*Overview


- In the third quarter of fiscal 2003, ended December 31, 2002, consolidated net sales increased by 4.8% as compared to the previous corresponding period, to ¥420.7 billion. The increase would have been 3.1% after factoring out the impact of foreign exchange.


- Domestic sales were off 0.8%. Sales of the printing systems such as networkable MFPs (multifunctional printers) and laser printers, improved especially on the strength of demand for color models. Offsetting these gains was lower demand for stand-alone analog products amid the shift to digital offerings and sluggish information technology demand in Japan that dampened sales growth in personal computers and servers.


- Overseas sales increased by 11.1%, as demand remained favorable for core printing systems and other products in all regions. Excluding the foreign exchange effect, overseas sales would have increased by 7.4%.


- Operating income increased by 12.3%. This owed mainly to increased sales of such high-value-added offerings as MFPs and color printers. On top of that, new products were popular, while Ricoh continued its cost-cutting drive, allowing the Company to absorb the expenses of restructuring efforts at subsidiaries and affiliates. Ricoh also benefited from a lower yen. The Company endeavored to lower total other expenses by reducing interest expense in line with decrease on borrowings, thus compensating for higher foreign exchange losses and decreases in interest and dividend income because of adverse conditions in financial markets. Income before income taxes, minority interests and equity in earnings of affiliates thus increased by 15.9%.


- As the result of these factors, net income increased by 19.5% as compared to the previous corresponding period.


*Financial Position


- The Ricoh Group is pursuing an ongoing drive to improve revenues, earnings, and free cash flow to reinforce its financial position.


- At the end of the third quarter, net cash provided by operating activities was ¥112.1 billion, up ¥78.4 billion from the previous corresponding period. This was due primarily to higher net income and increased depreciation and amortization.


- Net cash used in investing activities was ¥76.6 billion, mainly because of higher spending on facilities for new manufacturing lines or product development, and securities investments.


- As a result of the above factors, free cash flow totaled ¥35.4 billion.


- Ricoh again strove during the period to switch from short-term loans to long-term indebtedness while slashing interest-bearing debt. Net cash used in financing activities, including cash dividends paid, was ¥26.2 billion. As the end of the third quarter, cash and cash equivalents were ¥7.3 billion higher year on year, at ¥177.5 billion.


- At the start of fiscal 2003, Ricoh has included short-term investment securities, which are always available-for-sale, such as MMF (Money Management Funds), in cash equivalents. The effects of this change were as follows.

*Consolidated Sales by Category


Imaging Solutions (sales down 9.1%, to ¥208.3 billion)

*Digital Imaging Solutions (sales down 6.5%, to ¥151.4 billion)

In core digital PPCs, the Company strengthened everything in its lineup from low-end models to high-speed machines. Sales growth rose, particularly for the strategically focused products, Imagio Neo C240/C320 series. Domestic sales were down, however, amid sluggish demand. Overseas, sales were lower than in the previous corresponding period despite the inroads made by PPCs and MFPs and orders from large accounts.


*Other Imaging Solutions (sales down 15.5%, to ¥56.8 billion)

The sales decreased stemmed from the continued shift away from analog PPCs to digital models and MFPs.


Network Input/Output Systems (sales up 41.1%, to ¥117.4 billion)

*Printing Systems (sales up 45.9%, to ¥102.9 billion)

In Japan and internationally, the Company further augmented its lineup of fast, networkable, and color models, expanding sales of printing equipment to meet customer requirements. During the third quarter, the Company increased sales of MFPs and laser printers, notably color offerings.


*Other Input/Output Systems (sales up 14.4%, to ¥14.4 billion)

This business benefited from strong exports of DVD drives and media based on new standards.


Network System Solutions (sales down 11.1%, to ¥40.0 billion)

Ricoh continued to strengthen its useware, document management, and other solutions businesses to lower customers’ total costs of ownership while enhancing performance. The sales decline stemmed from reduced purchases of personal computers and servers owing to corporate constrains on information technology spending.


Other Businesses (sales up 25.4%, to ¥54.9 billion)

The recovery of the semiconductor business and steady gains in leasing and other operations offset lower sales of metering equipment.



-6-





* Consolidated Sales by Geographic Area


Japan (sales down 0.8%, to ¥210.1 billion)

Demand for traditional analog offerings remained low amid the stagnant domestic economy. Still, Ricoh continued to build sales in new areas through customer-focused product and sales strategies. As part of these efforts, the Company strengthened its capabilities in the printing systems such as MFPs and printers and in its solutions business, which encompasses useware and document management. Overall sales were slightly down, however, in keeping with the shift away from analog equipment toward MFPs and color models and sluggish demand for personal computers and servers.


The Americas (sales up 1.9%, to ¥84.1 billion)

The Company further improved its sales network, especially in North America, while expanding sales of such new printing systems as MFPs and printers. On top of that, sales were solid for DVD drives and media based on new standards.


Europe (sales up 13.5%, to ¥88.3 billion)

Overall performance was strong on the back of new printing systems, notably MFPs and printers.


Others (sales up 30.4%, to ¥37.9 billion)

Sales in China, the rest of Asia, and other regions benefited from the shift to digital, networkable, and color systems.



-7-





*Segment Information


Business Segment


Office Equipment

In Japan and overseas, sales of high-value-added MFPs and laser printers were increased, especially on color systems. With the contribution of ongoing efforts to reduce manufacturing costs and lower yen impact, sales and operating income increased.


Other Businesses

While results in the metering equipment business deteriorated, semiconductor demand turned around and leasing and other operations performed favorably. Both sales and operating income in this segment were increased as compared to the previous corresponding period.



-8-





Geographic Segment


Japan

Exports of such high-value-added offerings as MFPs and laser printers drove gains in office equipment, helping boost overall sales in that business area despite a decline in Japan. Operating income remained flat, as Ricoh increased overseas production under its policy of optimally locating manufacturing operations closer to customer markets and because of the lower sales in Japan.


The Americas

Despite intense competition, sales of highly profitable printing systems were increased, particularly for strategic MFPs and laser printers. Both regional sales and operating income improved as compared to the previous corresponding period.


Europe

The Company continued to do well, increasing sales of MFPs and laser printers, while maintaining high productivity rates at local plants, causing overall sales and operating income to improve.


Others

Sales remained strong in China and elsewhere in Asia and Oceania in line with the shift to MFPs and other digital equipment. In addition, higher production in China helped increase regional sales and operating income.



-9-





(2) Expectations


A sluggish domestic economy and the yen's recent appreciation has prompted management to lower the fiscal 2003 net sales forecast it announced in October 2002, from ¥1,750.0 billion, to ¥1,738.0 billion. On the positive side, earnings in the third quarter were solidly above expectations, and Ricoh anticipates further income improvements. Management has thus increased its operating income forecast from the ¥134.0 billion, to ¥138.0 billion. Income before income taxes, minority interests and equity in earnings of affiliates is forecasted to reach ¥125.1 billion, compared with the previous forecast of ¥121.5 billion. Similarly, net income is forecasted ¥73.2 billion, against the earlier estimate of ¥71.0 billion.


Exchange Rate Assumptions for the three month ended March 31, 2003

US$ 1 = ¥118.00 (¥132.50 in the previous corresponding period)

EURO 1 = ¥125.00 (¥116.21 in the previous corresponding period)


Exchange Rate Assumptions for the full year ended March 31, 2003

US$ 1 = ¥121.70 (¥125.10 in previous fiscal year)

EURO 1 = ¥120.37 (¥110.60 in previous fiscal year)

6. Significant Accounting Policies (Consolidated)

1. Items relating to the scale of consolidation and the application of the equity method

Consolidated subsidiaries:

3 additions including Ricoh Logistics Corporation

2 removals including Finnoffice

Companies accounted for by the equity method: (No change)



2. Consolidated Accounting Policies (Summary)

(1) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ricoh. Investments in 20% to 50% owned companies are accounted for on the equity basis. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(2) Securities

Ricoh conforms with SFAS No.115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which requires certain investments in debt and equity securities to be classified as either held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of related taxes, excluded from earnings and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The cost of the securities sold was computed based on the average cost of each security held at the time of sale.

(3) Inventories

Inventories are mainly stated at the lower of average cost or market. Inventory costs include raw materials, labor and manufacturing overheads.

(4) Plant and Equipment

Depreciation of plant and equipment is computed principally by using the declining-balance method over the estimated useful lives. Most of the foreign subsidiaries have adopted the straight-line method for computing depreciation.

Certain leased buildings, machinery and equipment are accounted for as capital leases in conformity with SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases."

(5) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In conformity with SFAS No.142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." goodwill and certain other intangible assets that are determined to have indefinite life are not amortized. SFAS No. 142 requires to test for impairment at least annually.

(6) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Effective from April 1, 2002, Ricoh changed its policy for definition of cash and cash equivalents on its consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flow. Cash and cash equivalents formerly included cash, negotiable certificates of deposit, time deposits with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase and so on. In addition to the above, Ricoh decided to include short-term investment securities into cash equivalents which are available-for-sale at any time and present insignificant risk of changes in value, such as Money Management Funds and Free Financial Funds. Ricoh believes this change to disclose a financial status more preferable, since such short-term investment securities increase in fund operation of Ricoh.

Accompanied by this change, Ricoh restated consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of cash flow for prior years. The effect of this change was to increase cash and cash equivalents increased by ¥50,243 million and ¥27,664 million and to decrease equivalently Marketable securities on balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2002, respectively, and net cash used in investing activities decrease by ¥6,954 million and increase by ¥15,629 million in consolidated statements of cash flow for nine months ended December 31, 2001 and year ended March 31, 2002.

-19-





(7) Use of Estimates

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, including impairment losses of long-lived assets and the disclosures of fair value of financial instruments and contingent assets and liabilities, to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


3. Note

New Accounting Standards

From year ended March 31, 2003, Ricoh has adopted SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”SFAS No. 141 requires the use of only the purchase method of accounting for business combinations and prohibits the use of the pooling of interests method.

SFAS No. 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill, requires annual impairment testing of goodwill.

Ricoh has completed the transitional impairment test for existing goodwill as required by SFAS No. 142. Ricoh has determined that the fair value of each reporting unit which includes goodwill is in excess of its carrying amount. Accordingly, no impairment loss was recorded for goodwill upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142.
