POLICIES
(1) Basic Management
The Ricoh Group intends to be the company that gains most from the 21st century.
With this aim, we will continue to provide high levels of reliability and to
create new value in order to contribute both to productivity improvement and
also to knowledge creation for individuals working anytime, anywhere.
Accordingly, our proactive approach encompasses not only products and services
for traditional office setups, but also customers working in a broadband
environment.
(2) Mid- to Long-term Business Strategies
In terms of office equipment business - our core competence - we in the Ricoh
Group have made every possible effort since the inception of our 13th
medium-term management plan to move beyond the manufacture and retail of
equipment such as copiers and printers so that we may overhaul our operational
structure, thus enabling us to support our customers in their efforts to improve
or enhance productivity through our offering.
As these customers continue to experience heightened demand for operation
improvement and reform, further expansion of digital networking will be
accompanied by changes in the nature of critical customer information in terms
of increased digitization, coloring, and volume.
As a result of these factors, it is expected that efficient and effective I/O
(i.e., Input/Output), storage, and searching of TDV (i.e., total document
volume), which includes printed material in addition to photocopies, will become
a pressing issue for said customers.
Our 14th medium-term management plan from April 2002 to March 2005 thus focused
on the realization of TDV, thereby broadening our revenue and earning framework.
In this, our basic strategy features the following three goals:
i. Replacing monochrome products with color models
To expand our lineup of compact color machines at prices comparable to those of
monochrome models, thus satisfying our customers' requirements for color
capability without being limited simply to the replacement of monochrome
copiers.
ii. Increased sales of high-speed models
To provide high-speed copiers with a competitive edge in terms of purchase
price, maintenance costs, and reliability, thus responding suitably to customer
needs for high levels of efficiency.
iii. Provision of printing solutions
To propose optimum combinations of copiers and printers in order to allow
customers to meet additional cost reduction requirements.
The progress made with this basic strategy during the 14th medium-term
management plan period and the term under review is described below
To encourage customers to make the transition to color models, we have launched
a series of multifunction color models and color laser printers to augment our
product line. The term under review was no exception, as we introduced the
imagio Neo C600 series, a multifunction color model that boasts high-speed color
copy and print performance of 45 sheets per minute, and the imagio Neo C455
series, a multifunction color model that offers even better image quality,
thanks to the color PxP toner that employs Ricoh's unique polymerized
technology.
These measures have boosted the Ricoh Group's market share in such principal
color copier markets as Japan, the United States of America, and Europe.
In the same token, the IPSiO G series, a Gel-Jet printer that we introduced last
year to target the demand to replace other manufacturers' monochrome laser
printers and ink jet printers in the low-end business printer market, has been
widely acclaimed as a business printer that provides high-speed output,
high-quality page printing, and low running cost.
As a result of our effort to expand sales of high-speed models, our high-speed
digital multifunction models have won wide acclaim in both domestic and overseas
markets, thus solidifying our positions in those markets. We have also provided
since last year a high-speed digital multifunction model that satisfies
customers' contemporary needs for security and environmental protection. During
the term under review, too, we launched the imagio Neo 753/603 series, a
high-speed digital multipurpose model that is equipped with the world's first
unauthorized copy guard feature and achieves the highest energy efficiency in
its class with QSU, Ricoh's unique energy conservation technology.
As for Printing Solutions, we have offered the optimal solutions for minimizing
total expenses by combining copier and printer functions, and developed a global
support and service network. As a result, we have steadily increased business
with customers who have operations around the world. During the term under
review, we launched @Remote, a remote management service that constantly
monitors the condition and use of output equipment via the Internet. This
service reduces the operation and management burden of the IT environment in the
office, and helps reduce TCO (total cost of ownership) and improve operation
efficiency. The service is provided as a facet of Ricoh's total support service
around the world.
As the acquisition of stock in Hitachi Printing Solutions, Ltd. was completed
on October 1, 2004, the company has become a member of the Ricoh Group as Ricoh
Printing Systems, Ltd.. We expect the synergy between the high-speed, reliable
technology and system technology developed by the company and the various
printer and copier technologies pioneered by the Ricoh Group to help us
strengthen a broad spectrum of the product line, from core operating system to
office applications, and further expand the printing business.
5
(3) Basic Approach and Policies for Corporate Governance
The Ricoh Group is committed to corporate governance by ensuring the
transparency of management and improving competitiveness based on the spirit of
corporate ethics and compliance.
i. Status of corporate governance
We employ a statutory auditor system. Combined with a more effective board of
directors and an executive officer system, the auditor system reinforces the
supervision of management and supports managerial activities.
The board of directors is composed of fourteen directors, of which one is an
outside director. The board of directors makes important decisions concerning
the supervision of management and management of the group.
Under the executive officer system, the executive function is delegated to each
division to clarify roles. As a sub-organization to the board of directors, an
all-company executive committee is composed of the Chief Executive Officer and
other executive officers who meet certain qualifications. This committee takes
such business actions as supervising the divisions and preparing the optimal
strategy for the entire group, within the scope of authority delegated by the
board of directors.
Five internal auditors, including two outside auditors, perform strict audits by
attending the board of directors meetings and management meetings, receiving
reports on business from the directors, reviewing important resolution
documents, and investigating the status of operations and assets.
Corporate Audit Office, which is the Ricoh Group's internal auditing unit,
performs fair and objective examination and evaluation of how each division is
executing its business based on rational criteria, and provides advice and
recommendations for improvement.
As for external auditing, in light of the call for greater independence of
auditing corporations, we have established regulations concerning the polices
and procedures for prior approval for auditing and non-auditing duties, and have
implemented the board of auditors' prior approval system for details and
contract amounts of auditing contracts.
Furthermore, to further reinforce the internal control of the Ricoh Group, we
have formed Internal Management & Control Office. To maintain the status of the
Ricoh Group as a global company with high corporate values, the section
cooperates with other units and principal group companies to revamp internal
control mechanisms across the group, provide education, and improve business
processes to comply with relevant laws, regulations, and standards, to improve
the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, and to maintain the integrity of
financial reports.
We have established Ricoh Group corporate social responsibility (CSR) charter
and Ricoh Group codes of conduct to ensure that every employee in the group
understands and abides by the laws of each country, international rules, and the
spirit of these rules, and acts in good common sense with responsibility.
For corporate disclosure, we have established internal rules that set forth the
process from the collection to preparation, reporting, and disclosure of
information. The disclosure committee was formed to manage the process, and to
ensure the accuracy, timeliness, and completeness of the disclosure.
ii. Outline of personal relationships, capital relationships, transactions, and
other interests between the company, company's outside directors, and outside
auditors
There exists no special interest between the one outside director, two outside
auditors, and the company.
iii. Progress in improving the company's corporate governance during the most
recent one-year period
The Ricoh Group issued the Social Responsibility Management Report, which
informs the public on our policies, organization, corporate activity principles,
and status of corporate social responsibility. Combined with the business
management report and annual report that we have published, it completes our
ability to disclose information as a sustainability report that covers all three
aspects (environment, economy, and society) of the Ricoh Group's operations.
As a facet of reinforcing the board of directors' ability to supervise
management, we have decided to form a nomination and compensation committee, a
permanent committee unique to the Ricoh Group, within the board of directors
during fiscal year 2006. The nomination and compensation committee will be led
by outside directors, and will propose and decide on appointment and discharge
systems and compensation system for directors and executive officers. The new
committee will be anticipated to give a boost to the board of directors' ability
to supervise the all-company executive committee.

(4) Challenges
As customer needs have become increasingly diverse, they would be no longer
satisfied with merely purchasing products or services. The competition has also
become increasingly severe in the replacement of monochrome models with color
models and providing business solutions. Although such major changes in the
market environment may seem like a formidable obstacle, the Ricoh Group sees
them as an ideal opportunity for expanding the earnings foundation. This is
because we have sufficient ability and strength to meet such changes. By
defining target areas, further adding to the abilities and strengths, and
striving to create new values for customers, we will provide products and
services that satisfy customer needs ahead of the competition, and achieve
growth and development.
Based on this concept, under the 15th medium-term management plan, which has
been in effect since April 2005, we designated printing, emerging markets, and
industrial area as the three target areas for growth. In order for the Ricoh
Group to achieve growth and development with a focus on these growth areas, it
is essential that we boost our corporate competitiveness by creating new values
for customers and improving managerial efficiency.
To create new values for customers, we will reinforce our CS (customer
satisfaction) management, through which we will aggressively cultivate new
values, with an emphasis on the three customer values (simplify creativity,
user-friendly, and earth-friendly). In essence, we will support customers'
creativity activities, create an environment for creativity, further improve the
user-friendliness of products and services so customers can take full advantage
of the benefits, and provide products and services that help customers to
protect the global environment. We will also continue to refine our technology
to materialize the new values as products and services.
Our effort will also continue in improving the efficiency of management to
enhance our profitability. Structural reform will streamline operational
processes and improve the earnings from each project. Furthermore, we will more
carefully select projects and concentrate resources to the selected projects to
improve managerial efficiency.
The profit generated from such activities will be aggressively allocated to
investments in growth areas and technologies to further increase profits and
raise corporate value.
(5) Dividend Policy
Ricoh endeavors to ensure that policies are regularly updated to take the
dividend payout ratio into consideration in the payment of dividends, while at
the same time increasing retained earnings for the enhancement of corporate
structure and the new business generation. Furthermore, these retained earnings
will be used both in the reinforcement of core businesses and for investment in
new fields with both medium-term and long-term perspectives.
(6) Concept and Policy of Reducing the Trading Unit
Ricoh plans to keep investment patterns and shareholder composition under close
scrutiny, and we will consider taking the appropriate steps to alter the minimum
investment lot if so required. By reducing the minimum number of shares required
to invest in the company, Ricoh believes that a broader range of investors can
be attracted to equity markets, while at the same time, the liquidity of this
company's shares may be enhanced. Nevertheless, many investors already trade in
Ricoh's shares, and for this reason, management has concluded that there is no
immediate need for reduction of the minimum investment lots.
Furthermore, we intend to pay attention to the condition of business partners
and of shareholder makeup as we carefully study both the necessity and the
timing of implementation of these measures.

year-on-year revenue growth. During the term under review, the average exchange
rates of the yen against the U.S. dollar and the euro were Yen 107.58 (up Yen
5.51) and Yen 135.25 (down Yen 2.60), respectively. Excluding the effects of
these foreign exchange rate fluctuations, consolidated net sales increased 2.4%
from the previous fiscal year.
In terms of domestic market, sales increased for printing systems such as MFPs
(multifunction printers) and laser printers. Ricoh Printing Systems, Ltd., our
newly acquired printer company, contributed to the sales increase. Our solutions
business such as customer support and service also delivered favorable
performance. As a result, overall sales of office equipment increased 5.0% from
the previous corresponding period. While other businesses suffered from sluggish
demand for semiconductors and lower demand period for measuring equipment, such
businesses as optical equipment and leasing maintained strength. Consequently,
overall domestic sales increased 6.4% to Yen 972.9 billion. Domestic sales
accounted for 53.6% of consolidated net sales, or up 2.3 percentage points.
In terms of overseas, sales decreased in the Americas due to the
yen's appreciation against the U.S. dollar. In Europe, on the other hand, sales
kept strong gains. In other areas, sales decreased as we sold consolidated
subsidiaries in optical-related analog businesses. By product category, sales
proceeds from our core products (color PPCs and printing systems) increased to
compensate for part of the sales declines in standalone analog equipment and
optical discs. Due to the aforementioned sale of businesses and the relative
yen's appreciation, overseas sales decreased 2.9% from the previous
corresponding period to Yen 841.1 billion. Excluding the effects of foreign
exchange rate fluctuations, overseas sales increased 1.9%. Overseas sales
accounted for 46.4% of consolidated net sales, or down 2.3 percentage points.
Gross profit decreased 1.4% from the previous corresponding period to Yen 754.5
billion. Although sales increased in such high-margin, high value added products
as MFPs and laser printers and the ongoing cost-cutting efforts contributed to
gross profit, the sales promotion of color models in the first half of the term
under review, downsizing of the optical disc business, the aforementioned sale
of businesses, and the yen's appreciation had a negative effect on gross profit.
In terms of selling, general and administrative expenses, R&D expenses was Yen
110.4 billion, up 19.4% from the previous corresponding period. The strategic
expenses in product and marketing activities for a "growth strategy" under the
15th medium-term management plan from next fiscal year and IT investment for
developing core operating systems increased. Consequently, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 0.6% to Yen 619.0 billion.
As a result of these activities, operating income decreased 9.7% from the
previous corresponding period to Yen 135.5 billion.
In terms of other (income) expenses, interest and dividend income increased. On
the other hand, the company reduced interest-bearing liabilities and interest
costs by effective management of financing between group companies. Furthermore,
although the company recorded a loss from foreign exchange in the previous
fiscal year, it enjoyed a gain from foreign exchange during the term under
review. As a result, income before income taxes decreased 5.4% to Yen 135.3
billion.
The effective tax rate decreased as a result of greater tax deductions for
research and development and IT investment and improved overall profitability of
consolidated subsidiaries. The effect of improved profitability of consolidated
companies is reflected in the minority interests in earnings. In the previous
corresponding period, the cumulative effect (Yen 7.3 billion gain) of change in
accounting for marketable securities transferred to a pension trust was
reflected in the income statement in connection with gain recognition for
additional contribution to the employee pension trust.
As a result of these activities, net income decreased 9.4% from the previous
corresponding period to Yen 83.1 billion.
With regard to the state of business segment, Office Equipment benefited from
the increase in sales for printing systems and the effort to reduce costs such
as those associated with SCM (supply chain management) activities. On the other
hand, advance investment for the future business improvement and the downsizing
of the optical disc business caused a decrease in net income of Office Equipment
from the previous corresponding period. In other businesses, the strength of
leasing compensated for the decline in performance of measuring equipment in the
sluggish period and semiconductor suffering from a lack of demand. Due to the
aforementioned sale of businesses, however, both sales and operating income took
a setback compared to the previous corresponding period.
With regard to the state of geographic segment, greater sales of the core
strategic products mentioned above and high operating ratios in production
resulted in higher operating income in Europe and Other. Operating income
decreased in Japan and the United States, where strategic investments were made
for future activities.
In terms of capital, ending balance of total assets increased Yen 100.8 billion
to Yen 1,953.6 billion as a result of the consolidation of Ricoh Printing
Systems, Ltd. and an increase in operating assets from the sales growth.
Interest-bearing liabilities have been reduced by reinforcing regional cash
management in Japan, the Americas, and Europe. The ending
balance of stockholders' equity increased Yen 67.8 billion to Yen 862.9 billion.
Equity ratio went increased 1.3 percentage points from the end of the previous
corresponding period to 44.2%.
Year-end cash dividend are proposed Yen 10.00 per share, and when combined with
the interim dividend of Yen 10.00, total dividend for the current fiscal year
2005 will be Yen 20.00.

*Consolidated Sales by Product Line
Office Equipment (up 2.2% to Yen 1,591.8 billion)
-------------------------------------------------
Seeing further advancements in digital networks and increasing volume of
information that is processed electronically and in color, customers more than
ever desire to improve and reform their operations. In an effort to help these
customers manage TDV (total document volume) more efficiently and effectively,
the Ricoh Group has continued to offer solutions to optimize total printing
costs of customers. As a strategy to help the customers, we have advanced the
compatibility of standalone analog equipment to digitalization, networking,
color technology, and higher output speed. As a result, sales, particularly
those of such printing systems as MFPs and laser printers, have soared.
Continuing sales gains were also seen in solutions business, including customer
support and service. Severe market competition, decrease sales of optical discs,
and the yen's appreciation against the U.S. dollar proved to be a challenge for
the Ricoh Group. Nevertheless, the development and expansion of strategies for
our core products proved effective, and sales increased in both domestic and
overseas markets. Accordingly, sales of Office Equipment increased 2.2% from the
previous corresponding period to Yen 1,591.8 billion.
Imaging Solutions (down 11.0% to Yen 715.0 billion)
---------------------------------------------------
In terms of Digital Imaging Systems, the company strengthened its lineup
from standard models to high-speed digital models. The company offered a
series of new color PPC products that increased its sales particularly
overseas. Due to the demand shift to printing systems, however, sales of
digital imaging as a whole decreased 7.8% from the previous corresponding
period.
In terns of Other Imaging Systems, a transition is being advanced from
analog to digital or MFPs models. Sales of other imaging systems, as a
result, decreased 20.9%.
The performance of Imaging Solutions reflects the Ricoh Group's strategy as
overall sales decreased 11.0% from the previous corresponding period to Yen
715.0 billion. Sales of this category accounted for 39.4%, down 5.7
percentage points, of net consolidated sales.
Network Input/Output Systems (up 20.2% to Yen 670.8 billion)
------------------------------------------------------------
In terms of Printing Systems, the company offered new products that present
higher speed, networking, and color technology to increase sales of
printing equipment that matches to customer needs. Such domestic MFPs
models as imagio Neo 752/602 series and color MFPs models as imagio C245
and imagio NEO C385 and such overseas MFPs models as Aficio 2035/2045
series and color MFPs models as Aficio 2232C/2238C series have won wide
acclaim from customers. Laser printers, both monochrome and color models,
have increased sales both in Japan and overseas. Ricoh Printing Systems,
Ltd., a new subsidiary of the Ricoh Group, has contributed to the sales
growth. The company have also seen continuing increase in sales of the
Gel-Jet printer, a low-priced color printer for office use. As a result,
sales of Printing Systems as a whole increase 28.7% from the previous
corresponding period.
As for Other I/O Systems, the company streamlined the optical disc business
by reorganizing key modules such as in-house developed drives and part
units, other than media. As a result, sales of Other I/O Systems declined
68.4% from the previous corresponding period.
As a key target of these strategies, sales of Network I/O Systems, as a
whole, increased 20.2% from the previous corresponding period to Yen 670.8
billion. Sales of this category accounted for 37.0%, up 5.6 pecentage
points, of net consolidated sales.
Network System Solutions (up 5.1% to Yen 205.8 billion)
-------------------------------------------------------
Sales have continued to increase, both in Japan and overseas, for solutions
business, including support and service, as customers have embraced
proposals to optimize their total printing costs. The demand for PC servers
has begun to recover in Japan. As a result, sales of this category
increased 5.1% from the previous fiscal year to Yen 205.8 billion.
Other Businesses (down 0.1% to Yen 222.2 billion)
-------------------------------------------------
In Japan, while the performance of measuring equipment in the sluggish
period and semiconductor suffering from a lack of demand declined, optical
equipment and leasing continued to prosper. Overseas, sales decreased as a
result of selling subsidiaries in optical-related businesses. As a result,
sales of this category decreased 0.1% from the previous corresponding
period to Yen 222.2 billion.

* Consolidated Sales by Geographic Area
Japan (up 6.4% to Yen 972.9 billion)
-----------------------------------
While the Japanese economy has been encouraged by signs of recovery in the stock
market, capital investment, and corporate performance, high raw material and
crude oil prices are a cause for concern. In addition, the domestic market
remains under severe competition. Against such a backdrop, Office Equipment has
promoted product and sales strategies that meet customer needs. As a result,
sales of Printing Systems such as MFPs and laser printers, and solutions
business, including support and service, have posted solid sales gains. The
sales increase has compensated for the sales decrease in analog equipment, where
the company is advancing the transition to MFPs and color models. In Other
Businesses, while sales of measuring equipment and semiconductors decreased due
to sluggish demand, such businesses as leasing have maintained momentum. As a
result, domestic sales increased 6.4% from the previous corresponding period to
Yen 972.9 billion. Domestic sales accounted for 53.6%, up 2.3 percentage points,
of net consolidated sales.
The Americas (down 0.2% to Yen 325.5 billion)
---------------------------------------------
The economies of the Americas remained robust. Amidst the severe competition, we
focused on increasing color PPC sales and on printing systems that cater to the
customer needs for networking, color technology, and higher output speed through
our revamped and reinforced sales network. We also made an effort to boost sales
to major accounts. Due to the appreciation of the yen against the U.S. dollar,
however, sales in the Americas as a whole fell 0.2% from the previous
corresponding period to Yen 325.5 billion. Excluding the effect of the yen's
appreciation against the U.S. dollar, sales in the Americas as a whole increased
4.8%.
Europe (up 1.6% to Yen 408.9 billion)
-------------------------------------
The European economy has become relatively stable. Sales of color PPCs and
printing systems have increased, and the Ricoh Group has maintained its market
share lead in photocopiers market. Although sales of optical discs, from which
are focusing to media business, decreased, due partly to the yen's depreciation
against the euro, sales in Europe as a whole increased 1.6% from the previous
corresponding period to Yen 408.9 billion.
Other (down 22.4% to Yen 106.6 billion)
---------------------------------------
The demand shift to color and MFPs in office equipment has picked up momentum in
China, Asia and other areas. As a result, sales of color PPCs and printing
systems have increased from the previous corresponding period. Due to the
downsizing of the optical disc business, the sluggish demand for semiconductors
and the aforementioned sale of optical-related analog consolidated subsidiaries,
however, sales in Other area decreased. Sales of the others decreased 22.4% to
Yen 106.6 billion.

*Segment Information
Business Segment
----------------
Office Equipment
----------------
In category of Imaging Solutions and Printing Systems, the Ricoh Group has
continued to enhance its product lines, including color models, standard models
to high-speed digital models, by offering a series of new products that caters
to customer needs. As a result, sales of MFPs and laser printers, in particular,
made substantial gains. Meanwhile, solutions business, including support and
service, has steadily increased its sales as customers have embraced solutions
to optimize their total printing costs. While severe market competition,
decreasing optical disc sales, and the yen's appreciation against the U.S.
dollar have dampened business, the success of strategies for core products has
increased its sales both in Japan and overseas. As a result, sales of office
equipments as a whole increased 2.2% from the previous corresponding period to
Yen 1,591.8 billion.
Operating expenses have been brought under control by increasing sales of
Printing Systems and promoting such cost-cutting activities as SCM (supply chain
management). On the other hand, the company spent strategic advance expenses for
the future with products and marketing activities, IT investments to core
operating systems and for the downsizing of the optical disc business. Combined
with the yen's appreciation, operating income decreased 6.2% from the previous
corresponding period to Yen 191.7 billion.
Capital investment was allocated primarily to reinforcing production lines for
new products and to research and development.
As for total assets, operating assets increased as a result of consolidating
Ricoh Printing Systems, Ltd., a new printer company that the company purchased
in October 2004, and increase of operating assets due to sales growth.
Other Businesses
----------------
In Japan, measuring equipment struggles with lower period and semiconductor
suffered from sluggish demand. On the other hand, such businesses as optical
equipment and leasing performed favorably. Overseas, sales decreased as a result
of selling optical-related analog businesses in the previous fiscal year. As a
result, sales of other businesses decreased 0.1% from the previous corresponding
period to Yen 224.7 billion. Operating profit was accounted for Yen 0.5 billion.

Geographic Segment
------------------
Japan
-----
Amidst the severe competition in the office equipment market, Printing Systems
and solutions business have deployed aggressive sales strategies and, as a
result, has increased sales in Japan and increased exports to overseas markets.
As a result, sales of the Japan segment increased 5.6% from the previous
corresponding period to Yen 1,386.7 billion. The effect of the increased sales
was amplified by the transition to high value added products and the
implementation of such cost cutting measures as SCM (supply chain management).
On the other hand, the company increased research and development expenses for
the future and spent strategic expenses on aggressive sales activities for the
domestic market. Furthermore, the sales decrease of optical discs and the
sluggish demand for measuring equipment and semiconductors have decreased
operating income by 9.5% from the previous corresponding period to Yen 88.0
billion.
The Americas
------------
Amidst the severe competition in both direct and indirect sales channels, the
company increased sales of Printing Systems through the sales channels that we
have improved and reinforced over the years, and deployed a strategy of stepping
up sales to major accounts. The effort has been rewarded with greater sales of
color PPCs, MFPs and laser printers. Sales in the Americas segment increased
3.0% from the previous corresponding period to Yen 330.4 billion. Operating
income decreased 10.7% to Yen 13.8 billion as a result of intensifying
competition, IT investment for core operating system development, and the yen's
appreciation.
Europe
------
Every country and company in Europe saw sales rise, particularly for printing
systems. The Ricoh group continues to hold the top share in the photocopier
market in Europe. On the other hand, sales of optical discs have decreased. As a
result, sales in the Europe segment increased 2.8% from the previous
corresponding period to Yen 415.6 billion. Operating income increased 10.6% to
Yen 24.3 billion due to increased sales, brining production to appropriate
locations closer to consumers, and the yen's depreciation against the euro.
Other
-----
The accelerated demand shift of office equipment to MFPs and color technology in
China, the rest of Asia, and Oceania has boosted sales of office equipments. The
sale of the optical-related analog consolidated subsidiaries has, however,
greatly reduced sales. As a result, sales in the Other segment decreased 10.0%
to Yen 173.9 billion. As a result of maintaining high operating ratio in
production to accommodate the need for increased supply around the world,
operating income increased 13.7% to Yen 11.9 billion.

Shareholders' Equity 862.9 795.1 67.8
Equity Ratio 44.2% 42.9% 1.3%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total assets have increased considerably due primarily to an increase in
operating assets due to sales growth and the consolidation of Ricoh Printing
Systems, Ltd., which was acquired in October 2004.
In Assets, part of the Yen 15.6 billion decrease in cash and time deposits from
the end of the previous period (balance of Yen 188.3 billion) and the Yen 44.9
billion decrease in marketable securities was appropriated to the aforementioned
acquisition. Trade receivables increased, primarily in Japan, Yen 44.2 billion
to Yen 620.5 billion and inventories increased Yen 21.9 billion to Yen 167.3
billion. Fixed assets increased Yen 8.6 billion to Yen 247.4 billion, while
finance receivables increased Yen 32.0 billion to Yen 391.9 billion, due to
increase of sales. Other investments increased Yen 56.3 billion to Yen 284.5
billion as a result of recognizing goodwill and intangible fixed assets
accompanying the aforementioned acquisition. Consequently, total assets
increased Yen 100.8 billion to Yen 1,953.6 billion.
As for Liabilities, domestic and overseas trade payables increased Yen 38.8
billion to Yen 336.4 billion. Interest-bearing debt decreased Yen 22.6 billion
to Yen 410.0 billion as a result of effective utilization of financial resource
in the Ricoh Group. In addition, other current liabilities decreased Yen 7.0
billion to Yen 151.4 billion as a result of reducing bonuses and transfer to tax
reserve. Retirement benefit obligations increased Yen 9.1 billion to Yen 92.6
billion. As a result, total liabilities decreased Yen 30.7 billion to Yen
1,039.5 billion.
In Shareholders' Equity, there was no major change in common stock or additional
paid-in capital. Retained earnings increased Yen 69.1 billion to Yen 584.5

Although net income and retirement benefit obligations increased, increase of
trade receivables, inventories and lease receivable result in net cash provided
by operating activities decreasing Yen 22.1 billion from the previous
corresponding period to Yen 132.7 billion.
Outgoing cash flow for investment activities increased Yen 32.8 billion from the
end of the previous corresponding period to Yen 96.1 billion due to ongoing
capital investment to reinforce production lines for new products and the
purchase of a printer company.
As a result of these activities, the free cash flow, which is the total of the
cash flows from operating activities and investment activities, decreased Yen
55.0 billion from the previous corresponding period to Yen 36.5 billion of
positive cash flow.
Outgoing cash flow was incurred for reducing interest-bearing liabilities by
encouraging financing between group companies, Yen 14.7 billion for payment of
dividends, and Yen 10.6 billion for acquisition of treasury stock. As a result,
the outgoing cash flow amounted to Yen 56.4 billion.
As a result of the above, the ending balance of cash and cash equivalents

*Forecast for the entire fiscal year
Economic projections and Ricoh Group's strategies for fiscal year 2006
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Although upturn is projected for Japanese stock market, capital investment, and
corporate performance in fiscal year 2006 (extending from April 1, 2005 to March
31, 2006), a full-fledged economic recovery is expected to take more time.
Overseas, while economies are expected to remain stable in the meanwhile, the
futures of the European and American economies and political and economic
uncertainties in such emerging areas as BRICs are a cause for concern.
Against such a backdrop, the Ricoh Group has identified "Realization of TDV,
thereby broadening our revenue and earning framework" (increase volume and
improve value added per page) as the primary strategy under the 14th medium-term
management plan. As key strategies, we have set "Replacing monochrome products
with color models" "Increased sales of high-speed models" and "Provision of
printing solutions" Actions that the company has already taken include the
expansion of market share by continuously introducing new products, including
multifunction color models and color laser printers, and the expansion of
transactions with major accounts by providing a global customer service and
support system as a facet of printing solutions. The company intends to
reinforce the printer business with further contribution of Ricoh Printing
Systems, Ltd. the newly acquired printer company, and continue to reinforce the
printer business.
As customers needs have become increasingly diverse, they would be no longer
satisfied with merely purchasing products or services. The competition has also
become increasingly severe in the replacement of monochrome models with color
models and in providing business solutions. Although such major changes in the
market environment may seem like a formidable obstacle, the Ricoh Group sees
them as an ideal opportunity for expanding the earnings foundation. This is
because the group has sufficient ability and strength to meet such changes. By
exercising the ability to adapt to changing conditions, defining target areas,
further adding to the abilities and strengths, and striving to create new values
for customers, we will provide products and services that satisfy customer needs
ahead of the competition.
Based on this awareness, under the 15th medium-term management plan, that starts
from fiscal year 2006, we designated printing, emerging markets, and industrial
area as the three target areas for growth. In order for the Ricoh Group to
achieve growth and development with a focus on these growth areas, it is
essential that we boost our corporate competitiveness by creating new values for
customers and improving managerial efficiency. Our effort will also continue in
improving the management efficiency to enhance our profitability. Structural
reform will streamline operational processes and improve the earnings from each
project. Furthermore, we will more carefully select projects and concentrate
resources to the selected projects to improve managerial efficiency.
The profit generated from such activities will be aggressively allocated to
investments in growth areas and technologies to further increase profits and
raise corporate value.
Our performance forecast for fiscal 2006 is as follows:
Exchange Rate Assumptions for the full year ended March 31, 2006

7. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONSOLIDATED)
1. CHANGE RELATING TO THE SCALE OF CONSOLIDATION AND THE APPLICATION OF THE
EQUITY METHOD FROM APRIL 1, 2004 TO MARCH 31, 2005.
Consolidated subsidiaries:
15 additions including Ricoh Printing Systems, Ltd. and Shanghai Ricoh Digital
Equipment Co., Ltd.
51 removals including Hanimex Australasia Pty Ltd.
Companies accounted for by the equity method:
6 additions including Triangle Spirit Corporation
4 removals including Shanghai Ricoh Digital Equipment 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.
Certain overseas subsidiaries of the company changed their fiscal year end from
December 31 to March 31, at the beginning of fiscal 2005. As a result, retained
earnings increased by Yen 777 million and other comprehensive income (loss)
decreased by Yen 1,665 million.
(2) Securities
In conformity with SFAS No.115, securities are mainly classified as
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.
In March 2000, the Company contributed certain marketable equity securities, not
including those of its subsidiaries and affiliated companies, to its employee
retirement benefit trust (the "Trust") fully administered and controlled by an
independent bank trustee, with no cash proceeds thereon (the "2000 Transfer").
The 2000 Transfer of the available-for-sale securities was accounted for as a
sale in accordance with SFAS No.125, "Accounting for Transfer and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" and accordingly the
recorded pension liability was reduced by the fair market value amount of the
transferred securities. The fair value of these securities at the time of
transfer was Yen 20,760 million. The net unrealized gains on these
available-for-sale securities amounting to Yen 13,095 million and was initially
included in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" on the consolidated
balance sheets with the expectation of being reflected in realized gains in the
statements of income upon the future sale of the transferred securities by the
trustee.
In March 2004, the Company contributed certain additional marketable equity
securities, not including those of its subsidiaries and affiliated companies to
the Trust, with no cash proceeds thereon (the "2004 Transfer"). The fair value
and net unrealized gains on these available-for-sale securities at the time of
transfer was Yen 3,648 million and Yen 2,691 million, respectively.
In connection with the 2004 Transfer, the Company has changed its accounting
policy with respect to the recognition of unrealized gains and losses as
realized in the statements of income on transfers of such marketable equity
securities. The Company has concluded that it is preferable to recognize in the
statements of income unrealized gains or losses associated with marketable
equity securities transferred to the Trust when the Company has effectively
given up the economic rewards of ownership, that is, when the assets are no
longer considered corporate assets and when the Trust has the irrevocable and
unrestricted right to realize those benefits as and when it chooses. This
generally occurs at the time the assets are transferred to the Trust and not
upon future sale of the assets by the trustee provided.
Accordingly, the Company has recognized realized gains in the consolidated
statement of income on the transfer of marketable equity securities to the Trust
for fiscal 2004 of Yen 2,691 million. In addition, the Company has recognized in
its fiscal 2004 consolidated statement of income a cumulative effect of
accounting change, net of tax, of Yen 7,373 million associated with the 2000
Transfer.
(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."
24
(5) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In conformity with SFAS No.142, Goodwill and intangible asset determined to
have an indefinite useful life are not amortized. SFAS No. 142 requires annual
impairment testing thereof.
(6) Pension and Retirement Allowances Plans
The measurement of pension costs and liabilities is determined in accordance
with SFAS No.87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions." Under SFAS 87, changes
in the amount of either the projected benefit obligation or plan assets
resulting from actual results different from that assumed and from changes in
assumptions can result in gains and losses not yet recognized in the
consolidated financial statements. Amortization of an unrecognized net gain or
loss is included as a component of the net periodic benefit plan cost for a
year if, as of the beginning of the year, that unrecognized net gain or loss
exceeds 10 percent of the greater of (1) the projected benefit obligation or
(2) the fair value of that plan's assets. In such case, the amount of
amortization recognized is the resulting excess divided by the average
remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits
under the plan. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used for
pension accounting is determined based on the historical long-term rate of
return on plan assets. The discount rate is determined based on the rates of
return of high-quality fixed-income investments currently available and
expected to be available during the period to maturity of the pension
benefits.
Pursuant to the newly enacted Defined Payment Corporate Pension Act, Ricoh
received an approval of exemption from the Minister of Health, Labor and
Welfare, effective January 1, 2003, from the obligation for benefits related
to future employee service with respect to the substitutional portion of its
EPF. Ricoh received government approval of exemption from the obligation for
benefits related to past employee service in January 2004 with respect to the
substitutional portion of its domestic contributory plan. The transfer to the
government was completed on March 16, 2004.
Ricoh accounted for the transfer in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force
Issue No. 03-2 "Accounting for the Transfer to the Japanese Government of the
Substitutional Portion of Employee Pension Fund Liabilities ("EITF 03-2")". As
specified in EITF 03-2, the entire separation process is to be accounted for
at the time of completion of the transfer to the government of the
substitutional portion of the benefit obligation and related plan assets as a
settlement in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
88 "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit
Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits". As a result of the transfer,
Ricoh recognized net settlement gain of Yen 8,315 million for the year ended
March 31, 2004 and is presented net in operating expense.
(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 accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
(8) Reclassification to Prior Years' Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet for the year ended March 31, 2004,
reflects the reclassification of finance receivables expected to be collected
within one year from the balance sheet date, or the current portion,
previously included in investments and other assets to current assets to
conform with the presentation used for the year ended March 31, 2005. The
effect of this reclassification was to increase total current assets by
Yen 154,122 million from Yen 871,817 million to Yen 1,025,939 million at March
31, 2004.
