To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Eastman Kodak Company
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements on pages 40 through 77 of this Annual Report present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eastman
Kodak Company and subsidiary companies (the Company) at
December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'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 auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, which require
that 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.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," and No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets," on January 1, 2002.
