NOTE 20: ACQUISITIONS, JOINT VENTURES AND BUSINESS VENTURES

2002
On January 24, 2002, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the voting common stock of ENCAD, Inc., (ENCAD) for a total purchase price of approximately $25 million. The purchase price was paid almost entirely in Kodak common stock. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired of approximately $6 million has been allocated to goodwill. On December 17, 2002, it was announced that ENCAD will become part of the newly formed components group along with the document scanner and microfilm businesses. The formation of the components group will build a stronger equipment and consumables business within the Commercial Imaging segment by consolidating those product lines that utilize a two tier, indirect sales and distribution channel. Earnings from continuing operations for 2002 include the results of ENCAD from the date of acquisition.

On September 11, 2002, the Company initiated an offer to acquire all of the outstanding minority equity interests in Kodak India Ltd., (Kodak India) a majority owned subsidiary of the Company. The voluntary offer to the minority equity interest holders of Kodak India was for the acquisition of approximately 2.8 million shares representing the full 25.24% minority ownership in the subsidiary. In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company purchased the 2.1 million shares that had been tendered to date for approximately $16 million in cash. Due to the timing of this acquisition, the purchase price allocation was not complete as of December 31, 2002. Accordingly, the purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired of approximately $8 million has been recorded in other long-term assets. The purchase price allocation will be completed in the first quarter of 2003 at which time the excess purchase price will be allocated to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. In December 2002, the Company made an offer to purchase the remaining 6.04% outstanding minority interest in Kodak India for approximately $4.9 million. Kodak India operated in each of the Company's reportable segments and is engaged in the manufacture, trading and marketing of cameras, films, photo chemicals and other imaging products.

On December 31, 2002, an unaffiliated investor in one of Kodak's China subsidiaries exercised its rights under a put option arrangement, which required Kodak to repurchase a 10% outstanding minority equity interest in this subsidiary for approximately $44 million in cash. Due to the timing of this acquisition, the purchase price allocation was not complete as of December 31, 2002. Accordingly, the purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired of approximately $18 million has been recorded in other long-term assets. The purchase price allocation will be completed in the first quarter of 2003 at which time the excess purchase price will be allocated to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets.

During 2002, the Company completed a number of additional acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $14 million, which were individually immaterial to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2001
On December 4, 2001, the Company and SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. announced the formation of a global business venture, the SK Display Corporation, to manufacture organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays for consumer devices such as cameras, personal data assistants (PDAs), and portable entertainment machines. Kodak has a 34% interest in the business venture and will contribute approximately $16 million in cash in 2003 and is committed to contribute $100 million in loan guarantees. However, the Company was not required to make these loan guarantees as of December 31, 2002.

The acquisition of Ofoto will accelerate Kodak's growth in the online photography market and help drive more rapid adoption of digital and online services. Ofoto offers digital processing of digital images and traditional film, top-quality prints, private online image storage, sharing, editing and creative tools, frames, cards and other merchandise.

On February 7, 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all of the imaging services operations of Bell & Howell Company.
