Information from NOTE on account of the situation in Japan

On behalf of NOTE, I would like to extend our sympathies to the people
affected by the earthquake and post-earthquake tsunami and accidents in
Japan.
NOTE is in close collaboration and dialogue with manufacturers and
distributors to analyze the situation that has occurred for the Japanese
business environment in general, and for the electronics industry in
particular, due to the earthquake. Our initial analysis indicates that a
number of major Japanese manufacturers have facilities in or within the
surroundings of the area impacted by the tsunami. NOTE is focusing the
further analysis and follow-up on a number of prioritized manufacturers
and in consultation with our customers we do our outmost to minimize
disturbances in our customers material supply.
The situation is challenging and right now it is difficult to assess
what impact potential in-direct consequences like lack of electricity
supply, damaged roads etc. might have on the supply.
Yours Sincerely,
Peter Laveson
