XEROX CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, except per-share data and where otherwise noted)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
References herein to we, us, our, the Company and Xerox refer to Xerox Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated by reference in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2008 Annual Report), and the interim reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. You should read these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2008 Annual Report.
In our opinion, all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year.
For convenience and ease of reference, we refer to the financial statement caption Income (Loss) before Income Taxes and Equity Income as Pre-tax Income (Loss).
On January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51, (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 810-10-65) which changed the presentation requirements for noncontrolling (minority) interests. Refer to Note 2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements Business Combinations and Noncontrolling Interests for more information.
Note 2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FASB Establishes Accounting Standards Codification
In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (ASC Topic 105) which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification or ASC) as the official single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All existing accounting standards are superseded. All other accounting guidance not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification also includes all relevant Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections within the Codification.
Following the Codification, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification.
The Codification is not intended to change GAAP, but it will change the way GAAP is organized and presented. The Codification is effective for our third-quarter 2009 financial statements and the principal impact on our financial statements is limited to disclosures as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. In order to ease the transition to the Codification, we are providing the Codification cross-reference alongside the references to the standards issued and adopted prior to the adoption of the Codification.

Fair Value Accounting
In 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (ASC Topic 820) which defines fair value, establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance is applicable whenever another accounting pronouncement requires or permits assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value. It does not expand or require any new fair value measures; however the application of this statement may change current practice. We adopted this guidance for financial assets and liabilities effective January 1, 2008 and for non financial assets and liabilities effective January 1, 2009. The adoption, which primarily affected the valuation of our derivative contracts, did not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued the following updates that provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities:
| FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (ASC Topic 820-10-65). This update relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms the need to exercise judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. |
| FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (ASC topic 320-10-65). This update applies to investments in debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairments may be recorded. If an entitys management asserts that it does not have the intent to sell a debt security and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, then an entity may separate other-than-temporary impairments into two components: 1) the amount related to credit losses (recorded in earnings) and 2) all other amounts (recorded in Other comprehensive income). |
| FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (ASC Topic 320-10-65). This update requires fair value disclosures for financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet at fair value on a quarterly basis. |
We elected to early adopt these updates effective March 31, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
In August 2009, FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05 which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Overall (ASC Topic 820-10) to provide guidance on the fair value measurement of liabilities. This update requires clarification for circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: 1) a valuation technique that uses either the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as an asset; or 2) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles in ASC Topic 820 such as the income and market approach to valuation. The amendments in this update also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. This update further clarifies that if the fair value of a liability is determined by reference to a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability, that price would be considered a Level 1 measurement in the fair value hierarchy. Similarly, if the identical liability has a quoted price when traded as an asset in an active market, it is also a Level 1 fair value measurement if no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required. This update is effective for our fourth quarter 2009.
Business Combinations and Noncontrolling Interests
In 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (ASC Topic 805). This guidance requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction (whether a full or partial acquisition); establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; requires expensing of most transaction and restructuring costs; and requires the acquirer to disclose the information necessary to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009 and have applied it to all business combinations prospectively from that date. The impact of ASC 805 on our consolidated financial statements will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions we consummate in the future.
8
In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FSP FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (ASC Topic 805-20). This updated guidance amended the accounting treatment for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination and requires that pre-acquisition contingencies be recognized at fair value, if fair value can be reasonably determined. If fair value cannot be reasonably determined, measurement should be based on the best estimate in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (ASC Topic 405). This updated guidance was effective January 1, 2009.
In 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, (ASC Topic 810-10-65). This guidance requires companies to present noncontrolling (minority) interests as equity (as opposed to a liability) and provided guidance on the accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests. In addition, it requires companies to report a consolidated net income (loss) measure that includes the amount attributable to such noncontrolling interests. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009, and have applied it to noncontrolling interests prospectively from that date. The presentation and disclosure requirements we applied retrospectively for all periods presented. As a result of this adoption, we reclassified noncontrolling interests in the amount of $120 from Other long-term liabilities to Equity in the December 31, 2008 balance sheet.
Revenue Recognition
In October 2009, the FASB issued the following ASUs:
| ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic 605) - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force; |
| ASU No. 2009-14, Software (ASC Topic 985) - Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. |
ASU No. 2009-13: This guidance modifies the fair value requirements of ASC subtopic 605-25 Revenue Recognition-Multiple Element Arrangements by allowing the use of the best estimate of selling price in addition to VSOE and VOE (now referred to as TPE standing for third-party evidence) for determining the selling price of a deliverable. A vendor is now required to use its best estimate of the selling price when VSOE or TPE of the selling price cannot be determined. In addition, the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration is no longer permitted.
ASU No. 2009-14: This guidance modifies the scope of ASC subtopic 965-605 Software-Revenue Recognition to exclude from its requirements (a) non-software components of tangible products and (b) software components of tangible products that are sold, licensed, or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible products essential functionality.
These updates require expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures and are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. However, companies may elect to adopt as early as interim periods ended September 30, 2009. These updates may be applied either prospectively from the beginning of the fiscal year for new or materially modified arrangements or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting these updates on our consolidated financial statements.
Other Accounting Changes
In June 2009, the FASB issued the following standards:
| SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (ASC Topic 810-10). This updated guidance requires an analysis to determine whether a variable interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. It also requires an ongoing reassessment and eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining whether an entity is the primary beneficiary. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010 and we are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this update on our consolidated financial statements. |
9
| SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, (ASC Topic 810). This updated guidance removed the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and removed the exception from applying consolidation guidance to these entities. This update also clarified the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting. ASC Topic 810 is effective for our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this update on our consolidated financial statements. |
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (ASC Topic 855). This guidance is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for selecting this date, that is, whether this date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This guidance was effective for our second quarter ended June 30, 2009.
In 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 132(R)-1, Employers Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (ASC Topic 715-20-65). This guidance will expand disclosure by requiring the following new disclosures: 1) how investment allocation decisions are made by management; 2) major categories of plan assets; and 3) significant concentrations of risk. Additionally, ASC 715-20-65 will require an employer to disclose information about the valuation of plan assets similar to that required in ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This guidance is effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The principal impact will be expanded disclosure regarding our benefit plan assets.
During 2009, the FASB has issued several ASUs ASU No. 2009-02 through ASU No. 2009-15. Except for ASUs No. 2009-05, 2009-13 and 2009-14 discussed above, the ASUs entail technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance related to specialized industries or entities and therefore have minimal, if any, impact on the Company.
Note 3 Segment Reporting
Our reportable segments are consistent with how we manage the business and view the markets we serve. Our reportable segments are Production, Office and Other. The Production and Office segments are centered on strategic product groups that share common technology, manufacturing and product platforms, as well as classes of customers.
The Production segment includes black-and-white products which operate at speeds over 90 pages per minute (ppm) excluding 95 ppm with an embedded controller and color products which operate at speeds over 40 ppm excluding 50, 60 and 70 ppm products with an embedded controller. Products include the Xerox iGen3® and iGen4 digital color production press, Xerox Nuvera®, DocuTech®, DocuPrint® and DocuColor® families, as well as older technology light-lens products. These products are sold predominantly through direct sales channels to Fortune 1000, graphic arts, government, education and other public sector customers.
The Office segment includes black-and-white products which operate at speeds up to 90 ppm as well as 95 ppm with an embedded controller and color products up to 40 ppm as well as 50, 60 and 70 ppm products with an embedded controller. Products include the suite of CopyCentre®, WorkCentre®, WorkCentre Pro, Phaser® and ColorQube digital multifunction systems, DocuColor color multifunction products, color laser, solid ink color printers and multifunction devices, monochrome laser desktop printers, digital and light-lens copiers and facsimile products and non-Xerox branded products with similar specifications. These products are sold through direct and indirect sales channels to global, national and mid-size commercial customers as well as government, education and other public sector customers.
The segment classified as Other includes several units, none of which met the thresholds for separate segment reporting. This group primarily includes Xerox Supplies Business Group (predominantly paper sales), Value-Added Services, Wide Format Systems, Xerox Technology Enterprises, royalty and licensing revenues, GIS network integration solutions and electronic presentation systems, equity net income and non-allocated Corporate items. Other segment profit (loss) includes the operating results from these entities, other less significant businesses, our equity in net income from Fuji Xerox and certain costs which have not been allocated to the Production and Office segments, including non-financing interest as well as other items included in Other expenses, net.

Note 4 Acquisitions
In September 2009, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) in a cash and stock transaction. Upon completion of the acquisition, each outstanding share of ACS common stock will be converted into the right to receive a combination of 4.935 shares of Xerox common stock and $18.60 in cash for a combined value of $57.09 per share, or approximately $6.1 billion; based on the closing price of Xerox common stock of $7.80 on October 19, 2009. We will also assume ACSs debt, which was $2.3 billion as of September 30, 2009, and issue convertible preferred stock with a liquidation value of $300 to ACSs Class B shareholder. The cash portion of the acquisition, as well as the repayment of approximately $1.8 billion of ACSs assumed debt is expected to be funded through a combination of cash-on-hand, borrowing under our existing Credit Facility and the issuance of senior notes in the capital markets. In October 2009, we completed a successful syndication of a $3.0 billion interim Bridge Loan Facility with commitments from several banks that may be used for funding in the event the transaction closes prior to obtaining permanent financing in the capital markets. The Bridge Loan Facility will mature on the first anniversary of the closing date of the ACS acquisition, subject to two extensions: 1) for up to $1.5 billion to the second anniversary of the closing date, and 2) for up to $750 to the third anniversary of the closing date. Debt Issuance costs for the Bridge Loan Facility are expected to be approximately $60 and will be amortized over the term of the Bridge Loan Facility. If it becomes probable that the bridge financing (or portions thereof) will not be used prior to the commitment expiration date (e.g., permanent financing is secured), the remaining unamortized portion of the commitment fee (or portions thereof) at the date of permanent financing will be immediately recognized through earnings as Other expense.

ACS is a provider of business process outsourcing (BPO) and information technology (IT) services and solutions to commercial and government clients worldwide. ACS delivers a full range of BPO and IT services, as well as end-to-end solutions to the public and private sectors and supports a variety of industries including education, energy, financial, government, healthcare, retail and transportation. ACSs revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 were $6.5 billion and they employed 74,000 people and operated in over 100 countries.
The purchase price is expected to be primarily allocated to intangible assets and goodwill based on third-party valuations and managements estimates. The acquisition of ACS is expected to close in the first quarter of 2010, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, the satisfaction of certain conditions related to the debt financing for the transaction and other usual and customary closing conditions.
In February 2009, Global Imaging Systems, Inc. (GIS) acquired ComDoc, Inc. (ComDoc) for approximately $145 in cash. ComDoc is one of the larger independent office technology dealers in the U.S. and expands GISs coverage in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia. This acquisition continues GISs expansion of a national network of office technology suppliers to serve its growing base of small and mid-size businesses. The operating results of ComDoc are not material to our financial statements and are included within our Office segment from the date of acquisition. The purchase price was primarily allocated to intangible assets and goodwill based on third-party valuations and managements estimates.

Equity in net income of Fuji Xerox is affected by certain adjustments to reflect the deferral of profit associated with intercompany sales. These adjustments may result in recorded equity income that is different from that implied by our 25% ownership interest. Equity income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 includes after-tax restructuring charges of $40 and $15, respectively, primarily reflecting Fuji Xeroxs continued cost-reduction initiatives.

Note 8 Debt
Senior Notes
In May 2009, we issued $750 of 8.25% senior notes due 2014 (the 2014 Senior Notes) at 99.982 percent of par resulting in net proceeds of approximately $745. The 2014 Senior Notes accrue interest at the rate of 8.25% per annum, payable semi-annually and, as a result of the discount, have a weighted average effective interest rate of 8.25%. Debt issuance costs of approximately $5 were deferred. The 2014 Senior Notes rank equally with our other existing senior unsecured indebtedness. Proceeds from the offering were used to repay borrowings under the Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.
Zero Coupon Notes
In July 2009, we repaid a $300 Zero Coupon Note. The total repayment of $336 included interest accretion of $36. This Note was repaid when the holders exercised a put option to redeem the bond prior to the scheduled maturity date of July 30, 2022.
In August 2009, we repaid a $100 Zero Coupon Note. The total repayment of $112 included interest accretion of $12. This Note was repaid when the holder exercised a put option to redeem the bond prior to the scheduled maturity date of August 29, 2022.
Credit Facility
In April 2009, we amended our $2 billion Credit Facility with affiliates of Citibank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and a group of lenders. The amendment increased the permitted leverage ratio (principal debt/consolidated EBITDA) to 4.25x through June 30, 2010 and 3.75x thereafter. The amendment included a re-pricing of the Credit Facility such that borrowings will bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread (including fees) that varies between 2.50% and 4.50%, subject to our credit rating at the time of borrowing.
In October 2009, in connection with entering into the Bridge Loan Facility as part of the acquisition of ACS, we again amended our $2 billion Credit Facility. The amendment extended the permitted leverage ratio of 4.25x through September 30, 2010, which will change to 4.00x through December 31, 2010, and to 3.75x thereafter. The amendment also included the following changes:
| The definition of principal debt was changed such that prior to the closing of the ACS acquisition, it will be calculated net of cash proceeds from certain debt issuances associated with the pre-funding of the ACS acquisition. |
| A portion of the Credit Facility that had a maturity date of April 30, 2012, was extended to a maturity date of April 30, 2013, consistent with the remainder of the facility. Accordingly, after this amendment, approximately $1.6 billion, or approximately 80% of the Credit Facility, has a maturity date of April 30, 2013. |
Based on our current credit rating, the applicable all-in spread for the Credit Facility would be 3.50%.

Note 10 Financial Instruments
(1) Interest Rate Risk Management
We use interest rate swap agreements to manage our interest rate exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of variable and fixed rate debt. These derivatives may be designated as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges depending on the nature of the risk being hedged.
Fair Value Hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, pay variable/receive fixed interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $1,375 and $675, and net asset fair values of $13 and $53, respectively, were designated and accounted for as fair value hedges. The swaps were structured to hedge the fair value of related debt by converting them from fixed rate instruments to variable rate instruments. No ineffective portion was recorded to earnings during 2009 or 2008.
The following is a summary of our fair value hedges at September 30, 2009:

Total |
$ | 1,375 | $ | 13 | ||||||||||||
Cash Flow Hedges
We have a pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swap with a notional amount of $150 and a net liability fair value of $1 and $2 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, that was designated and accounted for as a cash flow hedge. This swap was structured to hedge the LIBOR interest rate of the floating Senior Notes due 2009 by converting it from a variable rate instrument to a fixed rate instrument. No ineffective portion was recorded to earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and all components of the derivative gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedged effectiveness.
Terminated Swaps
There were no swaps terminated during the three months ended June 30 and September 30, 2009, which were designated as fair value hedges. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, interest rate swaps which had been designated as fair value hedges of certain debt instruments were terminated. These terminated interest rate swaps had an aggregate notional value of $675. The associated net fair value adjustment of $(34) to the debt instruments is being amortized as an offset to interest expense over the remaining term of the related notes.
(2) Foreign Exchange Risk Management
Xerox is a global company that is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of its business. As a part of our foreign exchange risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, to hedge certain foreign currency exposures thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting fair values of assets and liabilities. Xerox does not use derivative contracts for speculative purposes.
Foreign Currency Denominated Assets and Liabilities
We generally utilize forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge these exposures. Changes in the value of these currency derivatives are recorded in Currency losses, net together with the offsetting foreign exchange gains and losses on the underlying assets and liabilities.
Forecasted Purchases and Sales in Foreign Currency
We generally utilize forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge these anticipated transactions. These contracts generally mature in six months or less. Some of these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.
15
Summary of Foreign Exchange Hedging Positions
At September 30, 2009, we had outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts with gross notional values of $1,482, which is reflective of the amounts that are normally outstanding at any point during the year. The following is a summary of the primary hedging positions and corresponding fair values held as of September 30, 2009:

Foreign Currency Cash Flow Hedges
We designate a portion of our foreign currency derivative contracts as cash flow hedges. These contracts hedge our foreign currency denominated inventory purchases and sales. Changes in fair value for these contracts were reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified to Cost of sales and Revenue in the period or periods during which the related inventory was sold to a third party. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for these designated cash flow hedges and all components of each derivatives gain or loss was included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The net asset (liability) fair value of these contracts was $1 and $(1) as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

The fair value amounts for Cash and cash equivalents and Accounts receivable, net approximate carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments. The fair value of Short and Long-term debt, as well as our Liability to subsidiary trust issuing preferred securities, was estimated based on quoted market prices for publicly traded securities or on the current rates offered to us for debt of similar maturities. The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to retire all debt at such date.

Similarly, the 2008 computation did not include the effects of approximately 30 million shares and 22 million shares, respectively.
Note 14 Contingencies
Brazil Tax and Labor Contingencies
Our Brazilian operations are involved in various litigation matters and have received or been the subject of numerous governmental assessments related to indirect and other taxes as well as disputes associated with former employees and contract labor. The tax matters, which comprise a significant portion of the total contingencies, principally relate to claims for taxes on the internal transfer of inventory, municipal service taxes on rentals and gross revenue taxes. We are disputing these tax matters and intend to vigorously defend our position. Based on the opinion of legal counsel and current reserves for those matters deemed probable of loss, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will materially impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The labor matters principally relate to claims made by former employees and contract labor for the equivalent payment of all social security and other related labor benefits, as well as consequential tax claims, as if they were regular employees. As of September 30, 2009, the total amounts related to the unreserved portion of the tax and labor contingencies, inclusive of any related interest, amounted to approximately $1,184 with the increase from December 31, 2008 balance of approximately $839 primarily related to change in foreign currency exchange rate. In connection with the above proceedings, customary local regulations may require us to make escrow cash deposits or post other security of up to half of the total amount in dispute. As of September 30, 2009 we had $230 of escrow cash deposits for matters we are disputing and there are liens on certain Brazilian assets with a net book value of $21 and additional letters of credit of approximately $136. Generally, any escrowed amounts would be refundable and any liens would be removed to the extent the matters are resolved in our favor. We routinely assess all these matters as to probability of ultimately incurring a liability against our Brazilian operations and record our best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where we assess the likelihood of an ultimate loss as probable.
23
Legal Matters
As more fully discussed below, we are involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings concerning securities law, intellectual property law, environmental law, employment law and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing our litigation and regulatory matters using available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with outside counsel handling our defense in these matters, which involves an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Should developments in any of these matters cause a change in our determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material accrual, or should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts, they could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period or periods in which such change in determination, judgment or settlement occurs.
Litigation Against the Company
In re Xerox Corporation Securities Litigation: A consolidated securities law action (consisting of 17 cases) is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. Defendants are the Company, Barry Romeril, Paul Allaire and G. Richard Thoman. The consolidated action is a class action on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased Xerox Corporation common stock during the period October 22, 1998 through October 7, 1999 inclusive (Class Period) and who suffered a loss as a result of misrepresentations or omissions by Defendants as alleged by Plaintiffs (the Class). The Class alleges that in violation of Section 10(b) and/or 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (1934 Act), and SEC Rule 10b-5 thereunder, each of the defendants is liable as a participant in a fraudulent scheme and course of business that operated as a fraud or deceit on purchasers of the Companys common stock during the Class Period by disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material facts relating to the defendants alleged failure to disclose the material negative impact that the April 1998 restructuring had on the Companys operations and revenues. The complaint further alleges that the alleged scheme: (i) deceived the investing public regarding the economic capabilities, sales proficiencies, growth, operations and the intrinsic value of the Companys common stock; (ii) allowed several corporate insiders, such as the named individual defendants, to sell shares of privately held common stock of the Company while in possession of materially adverse, non-public information; and (iii) caused the individual plaintiffs and the other members of the purported class to purchase common stock of the Company at inflated prices. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages in favor of the plaintiffs and the other members of the purported class against all defendants, jointly and severally, for all damages sustained as a result of defendants alleged wrongdoing, including interest thereon, together with reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the action, including counsel fees and expert fees. In 2001, the Court denied the defendants motion for dismissal of the complaint. The plaintiffs motion for class certification was denied by the Court in 2006, without prejudice to refiling. In February 2007, the Court granted the motion of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Welfare Fund of Local Union No. 164, Robert W. Roten, Robert Agius (Agius) and Georgia Stanley to appoint them as additional lead plaintiffs. In July 2007, the Court denied plaintiffs renewed motion for class certification, without prejudice to renewal after the Court holds a pre-filing conference to identify factual disputes the Court will be required to resolve in ruling on the motion. After that conference and Agiuss withdrawal as lead plaintiff and proposed class representative, in February 2008 plaintiffs filed a second renewed motion for class certification. In April 2008, defendants filed their response and motion to disqualify Milberg LLP as a lead counsel. On September 30, 2008, the Court entered an order certifying the class and denying the appointment of Milberg LLP as class counsel. Subsequently, on April 9, 2009, the Court denied defendants motion to disqualify Milberg LLP. The parties have filed motions to exclude certain expert testimony. On November 6, 2008, the defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. Briefing with respect to each of these motions is complete. On April 22, 2009, the Court denied plaintiffs motions to exclude the testimony of two of defendants experts. The Court has not yet rendered decisions regarding the other pending motions. The individual defendants and we deny any wrongdoing and are vigorously defending the action. In the course of litigation, we periodically engage in discussions with plaintiffs counsel for possible resolution of this matter. Should developments cause a change in our determination as to an unfavorable outcome, or result in a final adverse judgment or a settlement for a significant amount, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period in which such change in determination, judgment or settlement occurs.

Arbitration between MPI Technologies, Inc. and MPI Tech S.A. and Xerox Canada Ltd. and Xerox Corporation: In an arbitration proceeding the hearing of which commenced in January 2005, MPI Technologies, Inc. and MPI Tech S.A. (collectively MPI) sought damages from the Company and Xerox Canada Ltd. (XCL) for royalties owed under a license agreement between MPI and XCL (the Agreement) and breach of fiduciary duty, breach of confidence, equitable royalties and punitive damages and disgorgement of profits and injunctive relief with respect to a claim of copyright infringement. In September 2005, the arbitration panel rendered its decision, holding in part that the Agreement had been assigned to Xerox and that no punitive damages should be granted, and awarded MPI approximately $89, plus interest thereon. In December 2005, the arbitration panel rendered its decision on the applicable rate of pre-judgment interest resulting in an award of $13 for pre and post-judgment interest. In 2006, Xeroxs application for judicial review of the award, seeking to have the award set aside in its entirety, was denied by the Ontario Superior Court in Toronto and Xerox released all monies and software it had placed in escrow. In January 2007, Xerox and XCL served an arbitration claim against MPI seeking a declaratory award concerning the preclusive effect of the remedy awarded by the prior arbitration panel. In March 2007, MPI delivered to Xerox a statement of defense and counterclaim in response to Xeroxs arbitration claim. MPI claims entitlement to an unspecified amount of damages for royalties. In addition, MPI claims damages of $50 for alleged misuse of its licensed software by Xerox after December 2006. MPI also claims entitlement to unspecified amounts of pre and post-judgment interest and its costs of the arbitration. A panel of three arbitrators has been appointed to hear the dispute. The panel heard oral arguments relating to preliminary dispositive motions on May 20-21, 2008. The panels decision was released on August 28, 2008, in which the panel determined that MPI is precluded from advancing certain claims to royalties in respect of Xeroxs Version 8 software and its derivatives, but that certain other claims being advanced by MPI are not precluded. The parties entered into a settlement agreement effective September 16, 2009 covering all claims and counterclaims in the arbitration. The terms of the settlement agreement are not material to Xerox.
Merger Agreement Between Xerox and Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.: In late September and early October 2009, nine purported class action complaints were filed by Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS) shareholders challenging ACSs proposed merger with Xerox. (See Note 4-Acquisitions.) Two actions filed in state court in Delaware were subsequently consolidated into one action. Seven actions were filed in state courts in Texas. The complaints in all actions name as defendants ACS and/or various members of ACSs board of directors and Xerox Corporation. The complaints in six of the actions also name Boulder Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Xerox, as a defendant. The plaintiffs generally allege that (i) the members of ACSs board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to ACS and its shareholders by authorizing the sale of ACS to Xerox for what plaintiffs deem inadequate consideration; (ii) ACS breached and/or aided and abetted the other defendants alleged breaches of fiduciary duties; and (iii) Xerox and Boulder Acquisition Corp. aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by ACS and its directors. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, to enjoin the defendants from consummating the merger on the agreed-upon terms, and unspecified compensatory damages, together with the costs and disbursements of the action. The plaintiffs in the Consolidated Delaware action, now captioned In re ACS Shareholder Litigation, have filed a motion for class certification. Certain of the Texas plaintiffs have moved to transfer, consolidate and coordinate all of the actions pending in Texas. We deny any wrongdoing and are vigorously defending all of the actions.
Other Matters
It is our policy to promptly and carefully investigate, often with the assistance of outside advisers, allegations of impropriety that may come to our attention. If the allegations are substantiated, appropriate prompt remedial action is taken. When and where appropriate, we report such matters to the U.S. Department of Justice and to the SEC, and/or make public disclosure.
25
India
We became aware of a number of matters at our Indian subsidiary, Xerox India Ltd. (formerly Xerox Modicorp Ltd.), much of which occurred over several years before we obtained majority ownership of these operations in mid-1999. These matters include misappropriations of funds and payments to other companies that may have been inaccurately recorded on the subsidiarys books and certain alleged improper payments in connection with sales to government customers. These transactions were not material to the Companys financial statements. In 2002, we reported these transactions to the Indian authorities, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and to the SEC. In 2005, the private Indian investigator engaged by the Indian Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) completed an investigation of these matters and issued a report (Report). The Report addresses the previously disclosed misappropriation of funds and alleged improper payments and includes allegations that Xerox India Ltd.s senior officials and the Company were aware of such activities. The Report also asserts the need for further investigation into potential criminal acts related to the improper activities addressed by the Report. There is the possibility of fines and/or criminal penalties if conclusive proof of wrongdoing is found. The Company has made a copy of the Report available to the DOJ and the SEC. Xerox India Ltd. has asserted that the alleged violations of Indian Company Law by means of alleged improper payments and alleged defaults/failures of the Xerox India Ltd. board of directors are generally unsubstantiated and without any basis in law and that the Reports findings of other alleged violations are also unsubstantiated and unproven. In January 2006, the MCA issued a Show Cause Notice to certain former executives of Xerox India Ltd., seeking a response to allegations of potential violations of the Indian Companies Act. In February 2009, the MCA issued Show Cause Notices to certain individuals who served as directors of Xerox India Ltd. during 1999 to 2002, seeking a response to allegations of potential violations of the Indian Companies Act. These matters are now pending in the MCA.
In March 2006, Xerox India Ltd. received a formal Notice of Enquiry from the Indian Monopolies & Restrictive Trade Practices Commission (MRTPC) alleging that Xerox India Ltd. committed unfair trading practices arising from the events described in the Report. In a series of filings and hearings, Xerox India Ltd. has contested the Notice of Enquiry, arguing that it is not maintainable under the MRTPCs jurisdiction, and has been fully cooperating with the authorities.
Note 15 Subsequent Events
We have performed an evaluation of subsequent events through October 22, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were issued.
ITEM 2 | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following Managements Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Xerox Corporation. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.
Throughout this document, references to we, our, the Company, and Xerox refer to Xerox Corporation and its subsidiaries. References to Xerox Corporation refer to the stand-alone parent company and do not include its subsidiaries.
To understand the trends in the business, we believe that it is helpful to analyze the impact of changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars on revenue and expenses. We refer to this analysis as currency impact or the impact from currency. This includes translating the most recent financial results of operations using foreign currency of the earliest period presented. Currencies for our developing market countries (Latin America, Brazil, the Middle East, India, Eurasia and Central-Eastern Europe) are reflected at actual exchange rates for all periods presented, since these countries generally have volatile currency and inflationary environments, and our operations in these countries have historically implemented pricing actions to recover the impact of inflation and devaluation. We do not hedge the translation effect of revenues or expenses denominated in currencies where the local currency is the functional currency.

Overview
Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 largely reflect the continued effects of the worldwide economic downturn. The overall slowdown in business activity has reduced print volumes, especially in heavily document-driven processes, and our customers, in an effort to manage costs, are delaying spending on technology upgrades until there are stronger signs of economic improvement. The weak economies in developing markets, like Russia and Eurasia, where access to credit is still quite limited, has impacted our revenues. Total revenue of $3,675 million and $10,960 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 declined by 16% and 17%, respectively, from the prior year comparable periods including unfavorable impacts from currency of 2% and 4%, respectively. Equipment sales revenue of $802 million and $2,400 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased by 29% in each period from the prior year comparable periods reflecting the continued industry-wide slowdown in technology spending. Post-sale revenue of $2,873 million and $8,560 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was down 11% and 13%, respectively, from the prior year comparable periods reflecting lower supplies revenue as distributors continued to hold lower inventory levels and businesses implemented their own cost-cutting measures.
The benefits from restructuring and operational improvements are helping to relieve pressure from the revenue declines. Gross margins of 39.8% and 39.6%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased 0.6-percentage points and 0.3-percentage points, respectively, from the prior year comparable periods despite the continued effect of higher product costs due to transaction currency. Selling, administrative and general (SAG) expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 declined $131 million and $408 million, respectively, from the prior year comparable periods reflecting favorable currency and the benefits from restructuring and operational improvements.
Cash flow from operations was $1,241 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and cash used in investing activities of $274 million included $145 million for GISs acquisition of ComDoc in the first quarter of 2009. Total Debt at September 30, 2009 was down $938 million from December 31, 2008.

Third quarter 2009 total revenues decreased 16% compared to the third quarter 2008. Worldwide economic weakness continues to negatively impact our major market segments, and currency had a 2-percentage point negative impact on total revenues in the quarter. Total revenues included the following:
| 11% decrease in post sale revenue, with a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency. The components of post sale revenue decreased as follows: |
- | 9% decrease in service, outsourcing and rentals revenue to $1,942 million reflecting declines in technical service and outsourcing revenue primarily due to currency which had a 3-percentage point negative impact, and a decline in pages. Total digital pages declined 6%, while color pages increased by 7%. |
- | Supplies, paper and other sales of $753 million decreased 18% year-over-year, with a 1-percentage point negative impact from currency. Declines were driven by lower channel supplies purchases, most notably within developing markets and lower paper sales. |
| 29% decrease in equipment sales revenue, with a 1-percentage point negative impact from currency. Overall declines in install activity were the primary driver along with price declines of 5% to 10% across Production and Office. Approximately two-thirds of the third quarter 2009 equipment sales were generated from products launched in the past 24 months. |
| 14% decrease in color revenue2, with a 3-percentage point negative impact from currency. Color revenue of $1,411 million comprised 42% of total revenue in the third quarter 20093, excluding GIS, and reflects: |
- | 6% decrease in color post sale revenue, including a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline was partially driven by lower channel color printer supplies purchases and lower page volume. Color represented 40% of post sale revenue in the third quarter 20093. |
- | 31% decrease in color equipment sales revenue, including a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency and lower installs driven by the impact of the economic environment. Color sales represented 51% of equipment sales in the third quarter 20093. |
Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased 17% compared to the prior year period. Worldwide economic weakness negatively impacted our major market segments and currency had a 4-percentage point negative impact on total revenues. Total revenues included the following:
| 13% decrease in post sale revenue, with a 5-percentage point negative impact from currency. The components of post sale revenue decreased as follows: |
- | 10% decrease in service, outsourcing and rentals revenue to $5,773 million, reflecting declines in technical service and outsourcing revenue primarily due to currency, which had a 5-percentage point negative impact, and a decline in pages. Total digital pages declined 5%, while color pages increased by 12%. |
- | Supplies, paper and other sales of $2,251 million decreased 19% year-over-year primarily due to currency, which had a 3-percentage point negative impact, and declines in channel supplies purchases, including lower purchases within developing markets and lower paper sales. |
| 29% decrease in equipment sales revenue, with a 3-percentage point negative impact from currency. The overall decline in install activity was the primary driver along with price declines of approximately 5% across the Production and Office segments. |
| 14% decrease in color revenue2 with a 5-percentage point negative impact from currency. Color revenue of $4,232 million comprised 42% of total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 20093, excluding GIS, compared to 40% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, reflecting: |
- | 9% decrease in color post sale revenue, including a 6-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline was partially driven by lower channel color printer supplies purchases. Color represented 39% of post sale revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, excluding GIS, compared to 37% in the prior year3. |
- | 27% decrease in color equipment sales revenue, including a 4-percentage point negative impact from currency and lower installs driven by the impact of the economic environment.

Production
Revenue
Third quarter 2009 Production revenue of $1,092 million decreased 14%, including a 3-percentage point negative impact from currency, reflecting:
| 10% decrease in post sale revenue with a 3-percentage point negative impact from currency, as declines were driven in part by lower black-and-white page volumes reflecting the continued weak economic environment. |
| 27% decrease in equipment sales revenue with a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline in revenue across most product segments reflects lower installs driven by the continued weak economic environment. |
| 32% decline in installs of production color systems, as entry production color declines driven in part by product launch timing are offset by increased installs for the Xerox 700 that was launched in 2008. |
| 22% decline in installs of production black-and-white systems, reflecting declines in all product segments. |
30
Production revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $3,240 million decreased 16%, including a 5-percentage point negative impact from currency, reflecting:

| 27% decrease in equipment sales revenue, with a 4-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline in revenue across all product segments reflects lower installs likewise driven by the continued weak economic environment. |
| 13% decline in installs of production color products, as entry production color declines were partially offset by increased Xerox 700 installs. |
| 25% decline in installs of production black-and-white systems, reflecting declines in all product segments. |
Operating Profit
Third quarter 2009 Production profit of $59 million decreased $24 million from third quarter 2008, due to lower gross profit flow-through from revenue declines partially offset by lower RD&E and SAG as a result of continued cost actions.
Production profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $150 million decreased $121 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2008, due to lower gross profit flow-through from revenue declines which were partially offset by lower RD&E and SAG spending as a result of continued cost actions.
Office
Revenue
Third quarter 2009 Office revenue of $2,070 million decreased 15%, including a 1-percentage point negative impact from currency, reflecting:
| 9% decrease in post sale revenue, with a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency. Revenue declined across most product segments and reflects lower channel supplies purchases, including purchases within developing markets, which more than offset the growth in GIS. |
| 29% decrease in equipment sales revenue, with a 1-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline in revenue across all product segments reflects lower installs driven by the continued weak economic environment. |
| 31% decline in installs of color multifunction devices driven by lower overall demand, which more than offset the impact of new products including the partial launch of ColorQube and the Office version of the Xerox 700 that was launched in 2008. |
| 48% decline in installs of black-and-white copiers and multifunction devices, including an 88% decline in the low dollar value Segment 1 products (11-20 ppm), driven primarily by lower activity in developing markets and a 4% decrease in Segment 2-5 products (21-90 ppm). Segment 2-5 installs include the Xerox 4505, a 95 ppm device with an embedded controller. |

Third quarter 2009 total gross margin increased 0.6-percentage points compared to the third quarter 2008, driven by cost improvements enabled by restructuring and cost actions, as well as the revenue declines from lower margin channels, which were only partially offset by the 0.8-percentage point unfavorable impact of transaction currency. Third quarter 2009 results included a benefit of 0.3-percentage points related to a favorable property tax adjustment in North America, and third quarter 2008 results included a benefit of 0.3-percentage points from a favorable adjustment related to European product disposal costs.
The gross margin increased 0.3-percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the 2008 comparable period. The increase was primarily driven by cost improvements enabled by restructuring and our cost actions, as well as the decline of revenues from lower margin channels partially offset by the 1.0-percentage points unfavorable impact of transaction currency. 2009 included a benefit of 0.1-percentage points related to a favorable property tax adjustment in North America, and 2008 included a benefit of 0.1-percentage points from a favorable adjustment related to European product disposal costs.
Sales gross margin decreased 0.8-percentage points compared to the third quarter 2008 as the 1.7-percentage point adverse impact of transaction currency on our inventory purchases and price declines impact of 1.9-percentage points were partially offset by the positive mix of revenues and cost improvements. Third quarter 2008 results included a favorable adjustment related to European product disposal costs.
Sales gross margin decreased 1.0-percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the 2008 comparable period primarily due to the adverse impact of transaction currency on our inventory purchases of 1.8-percentage points and price declines of 0.9-percentage points. This decline was partially offset by cost improvements and the positive mix of revenues.
Service, outsourcing and rentals margin increased 1.1-percentage points compared to the third quarter 2008 primarily due to restructuring savings and other costs actions, as well as a favorable property tax adjustment in North America. These improvements more than offset the approximate 0.7-percentage point impact of pricing declines.
Service, outsourcing and rentals margin increased 0.7-percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the 2008 comparable period primarily due to the reduction in costs driven by our restructuring and cost actions.

Bad debt expense as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was consistent with the fourth quarter 2008. Due to the current economic conditions, we expect bad debt expense to continue at this higher level for the fourth quarter 2009. |
Worldwide Employment
Worldwide employment of 54,100 at September 30, 2009, decreased approximately 3,000 from December 31, 2008 and 3,300 from third quarter 2008, primarily due to restructuring reductions, partially offset by additional headcount related to GISs acquisition of ComDoc, Inc.
Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
During the third quarter 2009, we recorded a net restructuring credit of $2 million. The net credit reflected $7 million of severance-related charges for new actions and $9 million of net reversals for changes in estimated reserves from prior year initiatives. During the third quarter 2008, we recorded restructuring charges of $14 million predominately in the U.S. related to headcount reductions of approximately 300.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a net restructuring credit of $5 million. The net credit reflected $28 million of severance-related charges for new actions and $33 million of net reversals for changes in estimated reserves from prior year initiatives. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded net restructuring charges of $80 million primarily related to headcount reductions of approximately 1,500 employees predominately in North America.

Non-financing interest expense
Third quarter 2009 Non-financing interest expense of $64 million was $7 million lower than the third quarter 2008 driven by the benefit of lower interest rates that more than offset the impact of higher average debt balances.
Non-financing interest expense of $188 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was comparable with the prior year as lower interest rates partially offset higher average debt balances.
Interest income
Third quarter interest income of $4 million decreased $4 million, reflecting lower average cash balances and lower interest rates.
Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $14 million lower than the prior year reflecting lower average cash balances and lower interest rates.
Gains on sale of businesses and assets
The gains on sales of businesses and assets for 2009 and 2008 primarily relate to the sale of Latin American facilities.
Currency losses, net
2009 currency losses of $26 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were primarily due to the significant movement in exchange rates among the U.S. Dollar, Euro and Yen in the first quarter 2009, as well as the increased cost of hedging, particularly in developing markets. 2008 currency losses of $30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were primarily due to the significant and rapid weakening of the U.S. Dollar and Euro as compared to the Yen in the first quarter 2008, net re-measurement losses associated with our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities in our developing market units and the cost of hedging.
Litigation matters
2009 expense of $8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 reflects probable losses from various legal matters. 2008 charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 include $795 million related to provisions for the $670 million settlement of Carlson v. Xerox Corporation (Carlson) and other securities-related litigation matters, net of expected insurance recoveries. On January 14, 2009, the United States Court for the District of Connecticut entered a Final Order and Judgment approving the Carlson settlement. On April 13, 2009, the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (Hartford) entered an order giving its final approval to the settlement of the In Re Xerox Corporation ERISA Litigation.

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 of 27.8% and 28.2%, respectively, were lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the net tax benefits from the geographical mix of income before taxes and the related effective tax rates in those jurisdictions.
The third quarter 2008 effective tax rate was 6.1% and included a 17.3% benefit from the tax settlement of certain previously unrecognized tax benefits and the tax effect of the third quarter restructuring charges. Excluding the impact of these items, the third quarter 2008 adjusted effective tax rate was 23.4%1. These rates were lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily reflecting the benefit to taxes from the geographical mix of income before taxes and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions.
The effective tax rate for nine months ended September 30, 2008 included $370 million of benefit from the tax effects of the net provision for securities-related litigation matters, the second and third quarter 2008 restructuring charges and the benefit from the settlement of certain previously unrecognized tax benefits. Excluding these items, the adjusted effective tax rate was 22.9%1, which was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the net tax benefits from the utilization of foreign tax credits and the geographical mix of income before taxes and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions.
Our effective tax rate is based on nonrecurring events as well as recurring factors, including the geographical mix of income and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions, and available foreign tax credits. In addition, our effective tax rate will change based on discrete or other nonrecurring events that may not be predictable. We anticipate that our effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2009 will approximate 28%, excluding the effects of any future discrete events.

Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates
Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates of $15 million decreased $20 million compared to third quarter 2008, which reflects our 25% share of Fuji Xeroxs lower net income which was impacted by the worldwide economic weakness. The third quarter 2009 included charges of $9 million related to our share of Fuji Xeroxs after-tax restructuring.
Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates of $14 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased $78 million, as compared to the 2008 comparable period, which reflects our 25% share of Fuji Xeroxs lower net income which has been impacted by the worldwide economic weakness. The nine month period ended September 30, 2009 included charges of $40 million related to our share of Fuji Xeroxs after-tax restructuring. The nine months ended September 30, 2008 included restructuring charges of $15 million primarily related to Fuji Xeroxs pension settlements.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,241 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The $487 million increase in cash from the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to the following:
| $438 million decrease in pre-tax income before litigation and restructuring. |
| $438 million increase from accounts receivables, reflecting lower revenue, improved collections and benefits from the sales of accounts receivables. |
| $334 million increase as a result of lower inventory levels, reflecting focused supply chain actions in light of lower sales volume. |
| $174 million increase due to lower contributions to our defined pension benefit plans. |
| $57 million increase due to lower placements of equipment on operating leases reflecting lower install activity. |
| $28 million increase due to higher net run-off of finance receivables. |
| $139 million decrease due to higher restructuring payments associated with previously reported actions. |
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $274 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The $432 million increase in cash from the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to the following:
| $401 million increase due to lower escrow and other restricted investments. 2008 reflects the funding of the escrow account for the Carlson litigation settlement. |
| $100 million increase due to lower capital expenditures (including internal use software), reflecting focused management of our capital requirements. |
37
| $56 million decrease primarily due to the absence of insurance proceeds for the Carlson litigation settlement received in 2008. |
| $21 million decrease due to lower cash receipts from asset sales. |
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $1,054 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The $803 million decrease in cash from the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to the following:
| $1,771 million decrease due to lower net debt proceeds. 2009 reflects the repayment of the 2009 Senior Notes of $879 million, net payments of $448 million for two Zero Coupon Notes, net payments of $246 million on the Credit Facility, and net payments of $48 million primarily for foreign short-term borrowings. These payments were partially offset by the issuance of $750 million in Senior Notes. 2008 reflects the issuance of $1.4 billion in Senior Notes and $250 million in Zero Coupon Notes, and net payments of $352 million on the Credit Facility and $398 million on other debt. |
| $804 million increase due to the absence of purchases under the Companys share repurchase program. |
| $142 million increase primarily due to lower debt payments on secured financings. |
| $22 million increase due to the absence of repurchases related to stock-based compensation. |

Our lease contracts permit customers to pay for equipment over time rather than at the date of installation, therefore, we maintain a certain level of debt that we refer to as financing debt, to support our investment in these lease contracts, which are reflected in Total finance assets, net. For this financing aspect of our business, we maintain an assumed 7:1 leverage ratio of debt to equity as compared to our finance assets. Based on this leverage, the following represents the breakdown of total debt between financing debt and core debt:

The remainder of the financing debt is associated with Equipment on operating leases. |
Sales of Accounts Receivables
During the third quarter 2009, we sold $349 million of accounts receivables without recourse, as compared to $373 million in the second quarter 2009 and $146 million in the third quarter 2008. Fees associated with these sales were approximately $3 million, $3 million and $1 million, respectively. $335 million of receivables sold to date remained uncollected by the third party purchasers as of September 30, 2009. We do not have any current or future liability for these non-recourse sales.
Liquidity, Financial Flexibility and Funding Plans
We manage our worldwide liquidity using internal cash management practices, which are subject to 1) the statutes, regulations and practices of each of the local jurisdictions in which we operate, 2) the legal requirements of the agreements to which we are a party and 3) the policies and cooperation of the financial institutions we utilize to maintain and provide cash management services.
We are currently rated investment grade by all major rating agencies. As of September 30, 2009 the ratings for our senior unsecured debt were as follows:
Senior Unsecured |
Outlook | |||
Moodys |
Baa2 | Stable | ||
Standard & Poors (S&P) |
BBB | Negative | ||
Fitch |
BBB | Negative |
Our liquidity is a function of our ability to successfully generate cash flows from a combination of efficient operations and improvement therein, access to capital markets, securitizations, funding from third parties and borrowings secured by our finance receivables portfolios. Our ability to maintain positive liquidity going forward depends on our ability to continue to generate cash from operations and access to financial markets, both of which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other market factors that are beyond our control.
The following is a discussion of our liquidity position as of September 30, 2009:
| As of September 30, 2009, total cash and cash equivalents was $1.2 billion and our borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility was $2 billion, reflecting no outstanding borrowings and no outstanding letters of credit. In addition, we currently have approximately $1.0 billion available under our secured borrowing arrangement with General Electric Capital Corporation (the Loan Agreement). This Agreement is in place through 2010, and has not been accessed in almost four years. |
| Cash flows from operations were $1,241 million and $754 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cash flows from operations were $939 million for the 2008 full-year and included $615 million in net payments for securities litigation. We expect 2009 full-year operating cash flows of about $1.7 billion. |
39
| During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, total debt decreased by $938 million, and we expect to reduce debt by over $1 billion for the full year. Our debt maturities are in line with historical and projected cash flows and are spread over the next ten years as follows (in millions): |
Contractual Cash Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments and Contingencies
In July 2009, we signed a five year contract with International Business Machines for approximately $70 million for mid-range applications support in North America. This contract replaces the EDS contract which expires in mid 2010.
In April 2009, we signed two seven year contracts with Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) for approximately $40 million for mainframe application development and maintenance services and $51 million for mainframe computing services support in North America. These contracts replace the EDS mainframe applications, maintenance and support and mainframe process contracts in North America, which expire in June 2010 and December 2013, respectively.
In February 2009, we signed a six year contract with Hindustan Computers Limited (HCL) for approximately $100 million for mid range processing services in North America and Europe. This contract replaces the EDS server management contract, which expired in June 2009.
We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which could affect operating results, financial position and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial instruments are utilized to hedge economic exposures as well as to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates. We enter into limited types of derivative contracts, including interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency spot, forward and swap contracts and net purchased foreign currency options to manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures. Our primary foreign currency market exposures include the Yen, Euro, and Pound Sterling. The fair market values of all our derivative contracts change with fluctuations in interest rates and/or currency rates and are designed so that any changes in their values are offset by changes in the values of the underlying exposures. Derivative financial instruments are held solely as risk management tools and not for trading or speculative purposes.
We are required to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. As permitted, certain of these derivative contracts have been designated for hedge accounting treatment. Certain of our derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are effective as economic hedges. These derivative contracts are likewise required to be recognized each period at fair value and therefore do result in some level of volatility. The level of volatility will vary with the type and amount of derivative hedges outstanding, as well as fluctuations in the currency and interest rate markets during the period. The related cash flow impacts of all of our derivative activities are reflected as cash flows from operating activities.
40
By their nature, all derivative instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and credit risk. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency exchange and interest rate movements is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions, assets and liabilities being hedged. We do not believe there is significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties associated with these instruments because these transactions are executed with a diversified group of major financial institutions. Further, our policy is to deal with counterparties having a minimum investment grade or better credit rating. Credit risk is managed through the continuous monitoring of exposures to such counterparties.
The current market events have not required us to materially modify or change our financial risk management strategies with respect to our exposures to interest rate and foreign currency risk. Refer to Note 10 Financial Instruments for further discussion and information on our financial risk management strategies.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Business Combinations and Goodwill
As discussed in the Overview section, our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are largely due to the current global economic environment and the related current industry-wide slowdown in technology spending. We do not believe our results reflect a significant change in the overall long-term revenue and cash flow growth prospects or expectations for our business. The Company remains the prominent player in our industry and we expect to continue to grow market share even in this challenging environment primarily through our expanded distribution capabilities as well as new product and service offerings. We are offsetting the decline in revenues with $250 million in savings from previous restructuring actions and an additional $300 million in cost and expense reductions throughout this year. Our operating cash flows remain strong and are expected to approximate $1.7 billion for the 2009 full year. Accordingly, we continue to believe that our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and our expectations for the remainder of the year are driven by the near-term economic conditions and that the long-term revenue and expense growth assumptions used to determine the fair values of our reporting units, as disclosed in the aggregate in our 2008 Annual Report under Application of Critical Accounting Policies Business Combinations and Goodwill, remain attainable. Based on those assumptions, we determined that the fair values of our reporting units sufficiently exceeded their carrying values.
We have reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of the following non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is set forth below:
Adjusted Effective Tax Rate
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 are discussed in this presentation using non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the benefit to taxes relating to the settlement of certain previously unrecognized tax benefits, the effects of charges associated with securities-related litigation matters and restructuring. Management believes that it is helpful to exclude these effects to better understand, analyze and compare the prior periods income tax expense and effective tax rate to the current period amounts given the discrete nature and size of these items in the prior periods.
41
However, this non-GAAP financial measure should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Companys reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

ITEM 3 | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The information set forth under the caption Financial Risk Management on Page 38 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is hereby incorporated by reference in answer to this Item.
ITEM 4 | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
The Companys management evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms relating to Xerox Corporation, including our consolidated subsidiaries, and was accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) | Changes in Internal Controls |
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company deployed a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system in support of our Office business in Europe. Due to the nature of a systems transition of this magnitude, a number of critical internal controls were affected. Although management believes the transition was successful and appropriate internal controls were maintained or implemented during the process, there can be no assurance that there may not be unidentified control deficiencies which may require remediation. Such controls will continue to be tested during the balance of the year. There were no other changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
42
ITEM 1 | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
The information set forth under Note 14-Contingencies contained in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference in answer to this Item.
ITEM 1A | RISK FACTORS |
Reference is made to the Risk Factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our 2008 Annual Report. The Risk Factors remain applicable from our 2008 Annual Report, with the exception of the following changes:
Our significant debt could adversely affect our financial health and pose challenges for conducting our business.
We have and will continue to have a significant amount of debt and other obligations, primarily to support our customer financing activities. As of September 30, 2009, we had $7.4 billion of total debt ($9 million of which is secured by finance receivables) and a $649 million liability to a subsidiary trust issuing preferred securities. The total value of financing activities, shown on the balance sheet as Finance receivables and Equipment on operating lease, was $7.6 billion at September 30, 2009. The Total cash and cash equivalents was $1.2 billion at September 30, 2009. Our substantial debt and other obligations could have important consequences. For example, it could (i) increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; (ii) limit our ability to obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate requirements; (iii) increase our vulnerability to interest rate fluctuations because a portion of our debt has variable interest rates; (iv) require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to service debt and other obligations thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows from operations for other purposes; (v) limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; (vi) place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and (vii) become due and payable upon a change in control. If new debt is added to our current debt levels such as the incurrence of debt to partially fund acquisitions, these related risks could increase.
We need to maintain adequate liquidity in order to have sufficient cash to meet operating cash flow requirements and to repay maturing debt and other obligations. If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in our various borrowing agreements, it may adversely affect our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.
Our liquidity is a function of our ability to successfully generate cash flows from a combination of efficient operations and improvement therein, access to capital markets, securitizations, funding from third parties and borrowings secured by our finance receivables portfolios. As of September 30, 2009, total cash and cash equivalents was $1.2 billion, and our borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility was $2 billion, reflecting no outstanding borrowings. We also have funding available through a secured borrowing arrangement with General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC). We believe our liquidity (including operating and other cash flows that we expect to generate) will be sufficient to meet operating requirements as they occur; however, our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity going forward depends on our ability to generate cash from operations and access to the capital markets, secured borrowings, securitizations and funding from third parties, all of which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other market factors that are beyond our control.
43
The Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants including limitations on: (i) liens of Xerox and certain of our subsidiaries securing debt; (ii) certain fundamental changes to corporate structure; (iii) changes in nature of business; and (iv) limitations on debt incurred by certain subsidiaries. The Credit Facility contains financial maintenance covenants, including maximum leverage (debt for borrowed money divided by consolidated EBITDA, as defined) and a minimum interest coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense, as defined). The indentures governing our outstanding senior notes contain affirmative and negative covenants including limitations on: issuance of secured debt and preferred stock; investments and acquisitions; mergers; certain transactions with affiliates; creation of liens; asset transfers; hedging transactions; payment of dividends; and certain other payments. They do not, however, contain financial maintenance covenants, except the fixed charge coverage ratio applicable to certain types of payments. Our U.S. Loan Agreement with GECC (effective through December 31, 2010) relating to our customer financing program (the Loan Agreement) provides for loans secured by eligible finance receivables up to $5 billion outstanding at any one time. As of September 30, 2009, $9 million was outstanding under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement incorporates the financial maintenance covenants contained in the Credit Facility and contains other affirmative and negative covenants.
At September 30, 2009, we were in full compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the Credit Facility, the senior notes and the Loan Agreement. Any failure to be in compliance with any material provision or covenant of the Credit Facility or the senior notes could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition. Failure to be in compliance with the covenants in the Loan Agreement, including the financial maintenance covenants incorporated from the Credit Facility, would result in an event of termination under the Loan Agreement and in such case GECC would not be required to make further loans to us. If GECC were to make no further loans to us, and assuming a similar facility was not established and that we were unable to obtain replacement financing in the public debt markets, it could materially adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund our customers purchases of our equipment and this could materially adversely affect our results of operations.
We need to successfully execute the transition of Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. in order to realize all of the anticipated benefits from the transaction.
Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS) acquisition is subject to certain risks including, but not limited to, the risks that: the acquisition may not close; the future business operations of ACS will not be successful; customer retention, cost synergies and revenue expansion goals for the ACS transaction will not be met; and disruptions from the ACS transaction will harm relationships with customers, employees and suppliers. The consummation of the ACS acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or completion of a number of conditions, some of which are beyond our control. Any delay in completing the transaction could cause us not to realize or delay realization of some or all of the benefits we expect to achieve from the transaction.
