Xerox Second Quarter Earnings 30 Cents Per Share Before
Previously <XRX.N>

Xerox Second Quarter Earnings 30 Cents Per Share
Before Previously Announced Provision

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 26, 2000--Xerox Corporation
(NYSE:XRX) today announced second quarter earnings of 30 cents per
share, before an 11 cent per share charge associated with its Mexican
subsidiary.
Second quarter revenue was $4.7 billion, 4 percent lower than the
1999 second quarter. Pre-currency revenue declined 1 percent. Currency
adversely impacted earnings by an estimated 4 cents in the quarter.
"Though disappointing, these results reflect the difficulties
found in our visits and reviews of operations around the world over
the last two months. There is no doubt that the time required for
recovery is longer than previously anticipated. Stabilizing the
situation has been our focus and much progress has been made, but
achieving renewed growth will take more time," said Anne Mulcahy,
president and chief operating officer, and Paul Allaire, Xerox
chairman, who returned as chief executive officer in May following the
resignation of Rick Thoman.
Though Allaire and Mulcahy noted several positive developments, at
the same time they indicated that market dynamics and a stronger
competitive environment Xerox faces in some of its traditional
strongholds compounded the effect of the internal issues.
The revenue decline in high-speed black-and-white production
printing and publishing products created the most significant effect
on income and was exacerbated by the shift in sales to lower margin
products and services within most product segments. While new
competitive products slowed customer decision-making in the high end,
the Xerox product portfolio -- by far the industry`s broadest -- was
enhanced earlier this week by the launch of the DocuTech 6115, which
leapfrogs with greater speed and lower costs the competitor`s single
entry into this market space.
The direct sales force realignment continues to affect revenues,
although sales force turnover rates in both the U.S. and Europe
declined significantly from first quarter levels. The substantial
reduction in U.S. days sales outstanding indicated continued
improvement in U.S. customer administration, but the lag effect on bad
debts was significant in the quarter and will continue into the second
half of the year. The transformation of the front and back office
throughout Europe is proceeding with caution but the end results will
be beneficial to customers and shareholders.
Xerox is accelerating its focus on office and desktop printing.
Network printer offerings were dramatically expanded through the
Tektronix printer acquisition and, despite the short-term earnings
impact, the company said the recently launched family of new and
superior inkjet products for the SOHO environment will have a good
return over time.
Document outsourcing grew strongly but at a lower rate than in
recent quarters. The pace of activity was considerably higher in more
stable areas of the sales force such as Europe and Brazil, providing
evidence that the higher growth rates will return.
Allaire also commented on the situation in Mexico, which is the
subject of on-going investigation by the company and the SEC. Over a
period of years, several senior managers in Mexico had collaborated to
circumvent Xerox accounting policies and administrative procedures,
resulting in a charge primarily for uncollectible receivables and
unrecorded liabilities.
"We have no reason to believe that the special circumstances that
existed in Mexico are replicated in any other country," Allaire said.
"We regret this unfortunate episode, but we have dealt swiftly with it
and are cooperating fully with the SEC."
There were some bright spots to the quarter. Brazil`s strong
recovery continued and Fuji Xerox`s net income improved by 50 percent
compared to the second quarter of 1999.
Xerox retained its leadership in color copying and printing as
revenues grew 59 percent in the quarter. Customer demand for the new
DocuColor 2000 production color presses, which began shipping late in
the second quarter, outpaced supply and will accelerate throughout the
rest of the year. DocuColor 12 and Document Centre Color Series 50,
the industry`s first color-enabled digital multifunction product,
continued to show exceptionally strong growth. And color printer sales
from the recent Tektronix acquisition increased nearly 50 percent from
the first quarter.
"We are aggressively implementing our productivity initiatives to
achieve the intended bottom-line savings, and at the same time we are
spending and investing to fix our issues," said Allaire.
Allaire added that the company`s future positive turnaround was
not in doubt -- though precision as to its timing remained uncertain,
and he underscored that the company had no plans to reduce the
dividends paid to shareholders.
"While there is a need for a significant downward adjustment to
current second half expectations, we are convinced that the fourth
quarter will show that the issues are yielding to our corrective
actions," Allaire said.

Das wurde kürzlich bekanntgegeben. Weiß irgendjemend, was unter der für 2000 angegebenen "Mexico-Provision" zu verstehen ist, da diese die Earnings um 0,11 cent pro share mindert.

*XEROX<XRX.N>SAYS LAG EFFECT ON BAD DEBTS SIGNIFICANT IN Q2,
CONTINUE THROUGH H2

NEW YORK, July 26 (Reuters) - Xerox Corp. <XRX.N> on Wednesday said its second-quarter operating earnings
dropped 50 percent, meeting Wall Street`s lowered expectations a month after the troubled photocopier giant warned
that profits would be hurt by problems in Mexico and complications with its sales-force realignment.

But the Stamford, Connecticut-based Xerox also said it saw "a need for a significant downward adjustment to current
second-half expectations."

In a statement Xerox said its earnings before one-time items fell to $222 million, or 30 cents per share, from $448
million, or 62 cents per share, a year earlier. Second-quarter revenue fell 4 percent to $4.69 billion from $4.86 billion.

Wall Street analysts on average had been expecting Xerox to earn 30 cents per share, according to research firm
First Call/Thomson Financial, after Xerox warned on June 16 that its second-quarter earnings, before special
charges, would be as much as 12 cents per share below analysts` expectations at the time of 42 cents per share.

Including one-time costs of $78 million for its accounting problems in Mexico, Xerox`s net income fell 68 percent to
$145 million, or 19 cents per share.

Xerox, which ousted Rich Thoman as its chief executive officer in May after a bungled reorganisation, had issued
similar profit warnings in the third and fourth quarters of last year sending the share price into a spin.

Xerox shares on Tuesday fell 5/8 to close at 18-3/16 in trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

Noch ein paar persönliche Beobachtungen zu den heute lancierten Mitteilungen:

30 Cent wurden von unseren allseits geschätzten ANALysten erwartet, 19 Cent wurden es im Q2, und 11 Cent kosteten die mexikanischen einmaligen Sonderausgaben (alle Angeben per Share). Ohne die einmalige Sonderausgabe hätte Xerox also eine Punktlandung hingelegt.

Der Ex-CEO Rich Thoman, verantwortlich für die Gewinnwarnungen der vorigen Quartale und eine erfolglose Reorganisation, wurde im Mai verdienterweise in die Wüste geschickt.

Rekordauftrag von Bell Kanada, abgeschlossene Tektronix Übernahme mit steigenden Umsätzen der übernommenen Produktlinie, erfolgreiche Einführung des DocuTech 6115, hohe Wachstumsraten in Europa und Brasilien, signifikant steigende Erträge von Fuji Xerox, hohe Nachfrage der neuen DocuColor 2000 (Lieferengpässe) mit steigender Tendenz - Neu-CEO Paul Allaire scheint jedenfalls auf dem richtigen Weg zu sein.

Und es gibt keine Pläne die Dividende zu reduzieren.

Das heißt: jetzt werden die Erwartungen für Q3 sinnvollerweise niedrig geschraubt, aber die Xerox-Aktionäre dürften sich über ein gutes Q4 und einen positiven Jahresabschluß freuen.

Wie schön, daß mein Call bis 18.5.2001 läuft...

[nordstern]

naja, jetzt schaut´s wohl eher triste aus, wer bleibt noch dabei?? eventuell sogar nachkaufen?

[andre1]

Hi Xerox Freunde!

Bin richtig entäuscht von meinem Engagement in Xerox, werde auf jeden Fall nicht verkaufen. Bin bei 23€ eingestiegen, war zwichenzeitlich auf fast €30, behalte meine Anteile, weiß aber noch nicht genau ob ich nachkaufen sollte.

Ciao

[aribaa]

Hy Leute,

mich würde es wundern wenn sich ein Einstieg bei derzeit 15,90 $ nicht auf 2-3 Jahre mit einer Performece von mind. 100% rentieren würde.
Ich steige heute mit einem kleinen Teil ein und sollte es noch weiter runtergehen so hab ich noch was zum verbilligen.
Kopf hoch so leicht darf mann nicht aufgeben, Schnäpchenpreise sollte man zum kaufen nutzen.

Happy Trayding

@ Chartfiend!
Ich habe mir auch einen kleinen Bestand an Xerox aufgebaut, leider zu Kursen so um die 27€. Naja ist halt nicht immer schön so als Aktionär.
Wenn man den Geschäftsbericht von Xerox so durchliest, stößt man immer wieder auf die Schwierigkeiten die der starke Dollar dem Unternehmen bereitet. Ich glaube das sich dieses Problem von alleine lösen wird. Die Frage ist dabei natürlich, ob der höhere Gewinn aufgrund des dann niedrigeren Dollars die für uns negativen Währungsverluste aufwiegt. Vielversprechend halte ich die Ausführungen im letzten Geschäftsbericht zum "elektronischen Papier".
Ich stelle mir das so vor, daß man sich morgens die Zeitung aus dem Internet zieht. Man würde sich dabei das Papier, das Drucken und natürlich die Verteilung der Zeitung sparen. Naja vielleicht wird das auch ein Schlag ins Wasser. Ich werde meine Papiere auf jeden Fall weiterhalten, verkaufen lohnt sich ja auch nicht mehr.

[Micky_Mouse]

Mit einer schnellen Erholung ist nicht zu rechnen, aber auf Sicht von einigen Jahren sicher eine Topinvestition. Kostolany würde auf dem Niveau bestimmt kaufen.

[Joi]

Mit rund 25$ bin ich dann zu Anfang 2000 wohl auch etwas zu früh rein :-(. Verstimmt hat heute wohl der schlechte Ausblick
aufs kommende Quartal. Wahrscheinlich rechnet sich der neue Vorstand dafür noch nicht viel an Änderungsmöglichkeiten aus.
Die Frage ist wann es Xerox schafft sich in neuen "e"-Bereichen so richtig zu etablieren und wieder als Tech-Company
wahrgenommen wird. Dann gehts sicherlich aufwärts. Zumindest erwirtschaften Sie ja Gewinn....

[andre1]

Xerox (Frankfurt) hete - 16 %!!! Also wenn das keine Einstiegskurse mehr sind. Die schlechten Neuigkeiten (sind die überhaupt neu - nach der 4. Gewinnwarnung in Folge) sind doch schon längst eingepreist und Xerox ist auf heutigem Niveau sicherlich nicht mehr so schlecht zum Investieren.

Also hoffen wir, denn wie Plunger schon schreibt: "Verkaufen lohnt sich nicht mehr"

Also, wünsche Euch viele Freuden und bessere Tage mit X e r o x

U.S. Options-Xerox vols up, calls busy
CHICAGO, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Implied volatility in options of No. 1 photocopier maker Xerox Corp. (NYSE:XRX - news) rose on Tuesday on mostly call buying amid speculation that the company might be a takeover target.

Xerox shares were up 1-1/8 to 17-3/16 on New York Stock Exchange turnover of about 4.3 million shares in Tuesday afternoon trade.

``There is always speculation in the market, and as a company policy, we don`t comment on speculation,`` said Xerox spokesman Bill McKee.

``They are bidding up the calls. The volatilities in the August and Septembers are higher,`` one options analyst said, adding that stocks with low valuations will attract suitors.

Implied volatility for the August 17.5 calls stood at around 60 percent, up from 54 percent on Monday and late last week, the CBOE flour source said.

One of the busiest options was the August 17.5 call on the CBOE, which firmed 5/16 to 1/2 on CBOE volume of about 1,202 contracts and open interest of 1,704 as of 12:42 p.m. CDT (17:42 Gmt).
Options volume has been active. On Monday, 7,179 contracts traded and on Friday, 7,222 contracts, according to Track Data.

Fired Xerox CEO to Get $800,000 a Year

STAMFORD, Conn. (Reuters) - Rick Thoman, who presided over Xerox
Corp.`s (NYSE:XRX - news) unsuccessful restructuring and was ousted as
chief executive officer in May, will receive an annual retirement benefit of
$800,000 and other payments, Xerox disclosed in federal filings on Monday.

In addition to the pension, the 56-year-old Thoman will receive $375,000 as a
prorated 2000 bonus in February of 2001, and will also be paid $200,000 in cash
in lieu of continued life-insurance benefits, Xerox revealed in documents filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Thoman was ousted May 11, after overseeing several earnings disappointments
and a sharp fall in the company`s stock during his brief but rocky tenure of 13
months.

The Stamford, Conn.-based photocopier giant has been grappling with bad
debts, heightened competition and a painful reorganization of its worldwide
sales force as it seeks to transform itself from a maker of free-standing copiers
to a provider of digital printers connected to computer networks.

Xerox shares have plunged by 66 percent over the last year, with the shares at
16-3/4, up 1/16, in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange on
Monday.

Thoman joined Xerox in 1997 as president and chief operating officer, and was promoted to CEO in April of 1999.
He was previously senior vice president and chief financial officer of International Business Machines Corp
(NYSE:IBM - news).

After Thoman`s firing, Xerox Chairman Paul Allaire returned to his former position as CEO.

The Thoman separation details were disclosed in a letter from Allaire to Thoman, dated May 11. Thoman was not
awarded any new stock options or grants as part of the package.

All of Thoman`s existing stock options were ``underwater,`` or without value because they did not meet certain
levels.

``The separation package in major part reflects the written agreement entered into with Rick when he joined
Xerox in 1997,`` said Christa Carone, Xerox spokeswoman. She declined other comment.

Tja, wenn sich die Bezugsrechte nicht auszahlen, dann holen sich die werten Herren eben alles aus ihren Verträgen heraus. Wahnsinn: 13 Monate nur Mist bauen und mit 57 in Rente gehen mit 1,6 Mio DM p.a..... irgendwas machen wir falsch.

Inxight Announces Thing Finder Server

Innovative Feature Provides Online Users with a Powerful New Search And Browser Experience

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Inxight® Software, Inc., a leading provider of information access and content analysis software solutions, today
announced Thing Finder(TM) Server, a powerful drop-in server engine that finds key content within an online document, and provides a convenient pop-up box that
contains links and valuable information related to the key content.

Thing Finder Server provides users with a powerful new way to search for specific information on the Web or a corporate portal. It identifies the role of each word
within a document and then indexes and highlights key entities, such as places or names. Users can then obtain additional information about the highlighted entities. The
pop-up box is powered with Active Annotation, a powerful new Inxight technology that compiles the links for the relevant information and allows users to interact with
the data within the pop-up box.

``The amount of content on the Web has become overwhelming, making traditional search engines less effective,`` said Ian Hersey, Inxight`s vice president of linguistic
products. ``With Thing Finder Server`s Active Annotation, we have created a much more powerful way to index and categorize nuggets of information than what a
user would normally retrieve from a word-based search. We believe Thing Finder Server will revolutionize the delivery of relevant information regardless of where the
user is on an active Web page or an email message.``

Consumer and intranet portals, online publishers and Web information services can utilize Thing Finder Server to significantly improve search results, enhance online

Xerox faces class action pile-up

By Matt Andrejczak, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 4:18 PM ET Aug 31, 2000 NewsWatch
Latest headlines

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - Xerox was recently hit with another class action lawsuit stemming from alleged accounting irregularities that surfaced earlier this year in its Mexican operations.

The Stamford, Conn.-based company was forced to take a $78 million after-tax charge in the second-quarter for uncollectible receivables and unrecorded liabilities as a result of the accounting problems.

Shares of Xerox, which have plummeted about 64 percent over the past year, fell $1.06 to close at $16.06.

Xerox has denied any wrongdoing and said it intends to vigorously fight the allegations that it made misleading statements to investors.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is currently probing the photocopier machine giant`s accounting practices, Xerox confirmed in June.

In documents filed with the SEC on Wednesday, Xerox revealed that a second lawsuit was commenced Aug. 24 in the U.S. District Court in Hartford, Conn. The suit -- launched by shareholder Russell Carson -- names Xerox, its accounting firm KPMG, and the company`s top executives as defendants.

Carson charges that the group concealed material adverse facts relating to its Mexico-based operations and deceived investors about the company`s financial condition.

The suit is filed on behalf of all investors who purchased Xerox`s stock between Jan. 27 to July 27 and seeks unspecified compensatory damages.

The Hartford, Conn.-based law firm of Gersten & Clifford is handling the case along with Dennis J. Johnson, a former SEC enforcement attorney based in South Burlington,Vt.

The first class action suit was filed against Xerox on July 5 in New York Supreme Court and seeks "tens of millions of dollars," according to SEC documents.

Earlier this month, in an SEC filing, Xerox admitted that its senior managers in Mexico had collaborated for a "period of years" to circumvent the company`s accounting policies.

Informations- bzw. Missetat-verschleierungen als class action suit, das kann sehr teuer werden. Kein Wunder, daß sich so recht nix tut...

Ob das jetzt wohl die "tens of millions of dollars" noch in diesem Jahr inne Kasse bringt???

Xerox Canada adopts "Blue Dog" for ad blitz
Popular Pooch Promotes "Smarter Breed" of Inkjet Printers
TORONTO, Sept. 2 /CNW/ - Xerox Canada Ltd. is banking on a captivating, Cajun canine from the bayous of Louisiana to attract the attention of small office/home office (SOHO) customers and create demand for its new inkjet printer line.
On September 4, the first advertisements will appear as part of an aggressive marketing and advertising campaign, featuring the popular "Blue Dog" image created by Louisiana artist George Rodrigue.

"The Blue Dog, like Xerox itself, is an icon," said Tom Tomkins, director and general manager, Xerox Canadian Retail Operations. "It affects and motivates people in dramatic ways and is a perfect fit with our new inkjet product line -- colourful, approachable, dependable and non-traditional."

During the next few months, consumers in Canada will see a combination of Blue Dog print, television, radio, outdoor and online advertising promoting "A Smarter Breed of Inkjet Printer."

As part of a US$200 million worldwide advertising and marketing effort, the Blue Dog campaign will extend to unique marketing events, Web sites, sponsorships, packaging, collaterals and more. The Blue Dog icon and Xerox inkjet offerings also will be featured during the Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, where Xerox will use its position as an Official Olympic Partner to communicate with tens of millions during the single biggest sporting event in the world.

"I am an image maker and Xerox is an image maker," said artist George Rodrigue. "The combination of Blue Dog and Xerox inkjet printers is a powerful way to reach a mass audience with a compelling message and a striking image."

Print ads will feature eye-catching original work by Rodrigue, designed to make the Xerox inkjet message stand out in the SOHO market.

One ad shows a close-up of the Blue Dog image being printed on a Xerox inkjet printer with the headline "Xerox Introduces a Smarter Breed of Inkjet Printer: Always Faithful to Its Owner." Another ad shows a Blue Dog image cruising along on a speeding motorcycle, emphasizing the exclusive Xerox eXpress Mode(tm), allowing the M Series inkjet products to print colour documents up to twice as fast as the competition.

Rodrigue, who hails from the heart of French Louisiana, had spent close to 20 years doing regional paintings of his Cajun community.

After his dog Tiffany passed away, he eventually incorporated her into his paintings. As he put these paintings in the window of his gallery, they sold immediately. He painted more and they sold as well. No matter how many Blue Dog paintings that Rodrigue created, he sold every one.

Rodrigue now has been painting Blue Dog for more than a decade and has galleries in Carmel, Calif., Tokyo, and New Orleans. His book Blue Dog Man is currently a bestseller on amazon.com.

Art enthusiasts and celebrities around the world prize Rodrigue`s work; the Blue Dog has appeared in Absolut Vodka`s artist campaign, and on the set of "Friends."

Official Partner Xerox Begins Final Countdown to the First Fully Digital
Olympic Games

ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 2000 - When Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX - news) first supported
the Olympics in 1964, it took just five plain-paper copiers - the Xerox 914 - to document the Innsbruck, Austria, Winter
Games.

But for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, Xerox will marshal an entire technology team of more than 2,000 Document Centre
digital multifunction systems, 1600 digital copiers and fax machines, 200 DocuPrint laser and inkjet desktop printers, and eight high-speed DocuTech publishing
systems will be on hand to make the Sydney Games the first fully digitally documented Olympics in history.

Now, with just days until the opening ceremonies, the Official Olympic Partner is getting ready to set document records.

``We draw a parallel with our participation in the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games to a marathon,`` said Vince Schaeffer, manager, Xerox Olympic Operations.
``During the 17 days of competition, Xerox will provide the technology to manage more than 18,000 files. That`s a long race for our people, and a race we are
ready to win.``

Xerox, who has participated in every Olympics event since 1964, will support the Sydney Games in several ways. The company will:

Produce more than 1,000 CD-ROMs with the results of every race and competition for accredited media, Olympic committees and sports federations.
Print, collate and bind 50,000 hardcopy Results Books - more than 8 million pages - for distribution throughout the Games.
Create more than 2,000 copies of daily newspapers from around the world each day, with the power of two Xerox DocuTech 6180 digital printers. The
same-day newspaper content will be delivered through an alliance with global newspaper distributor PressPoint Inc. Customers can purchase Global
Editions of dozens of hometown papers, including The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Washington Post, The Miami Herald and the Financial Times
(London).
Use recycled paper in support of the environmental initiatives of these Olympic Games.
Serve as a sponsor for the U.S.A. Track and Field team.
Sponsor the Xerox Breakfast with the Olympians on Sept. 30, to honor U.S. Olympic athletes.
Prominently feature its new Blue Dog advertising campaign around Sydney and on television to communicate with millions of Olympic visitors and viewers.
The Blue Dog promotes the benefits of Xerox personal inkjet printers and multifunction products.

To support many of these efforts, each of the 34 competition venues will be equipped with a small print shop that has integrated document publishing systems to
meet all of the organizers` document needs.

In addition, about 200 Xerox engineers from the Asia-Pacific region will be on-site to ensure smooth operation of all Xerox technology and services.

So, so, man braucht also 200 Xerox-Techniker, um 3.800 Xerox-Geräte 17 Tage lang zu benutzen....Sollte uns das zu denken geben, oder sind eher positive Kursimpulse in Sicht ?? Na ja, schaun `mer mal, denn wer jetzt noch investiert ist wird es wohl auch bleiben.

[n0-fear]

@Vacuum
Schoen, dass hier im Board mal wieder etwas geschrieben wird. Dass 200 Techniker ca. 4000 Kopierer bedienen, spricht vielleicht nur dafuer, dass die Kopierer so schnell sind und sie staendig Papier nachlegen muessen. Das waere doch schoen. Ich verstehe auch gar nicht, weshalb die Aktionaere kaum noch Vertrauen in die XEROX Aktei legen. Die Maschinen stehen in jedem Copyshop auf der ganzen Welt. Da sollte man doch ein paar Mark mit verdienen. Ich bin ganz sicher, wenn die naechsaten Zahlen kommen, wird es einen rapiden Anstieg bei XEROX geben wird. Die Marktposition und die Produkte sind doch sehr ordentlich.

Press Release
Xerox Expands Digital Copier/Printer Leadership With Document Centre 480, Fastest, Most Functional in Series
ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 11, 2000--Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX - news) today extends its market leadership in the digital office and strengthens its powerful digital copier/printer family with the Document Centre 480 -- the fastest and most productive product in the Xerox Document Centre line.

Powered by a new Intel 433 MHz microprocessor, the Document Centre 480 prints and copies at 75 pages per minute (ppm) and is the industry`s only product in this speed range to offer scanning. These features, along with faxing capabilities, allow Document Centre 480 users in the networked office to quickly manage, store and share electronic and paper documents, improving overall document management.

The Document Centre 400 Series now includes six models (20-75 ppm), making it the broadest, most versatile digital product family in the industry. Unlike other competitive products, each model features the same user interface, consistent functionality and consistent connectivity options, allowing IT managers and users to easily install and use multiple models in their existing network environment.

``The overall design and enhanced features of Document Centre make it the easiest and most productive digital office product to use. Its effectiveness and value is unmatched in the industry,`` said Nancy K.M. Rees, vice president and general manager, Xerox Office Digital Business Unit.

A hard drive with twice as much memory and a faster 433 MHz microprocessor empowers the Document Centre 480 to process many scan, print, fax and copy jobs quickly and consistently without delays between jobs. Intensive product testing by Xerox shows that the Document Centre 480 is a clear winner when processing and printing typical office jobs, such as stapled documents up to five pages. For example, compared with competitive products, the DC 480 is more than 200 percent faster, even against those models with faster print engine speeds.

The Document Centre 480 comes on the heels of Xerox`s recent introduction of the DC 400 Series Office Software Suite, a family of four products focused on knowledge management, messaging and output management. These software products -- FlowPort, DocuShare, PrintXchange and CentreWare -- continue to leverage the Document Centre platform by helping customers manage the flow of digital or paper documents within existing IT infrastructures.

The Document Centre 480 is available starting Oct. 1. U.S. list prices begin at $44,000 for a digital copier, $49,000 for a digital copier/printer, and $52,900 for a digital copier/printer with scanning. Sales, service and leasing are offered through the Xerox direct sales force and authorized agents.

433 MHz Rechner für einen Multifunktionsdrucker listed at derzeit "nur" DM 98.120.- zzgl. EinfuhrUSt, Tendenz teurer werdend - mal seh`n ob die Document Centres bei der Zielgruppe ankommt...

Hier eine kleine Beobachtung aus dem Yahoo-Board bezüglich Xerox und Fondsgesellschaften der USA:

<QUOTE> Although the holdings of the top ten institutional XRX investors are enormous, none of them has increased in the past three months.

In fact, since 6/30:

the holdings of Citigroup dropped by
14,774,000 - 14,557,000 = 217,000 shares.

the holdings of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter dropped by
11,702,000 - 11,545,000 = 157,000 shares.

The other top 8 institutional holders
apparently have not changed their positions.

See: Thomson report for XRX of 06/30/00.

So -- who are the institutional investors
that have been buying XRX in blocks recently?

(That is, who besides the College Retirement Equities Fund,
which bought over 6 million shares recently, and
the AARP Growth and Income Fund,
which bought over 1 million shares recently.
As the Thomson i-watch shows, someone else is buying.)</QUOTE>

Falls diese Aussage wahr ist, scheint etwas im Busch zu sein (7 Millionen Aktien sind zwar Peanuts, aber das Vertrauen der größten Fondsgesellschaften ist wohl noch vorhanden, sonst hätten diese Xerox fallengelassen....)
Wer weiß mehr ???

[kostosgeist]

Begleite nun das XEROX-Desaster auch ziemlich seit der ersten Stunde (siehe mein thread) und habe (zugegeben) mit einer etwas rascheren Erholung gerechnet.

Die Fakten:

Xerox hat Technologie...das ist ein Unternehmen mit Substanz, das Gewinne macht und zwar in einem Hightech-Markt, nicht verlgeichbar also mit einigen dot.com Blasen und vergleichbarem Schrott im Nemax.

Das KGV ist lächerlich niedrig.

Das Management ist unfähig und zwar auch Allaire, der neue Chaot.

Heute nu nkam das Gerücht auf, daß Xerox in 3 selbständige Unternehmen zerschlagen wird. DAs könnte (ähnliche Fälle hat es bereits häufiger gegeben) den Kurs ordentlich beflügeln.

Meines Erachtens kann man Xerox mit einem Kursziel von 50 bis 60 Dollar auf Sicht von 2 bis 3 Jahren kaufen.

Ich habe auf dem jetzigen Niveau noch einmal verbilligt und bin etwa 10% vom break-even-point entfernt.

Mal sehen, was sich in den nächsten Wochen und Monaten ergibt.

Gruß von Kostosgeist, der zuversichtlich ist, Xerox bald auf dem Weg nach oben zu sehen.

Solche Nachrichten sind eklig, da die "Sheisters" wieder mal zuschlagen, es geht hierbei um Gebühren, sonst nichts (daß hierbei KPMG als Verteidigung dienen soll, weht wie ein Grabeslüftchen über meinen Rücken - wer KPMG`ler kennt, weiß warum...):

Law Firm Milberg Weiss Announces Class Action Suit Against Xerox
Corporation

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 14, 2000--The following is an announcement by the law firm of Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach LLP:

The law firm of Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach LLP announces that a class action lawsuit was filed on September 14, 2000, on behalf of purchasers
of the securities of Xerox Corporation. (``Xerox`` or the ``Company``) (NYSE: XRX - news) between January 25, 2000 and July 27, 2000, inclusive (the
``Class Period`). A copy of the complaint filed in this action is available from the Court, or can be viewed on Milberg Weiss` website at:
http://www.milberg.com/xerox/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.milberg.com/xerox/

The action is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, located at 141 Church Street, New Haven, CT 06510, against
defendants Xerox, KPMG, LLP (the Company`s independent auditor), Paul Allaire (Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board), G. Richard Thoman
(President and Chief Operating Officer until May 11, 2000), Barry Romeril (Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President), and Ann Mulcahy (President
and Chief Operating Officer since May 11, 2000).

The complaint charges that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by
issuing a series of material misrepresentations to the market between January 25, 2000, and July 27, 2000. For example, as alleged in the complaint, on January
25, 2000, Xerox issued a press release announcing that the Company is successfully addressing its domestic operational problems, and reporting excellent
growth in its Mexican operations for the fourth quarter of 1999. The statement was materially false and misleading, the complaint alleges, because--in connection
to its operations in Mexico-- the Company improperly recognized uncollectible receivables as income, and failed to properly account for liabilities. These
misrepresentations were repeated in the Company`s Form 10-K, filed on March 27, 2000, which contained a letter from KPMG, representing that, based upon
its audits of the Company, the Form 10-K fairly presented the financial information it contained. The statement was materially false and misleading because
KPMG knew, or was reckless in not knowing, of the Company`s improper accounting. On July 26, 2000, Xerox announced that its earnings for the second
quarter of 2000 would be below analysts` earnings expectations, and that the Company was cooperating with the SEC`s investigation of accounting irregularities
in Xerox`s Mexican operations. In response to the announcement, the price of Xerox shares dropped 16% from $18.19 per share to $15.25 per share.

If you bought the securities of Xerox between January 25, 2000, and July 27, 2000, you may, no later than October 23, 2000, request that the Court appoint
you as lead plaintiff. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead
plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member`s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately
represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as ``lead plaintiff.`` Your ability to share in any recovery is not,
however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach LLP, or other counsel of
your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.

Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach LLP (http://www.milberg.com) is a 160-lawyer firm with offices in New York City, San Diego, San Francisco, Los
Angeles, and Boca Raton and is active in major litigations pending in federal and state courts throughout the United States. Milberg Weiss has taken a leading
role in many important actions on behalf of defrauded investors, consumers, and others, and has been responsible for more than $20 billion in aggregate
recoveries. Please contact the Milberg Weiss website for more information about the firm.

Und hier der Knaller des Tages aus der Gerüchteküche:

HP, Canon possibly eyeing Xerox - BusinessWeek

NEW YORK, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Photocopier maker Xerox Corp. (NYSE:XRX - news) is a potential takeover target, and
possible suitors include Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE:HWP - news) and Japan`s Canon Inc. , according to BusinessWeek`s
Inside Wall Street column.

Hewlett-Packard said it does not comment on market rumours, and Xerox was not immediately available to provide
comment.

The column cites one industry expert as saying talks have brought no conclusive results. Investor group Silverlake Investor could also be eyeing Xerox, the
source said.

Xerox could get $30 to $35 per share, the column said, or the company could split itself up and sell its assets, according to the report.

Shares of Rochester, N.Y.-based Xerox closed up 1/8 at $16 on Thursday, near their 52-week low of $14-9/16. The stock`s 52-week high is $48-5/16.

Eine Empfehlung eines ANALysten, olalalala......

Xerox ideale Einstiegszeit, Datum : 18.09.2000 15:10

Holger Struck, Chartanalyst bei M.M. Warburg, empfiehlt bei Xerox (WKN
853906) einzusteigen.

Mit den ersten Kaufsignalen bei der Xerox-Aktie sei bisher für den Anleger
noch kein Geld zu verdienen gewesen, dennoch stabilisiere sich der
Aktienkursverlauf weiterhin, womit die Bodenbildung weiter (und noch
deutlicher) intakt bleibe und ein Ausbruch nach oben immer
wahrscheinlicher werde.

Die unterhalb der Chartgrafik dargestellten Oszillatoren, die Relative
Stärke (Levy-Konzept) und auch das Trendfolgemodell MACD strebten recht
einheitlich weiter nach oben, teilweise zeigten sich dabei (wie im RSI-14
und Slow Stochastics) auch positive Divergenzen, die ohne weiteres eine
Schließung des ersten offenen Abwärtsgaps im Chart bei 25 US-$ als erstes
wahrscheinliches Kursziel nahe legen würden.

Der am letzten Freitag erfolgte Kursanstieg habe dabei mit einem
(technisch) erfreulichen Schub im Handelsvolumen der Aktie stattgefunden
und habe auch im Wochenchart recht konstruktive Signale für das
(mittelfristig angelegte) Eingehen einer (Long-) Position in Aktien der
Xerox Corp. hinterlassen. Im Wochenchart drehten die aus den Kursen
abgeleiteten, technischen Standardindikatoren gerade erst "auf
Kauf", so dass für echte Anlagekäufe ein nahezu idealer
Einstiegszeitpunkt gekommen sein könnte.

Xerox Lays Claim to Graphic Arts Market Leadership, Launches
Powerful Products, Solutions, E-Business Initiative

``Going forward, Xerox is the one to watch in Graphic Arts``

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2000-- Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX - news) blew into America`s printing heartland today, unleashing a
slew of products, solutions and services that extend the company`s range of color printing offerings, advance its position as a graphic arts powerhouse, and
give commercial printers more ways to make money.

Taking center stage at Graph Expo, the largest printing and graphic arts exhibition in North America, Xerox launched an online ``Premier Partners`` channel to
funnel print jobs to qualified members on the Web; the Pixography(TM) Solution that produces color documents for walk-up users; and the DocuColor DI
Series of digital offset color presses, the company`s first foray into digital offset printing.

``Going forward, Xerox is the one to watch in Graphic Arts. We intend to be the No. 1 player in this market within three years,`` said Anne M. Mulcahy,
Xerox president and chief operating officer. ``We are aggressively working with print customers to help them find better ways to compete and to build their
businesses. And the technologies we`re launching today demonstrate our deep understanding of this industry and the customer demands within it.``

Xerox`s new Premier Partners program is an innovative e-business initiative that turns graphic arts service providers into Web partners, providing access to
new revenue opportunities and knowledge sharing. The program, involving quick and commercial printers and other graphic arts professionals worldwide, is
designed as a virtual ``channel`` or hub to connect supply and demand in the printing industry.

In a related move, Xerox announced that it will no longer compete with quick and commercial printers for print production work through company-run print
shops known as Document Technology Centers (DTCs). Over the next few months, Xerox will close selected DTCs and change the charter of the remaining
facilities to focus on value-added document services that go beyond traditional print shop operations. The new mission of the remaining facilities will be to
meet the requirements of pre-existing global account contracts and direct the flow of new print production work to Premier Partners.

As part of its focus on targeted solutions for high-growth markets, Xerox also launched a personal imaging center called the Pixography Solution. Designed
for quick-print and retail stores, it allows consumers to create colorful personalized materials such as greeting cards, calendars, invitations, fliers and more.
The system combines exclusive Xerox imaging software, a friendly touch screen and specially coated Xerox paper. Finished color documents are printed in
minutes on the Xerox DocuColor 12 Copier/Printer. It is currently being used at Epcot® at Walt Disney World® Resort and tested in selected quick-print
franchises and office superstores.

The DocuColor DI Series offers the speed of digital printing and near-offset press print quality. Xerox and Presstek Inc. joined forces to create the
DocuColor DI Series presses, which operate at speeds up to 400 pages per minute and are the fastest digital offset presses in the industry. The presses can
produce everything from single-color brochures to full-color prints in short-run quantities with faster, more consistent results than traditional offset printing.

Xerox also announced the new DocuColor 2000 CSX image processor (RIP), targeted to professional printers, and a nearly 40 percent price reduction for
the DocuColor 40 copier/printer, targeted to entry-level production printers.

Rivaling the presence of traditional printing companies such as Heidelberg, Xerox fills an entire 40,000-square-foot hall in McCormick Place`s Lakeside
Center. Other attractions include the Xerox DocuTech Book Factory solution, which can digitally produce perfect-bound books in any quantity, from one to
1 million. In addition, in partnership with USA TODAY, Xerox will produce a daily ``Sydney Extra`` Olympics newspaper on Xerox DocuTech digital
printers. The Sydney Extra supplements each copy of USA TODAY sold in Sydney to provide readers with timely Olympics results.

Customer Contact: For information on Xerox products, call 800-ASK-XEROX or visit www.xerox.com.

NOTE TO EDITORS: Xerox will demonstrate its products and solutions Sept. 24-27 at McCormick Place`s Lakeside Center, Chicago.

A news briefing will be held at 4:30 p.m. today at the Chicago Firehouse Restaurant, Chicago. The briefing is also available via a live Webcast at
www.xerox.com.

Presstek and Xerox Sign Sales and Marketing Agreement

HUDSON, N.H., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Presstek, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRST - news) and Xerox Corporation (NYSE:
XRX - news), today announced that the parties have signed an agreement for Presstek to supply Xerox with a series of
three Presstek enabled DI® presses and related consumables which Xerox will market, distribute and service worldwide

to the terms of the agreement, Xerox will have exclusive marketing and sales rights to the DocuColor 400 DI presses and semi-exclusive sales and distribution

``The blending of Presstek`s and Xerox`s technologies opens exciting new opportunities for both companies,`` said Robert Hallman, Presstek`s president and
chief executive officer. ``Xerox has the sales force and experience in customer satisfaction to significantly expand DI`s reach in the marketplace, and the
addition of the DocuColor DI Series to Xerox`s product line provides Xerox the opportunity to offer its customers one-stop shopping.``

``In the new business of printing, it is vital to have a printing system that can combine the strengths of both digital and offset,`` said Gerhard Moll, senior vice
president and general manager Xerox Color Business. ``Incorporating Presstek`s digital imaging technology, the new DocuColor DI Series broadens Xerox`s
offerings to both current and new customers.``

Xerox will exhibit and take orders for its new DI presses at Graph Expo 2000. Graph Expo, the largest prepress and printing trade show and conference in
the Americas, will take place at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois from September 24, 2000 through September 27, 2000.

ESPS and Xerox Announce Immediate Availability of CoreDossierX;
Merck KGaA Among the First to Install the Latest Advanced Submission
Publishing Software

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- ESPS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ESPS - news), a premier provider of knowledge publishing solutions, and Xerox Corporation
(NYSE: XRX - news) today announced at the RAPS 2000 (Regulatory Affairs Professional Society) conference in Washington, D.C., the immediate availability
of their joint, best-of-breed submission publishing solution, CoreDossierX(TM). ESPS and Xerox previewed CoreDossierX at the First Annual International
CoreAlliance Conference, a CoreDossier user group meeting, held September 10-15, 2000 in New Orleans.

Both companies began to collaborate on a common product in March, when they announced their long-term, global technology development and reseller
agreement. CoreDossierX offers businesses a single, powerful publishing solution to meet the rigorous demands of publishing their regulatory submissions and
other complex documentation.

According to ESPS President and CEO Rick Dool, CoreDossierX and the ESPS- Xerox relationship provide customers with additional value and increased
flexibility in a complete solution. ``In the past, we each worked individually with companies to help them move beyond a purely paper paradigm to an automated
submission publishing process. Our individual efforts yielded significant savings in the time, effort and cost for these organizations. With CoreDossierX, the
potential savings and process efficiencies are even greater, since it incorporates our combined expertise and the strengths of ESPS` CoreDossier and Xerox`s
Dossier Publisher.``

Part of the ESPS-Xerox agreement included software development efforts for the best-of-breed publishing software to conclude within six months. ``Together, we
not only met our deadline for the new software, but we`ve also truly redefined regulatory publishing in the process,`` said Olivier Groues, Senior Vice President,
Xerox Worldwide Industrial Business. ``Our goal is to help our customers gain a competitive advantage through advanced document solutions.``

Merck KGaA in Darmstadt, Germany, will be one of the first to install CoreDossierX. ``At Merck KGaA, we`ve been working with ESPS to support our
publishing process in R&D. Some of the new functionality that CoreDossierX offers can further improve this process,`` said Katrin Dinkel, Head of Group
Regulatory Affairs/Submission Service at Merck KGaA.

New features with CoreDossierX include: audit trail capabilities to support 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for electronic records; report-level publishing ability to
enable the assembly of smaller publications that feed into larger submissions; Xprint-compatible output option; ability to read Xerox Dossier Publisher PDF
renditions and cross-references; additional global submissions support and more. Both companies are jointly marketing the new software solution.
