Announcement in regard to the earthquake disaster in North-eastern Japan

As been reported, a massive earthquake and tsunami hit the Tohoku region of Japan on Friday,
March 11th afternoon local time.
Above all things, we offer heartfelt condolences for the victims and casualties who have been suffered
and damaged by the tremendous catastrophe and praying for their quick recovery.

We have received so much encouragement and care from home and abroad business partners concerning the disaster.
However first we would like our customers and partners to know that we have confirmed the safety of all our company staffs
and near relative families, and our company itself did not experience any significant physical damage by the disaster at all.

Although we are able to continue all business activities and productive operations as per usual
except for rolling part-time blackouts in Tokyo area, we will keep getting a handle of the situation to estimate
the impact to our productive operations by the hazard and let every customer and partner know if any unexpected
side-effective problem arise.

Although the country of Japan is in a dire situation, we all intend to collaborate in the face of this difficulty.
Your supports from overseas truly have given us courage.

We cordially extend our deepest appreciation.

Sincerely yours

Ichiro Ohno
President of ORTUS Technology Co.,Ltd.
