Policies and Performance 1. Policies 1. Basic Management The vision of Ricoh Group (“Ricoh”) is to be a winner in the 21st century. Under that banner, we aim to retain customer and community trust, secure top market shares by building new value, and become an outstanding global business that is highly influential within the industries in which we operate. To help raise office productivity, we have centered our business domains on the concept of "Image Communication," through which we globally offer products and services that customers truly need. Our 13th medium-term management plan, a three-year initiative that ended in March 2002, had three prime objectives for the entire Ricoh: i. Renovation of group management with the aim of increasing corporate value ii Reform of business and profitability Structure with the aim of maintaining steady growth iii. Reinforcement of cash flow management and realization of low cost business structure This fiscal term is the last year of the management plan, and we strove to achieve these objectives on a whole group basis. 2. Dividend Policy Ricoh endeavors to ensure stable dividends by boosting 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. 3. Thinking and Policies on Reducing Minimal Investment Lots 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. 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. 4. Medium- and Long-Term Management Strategies and Management Structure Initiatives Ricoh's prime management priority in building corporate value is to improve customer satisfaction, which is at the heart of management strategies and policies. The J.D. Power Asia Pacific survey has placed Ricoh first in customer satisfaction among Japanese copier makers for the seventh year running. This heightened profile helped generate the solid results of recent years. Ricoh has restructured so it can keep expanding corporate value. As part of that effort, it instituted an executive officer system, under which it transferred considerable authority and responsibility to individual businesses. It also appointed external directors to the board. Our basic strategies for delivering growth are to: - Expand our market share in networked systems - Deploy printing solutions - Strengthen our operations in five key regional markets worldwide (Japan, the Americas, Europe, Asia and Oceania, and China) In expanding our share of the networked imaging equipment market, we have focused on meeting demand for speed and sophisticated networking. Several key models have been particularly well received. Among them are low-cost, fast digital copiers like the Imagio MF8570 (sold as the Aficio 850 overseas) and the MF105 Pro (Aficio 1050). The growing popularity of our digital offerings has helped us improve our position in the market for high-speed models. We have also done extremely well in Japan and abroad with the Imagio Neo 350/450 (Aficio 1035/1045). This new generation of copiers makes it simple to digitalize, store, and retrieve documents, and has helped us keep and extend our lead in the market for digital copiers including multifunctional printers (MFPs). Imagio Neo series machines are based on the Ricoh Document Highway concept, a common software platform that lets users link equipment and applications as they desire, and is compatible with the Ridoc Document System, a -1- Ricoh Co., Ltd. Flash Report Year ended March 31, 2002 user-friendly setup that enhances document management. We have sold many of these machines packaged with solutions software, which has contributed greatly to performance. The Imagio Neo series includes everything from low-end models that provide information technology support for small and medium-sized offices to high-speed offerings that function as central office machines. With demand for color equipment surging, we have enjoyed excellent sales of the IPSiO Color 8000 (Aficio AP3800C), a printer that offers output speeds and pricing comparable to monochrome platforms. This offering has reinforced our No. 1 share of the domestic color laser market while helping us bolster our presence internationally. Over the past few years, customers have shifted swiftly away from standalone machines toward networkable equipment and supporting software and services. They increasingly seek new solutions that lower the total cost of ownership and streamline office work. Ricoh responded swiftly to this trend in Japan by establishing five regional headquarters, in the Tohoku, Chubu, Kansai, Chugoku, and Kyushu areas. Such a setup can help us spread our solutions expertise and support capabilities regionally while consolidating the peripheral operations of regional sales companies, thereby lowering Group costs. To strengthen global operations, we built an international direct sales network. The latest component of this setup is Lanier Worldwide, Inc., which we acquired in January 2001. This subsidiary sells and services imaging and other office equipment in the United States and Europe. This purchase helped us step up our drive to become a global solutions provider, cultivating large corporations and other new customers, which led us to increase sales of networked and solutions products. Ricoh has taken various steps to build a high-efficiency, low-cost operating structure to overcome the challenges of deflation. We are working intensively on our supply chain management system to improve customer satisfaction while enhancing cash flow. We have also instituted programs to overhaul revenue and earnings structures for everything from Group sales, and development to production and peripheral operations. 5. Challenges Our 13th medium-term management plan was instrumental in allowing us to deliver such solid results. That said, we consider it crucial to keep responding to the growing sophistication of customer needs and intensifying competition in adverse economic conditions. It will be particularly important to better identify underlying demand. As well as helping improve customer productivity and cutting costs, we will concentrate on exploring issues that existing customers have yet to consider while doing even more to seek solutions with our customers. To those ends, we intend to deliver new value for customers through our customer satisfaction-oriented management and efforts to reinforce our technological capabilities. Ricoh has already earned top marks from third-party organizations for its environmental initiatives, and considers it imperative to continue championing the environment. In line with that goal, we have instituted the Ricoh Action Plan for fiscal 2002 through 2004, which builds on the achievement of its preceding three-year plan. Under this new initiative, we aim to go beyond responding to environmental issues and safeguarding the environment to generate profits through our environmental management program. The next fiscal term is the first year of our 14th medium-term management plan (April 2002 through March 2005), another three-year effort, and will focus on pursuing and building on the reforms of the 13th plan. In other words, we will strive to reinforce our technological base so we can become the world's best manufacturer as a winner in the 21st century. We will also change our business focus from merely being a producer to become a solutions provider. At the same time, we will strive companywide to cultivate the human resources needed for such a transformation. In the years ahead, we will endeavor to contribute both to our communities and the environment as part of our social mission while continuing to achieve high levels of trust from our customers and other stakeholders and delivering new value. -2- Ricoh Co., Ltd.

Flash Report Year ended March 31, 2002 *Overview - In fiscal 2002, ended March 31, 2002, Ricoh increased consolidated net sales 8.7%, to ¥1,672.3 billion. It was an eighth consecutive growth. The increase would have been 4.0% without the foreign exchange impact. - Domestic sales were off 3.0%. Although sales of printing systems increased 28.6%, other products area was down due to a downturn in the Japanese economy, as well as constrained corporate information technology capital expenditure. In contrast, overseas sales gained 26.6%, despite the uncertainty posed by the U.S. economy, and so on.. The main factors were that demand remained solid for core digital imaging and printing systems, as well as new subsidiary Lanier Worldwide, Inc. and contributions from the low yen. Overseas sales would have improved 14.6% without the exchange rate impact. - Operating income was up 23.4%. This stemmed mainly from rising sales of core digital plain-paper copiers (PPCs), MFPs, and other high-value-added offerings, the fruits of ongoing cost-cutting initiatives, and the yen's depreciation. Net other expenses increased owing to lower interest and dividend income amid lackluster financial markets, higher foreign currency losses, and rises in other costs. Income before income taxes thereby improved 16.6%. - As a result of these factors, net income advanced 15.8%-a 10th consecutive gain. - Cash dividends per share of common stock were up ¥1.00, to ¥13.00. This reflected a ¥6.00 interim dividend and a ¥7.00 year-end dividend that was ¥1.00 higher than the previous year. *Financial Position - Ricoh is enhancing its cash flow management efforts to expand free cash flow and continually strengthen its financial position. - At the close of fiscal 2002, higher net income and depreciation and amortization added ¥135.4 billion to cash flows from operating activities, up ¥20.0 billion from the previous fiscal year. Changes in assets and liabilities included ¥17.2 billion allocated in preparation for the maturity of Ricoh's sixth and eighth convertible bonds by year-end. Changes would have been as in the previous fiscal year if not for this factor. Most of those bonds were converted upon maturity. Thus, net cash provided by operating activities increased to ¥105.1 billion. - During the term, Ricoh invested ¥75.2 billion to set up new manufacturing lines and develop new products. Holdings of available-for-sale securities fell ¥30.1 billion owing to changes in the Ricoh's investment approach, however the investment is properly controlled in the cash account. As a result of these and other miscellaneous factors, net cash used in investing activities dropped to ¥65.7 billion. - Consequently, the free cash flow generated by operating and investing activities increased to ¥39.3 billion. - In the year under review, Ricoh endeavored to cut interest-bearing debt in Japan and abroad while securing funds for future expansion through its fourth and fifth straight bond issues, worth ¥35 billion and ¥25 billion, respectively. Owing to these factors and the payment of cash dividends, net cash used in financing activities increased to ¥36.2 billion. - Thus, cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year were up ¥78.0 billion, to ¥142.5 billion. -5- Ricoh Co., Ltd.

Flash Report Year ended March 31, 2002 *Consolidated Sales by Category Imaging Solutions (sales up 7.7%, to ¥934.1 billion) *Digital Imaging Solutions (sales up 14.0%, to ¥654.4 billion) In core digital PPCs, Ricoh strengthened its lineup with new offerings covering all segments of the market, from the low-end Imagio MF1340/1540 (Aficio 1013/1015) to the high speed Imagio MF105Pro (Aficio 1050). Domestic sales were down owing to the Japanese recession and declining demand. However, overseas sales soared for digital PPCs, with color models also enjoying gains. *Other Imaging Solutions (sales down 4.5%, to ¥279.7 billion) The sales decline reflected a shift from analog PPCs to digital models offering superior expandability and functions. Network Input/Output Systems (sales up 31.5%, to ¥344.2 billion) *Printing Systems (sales up 37.7%, to ¥299.2 billion) In Japan and overseas, the focus of customer demand continued to shift toward speed, networking, saving of the total costs of ownership and office productivity enhancement. Ricoh responded to those trends by releasing several MFPs that streamline document input/output, sharing, and storage, notably the Imagio Neo 220/270(Aficio 1022/1027) and the Imagio Neo 750/600. Ricoh augmented its very popular IPSiO Color 8000 (Aficio AP3800C), a fast, high-resolution color printer, with such models as the IPSiO Color 8150, which centralizes the management of color documents, and the affordable IPSiO Color 1600 color laser printer. These new offerings formed part of a groupwide drive to increase printer sales and strengthen printing solutions capabilities. *Other Input/Output Systems (sales up 1.1%, to ¥45.0 billion) Sales of this category were up only slightly owing to a switch to new standards in optical disc-related products. Network System Solutions (sales down 1.2%, to ¥206.9 billion) Ricoh has focused increasingly on useware, document management, and other solutions businesses in response to a shift in customer demand away from standalone models toward networked hardware, software, and services. Nonetheless, sales of network equipment in this category declined due to sales down of personal computers and servers owing to constrained corporate spending on information technology in Japan. Other Businesses (sales down 6.5%, to ¥186.9 billion) Sales declined in this category mainly because of falling demand for semiconductors, particularly for large-scale integrated circuits used in mobile communications equipment. Sales of metering equipment was again sluggish, reflecting stagnant demand.

Flash Report Year ended March 31, 2002 * Consolidated Sales by Geographic Area Japan (sales up 3.0%, to ¥902.6 billion) The Japanese economy remained in recession during the year, causing companies to restrain information technology spending and restructure. In this circumnstances, Ricoh increased sales of printing systems by 28.6%. MFPs performed particularly well, reflecting launches of offerings that meet customer needs and expanded marketing. On the other hand, sales declined for such offerings as analog PPCs, facsimile machines, personal computers, and servers. Overall office equipment sales thus decreased 2.0%. Including semiconductors and metering equipment, sales in Japan were off 3.0%. The Americas (sales up 35.2%, to ¥341.7 billion) Ricoh offset the effects of lower capital expenditure and an economic slowdown in the United States by expanding and reinforcing its sales networks, particularly in the North American market, thus increasing sales of core digital PPCs and MFPs. Lanier Worldwide, which Ricoh acquired in the previous fiscal year, contributed significantly to results through a successful strategy of expanding digital equipment and strengthening sales to major account clients. Europe (sales up 25.8%, to ¥311.3 billion) Ricoh's multibrand strategy continued to go from strength to strength in a European market that remained basically stable during the term, with the Company maintaining top market shares in both digital PPCs and MFPs. Others (sales up 8.3%, to ¥116.6 billion) Sales benefited from Ricoh's shift to digital and networked models. Ricoh aims to take advantage of China's admission to the World Trade Organization and that nation's deregulation and initiatives to open its market by strengthening its local sales network.

Sales and operating income in this segment also benefited from the yen's depreciation. Ricoh increased capital spending, especially in research and development. In addition, total assets increased owing to the lower yen, which overshadowed efforts to reduce inventories in Japan and overseas.

The Americas Despite a U.S. economic slowdown and intensified competition, Ricoh was able to expand existing sales channels. At the same time, subsidiary Lanier Worldwide bore fruit with its strategy of bolstering sales of digital equipment and stepping up sales to major accounts. As a result, both segment sales and operating income improved. Europe Operating costs rose temporarily during the term owing to expenses associated with production changeovers to new models. Nonetheless, Ricoh continued to deliver favorable sales growth, centered on digital PPCs and MFPs, leading to gains in regional sales and operating income.

Flash Report Year ended March 31, 2002 9. Significant Accounting Policies (Consolidated) 1. Items relating to the scale of consolidation and the application of the equity method Consolidated subsidiaries: 18 additions including Ricoh Tohoku Co., Ltd. Ricoh Chubu Co., Ltd. Ricoh Kansai Co., Ltd. Ricoh Chugoku Co., Ltd. and Ricoh Kyushu Co., Ltd. 5 removals including Higashi Shizuoka Ricoh Co., Ltd. Companies accounted for by the equity method: 6 additions including Tohoku Ricoh (Fuzhon) Printing Products Co., Ltd. 5 removals including NRG Singapore Pte. Ltd. 2. Consolidated Accounting Policies (1) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ricoh. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in affiliated companies are accounted for on the equity basis. (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 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 Ricoh has classified as goodwill the cost in excess of fair value of the net assets of major companies acquired in purchase transactions. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line method over the estimated periods benefited, not to exceed 20 years. (6) 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, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates. -25- Ricoh Co., Ltd. Flash Report Year ended March 31, 2002 10.

(2) Pension and Retirement Allowances Plans The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have various trusteed contributory and noncontributory employees pension fund ("EPF") plans covering substantially all of their employees. Under the plans, employees are entitled to lump-sum payments at the time of termination or retirement, or to pension payments. Under the terms of the domestic EPF plan, the Government welfare pension insurance benefit is substituted and commingled with the primary benefit provided by the plan. The amounts of lump-sum or pension payments under the plans are generally determined on the basis of length of service and remuneration at the time of termination. It is the Company’s policy to fund amounts required to maintain sufficient plan assets to provide for accrued benefits based on a certain percentage of wage and salary costs. The plan assets consist principally of interest-bearing bonds and listed equity securities. The discount rates and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of the pension plans in fiscal 2000 and 2001 were as follows: (%) Actuarial assumptions: Discount rate .......................................................................................... Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets.................................... -26- Year ended March 31, 2002 Year ended March 31, 2001 2.8 ~ 7.25 1.5 ~ 9.0 3.0 ~ 7.75 4.5 ~ 9.0 Ricoh Co., Ltd. Flash Report Year ended March 31, 2002 (3) Derivative The Company and certain of its subsidiaries enter into various financial instrument contracts in the normal course of business and in connection with the management of their assets and liabilities. From fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Statement No. 138, based on which changes in the fair values of all derivative instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries enter into foreign currency contracts and foreign currency options to hedge assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Ricoh enters into interest rate swap agreements to reduce interest rate risk and the fair value of the principal on its outstanding debt and to lower the risks of cash flow fluctuations. Most of these agreements are designated as fair value hedges and cash flow hedges in line with FASB Statement No. 133. Fluctuations in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges are recorded as other income (expenses) in the consolidated statements of income. These amounts did not materially affect Ricoh's consolidated results of operations in the fiscal year ended March 31,2002. Fluctuations in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets. They are transferred to the consolidated statements of income once interest for the hedged loans are accrued. Of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of March 31, 2002, Ricoh expects to recognize -¥18 million in the consolidated statements of income within the following 12 months. These derivative instruments exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. However, these counterparties are financial institutions with high credit ratings, so Ricoh deems the credit risk negligible. The Company has optimally concentrated credit risk by diversifying its dealings with counterparties. The outstanding agreements, carrying amount and estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments as of March 31,2001, and March 31, 2002 are as follows: Year ended March 31, 2002 (Millions of yen) Carrying amount Estimated Fair value Interest rate swap agreements, net ...........................................

Flash Report Year ended March 31, 2002 Significant Accounting Policies (Nonconsolidated) 1. Accounting policy for assets (1) Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost. (2) Securities i. Securities of subsidiaries and affiliates are stated at moving average cost. ii. Other securities: Marketable securities are marked to market based on the market price at the end of the term and other factors (accounting for all valuation differences with the full capital injection method; the cost of securities sold is valued at moving average cost). Non-marketable securities are stated at cost based on the moving average method. (3) Derivatives are stated at market value. 2. Depreciation of fixed assets (1) Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are depreciated using the declining balance method. For buildings (excluding fixtures) secured on and after April 1, 1998, however, Ricoh uses straight-line depreciation as governed by corporate tax law. The depreciation periods are basically as the below; Buildings: 5-50 years Machinery and equipment: 2-12 years (2) Intangible Fixed Assets Ricoh uses straight-line depreciation for intangible fixed assets. With software for sale in the marketplace, however, the Company records the larger of a depreciation based on projected sales profits or a uniform depreciation based on a projected effective sales period for the balance. The initially projected effective sale term is three years. With software for internal use, the Company uses straight-line depreciation based on a usable period of five years. 3. Deferred assets Bond issuance costs are expensed when they are accrued. 4. Basis for provision of reserves (1) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts is provided to cover possible losses from bad debts and represents possible individual doubtful accounts based on historical default rates and the potential for irrecoverableness. (2) Reserve for Accrued Bonuses The reserve for accrued bonuses is provided by estimating the amount of bonuses payable to employees for the current financial year under our corporate rules for calculating such bonus payment. (3) Warranty reserve To cover product after-sales service expenses, the Company calculates the product warranty reserve based on projected service costs during warrantee terms. (4) Reserve for Retirement Benefit Obligations To cover projected employee benefits, the Company records the estimated obligations at the end of the current fiscal year based on projected year-end benefit obligations and plan assets. The Company uses straight-line depreciation for actuarial gains or losses over averaged remaining employment term. (15 years) (5) Reserve for Directors’ Retirement Allowances At year-end, Ricoh calculates the amounts required under internal rules to pay directors retirement allowances. 5. Leasing Finance leases for which ownership does not transfer to lessees are accounted for as operating leases. 6. Hedge accounting (1) Hedge Accounting Methods Ricoh accounts for hedges at market value. With currency swaps, however, the Company hedges by assigning transactions that meet assignment requirements. (2) Hedging Instruments and Targets Hedging Instruments…Derivative transactions (for currency swaps and exchange contracts) Hedging Targets…Transactions for which losses may arise from market fluctuations or for which market fluctuations may affect valuations. (3) Hedging policies -33- Ricoh Co., Ltd. Flash Report Year ended March 31, 2002 In keeping with its internal Market Risk Management Rules, Ricoh uses derivatives to manage the exposure of its assets and liabilities to market fluctuations. (4) Hedge Effectiveness Ricoh assesses the effectiveness of hedges by analyzing the ratios of the total market fluctuations of hedged targets and instruments. 7. Consumption taxes Consumption taxes are excluded from revenues and expenses. The refundable consumption tax at the end of the year is included in “Others” in the balance sheets, after offsetting suspense payments and receipt of consumption taxes and etc. Additional Information Treasury stock in the current assets last fiscal year is stated separately in the Shareholders’ equity from this year in accordance with Japanese regulations change. -34- Ricoh Co., Ltd.
