XEROX CORPORATION SAVINGS PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2003 (1) Description of the Plan The following description of the Xerox Corporation Savings Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the summary plan description and the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. (a) General The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all full and part-time U.S. employees of Xerox Corporation (the "Company") and participating subsidiaries, except those covered by a collective bargaining agreement unless that agreement calls for participation in the Plan. Employees are automatically eligible to participate in the Plan upon date of hire. (b) Contributions Subject to limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), eligible employees may contribute up to 80% of pay (as defined in the Plan) through a combination of before-tax and after-tax payroll deductions. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company shall make contributions on behalf of the Participants of an amount equal to 50% of the amount of the employee before-tax savings contributions (up to 6%), which equals a maximum match of 3% of annual pay up to the IRS 401(k) elective deferral limit. (c) Vesting of Benefits Participants are vested immediately in employee and employer contributions and actual earnings thereon. (d) Payment of Benefits Upon termination of service, a participant may elect to defer receipt of benefits or receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of his or her account. (e) Investment Options Plan participants are able to direct the investment of their Plan holdings (employer and employee contributions) into various investment options as offered under the Plan on a daily basis. The investment options consist of three tiers of funds (Tier I, II, and III); each tier consists of several underlying funds with various levels of market risk and returns. The options consist of several balanced funds, a company stock fund, several other stock funds, a bond fund, and a marketplace window (mutual funds). (f) Participant Loans Participants are permitted to borrow from their accounts subject to limitations set forth in the plan document. The loans are payable over terms up to 14.5 years and bear interest at the quarterly Citibank commercial prime rate in effect at the time of loan issuance plus 1%. Principal and interest payments on the loans are redeposited into the participants' accounts based on their current investment allocation elections. Interest rates ranged from 5.00% to 11.5% at December 31, 2003. (g) Administration The Company is responsible for the general administration of the Plan and for carrying out the Plan provisions. The trustee of the Plan is State Street Bank and Trust Company (the "Trustee"). Hewitt Associates ("the Recordkeeper") is the recordkeeper of the Plan. (h) Plan Termination The Plan was established with the expectation that it will continue indefinitely, however, the Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. (i) Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal year 2002 balances to conform with current year presentation. XEROX CORPORATION SAVINGS PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2003 (2) Summary of Accounting Principles and Practices (a) Basis of Accounting The Plan's financial statements are prepared under the accrual basis of accounting. (b) Benefit Payments Benefit payments are recorded when paid. (c) Contributions Contributions are recorded when withheld from participants' pay. (d) Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. (e) Basis of Presentation The assets of the Plan are held in the Xerox Corporation Trust Agreement to Fund Retirement Plans (the "Master Trust"). The value of the Plan's interest in the Master Trust is based on the beginning of year value of the Plan's interest in the trust, plus actual contributions and investment income (loss) based on participant account balances, less actual distribution and allocated administrative expenses. For financial reporting purposes, income on plan assets and any realized or unrealized gains or losses on such assets and expenses in the Master Trust are allocated to the Plan based on participant account balances. The Master Trust holds assets for other Company-sponsored plans, some of which may be defined contribution plans and some defined benefit plans. Because the Plan's interest in the Master Trust is based on participant investment options there are certain Master Trust investments in which the Plan does not invest. (f) Valuation of Investments/Investment Income The Plan's investment in the Master Trust is recorded at an amount equal to the Plan's interest in the underlying investments of the Master Trust. Investments of the Master Trust are stated at fair value. Common shares are valued based on quoted market prices. Registered investment companies and bank collective investment funds are valued based on net asset value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Participant notes receivable are valued at cost which approximates fair value. (g) Administrative Expenses Certain administrative expenses such as, Trustee, custodian and investment manager fees are paid by the Master Trust and are net against Master Trust investment income (loss). Certain other administrative expenses are paid by the Company. (h) Risks and Uncertainties Investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate and market. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that the changes in risks in the near term would materially affect the amount reported in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits. XEROX CORPORATION SAVINGS PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2003 (3) Federal Income Tax Status The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated August 28, 2002, covering Plan amendments through October 30, 2001, that the Plan and related Master Trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. (4) Master Trust As discussed in Note 2, the Plan participates in the Master Trust. The Trustee holds the Master Trust's investment assets, provides administrative functions for each of the Plans participating in the Master Trust, and executes investment transactions as directed by participants. The following Xerox employee benefit plans represent the following percentages in the net assets of the Master Trust as of December 31:
2003 2002 Xerox Corporation Savings Plan 46.5% 44.8% The Savings Plan of Xerox Corporation and the Xerographic Division, Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees, A.F.L. - C.I.O. - C.L.C. 3.1% 3.2% Xerox Corporation Retirement Income Guarantee Plan 46.8% 48.0% Retirement Income Guarantee Plan of Xerox Corporation and the Xerographic Division, Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees, A.F.L. - C.I.O. - C.L.C. 3.6% 4.0%

The Finance Committee of the Xerox Board of Directors approves the overall investment strategy for the Master Trust investments, including the broad guidelines under which they are managed. As of December 31, 2003, the Finance Committee consisted of four members of the Xerox Corporation Board of Directors, none of whom are officers of Xerox Corporation. The Xerox Corporate Treasurer chairs the Fiduciary Investment Review Committee, which is composed of corporate officers who oversee the management of the funds on a regular basis. As of October 26, 2001, Xerox retained General Motors Asset Management and its affiliates to provide investment services to this plan, including investment management, asset allocation, research, and the selection, evaluation, and monitoring of investment managers. XEROX CORPORATION SAVINGS PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2003 During 2003, the Master Trust's investments (including investments bought, sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated/(depreciated) in value as follows (in thousands):
December 31, 2003 Investments at quoted market value: Short-term and fixed income investments $ 68,218 Xerox stock 158,336 Registered investment companies 54,867 Common and preferred stock 273,924 Common collective trusts 920,177 Investments at estimated fair value: Interest in real estate trusts (672) Interest in other investments (848) Net appreciation $1,474,002
(5) Related Party Transactions The Plan invests in a unitized stock fund, The Xerox Stock Fund (the "Fund"), which is primarily comprised of Xerox Corporation common shares. The unit values of the Fund are recorded and maintained by the Trustee. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Plan purchased common shares in the Fund in the approximate amount of $47,381,782, sold common shares in the Fund in the approximate amount of $75,320,937, and had net appreciation in the Fund of approximately $146,381,481. The total value of the Plan's investment in the Fund was approximately $336,721,058 and $219,563,700 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These transactions, as well as participant loans, qualify as party-in-interest transactions. In addition, certain funds are managed by an affiliate of the Trustee and therefore qualify as party-in-interest transactions. (6) Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Plan enters into agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Plan's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Plan that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Plan expects the risk of loss to be remote.

*Party-in-interest. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Participants and Administrator of Xerox Corporation Savings Plan: In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Xerox Corporation Savings Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Stamford, Connecticut June 18, 2004
