Customer Financing Xerox finances a large portion of their direct channel customer purchases of Xerox equipment through bundled lease agreements. Financing facilitates customer acquisition of Xerox technology and enhances their value proposition, while providing Xerox an attractive gross margin and a reasonable return on its investment in this business. Additionally, because Xerox primarily finance their own products and have a long history of providing financing to their customers, which they able to minimize much of the risk normally associated with a finance business. Because our lease contracts permit customers to pay for equipment over time rather than at the date of installation, Xerox maintain a certain level of debt to support its investment in these lease contracts. Customer financing activity was funding through a combination of cash generated from operations, cash on hand and proceeds from capital market offerings. At December 31, 2011, we had $6.4 billion of finance receivables and $0.5 billion of equipment on operating leases, or Total Finance assets of $6.9 billion. Xerox maintain an assumed 7:1 leverage ratio of debt to equity as compared to their Finance assets, which results in a significant portion about $8.6 billion of debt being associated with its financing business.
