NOTICE: EFFECT OF THE GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI

Our hearts go out to the countless victims of the massive earthquake and tsunami

a speedy recovery.
Below please find Ricoh's report on the effect of the recent disaster on the

We established a headquarters for emergency disaster control shortly after
the quake took place. It is now collecting information and assessing the
feasibility of counter measures.

We are currently studying the possible impact on our business now. We will
fully disclose any findings of serious influence.
