Item 8.01. Other Events.

On February 22, 2007, Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. (“FX”), an unconsolidated entity of which Registrant owns 25% and FUJIFILM Holdings owns 75%, informed Registrant that it plans to record restructuring charges in its fiscal fourth-quarter 2006 as part of FX’s continued cost-reduction actions to improve productivity and its competitive position. Registrant accounts for its share of FX on an equity basis. While Registrant is reaffirming its full-year 2007 guidance of $1.12 to $1.16, it is revising its first-quarter guidance to $0.18 to $0.20 to reflect its 25% after-tax share of the FX-related restructuring charge of $0.03.

We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

In accordance with the provisions of the Litigation Reform Act, we are making investors aware that such forward-looking statements, because they relate to future events, are by their very nature subject to many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, any exhibits to this Current Report and other public statements we make.
