We made a public donation of over 100 million yen to the areas inflicted by the earthquake which occurred on March 11, 2011 as the SUBARU group including our affiliated companies overseas. We also freely provided 200 units of such SUBARU products as generators, light projectors, clean water pumps and muddy water pumps worth about 50 million yen.
  Many employees voiced interest in offering on-site help. Responding to their expectations, we introduced a volunteer leave system. Making use of this system, some employees are now engaged in volunteer activities in affected areas.
  In the meantime, we offered the free use of 10 Samber trucks, perviously used as company vehicles on the premise of our Gunma Manufacturing Division, to Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, together with such goods as safety shoes, work clothes, sheets and ropes. The vehicles and goods were delivered on April 16 by employees of Gunma Manufacturing Division. This support was part of the response of Ota City, where FHI has plants, to the request for cooperation from the OtaKiryu Junior Chamber, which is still involved in support activities in Ishinomaki City. Ota City freely loaned 20 Impreza patrol cars equipped with blue revolving lights. They were delivered to the affected area together with our vehicles and goods. Our Eco Technologies Company in Utsunomiya City sent 6 refuse collection vehicles to support restoration work.
  Our group companies also provided a variety of their products, while public donations and contributions in kind were sent from SUBARU dealers out of their own goodwill and charity campaigns. Donations were also made by our overseas group companies.
