 Item 8.01 Other Events.

Eastman Kodak Company (the “Company”) filed its 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2011.  As a result of goodwill impairment testing conducted by the Company between January 26, 2011 and February 25, 2011, the Company’s net loss, as previously furnished on Form 8-K on January 26, 2011, has been revised to reflect a non-cash goodwill impairment charge.  Net loss has also been revised from the amount reported on January 26, 2011 due to a change in estimate which decreased an accrual by $7 million.

On January 26, 2011 the Company reported a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $70 million, or $.26 per basic and diluted share.  The Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 as reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K is $687 million, or $2.56 per basic and diluted share.  The $617 million increase in net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 is primarily due to the impairment of goodwill related to the Company’s Film, Photofinishing, and Entertainment Group described below.

As a result of its goodwill impairment testing conducted in connection with the preparation of its 2010 annual financial statements to be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company concluded that goodwill associated with its Film, Photofinishing, and Entertainment Group was impaired, resulting in a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $626 million.  The goodwill impairment charge is more fully disclosed in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
