We would first like to take this opportunity to give our heartfelt sympathies to those affected by the Tohoku Earthquake.
Due to the power supply problems as a result of the earthquake, the power companies have requested that we save power during peak consumption times from July through September due to concerns about electricity shortages. In addition to our continuing efforts to save energy, the Nara Factory, Shiga Factory, and Nara Research Lab will make an effort to save electricity during peak energy consumption times by switching the holidays from Saturday and Sunday to Thursday and Friday.
