7 THE PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF XEROX CORPORATION AND THE XEROGRAPHIC DIVISION, UNION OF NEEDLETRADES, INDUSTRIAL AND TEXTILE EMPLOYEES, A.F.L. - C.I.O. - C.L.C. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1996 and 1995 (1) Description of Plan The following description of the Profit Sharing and 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. (Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the summary plan description or plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. General The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all domestic full and part-time Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees, A.F.L. - C.I.O. - C.L.C. employees of Xerox Corporation (sponsor). Employees hired on or before the first working day in July are eligible to participate in the Plan immediately. Otherwise, employees are eligible to participate beginning on the next January 1. Payments of Benefits Upon termination of service, a participant may elect to receive either a lump sum amount equal to the value of his or her account, or may purchase an annuity payable from a life insurance company. Amounts allocated to participants who have elected to withdraw from the Plan but have not been paid are $122,742 and $1,875,933 at December 31, 1996 and 1995 respectively. Employee Savings Contributions Subject to limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, eligible employees may contribute up to 18% of pay (as defined in the Plan) through a combination of before-tax and after-tax payroll deductions. (The maximum before-tax contribution for the 1996 calendar year is $9,500.) Employees are immediately vested in their savings contributions. Xerox Corporation matches 35% of employee savings contributions, up to a maximum match equaling 4% of annual pay. These contributions are made annually to eligible participants of record on the last day of February following the Plan year-end. The 1996 contribution will be recorded in the 1997 financial statements. 8 THE PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF XEROX CORPORATION AND THE XEROGRAPHIC DIVISION, UNION OF NEEDLETRADES, INDUSTRIAL AND TEXTILE EMPLOYEES, A.F.L. - C.I.O. - C.L.C. Notes to Financial Statements (1) Description of Plan (continued) Xerox Optional Profit Sharing Contributions Eligible employees may receive an optional profit sharing contribution from the sponsor. The contribution ranges from zero to 10% of pay and is based upon the return on assets (ROA) of the Xerox Document Processing industry segment as defined in the Plan document and the participant's length of service. An employee may receive the contribution in cash or Xerox Corporation common stock, or may elect to invest all or part of the contribution on a tax deferred basis, subject to limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, through the Plan's investment funds. Employees are immediately vested in optional profit sharing contributions. During 1996, the sponsor's ROA was 17.8%, which resulted in an optional profit sharing contribution for all eligible active employees at December 31, 1996 equal to 10.0% of pay or $20,644,353. Participants elected to invest $3,077,165 into the Plan at December 31, 1996. During 1995, the sponsor's ROA was 18.5%, which resulted in an optional profit sharing contribution for all eligible active employees at December 31, 1995 equal to 10.0% of pay or $21,672,430. Participants elected to invest $2,922,024 into the Plan at December 31, 1995. Investment Funds As further described in note 3, the investment funds are part of the Xerox Trust Agreement to Fund Retirement Plans (Master Trust). Employees can direct their plan accounts to one or more of the following six investment funds: International Stock Fund -- Invests primarily in stocks of companies based outside of the United States. U.S. Stock Fund -- Invests primarily in stocks of medium to large U.S. companies. 9 THE PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF XEROX CORPORATION AND THE XEROGRAPHIC DIVISION, UNION OF NEEDLETRADES, INDUSTRIAL AND TEXTILE EMPLOYEES, A.F.L. - C.I.O. - C.L.C. Notes to Financial Statements (1) Description of Plan (continued) Small Company Stock Fund -- Invests primarily in stocks of smaller U.S. companies that fund managers believe have greater value than indicated by the current market price, or above average prospects for long-term growth. Balanced Fund -- Under normal market conditions, invests approximately 70% in stocks; most of the remainder in bonds; some real estate, private placements, and cash. The mix may shift with market outlook. Income Fund -- Invests in contracts with insurance companies and banks; short to intermediate duration, high-quality bonds. Xerox Stock Fund -- Invests in Xerox Corporation common stock and cash for administrative purposes. Segregated Assets Fund This fund was established on April 1, 1991 and represented participant investments in certain guaranteed investment contracts which were segregated and frozen. See note 4 to the financial statements for further discussion. Employee Loan Fund Participants are permitted to borrow from their profit sharing savings accounts subject to certain limitations. 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. At December 31, 1996, market value on loans approximates fair value. Loan issuances net of principal repayments on outstanding loans are reflected as a transfer among funds in the statement of changes of net assets available for benefits. (2) Federal Income Taxes The Plan obtained its latest determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on September 8, 1995, covering Plan amendments through December 31, 1994, indicating that the Plan, as designed, was in compliance 10 THE PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF XEROX CORPORATION AND THE XEROGRAPHIC DIVISION, UNION OF NEEDLETRADES, INDUSTRIAL AND TEXTILE EMPLOYEES, A.F.L. - C.I.O. - C.L.C. Notes to Financial Statements (2) Federal Income Taxes (continued) with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan Administrator and the Plan's internal tax counsel believe that the Plan, as currently designed and operated, is in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, they believe that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date. As long as the Plan continues to be qualified under present federal income tax laws and regulations, participants will not be taxed on company contributions or on investment earnings on such contributions at the time such contributions and investment earnings are received by the trustee under the Plan, but may be subject to tax thereon at such time as they receive distributions under the Plan. (3) Master Trust As discussed in note 1, the Plan participates in the Master Trust. The following other Xerox employee benefit plans also participate in the Master Trust as of December 31, 1996: Xerox Corporation Profit Sharing and Savings Plan; Xerox Corporation Retirement Income Guarantee Plan; 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.; and XDS Investment Plan. The Master Trust has six investment pools -- the International Stock Pool, U.S. Stock Pool, Small Company Stock Pool, All Other Pool, Income Fund, and the Xerox Stock Fund. Participants direct their accounts into investment funds, as described in note 1, which participate in the aforementioned investment pools. Each of the plans has an ownership interest in one or more of these investment pools in accordance with that interest as determined by participant fund elections. In addition, prior to December 31, 1996, there was a Segregated Assets Fund which is discussed in note 4. 11 THE PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF XEROX CORPORATION AND THE XEROGRAPHIC DIVISION, UNION OF NEEDLETRADES, INDUSTRIAL AND TEXTILE EMPLOYEES, A.F.L. - C.I.O. - C.L.C.

23 THE PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF XEROX CORPORATION AND THE XEROGRAPHIC DIVISION, UNION OF NEEDLETRADES, INDUSTRIAL AND TEXTILE EMPLOYEES, A.F.L. - C.I.O. - C.L.C. Notes to Financial Statements (3) Master Trust (continued) With respect to the Plan, the Joint Administrative Board (JAB) is responsible for establishing investment guidelines, reviewing the investment decisions and reviewing investment results. The JAB consists at present of five Xerox Corporation representatives and five union representatives. Marketable securities are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the year. Quotations are obtained from national securities exchanges or, in instances where securities are not listed on any of the exchanges, quotations are obtained from brokerage firms. Non-readily marketable investments, which include private placements, are carried at fair value, based on the cost of the investments, developments concerning the portfolio investments of the private placements, and such other factors as the managing general partners of these investments may deem relevant. The valuations do not necessarily represent amounts which might ultimately be realized from the investments. The value of the investment contracts with insurance companies and banks is at contract value, which approximates fair value. In connection with the investment contracts, all of which are fully benefit-responsive, the following information is presented: (i) The average investment yields for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were 7.3% and 6.9%, respectively. (ii) The crediting interest rates at December 31, 1996 and 1995 ranged from 5.0% to 9.3%. (iii) The fair value, as determined by discounting estimated future cash flows for traditional GIC's and the market value of underlying investments and the associated wrapper for synthetic GIC'S, at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $588,280,797 and $772,781,602, respectively. Contract values were $580,604,526 and $756,873,345 at December 31,1996 and 1995, respectively. The Master Trust invests in real estate group trusts. These trusts provide pension and profit sharing plans with a medium for pooling their funds for investment in income producing real estate. The investment trusts value real estate holdings at estimated market value based upon independent appraisals, consideration of significant changes in economic circumstances, and capital additions made to properties after the appraisal date. Such market value estimates necessarily involve subjective judgments. Accordingly, the actual market price of the real estate can only be determined by negotiation between independent third parties in a sales transaction. 24 THE PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF XEROX CORPORATION AND THE XEROGRAPHIC DIVISION, UNION OF NEEDLETRADES, INDUSTRIAL AND TEXTILE EMPLOYEES, A.F.L. - C.I.O. - C.L.C. Notes to Financial Statements (3) Master Trust (continued) Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded as earned. Margin variation represents market fluctuations on futures investments. Derivative financial instruments are used by the Master Trust's equity and balanced portfolio investment managers primarily to rebalance the fixed income/ equity allocation of the Master Trust's portfolio and to hedge the currency risk component of the Master Trust's foreign investments. Certain of the Master Trust's fixed income investment managers are permitted to use certain specified types of derivative instruments as part of their respective strategies. These strategies include the use of futures and options as substitutes for certain types of fixed income securities. Leveraging of the Master Trust's assets and speculation are prohibited. Currency hedge positions are not permitted to exceed the level of exposure in the related Master Trust's assets. The derivatives most commonly used by the investment managers are highly liquid exchange traded equity and fixed income futures and over-the-counter foreign exchange forward contracts.

On April 11, 1991, the California Department of Insurance (CDI) took over Executive Life Insurance Company (ELIC) citing a "serious danger of insolvency" and temporarily suspended all payments on Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs) issued by ELIC. Effective April 1, 1991, in order to treat all participants fairly, $66 million in affected assets were transferred into a Segregated Assets Fund. Through December 31, 1996, the Xerox retirement and savings plans have received $66 million in payments related to the ELIC investments. These payments represent the recovery of 100% of each participant's original investment plus $1.6 million in interest. Should Xerox receive additional payments from ELIC for unrecognized interest income associated with the original GIC's, the proceeds will be allocated to those participants originally invested in ELIC based upon their percent interest on April 11, 1991. All proceeds will be recorded through the income fund and transferred to other funds based on a participants allocation elections at the time of receipt. 26 THE PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF XEROX CORPORATION AND THE XEROGRAPHIC DIVISION, UNION OF NEEDLETRADES, INDUSTRIAL AND TEXTILE EMPLOYEES, A.F.L. - C.I.O. - C.L.C.

31 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Plan Administrator and Participants The Profit Sharing Plan of Xerox Corporation and The Xerographic Division, Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees, A.F.L.-C.I.O.-C.L.C. We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the Profit Sharing Plan of Xerox Corporation and The Xerographic Division, Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees, A.F.L.- C.I.O.-C.L.C. (Plan) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. 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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in those net assets available for Plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held for investment purposes is presented for 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. The fund information in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes in the assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in the assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedule and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
