Fuji Xerox
Fuji Xerox is headquartered in Tokyo and operates in Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam and other areas of the Pacific Rim. Our investment in Fuji Xerox of $1,366 at December 31, 2017, differs from our implied 25% interest in the underlying net assets, or $1,455, due primarily to our deferral of gains resulting from sales of assets by us to Fuji Xerox.
Equity in net income of Fuji Xerox is affected by certain adjustments to reflect the deferral of profit associated with intercompany sales. These adjustments may result in recorded equity income that is different from that implied by our 25% ownership interest.
Refer to Note 2 - Correction of Fuji Xerox Misstatement in Prior Period Financial Statements for additional information regarding the results of a review of accounting practices at Fuji Xerox and the associated impact of adjustments from that review on previously reported Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates. The 2016 and 2015 summarized financial information below for Fuji Xerox has likewise been revised accordingly to reflect the impact of those adjustments.
