Consolidated revenue in the fiscal year ended March
2007 rose by 4.3% year on year to ¥2,782.5 billion
($23,580 million), despite lower revenues in the
Imaging Solutions segment, mainly in color films and
digital minilabs. Revenues rose significantly in the
Information Solutions segment, buoyed in particular by
medical products and services, CTP (computer-to-plate)
plates and flat panel display (FPD) materials. Revenues
also rose in the Document Solutions segment, where
healthy sales were recorded for digital multifunction
devices, mainly overseas. A weaker yen against the
U.S. dollar and euro also boosted revenue.
We achieved operating income of ¥113.0 billion ($958
million), a large increase of 60.5% year on year, the
result mainly of higher sales volume and a reduction in
fixed costs yielded by progress with structural reforms.
These factors offset increased costs caused by soaring
prices for such principal raw materials as silver and
aluminum, and ¥94.1 billion in expenses associated
with the concentrated implementation of structural
reforms centered on the Imaging Solutions segment
and the Group-wide “Slim & Strong Drive” cost-
reform program initiated in the second half of the
fiscal year ended March 2007. Income before income
taxes also increased by 29.7% to ¥103.2 billion ($875
million), despite the negative impact of the decline in
value of investment securities as part of structural
reforms. Due to an increase in income taxes, net
income decreased by 6.9% to ¥34.4 billion ($291
million).
During the last two fiscal years, we implemented
fundamental structural reforms targeting mainly the
Imaging Solutions segment. Specifically, in the
photosensitive materials field, which includes color
films, we conducted a reorganization of our tripolar
global manufacturing system made up of facilities in
Japan, Europe and the U.S., as well as streamlining
the workforce and rigorously cutting expenses in sales
and distribution. Other actions in this business
included slashing R&D investment and consolidating
photofinishing labs. These structural reforms
progressed largely as planned and were completed by
the end of March 2007. We are confident that they
have yielded a business structure capable of generating

stable earnings into the future by optimizing business
systems so they can adapt to changes in market size.
Fujifilm has positioned medical systems and life sciences,
graphic arts, documents, optical devices, and highly
functional materials (FPD materials, electronic materials,
and inkjet materials) as priority business fields. We are
pursuing growth strategies in these areas through
proactive M&A initiatives, capital investments and R&D
investments. In addition, we are carrying out research
and development towards accelerating the creation of
new businesses and products that will play a leading
role in the future. At the core of this research are the
FUJIFILM Advanced Research Laboratories, established
in April 2006.
The Fujifilm Group moved to a holding company
structure on October 1, 2006. Since then, we have
been operating with a new Group management
structure centered on FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation,
under which there are two major operating companies:
FUJIFILM Corporation and Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. FUJIFILM
Holdings Corporation is responsible for the overall
management of the Group. At the same time, we also
revamped the corporate governance system for Group
management—the Board of Directors of FUJIFILM
Holdings Corporation comprises directors selected
from both FUJIFILM Corporation and Fuji Xerox Co.,
Ltd. This marks our first appointment of an outside
director, a move which will further enhance manage-
ment transparency.
In February 2007, in order to boost strategic collabo-
ration and create concrete synergies among these
three companies, we concentrated their head office
functions at Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi, Tokyo.
Moreover, seizing the opportunity of the move to a new
management structure, we launched a “Slim & Strong
Drive” aiming to create a more brawny, more robust
company. The main thrust of this drive is to achieve the
utmost efficiency of and better prioritize the use of
manufacturing costs, selling, general and administrative
(SG&A) expenses, and R&D expenses. This ongoing
drive targets all organizations in the Group.
In this letter I have discussed our progress with our
medium-term management plan, VISION75 (2006). We
have made satisfactory progress so far, and I believe
that we have built a corporate structure which will
facilitate growth in the future.
But to realize our “Second Foundation” by making full
use of this structure to drive forward the strategies
contained in VISION75 (2006) and ensure future
growth, we have relaunched our plan as VISION75
(2007). The new plan targets the key issues of
promoting growth strategies and creating a robust
corporate constitution. While boosting investment in
priority businesses, we will also implement, through
the “Slim & Strong Drive,” speedy and decisive
measures to reduce manufacturing costs and SG&A
expenses, and to streamline and strengthen the
functions of administrative departments through the
greater use of shared services. Through these efforts,
we aim to bring about a sharp performance
improvement in operating income in the fiscal year
ending March 2008 and achieve a record result of
¥200 billion. The goal for the fiscal year ending March
2010, the final year of the medium-term management
plan, is operating income of ¥250 billion or more.
We also aim to use the timing of this sharp perfor-
mance improvement to return the higher earnings to
our shareholders. Having reviewed such returns, we
have set the target of a 25% return (the total of cash
dividends and share buybacks divided by consolidated
net income) to shareholders applicable to the fiscal
year ending March 2008 and thereafter. We therefore
plan to increase the annual dividend applicable to the
year ending March 2008 by ¥10 to ¥35 per share.
However, the amount will ultimately be determined
based on our performance up until that time.
In conclusion, I would like to express my sincere
appreciation to our stakeholders for their support and
guidance. Please continue to support us as we strive to
achieve our goals.

Fujifilm formulated the VISION75 medium-term management plan in 2004. Under the plan, we have undertaken various measures pivoting on three fundamental strategies—“building new growth strategies,” “implementing comprehensive structural reforms at all management levels,” and “enhancing consolidated management.” In January 2006, as the market environment in which we operate had changed more rapidly than expected, we reformulated the plan as VISION75 (2006). We implemented radical structural reforms in the imaging field and expanded existing growth businesses and new businesses by concentrating our management resources. In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, we will carry out our strategies even more intensively based on VISION75 (2007), a further updated version of the plan. This will enable us to target our “Second Foundation” having secured firm prospects for future growth.

Where VISION75 (2007) is concerned, we will step up investment in priority business fields, based on the themes of “further promoting growth strategies” and “realizing a robust corporate constitution.” In addition, we will swiftly and resolutely promote reductions in manufacturing costs and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses through the “Slim & Strong Drive” as well as measures to share resources, improve efficiency, and reinforce functions in non-operating divisions by bringing about shared services.
The fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, the final year of the medium-term management plan, is a landmark year that will witness the Company’s 75th anniversary. However, we also regard it as a major milestone in our efforts to ensure sustained growth going forward. As we work toward our “Second Foundation,” we will establish a new growth track to achieve our targets of ¥3,150 billion in revenue and more than ¥250 billion in operating income.
■ Medical Systems
Fujifilm Group's Medical Systems Business
The priority business fields we have identified are medical systems / life sciences, graphic arts, documents, optical devices, and highly functional materials—such as flat panel display (FPD) materials, electronic materials, and inkjet materials. By concentrating investment of resources in these fields, we are promoting the sustained development of growth businesses and the cultivation of new businesses.

Fujifilm is expanding sales of systems including imagers,
centered on FCR (Fuji Computed Radiography) digital X-ray
imaging and diagnostic systems, amid the ongoing digitization
of the market. Furthermore, amid the trend toward networks
at medical facilities, we are expanding our network service
business, centered on SYNAPSE, a medical-use picture archiving
and communications system (PACS) for which demand is
growing steadily.
In October 2006, Fujifilm acquired all of the issued shares
of Daiichi Radioisotope Laboratories, Ltd. (currently FUJIFILM RI
Pharma Co., Ltd.), a leading manufacturer of radio-
pharmaceuticals. Nuclear medicine examination, which utilizes
radiopharmaceuticals, is a safe examination method that
enables functional and other variations caused by disease in
internal organs to be detected before changes in morphology
occur. It plays a major role in the diagnosis of various brain
diseases, heart diseases, and tumors. Having made Daiichi
Radioisotope Laboratories a subsidiary, we are expanding our
business fields into nuclear medicine diagnostic imaging
pharmaceuticals and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals.
In December 2006, Fujifilm acquired Problem Solving
Concepts, Inc., a provider of cardiology PACSs, through its U.S.
sales subsidiary FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. The
market for cardiology PACSs, which are mainly used in the
diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, is expanding rapidly
owing to increasing use of IT at hospitals, and it is a market
where further growth is expected. Going forward, we will
expand sales of SYNAPSE worldwide to medical institutions
that are seeking to introduce cardiology PACSs and share
imaging information between radiology and cardiology

Review of VISION75 (2006) Medium-term Management Plan
As the digitization of the printing industry advances,
computer-to-plate (CTP) systems—digital printing systems—are
likely to achieve further diffusion and sales growth around the
world. To capture such demand, Fujifilm is strengthening its
quadripolar manufacturing system, comprising facilities in the
U.S., the Netherlands, China and Japan, and promoting a sales
organization that is closely linked to markets. In the Chinese
market, where demand is expanding rapidly, a new factory
operated by FUJIFILM Printing Plate (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., which
became our second pre-sensitized (PS) plate and CTP plate
manufacturing plant in China, entered full-scale operation in
March 2007. In addition to fulfilling demand within China, we
will also make effective use of this plant as a base for exports
to other parts of Asia and elsewhere.
We will continue to reinforce our manufacturing and sales
organization on a global basis. By utilizing the advantages of
our CTP plates, namely, their high sensitivity, high definition,
and suitability for printing, we aim to further expand sales and
gain a 40% share of the global CTP plate market.
Graphic Arts
FUJIFILM Printing Plate (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. entered operation as Fujifilm’s second PS plate and CTP plate manufacturing base in China. In the graphic arts business, we are endeavoring to bolster our worldwide sales capabilities and cost competitiveness by building a quadripolar operating network.

In the field of endoscopy, we are further strengthening the
infrastructure for domestic and overseas sales and services, and
are leveraging such differentiated products as Transnasal
Endoscopes to increase our market share. In March 2007,
FUJINON Corporation signed a strategic agreement with Given
Imaging Ltd. of Israel, the global leader in capsule endoscopy.
The agreement covers the sale of capsule endoscopes, the
supply of components, and research and development relating
to next-generation endoscope systems. Based on this alliance,
we are further reinforcing our competitiveness in the field of
gastrointestinal endoscopy and further cementing our leading
position in technology aimed at the next generation.
In September 2006, Fujifilm entered the healthcare field by
launching functional cosmetics and internal care products.
We possess a broad spectrum of core technologies
accumulated over many years of research and development of
photosensitive materials. These technologies play a vital part in
people’s lives, and we have effectively applied them and
commercialized them in the healthcare field.
Fujifilm has developed “Rapid SNPs Diagnostics System”
that examines single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which
determine personal physical differences. By 2008, we aim to
commercialize a compact, fully automatic rapid processing
system that can be used for Point of Care Tests (POCTs), which
will be required at medical facilities in the future.
Furthermore, since March 2007 we have been jointly
developing a revolutionary drug delivery system that controls
the sustained release of anti-cancer drugs with Cangen
Biotechnologies, Inc., a U.S. biotechnology venture.

Growth Strategies
In the camera phone lens segment, sales of megapixel lens
units are growing steadily in tandem with the diffusion of
camera phones and the development of higher-performance
products. In response, we are strengthening our market
position by expanding production capacity mainly at our
Shenzen and Tianjin factories. Moreover, as increasingly high
resolution cameras are developed, aspherical lenses are
required. Being very difficult to manufacture, such lenses have
offered an opportunity for our technological capabilities to
gain further distinction in the market. We intend to achieve
greater differentiation through such value-added functions as
autofocus and zoom and thereby boost our market share.
In addition, we will start full-scale supply of security
camera lenses, for which demand is projected to grow,
leveraging our ability to provide high-specification, high-
performance products at low prices. Our aim is to establish a
new position in this market.
Amid legislative trends such as the forthcoming Japanese
version of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, companies are taking
vigorous steps to develop and operate internal control systems.
This is leading to increasing demands for the conversion of
paper documents into an electronic form and for integrated
management of information. Viewing these as growth
opportunities, we develop software and services to meet such
needs and have established dedicated sales teams to provide
full-fledged support. By these means, we have accelerated the
expansion of our office services business.
In Asia-Pacific region including China, where market
growth is expected, we will make maximum use of the sales
infrastructure we have established and enhanced so far as we
endeavor to further increase our share of the color multi-
function device market.
Print-on-demand is a field that we expect to develop
substantially based on cooperation between FUJIFILM Corpo-
ration and Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. Fuji Xerox has secured the top
position in the on-demand output field. By adding FUJIFILM’s
expertise regarding color printing and digital image processing
technologies, we will further solidify this leading position.

Synergies Between FUJIFILM Corporation and Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. in Print-on-demand Field
Underpinned by burgeoning demand for liquid-crystal displays
(LCDs), including LCD televisions, FUJITAC, which is
indispensable in LCDs, and WV Film, which enables wider
viewing angles, have achieved steady sales growth. The Group
is actively boosting production capacity in anticipation of
further growth in demand.
In October 2006, we launched operations at FUJIFILM
Kyushu Co., Ltd.’s first FUJITAC plant. We plan to follow up
this move by bringing a second plant online in August 2007
and a third plant in April 2008.

Recently, Fujifilm’s highly functional materials technology has
increasingly come into its own in semiconductor manufacturing
processes, where finer design rules and multilayering are key
trends. Accordingly, we are strengthening our global manu-
facturing and sales network to further expand this business.
In 2006, we newly developed the FAiRS-9000 series of
photoresists for ArF immersion lithography processes
compatible with the 45-nanometer generation. This series of
photoresists has earned market accolades and is distinctive in
facilitating immersion exposure processes requiring no top coat.
Going forward, we will strengthen contacts with leading-edge
semiconductor manufacturers, and we aim to acquire top
market share in photoresists used in state-of-the-art
semiconductor devices, centered on the recently developed 45-
nanometer generation. We will also establish a market position
in the field of new semiconductor materials, such as CMP slurry
and ultra Low-k, where strong growth is projected. In color
resists for image sensors, a market in which we have already
established the leading share, we will continue to maintain our
lead by being first to launch products that cater to the finer
design rules for semiconductor devices.
■ Inkjet Materials
In the consumer and industrial inkjet business, demand is
continuing to expand. Fujifilm is growing its operations by
aggressively engaging in M&As involving marking technology
in the key printer head and ink-related fields. We acquired
U.S.-based Dimatix, Inc. in the fiscal year ended March 2007.
Cutting-edge Process Road Map for Semiconductors
Major Inkjet Materials-related M&As
In addition, we have decided to build a new plant
(scheduled to commence operations in April 2008) that will
conduct R&D relating to FPD materials at the Ashigara site of
the Kanagawa Factory. The new plant will develop and
produce ultra-wide FUJITAC that will enable it to respond to
the trend toward larger LCD panels by efficiently
manufacturing materials for LCD televisions with 40-inch and
larger screens.
In addition to those mentioned above, we will step up
marketing of products with features that utilize our unique
technologies. These products include CV Film, which is highly
effective in preventing reflection from the surface of panels. In
addition, we are increasing sales of such color filter materials
as Color Mosaic and Transer Film.

● Reorganization of Tripolar Global Manufacturing System
Fujifilm previously emphasized local production in its
manufacturing system for photosensitive materials such as
color films. Based on this emphasis, we maintained a tripolar
global system, with facilities in Japan, the U.S., and Europe.
However, as demand for photographic color films declined
rapidly, fixed costs for large-scale manufacturing facilities put
pressure on profits. Therefore, we attempted to optimize
production capacity on a worldwide level, which included the
termination of some coating lines, and we also reduced the
number of employees in various manufacturing divisions.
● Optimization of Selling Expenses and R&D Investment
In sales divisions, we streamlined the workforce and rigorously
cut selling expenses. We also minimized R&D investment in
areas other than digital camera printing-related and thereby
substantially reduced investment. Furthermore, in the
photofinishing field, we consolidated photo-processing
laboratories on a global level, and through our alliance with
Noritsu Koki Co., Ltd., we have been efficiently developing
high-performance digital minilabs and promoting the creation
of an improved, efficient maintenance support system.
In the electronic imaging business field, which includes digital
cameras, we reinforced our feature-rich product lineup, centered
on highly sensitive digital cameras, as well as downsized
domestic production and established a mass-production system
in China. In addition, we thoroughly cut costs and reduced total
inventories by strengthening supply chain management.
Although features such as the ability to detect faces and
high sensitivity received market acclaim, the business environ-
ment remained challenging. In this context, we will channel
resources into developing high-quality digital cameras with
features that enable users to take better photos, and reform our
business promotion systems in manufacturing, sales, and
research.

5,000 personnel by the end of March 2007.
On the other hand, the effects of cost cutting through
structural reforms appeared earlier than we had initially
projected. We believe that the effects amounted to just over
¥40 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. In the
fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, the extent of the effects
will increase. We estimate they will reach just over ¥55 billion,
including the effects from the “Slim & Strong Drive.”

Fujifilm Group’s Head Office Functions Concentrated in Tokyo Midtown
On October 1, 2006, the Fujifilm Group moved to a holding
company structure and became a new consolidated group
organization centered on FUJIFILM Corporation and Fuji Xerox
Co., Ltd. under FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, which plays a
supervisory role in the management of the entire Group. As
FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation will oversee strategic planning
for the entire Group, it will allocate resources by emphasizing
overall optimization. At the same time, the new structure will
promote an increase in areas of synergy among Group
companies, personnel exchange within the Group, and
improved efficiency by consolidating common operations.
In February 2007, we concentrated the head office
functions of these three companies in Tokyo Midtown, located
in Roppongi, Tokyo. Through this move, we aim to promote
further strategic collaboration and realize concrete synergies
among the three companies.
Sharing the knowledge and human resources cultivated by the three companies so
far will enable us to further enhance the quality and speed of management and
produce more advanced synergies. Those are the major aims of concentrating head
office functions. When establishing offices, the Fujifilm Group makes maximum use
of the solutions skills and IT technologies associated with office creation that it has
built up. We are promoting strategic Group management by facilitating
communication among the three companies and improving operating efficiency by
integrating office services common to all three.
Furthermore, as a new information distribution base relating to “photo culture,” we
opened FUJIFILM SQUARE, our first showroom complex on the first and second floors of
the Tokyo Midtown Head Office. This showroom presents the beauty and value of
photos in a number of ways and contributes to maintaining and developing photo
culture. For example, it includes photo exhibitions in two photo galleries with different
individual characteristics, an exhibition of Fujifilm’s treasured collections, such as antique
cameras and photos that have historical value, and a photo shop that demonstrates the
pleasures of decorating one’s home with photos.

Strategies in the VISION75 (2007) Medium-term Management Plan
Realizing a Robust Corporate Constitutionthrough the “Slim & Strong Drive”
Fujifilm plans to spend ¥200 billion for capital expenditures in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 and ¥550 billion during the three-
year period until March 31, 2010. We also plan to spend ¥200 billion on R&D in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 and a total of
¥600 billion to ¥700 billion over the same three-year period. In addition, we will continue to carry out M&A aggressively and further
expand growth.
Realizing a Robust Corporate Constitution
As we explained in the review of VISION75 (2006) (page13),
we are currently implementing the “Slim & Strong Drive”
targeting all organizations in the Fujifilm Group. These
activities promote thorough improvements in efficiency and the
prioritized use of manufacturing costs, selling, general and
administrative expenses, and R&D expenses, and aim to realize
a stronger and more robust corporate constitution.
Through these activities, we will reform our corporate
culture itself by strengthening the individuals and organizations
that support the enterprise and build the foundation of a
robust company. At the same time, by promoting greater
efficiency and strength in all kinds of business processes, we
aim to realize a robust corporate constitution.
One target of these activities is to improve the ratio of
selling, general and administrative expenses to sales to around
20% to 25% in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, the
final year of the VISION75 medium-term management plan. In
addition, we will intensify efforts to reduce manufacturing
costs and improve the efficiency of R&D at factories and
research centers.
In a specific measure to this end, we established a Group
shared services company in July 2007. In addition, we are
realizing economies of scale by pursuing Groupwide
optimization of distribution and purchasing activities, and we
are promoting cost reductions and the more efficient use of
expenditure.
Concentration of Common Administrative and HR Service-related Operations Common in Fujifilm Group
Establishment of Shared Services Company
In July 2007, we established FUJIFILM Business Expert Corporation as a shared services company that integrates the
administrative, human resource (including welfare and benefits), insurance agency, and travel agency functions of Group
companies under the control of FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation.
FUJIFILM Business Expert Corporation will provide shared services in the areas of administration and human resources for
Group companies under the governance of FUJIFILM Holdings. It will rigorously pursue efficiency through the creation of a
leaner company resulting from consolidation of shared operations, the standardization and integration of operational
processes, and the utilization of outsourcing. At the same time, it will strive to enhance service quality and flexibility.
In addition, after the proper steps have been taken, FUJIFILM Business Expert Corporation will expand its operational scope
to include more Group companies that will receive services and to include indirect material purchasing as a shared service.

Reasons for YoY Changes
○Higher color paper sales on market share growth in principal countries
○Lower sales of color films in a shrinking market
○Lower sales of digital cameras due to price competition, mainly in entry-level models
○Decreased sales of digital minilabs as large-scale retail outlets ended a cycle of new installations
Reasons for YoY Changes ○Benefits of higher sales volume for color paper
○Substantial benefits of reduction in fixed costs yielded by structural reforms
○Decrease in structural reform charges (down ¥17.3 billion)
○Rising prices of silver and other main raw materials
Breakdown of Revenue Operating Loss
Year ended March 31
Consolidated revenue in this segment declined 12.2% year on year to ¥605.4 billion, despite higher sales of color paper on the back of increased market share and other factors. The overall decrease was primarily attributable to lower sales of color films and digital minilabs as well as of development services at photo-processing laboratories. The segment posted an operating loss of ¥42.6 billion, mainly due to structural reform charges of ¥60.1 billion. Excluding these charges, pro forma operating income grew considerably to ¥17.5 billion, a large increase of ¥15.8 billion year on year.

FUJIFILM
Annual Report 2007
Demand for printing photos from film is falling as demand
declines for film. However, the uptake of digital cameras is
driving steadily rising business volume for the printing of
digital camera photos.
Responding to this trend, Fujifilm has rolled out various
initiatives to expand “Print at Retail,” a key strategy for the
company. In combination with this, Fujifilm has expanded
the infrastructure supporting the “Print at Retail” strategy,
with the active launch of digital minilabs. Thanks to these
actions, both sales and earnings from color paper and
chemicals were up year on year. Moreover, Fujifilm estimates
that it now commands a global share of around 50% in the
color paper market. In photofinishing equipment, however,
sales were down as large-scale retail outlets ended a cycle
of new installations of digital minilabs.
The global digital camera market continued to grow,
recording total shipments of 81 million units, 21% higher
year on year, according to statistics released by Camera &
Imaging Products Association (CIPA) for the year ended
March 31, 2007. On the other hand, price competition
intensified as differences in basic specifications among
camera manufacturers became blurred.
In this market, the FinePix F31fd, a compact digital
camera boasting a maximum sensitivity of ISO 3200, and
the stylishly slim FinePix Z5fd sold strongly. In addition to
the high sensitivity and high image quality for which Fujifilm
is well known, these digital cameras feature the world's fastest*1 Face Detection technology*2. Despite a rise in
shipments to 6.6 million units, however, sales in electronic
imaging declined overall, the result of persistently stiff price
competition centered on entry-level models.

■Outlook
FinePix F31fd FinePix Z5fd
Performance Overview and Outlook
■Electronic Imaging
In the fiscal year under review, sales of color films declined
in a contracting market. On a more positive note, however,
Fujifilm increased its market share thanks to the success of a
sales strategy that seeks to take advantage of the exit from
the market of competing companies. Moreover, Fujifilm
continued to generate earnings by reducing fixed costs,
raising prices and taking other actions to combat falling
sales volume and soaring prices of silver and other main raw
materials.
In the Imaging field, Fujifilm continues to put in place a
framework capable of consistently generating earnings,
having completed structural reforms initiated in the previous
fiscal year. As it does so, the competitive landscape is
undergoing major change with the withdrawal of
competing companies from the market.
Amid this backdrop, Fujifilm aims to increase the uptake
of “Print at Retail” services, which are defined by the “easy,
beautiful, long lasting” characteristics of the photos
produced. This is part of Fujifilm's ongoing response to
customer demands for making digital camera prints that
don't compromise on picture quality.
Using its alliance with Noritsu Koki Co., Ltd. in product
development and after-sales services, Fujifilm is also
developing a new series of digital minilabs and taking other
actions as it steps up its response to diversifying demand for
photographic prints, with the aim of improving profitability.
Fujifilm expects the digital camera market to grow at a
slightly slower rate in the year ahead, while competition
remains as fierce as ever. In this market environment,
Fujifilm aims to grow sales by bolstering its lineup of
distinctive products and, at the same time, make greater
strides in transitioning to a cost structure that can withstand
intense competition. *1 : Fujifilm research as of February 2007*2 : Advanced Image Intelligence™ technology for automatically detecting faces in a scene is integrated in a unique IC chip. This technology can automatically detect up to 10 faces simultaneously and take a photo within as little as 0.05 seconds. Just point and shoot.

Annual Report 2007
In the medical systems business we are conducting
operations on a global scale in the field of medical image
diagnostics. Flagship products are our FCR (Fuji Computed
Radiography) digital X-ray imaging and diagnostic systems,
which led the world when they were developed in 1981, and
SYNAPSE, a medical-use picture archiving and communications
system (PACS) for managing images from various modalities
in radiology departments over a network. In this market, the
development of medical networks, particularly in Japan, the
U.S. and Europe, is driving increasing digitization of testing
and diagnostic information.
In the year ended March 31, 2007, we recorded
continued robust growth in sales of FCR, dry films and other
equipment and materials. A highlight of the fiscal year under
review came in July 2006 when our FCR mammography
system, which is effective in the early detection of breast
cancer, became the first CR system in the world to receive
premarket approval (PMA) from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration. The start of sales in the U.S. following this
approval contributed to the higher FCR sales. SYNAPSE also
saw higher sales, mainly in Japan, the U.S. and Europe.
In digital endoscopes, we leveraged distinctive products
such as the Transnasal Endoscope, which substantially
alleviates pain through insertion via the nose, to boost our
market share. This translated into a marked increase in sales
of digital endoscopes.
In October 2006, Daiichi Radioisotope Laboratories, Ltd.
became a consolidated subsidiary. The inclusion of sales
from this company, which was renamed FUJIFILM RI Pharma
Co., Ltd. in April 2007, helped boost sales substantially in
the business as a whole in the fiscal year ended March 31,
2007.
Demand is rising rapidly for computer-to-plate (CTP) systems
for the creation of printing plates as digitization of printing
work advances. These systems allow digital text and image
data to be transferred directly to printing plates, eliminating
the film processing stage. CTPs are now used for around
65% in Japan and for more than 70% of printing in North
America and Europe. Competition is intensifying in this field.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, we stepped up
efforts to increase production capacity at our four bases in
the U.S., the Netherlands, China and Japan and to
strengthen the marketing of CTP plates. In addition, we
launched the processless thermal plates worldwide. A
response to strong requests from the market, this next-
generation CTP system does not require a developer and
developing chemicals, meaning that it has a small
environmental footprint. Consequently, overall revenue in
the graphic arts business increased due to a sharp rise in
sales of CTP plates in Europe, Oceania and India, though the
growing use of CTP systems brought down demand for
graphic arts films.

Annual Report 2007
Expansion in the LCD market continues unabated,
underpinned by firm growth in LCD TVs, LCD monitors and
notebook PCs, for which demand is increasing worldwide. In
addition, panels are increasing in size. For example, the main
size of monitor screens is shifting from 17 inches to 19
inches, with 21-inch screens also increasing in prevalence.
Moreover, an increasing share of LCD TVs is of the 30- to 40-
inch class.
Along with these trends, we are seeing steady
expansion in our business supplying polarizer materials,
which are essential for LCDs. We boast global market shares
of just over 80% for FUJITAC and 100% in WV Film. These
high market shares, coupled with growth in sales of other
value-added films, lifted sales sharply
by 29% year on year. FUJITAC capped
off the year by becoming the first LCD
material in Japan to win Biomass Mark
certification from The Ministry of
Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries;
FUJITAC is made predominantly from
plant-derived cellulose.
Higher capacity and transfer rates of data storage tapes,
which are used to back up and archive data, are increasingly
in demand as the volume of data handled by companies and
government departments increases rapidly in line with the
uptake of broadband.
Despite continuing fierce price competition in mid-range
data storage tapes, sales increased during the year ended
March 31, 2007, centered on mainstay LTO Ultrium 3 data
cartridges. In the high-end enterprise-use field, there was a
steady increase in sales of data cartridge products used for
the IBM TotalStorage® Enterprise Tape Drive 3592. Further
sales growth is being driven by the start of shipments of the
world’s first 700GB IBM System Storage 3592 Extended Data
High-capacity Tape Cartridge for enterprise-grade systems
and the FUJIFILM DLTtape® S4 Cartridge for the mid-range
field.
In the optical devices field, amid increasing picture quality
and sophistication of camera-equipped mobile phones, sales
of lens units for camera phones grew as we leveraged the
advantage of being able to supply high-specification units
for two-megapixel cameras and above. Furthermore,
FUJIFILM Imaging Colorants Limited, a newly consolidated
subsidiary that supplies inkjet materials for inkjet printers,
contributed to sales.
Made from cellulose triacetate (TAC) material, this film boasts outstanding transparency and surface flatness and smoothness. It is used as a protective film for polarizers in LCDs.
A proprietary product with WV, meaning wide view. WV film uses a discotic liquid crystalline compound to dramatically widen the viewing angle of TFT-LCD panels.
An antireflective film for LCD panel surfaces. It employs light dispersion and antireflection technologies to reduce difficulty in seeing images due to outside light, thereby achieving high picture contrast.
A film used to produce color filters for LCDs. A color LCD panel is created by transferring red, green, blue and black color layers from the film to a glass substrate using a world-first technique. It is ideal for manufacturing large LCD panels.

Annual Report 2007
In the Information Solutions segment, guided by our
VISION75 (2007) medium-term management plan, we will
roll out initiatives in every business field so as to better
ensure growth over the medium and long term. This will
include increasing investments in plant and equipment,
conducting more M&As and investing more in R&D. These
investments will be centered on high-growth business fields
such as the FPD materials business.
In the medical systems business, we plan to ensure our
competitiveness by expanding sales of total systems
including imagers, centering on FCR, which has a top market
share. At the same time, we will expand business for medical-
use picture archiving and communications systems, as we
work to engineer a portfolio shift from one led by film to
one in which equipment and systems are the earnings drivers.
FUJINON Corporation, which supplies digital endoscopes, is
also endeavoring to expand sales through an alliance with
Given Imaging Ltd. This alliance will enable FUJINON to add
Given Imaging’s capsule endoscope to its product lineup as
well as generate synergies with FUJINON’s unique Double-
balloon Endoscope System.
In the graphic arts business, we aim to be the No. 1 CTP
plates supplier with a worldwide market share of 40% by
continuing to expand sales, especially of CTP-related
products.
Meanwhile, we plan to make the FPD materials business
a fulcrum of the company. We will do this by leveraging the
strength inherent in possessing production technology for
core material FUJITAC as well as organic synthesis and
precision coating technologies. We will also make substantial
capital investments in this business, constantly improve the
performance of materials, and develop and commercialize
value-added materials to the same end.
In the recording media business, we will use our
proprietary NANOCUBIC technology to develop tape
cartridges that achieve even higher storage capacity. In April
2007, for example, we launched the fourth-generation LTO-
standard products of LTO Ultrium 4 data cartridges. These
new data cartridges have double the storage capacity of the
previous generation. We will continue to provide products
meeting customers need at a high level.
Since September 2006, Fujifilm has
been bringing a number of new
products to the healthcare market,
namely functional cosmetics and
functional foods (supplements). The
foundation for R&D into these
products is provided by proprietary
FTD (Formulation, Targeting and Delivery) technology. Based
on the FTD technology concept of formulating ingredients at
the nanolevel and delivering them to targeted locations in
the body in a stable state, Fujifilm is providing added value in
products that achieve dramatic gains in the absorption of
beneficial ingredients within the human body.
Through many years of R&D in photographic film,
Fujifilm has accumulated a host of outstanding technologies
and sophisticated knowledge. These include nanotechnologies
for breaking down materials into extremely minute sizes and
stabilizing them; technology for controlling free radicals that
allows photographic prints to be preserved for a long time;
and research results relating to collagen, a main constituent
of film. Fujifilm’s know-how concerning emulsification,
including how to use emulsifiers and the formulation of
antioxidants, is also used extensively in establishing FTD
technology.
Fujifilm’s entry into the healthcare field is a high-profile
illustration of moves to increase its presence in growth fields
and to develop new fields through the launch of unique and
competitive products that apply and build on these sorts of
existing core technologies.

Annual Report 2007
The world multifunction device market continues to expand,
driven by growth in color devices. In Japan, amid a maturing
market, new needs are emerging for multifunction devices
to enhance document security and integrate document
management following enforcement of the e-Document Law
and other developments.
To cater to these needs, Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. bolstered its
lineup of color multifunction devices extending from low-
speed to medium- and high-speed models in Japan, centered
on the ApeosPort-II series, which features enhanced network
“gateway” functions. Through these and other actions, Fuji
Xerox estimates that it maintained a top share in terms of
units sold in the domestic color multifunction device market.
Furthermore, exports to Europe and North America of
medium- and high-speed color digital multifunction devices
and high-speed monochrome devices remained strong,
lifting sales volume far in excess of the previous fiscal year.
Sales volume of color products in the Asia-Pacific region
including China was also up sharply.
In Japan, shipments declined as OEM customers cut
inventories, but sales volume of own-brand printers rose,
spurred by the launch of DocuPrint C3050, a color laser
printer. Export sales volume to OEM customers in Europe and
North America grew steadily on the back of a strong market
response to medium-speed monochrome devices in terms of
their performance and price. Furthermore, sales volume of
both color and monochrome devices rose sharply in the Asia-
Pacific region including China.
During the fiscal year under review, sales volume of color on-
demand publishing systems for the growing digital printing
market rose substantially in Japan as well as in the Asia-
Pacific region including China. The production services
business also augmented its product lineup for this market
with the launch of DocuColor 5000 Digital Press, a color
entry-level model, and DocuCentre f1100 GA, a medium-
scale monochrome system boasting high speed and high
definition.
The document outsourcing business recorded another year
of growth, despite lower sales of administration systems for
household registry documents compared with the previous
fiscal year when special demand was seen. Furthermore, as
companies in Japan move into full swing with initiatives to
reinforce internal control, Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. strengthened
solutions-providing capabilities through implementation of
measures such as launching new Apeos PEMaster software
that supports internal control projects and expanding its
services.
Past management reforms have strengthened the Document
Solutions segment in terms of cost competitiveness, deve-
lopment capabilities and sales force. Looking ahead, the aim
is to take a comprehensive approach to build on these
improvements and achieve even higher profitability. Above
all, to achieve stable growth and generate earnings in core
domestic operations, the segment will bolster solution
businesses in the office and commercial printing fields, while
actively implementing measures under the “Slim & Strong
Drive” to improve the cost structure.

Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. has developed technology that physically detects even a single sheet of
paper being taken out of the office, which would ensure the security of paper documents.
This is achieved by embedding extremely thin amorphous magnetic wires, which are finer
than a human hair, in plain paper that can be used in multifunction devices. The wires are
coated with glass, preventing static electricity when used in a copy machine. The
amorphous magnetic wires emit an electric pulse due to application of an oscillating
magnetic field from an excitation coil installed in a separate location. By installing
equipment that detects this pulse at doorways of buildings and offices, it is possible to
keep a record of confidential documents taken outside business premises and also prevent
them from being taken out without authorization by closing security gates. Another
possible application of this technology is to embed the wire in labels affixed to
merchandise to control it being taken out of stores.This technology, could be installed at a
lower cost than IC tags.
Methods of analyzing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) currently in use consist
of extracting DNA from blood or other samples, adding reaction reagents, and analyzing in
instruments. These operations require specialist knowledge and a time frame of several
hours to several days. Fujifilm’s “Rapid SNPs Diagnostics System” uses the most advanced
isothermal amplification of target genes, called SMart Amplification Process (SMAP)*1. This
is the first system that can obtain analyzing results from blood samples using fully
automatic processes at a world-record speed*2 (30 minutes for all processes).
It is constructed from several unique technologies: micro-mechanical technology for
building up micro-channels on plastic substrate, microfluidics technology for controlling
chemical reactions of fluids in fluid channels, and high-sensitivity detection and analytical
technology accumulated in the development of image sensors and other products.
three corporate laboratories possess are being fused with each other at the FUJIFILM Advanced
Research Laboratories. The goal is to promote the establishment of highly distinctive
technologies, especially in the areas of highly functional materials, devices, and systems.
In a recent development, Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. announced plans to open a new integrated
R&D facility in the Minato Mirai 21 district in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. This new
facility will consolidate existing R&D sites currently dispersed across several locations, with the
aim of reinforcing collaboration in R&D functions that transcends the boundaries of
technology fields and strengthening customer contact.

Annual Report 2007
Recognizing that a corporation’s main mission is to increase corporate value, the Company has given top priority to measures aimed at increasing its own corporate value by strengthening and broadening its corporate governance systems. The Company has positioned the board of directors as the body for determining basic Group management policies and strategies, and important matters related to business execution as well as for supervising the execution of business affairs. Meanwhile, the Company established the post of executive officer in 1998 in a bid to achieve greater efficiency and speed in the execution of business affairs as well as to clarify accountability and authority. Under this basic framework and following the change to a holding company structure on October 1, 2006, the Company will further strengthen governance on a consolidated basis, including with respect to Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd., to increase the corporate value of the Fujifilm Group. The Company will also work to further improve the transparency and soundness of Group management.
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation stipulate that the
Company can appoint up to 12 directors. Currently, it has eight
directors, including one outside director. Regular meetings of the
board of directors are held, in principle, once a month, with
extraordinary meetings held as the need arises. Certain matters
are decided as required by directors with special authority. To
make clearer their mission and responsibilities, directors have
been assigned one-year terms in office.
The Company adopted an executive officer system in June 1998.
Under this system, the board of directors is positioned as “the
body for determining basic management policies and strategies,
and important matters related to business execution as well as
for supervising the execution of business affairs,” while executive
officers are responsible for the execution of business affairs in
accordance with the basic policies and strategies adopted by the
board of directors. The Company currently has nine executive
officers, including five executive officers who also serve as
directors, and terms of office are one year, as with directors.
The management council decides whether matters that are to be
exclusively decided by the board of directors should be submitted
to the board of directors or not. It also considers the methods
used by executive officers to implement particularly important
items, in accordance with basic policy, plans and strategies
determined by the board of directors. The management council
is composed of full-time members who are executive officers
ranked senior vice president and above. Meetings of the
management council are flexibly convened, with the attendance
of relevant executive officers requested depending on the
matters concerned.
The Company has adopted a corporate auditor system with a
board of corporate auditors, which currently consists of four
members, two of whom are outside corporate auditors. As an
independent body with key roles and responsibilities in the
Company’s corporate governance system, the auditors audit the
entire range of the directors’ performance of their duties
following audit policies and an audit plan in conformity with
corporate auditors’ audit standards determined by the board of
corporate auditors. At meetings of the board of corporate
auditors, which are held in principle once a month, information is
shared on the details of matters subject to auditing. In addition,
all corporate auditors attend meetings of the board of directors,
while the standing statutory auditors also attend every
management council meeting, regularly exchange opinions with
the representative directors, and audit the entire range of
business execution. The Company has currently assigned two
staff members, who also perform internal audits, to the
corporate auditors, to strengthen the audit functions of the
corporate auditors.
The Company has an Auditor’s Office, which currently comprises
nine personnel, as an internal auditing unit that is independent
from divisions responsible for the execution of business affairs.
This office examines each division’s operational processes and
other items and evaluates and verifies that they are appropriate.
In addition, staff in a specialized unit audit operations in the
environmental and export control fields. The Auditor’s Office also
carries out regular audits of major Group companies in
cooperation with corporate auditors, and it verifies the status of
the establishment and operation of internal control systems. To
enhance internal auditing functions, the Company aims to
increase the number of internal auditing staff and reinforce their
roles.
The Company engages Ernst & Young ShinNihon as its
independent auditor. Ernst & Young ShinNihon expresses an
opinion on the Company’s financial statements from an
independent standpoint as an auditor.

●Major Activities
On October 1, 2006, Teisuke Kitayama assumed office as an
outside director of the Company. He attended 4 of the 6
meetings of the board of directors held in the fiscal year under
review from assumption of office. Mr. Kitayama requested
explanations when necessary and offered advice where
appropriate at the board of directors meetings he attended to
ensure the adequacy and appropriateness of the decisions made
by the board of directors.
Outside corporate auditor Kiichiro Furusawa attended 11 of
the 13 board of directors meetings and 12 of the 13 board of
corporate auditors meetings held during the fiscal year under
review from April 1, 2006. Outside corporate auditor Daisuke
Ogawa was appointed on June 29, 2006. He attended 5 of the 9
board of directors meetings and 6 of the 10 board of corporate
auditors meetings held in the fiscal year under review from the
date of his appointment. Both outside corporate auditors
requested explanations when necessary and commented where
appropriate at the board of directors meetings they attended to
ensure the adequacy and appropriateness of the decisions made
by the board of directors. They also asked questions and
expressed their opinions as appropriate at the board of corporate
auditors meetings they attended.
● Support System for the Outside Director and
Outside Corporate Auditors
The Legal Department, the secretariat for the board of directors,
prepares materials and provides information to the outside
director and outside corporate auditors for proposals submitted
to regularly held meetings of the board of directors. It also
provides supplementary explanations where requested.
The secretariat for the board of corporate auditors (the
Internal Auditing Unit) provides support such as materials and
information concerning details of audits that are used for sharing
information between standing statutory auditors and outside
corporate auditors at regularly held meetings of the board of
corporate auditors.
The Company engages Ernst & Young ShinNihon to perform
accounting audits. Because the Company recognizes that mutual
cooperation between internal auditing, corporate auditors and
the independent auditor in their respective audits leads to
improved corporate governance, the Company works to foster
such cooperation between the three groups. When audits are
planned, performed and reviewed every year, the three groups
hold discussions and exchange information and opinions. In
addition, discussions are held as needed when interim and year-
end audits are carried out. Audits of Group companies are carried
out at the same time by corporate auditors, the Internal Auditing
Unit and the independent auditor and information is exchanged.
Effective and efficient audits are also promoted by maintaining
cooperation such as in attending stocktaking.

FUJIFILM
Annual Report 2007
The Company has formulated the Fujifilm Group Charter for
Good Corporate Behavior as the fundamental principles
regarding compliance in the conduct of the Fujifilm Group’s
business activities. Based on this charter, the Company has
drafted a code of conduct for the Fujifilm Group and is
endeavoring to ensure that their activities and behavior comply
with laws and regulations as well as social ethics. And with the
aim of ensuring the observance of laws and regulations, as
well as to maintain and enhance ethical behavior in all
corporate activities of the Fujifilm Group, the Company has
established a CSR Committee chaired by the Company’s
president. The Company has also established a division that is
responsible exclusively for promoting compliance. Primarily
through this division, the Company is endeavoring to instill and
promote a compliance mindset in the Fujifilm Group as a
whole. The Company has also established offices both inside
and outside the Fujifilm Group to provide advice and receive
communications and reports of infringements related to the
code of conduct and compliance as part of efforts to detect
any illegal or improper behavior quickly and take appropriate
action in response.
Moreover, the Company has formulated rules on reaching
decisions through the use of circular letters, document manage-
ment regulations, rules regarding timely disclosure, regulations
regarding the management of personal information, and other
necessary internal rules. Besides requiring business execution in
accordance with these rules, the Company has formulated
various manuals and guidelines to ensure thorough observance
of laws and regulations relating to business activities and is
endeavoring to ensure thorough awareness of compliance
through regular educational activities.
Regarding risk management, every company in the Fujifilm
Group establishes an adequate risk management system. At
the same time, the CSR Committee, headed by the president,
formulates basic policies and examines and develops
appropriate responses to important risks from the perspective
of the whole Fujifilm Group. Moreover, the Company
formulates rules and guidelines and prepares manuals
regarding various risks related to information management,
safety and hygiene, the environment, and disaster prevention.
As regards information relating to important risks, reports are
made to the secretariat of the CSR Committee in accordance
with prescribed procedures. Internal audits are the responsibility
of the Auditor’s Office, an internal auditing unit that is
independent from divisions responsible for the execution of
business affairs. Ongoing efforts will be made to strengthen
internal auditing.
As a holding company, the Company oversees the
execution of business activities by subsidiaries from the
standpoint of a shareholder as well as efficiently and properly
conducts operations common to the Fujifilm Group in a unified
manner. At the same time, the Company provides direction,
assistance, and supervision relating to the establishment of
systems and implementation of business activities by each
subsidiary and has established a system of reporting by each
subsidiary. In such ways, the Company aims to ensure that
appropriate business operations are conducted in the Group as
a whole.
The Company believes that the ultimate decision on whether or
not to accept a takeover proposal for the Company should be
made by the shareholders of the Company at the time the
takeover proposal is made. In this case, we believe that it is
necessary to adopt fair rules so that shareholders of the
Company can make a duly informed judgment. Based on this
thinking, the Company’s board of directors on March 30, 2007
decided to adopt “Fair Rules for the Acquisition of Substantial
Shareholdings (“Shareholders’ Will Confirmation Type”
Takeover Defense Measure, hereinafter “the Plan”), ”which
sets forth clear and specific procedures that a bidder can follow
to commence a takeover proposal.
The Plan is designed to enable the shareholders at the time
of the takeover proposal is made to make a duly informed
judgment as to whether to accept the bidder’s takeover
proposal based on sufficient information and with reasonable
time period for the Board to consider the takeover proposal

Annual Report 2007
Company’s voting shares complies with the conditions specified
in the Plan (submits the necessary information and waits the
review period), the Company will carry out procedures to
ascertain shareholders’ will to request they make the ultimate
decision at that time whether to issue stock acquisition rights
(the “Rights”) by way of a gratis allotment as a defensive
measure.
If the Company’s board of directors determines the takeover
proposal is in the Company’s and its shareholders’ best interests,
there will be no need to ascertain shareholders’ will. An issuance
of Rights by way of gratis allotment as a countermeasure will
only be made if the result of ascertaining shareholders’ will is
that shareholders approve such an issuance or the bidder has
not followed the procedures required by the Plan.
The Plan is effective for three years from March 30, 2007 and
may be renewed by a resolution of the board of directors,
taking into consideration the views of the outside directors and
the outside corporate auditors of the Company.
*1 : If the Board, based on the required information submitted by the bidder, determines that the bidder’s proposal is in the best interests of Fujifilm and its shareholders, the shareholder vote will not be held, and no Rights will be issued by the way of a gratis allotment.
*2 : The review period will be extended for eight weeks if the Board receives an opinion from an investment bank which states that the offer price is inadequate from a financial perspective. In addition, if the bidder has neither submitted the securities registration statement(s), the securities reports, the semi-annual securities reports and extraordinary reports (including any amendment of each of such statement(s) and reports), each prepared in Japanese, required to submit under the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan (including any law succeeding it) covering the past five years, nor published any documents corresponding thereto in Japanese (excluding any summary in Japanese of such documents which were available only in a foreign language; provided, however, that there is an exception for the foreign securities reports and the foreign semi-annual securities reports under the Securities and Exchange Law) covering the past five years, the review period will be extended for another four weeks.
*3 : The shareholder voting record date will be publicly announced at least two weeks prior to the record date.

The Fujifilm Group is cutting CO2 emissions, one of the so-called
greenhouse gases, by aggressively promoting the use of natural
gas and energy-conservation programs at its plants worldwide.
Combined CO2 emissions of the Group’s six*1 principal
chemical-related factories in Japan account for 60% of the
Group’s CO2 emissions. Furthermore, total CO2 emissions have
increased in line with higher production volume such as in the
growing flat panel display (FPD) materials business. In response,
the Fujifilm Group is stressing measures to cut CO2 emissions,
including converting to natural gas as the fuel source for power
generation units.
The conversion to natural gas began in 2003 and in April
2007 a natural gas co-generation system*2, the fifth at a Fujifilm
Group plant, was installed at FUJIFILM Corporation’s Yoshida-
Minami Factory. In another development, in October 2006,
operations commenced at FUJIFILM Kyushu Co., Ltd.’s No.1
Plant, which uses only natural gas as a fuel source for power
generation units. The introduction of natural gas yielded an
approximate 72,000 ton reduction in CO2 in the year ended
March 31, 2007.
The Fujifilm Group expects emissions to rise in the future as
two Group companies manufacturing FPD materials increase
production volume. That said, the Group plans to cut total CO2
emissions after a projected peak in the year
ending March 31, 2009, by promoting even
greater use of natural gas. In the fiscal year
ending March 31, 2010, the Group aims to
reduce CO2 emissions by 210,000 tons
through the use of natural gas at the above-
mentioned six factories.

The Fujifilm Group is promoting various measures on a Group-wide basis, including environmental initiatives and social contribution activities, with the aim of achieving further “sustainable development.” These efforts are based on the “Fujifilm Group Approach to CSR.”
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Fujifilm Group Approach to CSR The Fujifilm Group Approach to CSR is to contribute to the sustainable development of society by putting into practice the Fujifilm Group’s corporate philosophy, and realizing its vision through sincere and fair business activities.
We will:
1. fulfill our economic and legal responsibilities, and respond to society’s demands by contributing as a corporate citizen to the development of culture and technology in society and environmental preservation.
2. constantly reassess whether our CSR activities are responding adequately to the demands and expectations of society and whether those activities are conducted properly through dialogue with our stakeholders, including customers, shareholders, investors, employees, local communities, and business partners.
3. enhance corporate transparency by actively disclosing information to fulfill our accountability for our business activities.
Based on the “Fujifilm Group Green Policy,” the Fujifilm Group aims to balance the dual goals of caring for the environment
and expanding growing businesses by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, managing chemical substances in compliance with
European laws and regulations, and implementing other environmental initiatives.

In December 2006, FUJIFILM Kyushu Co., Ltd. signed a
partnership agreement with Minamiaso Ehon no Kuni, an
association active in promoting regional cultural advancement
and exchange based on the keyword “ehon” (picture book in
Japanese). Its activities are conducted through tie-ups with
government agencies and corporations, especially those with an
interest in the region. FUJIFILM Kyushu Co., Ltd. supports the
activities of this association, such as the creation of picture books
using photos in Minamiaso, in Kumamoto Prefecture instead of
illustrations.
Furthermore, in February
2007 FUJIFILM Kyushu Co.,
Ltd. inked a tree-planting
agreement for water-shed
protection with Minamiaso
village. Following a decision
to promote tree-planting
activities in the forested area
of the Shirakawa riverhead, an important groundwater recharge
area, company employees planted 300 Japanese wild cherry
blossom trees in March. This was the first tree-planting contract
after the formation of the new village of Minamiaso. Through
this tree-planting, FUJIFILM Kyushu is helping to preserve the
local environment.
FUJIFILM (China) Investment Co., Ltd. is taking part in a

RevenueDuring the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, a decrease in revenue in the Imaging Solutions
segment was outweighed by such positive factors as higher sales volume in the Information
Solutions and Document Solutions segments as well as the beneficial effects of exchange rate
movements. As a result, consolidated revenue increased 4.3%, or ¥115.1 billion, to ¥2,782.5
billion, from ¥2,667.4 billion in the previous fiscal year. Domestic revenue declined 1.9%, to
¥1,303.6 billion, and overseas revenue grew 10.5%, to ¥1,478.9 billion. The effective curren-
cy exchange rates were ¥117=US$1, a ¥4 depreciation of the yen compared with the previ-
ous fiscal year, and ¥149=1 euro, an ¥11 depreciation of the yen.
Operating IncomeSG&A expenses increased 3.4%, or ¥25.0 billion, to ¥760.0 billion, reflecting an increase at
newly consolidated subsidiaries and higher sales in the Asia-Pacific region including China in
the Document Solutions segment. The SG&A expense ratio was 27.3%. R&D expenses
decreased 2.8%, or ¥5.1 billion, to ¥177.0 billion, causing the R&D expense ratio to decline
0.4 of a percentage point, to 6.4%.
Operating income rose 60.5%, or ¥42.6 billion, to ¥113.0 billion, from ¥70.4 billion in the
previous fiscal year. Operating income was adversely affected by higher costs stemming from
a steep rise in major raw materials prices; the posting of expenses associated with structural
reforms that the Group carried out intensively from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to
the fiscal year under review; and the “Slim & Strong Drive” that was initiated in the second
half of the fiscal year under review. However, the negative impact of these factors was
absorbed mainly by an improvement in gross profit resulting from higher sales volume and a
reduction in fixed costs, the more efficient use of expenditure, and the effects of the weaker
yen.
Income Before Income TaxesThe Company posted a nonoperating expense of ¥9.8 billion, compared to nonoperating income
of ¥9.2 billion in the previous fiscal year. The posting of a ¥23.9 billion decline in value of invest-
ment securities had a substantial impact. In addition, reflecting changes in the foreign exchange
settlement account and in the valuation of foreign currency assets at the fiscal year-end, foreign
exchange gains, net decreased ¥0.8 billion, to a gain of ¥6.7 billion. Interest and dividend income
rose ¥3.3 billion, to ¥11.4 billion. Income before income taxes grew 29.7%, or ¥23.6 billion, to
¥103.2 billion.

Net IncomeIncome taxes rose 70.0%, or ¥24.5 billion, to ¥59.5 billion. The effective tax rate rose from
44.0% in the previous fiscal year to 57.7% in the fiscal year under review. The statutory tax
rate for the fiscal year was 40.6%, but the effective rate was increased by such factors as
expenses not deductible for tax purposes. Minority interests, mainly attributed to Fuji Xerox
Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries, decreased ¥0.1 billion, to ¥12.7 billion. Equity in net earnings of
affiliated companies declined ¥1.8 billion, to ¥3.4 billion. Net income decreased 6.9%, or ¥2.6
billion, to ¥34.4 billion, and net income per share declined to ¥67.46, from ¥72.65. In addi-
tion, diluted net income per share was ¥65.04, compared to ¥72.65 in the previous fiscal year.
Imaging SolutionsConsolidated revenue in this segment fell 12.2%, or ¥84.0 billion, to ¥605.4 billion. Sales of
color paper grew on the back of such factors as a rise in market share. However, color film,
development services at photo-processing laboratories, and digital minilab sales fell, resulting
in the overall decline in sales. The segment operating loss contracted 43.7%, or ¥33.1 billion,
to ¥42.6 billion. Although the Company continued to implement structural reforms, as in the
previous fiscal year, the increase in share of the color paper market had a substantial positive
impact.
Information SolutionsConsolidated revenue in this segment rose 17.0%, or ¥148.8 billion, to ¥1,026.1 billion.
Revenue increased mainly due to robust sales of SYNAPSE medical-use picture archiving and
communications systems, endoscopes, CTP plates, and flat panel display materials, while sales
at consolidated subsidiaries acquired in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31,
2006 and the third quarter of fiscal year under review also made a contribution. Segment
operating income increased 20.4%, or ¥16.1 billion, to ¥95.2 billion. Despite such negative
factors as a steep rise in the price of the main raw materials such as silver and aluminum and
the posting of ¥17.3 billion in structural reform expenses, positive contributions came from
higher sales of such major products as medical systems products, CTP plates, and flat panel
display materials as well as the streamlining of manufacturing facilities.
Document SolutionsConsolidated revenue in this segment grew 4.6%, or ¥50.3 billion, to ¥1,151.0 billion. This
growth mainly reflected strong exports of digital color multifunction devices for office use to
North America and Europe as well as robust sales in the Asia-Pacific region including China.
Segment operating income fell 8.7%, or ¥5.8 billion, to ¥61.2 billion, chiefly reflecting
expenses posted as part of the ”Slim & Strong Drive.”

Research & Development ActivitiesTo provide new solutions that match user needs in the imaging, information, and document
fields, the Fujifilm Group is working to further develop and utilize the unique technologies
and know-how it has cultivated in the photographic film field while also proactively conduct-
ing R&D related to new digital and networking technologies.
In April 2006, we established the FUJIFILM Advanced Research Laboratories, with the aim
of developing products and technologies that will support the Group’s future growth.
Through collaboration among researchers from different fields, these facilities will strongly
promote the creation of differentiated technologies. In addition, Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd., which is
responsible for the Document Solutions segment, decided to establish an R&D base at Minato
Mirai 21 in Yokohama. By concentrating its R&D facilities, which were previously dispersed,
Fuji Xerox aims to align functions more closely regardless of business field, shorten develop-
ment lead times and enhance efficiency.
During the fiscal year under review, R&D expenses declined 2.8%, or ¥5.1 billion, to
¥177.0 billion, and the ratio of R&D expenses to revenue fell 0.4 of a percentage point, to
6.4%. By business segment, R&D expenses amounted to ¥21.5 billion in Imaging Solutions,
down 34.1%; ¥77.0 billion in Information Solutions, up 13.3%; and ¥78.5 billion in
Document Solutions, down 3.8%

Assets, Liabilities, and Shareholders’ EquityTotal assets at the end of the fiscal year amounted to ¥3,319.1 billion, up ¥291.7 billion, or
9.6%, from the previous fiscal year-end. Total liabilities rose ¥286.2 billion, or 30.3%, to
¥1,230.6 billion, while shareholders’ equity increased ¥13.0 billion, or 0.7%, to ¥1,976.5 bil-
lion. As a result, the liquidity ratio rose 13.0 percentage points, to 202.9%, the debt ratio
increased 14.2 percentage points, to 62.3%, and the equity ratio dropped 5.4 percentage
points, to 59.5%.
Capital Expenditures and DepreciationCapital expenditures during the fiscal year declined 8.1%, or ¥14.6 billion, to ¥165.2 billion.
In the field of flat panel display materials, Fujifilm proceeded with the construction of new
plants to boost production capacity at FUJIFILM Kyushu Co., Ltd., a major manufacturing
base. In addition, the Company started building a new plant with R&D functions at the
Ashigara site of the Kanagawa Factory.
Total depreciation (excluding intangible fixed assets and depreciation of rental equipment
in the Document Solutions segment) declined 6.8%, or ¥10.5 billion, to ¥146.4 billion.
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ¥297.3 billion, an increase of ¥24.7 billion.
During the fiscal year under review, although there were factors that reduced cash, such as a
decrease in impairment losses for long-lived assets and goodwill and a decline in depreciation
and amortization, cash was boosted by such factors as a decline in value of investment securities
and increase in notes and accounts payable—trade.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled ¥298.0 billion, an increase of ¥25.9 billion. Primary
applications of cash included ¥172.6 billion for purchases of property, plant and equipment,
¥146.9 billion for purchases of marketable and investment securities and other investments, and
¥20.5 billion for purchases of software. These items were offset in part by ¥109.1 billion in pro-
ceeds from sales and maturities of marketable and investment securities and other investments.
In addition, ¥45.7 billion was used for acquisitions of businesses and minority interests, net of
cash acquired.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled ¥158.3 billion, up ¥238.6 billion. An increase
in proceeds from long-term debt and an increase in short-term debt, net were the main inflows
during the fiscal year under review. Cash dividends paid by the parent company amounted to
¥12.8 billion, approximately the same as in the previous fiscal year.
As a result of these factors and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equiva-
lents, cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fiscal year under review amounted to ¥384.7
billion, up ¥166.1 billion from the previous fiscal year-end.

Fujifilm’s basic policy regarding the distribution of profits is to provide shareholders with sta-
ble dividends as well as to maintain sufficient internal reserves to strengthen the manage-
ment foundation, permitting it to support an aggressive expansion of business while being
prepared for sudden changes in the business environment.
In line with this basic policy, the Company has set cash dividends applicable to the fiscal
year at ¥25 per share.
Fujifilm has intensively carried out structural reforms and growth strategies in line with the
VISION75 medium-term management plan. Consequently, we estimate that consolidated
operating income will reach a record high of ¥200 billion in the fiscal year ending March 31,
2008. Taking advantage of the opportunity provided by this sharp improvement in business
performance, as we intend to proactively return growing profits to shareholders, we have
decided to revise our basic policy on the distribution of dividends to shareholders from the fis-
cal year ending March 31, 2008 onward. Details of the new policy are as follows.
Basic Policy on the Distribution of Profits to Shareholders
In addition to reflecting consolidated performance trends, dividend levels are to be deter-
mined based on consideration of such factors as the level of cash required for capital and
R&D investments needed to support future business expansion as well as other measures
aimed at increasing the Company’s corporate value in the future. As a means of supplement-
ing dividends, the Company will also flexibly move to employ surplus cash flow to buy back
shares in a manner that contributes to greater capital efficiency. Considering the current time
as a period of “Second Foundation,” the Company is intensively implementing capital invest-
ments, M&A transactions, and R&D investments in its priority business fields. In view of this
situation, the Company has targeted a return to shareholders ratio of 25%, which represents
the ratio of total of cash dividends and share buybacks to consolidated net income.
The following types of risk have the potential for affecting the Fujifilm Group’s financial con-
dition and business performance. Text referring to the future is written from the perspective
of the end of the fiscal year under review.
(1) Impact of Economic and Exchange Rate Trends on PerformanceFujifilm provides products and services in diverse markets throughout the world, and the
share of consolidated sales accounted for by overseas sales was approximately 53% in the fis-
cal year under review. There is a possibility that performance will be greatly affected by eco-
nomic conditions throughout the world and particularly by currency exchange rates.
To reduce the impact of currency exchange rates on performance, Fujifilm undertakes
hedging measures, primarily using forward exchange contracts for the U.S. dollar and the
euro, but currency exchange fluctuations, depending on their degree, still could have an
impact on performance.
(2) Competition in MarketsFujifilm provides diverse digital-related products and services—including digital cameras and
other consumer products as well as such commercial-use products as those for medical,
graphic arts, and office applications—and, in recent years, the rising and broadening use of
digital and networking technologies has led to a sustained rise in the share of digital products
and services. In these business fields, although business volume is expanding, the intensifica-
tion of competition with electronic equipment manufacturers and other companies is leading
to falls in the selling prices of products during short periods of time and is also shortening
product life cycles. By affecting sales, increasing R&D costs, and exerting other effects, these
trends have the potential for reducing profitability. In the future, Fujifilm will continually work
to develop products incorporating new technologies and to support the sales of such prod-
ucts with marketing activities, and the success or failure of these activities is expected to have
an influence on performance.

(3) Patents and Other Intellectual PropertyFujifilm has diverse patents, know-how, and other intellectual property that enable competi-
tive benefits, but such future events as the expiration of patents and emergence of replace-
ment technologies may make it difficult to maintain competitive superiority.
In the wide range of business fields with which Fujifilm is associated, there are numerous
companies with sophisticated and complex technologies, and the number of these technolo-
gies is rising rapidly. Developing Fujifilm’s business operations sometimes may require the use
of other companies’ patents, know-how, and other intellectual property, and when negotia-
tions for the use of such intellectual property are not successful there is a potential for perfor-
mance to be affected. In addition, Fujifilm is developing its business while constantly taking
care not to infringe on the intellectual property of other companies, but it must be recog-
nized that in reality it is difficult to completely eliminate the risk of becoming involved with lit-
igation. If Fujifilm becomes involved with litigation, not only litigation costs would arise but
also the potential for compensatory payment costs that could have an influence on perfor-
mance.
(4) Public RegulationsIn the regions where Fujifilm is developing its operations, diverse government regulations
exist that apply to Fujifilm’s operations, such as business and investment permits as well as
limits and regulations related to imports and exports. Moreover, Fujifilm is subject to commer-
cial, fair trade, patent, consumer protection, tax, foreign exchange administration, environ-
mental, and other laws and regulations.
If Fujifilm were not to strictly comply with one of these laws or regulations, it could be sub-
ject to fines. Moreover, it is possible that these laws and regulations might be tightened or
greatly changed, and in such cases it is impossible to deny the possibility that Fujifilm’s activi-
ties could be limited or that Fujifilm might have to bear greater costs to attain compliance or
respond to the changes. Accordingly, these laws and regulations have the potential for
affecting Fujifilm’s performance.
(5) Manufacturing OperationsAs Fujifilm engages in manufacturing operations throughout the world, it is possible that pro-
vision of Fujifilm’s products could be halted by earthquakes or other natural disasters, the dis-
continuation of the manufacture of raw materials and components, the bankruptcy of
suppliers, terrorist activities, wars, labor strikes, major disease outbreaks, and other factors
that cause disorder. It is also possible that a rapid rise in the price of raw materials could
affect Fujifilm’s performance.
Fujifilm manufactures its products in conformance with rigorous quality control standards,
but the possibility of defective products does exist. If Fujifilm were to have to respond to such
an event by undertaking product recalls or other actions, Fujifilm’s performance might be
affected.
(6) Structural ReformsFujifilm is proceeding with structural reform measures that involve the manufacturing, mar-
keting, and service activities of Group companies and mergers of Group companies, and it
intends to continue such measures with the goal of striving to increase management efficien-
cy. Depending on the degree of progress in structural reforms, it is possible that Fujifilm
might bear additional costs that would affect its performance.

FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) is engaged in imaging, information and documentsolutions. “Imaging Solutions” develops, manufactures, markets and services color films, digital cam-eras, photofinishing equipment, color paper, chemicals and services for photofinishing and related prod-ucts. “Information Solutions” develops, manufactures, markets and services equipment and materialsfor medical systems and life sciences, equipment and materials for graphic arts, flat panel display materi-als, recording media, optical devices, electronic materials, inkjet materials and related products.“Document Solutions” develops, manufactures, markets and services office copy machines/multifunc-tion devices, printers, production systems and services, paper, consumables, office services and otherrelated products and services. The Company and its subsidiaries operate throughout the world, generat-ing approximately 53% of its worldwide revenue outside Japan, predominantly in North America,Europe and Asia. The Company’s principal manufacturing operations are located in Japan, the UnitedStates of America, Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore and China.
On October 1, 2006, for the purpose of establishing a new group management structure and aimingtoward new growth strategies, Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. moved to a holding company structure andchanged its name to “FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation.” The former business of Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.was transferred to the newly created operating company “FUJIFILM Corporation.”
The Company and its domestic subsidiaries maintain their records and prepare their financial statementsin accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan. The Company’s foreign sub-sidiaries maintain their records and prepare their financial statements in conformity with the conventionsof their countries of domicile. Certain reclassifications and adjustments have been incorporated in theaccompanying consolidated financial statements to conform them to accounting principles generallyaccepted in the United States of America. These adjustments have not been recorded in the Company’sor subsidiaries’ statutory books of account.
Significant accounting policies, after reflecting the adjustments referred to above, are summarized asfollows:
Principles of Consolidation and Accounting for Investments in AffiliatedCompaniesThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all entities that theCompany directly or indirectly controls. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts havebeen eliminated.
The Company’s investments in affiliated companies (20% to 50% owned companies), in whichthe ability to exercise significant influence exists, are accounted for by the equity method.Consolidated net income includes the Company’s equity in the current net earnings or losses of suchcompanies after the elimination of unrealized intercompany profits.
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally acceptedin the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions thataffect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant itemssubject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of trade receivables, inventories,and deferred income tax assets, the valuation and determination of useful lives and depreciation oramortization method for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, and assumptionsrelated to the estimation of actuarial determined employee benefit obligations. Actual results coulddiffer from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translations The Company’s foreign subsidiaries generally use the local currency as their functional currency.Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into the reporting currency using exchange rates ineffect at the balance sheet date and income and expenses are translated using average exchangerates prevailing during the year. Adjustments resulting from this translation process are accumulatedin other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasuredinto the functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the respective balance sheet dates withthe resulting gains or losses included in operations.

Annual Report 2007

Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash and thathave original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Marketable Securities and Investment SecuritiesThe Company has designated their marketable securities and investment securities as available-for-sale, which are carried at their fair value with changes in unrealized gains or losses reported in othercomprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes. The Company records an impairment chargeto earnings when a decline in value of the marketable security is deemed to be other-than-tempo-rary. In determining whether such a decline is other-than-temporary, the Company evaluates variousfactors including the length of time, the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, thefinancial condition and near-term prospects of the investee as well as the Company’s intent andability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow any expected recovery in fairvalue. The cost of securities sold is based on the moving-average-cost method. Dividends on avail-able-for-sale securities are included in “Interest and dividend income” in the accompanying consoli-dated statements of income.
Allowance for Doubtful ReceivablesAllowances for doubtful trade, finance and other receivables are determined based on a combina-tion of historical experience, aging analysis and any specific factors affecting customer accounts.
InventoriesInventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined principally by themoving-average method. Periodically, the Company reviews inventories for obsolete, slow-movingor excess amounts and if required, provides an allowance to recognize their estimated net realizablevalues.
Property, Plant and Equipment and DepreciationProperty, plant and equipment is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation computed primarily bythe declining-balance method and, for certain foreign subsidiaries, by the straight-line method.Estimated useful lives for buildings are primarily 15 to 50 years and for machinery and equipment are 2to 15 years.
Machinery and equipment includes machines rented to customers under operating leases with acost and accumulated depreciation of ¥99,256 million ($841,153 thousand) and ¥70,950 million($601,271 thousand) as of March 31, 2007 and ¥88,471 million and ¥57,063 million as of March 31,2006, respectively.
Goodwill and Other Intangible AssetsGoodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired.Other intangible assets principally consist of costs allocated to technology-based intangibles, cus-tomer-related intangibles and long-term product supply agreements.
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“SFAS”) No.142 “Goodwill and OtherIntangible Assets,” goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets are tested annually, as ofJanuary 1, for impairment. Impairment tests for goodwill are performed based on the present valueof estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit. The discount rate used is based on the report-ing unit’s weighted average cost of capital. In addition to the annual impairment test, an interimtest for goodwill impairment would be performed if events occur or circumstances indicate that thecarrying value may not be recoverable. Intangible assets other than those with an indefinite life areamortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Capitalized Software Costs The Company capitalizes certain software development costs in accordance with Statement of Position98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.” TheCompany also follows accounting guidelines as specified in SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs ofComputer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Capitalized costs are amortized on astraight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the software of 3 to 5 years. Total capitalized soft-ware costs and accumulated amortization amounted to ¥170,272 million ($1,442,983 thousand) and¥82,373 million ($698,076 thousand), respectively, as of March 31, 2007 and ¥162,126 million and¥66,889 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2006. Capitalized software costs to be sold and accu-mulated amortization, included in the above, amounted to ¥30,695 million ($260,127 thousand) and¥17,827 million ($151,076 thousand), respectively, as of March 31, 2007 and ¥26,094 million and¥14,505 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2006. Capitalized software costs are included in otherassets.
Impairment of Long-lived AssetsThe Company reviews long-lived assets, excluding goodwill and other intangible assets not beingamortized, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carry-ing amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If an evaluation is required, the estimatedfuture undiscounted cash flows associated with the assets would be compared to the assets’ carry-ing amount to determine if a writedown is required. If this evaluation indicates that the assets willnot be recoverable, the carrying value of the assets would be reduced to their estimated fair value.In determining the fair value, the Company uses quoted market prices in active markets or other val-uation methods, if quoted market prices are unavailable, primarily based on the estimated discount-ed future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition.
Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are evaluated at the lower of carrying amount or fairvalue less cost to sell.
Revenue RecognitionThe Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company consid-ers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement,the products or services have been provided to customers, the sales price is fixed or determinable,and collectibility is reasonably assured.
The above conditions are generally met when products are delivered to customers for productsales, services are performed or at the inception of leases for revenue from sales-type leases. Interestincome on sales-type leases is recognized using the effective interest method with the allocationbased on the net investment in outstanding leases and is included in revenue. Rentals from operat-ing leases are recognized as earned over the respective lease terms.
Costs incurred by the Company in connection with sales incentives related to purchase or promo-tion of the Company’s products are classified as reduction of revenue in accordance with EmergingIssues Task Force (“EITF”) 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer(Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products).” Such costs include the estimated cost of promotion-al discount, dealer price protection, dealer volume rebates and cash discounts. These costs are main-ly based on claims from customers/dealers or amount calculated in accordance with agreements.
The Company sells certain products and services under bundled contract agreements which con-tain multiple deliverable elements as defined in EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with MultipleDeliverables.” The Company has recognized revenue from the sale of such products upon deliveryand acceptance by customers and such services upon customers’ usage.

Product WarrantiesThe Company provides product warranties for certain of its products. These warranties generallyextend for periods of one year from the date of sale. A liability for expected warranty costs andadditional service actions is accrued at the time that the related revenue is recognized. In estimatingthe warranty liability, historical experience is considered.
Shipping and Handling CostsShipping and handling costs of ¥75,232 million ($637,559 thousand), ¥67,676 million and ¥60,511million for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are included in selling,general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
Advertising CostsAdvertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrativeexpenses. Advertising expenses amounted to ¥34,928 million ($296,000 thousand), ¥39,380 millionand ¥47,561 million for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Income TaxesIncome taxes have been provided using the liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109,“Accounting for Income Taxes.”
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financialreporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax ratesand laws which will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowanceis recognized to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is considered more likely than notto be realized.
Consumption TaxesRevenues, costs and expenses on the consolidated statements of income do not include consump-tion taxes.
Derivative Financial InstrumentsThe Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, cross cur-rency interest rate swaps, forward foreign exchange contracts, and currency swaps in the consoli-dated financial statements at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding theinstrument. Generally, changes in fair values of derivatives accounted for as fair value hedges arerecorded in income along with the portions of the changes in the fair values of the hedged itemsthat relate to the hedged risks. Changes in fair values of derivatives accounted for as cash flowhedges, to the extent they are effective as hedges, are recorded in other comprehensive income(loss), net of deferred taxes. Changes in fair values of derivatives, which are not designated or quali-fied as hedges, are reported in income.
Net Income per ShareThe amounts of basic net income per share are based on the weighted average number of shares ofcommon stock outstanding during the year.
Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution and has been computed on the basisthat all conversion rights of the Euroyen convertible bonds were exercised and outstanding.
ReclassificationCertain reclassifications to prior years’ consolidated financial statements and related footnoteamounts have been made to conform with the presentation in the current year.

New Accounting StandardsIn June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognitionthreshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. Italso provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interimperiods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,2006 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the year beginning April 1, 2007. The adop-tion of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations and the finan-cial condition of the Company.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS157 defines fair value, establishes a market-based framework for measuring fair value, and expandsdisclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning afterNovember 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the year beginning April 1,2008. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the resultsof operations and the financial condition of the Company.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined BenefitPension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires the recognition of thefunded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans in the balance sheet andthe recognition in other comprehensive income (loss) of actuarial gains or losses, prior service costsor credits, and transition assets or obligations. These requirements of SFAS 158 were effective forthe fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006 and were adopted by the Company in the year end-ing March 31, 2007. The incremental effects of adopting SFAS 158 on the accompanying consoli-dated financial statements at March 31, 2007 and for the year then ended are disclosed in Note 10“Pension and Severance Plans”.
In addition, SFAS 158 requires plan assets and benefit obligations to be measured as of the dateof the fiscal year-end. This requirement of SFAS 158 is effective for fiscal years ending afterDecember 15, 2008 and is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations andthe financial condition of the Company as the Company already uses a measurement date of March31 for the majority of its plans.
In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets andFinancial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Unrealizedgains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earn-ings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning afterNovember 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the year beginning April 1,2008. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on the resultsof operations and the financial condition of the Company.
Solely for the convenience of the reader and as a matter of arithmetical computation only, the 2007amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been translated from Japanese yen into U.S.dollars at the rate of ¥118 = U.S.$1.00, the exchange rate prevailing on March 31, 2007. The trans-lation should not be construed as a representation that Japanese yen could be converted into U.S.dollars at this or any other rate.

During the year ended March 31, 2006, certain domestic subsidiaries combined their definedbenefit pension plans with their other defined benefit plans and merged into the Company’s existingdefined benefit plan and defined contribution plan. Under this restructuring of pension and sever-ance plans, the projected benefit obligation decreased by ¥10,916 million, attributable to benefitpayments, and increased by ¥237 million for the plan amendment, which was treated as unrecog-nized prior service cost. In addition, plan amendments were made for certain other subsidiaries,which increased projected benefit obligations by ¥199 million.
Certain of its domestic subsidiaries in the Document Solutions segment had a defined benefitpension plan, which had been funded in conformity with the requirements of the Welfare PensionInsurance Law of Japan. The pension plan consisted of two portions: a governmental welfare con-tributory portion (which would otherwise be provided by the Japanese government) and an addi-tional non-contributory defined benefit portion. In January 2004, the subsidiaries obtained the finalapproval from the Japanese government to be relieved of all past benefit obligations related to thegovernmental welfare component, or substitutional portion, of the plans and completed the transferof the plan assets equivalent to the substitutional portion to the government in August 2004.
In accordance with the consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-2, “Accounting for the Transfer to theJapanese Government of the Substitutional Portion of Employee Pension Fund Liabilities,” for theyear ended March 31, 2005, the Company recognized a settlement loss of ¥76,401 million and alsorecognized a reduction in net periodic pension cost related to derecognition of previously accruedsalary progression of ¥29,014 million, both of which are included in selling, general and administra-tive expenses. In addition, the Company recognized a subsidy from the government of ¥83,129 mil-lion representing the difference between the obligation settled and the assets transferred to thegovernment.
Most foreign subsidiaries have various retirement plans, primarily defined contribution plans, cov-ering substantially all of their employees. The funding policy for such defined contribution plans is tocontribute annually an amount equal to a certain percentage of the participant’s annual salary.
The aggregate cost charged to income for the Company’s domestic and foreign defined contribu-tion plans discussed above amounted to ¥7,297 million ($61,839 thousand), ¥7,036 million, and¥5,938 million for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The Company uses a measurement date of March 31 for the majority of its plans.On March 31, 2007, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS
158. SFAS 158 required the Company to recognize the funded status (i.e., the difference betweenthe fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligations) of its defined benefit pension plans in theMarch 31, 2007 consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated othercomprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The adjustment to accumulated other comprehensiveincome (loss) at adoption represents the net actuarial loss, prior service credit, and net transitionobligation, all of which were previously netted against the plans’ funded status in the consolidatedbalance sheet pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 87.
The incremental effects of adopting SFAS 158 on the accompanying consolidated balance sheetat March 31, 2007 are summarized as follows. The adoption of SFAS 158 had no effect on theaccompanying consolidated statement of income for the year ended March 31, 2007.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on the long-term expected return ofthe plans’ asset allocations and an evaluation of the historical behavior of the Company’s portfolio.
Plan AssetsThe Company’s actual weighted-average assets allocations for defined benefit pension plans atMarch 31, 2007 and 2006, by asset category are as follows:
Asset Category 2007 2006

Total 100% 100%
Target allocations of plan assets for equity securities, debt securities and general accounts of lifeinsurance companies are 43%, 40% and 15%, respectively.
The Company’s investment policy for defined benefit plans is designated to provide the planswith sufficient assets to meet future benefit payment requirements. The Company monitors assetallocation periodically and adjusts asset allocation, if necessary in order to meet the target asset allo-cation. The Company’s investment policy pursues diversified investments and prohibits speculativeinvestments.

At March 31, 2007, certain subsidiaries had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax pur-poses of ¥68,058 million ($576,763 thousand), of which ¥11,903 million ($100,873 thousand) willbe carried forward indefinitely and ¥56,155 million ($475,890 thousand) will expire through 2027.These net operating loss carryforwards are available to offset future taxable income of the sub-sidiaries.
The Company has not recognized deferred tax liabilities for a portion of undistributed earnings offoreign subsidiaries in the Document Solution segment, because such earnings have been perma-nently reinvested. Deferred tax liabilities will be recognized when the Company expects that it willrealize those undistributed earnings in a taxable manner, such as through receipt of dividends orsale of the investments. Deferred income taxes have also not been provided on undistributed earn-ings of its domestic subsidiaries as such earnings, if distributed in the form of dividends, are not tax-able under present tax laws.
The Corporation Law of Japan (the “Law”) provides that an amount equal to 10% of the amount tobe disbursed as a distribution of earnings be appropriated to the additional paid-in capital or legalreserve.
The Law also provides to the extent that if the sum of the additional paid-in capital account andthe legal reserve account exceed 25% of the common stock account, then the amount of the excess(if any) is available for appropriations by resolution of the shareholders.
Retained earnings available for dividends under the Law are based on the amount presented inthe Company’s non-consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance withaccounting principles and practices generally accepted in Japan. Under the Law, the amount ofretained earnings available for dividends as of March 31, 2007 amounted to ¥1,470,737 million($12,463,873 thousand).
The appropriation of retained earnings for the year ended March 31, 2007 has been reflected inthe consolidated financial statements, including for the amount approved at the general sharehold-ers’ meeting held on June 28, 2007.
Takeover Defense MeasureThe Company has announced on March 30, 2007 that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) hasadopted Fair Rules for Acquisition of Substantial Shareholdings (“Shareholders’ Will ConfirmationType” Takeover Defense Measure) (the “Plan”). Under the plan, a bidder who proposes to acquire15% or more of the Company’s voting shares is required to provide the Company with certainrequired information, and a time period that enables the Board to review will be determined. If theBoard determines that the takeover proposal would not preserve and enhance corporate value andthe common interests of shareholders of the Company, the Company will take procedures to ascer-tain the shareholders’ view. The stock acquisition rights will be issued by the way of a gratis allot-ment in either of the following circumstances: (i) the shareholders have approved the issuance ofthe stock acquisition rights or (ii) the bidder has not followed the procedures required by the Plan.Since the Company is not issuing the stock acquisition rights at the time of the adoption of thisPlan, this Plan will have no particular direct impact on the rights and interests of the shareholders. If

a shareholder holding the stock acquisition rights does not exercise such rights, such shareholder’sownership will be diluted due to the exercise of the stock acquisition rights by other shareholders.The Stock acquisition rights held by the bidder will not be exercisable. The term of the Plan shall bethree years from March 30, 2007, the Plan implementation date, and the renewal of the term of thePlan shall be made by a resolution of the Board.

Purchase Commitments, Other Commitments and ContingenciesCommitments outstanding at March 31, 2007, principally for the construction and purchase ofproperty, plant and equipment, amounted to ¥62,937 million ($533,364 thousand). At March 31,2007, the Company was contingently liable for discounted notes receivable on a full recourse basiswith banks of ¥7,796 million ($66,068 thousand).
Due to the nature of its business, the Company is subject to various threatened or filed legalactions and regulatory investigations. In the opinion of management, the Company has providedthe necessary accruals, if any, for environmental remediation, litigation and regulatory investiga-tions, for which occurrence of future events is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonablyestimated. At March 2007, the Company received Statement of Objections from the EuropeanCommission relating to the investigations into alleged practices of the Company and certain of itssubsidiaries in the professional videotape industry. Since the Statement of Objection is a preparatorydocument that does not prejudge the European Commission’s final decision, the amount of the ulti-mate exposure, if any, cannot be determined at this time. The Company, based upon the advice ofexternal counsel, does not expect the final outcome of the above-mentioned matters to have amaterial adverse effect on the financial position and operating results of the Company.

The Company operates internationally, and is exposed to market risks arising from fluctuations in for-eign currencies, interest rates and certain commodity prices. The Company and certain of its sub-sidiaries utilize derivative financial instruments solely to reduce these risks. The Company has policiesand procedures for risk management and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative finan-cial instruments. The Company’s policies prohibit holding or issuing derivative financial instrumentsfor trading purposes. The following is a summary of the Company’s risk management strategies andthe effect of these strategies on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Hedging StrategyUnder certain circumstances, certain subsidiaries of the Company may enter into cross currencyinterest rate swaps for interest rate exposure and/or foreign currency exchange rate exposure man-agement purposes. The cross currency interest rate swaps generally modify their exposure effectivelyto interest rate risk and/or foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the underlying debtobligation by converting the underlying debt amounts in exchange for floating rate interest pay-ments over the life of the agreements. There were no outstanding fair value hedge transactions asof March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006.
Cash Flow Hedging StrategyCertain subsidiaries of the Company have entered into forward currency exchange contracts to pro-tect against the increase or decrease in value of forecasted intercompany purchases or export salesdenominated in foreign currencies over the next year (maximum length of time is through May2007). If the yen weakens significantly against foreign currencies (primarily the U.S. dollar), theincrease in the value of future foreign currency cost or revenue is offset by gains or losses in thevalue of the forward exchange contract designated as a hedge. Conversely, if the yen strengthens,the decrease in the value of future foreign currency cash flow is offset by gains or losses in the valueof the forward contracts designated as a hedge.
Changes in the fair value of those derivative instruments designated and qualifying as cash flowhedges of variability of cash flows are reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applica-ble taxes. These amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period and same line item as thehedged items that affect earnings. The amount of gains or losses on derivatives or portions thereofthat were either ineffective as hedges or excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness werenot material to the financial position or operating results of the Company.
As of March 31, 2007, the Company expects to reclassify ¥12 million ($102 thousand) of netgains on derivatives from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings during thenext twelve months due to actual export sales and import purchases and the payment of the under-lying debt.

Derivatives Not Designated as HedgesDerivatives not designated as hedges include certain interest rate swaps, cross currency interest rateswaps, and forward currency exchange contracts which have been entered into by the Companyand certain of its subsidiaries. Although these derivatives are effective as hedges from an economicperspective, the Company did not designate these contracts as hedges as required in order to applyhedge accounting. As a result, the Company reported the changes in the fair value of these deriva-tives in the statement of income in the line titled “Other, net” in other income (expenses).
Concentration of Credit RiskFinancial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of creditrisk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, investments, trade and finance accounts receiv-able, and derivatives.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with variousfinancial institutions. These financial institutions are located throughout Japan and the Company’spolicy is designed to limit exposure to any one institution. The Company performs periodic evalua-tions of relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’sinvestment strategy.
Concentration of credit risk associated with trade receivables is limited due to the Company’slarge customer base, maintenance of customers’ guarantee deposits and the Company’s perfor-mance of ongoing credit evaluations. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a levelwhich management believes is sufficient to cover potential losses.
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to deriv-ative instruments. The Company limits this exposure by acquiring such derivative instruments fromcounterparties with high credit ratings.
Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined using available market infor-mation or other appropriate valuation methodologies. Although management uses its best judg-ment in estimating the fair value of such instruments, the methodologies and assumptions for theestimate of fair value are inherently subjective. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarilyindicative of the amounts which could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.The following methodologies and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fairvalue of its financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents, Notes and accounts receivable, Short-term debt, Notes andaccounts payable: The carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheets approximate fairvalue because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Marketable securities and Investment securities: The fair value of current and noncurrentmarketable securities is estimated based on quoted market prices. The fair value of nonmar-ketable debt securities with variable rates approximates their carrying amounts.
Customers’ guarantee deposits: The carrying amounts approximate fair value becausethey are variable rate instruments.
Long-term debt: The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using discounted cash flowanalysis based on the current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowingarrangements. The fair value of long-term debt, including the current portion, as of March31, 2007 and 2006 was ¥78,772 million ($667,559 thousand) and ¥104,058 million, respec-tively. The fair value as of March 31, 2007 did not include the fair value of the Euroyen con-vertible bonds issued on April 5, 2006 with a carrying value of ¥201,474 million becausethere was no quoted market price and it was not practicable to estimate the fair value.
Derivative financial instruments: The fair values of forward currency exchange contracts,interest rate swaps, currency swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps are estimated onthe basis of the market prices of derivative financial instruments with similar contract condi-tions or obtained from brokers. The fair value and the carrying amounts of these derivativeassets were ¥531 million ($4,500 thousand) and ¥536 million, and those of derivative liabili-ties were ¥3,745 million ($31,737 thousand) and ¥781 million, as of March 31, 2007 and2006, respectively.

There were no significant contingentpayments, options or commitments related to those acquisitions. Each acquisition that qualified as abusiness combination has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accor-dance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and the excess of the purchase price over theestimated fair value of net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill, which is primarily taxnon-deductible.

The results of operations for the acquired entities since the date of the acquisitions have beenincluded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Pro forma results of operations havenot been presented for any of the acquisitions because the results of operations related to the enti-ties acquired were not significant to the operating results of the Company on either an individual oran aggregate annual basis.

These impairments mainlyresulted from the reduced earnings forecast of future operations for the Imaging Solutions segmentas mentioned above. During the year ended March 31, 2007, the business environment in theImaging Solutions segment was worse than anticipated in the previous year. As a result, impairmentcharges of ¥12,202 million ($103,407 thousand) were recognized for certain manufacturing facili-ties and amortizable intangibles such as customer lists. The fair values of respective long-lived assetsor asset group were determined based on estimated discounted future net cash flows using theupdated earnings forecast.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors and ShareholdersFUJIFILM Holdings Corporation(Formerly, Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (formerly, Fuji Photo Film Co.,Ltd.) and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in sharehold-ers’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2007, all expressed in Japanese yen.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards requirethat we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of materialmisstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our auditsincluded consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controlover financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidencesupporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant esti-mates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide areasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial positionof FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation and subsidiaries at March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operationsand their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States.
