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฀

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฀

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฀mate-
rial฀(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),฀lim-
ited฀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฀finan-
cial฀statements฀for฀the฀period฀in฀which฀it฀completes฀its฀evaluation฀of฀the฀
repatriation฀provision.฀The฀provisions฀of฀FSP฀109-2฀are฀effective฀immedi-
ately.฀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.”฀฀

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฀per-

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฀

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฀
