While the Group has been taking various measures to prevent an-
ticipated damage caused by Tokai and Tonankai Earthquake, after
experiencing the Great East Japan Earthquake, it has diversied

Prefecture since massive tsunami damages are anticipated in the
region, to Miyakoda district in northern part of Hamamatsu City.
Also, the Group has diversied its production of engine for minivehicle,
which was concentrated to Sagara plant, to Kosai plant to mitigate
risk. Further, the Group is expanding its research facilities in India
partly in order to mitigate risk concerning product development
facility for automobile in Sagara test course. The Group will con-
tinue to enhance its preparedness against natural disasters.
The Group has carried out its operations on the basis of manufac-
turing of "value-packed products" to satisfy customers since its
