NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited, and certain information and footnote disclosures related thereto normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared following the same policies and procedures used in the preparation of the audited financial statements and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Eastman Kodak Company and its subsidiaries (the Company). The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification. Prior period reclassifications include the following:
In preparing the financial statements for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded adjustments for items that should have been recorded in prior periods, the largest of which is a $20 million tax provision for a valuation allowance recorded in the second quarter of 2007 that should have been recorded in 2006. This item is discussed further in Note 5, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles," and Note 6, "Income Taxes." Each correction recorded in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 is individually no greater than $6 million, other than the item noted above. The Company has determined that these corrections, individually and in the aggregate, are not material to the financial statements as of and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, to any prior period financial statements, or to its expected full year results for 2007.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
FASB Statement No. 155
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140)." This Statement permits fair value measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement event occurring after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 (January 1, 2007 for the Company). The adoption of SFAS No. 155 in the first quarter of 2007 did not have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
PAGE 8
FASB Interpretation No. 48
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on various related matters such as derecognition, classification of interest and penalties, and disclosure. Further information regarding the adoption of FIN 48 is disclosed in Note 6, "Income Taxes."
FASB Statement No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," which establishes a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Specifically, this Statement sets forth a definition of fair value, and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are generally required to be applied on a prospective basis, except to certain financial instruments accounted for under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," for which the
provisions of SFAS No. 157 should be applied retrospectively. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of 2008.
FASB Statement No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which permits entities to choose to measure, on an item-by-item basis, specified financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are required to be reported in earnings at each reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The provisions of this statement are required to be applied prospectively. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of 2008.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $136 million and $243 million, respectively, of which approximately $23 million and $73 million, respectively, represented accelerated depreciation in connection with restructuring actions. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $526 million and $820 million, respectively, of which approximately $103 million and $213 million, respectively, represented accelerated depreciation in connection with restructuring actions.
In April 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its manufacturing site in Xiamen, China. This sale closed in the second quarter of 2007 and resulted in a reduction to net properties of approximately $278 million. This action is part of the 2004-2007 Restructuring Program.
NOTE 5: GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill was $1,636 million and $1,584 million at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were as follows:

PAGE 10
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company identified a deferred tax asset in a recently acquired non-U.S. subsidiary that was overstated at the date of acquisition. Therefore, the Company recorded an increase in the value of goodwill of $24 million in the second quarter to appropriately reflect the proper goodwill balance. This $24 million is presented as a purchase accounting adjustment in the table above. The Company also recorded a valuation allowance of $20 million, which should have been recorded in 2006, in order to properly reflect the value of the net deferred tax asset. The Company has determined that this correction is not material to the current period or to any prior period financial statement amounts.
Due to the realignment of the Kodak operating model and change in reporting structure, as described in Note 14, Segment Information, effective January 1, 2007, the Company reassigned goodwill to its reportable segments using a relative fair value approach as required under SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Additionally, the Company reassessed its goodwill for impairment during the first quarter of 2007, and determined that no reporting units carrying values exceeded their respective estimated fair values based on the realigned reporting structure and, therefore, there was no impairment.
The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization by major intangible asset category as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were as follows:

NOTE 6: INCOME TAXES
The Companys income tax (benefit) provision and effective tax rate were as follows:
Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||||||||||
September 30 | September 30 | |||||||||||
(dollars in millions) | 2007 | 2006 | 2007 | 2006 | ||||||||
Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes | $29 | ($53 | ) | ($356 | ) | ($685 | ) | |||||

Effective tax rate | (17.2 | )% | (56.6 | )% | 18.0 | % | (14.5 | )% |
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a benefit of $5 million on pre-tax earnings of $29 million, representing an effective rate of (17.2)%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) losses generated in certain jurisdictions outside the U.S., which were not benefited, (2) the mix of earnings from operations in certain lower-taxed jurisdictions outside the U.S., (3) non-U.S. tax benefits of $6 million associated with restructuring costs and asset impairments, (4) a net benefit of $16 million associated with adjustments related to uncertain tax positions, and (5) a tax provision of $13 million associated with the impact of foreign legislative tax rate changes.
In accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the Company recorded a tax benefit in continuing operations associated with the realization of current year losses in certain jurisdictions where it has historically had a valuation allowance due to the recognition of the pre-tax gain in discontinued operations.
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded a provision of $30 million on a pre-tax loss of $53 million, representing an effective rate of (56.6)%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) losses generated within the U.S. and in certain jurisdictions outside the U.S., which were not benefited, (2) the mix of earnings from operations in certain lower-taxed jurisdictions outside the U.S., (3) non-U.S. tax benefits of $8 million associated with restructuring costs and asset impairments, and (4) discrete tax benefits of $9 million relating primarily to tax rate changes, impacts from ongoing tax audits with respect to open tax years, and other property sales gains/losses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a benefit of $64 million on a pre-tax loss of $356 million, representing an effective rate of 18.0%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) losses generated in certain jurisdictions outside the U.S., which were not benefited, (2) the mix of earnings from operations in certain lower-taxed jurisdictions outside the U.S., (3) non-U.S. tax benefits of $42 million associated with restructuring costs and asset impairments, (4) a net benefit of $75 million associated with adjustments related to uncertain tax positions, and (5) a tax provision of $13 million associated with the impact of foreign legislative tax rate changes.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded a provision of $99 million on a pre-tax loss of $685 million, representing an effective rate of (14.5)%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) losses generated within the U.S. and in certain jurisdictions outside the U.S., which were not benefited and (2) the mix of earnings from operations in certain lower-taxed jurisdictions outside the U.S., (3) non-U.S. tax benefits of $64 million associated with restructuring costs and asset impairments, and (4) discrete tax charges of $44 million relating primarily to purchase accounting for the Creo and KPG acquisitions, tax rate changes, impacts from ongoing tax audits with respect to open tax years, and other property sales gains/losses.
During the second quarter of 2007 the Company identified a deferred tax asset in a recently acquired non-U.S. subsidiary that was overstated at the date of acquisition. Therefore, the Company recorded an increase in the value of goodwill of $24 million in the second quarter of 2007 to appropriately reflect the proper goodwill balance. The Company also recorded a valuation allowance of $20 million, which should have been recorded in 2006, in order to properly reflect the value of the net deferred tax asset. This amount is included in the $64 million benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The Company has determined that this correction is not material to the three- or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 or to any prior period financial statement amounts.
PAGE 12
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48) in the first quarter of 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, there was no cumulative effect adjustment for unrecognized tax benefits, which would have been accounted for as an adjustment to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. The Company had a liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax benefits, including interest and penalties, of $301 million, $324 million and $323 million as of September 30, 2007, June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. For the third quarter of 2007, the decline in the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax benefits of $23 million relates to a $20 million decrease as the result of the closure of a foreign jurisdiction audit for tax years 1999 through 2001, and a net decrease of $3 million related to various worldwide tax positions, including interest and payments.
If the unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, they would favorably affect the effective income tax rate for the remainder of 2007 or in any future periods. Consistent with the provisions of FIN 48, the Company has classified certain income tax liabilities as current or non-current based on managements estimate of when these liabilities will be settled and has reclassified these items in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2006 to conform to the current period presentation. These non-current income tax liabilities are recorded in Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
It is reasonably possible that the liability associated with our unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease within the next twelve months. These changes may be the result of ongoing audits or the expiration of statutes of limitations. At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made.
The Company files numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in many state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has substantially concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 2000. The Companys U.S. tax matters for the years 2001 through 2006 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Substantially all material state, local, and foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years through 1998. The Companys tax matters for the years 1999 through 2006 remain subject to examination by the respective state, local, and foreign tax jurisdiction authorities.
As previously reported, on October 3, 2006, the Company filed a claim for a federal tax refund related to a 1994 loss recognized on the sale of a subsidiarys stock that was disallowed at that time under Internal Revenue Service regulations. Since that time, the IRS has issued new regulations that serve as the basis for this refund claim. At September 30, 2007, the Company anticipates that this claim will be brought to the Joint Committee of Taxation for review during the fourth quarter of 2007. Based on information available at this time, and in accordance with FIN 48, the Company has not recorded a tax benefit due to the uncertainty of the resolution and the amount associated with the claim.
The Companys policy regarding interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters is to recognize such items as a component of income tax expense. As of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company had $58 million accrued for income tax-related interest and penalties.
NOTE 7: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental
At September 30, 2007, the Companys undiscounted accrued liabilities for environmental remediation costs amounted to $140 million and are reported in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Included in this amount are the items described below.
The Company is currently implementing a Corrective Action Program required by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) at the Kodak Park site in Rochester, NY. The Company is currently in the process of completing, and in many cases has completed, RCRA Facility Investigations (RFI), Corrective Measures Studies (CMS) and Corrective Measures Implementation (CMI) for areas at the site. At September 30, 2007, estimated future investigation and remediation costs of $64 million are accrued for this site, the majority of which relates to long-term operation, maintenance of remediation systems and monitoring costs.
PAGE 13
The Company has accrued for obligations relating to other operating sites with estimated future investigation, remediation and monitoring costs of $19 million.
The Company has obligations relating to plant closures and former operations. The Company has accrued for obligations with estimated future investigation, remediation and monitoring costs of $37 million at sites of former operations.
The Company has retained certain obligations for environmental remediation and Superfund matters related to certain sites associated with the non-imaging health businesses sold in 1994. The Company has accrued for obligations with estimated future remediation costs of $20 million for these sites.
Cash expenditures for the aforementioned investigation, remediation and monitoring activities are expected to be incurred over the next twenty-eight years for many of the sites. For these known environmental liabilities, the accrual reflects the Companys best estimate of the amount it will incur under the agreed-upon or proposed work plans. The Companys cost estimates were determined using the ASTM Standard E 2137-01, "Standard Guide for Estimating Monetary Costs and Liabilities for Environmental Matters," and have not been reduced by possible recoveries from third parties. The overall method includes the use of a probabilistic model which forecasts a range of cost estimates for the remediation required at individual sites. The projects are closely monitored and the models are reviewed as significant events occur or at least once per year. The Companys estimate includes investigations, equipment and operating costs for remediation and long-term monitoring of the sites. The Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the losses for the known exposures could exceed the current accruals by material amounts.
A Consent Decree was signed in 1994 in settlement of a civil complaint brought by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Justice. In connection with the Consent Decree, the Company is subject to a Compliance Schedule, under which the Company has improved its waste characterization procedures, upgraded one of its incinerators, and is evaluating and upgrading its industrial sewer system. The total expenditures required to complete this program are currently estimated to be approximately $1 million over the next year. These expenditures are incurred as part of plant operations and, therefore, are not included in the environmental accrual at September 30, 2007.
The Company is presently designated as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (the Superfund Law), or under similar state laws, for environmental assessment and cleanup costs as the result of the Companys alleged arrangements for disposal of hazardous substances at nine Superfund sites. With respect to each of these sites, the Companys liability is minimal. In addition, the Company has been identified as a PRP in connection with the non-imaging health businesses in two active Superfund sites. Numerous other PRPs have also been designated at these sites. Although the law imposes joint and several liability on PRPs, the Companys historical experience demonstrates that these costs are shared with other PRPs. Settlements and costs paid by the Company in Superfund matters to date have not been material. Future costs are also not expected to be material to the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Uncertainties associated with environmental remediation contingencies are pervasive and often result in wide ranges of outcomes. Estimates developed in the early stages of remediation can vary significantly. A finite estimate of costs does not normally become fixed and determinable at a specific time. Rather, the costs associated with environmental remediation become estimable over a continuum of events and activities that help to frame and define a liability, and the Company continually updates its cost estimates. The Company has an ongoing monitoring and identification process to assess how the activities, with respect to the known exposures, are progressing against the accrued cost estimates, as well as to identify other potential remediation issues.
Estimates of the amount and timing of future costs of environmental remediation requirements are by their nature imprecise because of the continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements, the availability and application of technology, the identification of presently unknown remediation sites and the allocation of costs among the potentially responsible parties. Based upon information presently available, such future costs are not expected to have a material effect on the Companys competitive or financial position. However, such costs could be material to results of operations in a particular future quarter or year.
PAGE 14
Asset Retirement Obligations
As of September 30, 2007, the Company has recorded $71 million of asset retirement obligations within Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
The Companys asset retirement obligations primarily relate to asbestos contained in buildings that the Company owns. In many of the countries in which the Company operates, environmental regulations exist that require the Company to handle and dispose of asbestos in a special manner if a building undergoes major renovations or is demolished. Otherwise, the Company is not required to remove the asbestos from its buildings. The Company records a liability equal to the estimated fair value of its obligation to perform asset retirement activities related to the asbestos, computed using an expected present value technique, when sufficient information exists to calculate the fair value. The Company does not have a liability recorded related to each building that contains asbestos because the Company cannot estimate the fair value of its obligation for certain buildings due to a lack of sufficient information about the range of time over which the obligation may be settled through demolition, renovation or sale of the building.
The change in the Company's asset retirement obligations from December 31, 2006 to September 30, 2007 was as follows:
(in millions) | ||||
Asset retirement obligations as of December 31, 2006 | $ | 92 | ||
Liabilities incurred in the current period | 3 | |||
Liabilities settled in the current period | (36 | ) | ||
Accretion expense | 3 | |||
Revisions in estimated cash flows | 7 | |||
Foreign exchange | 2 | |||
Asset retirement obligations as of September 30, 2007 | $ | 71 |
Other Commitments and Contingencies
At September 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $143 million and surety bonds in the amount of $85 million primarily to ensure the payment of possible casualty and workers compensation claims.
The Company and its subsidiary companies are involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including product liability, commercial, employment, environmental, and health and safety matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings concerning intellectual property matters, including patent infringement suits in which the Company is a defendant, and suits in which the Company is the plaintiff. There are no such matters pending representing contingent losses that the Company and its General Counsel expect to be material in relation to the Companys business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
PAGE 15
NOTE 8: GUARANTEES
The Company guarantees debt and other obligations of certain customers. The debt and other obligations are primarily due to banks and leasing companies in connection with financing of customers' purchases of product and equipment from the Company. At September 30, 2007, the following customer guarantees were in place:
As of September 30, 2007 | ||||||
Maximum | Amount | |||||
(dollars in millions) | Amount | Outstanding | ||||
Customer amounts due to banks and leasing companies | $ | 151 | $ | 110 | ||
Other third-parties | 2 | | ||||
Total guarantees of customer debt and other obligations | $ | 153 | $ | 110 |
The guarantees for the third party debt mature between 2007 and 2011. The customer financing agreements and related guarantees typically have a term of 90 days for product and short-term equipment financing arrangements, and up to five years for long-term equipment financing arrangements. These guarantees would require payment from the Company only in the event of default on payment by the respective debtor. In some cases, particularly for guarantees related to equipment financing, the Company has collateral or recourse provisions to recover and sell the equipment to reduce any losses that might be incurred in connection with the guarantees.
Management believes the likelihood is remote that material payments will be required under any of the guarantees disclosed above. With respect to the guarantees that the Company issued in the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company assessed the fair value of its obligation to stand ready to perform under these guarantees by considering the likelihood of occurrence of the specified triggering events or conditions requiring performance as well as other assumptions and factors.
The Company also guarantees debt owed to banks and other third parties for some of its consolidated subsidiaries. The maximum amount guaranteed is $666 million, and the outstanding debt under those guarantees, which is recorded within the short-term borrowings and long-term debt, net of current portion components in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, is $239 million. These guarantees expire in 2007 through 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the Company's $2.7 billion Senior Secured Credit Agreement dated October 18, 2005, obligations under the $2.7 billion Secured Credit Facilities and other obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries to the $2.7 billion Secured Credit Facilities lenders are guaranteed.
Indemnifications
The Company issues indemnifications in certain instances when it sells businesses and real estate, and in the ordinary course of business with its customers, suppliers, service providers and business partners. Further, the Company indemnifies its directors and officers who are, or were, serving at the Company's request in such capacities. Historically, costs incurred to settle claims related to these indemnifications have not been material to the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, the fair value of the indemnifications that the Company issued during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was not material to the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
PAGE 16
Warranty Costs
The Company has warranty obligations in connection with the sale of its products and equipment. The original warranty period is generally one year or less. The costs incurred to provide for these warranty obligations are estimated and recorded as an accrued liability at the time of sale. The Company estimates its warranty cost at the point of sale for a given product based on historical failure rates and related costs to repair. The change in the Company's accrued warranty obligations balance, which is reflected in accounts payable and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, was as follows:
(in millions) | ||||
Accrued warranty obligations at December 31, 2006 | $ | 39 | ||
Actual warranty experience during 2007 | (35 | ) | ||
2007 warranty provisions | 31 | |||
Accrued warranty obligations at September 30, 2007 | $ | 35 |
The Company also offers its customers extended warranty arrangements that are generally one year, but may range from three months to three years after the original warranty period. The Company provides repair services and routine maintenance under these arrangements. The Company has not separated the extended warranty revenues and costs from the routine maintenance service revenues and costs, as it is not practicable to do so. Therefore, these revenues and costs have been aggregated in the presentation below. Costs incurred under these arrangements for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 amounted to $131 million. The change in the Company's deferred revenue balance in relation to these extended warranty arrangements from December 31, 2006 to September 30, 2007, which is reflected in accounts payable and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, was as follows:
(in millions) | ||||
Deferred revenue at December 31, 2006 | $ | 143 | ||
New extended warranty arrangements in 2007 | 292 | |||
Recognition of extended warranty arrangement revenue in 2007 | (280 | ) | ||
Adjustments for changes in estimate in 2007 | (1 | ) | ||
Deferred revenue at September 30, 2007 | $ | 154 |
NOTE 9: RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER
The Company has undertaken a cost reduction program that was initially announced in January 2004. This program is referred to as the 20042007 Restructuring Program. This program was expected to result in total charges of $1.3 billion to $1.7 billion over a three-year period ending in 2006, of which $700 million to $900 million related to severance, with the remainder relating to the disposal of buildings and equipment. Overall, Kodak's worldwide facility square footage was expected to be reduced by approximately one-third. Approximately 12,000 to 15,000 positions worldwide were expected to be eliminated through these actions primarily in global manufacturing, selected traditional businesses and corporate administration.
The Company subsequently expanded the program to extend into 2007 and increased the expected employment reductions to 28,000 to 30,000 positions and total charges to $3.6 billion to $3.8 billion. The Company now expects that the total employment reductions will be in the range of 27,000 to 28,000 positions and total charges will be in the range of $3.4 billion to $3.6 billion. These new estimates reflect greater efficiencies in manufacturing infrastructure projects as well as the Companys ability to outsource or sell certain operations, which reduces involuntary severance charges.
The aforementioned 2004-2007 Restructuring Program underpins a dramatic transformation of the Company focused on two primary elements of cost restructuring: manufacturing infrastructure and operating expense rationalization. As this four-year effort has progressed, the underlying business model necessarily has evolved, requiring broader and more costly manufacturing infrastructure reductions (primarily non-cash charges) than originally anticipated, as well as similarly broader rationalization of selling, administrative and other business resources (primarily severance charges). In addition, the recent divestiture of the Health Group has further increased the amount of reductions necessary to appropriately scale the Corporate infrastructure.
The actual charges for initiatives under this program are recorded in the period in which the Company commits to formalized restructuring plans or executes the specific actions contemplated by the program and all criteria for restructuring charge recognition under the applicable accounting guidance have been met.

(1) | The costs incurred include both continuing operations of $128 million and discontinued operations of $2 million. | |
(2) | During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company paid approximately $110 million related to restructuring. Of this total amount, $103 million was recorded against restructuring reserves, while $7 million was recorded against pension and other postretirement liabilities. | |
(3) | The total restructuring charges of $130 million include pension and other postretirement charges and credits for curtailments, settlements and special termination benefits. However, because the impact of these charges and credits relate to the accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits, the related impacts on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are reflected in their respective components as opposed to within the accrued restructuring balances at September 30, 2007. Accordingly, the Other Adjustments and Reclasses column of the table above includes (1) reclassifications to Other long-term assets and Pension and other postretirement liabilities for the position elimination-related impacts on the Company's pension and other postretirement employee benefit plan arrangements, including net curtailment, settlement and special termination charges of ($11) million, and (2) reclassifications to Other long-term liabilities for the restructuring-related impacts on the Company's environmental remediation liabilities of $1 million. Additionally, the Other Adjustments and Reclasses column of the table above includes foreign currency translation of $7 million. |
The costs incurred, net of reversals, which total $129 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, include $23 million and $4 million of charges related to accelerated depreciation and inventory write-downs that were reported in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Of the remaining costs incurred, net of reversals, $2 million was included in discontinued operations and $100 million was reported as restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The severance costs and exit costs require the outlay of cash, while long-lived asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and inventory write-downs represent non-cash items.
PAGE 18
2004-2007 Restructuring Program Activity
The Company implemented certain actions under the program during the third quarter of 2007. As a result of these actions, the Company recorded charges, net of reversals, of $129 million in the third quarter of 2007, which were composed of severance, long-lived asset impairments, exit costs, inventory write-downs, and accelerated depreciation of $58 million, $6 million, $38 million, $4 million, and $23 million, respectively. Included in these amounts, $2 million of exit costs are presented as discontinued operations. The severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 1,425 positions, including approximately 100 photofinishing, 1,025 manufacturing, 50 research and development and 250 administrative positions. The geographic composition of the positions to be eliminated includes approximately 775 in the United States and Canada and 650 throughout the rest of the world. The reduction of the 1,425 positions and the $129 million charges, net of reversals, are reflected in the 2004-2007 Restructuring Program table below. The $6 million charge in the third quarter for long-lived asset impairments was included in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The charges taken for inventory write-downs of $4 million were reported in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
As a result of initiatives implemented under the 2004-2007 Restructuring Program, the Company also recorded $23 million of accelerated depreciation on long-lived assets in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The accelerated depreciation relates to long-lived assets accounted for under the held and used model of SFAS No. 144. The total amount of $23 million relates to $22 million of manufacturing facilities and equipment, and $1 million of photofinishing facilities that will be used until their abandonment. The Company will incur approximately $2 million of accelerated depreciation in the fourth quarter of 2007 as a result of the initiatives already implemented under the 2004-2007 Restructuring Program.
In April 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its manufacturing site in Xiamen, China. This sale closed in the second quarter of 2007 and resulted in a non-cash charge of approximately $238 million. This action is part of the 2004-2007 Restructuring Program.
Under this program, on a life-to-date basis as of September 30, 2007, the Company has recorded charges of $3,329 million, which was composed of severance, long-lived asset impairments, exit costs, inventory write-downs and accelerated depreciation of $1,381 million, $617 million, $342 million, $79 million and $931 million, respectively, less reversals of $21 million. The severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 27,025 positions, including approximately 6,525 photofinishing, 12,975 manufacturing, 1,500 research and development and 6,025 administrative positions.
PAGE 19
The following table summarizes the activity with respect to the charges recorded in connection with the focused cost reduction actions that the Company has committed to under the 2004-2007 Restructuring Program and the remaining balances in the related reserves at September 30, 2007:

As a result of the initiatives already implemented under the 2004-2007 Restructuring Program, severance payments will be paid during periods through 2008 since, in many instances, the employees whose positions were eliminated can elect or are required to receive their payments over an extended period of time. Most exit costs have been paid or will be paid during 2007. However, certain costs, such as long-term lease payments, will be paid over periods after 2007.
PAGE 20
The charges of $130 million recorded in the third quarter of 2007 included $28 million applicable to FPG, $19 million applicable to CDG, $7 million applicable to GCG, and $74 million that was applicable to manufacturing, research and development, and administrative functions, which are shared across all segments. The remaining $2 million was applicable to discontinued operations.
Pre-2004 Restructuring Programs Activity
At September 30, 2007, the Company had remaining exit costs reserves of $6 million, relating to restructuring plans committed to or executed prior to 2004. Most of these remaining exit costs reserves represent long-term lease payments, which will continue to be paid over periods throughout and after 2007.

For the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, $17 million and $8 million, respectively, of special termination benefits charges were incurred as a result of the Company's restructuring actions and, therefore, have been included in restructuring costs and other in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Additionally, as a result of the Company's restructuring actions, the Company recognized net curtailment and settlement gains of $7 million that have been included in restructuring costs and other in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
The Company made contributions (funded plans) or paid benefits (unfunded plans) totaling approximately $30 million relating to its major U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans in the third quarter of 2007. The Company expects its contribution (funded plans) and benefit payment (unfunded plans) requirements for its major U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans for the balance of 2007 to be approximately $39 million.

The Company paid benefits totaling approximately $42 million relating to its U.S., United Kingdom and Canada postretirement benefit plans in the third quarter of 2007. The Company expects to pay benefits of $51 million for these postretirement plans for the balance of 2007.
As a result of the cumulative impact of the ongoing position eliminations under its Pre-2004 and 2004-2007 Restructuring Programs, as disclosed in Note 9, certain of the Company's retirement plans experienced curtailment events in the third quarter of 2007. These curtailment events resulted in the remeasurement of the plans' obligations during the quarter, which decreased the Company's recognized retirement and other postretirement benefit plan obligation by $133 million.
NOTE 11: EARNINGS PER SHARE
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company calculated diluted net earnings per share excluding the assumed conversion of outstanding options to purchase 25.7 million shares of common stock at weighted average per share prices of $42.91. These options were excluded in the computation of diluted net earnings per share because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares for the period.
As a result of the net loss from continuing operations presented for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company calculated diluted net earnings (loss) per share using weighted average basic shares outstanding for the period, as utilizing diluted shares would be anti-dilutive to net earnings (loss) per share. Therefore, outstanding options to purchase 29.8 million shares of the Company's common stock were excluded in the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
As a result of the net loss from continuing operations presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company calculated diluted net earnings (loss) per share using weighted average basic shares outstanding for the period, as utilizing diluted shares would be anti-dilutive to loss per share. Therefore, outstanding options to purchase 33.8 million shares of the Company's common stock were not included in the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.
The Company currently has approximately $575 million in contingent convertible notes (the Convertible Securities) outstanding that were issued in October 2003. Interest on the Convertible Securities accrues at a rate of 3.375% and is payable semi-annually. The Convertible Securities are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 32.2373 shares of the Company's common stock for each $1,000 principal of the Convertible Securities. The Company's diluted net earnings (loss) per share exclude the effect of the Convertible Securities, as they were anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

NOTE 12: SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company has 950 million shares of authorized common stock with a par value of $2.50 per share, of which 391 million shares had been issued as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Treasury stock at cost consists of approximately 103 million shares at September 30, 2007 and 104 million shares at December 31, 2006.

NOTE 15: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On April 30, 2007, the Company sold all of the assets and business operations of its Health Group segment to Onex Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (Onex) (now known as Carestream Health, Inc.), a subsidiary of Onex Corporation, for up to $2.55 billion. The price was composed of $2.35 billion in cash at closing and $200 million in additional future payments if Onex achieves certain returns with respect to its investment. If Onex investors realize an internal rate of return in excess of 25% on their investment, the Company will receive payment equal to 25% of the excess return, up to $200 million.
The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $980 million on the sale in the second quarter of 2007, and recorded pre-tax true-up adjustments to the gain on sale totaling $6 million in the third quarter of 2007, primarily related to gains from pension settlements. The pre-tax gain excludes the following: up to $200 million of potential future payments related to Onex's return on its investment as noted above; potential charges related to settling pension obligations with Onex in future periods; and any adjustments that may be made in the future that are currently under review.
The Company used a portion of the initial $2.35 billion cash proceeds to fully repay its approximately $1.15 billion of Secured Term Debt. About 8,100 employees of the Company associated with the Health Group transitioned to Carestream Health, Inc. as part of the transaction. Also included in the sale were manufacturing operations focused on the production of health imaging products, as well as an office building in Rochester, NY.
The following is a summary of the composition of Earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations:

(1) | Due to the April 30, 2007 close date, 2007 amounts include four months of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. |
Upon authorization of the Company's Board of Directors on January 8, 2007, the Company met all the requirements of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," for accounting for the Health Group segment as a discontinued operation. As such, the Health Group business ceased depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets. In accordance with EITF No. 87-24, "Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations," the Company allocated certain interest expense on debt that was required to be repaid as a result of the sale. Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations totaled $23 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, and $30 million and $67 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
In accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the Company recorded a tax benefit in continuing operations associated with the realization of current year losses in certain jurisdictions where it has historically had a valuation allowance due to the recognition of the pre-tax gain in discontinued operations.
The following assets and liabilities, related to the Health Group business, were segregated and included in current and non-current Assets of discontinued operations and Liabilities of discontinued operations, as appropriate, in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at December 31, 2006.

Worldwide Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, net sales were virtually unchanged compared with the same period in 2006, as significant increases in digital revenues in both CDG and GCG were offset by industry-related volume declines in the traditional businesses within all three segments. In addition, foreign exchange resulted in a positive impact to net sales during the quarter. Specifically, unfavorable price/mix was primarily driven by product portfolio shifts in Digital Capture and Devices and by price declines in the kiosk and related media portion of Retail Printing within CDG. Volume did not have a significant impact on consolidated net sales, as declines within traditional SPGs were generally offset by volume increases within digital SPGs.
PAGE 28
The increase in digital product sales was primarily due to increased revenues from Digital Capture and Devices, and the digital portion of Retail Printing, both within CDG. Within GCG, growth in Digital Printing Solutions and in the digital prepress consumables portion of Prepress Solutions also contributed to this increase.
The decrease in net sales of the Company's traditional products was primarily driven by declines in Film Capture within FPG, and the traditional portion of Retail Printing within CDG.
Gross Profit
Gross profit improved in the third quarter of 2007 in both dollars and as a percentage of sales, due largely to reduced manufacturing and other costs as a result of a number of factors, as well as increased intellectual property royalties within CDG. In addition, foreign exchange was a positive contributor to gross profit as a result of the weak U.S. dollar. The decreases in manufacturing and other costs were driven by a combination of the impact of the Company's cost reduction initiatives, strategic manufacturing and supply chain initiatives within CDG, lower restructuring-related charges, and lower depreciation expense, partially offset by increased silver and aluminum costs. These increases to gross profit margins were also partially offset by unfavorable price/mix, which was primarily driven by Digital Capture and Devices within CDG, Film Capture within FPG, and Prepress Solutions within GCG.
Included in gross profit for the quarter is a non-recurring extension and amendment of an existing license arrangement within Digital Capture and Devices. This licensing arrangement contributed approximately 2.6% of revenue to consolidated gross profit dollars in the current quarter, as compared with 2.2% of revenue to consolidated gross profit dollars for a similar arrangement in the prior year quarter.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The year-over-year decrease in consolidated SG&A was primarily attributable to significant Company-wide cost reduction actions, partially offset by increased advertising costs related to Consumer Inkjet Systems.
Research and Development Costs
The decrease in research and development costs (R&D) was primarily driven by the continuing realignment of resources, as well as the timing of development of new products.
Restructuring Costs and Other
These costs, as well as the restructuring-related costs reported in cost of goods sold, are discussed under "RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER" below.
Other Operating Expenses (Income), Net
The other operating expenses (income), net category includes gains and losses on sales of capital assets and certain asset impairment charges. The year-over-year change in other operating expenses (income), net was largely driven by significant one-time gains on sales of capital assets in the prior year quarter.
Interest Expense
Lower interest expense was primarily due to lower debt levels resulting from the full payoff of the Company's Secured Term Debt in the second quarter of 2007.
PAGE 29
Other Income (Charges), Net
The other income (charges), net category includes interest income, income and losses from equity investments, and foreign exchange gains and losses. The increase in other income (charges), net was primarily attributable to higher interest income due to higher year-over-year cash balances resulting from the proceeds on the sale of the Health Group, and was also impacted by higher gains on foreign exchange transactions than in the prior year.

Worldwide Revenues
Net sales in CDG increased 1% due to increases in digital products, significantly offset by decreases in the traditional portion of the business. Volume increases were primarily attributable to digital cameras, kiosks and related media, and the new digital picture frames, partially offset by declines in the traditional portion of Retail Printing and snapshot printing. Negative price/mix was largely driven by digital camera product portfolio shifts within Digital Capture and Devices, and kiosks and related media within Retail Printing.
Net worldwide sales of Digital Capture and Devices, which includes consumer digital cameras, accessories, memory products, snapshot printers and related media, and intellectual property royalties, increased 18% in the third quarter of 2007 as compared with the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting higher digital camera volumes, sales of new digital picture frames, increased intellectual property royalties and favorable exchange, partially offset by negative price/mix and lower snapshot printing volumes. For digital still cameras, Kodak remains in the top three market position on a worldwide basis year-to-date through August.
Retail Printing includes color negative paper, photochemicals, service and support, photofinishing services, and retail kiosks and related media. Net worldwide sales of Retail Printing decreased 13% in the third quarter of 2007 as compared with the prior year quarter, reflecting volume declines in the traditional portion of the business and negative price/mix in kiosks and related media, partially offset by favorable foreign exchange. Paper, photochemicals, and output systems revenues declined 16% and sales of photofinishing services declined 32% from the third quarter of 2006, reflecting continuing industry volume declines. These declines were partially offset by increased sales of kiosks and related media, which increased 13% from the prior year quarter. The change in kiosks and related media sales reflects strong consumables sales at retail locations, as well as higher kiosk equipment sales.
PAGE 31
CDG digital product sales are comprised of digital capture and devices, kiosks/media, online printing, consumer inkjet systems, and imaging sensors. The 16% increase was primarily driven by higher sales of digital cameras, higher kiosk and related media sales, increased intellectual property royalties and sales of new digital picture frames, partially offset by declines in snapshot printing.
CDG traditional product sales are comprised of consumer and professional photographic paper, photochemicals and photofinishing services. The 20% decrease in traditional product sales for CDG was primarily driven by declines in photofinishing services and photographic paper.
Gross Profit
The increase in gross profit margin for CDG was primarily attributable to reductions in cost, increases in intellectual property royalties, and favorable foreign exchange. The reductions in manufacturing and other costs were primarily driven by strategic manufacturing and supply chain initiatives to respond to continuous unfavorable price in Digital Capture and Devices. In addition, cost reductions were driven by the benefits of previous restructuring activities and lower depreciation expense, partially offset by adverse silver costs, and costs associated with the scaling of manufacturing and new product introduction activities in the Consumer Inkjet Systems business. The gross profit margin improvement was partially offset by unfavorable mix in Digital Capture and Devices, excluding intellectual property royalties.
Included in gross profit for the quarter is a non-recurring extension and amendment to an existing license arrangement. The impact of this licensing arrangement contributed approximately 6.0% of revenue to segment gross profit dollars in the current quarter, as compared with 5.1% of revenue to segment gross profit dollars for a similar arrangement in the prior year quarter. These types of arrangements provide the Company with a return on portions of historical R&D investments and similar opportunities are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The increase in SG&A expenses for CDG was primarily driven by increased advertising expenses associated with Consumer Inkjet Systems, partially offset by focused cost reduction initiatives and improved go-to-market structure.
Research and Development Costs
The decrease in R&D costs for CDG was attributable to spending incurred in 2006 related to the development of Consumer Inkjet Systems, which were introduced in the first quarter of 2007.

Worldwide Revenues
The decrease in FPG worldwide net sales was comprised of: (1) lower volumes, which were primarily attributable to Film Capture and Entertainment Imaging films, and (2) declines related to negative price/mix, which were primarily attributable to Film Capture. These decreases were partially offset by favorable foreign exchange.
Net worldwide sales of Film Capture, including consumer roll film (35mm and APS film), one-time-use cameras (OTUC), professional films, and reloadable traditional film cameras, decreased 32% in the third quarter of 2007 as compared with the third quarter of 2006, primarily reflecting continuing industry volume declines and negative price/mix, partially offset by favorable exchange.
Net worldwide sales for Entertainment Imaging films, which includes origination, intermediate, and print films for the entertainment industry, decreased 5% compared with the prior year, primarily reflecting volume declines in color print films and negative price/mix in origination films, partially offset by favorable exchange across all product lines.
Gross Profit
The increase in FPG gross profit margin was primarily attributable to decreased manufacturing and other costs, which were driven by the impact of the Company's cost reduction initiatives, and lower depreciation expense, partially offset by increased silver costs. Favorable foreign exchange also increased gross profit margins. Negative price/mix effects were driven by both Film Capture and Entertainment Imaging films.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The decline in SG&A expenses for FPG was attributable to the concentrated efforts of the business to achieve target cost models.

Worldwide Revenues
Volume increases and favorable foreign exchange combined to drive the growth in GCG net sales during the quarter. Specifically, volume growth was primarily driven by Prepress Solutions, Digital Printing Solutions, and Enterprise Solutions. Within Prepress Solutions, volume growth in digital prepress consumables was partially offset by volume declines in traditional prepress consumables.
Net worldwide sales of Prepress Solutions increased 5%, primarily driven by increased sales of digital plates, partially offset by declines in sales of analog plates.
Net worldwide sales of Document Imaging increased 2% compared with prior year, driven by increased revenue in business process services and scanners.
Net worldwide sales of Digital Printing Solutions increased 10%, primarily driven by electrophotographic solutions.
Net worldwide sales of Enterprise Solutions increased 5%, primarily attributable to revenue growth from workflow software products.
GCG digital product sales are comprised of Enterprise Solutions, Digital Printing Solutions, portions of Prepress Solutions and portions of Document Imaging. The 9% increase in digital products and services revenue was primarily attributable to increased sales from Digital Printing Solutions and the digital portions of Prepress Solutions.
GCG traditional product sales are comprised of sales of traditional prepress consumables, including analog plates and graphics film, and traditional document imaging equipment and media. The 15% decrease in traditional product sales was primarily attributable to lower volumes of analog plates.
PAGE 34
Gross Profit
While gross profit dollars increased due to sales volume, the decline in gross profit margin was primarily driven by unfavorable price/mix, largely related to Prepress Solutions and Enterprise Solutions. The increased manufacturing costs were mainly due to higher aluminum and silver costs. These unfavorable items were partially offset by favorable foreign exchange and volume increases.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in SG&A expenses for GCG is largely attributable to concentrated efforts to achieve targeted cost reductions.
ALL OTHER
Worldwide Revenues
Net worldwide sales for All Other were $42 million for the third quarter of 2007 as compared with $13 million for the third quarter of 2006, representing an increase of $29 million, or 223%. This increase is attributable to ongoing manufacturing supply and cost-recovery arrangements with Carestream Health, Inc.
Loss From Continuing Operations Before Interest, Other Income (Charges), Net and Income Taxes
The loss from continuing operations before interest, other income (charges), net and income taxes for All Other was $9 million in the current quarter as compared with a loss of $16 million in the third quarter of 2006. This $7 million improvement in earnings was largely driven by cost reduction actions within the display business.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On April 30, 2007, the Company sold all of the assets and business operations of its Health Group segment to Onex Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (Onex) (now known as Carestream Health, Inc.), a subsidiary of Onex Corporation, for up to $2.55 billion. The price was composed of $2.35 billion in cash at closing and $200 million in additional future payments if Onex achieves certain returns with respect to its investment. If Onex investors realize an internal rate of return in excess of 25% on their investment, the Company will receive payment equal to 25% of the excess return, up to $200 million.
The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $980 million on the sale in the second quarter of 2007, and recorded pre-tax true-up adjustments to the gain on sale totaling $6 million in the third quarter of 2007, primarily related to gains from pension settlements. The pre-tax gain excludes the following: up to $200 million of potential future payments related to Onex's return on its investment as noted above; potential charges related to settling pension obligations with Onex in future periods; and any adjustments that may be made in the future that are currently under review.
The Company used a portion of the initial $2.35 billion cash proceeds to fully repay its approximately $1.15 billion of Secured Term Debt. About 8,100 employees of the Company associated with the Health Group transitioned to Carestream Health, Inc. as part of the transaction. Also included in the sale were manufacturing operations focused on the production of health imaging products, as well as an office building in Rochester, NY.
Upon authorization of the Company's Board of Directors on January 8, 2007, the Company met all the requirements of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," for accounting for the Health Group segment as a discontinued operation. As such, the Health Group business ceased depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets. In accordance with EITF No. 87-24, "Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations," the Company allocated certain interest expense on debt that was required to be repaid as a result of the sale. Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations totaled $23 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
PAGE 35
Total Company earnings from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 of $3 million and $46 million, respectively, were net of a provision for income taxes of $3 million, and a benefit for income taxes of $10 million, respectively.

Worldwide Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net sales declined as significant industry-related volume declines in the traditional businesses within all three segments were partially offset by growth in digital revenues in CDG and GCG. However, foreign exchange resulted in a positive impact to net sales during the period. The decrease in volumes was primarily driven by Film Capture within FPG, and the traditional portion of Retail Printing within CDG. Negative price/mix was primarily driven by the product portfolio shifts within Digital Capture and Devices and by Retail Printing within CDG.
PAGE 36
The increase in digital product sales was primarily due to revenue growth in the digital prepress consumables portion of Prepress Solutions and Enterprise Solutions within GCG, and kiosks and related media within CDG. Revenues from Digital Capture and Devices within CDG were essentially flat year-over-year.
The decrease in net sales of traditional products was primarily driven by declines in Film Capture within FPG, the traditional portion of Retail Printing within CDG, and the traditional consumables portion of Prepress Solutions within GCG.
Gross Profit
Gross profit improved in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 in both dollars and as a percentage of sales, due largely to reduced manufacturing and other costs as a result of a number of factors, as well as increased intellectual property royalties within CDG. In addition, foreign exchange was a positive contributor to gross profit as a result of the weak U.S. dollar. The decreases in manufacturing and other costs were due to a combination of the impact of the Company's cost reduction initiatives, strategic manufacturing and supply chain initiatives within CDG, lower restructuring-related charges, and lower depreciation expense, partially offset by increased silver and aluminum costs. The unfavorable price/mix was driven by Digital Capture and Devices and Retail Printing within CDG, and Film Capture within FPG.
Included in gross profit is a non-recurring extension and amendment to an existing license arrangement during the current period. The impact of this licensing arrangement contributed approximately 0.9% of revenue to consolidated gross profit dollars in the current period, as compared with 0.8% of revenue to consolidated gross profit dollars for a similar arrangement in the prior year period. These types of arrangements provide the Company with a return on portions of historical R&D investments and similar opportunities are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The year-over-year decrease in consolidated SG&A was primarily attributable to significant Company-wide cost reduction actions, partially offset by increased advertising costs related to Consumer Inkjet Systems.
Research and Development Costs
The decrease in R&D costs was primarily driven by the continuing realignment of resources, as well as the timing of development of new products.
Restructuring Costs and Other
The most significant portion of the year-to-date restructuring costs was a $238 million impairment charge related to the sale of the Company's Xiamen, China facility in the second quarter. These costs, as well as the restructuring-related costs reported in cost of goods sold, are discussed in further detail under "RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER" below.
Interest Expense
Lower interest expense was primarily due to lower debt levels resulting from the full payoff of the Company's Secured Term Debt in the second quarter of 2007.
PAGE 37
Other Income (Charges), Net
The Other income (charges), net category includes interest income, income and losses from equity investments, and foreign exchange gains and losses. The increase in other income (charges), net as compared with the prior year period was primarily attributable to increased interest income due to higher cash balances.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the difference between the Company's recorded benefit and the benefit that would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) losses generated in certain jurisdictions outside the U.S., which were not benefited, (2) the mix of earnings from operations in certain lower-taxed jurisdictions outside the U.S., (3) non-U.S. tax benefits of $42 million associated with restructuring costs and asset impairments, (4) a net benefit of $75 million associated with adjustments related to uncertain tax positions, and (5) a tax provision of $13 million associated with the impact of foreign legislative tax rate changes.
During the second quarter of 2007 the Company identified a deferred tax asset in a recently acquired non-U.S. subsidiary, which should have been appropriately reserved with a valuation allowance in a prior period. Therefore, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $20 million in the second quarter of 2007. This amount is included in the $64 million benefit discussed above.
In accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the Company recorded a tax benefit in continuing operations associated with the realization of current year losses in certain jurisdictions where it has historically had a valuation allowance due to the recognition of the pre-tax gain in discontinued operations.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the difference between the Company's recorded provision and the benefit that would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) losses generated within the U.S. and in certain jurisdictions outside the U.S., which were not benefited, (2) the mix of earnings from operations in certain lower-taxed jurisdictions outside the U.S., (3) non-U.S. tax benefits of $64 million associated with restructuring costs and asset impairments, and (4) discrete tax charges of $44 million relating primarily to purchase accounting for the Creo and KPG acquisitions, tax rate changes, impacts from ongoing tax audits with respect to open tax years, and other property sales gains/losses.

Worldwide Revenues
Net sales in CDG declined 7% due to significant declines in the traditional portion of the business, partially offset by increases in digital products. The negative price/mix was primarily driven by digital camera product portfolio shifts within Digital Capture and Devices and by Retail Printing. The decrease in volumes was largely attributable to snapshot printing, the traditional portion of Retail Printing, and inkjet media, partially offset by sales of the new digital picture frames and inkjet printers.
Net worldwide sales of Digital Capture and Devices, which includes consumer digital cameras, accessories, memory products, snapshot printers and related media, and intellectual property royalties, were essentially flat in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared with the prior year period, primarily reflecting negative price/mix on digital cameras and lower snapshot printing volumes, largely offset by increased intellectual property royalties, sales of new digital picture frames, and favorable foreign exchange. For digital still cameras, Kodak remains in the top three market position on a worldwide basis year-to-date through August.
Retail Printing includes color negative paper, photochemicals, service and support, photofinishing services, and retail kiosks and related media. Net worldwide sales of Retail Printing decreased 14% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared with the prior year period, reflecting volume declines in the traditional portion of the business, and negative price/mix, partially offset by favorable foreign exchange. Paper, photochemicals, and output systems revenues declined 14% and sales of photofinishing services declined 39% as compared with the prior year period, reflecting continuing industry volume declines. These declines were partially offset by increased sales of kiosks and related media, which increased 9% from the prior year period.
CDG digital product sales are comprised of digital capture and devices, kiosks/media, online printing, consumer inkjet systems, and imaging sensors. The 3% increase in digital product sales for CDG was primarily driven by intellectual property royalty revenues, new digital picture frames, kiosks and related media, and new inkjet printers, partially offset by declines in sales of snapshot printing, digital cameras, and inkjet media.
PAGE 39
CDG traditional product sales are comprised of consumer and professional photographic paper, photochemicals and photofinishing services. The 21% decrease in traditional product sales was primarily driven by declines in photofinishing services and photographic paper.
Gross Profit
The increase in gross profit margin for CDG was primarily attributable to reductions in cost, increases in intellectual property royalties, and favorable foreign exchange. The reductions in manufacturing and other costs were primarily driven by strategic manufacturing and supply chain initiatives to respond to continuous unfavorable price in Digital Capture and Devices. In addition, cost reductions were driven by the benefits of previous restructuring activities and lower depreciation expense, partially offset by adverse silver costs, and costs associated with the scaling of manufacturing and new product introduction activities in the Consumer Inkjet Systems business. The gross profit margin improvement was partially offset by unfavorable price/mix in Retail Printing.
Included in gross profit is a non-recurring extension and amendment to an existing license arrangement during the current period. The impact of this licensing arrangement contributed approximately 2.3% of revenue to segment gross profit dollars in the current period, as compared with 1.8% of revenue to segment gross profit dollars for a similar arrangement in the prior year period. These types of arrangements provide the Company with a return on portions of historical R&D investments and similar opportunities are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in SG&A expenses for CDG was primarily driven by focused cost reduction initiatives and improved go-to-market structure, partially offset by increased advertising expenses associated with Consumer Inkjet Systems.
Research and Development Costs
The decrease in R&D costs for CDG is largely attributable to spending incurred in 2006 related to the development of Consumer Inkjet Systems, which were introduced in the first quarter of 2007, and was also impacted by cost reduction actions.

Worldwide Revenues
The decrease in FPG worldwide net sales was comprised of: (1) lower volumes, which were primarily attributable to Film Capture, and (2) declines related to negative price/mix, which were primarily attributable to Film Capture and Entertainment Imaging films. These decreases were partially offset by favorable foreign exchange.
Net worldwide sales of Film Capture, including consumer roll film (35mm and APS film), one-time-use cameras (OTUC), professional films, and reloadable traditional film cameras, decreased 30% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared with the prior year period, primarily reflecting continuing industry volume declines and negative price/mix, partially offset by favorable exchange.
Net worldwide sales for Entertainment Imaging films, which include origination, intermediate, and print films for the entertainment industry, increased 1%, primarily reflecting favorable foreign exchange, partially offset by unfavorable price/mix and volume declines.
Gross Profit
Reduced manufacturing and other costs were driven by cost reduction initiatives and lower depreciation expense, partially offset by higher silver costs. These improvements in gross profit margins were partially offset by negative price/mix within both Film Capture and Entertainment Imaging films.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The decline in SG&A expenses for FPG was attributable to the concentrated efforts of the business to reduce costs.

Worldwide Revenues
The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to favorable foreign exchange. The volume declines were primarily driven by the traditional prepress consumables portion of Prepress Solutions, largely offset by increases in the digital prepress consumables portion of Prepress Solutions. Unfavorable price/mix was primarily attributable to Prepress Solutions and Enterprise Solutions.
Net worldwide sales of Prepress Solutions increased 2%, primarily driven by increased sales of digital plates, partially offset by declines in sales of analog plates and prepress equipment sales.
Net worldwide sales of Document Imaging increased 1%, primarily driven by increased business process service revenues, partially offset by traditional document imaging media.
Net worldwide sales of Digital Printing Solutions increased 1%, primarily driven by growth in consumables and service, partially offset by declines in equipment.
Net worldwide sales of Enterprise Solutions increased 11%, primarily driven by growth from workflow software products.
GCG digital product sales are comprised of Enterprise Solutions, Digital Printing Solutions, portions of Prepress Solutions, and portions of Document Imaging. The 5% increase in digital product sales for GCG was primarily attributable to the digital portion of Prepress Solutions, Enterprise Solutions, and favorable exchange.
The 15% decrease in GCG traditional product sales was primarily attributable to lower volumes of analog plates.
PAGE 42
Gross Profit
Gross profit deteriorated slightly compared with the prior year period, largely as a result of the increased manufacturing and other costs, driven by adverse aluminum and silver pricing. The negative price/mix was largely driven by Prepress Solutions, Digital Printing Solutions, and Enterprise Solutions. These negative impacts on gross profit margin were partially offset by favorable foreign exchange.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in SG&A expenses for GCG was largely attributable to concentrated efforts of the business to achieve targeted cost reductions.
ALL OTHER
Worldwide Revenues
Net worldwide sales for All Other were $83 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared with $48 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, representing an increase of $35 million, or 73%. This increase is attributable to ongoing manufacturing supply and cost-recovery arrangements with Carestream Health, Inc.
Loss From Continuing Operations Before Interest, Other Income (Charges), Net and Income Taxes
The loss from continuing operations before interest, other income (charges), net and income taxes for All Other was $30 million in the current period as compared with a loss of $57 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This $27 million improvement in earnings is largely driven by cost reduction actions within the display business.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On April 30, 2007, the Company sold all of the assets and business operations of its Health Group segment to Onex Healthcare Holdings, Inc. Refer to "Results of Operations - Discontinued Operations" for the third quarter on page 34.
Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations totaled $30 million and $67 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Total Company earnings from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 of $753 million (including a pre-tax gain on sale of $986 million) and $167 million, respectively, were net of a provision for income taxes of $267 million, and a benefit for income taxes of $26 million, respectively.
RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER
The Company has undertaken a cost reduction program that was initially announced in January 2004. This program is referred to as the 20042007 Restructuring Program. This program was expected to result in total charges of $1.3 billion to $1.7 billion over a three-year period ending in 2006, of which $700 million to $900 million related to severance, with the remainder relating to the disposal of buildings and equipment. Overall, Kodak's worldwide facility square footage was expected to be reduced by approximately one-third. Approximately 12,000 to 15,000 positions worldwide were expected to be eliminated through these actions primarily in global manufacturing, selected traditional businesses and corporate administration.
The Company subsequently expanded the program to extend into 2007 and increased the expected employment reductions to 28,000 to 30,000 positions and total charges to $3.6 billion to $3.8 billion. The Company now expects that the total employment reductions will be in the range of 27,000 to 28,000 positions and total charges will be in the range of $3.4 billion to $3.6 billion. These new estimates reflect greater efficiencies in manufacturing infrastructure projects as well as the Companys ability to outsource or sell certain operations, which reduces involuntary severance charges.
PAGE 43
The aforementioned 2004-2007 Restructuring Program underpins a dramatic transformation of the Company focused on two primary elements of cost restructuring: manufacturing infrastructure and operating expense rationalization. As this four-year effort has progressed, the underlying business model necessarily has evolved, requiring broader and more costly manufacturing infrastructure reductions (primarily non-cash charges) than originally anticipated, as well as similarly broader rationalization of selling, administrative and other business resources (primarily severance charges). In addition, the recent divestiture of the Health Group has further increased the amount of reductions necessary to appropriately scale the Corporate infrastructure.
The actual charges for initiatives under this program are recorded in the period in which the Company commits to formalized restructuring plans or executes the specific actions contemplated by the program and all criteria for restructuring charge recognition under the applicable accounting guidance have been met.
Restructuring Programs Summary
The activity in the accrued restructuring balances and the non-cash charges incurred in relation to all of the Company's restructuring programs were as follows for the third quarter of 2007:

(1) | The costs incurred include both continuing operations of $128 million and discontinued operations of $2 million. | |
(2) | During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company paid approximately $110 million related to restructuring. Of this total amount, $103 million was recorded against restructuring reserves, while $7 million was recorded against pension and other postretirement liabilities. | |
(3) | The total restructuring charges of $130 million include pension and other postretirement charges and credits for curtailments, settlements and special termination benefits. However, because the impact of these charges and credits relate to the accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits, the related impacts on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are reflected in their respective components as opposed to within the accrued restructuring balances at September 30, 2007. Accordingly, the Other Adjustments and Reclasses column of the table above includes (1) reclassifications to Other long-term assets and Pension and other postretirement liabilities for the position elimination-related impacts on the Company's pension and other postretirement employee benefit plan arrangements, including net curtailment, settlement and special termination charges of ($11) million, and (2) reclassifications to Other long-term liabilities for the restructuring-related impacts on the Company's environmental remediation liabilities of $1 million. Additionally, the Other Adjustments and Reclasses column of the table above includes foreign currency translation of $7 million. | |
PAGE 44
The costs incurred, net of reversals, which total $129 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, include $23 million and $4 million of charges related to accelerated depreciation and inventory write-downs that were reported in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Of the remaining costs incurred, net of reversals, $2 million was included in discontinued operations and $100 million was reported as restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The severance costs and exit costs require the outlay of cash, while long-lived asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and inventory write-downs represent non-cash items.
2004-2007 Restructuring Program Activity
The Company implemented certain actions under the program during the third quarter of 2007. As a result of these actions, the Company recorded charges, net of reversals, of $129 million in the third quarter of 2007, which were composed of severance, long-lived asset impairments, exit costs, inventory write-downs, and accelerated depreciation of $58 million, $6 million, $36 million, $4 million, and $23 million, respectively. Included in these amounts, $2 million of exit costs are presented as discontinued operations. The severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 1,425 positions, including approximately 100 photofinishing, 1,025 manufacturing, 50 research and development and 250 administrative positions. The geographic composition of the positions to be eliminated includes approximately 775 in the United States and Canada and 650 throughout the rest of the world. The reduction of the 1,425 positions and the $129 million charges, net of reversals, are reflected in the 2004-2007 Restructuring Program table below. The $6 million charge in the third quarter for long-lived asset impairments was included in restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The charges taken for inventory write-downs of $4 million were reported in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
As a result of initiatives implemented under the 2004-2007 Restructuring Program, the Company also recorded $23 million of accelerated depreciation on long-lived assets in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The accelerated depreciation relates to long-lived assets accounted for under the held and used model of SFAS No. 144. The total amount of $23 million relates to $22 million of manufacturing facilities and equipment, and $1 million of photofinishing facilities that will be used until their abandonment. The Company will incur approximately $2 million of accelerated depreciation in the fourth quarter of 2007 as a result of the initiatives already implemented under the 2004-2007 Restructuring Program.
In April 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its manufacturing site in Xiamen, China. This sale closed in the second quarter of 2007 and resulted in a non-cash charge of approximately $238 million. This action is part of the 2004-2007 Restructuring Program.
Under this program, on a life-to-date basis as of September 30, 2007, the Company has recorded charges of $3,329 million, which was composed of severance, long-lived asset impairments, exit costs, inventory write-downs and accelerated depreciation of $1,381 million, $617 million, $342 million, $79 million and $931 million, respectively, less reversals of $21 million. The severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 27,025 positions, including approximately 6,525 photofinishing, 12,975 manufacturing, 1,500 research and development and 6,025 administrative positions.
The following table summarizes the activity with respect to the charges recorded in connection with the focused cost reduction actions that the Company has committed to under the 2004-2007 Restructuring Program and the remaining balances in the related reserves at September 30, 2007:

As a result of the initiatives already implemented under the 2004-2007 Restructuring Program, severance payments will be paid during periods through 2008 since, in many instances, the employees whose positions were eliminated can elect or are required to receive their payments over an extended period of time. Most exit costs have been paid or will be paid during 2007. However, certain costs, such as long-term lease payments, will be paid over periods after 2007.
PAGE 46
The charges of $130 million recorded in the third quarter of 2007 included $28 million applicable to FPG, $19 million applicable to CDG, $7 million applicable to GCG, and $74 million that was applicable to manufacturing, research and development, and administrative functions, which are shared across all segments. The remaining $2 million is applicable to discontinued operations.
The restructuring actions implemented during the third quarter of 2007 under the 2004-2007 Restructuring Program are expected to generate future annual cost savings of approximately $83 million, all of which are expected to be future annual cash savings. These cost savings began to be realized by the Company beginning in the third quarter of 2007, and are expected to be fully realized by the end of 2008 as most of the actions and severance payouts are completed. These total cost savings are expected to reduce future cost of goods sold, SG&A, and R&D expenses by approximately $53 million, $25 million, and $5 million, respectively.
Based on all of the actions taken to date under the 2004-2007 Restructuring Program, the program is expected to generate annual cost savings of approximately $1,618 million, including annual cash savings of $1,544 million, as compared with pre-program levels. The Company began realizing these savings in the second quarter of 2004, and expects the savings to be fully realized by the end of 2008 as most of the actions and severance payouts are completed. These total cost savings are expected to reduce cost of goods sold, SG&A, and R&D expenses by approximately $1,026 million, $444 million, and $148 million, respectively.
The above savings estimates are based primarily on objective data related to the Company's severance actions. Savings resulting from facility closures and other non-severance actions that are more difficult to quantify are not included. The Company reaffirms its estimate of total annual cost savings including both employee-related costs and facility-related costs under the extended 2004-2007 Restructuring Program of $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion, as announced in July 2005, and does not expect the final annual cost savings to differ materially from this estimate.
Pre-2004 Restructuring Programs Activity
At September 30, 2007, the Company had remaining exit costs reserves of $6 million, relating to restructuring plans committed to or executed prior to 2004. Most of these remaining exit costs reserves represent long-term lease payments, which will continue to be paid over periods throughout and after 2007.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flow Activity
The Companys primary sources and uses of cash for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 included proceeds on the sale of the Health Group, earnings from continuing operations, adjusted for non-cash items of income and expense, debt payments, restructuring payments, capital additions, working capital needs, dividend payments and employee benefit plan payments/contributions.
Net cash used in continuing operations from operating activities was $694 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The Companys primary sources of cash from operating activities for the period are earnings from continuing operations, as adjusted for non-cash items of income and expense, which provided $486 million of operating cash. The Companys primary uses of cash in operating activities include:
PAGE 47
Included in the uses of cash in operating activities discussed above were:
Net cash used in continuing operations in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $43 million includes capital additions of $179 million. The majority of the spending supports new products, manufacturing productivity and quality improvements, infrastructure improvements, equipment placements with customers, and ongoing environmental and safety initiatives. Proceeds from sales of businesses and assets in the period provided cash of $146 million.
Net cash provided by discontinued operations from investing activities was $2,335 million largely due to the proceeds received in connection with the sale of the Health Group business. The Company utilized a portion of this cash for the full repayment of the Secured Term Debt, as reflected in net cash used in financing activities in the period.
Net cash used in financing activities was $1,215 million, including the repayment of debt discussed above and dividends of $72 million. The Company has a dividend policy whereby it makes semi-annual payments which, when declared, will be paid on the Companys 10th business day each July and December to shareholders of record on the close of the first business day of the preceding month. On May 9, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $.25 per share payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2007. This dividend was paid on July 16, 2007. On October 16, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $.25 per share payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 1, 2007 and payable on December 14, 2007.
The Company believes that its cash flow from operations, in addition to asset sales, will be sufficient to cover its working capital and capital investment needs and the funds required for future debt reduction, restructuring payments, dividend payments, employee benefit plan payments/contributions, and potential acquisitions. The Company's cash balances and its financing arrangements will be used to bridge timing differences between expenditures and cash generated from operations.
Short-Term Borrowings
As of September 30, 2007, the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, maintained $1,086 million in committed bank lines of credit and $484 million in uncommitted bank lines of credit to ensure continued access to short-term borrowing capacity.
Secured Credit Facilities
On October 18, 2005 the Company closed on $2.7 billion of Senior Secured Credit Facilities (Secured Credit Facilities) under a new Secured Credit Agreement (Secured Credit Agreement) and associated Security Agreement and Canadian Security Agreement. The Secured Credit Facilities consist of a $1.0 billion 5-Year Committed Revolving Credit Facility (5-Year Revolving Credit Facility) expiring October 18, 2010 and $1.7 billion of Term Loan Facilities (Term Facilities) expiring October 18, 2012.
The 5-Year Revolving Credit Facility can be used by Eastman Kodak Company (U.S. Borrower) for general corporate purposes including the issuance of letters of credit. Amounts available under the facility can be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed throughout the term of the facility provided the Company remains in compliance with covenants contained in the Secured Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2007, there was no debt outstanding and $141 million of letters of credit issued under this facility.
PAGE 48
Under the Term Facilities, $1.2 billion was borrowed at closing primarily to refinance debt originally issued under the Companys previous $1.225 billion 5-Year Facility to finance the acquisition of Creo Inc. on June 15, 2005. The $1.2 billion consisted of a $920 million 7-Year Term Loan to the U.S. Borrower and $280 million 7-Year Term Loan to Kodak Graphic Communications Canada Company (KGCCC or, the Canadian Borrower). Pursuant to the terms of the Secured Credit Agreement, an additional $500 million was available to the U.S. Borrower under the seven-year term loan facility for advance at any time through June 15, 2006. On June 15, 2006, the Company used this $500 million to refinance $500 million 6.375% Medium Term Notes, Series A, due June 15, 2006.
On January 10, 2007, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell its Health Group to Onex Healthcare Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of Onex Corporation. Under terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to sell its Health Group to Onex for up to $2.55 billion. The price was composed of $2.35 billion in cash at closing, plus up to $200 million in additional future payments if Onex achieves certain returns with respect to its investment. If Onex Healthcare investors realize an internal rate of return in excess of 25% on their investment, the Company will receive payment equal to 25% of the excess return, up to $200 million. The sale closed on April 30, 2007. Because of tax-loss carryforwards and other tax attributes, the Company retained the vast majority of the initial $2.35 billion cash proceeds. Consistent with the terms of the Secured Credit Agreement, on May 3, 2007 the Company used a portion of the proceeds to fully repay its approximately $1.15 billion of secured term debt.
At September 30, 2007, there were no borrowings outstanding for these secured credit facilities. Debt issue costs incurred of approximately $57 million associated with the Secured Credit Facilities were recorded as an asset and are being amortized over the life of the borrowings. As a result of the payment of secured debt in connection with the sale of the Health Group, approximately $19 million of unamortized costs were written off in the second quarter of 2007 to the gain on sale within discontinued operations. The term facilities are no longer available for new borrowings.
Pursuant to the Secured Credit Agreement and associated Security Agreement, each subsidiary organized in the U.S. jointly and severally guarantees the obligations under the Secured Credit Agreement and all other obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries to the Lenders. The guaranty is supported by the pledge of certain U.S. assets of the U.S. Borrower and the Companys U.S. subsidiaries including, but not limited to, receivables, inventory, equipment, deposit accounts, investments, intellectual property, including patents, trademarks and copyrights, and the capital stock of "Material Subsidiaries." Excluded from pledged assets are real property, Principal Properties and equity interests in Restricted Subsidiaries, as defined in the Companys 1988 Indenture.
"Material Subsidiaries" are defined as those subsidiaries with revenues or assets constituting 5 percent or more of the consolidated revenues or assets of the corresponding borrower. "Material Subsidiaries" are determined on an annual basis under the Secured Credit Agreement.
Pursuant to the Secured Credit Agreement and associated Canadian Security Agreement, Eastman Kodak Company and Kodak Graphic Communications Company (KGCC, formerly Creo Americas, Inc.), jointly and severally guarantee the obligations of the Canadian Borrower, to the Lenders. Subsequently, KGCC has been merged into Eastman Kodak Company. Certain assets of the Canadian Borrower in Canada were also pledged, including, but not limited to, receivables, inventory, equipment, deposit accounts, investments, intellectual property, including patents, trademarks and copyrights, and the capital stock of the Canadian Borrower's Material Subsidiaries.
Interest rates for borrowings under the Secured Credit Agreement are dependent on the Companys Long Term Senior Secured Credit Rating. The Secured Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants customary in a facility of this type, including two quarterly financial covenants: (1) a consolidated debt for borrowed money to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) (subject to adjustments to exclude any extraordinary income or losses, as defined by the Secured Credit Agreement, interest income and certain non-cash items of income and expense) ratio on a rolling four-quarter basis of not greater than 3.50 to 1 as of December 31, 2006 and thereafter, and (2) a consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense (subject to adjustments to exclude interest expense not related to borrowed money) ratio, on a rolling four-quarter basis, of no less than 3.00 to 1. As of September 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Secured Credit Agreement.
PAGE 49
In addition, subject to various conditions and exceptions in the Secured Credit Agreement, in the event the Company sells assets for net proceeds totaling $75 million or more in any year, except for proceeds used within 12 months for reinvestments in the business of up to $300 million, proceeds from sales of assets used in the Company's non-digital products and services businesses to prepay or repay debt or pay cash restructuring charges within 12 months from the date of sale of the assets, or proceeds from the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business, the amount in excess of $75 million must be applied to prepay loans under the Secured Credit Agreement.
The Company pays a commitment fee at an annual rate of 37.5 basis points on the undrawn balance of the 5-Year Revolving Credit Facility at the Companys current Senior Secured credit rating of Ba1 and BB from Moody's Investor Services, Inc. (Moody's) and Standard & Poor's Rating Services (S&P), respectively. This fee amounts to $3.75 million annually, and is reported as interest expense in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.
In addition to the 5-Year Revolving Credit Facility, the Company has other committed and uncommitted lines of credit at September 30, 2007 totaling $86 million and $484 million, respectively. These lines primarily support borrowing needs of the Companys subsidiaries, which include term loans, overdraft coverage, letters of credit and revolving credit lines. Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary from country to country, depending on local market conditions. Total outstanding borrowings against these other committed and uncommitted lines of credit at September 30, 2007 were $10 million and $24 million, respectively. These outstanding borrowings are reflected in the short-term borrowings in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at September 30, 2007.
At September 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $143 million and surety bonds in the amount of $85 million primarily to ensure the payment of possible casualty and workers' compensation claims, environmental liabilities, and to support various customs and trade activities.
Debt Shelf Registration and Convertible Securities
On September 5, 2003, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the primary debt shelf registration) for the issuance of up to $2.0 billion of new debt securities. Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act of 1933, $650 million of remaining unsold debt securities under a prior shelf registration statement were included in the primary debt shelf registration, thus giving the Company the ability to issue up to $2.65 billion in public debt. After issuance of $500 million in notes in October 2003, the remaining availability under the primary debt shelf registration was $2.15 billion.
The Company has $575 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2033 (the Convertible Securities) on which interest accrues at the rate of 3.375% per annum and is payable semiannually. The Convertible Securities are unsecured and rank equally with all of the Companys other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Convertible Securities may be converted, at the option of the holders, to shares of the Companys common stock if the Companys Senior Unsecured credit rating assigned to the Convertible Securities by either Moodys or S&P is lower than Ba2 or BB, respectively. At the Company's current Senior Unsecured credit rating, the Convertible Securities may be converted by their holders.
The Company's $1.0 billion 5-year Committed Revolving Credit Facility, along with other committed and uncommitted credit lines, and cash balances, provide the Company with adequate liquidity to meet its working capital and investing needs.
Credit Quality
Moody's and S&P's ratings for the Company, including their outlooks, as of the filing date of this Form 10-Q are as follows:
PAGE 50
Senior | Senior | |||||||
Secured | Corporate | Unsecured | ||||||
Rating | Rating | Rating | Outlook | |||||
Moody's | Ba1 | B1 | B2 | Stable | ||||
S&P | BB | B+ | B | Negative |
On September 11, 2007, Standard & Poor's (S&P) concluded a review on Kodak. The conclusion of this work has resulted in an affirmation of the Company's Corporate Rating at B+, and an unchanged outlook of negative. However, S&P has removed the Company from credit watch, where it had been placed with negative implications on August 2, 2006. The Company's Senior Secured rating has improved two levels to BB.
S&P's ratings reflect their concerns regarding the continued decline in the Company's traditional business, the Company's uncertain profitability and cash flow generation of its digital business, and the potential for additional restructuring charges.
On May 7, 2007, Moodys concluded a review for possible downgrade, which was initiated in May 2006 after the Company announced its intention to explore strategic alternatives for its Health business. As a result, the Companys Corporate and Senior Unsecured ratings were confirmed at B1 and B2, respectively, and the Senior Secured rating, reflecting the remaining 5-Year Revolving Credit Facility, was upgraded from Ba3 to Ba1. The rating outlook was changed from negative to stable.
Moodys ratings reflect their views regarding the Companys significant challenges to replace revenue and cash flow from declining legacy film businesses as well as the Companys market position, operating profit margin and free cash flow volatility, asset returns (net of cash), financial leverage, and liquidity.
The stable rating outlook reflects Moodys expectation that the Company will continue to maintain liquidity and generate earnings sufficient to withstand further secular declines of its legacy film businesses, lack of substantial profitability in certain of its digital businesses and its sizable new business start up costs.
The Company is in compliance with all covenants or other requirements set forth in its credit agreements and indentures. Further, the Company does not have any rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of its debt. However, the Company could be required to increase the dollar amount of its letters of credit or provide other financial support up to an additional $71 million at the current credit ratings. As of the filing date of this Form 10-Q, the Company has not been requested to materially increase its letters of credit or other financial support. Downgrades in the Companys credit rating or disruptions in the capital markets could impact borrowing costs and the nature of its funding alternatives.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company guarantees debt and other obligations of certain customers. The debt and other obligations are primarily due to banks and leasing companies in connection with financing of customers' purchases of product and equipment from the Company. At September 30, 2007, the following customer guarantees were in place:
As of September 30, 2007 | ||||||
Maximum | Amount | |||||
(dollars in millions) | Amount | Outstanding | ||||
Customer amounts due to banks and leasing companies | $ | 151 | $ | 110 | ||
Other third-parties | 2 | | ||||
Total guarantees of customer debt and other obligations | $ | 153 | $ | 110 |
PAGE 51
The guarantees for the third party debt mature between 2007 and 2011. The customer financing agreements and related guarantees typically have a term of 90 days for product and short-term equipment financing arrangements, and up to five years for long-term equipment financing arrangements. These guarantees would require payment from the Company only in the event of default on payment by the respective debtor. In some cases, particularly for guarantees related to equipment financing, the Company has collateral or recourse provisions to recover and sell the equipment to reduce any losses that might be incurred in connection with the guarantees.
Management believes the likelihood is remote that material payments will be required under any of the guarantees disclosed above. With respect to the guarantees that the Company issued in the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company assessed the fair value of its obligation to stand ready to perform under these guarantees by considering the likelihood of occurrence of the specified triggering events or conditions requiring performance as well as other assumptions and factors.
The Company also guarantees debt owed to banks and other third parties for some of its consolidated subsidiaries. The maximum amount guaranteed is $666 million, and the outstanding debt under those guarantees, which is recorded within the short-term borrowings and long-term debt, net of current portion components in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, is $239 million. These guarantees expire in 2007 through 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the Company's $2.7 billion Senior Secured Credit Agreement dated October 18, 2005, obligations under the $2.7 billion Secured Credit Facilities and other obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries to the $2.7 billion Secured Credit Facilities lenders are guaranteed.
The Company issues indemnifications in certain instances when it sells businesses and real estate, and in the ordinary course of business with its customers, suppliers, service providers and business partners. Further, the Company indemnifies its directors and officers who are, or were, serving at the Company's request in such capacities. Historically, costs incurred to settle claims related to these indemnifications have not been material to the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, the fair value of the indemnifications that the Company issued during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was not material to the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other
As of September 30, 2007, there has been no material change in the Company's environmental liability exposure and, therefore, no material change in the undiscounted accrued liabilities for environmental remediation costs relative to December 31, 2006 or September 30, 2006.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
FASB Statement No. 155
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140)." This Statement permits fair value measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement event occurring after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 (year ending December 31, 2007 for the Company). The adoption of SFAS No. 155 in the first quarter of 2007 did not have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
FASB Interpretation No. 48
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on various related matters such as derecognition, classification of interest and penalties, and disclosure. The adoption of FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007 did not have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements. Further information regarding the adoption of FIN 48 is disclosed in Note 6, "Income Taxes."
PAGE 52
FASB Statement No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," which establishes a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Specifically, this Statement sets forth a definition of fair value, and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are generally required to be applied on a prospective basis, except to certain financial instruments accounted for under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," for which the provisions
of SFAS No. 157 should be applied retrospectively. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of 2008.
FASB Statement No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which permits entities to choose to measure, on an item-by-item basis, specified financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are required to be reported in earnings at each reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The provisions of this statement are required to be applied prospectively. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of 2008.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
Certain statements in this report may be forward-looking in nature, or "forward-looking statements" as defined in the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For example, references to the Company's expectations for cash flow, taxes, receivables, guarantees, results of litigation, environmental remediation costs, employment reductions, cost of postretirement benefits, and restructuring costs, charges and savings are forward-looking statements.
Actual results may differ from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. In addition, any forward-looking statements represent the Company's estimates only as of the date they are made, and should not be relied upon as representing the Company's estimates as of any subsequent date. While the Company may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if its estimates change. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties, including the successful:

The forward-looking statements contained in this report are subject to the following additional risk factors:
Any forward-looking statements in this report should be evaluated in light of these important factors and uncertainties.
Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates, which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial position. In seeking to minimize the risks associated with such activities, the Company may enter into derivative contracts.
Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, especially those of the Companys International Treasury Center, and may be used to hedge foreign currency denominated intercompany sales. Silver forward contracts are used to mitigate the Companys risk to fluctuating silver prices.
The Companys exposure to changes in interest rates results from its investing and borrowing activities used to meet its liquidity needs. Long-term debt is generally used to finance long-term investments, while short-term debt is used to meet working capital requirements. The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of open foreign currency forward contracts using available forward rates, if the U.S. dollar had been 10% stronger at September 30, 2007 and 2006, the fair value of open forward contracts would have decreased $59 million and increased $22 million, respectively. Such gains or losses would be substantially offset by losses or gains from the revaluation or settlement of the underlying positions hedged.
Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of open silver forward contracts using available forward prices, if available forward silver prices had been 10% lower at September 30, 2007, the fair value of open forward contracts would have decreased $5 million. Such losses in fair value, if realized, would be offset by lower costs of manufacturing silver-containing products. There were no open forward contracts hedging silver at September 30, 2006.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its borrowing activities and, to a lesser extent, through investments in marketable securities. The Company may utilize borrowings to fund its working capital and investment needs. The majority of short-term and long-term borrowings are in fixed-rate instruments. There is inherent roll-over risk for borrowings and marketable securities as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements.
PAGE 54
Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings, if available market interest rates had been 10% (about 57 basis points) higher at September 30, 2007, the fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings would have decreased $1 million and $55 million, respectively. Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings, if available market interest rates had been 10% (about 68 basis points) higher at September 30, 2006, the fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings would have decreased less than $1 million and $63 million, respectively.
The Companys financial instrument counterparties are high-quality investment or commercial banks with significant experience with such instruments. The Company manages exposure to counterparty credit risk by requiring specific minimum credit standards and diversification of counterparties. The Company has procedures to monitor the credit exposure amounts. The maximum credit exposure at September 30, 2007 was not significant to the Company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Companys management, with participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
During March 2005, the Company was contacted by members of the Division of Enforcement of the SEC concerning the announced restatement of the Company's financial statements for the full year and quarters of 2003 and the first three unaudited quarters of 2004. An informal inquiry by the staff of the SEC into the substance of that restatement is continuing. The Company continues to fully cooperate with this inquiry, and the staff has indicated that the inquiry should not be construed as an indication by the SEC or its staff that any violations of law have occurred.
The Company is one of several Potentially Responsible Parties named in connection with the closure of the LWD, Inc. site; a former permitted hazardous waste treatment facility in Calvert City, Kentucky. The Company has entered into a Consent Order with the EPA based upon evidence that the Company sent waste to the facility for incineration. The Companys expected cost in connection with this matter is estimated to be $150,000, of which the Company has paid $87,200.
