 million relating to the consolidation of its photofinishing operations in Japan recorded in the third quarter 2002 restructuring charge.  During 2002, the Company expended $216 million against the related restructuring reserves, primarily for the payment of severance benefits, which were mostly attributable to the 2001 restructuring actions.  The remaining severance-related actions associated with the total 2001 restructuring charge were completed by the end of the first quarter of 2003, and the remaining severance payments of $6 million at December 31, 2003 were made by the end of 2004.  Employees whose positions were eliminated could elect to receive severance payments for up to two years following their date of termination.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s undiscounted accrued liabilities for environmental remediation costs amounted to $153 million and $141 million, respectively.  These amounts are reported in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.


PAGE 69

The Company is currently implementing a Corrective Action Program required by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) at the Kodak Park site in Rochester, NY.  As part of this program, the Company has completed the RCRA Facility Assessment (RFA), a broad-based environmental investigation of the site.  The Company is currently in the process of completing, and in some cases has completed, RCRA Facility Investigations (RFI) and Corrective Measures Studies (CMS) for areas at the site.  At December 31, 2004, estimated future investigation and remediation costs of $67 million are accrued for this site and are included in the $153 million reported in other long-term liabilities.

The Company announced the closing of three manufacturing facilities outside the United States in 2004.  The Company has obligations with estimated future investigation, remediation and monitoring costs of $21 million at two of these facilities.  At December 31, 2004, these costs are accrued and included in the $153 million reported in other long-term liabilities. 

The Company has obligations relating to other operating sites and former operations with estimated future investigation, remediation and monitoring costs of $35 million.  At December 31, 2004, these costs are accrued and included in the $153 million reported in other long-term liabilities.

The Company has retained certain obligations for environmental remediation and Superfund matters related to certain sites associated with the non-imaging health businesses sold in 1994.  At December 31, 2004, estimated future remediation costs of $30 million are accrued for these sites and are included in the $153 million reported in other long-term liabilities.

Cash expenditures for the aforementioned investigation, remediation and monitoring activities are expected to be incurred over the next thirty years for many of the sites.  For these known environmental exposures, the accrual reflects the Company’s best estimate of the amount it will incur under the agreed-upon or proposed work plans.  The Company’s cost estimates were determined using the ASTM Standard E 2137-01, “Standard Guide for Estimating Monetary Costs and Liabilities for Environmental Matters,” and have not been reduced by possible recoveries from third parties.  The overall method includes the use of a probabilistic model which forecasts a range of cost estimates for the remediation required at individual sites.  The projects are closely monitored and the models are reviewed as significant events occur or at least once per year.  The Company’s estimate includes equipment and operating costs for remediation and long-term monitoring of the sites.  The Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the losses for the known exposures could exceed the current accruals by material amounts.

A Consent Decree was signed in 1994 in settlement of a civil complaint brought by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Justice.  In connection with the Consent Decree, the Company is subject to a Compliance Schedule, under which the Company has improved its waste characterization procedures, upgraded one of its incinerators, and is evaluating and upgrading its industrial sewer system.  The total expenditures required to complete this program are currently estimated to be approximately $15 million over the next five years.  These expenditures are incurred as part of plant operations and, therefore, are not included in the environmental accrual at December 31, 2004.

The Company is presently designated as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (the Superfund Law), or under similar state laws, for environmental assessment and cleanup costs as the result of the Company’s alleged arrangements for disposal of hazardous substances at five such active sites.  With respect to each of these sites, the Company’s liability is minimal.  In addition, the Company has been identified as a PRP in connection with the non-imaging health businesses in four active Superfund sites.  Numerous other PRPs have also been designated at these sites.  Although the law imposes joint and several liability on PRPs, the Company’s historical experience demonstrates that these costs are shared with other PRPs.  Settlements and costs paid by the Company in Superfund matters to date have not been material.  Future costs are also not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Clean Air Act Amendments were enacted in 1990.  Expenditures to comply with the Clean Air Act implementing regulations issued to date have not been material and have been primarily capital in nature.  In addition, future expenditures for existing regulations, which are primarily capital in nature, are not expected to be material.  Many of the regulations to be promulgated pursuant to this Act have not been issued.


PAGE 70

Uncertainties associated with environmental remediation contingencies are pervasive and often result in wide ranges of outcomes.  Estimates developed in the early stages of remediation can vary significantly.  A finite estimate of cost does not normally become fixed and determinable at a specific time.  Rather, the costs associated with environmental remediation become estimable over a continuum of events and activities that help to frame and define a liability, and the Company continually updates its cost estimates.  The Company has an ongoing monitoring and identification process to assess how the activities, with respect to the known exposures, are progressing against the accrued cost estimates, as well as to identify other potential remediation sites that are presently unknown.

Estimates of the amount and timing of future costs of environmental remediation requirements are necessarily imprecise because of the continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements, the availability and application of technology, the identification of presently unknown remediation sites and the allocation of costs among the potentially responsible parties.  Based upon information presently available, such future costs are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s competitive or financial position.  However, such costs could be material to results of operations in a particular future quarter or year.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R), a revision to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123).  SFAS No. 123R eliminates the alternative to use the Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25’s (Opinion 25) intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in SFAS No. 123 as originally issued.

Under Opinion 25, issuing stock options to employees generally resulted in recognition of no compensation cost.  SFAS No. 123R requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service, in exchange for the award - the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).  No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.  

Companies will initially measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of instruments classified as liabilities (Leadership stock, Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)) based on its current fair value; the fair value of the awards classified as a liability will be remeasured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date.  Changes in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that period.

The grant-date fair value of employee share options, or the Company’s restricted stock and similar instruments classified in the Statement of Financial Position as equity will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available); the fair value of awards classified as equity will not be remeasured.  If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. 

Excess tax benefits, as defined by SFAS No. 123R, will be recognized as an addition to paid-in capital.  Cash retained as a result of those excess tax benefits will be presented in the statement of cash flows as financing cash inflows.  The write-off of deferred tax assets relating to unrealized tax benefits associated with recognized compensation cost will be recognized as income tax expense unless there are excess tax benefits from previous awards remaining in paid-in capital to which it can be offset.


PAGE 71

SFAS No. 123R applies to all awards granted after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date.  As of the required effective date, companies that used the fair-value-based method for either recognition or disclosure under SFAS No. 123 will apply SFAS No. 123R using a modified version of prospective application.  Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized on or after the required effective date for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards calculated under SFAS No. 123 for either recognition or pro forma disclosure.  The cumulative effect of initially applying SFAS No. 123R, if any, is recognized as of the required effective date.  SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. 

Early application is encouraged; consequently, the Company adopted the modified version of prospective application of SFAS No. 123R as of January 1, 2005.  The cumulative effect of initial adoption to be recognized in the first interim consolidated statement of earnings for the period ended March 31, 2005, is immaterial.  Management estimates that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will reduce EPS by approximately $.02 per share for the year ended December 31, 2005.

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs” that amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” (ARB No. 43) to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage).  In addition, this Statement requires that an allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.  SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.  Early application is permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after November 23, 2004.  The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 151.

In December 2004, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”).”  The Act, which was signed into law on October 22, 2004, authorizes a tax deduction of up to 9 percent (when fully phased-in) of the lesser of (a) “qualified production activities income,” as defined in the Act, or (b) taxable income (after the deduction for the utilization of any net operating loss carryforwards), limited to 50 percent of W-2 wages paid by the taxpayer.  Accordingly, the FSP provides guidance on accounting for the deduction as a special deduction in accordance with Statement 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  Further, a company should consider the special deduction in (a) measuring deferred taxes when graduated tax rates are a significant factor and (b) assessing whether a valuation allowance is necessary as required by paragraph 232 of Statement 109. The provisions of FSP 109-1 were effective in the fourth quarter of 2004.  The adoption of FSP 109-1 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of options or cash flows.

In December 2004, FASB issued FSP No. 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”).”  The Act, which was signed into law on October 22, 2004, provides for a special one-time tax deduction of 85 percent of certain foreign earnings that are repatriated (as defined in the Act) in either a company’s last tax year that began before the enactment date, or the first tax year that begins during the one-year period beginning on the date of enactment.  Accordingly, the FSP provides guidance on accounting for income taxes that related to the accounting treatment for unremitted earnings in a foreign investment (a consolidated subsidiary or corporate joint venture that is essentially permanent in nature).  Further, the FSP permits a company time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  Accordingly, an enterprise that has not yet completed its evaluation of the repatriation provision for purposes of applying Statement 109 is required to disclose certain information, for each period for which financial statements covering periods affected by the Act are presented.  Subsequently, the total effect on income tax expense (or benefit) for amounts that have been recognized under the repatriation provision must be provided in a company’s financial statements for the period in which it completes its evaluation of the repatriation provision. The provisions of FSP 109-2 are effective immediately.  As of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company has not yet completed its evaluation; consequently, the required information is disclosed in Note 15, “Income Taxes.”

RISK FACTORS

Set forth below and elsewhere in this report and in other documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission are risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual future results of the Company to differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements contained in this document and other public statements the Company makes.  Additionally, because of the following risks and uncertainties, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, the Company’s past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of future performance and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

If we do not effectively implement our new digitally oriented growth strategy, this could adversely affect our operations, revenue and ability to compete.

Kodak is emphasizing digital technology and expanding into a range of commercial businesses in order to create a more balanced and diversified business portfolio while accelerating the implementation of its existing digital product strategies in the consumer markets.  Kodak expects to incur restructuring charges in relation to these initiatives.  The expected benefits from these initiatives are subject to many estimates and assumptions, including assumptions regarding: (1) the amount and timing of cost savings and cash flow that Kodak can achieve from its traditional consumer film and paper businesses; (2) the speed at which consumer transition from traditional photography to digital photography occurs; (3) Kodak’s ability to develop new digital businesses in its commercial, consumer and health markets; (4) Kodak’s ability to identify, complete and integrate compatible strategic acquisitions consistent with its growth timeline; and (5) the costs and timing of activities undertaken in connection with these initiatives.  In addition, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant economic, competitive and other uncertainties that are beyond Kodak’s control.  If these assumptions are not realized, or if other unforeseen events occur, Kodak’s results of operations could be adversely affected, as it may not be able to grow its business, and its ability to compete could be negatively affected.

If we cannot manage our product and services transition or continue to develop and deploy new products and services, this could adversely affect our revenues.

Unanticipated delays in implementing certain product strategies (including digital products, category expansion and digitization) could adversely affect Kodak’s revenues.  Kodak’s ability to successfully transition its existing products and develop and deploy new products requires that Kodak make accurate predictions of the product development schedule as well as volumes, product mix, customer demand, sales channels, and configuration.  The process of developing new products and services is complex and often uncertain due to the frequent introduction of new products that offer improved performance and pricing.  Kodak may anticipate demand and perceived market acceptance that differs from the product’s realizable customer demand and revenue stream.  Further, in the face of intense industry competition, any delay in the development, production or marketing of a new product could decrease any advantage Kodak may have to be the first or among the first to market.  Kodak’s failure to carry out a product rollout in the time frame anticipated and in the quantities appropriate to customer demand, or at all, could adversely affect future demand for Kodak’s products and services and have an adverse effect on its business.

Our revenue, earnings and expenses may suffer if we cannot continue to enforce our licensing agreements and intellectual property rights.

Kodak’s ability to implement its intellectual property licensing strategies could also affect the Company’s revenue and earnings.  Kodak has made substantial investments in technologies and needs to protect its intellectual property as well as the interests of other licensees.  The establishment and enforcement of licensing agreements provides a revenue stream in the form of royalties that protects Kodak’s ability to further innovate and help the marketplace grow.  Kodak’s failure to properly manage the development of its intellectual property could adversely affect the future of these patents and the market opportunities that could result from the use of this property.  Kodak’s failure to manage the costs associated with the pursuit of these licenses could adversely affect the profitability of these operations.


PAGE 73

Our inability to develop and implement e-commerce strategies that align with industry standards, could adversely affect our business.

In the event Kodak were unable to develop and implement e-commerce strategies that are in alignment with the trend toward industry standards and services, the Company’s business could be adversely affected.  The availability of software and standards related to e-commerce strategies is of an emerging nature.  Kodak’s ability to successfully align with the industry standards and services and ensure timely solutions, requires the Company to make accurate predictions of the future accepted standards and services.

System integration issues could adversely affect our revenues and earnings.

Kodak’s completion of planned information systems upgrades, including SAP, if delayed, could adversely affect its business.  As Kodak continues to expand the planned information services, the Company must continue to balance the investment of the planned deployment with the need to upgrade the vendor software.  Kodak’s failure to successfully upgrade to the vendor-supported version could result in risks to system availability, which could adversely affect the business.

Our inability to manage our acquisitions, divestitures and other portfolio actions could adversely impact our revenues and earnings.

Kodak has recently completed various business acquisitions and intends to complete various other business acquisitions in the future, particularly in its Health and Graphic Communications segments, in order to strengthen and diversify its portfolio of businesses.  At the same time, Kodak needs to streamline and simplify its traditional businesses, including its photofinishing operations in the United States and EAMER.  In the event that Kodak fails to effectively manage the portfolio of its more traditional businesses while simultaneously integrating these acquisitions, it could fail to obtain the expected synergies and favorable impact of these acquisitions.  Such a failure could cause Kodak to lose market opportunities and experience a resulting adverse impact on its revenues and earnings.

In 2005, Kodak continues to focus on reduction of inventories, improvement in receivable performance, improvement in manufacturing productivity and the completion of focused capital expenditures.

If we do not timely implement our planned inventory reductions, this could adversely affect our cash flow.

          Unanticipated delays in the Company’s plans to continue inventory reductions in 2005 could adversely impact Kodak’s cash flow outlook. Planned inventory reductions could be compromised by slower sales that could result from accelerated digital replacement or continued weak global economic conditions.  Purchasers’ uncertainty about traditional product demand or the extent of the global economic downturn could result in lower demand for products and services.  In addition, the competitive environment and the transition to digital products and services could also place pressures on Kodak’s sales and market share.  In the event Kodak is unable to successfully manage these issues in a timely manner, they could adversely impact the planned inventory reductions.

Delays in our plans to continue to improve our accounts receivable collections could adversely impact our cash flow.

          Unanticipated delays in the Company’s plans to continue the improvement of its accounts receivable collection could also adversely impact Kodak’s cash outlook.  A continued weak economy could slow customer payment patterns.  In addition, competitive pressures in major segments may cause the financial condition of certain of Kodak’s customers to deteriorate.  These same pressures may adversely affect the Company’s efforts to shorten customer payment terms.  Kodak’s ability to manage customer risk while maintaining a competitive market share may adversely affect continued accounts receivable improvement in 2005.


PAGE 74

Delays in our plans to improve manufacturing productivity and control cost of operations could negatively impact our gross margins.

          Delays in Kodak’s plans to improve manufacturing productivity and control costs of operations could negatively impact the gross margins of the Company.  Kodak’s failure to successfully manage operational performance factors could delay or curtail planned improvements in manufacturing productivity.  Accelerating digital substitution could result in lower volumes in the factory than planned, which would also negatively impact gross margins.  If Kodak is unable to successfully negotiate raw material costs with its suppliers, or incurs adverse pricing on certain of its commodity-based raw materials, reduction in the gross margins could occur.  Additionally, delays in the Company’s execution of increasing manufacturing capabilities for certain of its products in some of its emerging markets, particularly China where it is more cost competitive, could adversely impact gross margins.

If we fail to execute our capital spending plan, this could adversely impact our cash flow.

          If Kodak exceeds its 2005 capital spending plan, this factor could adversely impact the Company’s cash flow outlook.  Further, if Kodak deems it necessary to spend more on regulatory requirements or if unanticipated general maintenance obligations arise that require more capital spending than planned, the increased spending could have an adverse impact on Kodak’s cash flow.

If our planned improvements in supply chain efficiency are delayed, this could adversely affect our revenues and earnings.

Kodak’s planned improvement in supply chain efficiency, if delayed, could adversely affect its business by preventing shipments of certain products to be made in their desired quantities and in a timely manner.  The planned efficiencies could be compromised if Kodak expands into new markets with new applications that are not fully understood or if the portfolio broadens beyond that anticipated when the plans were initiated.  The unforeseen changes in manufacturing capacity could also compromise the supply chain efficiencies.

The competitive pressures we face could harm our revenue, gross margins and market share.

Competition remains intense in the imaging sector in the Digital & Film Imaging Systems, Graphic Communications and Health segments.  In the D&FIS segment, price competition has been driven somewhat by consumers’ conservative spending behaviors during times of a weak world economy, international tensions and the accompanying concern over war and terrorism.  In the Health and Graphic Communications segments, aggressive pricing tactics intensified in the contract negotiations as competitors were vying for customers and market share domestically.  If the pricing and programs are not sufficiently competitive with those offered by Kodak’s current and future competitors, Kodak may lose market share, adversely affecting its revenue and gross margins.

If we fail to manage distribution of our products and services properly, our revenue, gross margins and earnings could be adversely impacted.

The impact of continuing customer consolidation and buying power could have an adverse impact on Kodak’s revenue, gross margins, and earnings.  In the competitive consumer retail environment, there is a movement from small individually owned retailers to larger and commonly known mass merchants.  In the commercial environment, there is a continuing consolidation of various group purchasing organizations.  The resellers and distributors may elect to use suppliers other than Kodak.  Kodak’s challenge is to successfully negotiate contracts that provide the most favorable conditions to the Company in the face of price and aggressive competitors.


PAGE 75

Economic uncertainty in developing markets could affect adversely, our revenue and earnings.

Kodak conducts business in developing markets with economies that tend to be more volatile than those in the United States and Western Europe.  The risk of doing business in developing markets like China, India, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Russia and other economically volatile areas could adversely affect Kodak’s operations and earnings.  Such risks include the financial instability among customers in these regions, political instability and potential conflicts among developing nations and other non-economic factors such as irregular trade flows that need to be managed successfully with the help of the local governments.  Kodak’s failure to successfully manage economic, political and other risks relating to doing business in developing countries and economically and politically volatile areas could adversely affect its business.

Because we sell our products and services worldwide, we are subject to changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates that may adversely impact our operations and financial position.

Kodak, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates, which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial position.  Exchange rates and interest rates in certain markets in which the Company does business tend to be more volatile than those in the United States and Western Europe.  For example, in early 2002, the United States dollar was eliminated as Argentina’s monetary benchmark, resulting in significant currency devaluation.  There can be no guarantees that the economic situation in developing markets or elsewhere will not worsen, which could result in future effects on earnings should such events occur.

SUMMARY OF OPERATING DATA

A summary of operating data for 2004 and for the four years prior is shown on page 159.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

The Company, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates, which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial position.  In seeking to minimize the risks associated with such activities, the Company may enter into derivative contracts.

Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, especially those of the Company’s International Treasury Center, as well as forecasted foreign currency denominated intercompany sales.  Silver forward contracts are used to mitigate the Company’s risk to fluctuating silver prices.  The Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates results from its investing and borrowing activities used to meet its liquidity needs.  Long-term debt is generally used to finance long-term investments, while short-term debt is used to meet working capital requirements.  The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of open forward contracts using available forward rates, if the U.S. dollar had been 10% weaker at December 31, 2004 and 2003, the fair value of open forward contracts would have increased $62 million and $23 million, respectively.  Such gains or losses would be substantially offset by losses or gains from the revaluation or settlement of the underlying positions hedged.

Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of open forward contracts using available forward prices, if available forward silver prices had been 10% lower at December 31, 2004 and 2003, the fair value of open forward contracts would have decreased $1 million and $1 million, respectively.  Such losses in fair value, if realized, would be offset by lower costs of manufacturing silver-containing products.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its borrowing activities and, to a lesser extent, through investments in marketable securities.  The Company may utilize borrowings to fund its working capital and investment needs.  The majority of short-term and long-term borrowings are in fixed-rate instruments.  There is inherent roll-over risk for borrowings and marketable securities as they mature and are renewed at current market rates.  The extent of this risk is not predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements.

Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings, if available market interest rates had been 10% (about 40 basis points) higher at December 31, 2004, the fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings would have decreased $1 million and $59 million, respectively.  Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings, if available market interest rates had been 10% (about 43 basis points) higher at December 31, 2003, the fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings would have decreased $2 million and $70 million, respectively.

The Company’s financial instrument counterparties are high-quality investment or commercial banks with significant experience with such instruments.  The Company manages exposure to counterparty credit risk by requiring specific minimum credit standards and diversification of counterparties.  The Company has procedures to monitor the credit exposure amounts.  The maximum credit exposure at December 31, 2004 was not significant to the Company.

ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Eastman Kodak Company:

We have completed an integrated audit of Eastman Kodak Company’s 2004 consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 and audits of its 2003 and 2002 consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits are presented below.

Consolidated financial statements

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) and (2) on page 165 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eastman Kodak Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit of financial statements 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 described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its 2003 consolidated financial statements primarily for certain income tax and pension and other postretirement benefit plans matters. 

Internal control over financial reporting

Also, we have audited management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that Eastman Kodak Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, because the Company did not maintain effective controls over the accounting for income taxes including income taxes payable, deferred income tax assets and liabilities and the related income tax provision and the valuation and recording of its pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and expenses, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.  Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.


PAGE 78

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

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

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessments:

Accounting for Income Taxes:

As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain effective controls over the accounting for income taxes including income taxes payable, deferred income tax assets and liabilities and the related income tax provision.  Specifically, the Company had a lack of local tax law expertise or failure to engage local tax law expertise resulting in the incorrect assumption of reduced tax expense associated with restructuring charges in various foreign locations in 2004 and 2003; inadequate knowledge and application of the provisions of generally accepted accounting principles by tax personnel resulting in errors in the accounting for income taxes; lack of clarity in roles and responsibilities within the global tax organization related to income tax accounting; insufficient or ineffective review and approval practices within the global tax and finance organizations resulting in the errors not being prevented or detected in a timely manner; and a lack of processes to effectively reconcile the income tax general ledger accounts to supporting detail and adequate verification of data used in computations.  This material weakness contributed to the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 2003, for each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the first, second and third quarters for 2004, and in the Company recording audit adjustments to the fourth quarter 2004 financial statements.  Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of income taxes payable, deferred income tax assets and liabilities and the related income tax provision that would result in a material misstatement to annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. 

Accounting for Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans:

As of December 31, 2004 the Company did not maintain effective controls over the valuation and recording of its pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and expenses.  Specifically, the Company has a deficiency in the design of controls to validate actual versus estimated benefit payments in the accounting for other postretirement benefits.  The design deficiency was an erroneous belief that actual payment data could not be captured at the required level of detail to enable adjustment of actuarial estimates on a quarterly basis.  In addition, the Company had a failure to demonstrate operating effectiveness in controls surrounding reconciliation of participant census data between source systems and the plan actuary models for various domestic and international pension and other postretirement benefit plans.  While analytical procedures to validate the reasonableness of census data extracts were employed, they were not sufficiently robust to prevent or detect errors in census data.  This material weakness resulted in adjustments that were included in the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 2003, for each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the first, second and third quarters for 2004, and in the Company recording adjustments to the fourth quarter 2004 financial statements.  Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of pension and other postretirement obligations and expenses that would result in a material misstatement to annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.  


PAGE 79

These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2004 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded the NexPress-related entities and Scitex Digital Printing (renamed Kodak Versamark) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 because they were acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during 2004.  We have also excluded the NexPress-related entities and Kodak Versamark from our audit of internal control over financial reporting.  The NexPress-related entities and Kodak Versamark are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company that represent 2% and 2%, respectively, of consolidated total assets and 1% and 1%, respectively, of consolidated revenue as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that Eastman Kodak Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.  Also, in our opinion, because of the effects of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Eastman Kodak Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

Eastman Kodak Company
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RESTATEMENT

COMPANY OPERATIONS

Eastman Kodak Company (the Company or Kodak) is engaged primarily in developing, manufacturing, and marketing traditional and digital imaging products, services and solutions to consumers, the entertainment industry, professionals, healthcare providers and other customers.  The Company’s products are manufactured in a number of countries in North and South America, Europe and Asia.  The Company’s products are marketed and sold in many countries throughout the world.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kodak and its majority owned subsidiary companies.  Intercompany transactions are eliminated and net earnings are reduced by the portion of the net earnings of subsidiaries applicable to minority interests.  The equity method of accounting is used for joint ventures and investments in associated companies over which Kodak has significant influence, but does not have effective control.  Significant influence is generally deemed to exist when the Company has an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee of between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’s Board of Directors, voting rights and the impact of commercial arrangements, are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate.  Income and losses of investments accounted for using the equity method are reported in other income (charges), net, in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings.  See Note 7, “Investments,” and Note 14, “Other Income (Charges), Net.”

The cost method of accounting is used for investments in equity securities that do not have a readily determined market value and when the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.  These investments are carried at cost and are adjusted only for other-than-temporary declines in fair value.  The carrying value of these investments is reported in other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003.  In addition, the Company restated its quarterly consolidated financial statements for each of the quarterly periods in 2003 and for the first three quarters of 2004.  The restatement reflects adjustments to correct errors in the Company’s accounting for income taxes, accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits as well as other miscellaneous adjustments.  The restatement resulted in the Company adjusting its previously reported 2003 net income of $265 million ($.92 per share) to net income of $253 million ($.88 per share).  The nature and impact of these adjustments are described below. Also see Note 24: “Quarterly Sales and Earnings Data - Unaudited” for the impact of these adjustments on each of the quarterly periods.

Income Taxes

During the year-end closing process, errors were discovered relating to the Company’s accounting for income taxes, the majority of which related to the Company’s foreign operations.  The more significant errors that were discovered related to matters surrounding 1) inappropriately recognizing tax benefits, including the timing of the recognition of valuation allowances, associated with net operating loss carry forwards, 2) the recording of benefits for certain restructuring charges that were not deductible for income tax purposes, 3) correcting deferred income tax accounts  in certain foreign subsidiaries, and 4) accruing interest expense on potential tax settlements with the Internal Revenue Service (more fully discussed in Note 15).  Excluding the impact of income tax adjustments relating to periods prior to 2003, which are discussed below, the impact of these adjustments on previously reported 2003 net income amounted to a reduction of $1 million.

Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits

During the year-end testing of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, the Company identified ineffective controls surrounding the reconciliation of participant census data between the Company’s source systems and the information provided to the actuary in performing the actuarial valuation of the liabilities and net periodic benefits cost for the various domestic and international pension and other postretirement benefit plans.  This control weakness resulted in incorrect participant data being utilized in the actuarial calculations.  In addition, the Company had identified an error in the recorded amounts of its postretirement benefits expense.  The Company has quantified the effect of these errors and, excluding the impact of pension and other postretirement benefit adjustments relating to periods prior to 2003 which are discussed below, the Company has reduced its previously reported 2003 net income by $6.1 million.

Other Adjustments

During 2004, the Company determined that its general ledger accounting system was inappropriately translating depreciation expense from its foreign operations, using an historical exchange rate rather than a current exchange rate for purposes of translating periodic depreciation expense.  Excluding amounts relating to periods prior to 2003, which are discussed below, the impact of this adjustment on previously reported 2003 net income amounted to a reduction of $ 14.8 million.


PAGE 88

During 2003, the Company recorded a charge to write-off an exclusivity payment made to a customer that had previously been recorded as an asset based on the Company’s ability to recover a pro-rata portion of the payment in the event of a customer breach.  The Company determined that this payment should have been written off prior to January 1, 2003. Excluding amounts relating to periods prior to 2003, which are discussed below, the impact of this adjustment on previously reported 2003 net income amounted to an increase of $ 13.3 million.

In addition, the Company also determined that a number of individually immaterial adjustments were recorded in 2003 that more appropriately belonged in periods prior to January 1, 2003.  Excluding amounts relating to periods prior to 2003, which are discussed below, the impact of this adjustment on previously reported 2003 net income amounted to a decrease of $2.5 million.

Adjustments relating to periods prior to 2003

As discussed above, certain of the adjustments, or portions thereof, made to restate the Company’s 2003 financial statements relate to periods prior to January 1, 2003.  The following table summarizes these:

(In millions)

The Company has assessed the impact of the above items on each annual period prior to January 1, 2003 and determined that the impact of such errors is immaterial to each prior period.  In addition, the Company has concluded that the net $1.2 million adjustment is immaterial to the net income, as adjusted, for the first quarter of and for the full year ended December 31, 2003.  Accordingly, the Company has recorded this net adjustment of $1.2 million as an addition to Selling, General and Administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at year end, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

For most subsidiaries and branches outside the U.S., the local currency is the functional currency.  In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” the financial statements of these subsidiaries and branches are translated into U.S. dollars as follows: assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates; income, expenses and cash flows at average exchange rates; and shareholders’ equity at historical exchange rates.  For those subsidiaries for which the local currency is the functional currency, the resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  Translation adjustments are not tax-effected since they relate to investments, which are permanent in nature.


PAGE 92

For certain other subsidiaries and branches, operations are conducted primarily in U.S. dollars, which is therefore the functional currency.  Monetary assets and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts, of these foreign subsidiaries and branches are remeasured at year-end exchange rates.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts, are remeasured at historical rates.  Adjustments, which result from the remeasurement of the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries, are included in net income.

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in net income.  The effects of foreign currency transactions, including related hedging activities, were losses of $10 million, $10 million, and $19 million in the years 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, and are included in other income (charges), net, in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings.  Refer to the “Derivative Financial Instruments” section of Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies,” for a description of how hedging activities are reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings. 

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, foreign currency forward contracts and commodity forward contracts.  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one institution.  With respect to receivables, such receivables arise from sales to numerous customers in a variety of industries, markets, and geographies around the world.  Receivables arising from these sales are generally not collateralized.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and no single customer accounts for greater than 10% of the sales of the Company.  The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses, in the aggregate, have not exceeded management’s expectations.  With respect to the foreign currency forward contracts and commodity forward contracts, the counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions.  The Company has not experienced non-performance by any of its counterparties.

Additionally, the Company guarantees debt and other obligations with certain unconsolidated affiliates and customers, which could potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk.  However, with the exception of the Company’s total debt guarantees for which there is a concentration with one of Kodak’s unconsolidated affiliate companies, these guarantees relate to numerous customers in a variety of industries, markets and geographies around the world.  The Company does not believe that material payments will be required under any of its guarantee arrangements.  See Note 12, “Guarantees.”

CASH EQUIVALENTS

All highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND NONCURRENT INVESTMENTS

The Company classifies its investment securities as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading.  The Company’s debt and equity investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity and available-for-sale, respectively.  Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost and available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in shareholders’ equity under the caption accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.  The Company records losses that are other than temporary to earnings.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had short-term investments classified as held-to-maturity of $3 million and $11 million, respectively.  These investments were included in other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  In addition, at December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had available-for-sale equity securities of $25 million and $34 million, respectively, included in other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  The cost of most inventories in the U.S. is determined by the “last-in, first-out” (LIFO) method.  The cost of all of the Company’s remaining inventories in and outside the U.S. is determined by the “first-in, first-out” (FIFO) or average cost method, which approximates current cost.  The Company provides inventory reserves for excess, obsolete or slow-moving inventory based on changes in customer demand, technology developments or other economic factors.

PROPERTIES

Properties are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.  The Company principally calculates depreciation expense using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which are as follows:

 

 

 

Years

 

 

 

 


 

Buildings and building equipment

 

 

10-40

 

Land improvements

 

 

10-20

 

Leasehold improvements

 

 

3-10

 

Machinery and production equipment

 

 

3-20

 

Power plant equipment

 

 

5-20

 

Transportation equipment

 

 

3-5

 

Tooling

 

 

3

 

Office equipment, including computers

 

 

3-7

 

Furniture and fixtures

 

 

3-15

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Upon sale or other disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount, less proceeds from disposal, is charged or credited to income.

GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired.  The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill is not amortized, but is required to be assessed for impairment at least annually.  The Company has elected to make September 30 the annual impairment assessment date for all of its reporting units, and will perform additional impairment tests when events or changes in circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.  SFAS No. 142 defines a reporting unit as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment.  The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units through internal analyses and external valuations, which utilize income and market approaches through the application of capitalized earnings, discounted cash flow and market comparable methods.  The assessment is required to be performed in two steps, step one to test for a potential impairment of goodwill and, if potential losses are identified, step two to measure the impairment loss.  The Company completed step one in its fourth quarter and determined that there were no such impairments.  Accordingly, the performance of step two was not required. 

REVENUE

The Company’s revenue transactions include sales of the following:  products; equipment; software; services; equipment bundled with products and/or services; and integrated solutions.  The Company recognizes revenue when realized or realizable and earned, which is when the following criteria are met:  persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured.  At the time revenue is recognized, the Company provides for the estimated costs of customer incentive programs, warranties and estimated returns and reduces revenue accordingly.


PAGE 94

For product sales, the recognition criteria are generally met when title and risk of loss have transferred from the Company to the buyer, which may be upon shipment or upon delivery to the customer site, based on contract terms or legal requirements in foreign jurisdictions.  Service revenues are recognized as such services are rendered.

For equipment sales, the recognition criteria are generally met when the equipment is delivered and installed at the customer site.  Revenue is recognized for equipment upon delivery as opposed to upon installation when there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value for the installation, and the amount of revenue allocable to the equipment is not legally contingent upon the completion of the installation.  In instances in which the agreement with the customer contains a customer acceptance clause, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance is obtained, provided the customer acceptance clause is considered to be substantive.  For certain agreements, the Company does not consider these customer acceptance clauses to be substantive because the Company can and does replicate the customer acceptance test environment and performs the agreed upon product testing prior to shipment.  In these instances, revenue is recognized upon installation of the equipment.

Revenue for the sale of software licenses is recognized when: (1) the Company enters into a legally binding arrangement with a customer for the license of software; (2) the Company delivers the software; (3) customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties; and (4) collection from the customer is probable.  If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, the fee is deferred and revenue is recognized at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of payment.  Software maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the related maintenance period. 

The Company’s transactions may involve the sale of equipment, software, and related services under multiple element arrangements.  The Company allocates revenue to the various elements based on verifiable objective evidence of fair value (if software is not included or is incidental to the transaction) or Kodak-specific objective evidence of fair value if software is included and is other than incidental to the sales transaction as a whole.  Revenue allocated to an individual element is recognized when all other revenue recognition criteria are met for that element.

Revenue from the sale of integrated solutions, which includes transactions that require significant production, modification or customization of software, is recognized in accordance with contract accounting.  Under contract accounting, revenue is recognized by utilizing either the percentage-of-completion or completed-contract method.  The Company currently utilizes the completed-contract method for all solution sales, as sufficient history does not currently exist to allow the Company to accurately estimate total costs to complete these transactions.  Revenue from other long-term contracts, primarily government contracts, is generally recognized using the percentage-of-completion method.

At the time revenue is recognized, the Company also records reductions to revenue for customer incentive programs in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given from a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products).”  Such incentive programs include cash and volume discounts, price protection, promotional, cooperative and other advertising allowances, and coupons.  For those incentives that require the estimation of sales volumes or redemption rates, such as for volume rebates or coupons, the Company uses historical experience and internal and customer data to estimate the sales incentive at the time revenue is recognized. 

In instances where the Company provides slotting fees or similar arrangements, this incentive is recognized as a reduction in revenue when payment is made to the customer (or at the time the Company has incurred the obligation, if earlier) unless the Company receives a benefit over a period of time, in which case the incentive is recorded as an asset and is amortized as a reduction of revenue over the term of the arrangement.  Arrangements in which the Company receives an identifiable benefit include arrangements that have enforceable exclusivity provisions and those that provide a clawback provision entitling the Company to a pro rata reimbursement if the customer does not fulfill its obligations under the contract. 


PAGE 95

The Company may offer customer financing to assist customers in their acquisition of Kodak’s products.  At the time a financing transaction is consummated, which qualifies as a sales-type lease, the Company records equipment revenue equal to the total lease receivable net of unearned income.  Unearned income is recognized as finance income using the effective interest method over the term of the lease.  Leases not qualifying as sales-type leases are accounted for as operating leases.  The Company recognizes revenue from operating leases on an accrual basis as the rental payments become due. 

The Company’s sales of tangible products are the only class of revenues that exceeds 10% of total consolidated net sales.  All other sales classes are individually less than 10%, and therefore, have been combined with the sales of tangible products on the same line in accordance with Regulation S-X.

Incremental direct acquisition costs such as commissions (i.e. costs that vary with and are directly related to the acquisition of a contract which would not have been incurred but for the acquisition of the contract) are expensed as incurred and included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Research and development (R&D) costs, which include costs in connection with new product development, fundamental and exploratory research, process improvement, product use technology and product accreditation, are charged to operations in the period in which they are incurred.  In connection with a business combination, the purchase price allocated to research and development projects that have not yet reached technological feasibility and for which no alternative future use exists is charged to operations in the period of acquisition.  R&D costs were $854 million, $776 million and $757 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  

ADVERTISING

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings.  Advertising expenses amounted to $513 million, $596 million and $630 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS

Amounts charged to customers and costs incurred by the Company related to shipping and handling are included in net sales and cost of goods sold, respectively, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-10, “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs.”

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  Under the guidance of SFAS No. 144, the Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, other than goodwill and purchased intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets by first grouping its long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, by estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with and that are expected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group.  The Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group.  If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge to the extent the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.  The Company determines fair value through quoted market prices in active markets or, if quoted market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analyses of discounted cash flows or external appraisals.


PAGE 96

In connection with its assessment of recoverability of its long-lived assets and its ongoing strategic review of the business and its operations, the Company continually reviews the remaining useful lives of its long-lived assets.  If this review indicates that the remaining useful life of the long-lived asset has been reduced, the Company adjusts the depreciation on that asset to facilitate full cost recovery over its revised estimated remaining useful life. 

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”  All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value.  Certain derivatives are designated and accounted for as hedges.  The Company does not use derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes.

The Company uses cash flow hedges to manage foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk, and interest rate risk related to forecasted transactions.  The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts to offset currency-related changes in foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.  These foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as accounting hedges and all changes in fair value are recognized in earnings in the period of change.

The fair values of foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency denominated intercompany sales are reported in other current assets and/or current liabilities, and the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivatives is recorded in other comprehensive income.  When the related inventory is sold to third parties, the hedge gains or losses as of the date of the intercompany sale are transferred from other comprehensive income to cost of goods sold. 

The fair values of silver forward contracts designated as hedges of forecasted worldwide silver purchases are reported in other current assets and/or current liabilities, and the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income.  When the silver-containing products are sold to third parties, the hedge gains or losses as of the date of the purchase of raw silver are transferred from other comprehensive income to cost of goods sold.

ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized, as appropriate.  Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that do not provide future benefits are expensed as incurred.  Costs that are capital in nature and that provide future benefits are capitalized.  Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments are made or the requirement for remedial efforts is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated.  The timing of accruing for these remediation liabilities is generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies.

The Company has an ongoing monitoring and identification process to assess how the activities, with respect to the known exposures, are progressing against the accrued cost estimates, as well as to identify other potential remediation sites that are presently unknown.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  The asset and liability approach underlying SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities.  Management provides valuation allowances against the net deferred tax asset for amounts that are not considered more likely than not to be realized.


PAGE 97

EARNINGS PER SHARE

In November 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force finalized the consensus in Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share” (EITF 04-8).  EITF 04-8 requires that contingent convertible instruments be included in diluted earnings per share regardless of whether a market price trigger or other contingent feature has been met.  EITF 04-8 is effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004 and requires restatement of prior periods.  The Company currently has approximately $575 million in contingent convertible notes (the Convertible Securities) outstanding that were issued in October 2003.  Interest on the Convertible Securities accrues at a rate of 3.375% and is payable semi-annually.  The Convertible Securities are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 32.2373 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 principal of the Convertible Securities.  The Company’s diluted net earnings per share includes the effect of EITF 04-8, which had no material impact on the Company’s reported diluted earnings per share.     

Basic earnings-per-share computations are based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.  Diluted earnings-per-share calculations reflect the assumed exercise and conversion of employee stock options that have an exercise price that is below the average market price of the common shares for the respective periods as well as shares related to the assumed conversion of the Convertible Securities, if dilutive.  The reconciliation between the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings-per-share computations is presented as follows:

Options to purchase 32.5 million, 35.9 million and 26.8 million shares of common stock at weighted-average per share prices of $52.47, $51.63 and $58.83 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were outstanding during the years presented but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive, meaning that the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares for the respective periods. 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for its employee stock incentive plans under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and the related interpretations under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation.”  Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net earnings for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.


PAGE 98

On February 18, 2004, the Company announced that it will begin expensing stock options starting January 1, 2005 using the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”  In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” a new accounting standard that will require the expensing of stock options as of the beginning of interim or annual reporting periods that begin after June 15, 2005.  Early adoption is permitted for all companies; consequently, on January 1, 2005, the Company early adopted the stock option expensing rules of the new standard.

The Company has determined the pro forma net earnings and net earnings per share information as if the fair value method of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” had been applied to its stock-based employee compensation.  The pro forma information is as follows:

The total stock-based employee compensation amount, net of related tax effects, for the year ended December 31, 2002, of $105 million includes a net of tax expense impact of $50 million representing the grant of approximately 16 million new options awarded on August 26, 2002 in relation to the voluntary stock option exchange program.  These options were essentially fully vested at the date of grant.

Additionally, the 2002 total stock-based employee compensation expense amount of $105 million, net of taxes, includes a net of tax expense impact of $34 million representing the unamortized compensation cost of the options that were canceled in connection with the 2002 voluntary stock option exchange program.  See Note 20, “Stock Options and Compensation Plans.”

The weighted-average fair value per option granted in 2004 was $8.77.  The weighted-average fair value per option granted in 2003 was $7.70.  The weighted-average fair value per option granted in 2002 was $8.22 for the 2000 Plan and $5.99 for the voluntary stock option exchange program. 

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to compensation expense over the options’ vesting period (1-3 years).

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements.  SFAS No. 130 requires that all items required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement with the same prominence as other financial statements.  Comprehensive income consists of net earnings, the net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments qualifying for cash flow hedge accounting, and is presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity in accordance with SFAS No. 130.

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company reports net sales, operating earnings (losses), net earnings and certain expense, asset and geographical information about its reportable segments.  Reportable segments are components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  In September 2004, the Company announced an organizational realignment that will change the current reportable segment structure.  See Note 23, “Segment Information,” for a discussion of this change.


PAGE 100

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123R, a revision to SFAS No. 123.  SFAS No. 123R eliminates the alternative to use the Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25’s (Opinion 25) intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in SFAS No. 123 as originally issued.

Under Opinion 25, issuing stock options to employees generally resulted in recognition of no compensation cost.  SFAS No. 123R requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service, in exchange for the award - the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).  No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.  

Companies will initially measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of instruments classified as liabilities (Leadership stock, Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)) based on its current fair value; the fair value of the awards classified as a liability will be remeasured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date.  Changes in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that period.

The grant-date fair value of employee share options, or the Company’s restricted stock and similar instruments classified in the Statement of Financial Position as equity will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available); the fair value of awards classified as equity will not be remeasured.  If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. 

Excess tax benefits, as defined by SFAS No. 123R, will be recognized as an addition to paid-in capital.  Cash retained as a result of those excess tax benefits will be presented in the statement of cash flows as financing cash inflows.  The write-off of deferred tax assets relating to unrealized tax benefits associated with recognized compensation cost will be recognized as income tax expense unless there are excess tax benefits from previous awards remaining in paid-in capital to which it can be offset.

SFAS No. 123R applies to all awards granted after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date.  As of the required effective date, companies that used the fair-value-based method for either recognition or disclosure under SFAS No. 123 will apply SFAS No. 123R using a modified version of prospective application.  Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized on or after the required effective date for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards calculated under SFAS No. 123 for either recognition or pro forma disclosure.  The cumulative effect of initially applying SFAS No. 123R, if any, is recognized as of the required effective date.  SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. 

Early application is encouraged; consequently, the Company adopted the modified version of prospective application of SFAS No. 123R as of January 1, 2005.  The cumulative effect of initial adoption to be recognized in the first interim consolidated statement of earnings for the period ended March 31, 2005, is immaterial.  Management estimates that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will reduce EPS by approximately $.02 per share for the year ended December 31, 2005.

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs” that amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” (ARB No. 43) to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage).  In addition, this Statement requires that an allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.  SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.  The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 151.


PAGE 101

In December 2004, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”).”  The Act, which was signed into law on October 22, 2004, authorizes a tax deduction of up to 9 percent (when fully phased-in) of the lesser of (a) “qualified production activities income,” as defined in the Act, or (b) taxable income (after the deduction for the utilization of any net operating loss carryforwards), limited to 50 percent of W-2 wages paid by the taxpayer.  Accordingly, the FSP provides guidance on accounting for the deduction as a special deduction in accordance with Statement 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  Further, a company should consider the special deduction in (a) measuring deferred taxes when graduated tax rates are a significant factor and (b) assessing whether a valuation allowance is necessary as required by paragraph 232 of Statement 109. The provisions of FSP 109-1 were effective in the fourth quarter of 2004.  The adoption of FSP 109-1 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of options or cash flows.

In December 2004, FASB issued FSP No. 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”).”  The Act, which was signed into law on October 22, 2004, provides for a special one-time tax deduction of 85 percent of certain foreign earnings that are repatriated (as defined in the Act) in either a company’s last tax year that began before the enactment date, or the first tax year that begins during the one-year period beginning on the date of enactment.  Accordingly, the FSP provides guidance on accounting for income taxes that related to the accounting treatment for unremitted earnings in a foreign investment (a consolidated subsidiary or corporate joint venture that is essentially permanent in nature).  Further, the FSP permits a company time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  Accordingly, an enterprise that has not yet completed its evaluation of the repatriation provision for purposes of applying Statement 109 is required to disclose certain information, for each period for which financial statements covering periods affected by the Act are presented.  Subsequently, the total effect on income tax expense (or benefit) for amounts that have been recognized under the repatriation provision must be provided in a company’s financial statements for the period in which it completes its evaluation of the repatriation provision. The provisions of FSP 109-2 are effective immediately.  As of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company has not yet completed its evaluation; consequently, the required information is disclosed in Note 15, “Income Taxes.”

Inventories valued on the LIFO method are approximately 35% and 42% of total inventories in 2004 and 2003, respectively.  During 2004 and 2003, inventory usage resulted in liquidations of LIFO inventory quantities.  In the aggregate, these inventories were carried at the lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of current purchases.  The effect of these LIFO liquidations was to reduce cost of goods sold by $69 million and $45 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively.  

The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories to a lower of cost or market basis for those items that are potentially excess, obsolete or slow-moving based on management’s analysis of inventory levels and future sales forecasts.  The Company also reduces the carrying value of inventories whose net book value is in excess of market.  Aggregate reductions in the carrying value with respect to inventories that were still on hand at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and that were deemed to be excess, obsolete, slow-moving or that had a carrying value in excess of market, were $100 million and $75 million, respectively.

The aggregate amount of goodwill acquired during 2004 of $30 million was primarily attributable to $17 million for the purchase of Kodak Versamark within the Graphic Communications segment and $13 million for the purchase of Chinon within the D&FIS segment.  The $21 million of goodwill written off in relation to disposals during 2004 in the D&FIS segment was attributable to the divestiture of Consumer Imaging Services in Austria ($5 million) and the write-off of Applied Science Fiction ($16 million), as the Company has canceled its program to market an automatic film processing station due to diminishing market opportunity. 

The aggregate amount of goodwill added through the finalization of purchase accounting during 2004 of $54 million was primarily attributable to $36 million for the November 2003 purchase of Algotec Systems Ltd., $8 million related to the October 2003 purchase of PracticeWorks, Inc., both of which are within the Health segment, $6 million for the May 2004 purchase of the NexPress related entities, which are within the Graphic Communications segment, and $4 million for an adjustment of a deferred tax asset relating to the purchase of Chinon within the D&FIS segment.  

The correction of purchase accounting relates to the following correction of errors: deferred tax assets should have been recorded as a part of the 1998 acquisition of the Imation Medical Imaging business, in the Health segment, and goodwill should have been reduced accordingly; deferred tax liabilities should have been recorded as a part of the 1999 formation of the NexPress joint venture, part of the Graphic Communications segment, and the deferred credit related to the excess of basis in the investment over the value of contributed amounts should have been reduced accordingly; and goodwill related to the acquisition of Spector should have been reduced in the fourth quarter of 2003 when the Company reduced a deferred tax asset valuation allowance that had been recorded in purchase accounting.

The aggregate amount of intangible assets acquired during 2004 of $258 million was primarily attributable to $139 million of manufacturing exclusivity intangible assets for the purchase of Lucky Film; $86 million related to the purchase of Kodak Versamark, consisting of $26 million in customer-related intangible assets, $54 million of technology-based intangible assets, and $6 million of other intangible assets; and $15 million of technology-based intangible assets related to the finalization of purchase accounting for the purchase of Algotec Systems Ltd. as described in Note 21 “Acquisitions.”  In addition, in December 2004, the Company wrote off approximately $11 million of net technology-based intangible assets related to Applied Science Fiction, as the Company has canceled it’s program to market an automatic film processing station due to diminishing market opportunity.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $67 million, $28 million and $21 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

NOTE 7:  INVESTMENTS

Equity Method -

At December 31, 2004, the Company’s significant equity method investees and the Company’s approximate ownership interest in each investee were as follows:

Kodak Polychrome Graphics (KPG)

50

%

Express Stop Financing (ESF)

50

%

SK Display Corporation

34

%

Matsushita-Ultra Technologies Battery Corporation

30

%

Lucky Film Co. Ltd  (Lucky Film)

13

%

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the carrying value of the Company’s equity investment in these significant unconsolidated affiliates was $488 million and $417 million, respectively, and is reported within other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  The Company records its equity in the income or losses of these investees and reports such amounts in other income (charges), net, in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings.  See Note 14, “Other Income (Charges), Net.”  These investments do not meet the Regulation S-X significance test requiring the inclusion of the separate investee financial statements.

The Company sells graphics film and other products to its equity affiliate, KPG.  Sales to KPG for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 amounted to $268 million, $271 million and $315 million, respectively.  These sales are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.  The Company eliminates profits on these sales, to the extent the inventory has not been sold through to third parties, on the basis of its 50% interest.  Amounts due from KPG relating to these sales were $6 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and are reported in receivables, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  Additionally, the Company has guaranteed certain debt obligations of KPG up to $160 million, which is included in the total guarantees amount of $356 million at December 31, 2004, as discussed in Note 12, “Guarantees.”

Kodak sells certain of its long-term lease receivables relating to the sale of photofinishing equipment to ESF without recourse to the Company.  Sales of long-term lease receivables to ESF were approximately $0, $15 million and $9 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  See Note 11, “Commitments and Contingencies.”


PAGE 106

The Company performed an analysis of ESF in order to determine whether the provisions of FASB Interpretations No. 46(R) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB No. 51” (FIN 46(R)) were applicable to ESF, requiring consolidation.  Based on the analysis performed, it was determined that ESF does not qualify as a variable interest entity under FIN 46(R) and, therefore, consolidation is not required.  ESF is an operating entity formed between Qualex and Dana Credit Corporation in October 1993 to provide a long-term financing solution to Qualex’s photofinishing customers in connection with Qualex’s leasing of photofinishing equipment to third parties, as opposed to Qualex extending long-term credit (see Note 11 under “Other Commitments and Contingencies”).  Qualex’s estimated maximum exposure to loss as a result of its continuing involvement with ESF is $59 million as of December 31, 2004, which is equal to the carrying value of Qualex’s investment balance in the entity.   As of December 31, 2004 the Company does not intend to nor is it committed to fund any amounts to ESF in the future, and there are no debt guarantees under which Qualex could potentially be required to perform in relation to its investment in ESF.  The Company was not involved with any other entities that would qualify as VIEs under the Revised Interpretations of FIN 46.    

On February 10, 2004, the Company acquired a 13 percent interest in Lucky Film, the largest China-based manufacturer of photographic film, as of March 31, 2004.  The Company’s interest in Lucky Film is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over Lucky Film’s operating and financial policies.  Refer to Note 21, “Acquisitions” for further discussion of this purchase.

Kodak has no other material activities with its equity method investees.

Cost Method -

The Company also has certain investments with less than a 20% ownership interest in various private companies whereby the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.  These investments are accounted for under the cost method.  The remaining carrying value of the Company’s investments accounted for under the cost method at December 31, 2004 and 2003 of $19 million and $20 million, respectively, is included in other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The Company recorded total charges for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 of $0 million, $7 million and $45 million, respectively, for other than temporary impairments relating to certain of its strategic and non-strategic venture investments, which were accounted for under the cost method.  The strategic venture investment impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 of $0 million, $3 million and $27 million, respectively, were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings.  The non-strategic venture investment impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 of $0 million, $4 million and $18 million, respectively, were recorded in other income (charges), net, in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings.  The charges were taken in the respective periods in which the available evidence, including subsequent financing rounds, independent valuations, and other factors indicated that the underlying investments were permanently impaired.

The weighted-average interest rate for commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 2003 was 2.95%.  The weighted-average interest rates for short-term bank borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2004 and 2003 were 5.02% and 3.79%, respectively.

LINES OF CREDIT

The Company has $2,225 million in committed revolving credit facilities, which are available for general corporate purposes including the support of the Company’s commercial paper program.  The credit facilities are comprised of the $1,000 million 364-day committed revolving credit facility (364-Day Facility) expiring in July 2005 and a 5-year committed facility at $1,225 million expiring in July 2006 (5-Year Facility).  If unused, they have a commitment fee of $4.5 million per year at the Company’s current credit rating of Baa3 and BBB- from Moody’s and Standard & Poors (S&P), respectively.  Interest on amounts borrowed under these facilities is calculated at rates based on spreads above certain reference rates and the Company’s credit rating.  The Company issues letters of credit under the 5-Year Facility.  As of December 31, 2004, there were $103 million of letters of credit outstanding under the 5-Year Facility.  The remainder of the 5-Year Facility and the 364-Day Facility was unused at December 31, 2004.  In February 2005, the Company issued $31 million in letters of credit in support of Workers’ Compensation liabilities.  Under the 364-Day Facility and 5-Year Facility, there is a quarterly financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) ratio, on a rolling four-quarter basis, of not greater than 3 to 1.  In the event of violation of the covenant, the facility would not be available for borrowing until the covenant provisions were waived, amended or satisfied.  The Company was in compliance with this covenant at December 31, 2004.  The Company does not anticipate that a violation is likely to occur. 

The Company has other committed and uncommitted lines of credit at December 31, 2004 totaling $148 million and $753 million, respectively.  These lines primarily support borrowing needs of the Company’s subsidiaries, which include term loans, overdraft lines, letters of credit and revolving credit lines.  Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary from country to country, depending on local market conditions.  Total outstanding borrowings against these other committed and uncommitted lines of credit at December 31, 2004 were $53 million and $47 million, respectively.  These outstanding borrowings are reflected in the short-term borrowings in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at December 31, 2004.


PAGE 108

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

The Company has an accounts receivable securitization program (the Program), which provides the Company with borrowings up to a maximum of $200 million.  The Program is renewable annually, subject to the bank’s approval in March.  Under the Program, the Company sells certain of its domestic trade accounts receivable without recourse to EK Funding LLC, a Kodak wholly owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote, limited purpose, limited liability corporation (EKFC).  Kodak continues to service, administer and collect the receivables.  A bank, acting as the Program agent, purchases undivided percentage ownership interests in those receivables on behalf of the conduit purchasers, who have a first priority security interest in the related receivables pool.  The receivables pool at December 31, 2004, representing the outstanding balance of the gross accounts receivable sold to EKFC, totaled approximately $555 million.  As the Company has the right at any time during the Program to repurchase all of the then outstanding purchased interests for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal plus accrued fees, the receivables remain on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and the proceeds from the sale of undivided interests are recorded as secured borrowings.

As the Program is renewable annually subject to the bank’s approval, the secured borrowings under the Program are included in short-term borrowings.  At December 31, 2004, the Company had no outstanding secured borrowings under the Program.

The cost of the secured borrowings under the Program is comprised of yield, liquidity, conduit, Program and Program agent fees.  The yield fee is subject to a floating rate, based on the average of the conduits’ commercial paper rates.  The total charge for these fees is recorded in interest expense.  Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2004 in relation to the Program was not material.

The Program agreement contains a number of customary covenants and termination events.  Upon the occurrence of a termination event, all secured borrowings under the Program shall be immediately due and payable.  The Company was in compliance with all such covenants at December 31, 2004.

Interest on the notes will be paid quarterly, and the Company may not redeem or repay these notes prior to their stated maturities.  After these issuances, the Company had $650 million of remaining unsold debt securities under its then existing debt shelf registration.

On September 5, 2003, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the new debt shelf registration) for the issuance of up to $2,000 million of new debt securities.  The new debt shelf registration became effective on September 19, 2003.  Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act of 1933, $650 million of remaining unsold debt securities were included in the new debt shelf registration, giving the Company the ability to issue up to $2,650 million in public debt.

On October 10, 2003, the Company completed the offering and sale of $500 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2013 (the Notes), which was made pursuant to the Company’s new debt shelf registration.  The remaining unused balance under the Company’s new debt shelf is $2,150 million.  Concurrent with the offering and sale of the Notes, on October 10, 2003, the Company completed the private placement of $575 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2033 (the Convertible Securities) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.  Interest on the Convertible Securities will accrue at the rate of 3.375% per annum and is payable semiannually.  The Convertible Securities are unsecured and rank equally with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.  As a condition of the private placement, on January 6, 2004 the Company filed a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the resale of the Convertible Securities and the common stock to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Securities pursuant to a registration rights agreement, and made this shelf registration statement effective on February 6, 2004.

The Convertible Securities contain a number of conversion features that include substantive contingencies.  The Convertible Securities are convertible by the holders at an initial conversion rate of 32.2373 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Securities, which is equal to an initial conversion price of $31.02 per share.  The initial conversion rate of 32.2373 is subject to adjustment for: (1) stock dividends, (2) subdivisions or combinations of the Company’s common stock, (3) issuance to all holders of the Company’s common stock of certain rights or warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at less than the market price, (4) distributions to all holders of the Company’s common stock of shares of the Company’s capital stock or the Company’s assets or evidences of indebtedness, (5) cash dividends in excess of the Company’s current cash dividends, or (6) certain payments made by the Company in connection with tender offers and exchange offers.


PAGE 110

The holders may convert their Convertible Securities, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock under any of the following circumstances:  (1) during any calendar quarter, if the price of the Company’s common stock is greater than or equal to 120% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the previous calendar quarter; (2) during any five consecutive trading day period following any 10 consecutive trading day period in which the trading price of the Convertible Securities for each day of such period is less than 105% of the conversion value, and the conversion value for each day of such period was less than 95% of the principal amount of the Convertible Securities (the Parity Clause); (3) if the Company has called the Convertible Securities for redemption; (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions such as a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange pursuant to which the Company’s common stock would be converted into cash, property or securities; and (5) if the credit rating assigned to the Convertible Securities by either Moody’s or S&P is lower than Ba2 or BB, respectively, which represents a three notch downgrade from the Company’s current standing, or if the Convertible Securities are no longer rated by at least one of these services or their successors (the Credit Rating Clause). 

The Company may redeem some or all of the Convertible Securities at any time on or after October 15, 2010 at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Securities plus any accrued and unpaid interest.  Upon a call for redemption by the Company, a conversion trigger is met whereby the holder of each $1,000 Convertible Senior Note may convert such note to shares of the Company’s common stock. 

The holders have the right to require the Company to purchase their Convertible Securities for cash at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Securities plus any accrued and unpaid interest on October 15, 2010, October 15, 2013, October 15, 2018, October 15, 2023 and October 15, 2028, or upon a fundamental change as described in the offering memorandum filed under Rule 144A in conjunction with the private placement of the Convertible Securities.  As of December 31, 2004, the Company has reserved 18,536,447 shares in treasury stock to cover potential future conversions of these Convertible Securities into common stock. 

Certain of the conversion features contained in the Convertible Securities are deemed to be embedded derivatives as defined under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”  These embedded derivatives include the Parity Clause, the Credit Rating Clause, and any specified corporate transaction outside of the Company’s control such as a hostile takeover.  Based on an external valuation, these embedded derivatives were not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

In November 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force finalized the consensus in Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share” (EITF 04-8).  EITF 04-8 requires that contingent convertible instruments be included in diluted earnings per share regardless of whether a market price trigger or other contingent feature has been met.  EITF 04-8 is effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004 and requires restatement of prior periods.  See Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies,” “Earnings Per Share” for further discussion.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s undiscounted accrued liabilities for environmental remediation costs amounted to $153 million and $141 million, respectively.  These amounts are reported in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The Company is currently implementing a Corrective Action Program required by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) at the Kodak Park site in Rochester, NY.  As part of this program, the Company has completed the RCRA Facility Assessment (RFA), a broad-based environmental investigation of the site.  The Company is currently in the process of completing, and in some cases has completed, RCRA Facility Investigations (RFI) and Corrective Measures Studies (CMS) for areas at the site.  At December 31, 2004, estimated future investigation and remediation costs of $67 million are accrued for this site and are included in the $153 million reported in other long-term liabilities.

The Company announced the closing of three manufacturing facilities outside the United States in 2004.  The Company has obligations with estimated future investigation, remediation and monitoring costs of $21 million at two of these facilities.  At December 31, 2004, these costs are accrued and included in the $153 million reported in other long-term liabilities.

The Company has obligations relating to other operating sites and former operations with estimated future investigation, remediation and monitoring costs of $35 million.  At December 31, 2004, these costs are accrued and included in the $153 million reported in other long-term liabilities.

The Company has retained certain obligations for environmental remediation and Superfund matters related to certain sites associated with the non-imaging health businesses sold in 1994.  At December 31, 2004, estimated future remediation costs of $30 million are accrued for these sites and are included in the $153 million reported in other long-term liabilities.

Cash expenditures for the aforementioned investigation, remediation and monitoring activities are expected to be incurred over the next thirty years for many of the sites.  For these known environmental exposures, the accrual reflects the Company’s best estimate of the amount it will incur under the agreed-upon or proposed work plans.  The Company’s cost estimates were determined using the ASTM Standard E 2137-01, “Standard Guide for Estimating Monetary Costs and Liabilities for Environmental Matters,” and have not been reduced by possible recoveries from third parties.  The overall method includes the use of a probabilistic model which forecasts a range of cost estimates for the remediation required at individual sites.  The projects are closely monitored and the models are reviewed as significant events occur or at least once per year.  The Company’s estimate includes equipment and operating costs for remediation and long-term monitoring of the sites.  The Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the losses for the known exposures could exceed the current accruals by material amounts.


PAGE 112

A Consent Decree was signed in 1994 in settlement of a civil complaint brought by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Justice.  In connection with the Consent Decree, the Company is subject to a Compliance Schedule, under which the Company has improved its waste characterization procedures, upgraded one of its incinerators, and is evaluating and upgrading its industrial sewer system.  The total expenditures required to complete this program are currently estimated to be approximately $15 million over the next five years.  These expenditures are incurred as part of plant operations and, therefore, are not included in the environmental accrual at December 31, 2004.

The Company is presently designated as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (the Superfund Law), or under similar state laws, for environmental assessment and cleanup costs as the result of the Company’s alleged arrangements for disposal of hazardous substances at five such active sites.  With respect to each of these sites, the Company’s liability is minimal.  In addition, the Company has been identified as a PRP in connection with the non-imaging health businesses in four active Superfund sites.  Numerous other PRPs have also been designated at these sites.  Although the law imposes joint and several liability on PRPs, the Company’s historical experience demonstrates that these costs are shared with other PRPs.  Settlements and costs paid by the Company in Superfund matters to date have not been material.  Future costs are also not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Clean Air Act Amendments were enacted in 1990.  Expenditures to comply with the Clean Air Act implementing regulations issued to date have not been material and have been primarily capital in nature.  In addition, future expenditures for existing regulations, which are primarily capital in nature, are not expected to be material.  Many of the regulations to be promulgated pursuant to this Act have not been issued.

Uncertainties associated with environmental remediation contingencies are pervasive and often result in wide ranges of outcomes.  Estimates developed in the early stages of remediation can vary significantly.  A finite estimate of cost does not normally become fixed and determinable at a specific time.  Rather, the costs associated with environmental remediation become estimable over a continuum of events and activities that help to frame and define a liability, and the Company continually updates its cost estimates.  The Company has an ongoing monitoring and identification process to assess how the activities, with respect to the known exposures, are progressing against the accrued cost estimates, as well as to identify other potential remediation sites that are presently unknown.

Estimates of the amount and timing of future costs of environmental remediation requirements are necessarily imprecise because of the continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements, the availability and application of technology, the identification of presently unknown remediation sites and the allocation of costs among the potentially responsible parties.  Based upon information presently available, such future costs are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s competitive or financial position.  However, such costs could be material to results of operations in a particular future quarter or year.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has entered into agreements with several companies, which provide Kodak with products and services to be used in its normal operations.  These agreements are related to supplies, production and administrative services, as well as marketing and advertising.  The terms of these agreements cover the next two to eighteen years.  The minimum payments for these agreements are approximately $182 million in 2005, $171 million in 2006, $155 million in 2007, $117 million in 2008, $75 million in 2009 and $159 million in 2010 and thereafter.


PAGE 113

Qualex, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kodak, has a 50% ownership interest in Express Stop Financing (ESF), which is a joint venture partnership between Qualex and a subsidiary of Dana Credit Corporation (DCC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dana Corporation.  Qualex accounts for its investment in ESF under the equity method of accounting.  ESF provided a long-term financing solution to Qualex’s photofinishing customers in connection with Qualex’s leasing of photofinishing equipment to third parties, as opposed to Qualex extending long-term credit.  As part of the operations of its photofinishing services, Qualex sold equipment under a sales-type lease arrangement and recorded a long-term receivable.  These long-term receivables were subsequently sold to ESF without recourse to Qualex and, therefore, these receivables were removed from Qualex’s accounts.  ESF incurred debt to finance the purchase of the receivables from Qualex.  This debt was collateralized solely by the long-term receivables purchased from Qualex, and in part, by a $40 million guarantee from DCC.  This guarantee was terminated on December 17, 2004 in conjunction with the payment in full of this debt on the same date (see below).  Qualex provided no guarantee or collateral to ESF’s creditors in connection with the debt, and ESF’s debt was non-recourse to Qualex.  Qualex’s only continued involvement in connection with the sale of the long-term receivables is the servicing of the related equipment under the leases.  Qualex has continued revenue streams in connection with this equipment through future sales of photofinishing consumables, including paper and chemicals, and maintenance.

Although the lessees’ requirement to pay ESF under the lease agreements is not contingent upon Qualex’s fulfillment of its servicing obligations, under the agreement with ESF, Qualex would be responsible for any deficiency in the amount of rent not paid to ESF as a result of any lessee’s claim regarding maintenance or supply services not provided by Qualex.  Such lease payments would be made in accordance with the original lease terms, which generally extend over 5 to 7 years.  To date, the Company has incurred no such material claims, and Qualex does not anticipate any significant situations where it would be unable to fulfill its service obligations under the arrangement with ESF.  ESF’s outstanding lease receivable amount was approximately $113 million at December 31, 2004.

Effective July 20, 2004, ESF entered into an agreement amending the Receivables Purchase Agreement (RPA), which represents the financing arrangement between ESF and its banks.  Under the amended RPA agreement, maximum borrowings were lowered to $200 million.  On December 17, 2004, ESF terminated the RPA upon payment in full, to its banks, of the then outstanding balance of the RPA totaling $138 million.  Pursuant to the ESF partnership agreement between Qualex and DCC, commencing October 6, 2003, Qualex no longer sells its lease receivables to ESF.  Qualex currently is utilizing the services of Imaging Financial Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of General Electric Capital Corporation, as its primary financing solution for prospective leasing activity with its U.S. customers.

The Company performed an analysis of ESF in order to determine whether the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB No. 51” (FIN 46(R)) were applicable to ESF, requiring consolidation.  Based on the analysis performed, it was determined that ESF does not qualify as a variable interest entity under FIN 46(R) and, therefore, consolidation is not required.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $110 million and surety bonds in the amount of $117 million primarily to ensure the completion of environmental remediations and payment of possible casualty and workers’ compensation claims. In February of 2005, the Company issued $31 million in letters of credit in support of Workers’ Compensation liabilities.

Rental expense, net of minor sublease income, amounted to $161 million in 2004, and $157 million in each of the years 2003 and 2002.  The approximate amounts of noncancelable lease commitments with terms of more than one year, principally for the rental of real property, reduced by minor sublease income, are $128 million in 2005, $97 million in 2006, $79 million in 2007, $61 million in 2008, $46 million in 2009 and $104 million in 2010 and thereafter.


PAGE 114

In December 2003, the Company sold a property in France for approximately $65 million, net of direct selling costs, and then leased back a portion of this property for a nine-year term.  In accordance with SFAS No. 98, “Accounting for Leases,” the entire gain on the property sale of approximately $57 million was deferred and no gain was recognizable upon the closing of the sale as the Company’s continuing involvement in the property is deemed to be significant.  As a result, the Company is accounting for the transaction as a financing.  Future minimum lease payments under this noncancelable lease commitment amounts noted above include approximately $5 million per year for 2005 through 2009, and approximately $15 million for 2010 and thereafter, in relation to this transaction.

On March 8, 2004, the Company filed a complaint against Sony Corporation in federal district court in Rochester, New York, for digital camera patent infringement.  Several weeks later, on March 31, 2004, Sony sued the Company for digital camera patent infringement in federal district court in Newark, New Jersey.  Sony subsequently filed a second lawsuit against the Company in Newark, New Jersey, alleging infringement of a variety of other Sony patents.  The Company filed a counterclaim in the New Jersey action, asserting infringement by Sony of the Company’s kiosk patents.  The Company successfully moved to transfer Sony’s New Jersey digital camera patent infringement case to Rochester, New York, and the two digital camera patent infringement cases are now consolidated for purposes of discovery.  Based on the current discovery schedule, the Company expects that claims construction hearings in the digital camera cases will take place in 2006.  Both the Company and Sony Corporation seek unspecified damages and other relief. Although this lawsuit may result in the Company’s recovery of damages, the amount of the damages, if any, cannot be quantified at this time.  Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any gain in the financial statements as of December 31, 2004, in connection with this matter.

On October 7, 2004, the Company and Sun Microsystems Inc. reached a tentative agreement to settle a lawsuit filed by Kodak on February 11, 2002 in Federal District Court, Western District of New York, for infringement of three Kodak patents covering a software architecture used in Sun’s Java product.  The settlement followed an October 1, 2004 verdict in which a federal court jury found that the Kodak patents in issue were valid, that Sun infringed the patents, and that Sun’s affirmative defense was without merit.

On October 12, 2004, a final settlement agreement was signed.  Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, Sun paid Kodak $92 million in cash on October 12, 2004.

Kodak provided to Sun a non-exclusive license under the Kodak patents at issue.  In addition, Kodak licensed to Sun certain other Kodak patents for existing and future versions of Sun’s Java technology.  The other licensed Kodak patents are limited to those Kodak patents infringed on October 12, 2004 by the current version of Sun’s Java technology. 

Kodak also released Sun from any past infringement of Kodak’s patents by the Java technology. 

The license and the release relative to Java technology extend to Sun’s licensees, customers, developers, suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors.

Sun released Kodak from all counterclaims that it had asserted in the litigation.  

The case was dismissed with prejudice.

The Company and its subsidiary companies are involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including product liability, commercial, intellectual property, environmental, and health and safety matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business.  There are no such matters pending representing contingent losses that the Company and its General Counsel expect to be material in relation to the Company’s business, financial position or results of operations, or cash flows. 


PAGE 115

NOTE 12:  GUARANTEES

The Company guarantees debt and other obligations under agreements with certain affiliated companies and customers.  At December 31, 2004, these guarantees totaled a maximum of $356 million, with outstanding guaranteed amounts of $149 million.  The maximum guarantee amount includes guarantees of up to: $160 million of debt for KPG ($30 million outstanding); $128 million of customer amounts due to banks in connection with various banks’ financing of customers’ purchase of product and equipment from Kodak ($71 million outstanding), and $68 million for other unconsolidated affiliates and third parties ($48 million outstanding).  The KPG debt facility and the related guarantee mature on December 31, 2005.  The guarantees for the other unconsolidated affiliates and third party debt mature between 2005 and 2010. The customer financing agreements and related guarantees typically have a term of 90 days for product and short-term equipment financing arrangements, and up to five years for long-term equipment financing arrangements.  These guarantees would require payment from Kodak only in the event of default on payment by the respective debtor.  In some cases, particularly for guarantees related to equipment financing, the Company has collateral or recourse provisions to recover and sell the equipment to reduce any losses that might be incurred in connection with the guarantee.   

Management believes the likelihood is remote that material payments will be required under any of the guarantees disclosed above.  With respect to the guarantees that the Company issued in the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company assessed the fair value of its obligation to stand ready to perform under these guarantees by considering the likelihood of occurrence of the specified triggering events or conditions requiring performance as well as other assumptions and factors.  The Company has determined that the fair value of the guarantees was not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company also guarantees debt owed to banks for some of its consolidated subsidiaries.  The maximum amount guaranteed is $306 million, and the outstanding debt under those guarantees, which is recorded within the short-term borrowings and long-term debt, net of current portion components in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, is $166 million.  These guarantees expire in 2005 through 2006.

The Company may provide up to $100 million in loan guarantees to support funding needs for SK Display Corporation, an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company has a 34% ownership interest.  As of December 31, 2004, the Company has not been required to guarantee any of SK Display Corporation’s outstanding debt.

Indemnifications

The Company issues indemnifications in certain instances when it sells businesses and real estate, and in the ordinary course of business with its customers, suppliers, service providers and business partners.  Further, the Company indemnifies its directors and officers who are, or were, serving at Kodak’s request in such capacities.  Historically, costs incurred to settle claims related to these indemnifications have not been material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  Additionally, the fair value of the indemnifications that the Company issued during the year ended December 31, 2004 was not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


PAGE 116

Warranty Costs

The Company has warranty obligations in connection with the sale of its equipment.  The original warranty period for equipment products is generally one year or less.  The costs incurred to provide for these warranty obligations are estimated and recorded as an accrued liability at the time of sale.  The Company estimates its warranty cost at the point of sale for a given product based on historical failure rates and related costs to repair.  The change in the Company’s accrued warranty obligations balance, which is reflected in accounts payable and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, was as follows:

The Company also offers extended warranty arrangements to its customers that are generally one year, but may range from three months to three years after the original warranty period.  The Company provides repair services and routine maintenance under these arrangements.  The Company has not separated the extended warranty revenues and costs from the routine maintenance service revenues and costs, as it is not practicable to do so.  Costs incurred under these extended warranty arrangements for the year ended December 31, 2004 amounted to $208 million.  The change in the Company’s deferred revenue balance in relation to these extended warranty arrangements, which is reflected in accounts payable and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, was as follows:

Marketable securities are valued at quoted market prices.  The fair values of long-term borrowings are determined by reference to quoted market prices or by obtaining quotes from dealers.  The fair values for the remaining financial instruments in the above table are based on dealer quotes and reflect the estimated amounts the Company would pay or receive to terminate the contracts.  The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, short-term borrowings and payables approximate their fair values.

The Company, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial position.  The Company manages such exposures, in part, with derivative financial instruments.  The fair value of these derivative contracts is reported in other current assets or accounts payable and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, especially those of the Company’s International Treasury Center, as well as forecasted foreign currency denominated intercompany sales.  Silver forward contracts are used to mitigate the Company’s risk to fluctuating silver prices.  The Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates results from its investing and borrowing activities used to meet its liquidity needs.  Long-term debt is generally used to finance long-term investments, while short-term debt is used to meet working capital requirements.  The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges of exchange rate risk related to forecasted foreign currency denominated intercompany sales.  At December 31, 2004, the Company had no open cash flow hedges related to these foreign currency forward contracts.  During 2004, as a result of the sale of intercompany foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities to third parties, a pre-tax loss of $16 million was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income to cost of goods sold.  Hedge ineffectiveness was insignificant.

The Company does not apply hedge accounting to the foreign currency forward contracts used to offset currency-related changes in the fair value of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.  These contracts are marked to market through earnings at the same time that the exposed assets and liabilities are remeasured through earnings (both in other income (charges), net).  The majority of the contracts of this type held by the Company are denominated in euros, Australian dollars, and Canadian dollars.  At December 31, 2004, the fair value of these open contracts was an unrealized gain of $25 million (pre-tax).

The Company has entered into silver forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges of price risk related to forecasted worldwide silver purchases.  The Company used silver forward contracts to minimize its exposure to increases in silver prices in 2002, 2003, and 2004.  At December 31, 2004, the Company had open forward contracts with maturities through March 2005.


PAGE 118

At December 31, 2004, the fair value of open silver forward contracts was an unrealized loss of less than $1 million (pre-tax), which is included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.  If this amount were to be realized, all of it would be reclassified into cost of goods sold during the next twelve months.  Additionally, realized gains of $2 million (pre-tax), related to closed silver contracts, have been deferred in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.  These gains will be reclassified into cost of goods sold as silver-containing products are sold, all within the next twelve months.  During 2004, resulting from the sale of silver containing products, a realized gain of $10 million (pre-tax) was recorded in cost of goods sold.  Hedge ineffectiveness was insignificant.

The Company’s financial instrument counterparties are high-quality investment or commercial banks with significant experience with such instruments.  The Company manages exposure to counterparty credit risk by requiring specific minimum credit standards and diversification of counterparties.  The Company has procedures to monitor the credit exposure amounts.  The maximum credit exposure at December 31, 2004 was not significant to the Company.

The Company has a 50 percent ownership interest in KPG, a joint venture accounted for under the equity method.  The Company’s proportionate share of KPG’s other comprehensive income is therefore included in its presentation of other comprehensive (loss) income displayed in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity.

The Company recognized net income of $475 million from discontinued operations for 2004, which was net of a tax provision of $275 million.  Net income from discontinued operations for 2003 and 2002 was $64 million and $9 million, respectively, which was net of tax provisions of $10 million and $6 million, respectively.  The discontinued operations tax provision for 2003 includes an $18 million tax benefit related to the reversal of tax reserves resulting from the elimination of uncertainties surrounding the realizability of such benefits.

During 2004, the Company reached a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service covering tax years 1982-1992. As a result, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $37 million in 2004, which consisted of benefits of $32 million related to a formal concession concerning the taxation of certain intercompany royalties that could not legally be distributed to the parent entity and $9 million related to the income tax treatment of a patent infringement litigation settlement, and a $4 million charge related to other tax items. The Company also reached a favorable resolution of interest calculations for these years, and recorded a benefit of $8 million. Finally, the Company recorded net charges of $13 for adjustments for audit years 1993 and thereafter.

The audit for tax years 1993-1998 has progressed to the administrative appeals level of the IRS and the Company anticipates that it will be formally settled during 2005.  The finalization of this settlement could have a significant impact upon the Company’s 2005 effective tax rate and operating results because the settlement covers six years and also includes significant transactional activity associated with the disposition of various businesses.

During 2003, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $13 million related to the donation of intellectual property in the form of technology patents to a tax-qualified organization. 

During 2002, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $91 million relating to business closures and restructuring of certain subsidiaries.  Additionally, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $8 million relating to a land donation.  Also, during the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company recorded an adjustment of $22 million to reduce its income tax provision due to a decrease in the estimated effective tax rate for the full year.  The decrease in the effective tax rate was attributable to an increase in earnings in lower tax rate jurisdictions relative to original estimates.  

A degree of judgment is required in determining our effective tax rate and in evaluating our tax position.  The Company establishes reserves when, despite significant support for the Company’s filing position, a belief exists that these positions may be challenged by the respective tax jurisdiction.  The reserves are adjusted upon the occurrence of external, identifiable events.  A change in our tax reserves could have a significant impact on our effective tax rate and our operating results.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $509 million for income tax purposes, of which approximately $330 million has an indefinite carryforward period.  The remaining $179 million expires between the years 2005 and 2019.  The Company has $189 million of unused foreign tax credits at December 31, 2004, with various expiration dates through 2014.

The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2004 of $131 million is attributable to certain net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards outside the U.S.  The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2003 of $141 million is attributable to both U.S. foreign tax credits and certain net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards outside the U.S.  The valuation allowance at December 31, 2003 included $56 million related to U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards which, because of a short carryforward period, the Company would only be able to utilize if it were to forgo other tax benefits. In October of 2004, The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) was signed into law.  The Act extended the foreign tax credit carryforward period and this will allow the Company to realize the credits without having to forgo other tax benefits.  Accordingly, the valuation allowance of $56 million has been reversed in the fourth quarter of 2004.     


PAGE 122

Additionally during 2004, the Company increased the valuation allowance that had been provided at December 31, 2003 by $46 million.  The $46 million increase related to net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets for certain of its subsidiaries for which management believed that it was more likely than not that the Company would be unable to generate sufficient taxable income to realize these benefits.

During 2003, the Company increased the valuation allowance that had been provided at December 31, 2002 by $11 million that related to net operating loss carryforwards for certain of its subsidiaries for which management believed that it was more likely than not that the Company would be unable to generate sufficient taxable income to realize these benefits.

The Company has recognized the balance of its deferred tax assets on the belief that it is more likely than not that they will be realized.  This belief is based on all available evidence, including historical operating results, projections of taxable income, and tax planning strategies.

The Company has been utilizing net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income from its operations in China that have become profitable.  The Company has been granted a tax holiday in China that became effective when the net operating loss carryforwards were fully utilized during 2004.  The tax holiday thus became effective during 2004, and the Company’s tax rate in China was zero percent for 2004 and will be zero percent for 2005.  For 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Company’s tax rate will be 7.5%, which is 50% of the normal 15% tax rate for the jurisdiction in which Kodak operates.  Thereafter, the Company’s tax rate will be 15%.

Retained earnings of subsidiary companies outside the U.S. were approximately $1,919 million and  $1,857 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003 (as restated), respectively.  Deferred taxes have not been provided on such undistributed earnings, as it is the Company’s policy to permanently reinvest its retained earnings, and it is not practicable to determine the deferred tax liability on such undistributed earnings in the event they were to be remitted.  However, the Company periodically repatriates a portion of these earnings to the extent that it can do so tax-free.

As discussed, the Act was signed into law in October of 2004.  The Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S. multinationals to repatriate foreign subsidiary earnings by providing a 85% dividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations.  The deduction is subject to a number of limitations and requirements, including adoption of a specific domestic reinvestment plan for the repatriated earnings.  Whether the Company will ultimately take advantage of the temporary incentive depends on a number of factors.  The Company is not yet in a position to finalize its decision regarding this temporary incentive, although it needs to do so before December 31, 2005.  Until the time that the Company finalizes its decision, the Company will make no changes in its current intention to indefinitely reinvest accumulated earnings of its foreign subsidiaries.  As a result, no provision has been made for income taxes that would be payable upon distribution of such earnings.

NOTE 16:  RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER

RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER

Currently, the Company is being adversely impacted by the progressing digital substitution.  As the Company continues to adjust its operating model in light of changing business conditions, it is probable that ongoing cost reduction activities will be required from time to time.

In accordance with this, the Company periodically announces planned restructuring programs (Programs), which often consist of a number of restructuring initiatives.  These Program announcements provide estimated ranges relating to the number of positions to be eliminated and the total restructuring charges to be incurred.  The actual charges for initiatives under a Program are recorded in the period in which the Company commits to formalized restructuring plans or executes the specific actions contemplated by the Program and all criteria for restructuring charge recognition under the applicable accounting guidance have been met.

The Other Adjustments and Reclasses column of the table above includes reclassifications to Other long-term assets, Postretirement liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  It also includes foreign currency translation adjustments of $19 million which are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.


PAGE 125

The costs incurred, net of reversals, which total $889 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, include $183 million and $21 million of charges related to accelerated depreciation and inventory write-downs, respectively, which were reported in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The remaining costs incurred, net of reversals, of $685 million, were reported as restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The severance costs and exit costs require the outlay of cash, while long-lived asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and inventory write-downs represent non-cash items.

2004-2006 Restructuring Program

In addition to completing the remaining initiatives under the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program, the Company announced on January 22, 2004 that it planned to develop and execute a comprehensive cost reduction program throughout the 2004 to 2006 timeframe.  The objective of these actions is to achieve a business model appropriate for the Company’s traditional businesses, and to sharpen the Company’s competitiveness in digital markets.

The Program is expected to result in total charges of $1.3 billion to $1.7 billion over the three-year period, of which $700 million to $900 million are related to severance, with the remainder relating to the disposal of buildings and equipment.  Overall, Kodak’s worldwide facility square footage is expected to be reduced by approximately one-third.  Approximately 12,000 to 15,000 positions worldwide are expected to be eliminated through these actions primarily in global manufacturing, selected traditional businesses and corporate administration.  Maximum single year cash usage under the new program is expected to be approximately $250 million.

The Company implemented certain actions under this program during 2004.  As a result of these actions, the Company recorded charges of $674 million in 2004, which was composed of severance, long-lived asset impairments, exit costs and inventory write-downs of $418 million, $138 million, $99 million and $19 million, respectively.  The severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 9,625 positions, including approximately 4,700 photofinishing, 3,575 manufacturing, 425 research and development and 925 administrative positions.  The geographic composition of the positions to be eliminated includes approximately 5,075 in the United States and Canada and 4,550 throughout the rest of the world.  The reduction of the 9,625 positions and the $517 million charges for severance and exit costs are reflected in the 2004-2006 Restructuring Program table below.  The $138 million charge for long-lived asset impairments was included in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The charges taken for inventory write-downs of $19 million were reported in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The severance charges of $418 million and the exit costs of $99 million were reported in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  Included in the $418 million charge taken for severance costs was a net curtailment gain of $6 million.  This net curtailment gain is disclosed in Note 17, “Retirement Plans” and Note 18, “Other Postretirement Benefits.”  Included in the $99 million charge taken for exit costs was a $16 million charge for environmental remediation associated with the closures of the manufacturing facility in Coburg, Australia and Toronto, Canada, and the closure of a Qualex wholesale photofinishing lab in the U.S.  The liability related to this charge is disclosed in Note 11, “Commitments and Contingencies” under “Environmental.”  During 2004, the Company made $169 million of severance payments and $47 million of exit cost payments related to the 2004-2006 Restructuring Program.  In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company reversed $6 million of severance reserves, as severance payments were less than originally estimated.  The $1 million exit costs reserve reversal recorded in the third quarter of 2004 resulted from the settlement of a lease obligation for an amount that was less than originally estimated.  These reserve reversals were included in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  As a result of the initiatives already implemented under the 2004-2006 Restructuring Program, severance payments will be paid during periods through 2007 since, in many instances, the employees whose positions were eliminated can elect or are required to receive their payments over an extended period of time.  Most exit costs were paid during 2004.  However, certain costs, such as long-term lease payments, will be paid over periods after 2004.


PAGE 127

As a result of initiatives implemented under the 2004-2006 Restructuring Program, the Company recorded $152 million of accelerated depreciation on long-lived assets in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The accelerated depreciation relates to long-lived assets accounted for under the held and used model of SFAS No. 144.  The year-to-date amount of $152 million relates to $49 million of photofinishing facilities and equipment, $102 million of manufacturing facilities and equipment, and $1 million of administrative facilities and equipment that will be used until their abandonment.  The Company will record approximately $142 million of additional accelerated depreciation in 2005 related to the initiatives implemented in 2004.  Additional amounts of accelerated depreciation may be recorded in 2005 and 2006 as the Company continues to execute its 2004-2006 Restructuring Program.

The charges of $826 million recorded in 2004 included $435 million applicable to the D&FIS segment, $8 million applicable to the Health segment, $5 million applicable to the Graphic Communications segment and $2 million applicable to the Commercial Imaging segment.  The balance of $376 million was applicable to manufacturing, research and development, and administrative functions, which are shared across all segments.

Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program

During the third quarter of 2003, the Company announced its intention to implement a series of cost reduction actions during the last two quarters of 2003 and the first two quarters of 2004, which were expected to result in pre-tax charges totaling $350 million to $450 million.  It was anticipated that these actions would result in a reduction of approximately 4,500 to 6,000 positions worldwide, primarily relating to the rationalization of global manufacturing assets, reduction of corporate administration and research and development, and the consolidation of the infrastructure and administration supporting the Company’s consumer imaging and professional products and services operations.

The Company implemented certain actions under this Program during 2004.  As a result of these actions, the Company recorded charges of $58 million in 2004, which was composed of severance, exit costs, long-lived asset impairments and inventory write-downs of $45 million, $7 million, $4 million and $2 million, respectively.  The severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 2,000 positions, including approximately 850 photofinishing positions, 775 manufacturing positions and 375 administrative positions.  The geographic composition of the positions to be eliminated includes approximately 1,100 in the United States and Canada and 900 throughout the rest of the world.  The reduction of the 2,000 positions and the $52 million charges for severance and exit costs are reflected in the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program table below.  The $4 million charge for long-lived asset impairments was included in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The charges taken for inventory write-downs of $2 million were reported in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The severance charges of $45 million and the exit costs of $7 million were reported in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  Included in the $45 million charge taken for severance costs was a net curtailment gain of $17 million.  The net curtailment gain is disclosed in Note 17, “Retirement Plans” and Note 18, “Other Postretirement Benefits.”  During 2004, the Company made $208 million of severance payments and $14 million of exit costs payments related to the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program.  In addition, the Company reversed $4 million of severance reserves and $3 million of exit costs reserves during 2004.  The severance reserve reversals were recorded, as severance payments were less than originally estimated.  The $2 million exit costs reserve reversal recorded during the second quarter of 2004 resulted from the Company settling a lease obligation for an amount that was less than originally estimated.  The additional $1 million of exit costs reserves reversed in the fourth quarter of 2004 resulted from the Company settling certain exit cost obligations for an amount that was less than originally estimated.  The severance and exit costs reserve reversals were included in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The remaining severance payments relating to initiatives already implemented under the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program will be paid during 2005 since, in many instances, the employees whose positions were eliminated can elect or are required to receive their severance payments over an extended period of time.  Most exit costs were paid during 2004.  However, certain costs, such as long-term lease payments, will be paid over periods after 2004.


PAGE 129

As a result of initiatives implemented under the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program, the Company recorded $24 million of accelerated depreciation on long-lived assets in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The accelerated depreciation relates to long-lived assets accounted for under the held and used model of SFAS No. 144.  The year-to-date amount of $24 million relates to $17 million of manufacturing facilities and equipment and $7 million of photofinishing facilities and equipment that will be used until their abandonment.

The year-to-date charges of $82 million included $45 million applicable to the D&FIS segment, $6 million applicable to the Health segment and $1 million applicable to the Commercial Imaging segment.  The balance of $30 million was applicable to manufacturing, research and development, and administrative functions, which are shared across segments.  The program-to-date charges of $479 million included $253 million applicable to the D&FIS segment, $26 million applicable to the Health segment and $10 million applicable to the Commercial Imaging segment.  The balance of $190 million was applicable to manufacturing, research and development, and administrative functions, which are shared across segments.

As of the end of the first quarter of 2004, the Company had committed to all of the initiatives originally contemplated under the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program. The Company committed to the elimination of a total of 5,850 positions under the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program. The remaining 25 positions to be eliminated under the Third Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program are expected to be completed during 2005.

First Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program

In the early part of the first quarter of 2003, as part of its continuing focused cost reduction efforts and in addition to the remaining initiatives under the Fourth Quarter, 2002 Restructuring Program, the Company announced its First Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program that included new initiatives to further reduce employment within a range of 1,800 to 2,200 employees.  A significant portion of these new initiatives related to the rationalization of the Company’s photofinishing operations in the U.S. and Europe.  Specifically, as a result of declining film and photofinishing volumes and in response to global economic and political conditions, the Company began to implement initiatives to: (1) close certain photofinishing operations in the U.S. and EAMER, (2) rationalize manufacturing capacity by eliminating manufacturing positions on a worldwide basis, and (3) eliminate selling, general and administrative positions, particularly in the D&FIS segment.

During 2004, the Company made severance payments of $15 million and exit cost payments of $4 million related to the First Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program.  In addition, the Company reversed $1 million of severance reserves during 2004, as severance payments were less than originally estimated.  This reversal was included in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The remaining severance payments relating to initiatives already implemented under the First Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program will be paid during 2005 since, in many instances, the employees whose positions were eliminated can elect or are required to receive their severance payments over an extended period of time.

As a result of initiatives implemented under the First Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program, the Company recorded $7 million of accelerated depreciation on long-lived assets in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The accelerated depreciation relates to long-lived assets accounted for under the held and used model of SFAS No. 144.  The year-to-date amount of $7 million relates to lab equipment used in photofinishing that was used until its abandonment.

The charges of $7 million recorded during 2004 were applicable to the D&FIS segment.  The program-to-date charges of $112 million included $92 million applicable to the D&FIS segment, $4 million applicable to the Commercial Imaging segment and $1 million applicable to the Graphic Communications segment.  The balance of $15 million was applicable to manufacturing and administrative functions, which are shared across all segments.


PAGE 131

As of the end of the third quarter of 2003, the Company had committed to all of the initiatives originally contemplated under the First Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program.  A total of 1,850 positions were eliminated as a result of the initiatives implemented under the First Quarter, 2003 Restructuring Program.

NOTE 17:  RETIREMENT PLANS

Substantially all U.S. employees are covered by a noncontributory defined benefit plan, the Kodak Retirement Income Plan (KRIP), which is funded by Company contributions to an irrevocable trust fund.  The funding policy for KRIP is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as determined by employee benefit and tax laws plus additional amounts the Company determines to be appropriate.  Generally, benefits are based on a formula recognizing length of service and final average earnings.  Assets in the trust fund are held for the sole benefit of participating employees and retirees.  They are comprised of corporate equity and debt securities, U.S. government securities, partnership and joint venture investments, interests in pooled funds, and various types of interest rate, foreign currency and equity market financial instruments.

On March 25, 1999, the Company amended this plan to include a separate cash balance formula for all U.S. employees hired after February 1999.  All U.S. employees hired prior to that date were granted the option to choose the KRIP plan or the Cash Balance Plus plan.  Written elections were made by employees in 1999, and were effective January 1, 2000.  The Cash Balance Plus plan credits employees’ accounts with an amount equal to 4% of their pay, plus interest based on the 30-year treasury bond rate.  In addition, for employees participating in this plan and the Company’s defined contribution plan, the Savings and Investment Plan (SIP), the Company will match SIP contributions for an amount up to 3% of pay, for employee contributions of up to 5% of pay.  Company contributions to SIP were $15 million, $15 million and $14 million for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  As a result of employee elections to the Cash Balance Plus plan, the reductions in future pension expense will be almost entirely offset by the cost of matching employee contributions to SIP.  The impact of the Cash Balance Plus plan is shown as a plan amendment.

The Company also sponsors unfunded defined benefit plans for certain U.S. employees, primarily executives.  The benefits of these plans are obtained by applying KRIP provisions to all compensation, including amounts being deferred, and without regard to the legislated qualified plan maximums, reduced by benefits under KRIP.

Most subsidiaries and branches operating outside the U.S. have defined benefit retirement plans covering substantially all employees.  Contributions by the Company for these plans are typically deposited under government or other fiduciary-type arrangements.  Retirement benefits are generally based on contractual agreements that provide for benefit formulas using years of service and/or compensation prior to retirement.  The actuarial assumptions used for these plans reflect the diverse economic environments within the various countries in which the Company operates.

The measurement date used to determine the pension obligation for all major funded and unfunded U.S. and Non-U.S. defined benefit plans comprising a majority of the plan assets and benefit obligations is December 31.

The special termination benefits of $52 million, $30 million and $27 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were incurred as a result of the Company’s restructuring actions and, therefore, have been included in restructuring costs and other in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

The Japanese Welfare Pension Insurance Law (JWPIL) was amended in June 2001 to permit employers with Employees’ Pension Funds (EPFs) to separate the pay related portion of the old-age pension benefits under the JWPIL (Substitutional Portion) from the EPF.  This obligation and related plan assets are transferred to a government agency, thereby relieving the EPF from paying the substitutional portion of benefits.  The Kodak Japan Limited EPF completed the transfer of the substitutional portion to the Japanese Government in December 2004.  The effect of the transfer resulted in a one-time credit due to the derecognition of future salary increases in the amount of $3 million, a one-time credit due to the government subsidy from the transfer of liabilities and related plan assets of $25 million and a one-time charge due to the accelerated recognition of unrecognized loss in accordance with SFAS No. 88 settlement accounting in the amount of $20 million.

Of the total plan assets attributable to the major U.S. defined benefit plans at December 31, 2004 and 2003, 98% and 98%, respectively, relate to the KRIP plan.  The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption (EROA) is determined from the plan’s asset allocation using forward-looking assumptions in the context of historical returns, correlations and volatilities.  The plan lowered its EROA from 9.5% in 2002 to 9.0% in 2003 based on an asset and liability modeling study that was completed in September 2002.  A 9.0% EROA was maintained for 2004.

The investment strategy is to manage the assets of the U.S. plans to meet the long-term liabilities while maintaining sufficient liquidity to pay current benefits.  This is primarily achieved by holding equity-like investments while investing a portion of the assets in long duration bonds in order to match the long-term nature of the liabilities.  The Company will periodically undertake an asset and liability modeling study because of a material shift in the plan’s liability profile or changes in the capital markets.

The expected return on plan assets for the major non-US pension plans range from 4.5% to 9.0% for 2004. Every three years or when markets conditions have changed materially, the Company will undertake new asset and liability modeling studies for each of its larger pension plans. The asset allocations and expected return on plan assets are individually set to meet each plan’s liabilities within each country’s legal investment constraints. The investment strategy is to manage the assets of the non-US plans to meet the long-term liabilities while maintaining sufficient liquidity to pay current benefits. This is primarily achieved by holding equity-like investments while investing a portion of the assets in long duration bonds in order to partially match the long-term nature of the liabilities.

NOTE 18:  OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company provides healthcare, dental and life insurance benefits to U.S. eligible retirees and eligible survivors of retirees.  Generally, to be eligible for the plan, individuals retiring prior to January 1, 1996 were required to be 55 years of age with ten years of service or their age plus years of service must have equaled or exceeded 75.  For those retiring after December 31, 1995, the individuals must be 55 years of age with ten years of service or have been eligible as of December 31, 1995.  Based on the eligibility requirements, these benefits are provided to U.S. retirees who are covered by the Company’s KRIP plan and are funded from the general assets of the Company as they are incurred.  However, those under the Cash Balance Plus portion of the KRIP plan would be required to pay the full cost of their benefits under the plan.  The Company’s subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Canada offer similar healthcare benefits.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company adopted the provisions of FSP 106-2 with respect to its U.S. Postretirement Plan, which resulted in a remeasurement of the Plan’s accumulated projected benefit obligation (APBO) as of April 1, 2004.  This remeasurement takes into account the impact of the subsidy the Company will receive under the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) and certain actuarial assumption changes including: (1) changes in participation rates, (2) a decrease in the Company’s Medicare plan premiums, and (3) a decrease in the discount rate from 6.00% to 5.75%.  The actuarially determined impact of the subsidy reduced the APBO by approximately $228 million.  The effect of the subsidy on the measurement of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost was to reduce the cost by approximately $52 million as follows:

The U.S. plan represents approximately 97% and 97% of the total other postretirement net benefit obligation as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and, therefore, the weighted-average assumptions used to compute the other postretirement benefit amounts approximate the U.S. assumptions.

NOTE 20:  STOCK OPTION AND COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company’s stock incentive plans consist of the 2000 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan (the 2000 Plan), the 1995 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan (the 1995 Plan), and the 1990 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan (the 1990 Plan).  The Plans are administered by the Executive Compensation and Development Committee of the Board of Directors.

Under the 2000 Plan, 22 million shares of the Company’s common stock may be granted to a variety of employees between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2004.  The 2000 Plan is substantially similar to, and is intended to replace, the 1995 Plan, which expired on December 31, 1999.  Stock options are generally non-qualified and are at prices not less than 100% of the per share fair market value on the date of grant, and the options generally expire ten years from the date of grant, but may expire sooner if the optionee’s employment terminates.  The 2000 Plan also provides for Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) to be granted, either in tandem with options or freestanding.  SARs allow optionees to receive payment equal to the increase in the Company’s stock market price from the grant date to the exercise date.  At December 31, 2004, 72,230 freestanding SARs were outstanding at option prices ranging from $23.25 to $60.50.  Compensation expense recognized in 2004 on those freestanding SARs, the majority of which had option prices less than the market value of the Company’s underlying common stock, was not material.

Under the 1995 Plan, 22 million shares of the Company’s common stock were eligible for grant to a variety of employees between February 1, 1995 and December 31, 1999.  Stock options are generally non-qualified and are at prices not less than 100% of the per share fair market value on the date of grant, and the options generally expire ten years from the date of grant, but may expire sooner if the optionee’s employment terminates.  The 1995 Plan also provides for SARs to be granted, either in tandem with options or freestanding.  At December 31, 2004, 316,723 freestanding SARs were outstanding at option prices ranging from $31.30 to $90.63.

Under the 1990 Plan, 22 million shares of the Company’s common stock were eligible for grant to key employees between February 1, 1990 and January 31, 1995.  The stock options, which were generally non-qualified, could not have prices less than 50% of the per share fair market value on the date of grant; however, no options below fair market value were granted.  The options generally expire ten years from the date of grant, but may expire sooner if the optionee’s employment terminates.  The 1990 Plan also provided that options with dividend equivalents, tandem SARs and freestanding SARs could be granted.  At December 31, 2004, no freestanding SARs were outstanding.

In January 2002, the Company’s shareholders voted in favor of a voluntary stock option exchange program for its employees.  Under the program, employees were given the opportunity, if they so chose, to cancel outstanding stock options previously granted to them at exercise prices ranging from $26.90 to $92.31, in exchange for new options to be granted on or shortly after August 26, 2002, over six months and one day from February 22, 2002, the date the old options were canceled.  The number of shares subject to the new options was determined by applying an exchange ratio in the range of 1:1 to 1:3 (i.e., one new option share for every three canceled option shares) based on the exercise price of the canceled option.  As a result of the exchange program, approximately 23.7 million old options were canceled on February 22, 2002, with approximately 16 million new options granted on, or shortly after, August 26, 2002.  The exchange program did not result in variable accounting, as it was designed to comply with FASB Interpretation No. 44 (FIN 44), “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock-Based Compensation.”  Also, the new options had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the new grant date, so no compensation expense was recorded as a result of the exchange program.

NOTE 21:  ACQUISITIONS

2004

National Semiconductor Corporation

On September 7, 2004, the Company completed the purchase of the imaging business of National Semiconductor Corporation, which develops and manufactures complimentary metal oxide semiconductor image sensor (CIS) devices.  The Company paid approximately $10 million cash at closing, which included all transaction related costs.  Under the terms of the acquisition, the Company acquired certain assets, including intellectual property and equipment, and hired approximately 50 employees that previously supported the imaging business.  This acquisition added resources and technologies that will further strengthen the Company’s ability to design next generation CIS devices that promise to deliver improved image quality with complex on-chip image processing circuitry.

Based on the Company’s purchase price allocation, approximately $6 million was assigned to research and development assets that were written off at the date of acquisition.  This amount was determined by identifying research and development projects that had not yet reached technological feasibility and for which no alternative future uses exist.  The value of the projects identified to be in progress was determined by estimating the future cash flows from the projects once commercialized, less costs to complete development and discounting these net cash flows back to their present value.  The discount rate used for these three research and development projects was 15%.  The charges for the write-off were included as research and development costs in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.

In addition, approximately $2 million of the purchase price was included in other long-term assets, as technology-based intangible assets in the Company’s Consolidate Statement of Financial Position at December 31, 2004.  The remaining purchase price was allocated among other current assets, property, plant, and equipment, and goodwill in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at December 31, 2004.

NexPress-Related Entities

On May 1, 2004, the Company completed the purchase of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG’s (Heidelberg) 50 percent interest in NexPress Solutions LLC, a 50/50 joint venture of Kodak and Heidelberg that makes high-end, on-demand digital color printing systems, and the equity of Heidelberg Digital LLC, a leading maker of digital black-and-white variable-data printing systems.  Kodak also announced the acquisition of NexPress GmbH, a German subsidiary of Heidelberg that provides engineering and development support, and certain inventory, assets, and employees of Heidelberg’s regional operations or market centers.  There was no consideration paid to Heidelberg at closing.  Under the terms of the acquisition, Kodak and Heidelberg agreed to use a performance-based earn-out formula whereby Kodak will make periodic payments to Heidelberg over a two-year period, if certain sales goals are met.  If all sales goals are met during the two calendar years ending December 31, 2005, the Company will pay a maximum of $150 million in cash.  During the first calendar year, no amounts were paid. Additional payments may also be made relating to the incremental sales of certain products in excess of a stated minimum number of units sold during a five-year period following the closing of the transaction.  This acquisition advances the Company’s strategy of diversifying its business portfolio, and accelerates its participation in the digital commercial printing industry.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.  The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

The excess of fair value of acquired net assets over cost of $50 million represents negative goodwill and was recorded as a component of other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

As of the acquisition date, management began to assess and formulate plans to restructure the NexPress-related entities.  As of December 31, 2004, management had completed its assessment and approved actions on some of the plans.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a related liability of $7 million.  This liability is included in the current liabilities amount reported above and represents restructuring charges related to the entities and net assets acquired.  As of December 31, 2004, management had not approved all plans and actions to be taken and, therefore the Company was not committed to specific actions.  Accordingly, the amount related to future actions cannot be estimated and has not been recorded.  However, once management approves and commits the Company to the plans, the accounting for the restructuring charges will be reflected in the purchase accounting as a reduction of negative goodwill to the extent the actions relate to the entities and the net assets acquired.  To the extent such actions relate to the Company’s historical ownership in the NexPress Solutions LLC joint venture, the restructuring charges will be reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings.  This amount was $1.1 million as of December 31, 2004.

China Lucky Film Co. Ltd.

On October 22, 2003, the Company announced that it signed a twenty-year agreement with China Lucky Film Corp.  On February 10, 2004, the Chinese government approved the Company’s acquisition of 20 percent of Lucky Film Co. Ltd. (Lucky Film), the largest maker of photographic film in China, in exchange for total consideration of approximately $167 million.  The total consideration of $167 million was composed of $90 million in cash, $40 million in additional net cash to build and upgrade manufacturing assets, $30 million of contributed assets consisting of a building and equipment, and $7 million for technical support and training that the Company will provide to Lucky Film.  Under the twenty-year agreement, Lucky Film will pay Kodak a royalty fee for the use of certain of the Company’s technologies as well as dividends on the Lucky Film shares that Kodak will acquire.  In addition, Kodak has obtained a twenty-year manufacturing exclusivity arrangement with Lucky Film as well as access to Lucky Film’s distribution network.


PAGE 143

As the total consideration of $167 million will be paid through 2005, the amount was discounted to $164 million for purposes of the purchase price allocation.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows: (in millions)

The acquired intangible assets consist of the manufacturing exclusivity agreement and the distribution rights agreement.  In accordance with the terms of the twenty-year agreement, the Company had acquired a 13 percent interest in Lucky Film as of March 31, 2004 and, therefore, $26 million of the $41 million of value allocated to the 20 percent interest was recorded as of March 31, 2004.  The Company will record the $15 million of value allocated to the additional 7 percent interest in Lucky Film when it completes the acquisition of those shares in 2007.  The Company’s interest in Lucky Film is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over Lucky Film’s operating and financial policies.

Scitex Digital Printing (Renamed Versamark)

On January 5, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of Scitex Digital Printing (SDP) from its parent for $252 million, inclusive of cash on hand at closing which totaled approximately $13 million.  This resulted in a net cash price of approximately $239 million, inclusive of transaction costs.  SDP is the leading supplier of high-speed, continuous inkjet printing systems, primarily serving the commercial and transactional printing sectors.  Customers use SDP’s products to print utility bills, banking and credit card statements, direct mail materials, as well as invoices, financial statements and other transactional documents.  SDP now operates under the name Kodak Versamark, Inc.  The acquisition will provide the Company with additional capabilities in the transactional printing and direct mail sectors while creating another path to commercialize proprietary inkjet technology.

PAGE 144

Of the $95 million of acquired intangible assets, $9 million was assigned to research and development assets that were written off at the date of acquisition.  This amount was determined by identifying research and development projects that had not yet reached technological feasibility and for which no alternative future uses exist.  The value of the projects identified to be in progress was determined by estimating the future cash flows from the projects once commercialized, less costs to complete development and discounting these net cash flows back to their present value.  The discount rate used for these three research and development projects was 17%.  The charges for the write-off were included as research and development costs in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The remaining $86 million of intangible assets, which relate to developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names, have useful lives ranging from two to fourteen years.  The $17 million of goodwill will be assigned to the Graphic Communications segment and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The pro forma results include amortization of the intangible assets presented above and exclude the write-off of research and development assets that were acquired from the acquisitions.  The amount of research and development assets, which were excluded above, was $3 million and $19 million for 2004 and 2003, respectively.   The pro forma results also include interest expense on debt assumed to finance the purchase of PracticeWorks.  The interest expense was calculated based on the assumption that approximately $450 million of the PracticeWorks purchase price was financed through debt with an annual interest rate of approximately 5%.

Chinon Industries, Inc.

On January 22, 2004, the Company announced an offer to tender the outstanding common shares of Chinon Industries, Inc. (Chinon), a 59% majority owned subsidiary of Kodak.  Chinon is engaged in the research, development and manufacturing of digital cameras.  Acquiring the remaining interest helped Kodak increase its worldwide design and manufacturing capability for consumer digital cameras and accessories.  Kodak completed its tender offer during the second quarter.  As a result of the tender, Kodak increased its ownership of Chinon to 100% by acquiring 9.4 million shares for approximately $32 million, inclusive of transaction costs.  Approximately $19 million of the purchase price was recorded as a reduction in minority interest and the remainder reported as goodwill in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

Algotec Systems Ltd.

During the second quarter of 2004, the Company completed the purchase price allocation related to its November 2003 acquisition of Algotec Systems Ltd. (Algotec).  As part of this allocation, the Company recorded intangible assets of approximately $15 million related to acquired developed technology and approximately $36 million of goodwill.

2003

Burrell Companies

The Company had a commitment under a put option arrangement with the Burrell Companies, unaffiliated entities, whereby the shareholders of those Burrell Companies had the ability to put 100% of the stock to Kodak for a fixed price plus the assumption of debt.  The option first became exercisable on October 1, 2002 and was ultimately exercised during the Company’s fourth quarter ended December 31, 2002.  Accordingly, on February 5, 2003, the Company acquired the Burrell Companies for a total purchase price of approximately $63 million, which was composed of approximately $54 million in cash and $9 million in assumed debt.  As the Company did not want to operate the business, they immediately entered into negotiations to sell the operations.  As negotiations proceeded, the Company determined that the consideration expected in connection with the sale would not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets.

Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $9 million in the second quarter of 2003.  This charge is reflected in the selling, general and administrative component within the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2003.  The Company ultimately closed on the sale of the Burrell Companies on October 6, 2003.  The difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the net assets in the Burrell Companies upon disposition was not material.

Applied Science Fiction

During the second quarter, the Company purchased Applied Science Fiction’s proprietary rapid film processing technology and other assets for approximately $32 million in cash.  Of the $32 million in purchase price, approximately $16 million represented goodwill.  The balance of the purchase price of approximately $16 million was allocated to the acquired intangible assets, consisting of developed technologies, which have useful lives ranging from two to six years. The goodwill and intangible assets were written off in 2004 as the Company has canceled its program to market an automatic film processing station due to diminishing market opportunity.

PracticeWorks, Inc.

On October 7, 2003, Kodak acquired all of the outstanding shares of PracticeWorks, Inc. (PracticeWorks), a leading provider of dental practice management software (DPMS) and digital radiographic imaging systems, for approximately $475 million in cash, inclusive of transaction costs.  Accordingly, Kodak also became the 100% owner of Paris-based subsidiary, Trophy Radiologie, S.A., a developer and manufacturer of dental digital radiography equipment, which PracticeWorks acquired in December 2002.  This acquisition will enable Kodak’s Health business to offer its customers a full spectrum of dental imaging products and services from traditional film to digital radiography and photography.  Earnings from continuing operations for 2003 include the results of PracticeWorks from the date of acquisition.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition and represents the final allocation of the purchase price.

Of the $179 million of acquired intangible assets, $10 million was assigned to research and development assets that were written off at the date of acquisition.  This amount was determined by identifying research and development projects that had not yet reached technological feasibility and for which no alternative future uses exist.  As of the acquisition date, there were two projects that met these criteria.  The value of the projects identified to be in progress was determined by estimating the future cash flows from the projects once commercialized, less costs to complete development, and discounting these net cash flows back to their present value.  The discount rate used for these projects was 14%.  The charges for the write-off were included as research and development costs in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The remaining $169 million of intangible assets have useful lives ranging from three to eighteen years.  The intangible assets that make up that amount include customer relationships of $123 million (eighteen-year weighted-average useful life), developed technology of $44 million (seven-year weighted-average useful life), and other assets of $2 million (three-year weighted-average useful life).  The $350 million of goodwill will be assigned to the Health segment and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The pro forma results include amortization of the intangible assets presented above and interest expense on debt assumed to finance the purchase.  The interest expense was calculated based on the assumption that approximately $450 million of the purchase price was financed through debt with an annual interest rate of approximately 5%.  The pro forma results exclude the write-off of research and development assets that were acquired from the acquisition.  The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been completed as of the beginning of each fiscal period presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results.

Laser-Pacific Media Corporation

On October 31, 2003, the Company announced that it had completed the acquisition of Laser-Pacific Media Corporation (Laser-Pacific), a leading Hollywood-based post-production company for approximately $31 million or $4.22 per share.  At the time of the closing, Laser-Pacific had approximately $6 million of net debt.  The acquisition will allow the Company to establish a major presence in television post-production and further extends Kodak’s current digital services capabilities in the feature film market.  Approximately $2 million of the purchase price was allocated to customer-related intangible assets that have a useful life of four years.  Approximately $10 million of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill, which is reported in the Company’s Photography segment.  The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.  Earnings from continuing operations for 2003 include the results of Laser-Pacific from the date of acquisition.

Algotec Systems Ltd.

On November 26, 2003, the Company announced that it had completed the acquisition of Algotec Systems Ltd. (Algotec), a leading developer of advanced picture-archiving-and-communications systems (PACS) in Raanana, Israel, for approximately $43 million in cash.  The acquisition improves the Company’s position in the growing market for Healthcare Information Systems (HCIS), which enable radiology departments worldwide to digitally manage and store medical images and information.

Kodak Wuxi China Limited

On December 26, 2003, an unaffiliated investor in Kodak Wuxi China Limited (KWCL) exercised its rights under a put option arrangement, which required Kodak to repurchase a 30% outstanding minority equity interest in this subsidiary for approximately $15 million in cash.  The purchase price allocation was completed in 2004, at which time the approximately $3 million excess purchase price was allocated to goodwill and other identifiable assets.


PAGE 148

Kodak China Company Limited

On December 31, 2003, an unaffiliated investor in Kodak China Company Limited (KCCL) exercised its rights under a put option arrangement, which required Kodak to repurchase a 10% outstanding minority equity interest in this subsidiary for approximately $42 million in cash.  The purchase price allocation was completed in the third quarter of 2004, at which time the approximately $3 million excess purchase price was allocated to goodwill and other identifiable assets.

Other

During the first quarter, the Company paid approximately $21 million for the rights to certain technology.  As this technology was still in the development phase and not yet ready for commercialization, it qualified as in-process research and development.  Additionally, management determined that there are no alternative future uses for this technology beyond its initial intended application.  Accordingly, the entire purchase price was expensed in the year ended December 31, 2003 as research and development costs in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

During 2003, the Company completed a number of additional acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3 million, which were individually immaterial to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2002

ENCAD, Inc.

On January 24, 2002, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the voting common stock of ENCAD, Inc., (ENCAD) for a total purchase price of approximately $25 million.  The purchase price was paid almost entirely in Kodak common stock.  The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired of approximately $6 million has been allocated to goodwill.  Earnings from continuing operations for 2002 include the results of ENCAD from the date of acquisition.

Kodak India Limited

On September 11, 2002, the Company initiated an offer to acquire all of the outstanding minority equity interests in Kodak India Limited (Kodak India), a majority owned subsidiary of the Company.  The voluntary offer to the minority equity interest holders of Kodak India was for the acquisition of approximately 2.8 million shares representing the full 25.24% minority ownership in the subsidiary.  In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company purchased 2.1 million shares for approximately $16 million in cash.  Upon completion of the purchase price allocation in 2003, the Company recorded essentially all of the excess purchase price of $8 million as goodwill.  In December 2002, the Company also made an offer to purchase the remaining 6.04% outstanding minority interest in Kodak India for approximately $4.9 million.  This additional repurchase was completed during 2004.  Kodak India operates in each of the Company’s reportable segments and is engaged in the manufacture, trading and marketing of cameras, films, photo chemicals and other imaging products.

Kodak China Company Limited

On December 31, 2002, an unaffiliated investor in KCCL exercised its rights under a put option arrangement, which required Kodak to repurchase a 10% outstanding minority equity interest in this subsidiary for approximately $44 million in cash.  Due to the timing of this acquisition, the purchase price allocation was not complete as of December 31, 2002.  Accordingly, the purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired of approximately $18 million was recorded in other long-term assets in the Company’s 2002 Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  During 2003, the Company completed the purchase price allocation.  As a result of this allocation, the Company recorded goodwill of approximately $13 million and recognized approximately $5 million in amortizable intangible assets.

Other

During 2002, the Company completed a number of additional acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $14 million, which were individually immaterial to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 22:  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

2004

On August 13, 2004, the Company completed the sale of the assets and business of the Remote Sensing Systems operation, including the stock of Kodak’s wholly owned subsidiary, Research Systems, Inc. (collectively known as RSS), to ITT Industries for $725 million in cash.  RSS, a leading provider of specialized imaging solutions to the aerospace and defense community, was part of the Company’s commercial and government systems’ operation within the Commercial Imaging segment.  Its customers include NASA, other U.S. government agencies, and aerospace and defense companies.   The sale was completed on August 13, 2004.  RSS had net sales for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 of approximately $312 million and $424 million, respectively.  RSS had earnings before taxes for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 of approximately $44 million and $66 million, respectively.

The sale of RSS resulted in an after-tax gain of approximately $439 million.  The after-tax gain excludes the potential impacts from any settlement gains or losses that may be incurred in connection with the Company’s pension plan of approximately $55 million, as this amount will be recognized upon final transfer of plan assets, which is expected to occur during 2005.

The contract with ITT includes a provision under which Kodak may receive up to $35 million in cash (the “Cash Amount”) from ITT depending on the amount of pension plan assets that are ultimately transferred from Kodak’s defined benefit pension plan trust in the U.S. to ITT.  The total amount of assets that Kodak will ultimately transfer to ITT will be actuarially determined in accordance with the applicable sections under the Treasury Regulations and ERISA (the “Transferred Assets”).  The Cash Amount will be equal to 50% of the amount by which the Transferred Assets exceed the maximum amount of assets that would be required to be transferred in accordance with the applicable U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (the “CAS Assets”), up to $35 million.  Based on preliminary actuarial valuations, the estimated Cash Amount is approximately $30 million.  Accordingly, the after-tax gain from the sale of RSS includes an estimated pre-tax amount of $30 million, representing the Company’s estimate of the Cash Amount that will be received following the transfer of the pension plan assets to ITT.  This amount has been recorded in assets of discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2004.  Upon completion of the final actuarial valuation (expected during 2005), which will determine the Transferred Assets, the gain will be adjusted accordingly.

Total Company earnings from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 of approximately $36 million (excluding the $439 million RSS after-tax gain) and $64 million, respectively, were net of provisions for income taxes of $6 million and  $10 million, respectively.

2003

During the three month period ended March 31, 2003, the Company repurchased certain properties that were initially sold in connection with the 1994 divestiture of Sterling Winthrop Inc., which represented a portion of the Company’s non-imaging health businesses.  The repurchase of these properties allows the Company to directly manage the environmental remediation that the Company is required to perform in connection with those properties, which will result in better overall cost control (see Note 11, “Commitments and Contingencies”).  In addition, the repurchase eliminated the uncertainty regarding the recoverability of tax benefits associated with the indemnification payments that were previously being made to the purchaser.  Accordingly, the Company reversed a tax reserve of approximately $15 million through earnings from discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, which was previously established through discontinued operations.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2003, the Company received cash relating to the favorable outcome of litigation associated with the 1994 sale of Sterling Winthrop Inc.  The related gain of $19 million was recognized in loss from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2002.  The cash receipt is reflected in the net cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations component in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2003.

During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a net of tax credit of $7 million through discontinued operations for the reversal of an environmental reserve, which was primarily attributable to positive developments in the Company’s remediation efforts relating to a formerly owned manufacturing site in the U.S.  In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company reversed state income tax reserves of $3 million, net of tax, through discontinued operations due to the favorable outcome of tax audits in connection with a formerly owned business.

2002

The net loss from discontinued operations of $23 million in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 reflects losses incurred from the shutdown of Kodak Global Imaging, Inc., which amounted to $35 million net of tax, partially offset by net of tax earnings of $12 million related to the favorable outcome of litigation associated with the 1994 sale of Sterling Winthrop Inc.

NOTE 23:  SEGMENT INFORMATION

Current Segment Reporting Structure

The Company has four reportable segments aligned based on aggregation of similar products and services: Digital & Film Imaging Systems (D&FIS); Health; Commercial Imaging; and Graphic Communications.  The balance of the Company’s operations, which individually and in the aggregate do not meet the criteria of a reportable segment, are reported in All Other.  A description of the segments is as follows:

Digital & Film Imaging Systems Segment:  The Digital & Film Imaging Systems segment derives revenues from consumer film products, sales of origination and print film to the entertainment industry, sales of professional film products, traditional and inkjet photo paper, chemicals, traditional and digital cameras, digital printers, photoprocessing equipment and services, and digitization services, including online services.

Health Segment:  The Health segment derives revenues from the sale of digital products, including laser imagers, media, computed and direct radiography equipment and healthcare information systems, as well as traditional medical products, including analog film, equipment, chemistry, services and specialty products for the mammography, oncology and dental fields.


PAGE 151

Commercial Imaging Segment:  The Commercial Imaging segment is composed of document imaging products and services, commercial and government systems products and services, and optics.  The Remote Sensing Systems business, which was sold to ITT Industries in August 2004, is accounted for as a discontinued operation in prior periods and the current period up through the date of sale.

Graphic Communications Segment:  The Graphic Communications segment is composed of the Company’s equity investments in Kodak Polychrome Graphics (Kodak’s 50/50 joint venture with Sun Chemical) and NexPress (Kodak’s 50/50 joint venture with Heidelberg) prior to its acquisition in May 2004, and the graphics and wide-format inkjet businesses.  This segment also includes the results of Scitex Digital Printing, which was acquired in January 2004 and has since been renamed Kodak Versamark, as well as the results of the NexPress-related entities subsequent to the acquisition in May 2004.

All Other:  All Other is composed of Kodak’s display and components business for image sensors and other small, miscellaneous businesses.  It also includes development initiatives in consumer inkjet technologies.

Transactions between segments, which are immaterial, are made on a basis intended to reflect the market value of the products, recognizing prevailing market prices and distributor discounts.  Differences between the reportable segments’ operating results and assets and the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate primarily to items held at the corporate level, and to other items excluded from segment operating measurements.

No single customer represented 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales in any period presented.

New Kodak Operating Model and Change in Reporting Structure

As of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company reported financial information for four reportable segments (Digital & Film Imaging Systems, Health, Commercial Imaging, and Graphic Communications) and All Other.  However, in September of 2004, the Company announced the realignment of its operations to accelerate growth in the commercial, consumer and health markets.  The move is designed to enhance the Company’s operational performance and to accelerate profitable growth.  In connection with the realignment, the Company’s new reporting structure will be implemented beginning in the first quarter of 2005 as outlined below:

Digital & Film Imaging Systems Segment (D&FIS):  Subsequent to the realignment, the D&FIS segment comprises the same products and services as the current D&FIS segment with the addition of aerial and industrial film.

Health Segment:  There were no changes to the Health segment. 

Graphic Communications Segment:  As of January 1, 2005, the Graphic Communications segment is composed of Encad, Inc., Kodak Versamark, the NexPress-related entities and Kodak Polychrome Graphics (Kodak’s 50/50 joint venture with Sun Chemical), which includes the graphics and wide-format inkjet businesses.  In addition, high-speed document scanners, microfilm and worldwide service and support, as well as business process services are included with Graphic Communications.   

All Other:  All Other is composed of Kodak’s display and components business for image sensors and other small, miscellaneous businesses.  It also includes development initiatives in consumer inkjet technologies.

Each quarter is calculated as a discrete period and the sum of the four quarters may not equal the full year amount.  Effective December 15, 2004, the Company adopted the provisions of EITF 04-8.  The consensus reached in this issue requires the dilutive effect of contingent convertible debt instruments with market price contingencies to be included in diluted earnings per share, regardless of whether the market price contingency has been met.  The Company currently has contingent convertible debt instruments outstanding that are convertible if the market price of our common stock exceeds $37.224 per share for a specified period of time.  This debt was issued in October 2003.  EITF 04-8 requires restatement of all periods presented for which contingent convertible debt instruments were outstanding.  The Company’s diluted net earnings per share in the above table includes the effect of EITF 04-8, which had no material impact on the Company’s diluted earnings per share.

Changes in Estimates Recorded During the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2003 (Restated)

During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2003, the Company recorded approximately $22 million relating to changes in estimates with respect to certain of its employee benefit and incentive compensation accruals.  These changes in estimates favorably impacted the results for the fourth quarter by $.07 per share.

NOTE 25:  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 12, 2005, the Company announced that it would become the sole owner of Kodak Polychrome Graphics (KPG) through redemption of Sun Chemical Corporation’s 50 percent interest in the KPG joint venture.  The transaction will further establish the Company as a leader in the graphic communications industry and will complement the Company’s existing business in this market.  Under the terms of the transaction, the Company will redeem all of Sun Chemical’s shares in KPG by providing $317 million in cash at closing, $200 million in cash in the third quarter of 2006, and $50 million in cash annually from 2008 through 2013, for a total of $817 million.  The Company will fund the redemption through internally generated cash flow.  The Company will initially operate KPG as a wholly owned subsidiary within the Graphic Communications segment.  The Company completed its acquisition of KPG on April 1, 2005.

On January 31, 2005, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Creo, Inc. (Creo), a premier supplier of pre-press systems used by commercial printers worldwide.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay approximately $980 million in cash, or $16.50 per share, for all the outstanding shares of Creo, on a fully diluted basis.  The transaction will provide the Company an innovative digital pre-press product portfolio and established relationships in the commercial printing segment.  The transaction, which has been approved by the Company’s and Creo’s respective boards of directors, is to be carried out by statutory plan of arrangement under Canadian law and is subject to regulatory approvals, the approval of Creo’s shareholders, and court approval.  Upon the closing of the transaction, Creo’s operations will become part of the Graphic Communications segment.  The transaction is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2005.

None.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  The Company’s management, with participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  As described below under Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, the Company has identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)).  The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as a result of the material weaknesses, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  Management excluded the NexPress-related entities and Scitex Digital Printing (renamed Kodak Versamark) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting because they were acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during 2004.  The NexPress-related entities and Scitex Digital Printing are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company that represent 2% and 2%, respectively, of consolidated total assets and 1% and 1%, respectively, of consolidated revenue as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004.


PAGE 162

Based on our assessment and those criteria, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 as a result of material weaknesses in (a) internal controls surrounding the accounting for income taxes and (b) internal controls to validate the accuracy of participant census data and the monitoring of benefit payments for pension and other postretirement benefit plans.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. 

Internal Controls Surrounding the Accounting for Income Taxes:

The principal factors contributing to the material weakness in accounting for income taxes were as follows:

 

Lack of local tax law expertise or failure to engage local tax law expertise resulting in the incorrect assumption of reduced tax expense associated with restructuring charges in various foreign locations in 2004 and 2003;

 

 

 

 

Inadequate knowledge and application of the provisions of SFAS No. 109 by tax personnel resulting in errors in the accounting for income taxes;

 

 

 

 

Lack of clarity in roles and responsibilities within the global tax organization related to income tax accounting;

 

 

 

 

Insufficient or ineffective review and approval practices within the global tax and finance organizations resulting in the errors not being prevented or detected in a timely manner; and

 

 

 

 

Lack of processes to effectively reconcile the income tax general ledger accounts to supporting detail and adequate verification of data used in computations.

This material weakness contributed to the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 2003, for each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the first, second and third quarters for 2004, and in the Company recording audit adjustments to the fourth quarter 2004 financial statements.  Additionally, if this material weakness is not corrected, it could result in a material misstatement of the income tax accounts that would result in a material misstatement to annual or interim financial statements that might not be prevented or detected. 

Internal Controls Surrounding the Accounting for Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans:

The principal factors contributing to the material weakness in the internal controls to validate the accuracy of participant census data and the monitoring of benefit payments for pension and other postretirement benefit plans included the following control deficiencies as discovered by management during year end 2004 closing procedures and in conjunction with testing of controls during management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting:

 

A deficiency in the design of controls to validate actual versus estimated benefit payments in the accounting for other postretirement benefits.  The design deficiency was an erroneous belief that actual payment data could not be captured at the required level of detail to enable adjustment of actuarial estimates on a quarterly basis.

 

 

 

 

A failure to demonstrate operating effectiveness in controls surrounding reconciliation of participant census data between source systems and the plan actuary models for various domestic and international pension and other postretirement benefit plans.  While analytical procedures to validate the reasonableness of census data extracts were employed, they were not sufficiently robust to prevent or detect errors in census data which could result in more than a remote possibility of a material misstatement of the Company’s financial statements.


PAGE 163

This material weakness resulted in adjustments that were included in the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 2003, for each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the first, second and third quarters for 2004, and in the Company recording adjustments to the fourth quarter 2004 financial statements.  Additionally, if this material weakness is not corrected, it could result in a material misstatement of the pension and postretirement accounts that would result in a material misstatement to annual or interim financial statements that might not be prevented or detected. 

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has audited management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, as stated in their report which appears on page 77 of this Form 10-K under the heading, Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

Remediation Plans for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Accounting for Income Taxes

The Company is implementing enhancements to its internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance that errors and control deficiencies in its accounting for income taxes will not recur.  These steps include:

 

The creation and staffing of a Tax Accounting Manager in the Controllers organization to provide oversight over the income tax accounting performed by the tax organization as well as other actions to strengthen the income tax accounting function within the tax organization.

 

 

 

 

The Company, in conjunction with external advisors, has completed a review of all significant income tax related accounts on the balance sheet including a review of income tax accounting relating to significant restructuring and acquisition or divestiture transactions.

 

 

 

 

The Company is implementing definitive standards for detailed documentation and reconciliations supporting the deferred tax balances including the review and approval of related journal entries by appropriate subject matter experts.

 

 

 

 

The Company has engaged third party advisors to complete an initiative to clarify and enhance roles and responsibilities across the function including levels of authority based on an assessment of the qualifications of staff and management.  In connection with this initiative, the Company will be upgrading its tax personnel.

 

 

 

 

The Company is investigating the implementation of an IT solution to enhance controls with respect to the collection, tracking and bookkeeping of detailed deferred tax information on a global basis.

 

 

 

 

The Company will develop comprehensive income tax accounting training programs for tax and certain finance personnel.

 

 

 

 

The Company will enhance audit procedures surrounding accounting for income taxes.

Accounting for Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

The Company is implementing enhancements to its internal control over financial reporting for pensions and other postretirement benefits to provide reasonable assurance that errors and control deficiencies of this type will not recur.  These steps include:

 

The Company has obtained actual payment data for other postretirement benefits and in conjunction with its actuary, recorded the appropriate financial statement adjustments.  On a prospective basis, quarterly reports of actual payment data will be utilized in the Company’s financial reporting procedures.

 

 

 

 

The Company will complete the installation and operational execution of a global IT system created with the assistance of external advisors to enhance controls with respect to the collection, tracking and validation of benefit arrangements, census data and other assumptions related to pension and other postretirement benefit plans on a global basis.  This system was developed during 2004 and was partially effective during the Q4 closing process.


PAGE 164

 

The Company has completed reconciliations of census data between Company source records and plan actuary models for material pension and postretirement benefit plans.  Financial adjustments required as a result of these reconciliations were recorded in the 2004 financial results.

 

 

 

 

Actions will be undertaken to strengthen the functions responsible for the reconciliation of pension and postretirement benefit plan census data including appropriate training of personnel.

Until these changes are completed, the material weaknesses will continue to exist.  Management presently anticipates that the changes necessary to remediate these weaknesses will be in place by the end of the third quarter of 2005.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as otherwise discussed herein, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
