POLICIES
(1) Basic Management
The Ricoh Group's vision is to be a winner in the 21st century. Under that
banner, we aim to continue to provide high reliability and build new value so
that we can contribute to productivity improvement and knowledge creation for
individuals working anytime, anywhere, providing high reliability and new value
creation.
Our proactive approach covers not only products and services for traditional
office setups but also customers working at any time and place in a broadband
environment.
Our three-year 14th medium-term management plan, which ends in March 2005, has
five basic objectives:
i. Realize a "vital and motivated culture"
ii. Strengthen technologies to become the World No.1 product manufacturing
company
iii. Build "Customer-Friendly" and "Environmentally-Friendly" company
iv. Strengthen each business unit and revolutionize group business structures
v. Strengthen management constitution for competitive advantage
(2) Medium-Term Management Strategies
We are meeting the challenges of digital networking in our core competence of
office equipment. We have accordingly endeavored since our 13th medium-term
management plan to not only manufacture such equipment as copiers and printers
but also overhaul our operational structure so we can help our customers improve
or enhance productivity through our offerings.
In the years ahead, demand should continue to rise for productivity enhancement.
At the same time, further advances in digital networking will generate greater
reliance on color-based documents and expand the amount of information, making
it increasingly critical for customers to more efficiently manage their TDV
(Total Document Volume) from copiers and printers.
Our 14th medium-term management plan thus focuses on building total document
volume (which includes increasing added value per page) and thereby broadening
our revenues and earnings base. Our basic strategy has three goals:
i. Replacing monochrome products with color models
Provide a full lineup of compact color machines at prices comparable to those of
monochrome models, thus securing new markets by meeting new demand for color.
ii. Expanding sales of high-speed models
Attract more customers through fast machines providing competitive advantages in
terms of purchase price, maintenance charges, and reliability.
iii. Deploy printing solutions
Suggest ways for customers to optimize the total output costs of their copiers
and printers, thus expanding equipment sales and building total document volume.
Following are Ricoh's major basic strategic achievements in fiscal 2003.
In terms of replacing monochrome products with color models, the Company
continued to win top marks in Japan and abroad for its IPSiO Color 8000 series
(Aficio AP 3800C overseas) of fast color laser printers, which deliver color
performance at monochrome speed and price. During the term, we released the
Imagio Neo C240/C320 series of multifunctional printers (MFPs) for regular
offices, which helped expand our share of the domestic color copier market. We
also started selling this series overseas as the Aficio 1224C/1232C.
In high-speed models, the imagio MF105Pro (Aficio 1050 overseas) digital copier
was very well received domestically and abroad for its affordable pricing
maintenance fees and reliability. This machine attracted more customers seeking
high-volume copying and output.
We continued to make progress in printing solutions. In the European and U.S.
markets in particular, we drew on a global service and support structure that
optimizes total printing costs for copiers and printers to steadily increase the
number of major accounts worldwide.
During the term, we established Ricoh China Co., Ltd., as a holding company to
broaden our operations in the highly promising Chinese market. Ricoh has already
achieved impressive results to date in China, and the new subsidiary is
strategically expanding our business by integrating sales, production, and
development.
6
Ricoh is striving to bolster its technological capabilities so it can become the
world No. 1 product manufacturing company, providing the most competitive
products and services. Specific focuses include technologies to develop
next-generation, high-speed color imaging equipment and designing and developing
hardware and software that allow users to freely and simply connect and operate
various office machines. We are also pursuing the creation of environmentally
friendly offerings. In the year under review, we set up four research centers
within the Research and Development Division to support the development of basic
technologies, including one specializing in photonics and another concentrating
on environmental technologies. We also established operations within the
Software Research and Development Division.
During the term, we decided to make Tohoku Ricoh Co., Ltd., a wholly owned
subsidiary. This was in line with our goal of reinforcing Group development and
design capabilities to ensure an integrated strategic approach while delivering
cost-competitive offerings.
(3) Basic Stance and Policies on Corporate Governance
In driving to boost competitiveness, Ricoh is committed to management
transparency based on its corporate philosophy and ethics.
We have taken the following steps to maintain good corporate governance:
i. Management organization and other corporate governance structures related to
decision-making, execution, and auditing
.. Adopting an auditor system
.. Introducing an executive officer system, transferring authority to divisions
to clarify their roles
.. Maintaining a board of 13 directors, including two external officials, to
handle major decisions on Group management
.. Strengthening auditing of individual divisions and establishing The group
Management Committee to formulate and implement optimal strategies for the
entire Group
.. Maintaining legally required auditing through four auditors, including two
external ones, and instituting independent internal auditing through the
auditing office
.. Having accounts auditors conduct assessments at appropriate times
[Chart of Ricoh's corporate governance system]
The chart of Ricoh's corporate governance system is omitted.
ii. Conflicts of interest among external directors and auditors
None
iii. Corporate governance initiatives implemented in past year
Ricoh established a Corporate Social Responsibility Office to help the Company
serve communities even better.
7
(4) Challenges
Economic prospects remain unclear in the United States, which drives the global
economy. At the same time, the Japanese equity markets remain in the doldrums,
and we estimate that the global economy will continue to suffer low growth. On
top of that, competition is very intense in the color and digital networking
fields.
The Ricoh Group's prime priorities in continuing to achieve growth in such a
tough operating environment are to create new customer value while further
improving management efficiency, thereby bolstering corporate competitiveness.
It is critical for us to become the world No. 1 product manufacturing company so
we can identify new needs and provide superior value. To that end, we will
redouble efforts to provide new value through out customer satisfaction-oriented
management while solidifying our technological clout so we can deliver new value
through our products and services.
In building and providing such value, Ricoh aims to meet its goals of being
people-friendly and environmentally-friendly. In other words, we are pursuing
ease of use so customers can take full advantage of products and services that
are becoming increasingly complex as digital networking progresses. We are also
endeavoring to reinforce our environmental management as part of our mission
without compromising profitability.
We are making steady progress in streamlining efficiency through process reforms
in all Group fields as part of a drive to improve capital efficiency and
earnings. In addition, we aim to slash costs and thereby raise price
competitiveness, thus realizing a low-cost management structure that can provide
high efficiency in deflationary environments.
It is also most important management challenge to prevent the sorts of scandals
that have occurred in Japan and abroad recently that have shaken community
trust.
The Group is addressing this issue in line with its commitment to its
responsibilities as a member of society, striving to serve the interests of its
customers and other stakeholders while strengthening its management
organization.
(5) Dividend Policy
Ricoh endeavors to ensure stable dividends by improving profitability while
increasing retained earnings to reinforce its corporate structure and cultivate
new businesses. Ricoh uses those retained earnings to strengthen core businesses
and invest in new fields from medium- and long-term perspectives.
(6) Thinking and Policies on Reducing Minimal Investment Lots
Ricoh plans to keep close tabs on investment patterns and its shareholder
composition, and will consider taking steps to alter the minimum lot requirement
if need be. Ricoh believes that reducing the minimum number of shares required
to invest in Ricoh could help attract a broader range of investors to the equity
markets while enhancing the liquidity of its shares. However, many investors
already trade in Ricoh's shares, so management has concluded that there is no
immediate need to reduce the minimum investment lot.

PERFORMANCE
*Overview
In fiscal 2003, ended March 31, 2003, consolidated net sales increased 3.9%, to
(Yen)1,738.3 billion. This was the ninth consecutive revenue growth. The average
exchange rates prevailing during the term were (Yen)121.96 to the dollar (up
(Yen)3.14) and (Yen)121.00 to the euro (down (Yen)10.40). The sales increase
would have been 2.7% without the impact of foreign exchange.
Domestic sales were down 0.7%, to (Yen)896.0 billion. On the positive side sales
increased for printing systems such as MFPs (multifunctional printers) and laser
printers. Sales were also favorable for useware, document management, and other
areas of the solutions business. In contrast, sales of standalone analog
equipment fell amid the shift toward MFPs, while sales were off for personal
computer and servers due primarily to the sluggish domestic information
technology demand. Sales declined for measuring equipment as a result of slow
demand cycle. Domestic sales accounted for 51.5% of net sales, down 2.5
percentage points.
Overseas sales increased 9.4%, to (Yen)842.3 billion. Sales were steady despite
an economic slowdown in the United States and the turmoil in the Middle East.
The Company continued to perform well in Europe, where the economic environment
stabilized, and in other areas. In terms of sales by product lines, sales of
core digital equipment increased solidly, while sales of strategic focused
printing systems increased significantly in Europe and the United States.
Optical disc and semiconductors operations enjoyed favorable sales. Without the
foreign exchange effect, overseas sales would have gained 6.8%. These sales
represented 48.5% of net sales, up 2.5 percentage points.
Gross profit increased 6.5%, to (Yen)745.3 billion. In both Japan and abroad,
sales were up for high-margin, high-value-added products, notably MFPs and laser
printers. The Company contributed to reduce costs continuously, while operations
were affected by the yen's depreciation against the euro. The Company incurred
additional costs owing to cover quality problems on some metering equipment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7.3%, to (Yen)611.6
billion, reflecting strategic spending on research and development and on basic
systems development.
As other cost and expense item, the company increased accrued expenses due to
the introduction of a total compensation system for social insurance premiums.
The Company has valued long-lived assets appropriately, adapting the expected
present value current value approach of future cash flow.
As a result of the above factors, operating income increased 3.1%, to (Yen)133.6
billion.
Interest and dividend income decreased due primarily to sluggish financial
markets. On the other hand, foreign exchange losses reduced, while the Company
constrained interest-bearing debt by reinforcing cash management systems in
Japan, the United States, and Europe. Ricoh has valued its holding marketable
securities appropriately in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principle. As the result, income before income taxes, minority interests and
equity in earnings of affiliates increased 8.4%, to (Yen)123.4 billion.
The Company remesured its deferred tax assets and liabilities in response to the
introduction of a corporate enterprise tax system and other change in tax laws.
Ricoh posted losses on minority holdings in measuring equipment affiliates. The
profit impact from the transfer of the substitutioned portion of Employees'
Pension Fund to the Japanese Government will be recognized when the autual
transfer could be made later in this year.
Net income surged 17.7% for the year, to (Yen)72.5 billion, the 11th consecutive
increased and the ninth consecutive record high.
In terms of the business segment, operating income increased due primarily to
increase in sales of high-margin, high-value-added products and export increase
to overseas. In other businesses, Ricoh posted a decline in its measuring
equipment business due to spending to cover quality problems, while a recovery
in revenues and earnings from semiconductor operations. In terms of the
geographic segment, operating income decreased in Japan due to increase of
overseas production under its policy of optimally locating manufacturing
operations closer to customer markets and domestic sales decrease. However net
sales and operating income increased internationally as sales expanded for
digital equipment and networkable systems and strategy of locating production
mentioned above.
Year-end cash dividends per share are proposed (Yen)7.00 per share. Combined
with interim dividends of the same amount, total dividends for fiscal 2003 will

*Consolidated Sales by Product Line
Office Equipment (sales up 2.4%, to (Yen)1,520.5 billion)
To support customers more efficiently manage their TDV(total document volume),
the Ricoh Group offers its solution proposal for these customers optimize their
total printing costs. To realize this business target, the Ricoh is progressing
digitalization, networking, colorlization and high speeding, shifting away from
standalone analog equipments. As a result of these efforts, Ricoh greatly
expanded sales of printing systems such as MFPs and laser printers, while
increasing revenues from useware, software, and other solutions businesses. In
Japan, sales of personal computer and servers declined due primarily to poor
economic conditions and sluggish information technology demand. Overseas sales
increased, particularly in Europe and other regions. Demand was slow in the
United States due primarily to the economic slowdown and the turmoil in the
Middle East, while the yen's rise against the dollar also affected operations.
Nonetheless, the Company performed solidly as a result of its strengthened sales
networks in the United States. Sales of office equipment thus advanced 2.4%, to
(Yen)1,520.5 billion.
Imaging Solutions (sales down 8.0%, to (Yen)859.7 billion)
In the digital imaging systems, the Company strengthened its lineup with
new offering in digital plain-paper copier (PPC) lineup, which covers from
the low-end model such as Imagio MF 1340/1540 series (Aficio 1013/1015
overseas) to the high-speed model such as Imagio MF 105 Pro (Aficio 1050
overseas). Domestically, sales of digital imaging systems decreased due to
the depressed economy and the shift toward printing systems. Overseas,
sales of fax machines and other decreased, although digital PPC sales
increased in Europe and other regions. As a result of these factors,
overall sales of digital imaging systems decreased 4.2%.
In other imaging systems, sales fell 16.8%, reflecting the trend away from
analog type equipments to digital type equipment and MFPs.
In the imaging solutions field, its sales increased 8.0%, to (Yen)859.7
billion, reflecting Ricoh's strategies. Imaging solutions accounted for
49.5% of consolidated net sales, down 6.3 %.
Networking Input/Output Systems (sales up 34.6%, to (Yen)463.3 billion)
In the printing systems, Ricoh released high speed, more networkable and
color offerings and further expanded sales of printing equipments to meet
customer needs. In MFPs, the sales of the Imagio Neo 750/600 series (Aficio
1075/1060 overseas), the Imagio Neo 105 Pro (Aficio 1050 overseas)
contributed to the sales growth. In laser printers, the IPSiO Color
6000/7100 (in Japan) and AP 3800C (in overseas) increased its sales volume.
Overall sales of printing systems thus increased 36.6%.
Sales of other input/output systems increased 21.2%. Although up a year
earlier, domestic sales of CD-R/RW decreased due to a shift toward new
standard DVD. In contrast, sales of DVD in the United States and CD-R/RW
shipments to other regions increased favorably. As a result of above, sales
in networking input/ output systems increased 34.6%, to (Yen)463.3 billion.
Networking input/output systems accounted for 26.7% of net sales, up 6.1 %.
Network System Solutions (sales down 4.6%, to (Yen)197.4 billion)
Ricoh has strengthened its solution business, such as useware, document
management and software. These areas allow the Company to help customers
optimize their total printing costs. Sales in Japan and overseas increased
well. In contrast, sales of personal computers and servers continued to
decline in Japan, reflecting sluggish information technology spending.
Other Businesses (sales up 16.5%, to (Yen)217.7 billion)
Sales in other business increased 16.5%, to (Yen)217.7 billion. This
improvement reflected a recovery in the domestic semiconductor business, as
well as solid results in Europe and other regions. On top of that, the
Company enjoyed steady gains in leasing and other operations. In contrast,
sales decreased for measuring equipments due to stagnant demand cycle.

* Consolidated Sales by Geographic Area
Japan (sales down 0.7%, to (Yen)896.0 billion)
Although the domestic economy remains very unfavorable, Ricoh responded to
the customer needs, by pursuing product and sales strategies of products,
which led to gains in sales of printing systems such as MFPs and printers.
In the solutions business, which encompasses useware and document
management, the Company's proposals for improving customers' total cost
performance were well received, leading to higher sales in this area. At
the same time, sales of standalone analog equipments fell amid the shift
toward MFPs and color models, while personal computers and servers sales
also decreased. In other businesses, sales of measuring equipments
decreased due to poor demand cycle, although demand in semiconductor
operations began to recover. As the results, sales in Japan decreased 0.7%,
to (Yen)896.6 billion. Domestic operations accounted for 51.5% of net
sales, down 2.5 percentage points.
The Americas (sales up 0.6%, to (Yen)343.9 billion)
Ricoh further broadened and reinforced its sales network, especially in
North America, against a background of a slower U.S. economy, the turmoil
in the Middle East and severe competition. The Company stepped up sales of
new printing systems that matched a customer demand shift away from analog
offerings toward networked digital PPCs and color models, and strove to
expand sales to major accounts. Sales were solid for new standards DVD.
Sales in the Americas increased 0.6%, to (Yen)343.9 billion. After
factoring out the yen's appreciation against the dollar, it gained 3.2%.
Europe (sales up 13.9%, to (Yen)354.4 billion)
With European economies remaining relatively stable, sales of digital PPCs
and printing systems increased. Ricoh strengthened its sales network
continuously reinforced its brand clout. These efforts helped the Company
to maintain its top share of the European market for copiers and MFPs. The
yen's depreciation against the euro also contributed to higher sales. As
the results, sales in Europe increased 13.9%, to (Yen)354.4 billion.
Others (sales up 23.4%, to (Yen)143.9 billion)
In China and other Asian markets, a full-fledged shift in business
equipment to digital networked and color models led to an increase in sales
of digital PPCs and printing systems. Demand for optical discs also
continued to improve, while semiconductor sales remained solid. Sales in
Others increased 23.4%, to (Yen)143.9 billion. During the term, Ricoh
established a new regional headquarter in Shanghai to reinforce its
operations in the promising Chinese market. Ricoh aims to further integrate
its production, sales, and services while focusing even more on customer
needs to strengthen its revenues and earnings in China.

development. On the other hand, increase in sales of high-value-added products,
ongoing cost reductions in production and administrative areas, and the yen's
depreciation were favorably effected to the profitability. Operating income
5.2%, to (Yen) 190.7 billion, the operating margin rose 0.3 percentage point, to
12.5%.
Capital expenditures decreased from the previous fiscal year, despite higher
spending on new production lines and investment on research and development.
Total assets decreased due primarily to the decrease in tangible fixed assets,
collection of account receivables and inventories reduction.
OTHER BUSINESSES
In the semiconductor business, the Company enjoyed a recovery in domestic demand
and buoyant sales overseas. Leasing and other businesses performed steadily. As
a result, sales of other businesses increased 15.6%, to (Yen) 220.5 billion. At

economy, the turmoil in the Middle East, and intensifying competition. The
Company expanded sales of printing systems and strengthened sales approaches to
major accounts. In MFPs and color laser printers, sales increased, centered on
new offerings. On the other hand, the yen rose against the dollar causing sales
in the Americas decreased 2.1%, to (Yen) 339.5 billion. Operating income
increased 25.3%, to (Yen) 14.3 billion, on the strength of cost-cutting.
Europe
All operations in Europe were able to increase sales in all regional markets,
centered on PPCs and printing systems, allowing Ricoh to maintain its top share
of the European copier and MFPs market. European sales increased 13.6%, to
(Yen) 355.9 billion. Operating income increased 49.8%, to (Yen) 18.2 billion,
reflecting higher production nearer customers and the yen's depreciation against
the euro.
Others
The demand shift to digital, networkable, and color business equipment has been
strong in China and elsewhere in Asia and Oceania, while the Company maintained
high production rates along with demand increase to the world. Segment sales
thus increased 15.6%, to (Yen) 169.8 billion. Operating income increased 41.0%,
to (Yen) 9.9 billion, reflecting higher sales and production. To help expand
operations in the promising Chinese market, the newly established regional
headquarter will focus on integrating manufacturing, sales, and services, to

amortization, as well as decreases in trade receivables and inventories, which
offset a rise in finance receivables.
Net cash used in investing activities increased (Yen) 16.7 billion, to (Yen)
98.1 billion. This was due to capital expenditures spending for new production
lines and increased fund investments.
As a result of the above factors, free cash flow generated by operating and
investing activities increased (Yen) 63.8 billion, to (Yen) 87.5 billion.
Although net cash provided by financing activities was (Yen) 36.2 billion in the

*Expectations
* Economic projections and Ricoh Group's strategies for fiscal 2004
There are increasing concerns about the outlook for fiscal 2004 because of the
depressed domestic equity market, high unemployment, and the uncertain income
environment. In management's view, it will take time for the Japanese economy to
recover from its structural deflation. Conditions should remain difficult
because of the possibility that the U.S. economy may stagnate, the aftereffects
of the war in Iraq, and the impact on the global economy if severe acute
respiratory syndrome (SARS) spreads.
Under this situation, the Ricoh Group has centered its 14th medium-term term
management plan, started in April 2002, on expanding its profit base by
expanding total document volume. The basic strategy entails:
.. Responding to greater demand for color documents among office users
.. Expanding sales of high-speed machines
.. Deploying printing solutions
The crucial challenges for our customers will be to improve work flow and
enhance productivity by better managing total document volumes. We will support
such efforts by continuing to formulate proposals to optimize customer's total
printing costs and offer products and services that meet more sophisticated
needs for color and faster office document production. In addition, we plan to
expand operations by integrating production, sales, and service through a
management base in the highly promising Chinese market, to complement similar
organizations Japan, the United States, and Europe.
Ricoh will pursue efficiencies through process reform in each business domain to
ensure sustainable earnings growth and cash flows, as part of which it is
working on a low-cost management structure that can withstand deflationary
environments by further reinforcing price competitiveness.
Our performance forecasts for fiscal 2004 are as follows:

7. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONSOLIDATED)
1. ITEMS RELATING TO THE SCALE OF CONSOLIDATION AND THE APPLICATION OF THE
EQUITY METHOD
Consolidated subsidiaries:
13 additions including Ricoh China Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Ricoh Facsimile Co.,
Ltd.
10 removals including INRG Hong Kong Ltd.
Companies accounted for by the equity method:
4 additions including Tohoku Ricoh Hong Kong Co., Ltd.
16 removals including Ricoh San-ai Tourist Co., Ltd.
2. CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTING POLICIES (SUMMARY)
(1) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ricoh and its
consolidated subsidiaries. Investments in 20% to 50% owned companies when the
company has the ability to exercise significant influence 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 securities 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 is 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 is 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. In addition to the above, Ricoh decided
to include short-term investment securities in cash equivalents which are
available-for-sale at any time, present insignificant risk of changes in value
as they are readily convertible into cash and have an original maturity of three
months or less, such as Money Management Funds and Free Financial Funds. Ricoh
believes this change is preferable, since as the Company expects to utilize such
short-term investment securities more significantly in its operating cash
management activities.
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 by (Yen)27,664 million and to decrease
equivalently Marketable securities on balance sheet as of March 31, 2002, and
net cash used in investing activities increased by (Yen)15,629 million, in
consolidated statements of cash flow for the year ended March 31, 2002.
(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.
