2011-04-05TEW Information Update 4-1-11 Regarding The Effects Of The Recent Earthquake / Tsunami

April 1, 2011

To our customers,

We would like to provide an update on the current status of Tokyo Denpa (TEW)
in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami as of April 1, 2011.

First, and most importantly, we would like to convey our condolences to 
all victims of the earthquake and the tsunami.   
And we would like to express our sincere appreciation for all the thoughts 
and prayers from our friends and business colleagues 
in Japan and around the world.

There are three TEW factories within the impact zone of 
the earthquake/tsunami:

•The Morioka Factory
•The Kuji Factory
•The Ichinohe Factory

Factory Status:

1) We are pleased to report there was no damage to these three factories or 
to the equipment inside them.

2) Thankfully, there were no injuries to any TEW employees.

3) Electricity is available at all three factories.

4) While there have been news reports about rolling power blackouts in Japan 
to conserve electricity, 
none of these three factories are in the rolling blackout zone.

5) All three factories have been fully operational since March 16, 2011.

We are aware that the earthquake/tsunami has deeply affected other crystal and 
oscillator companies in Japan.  We are working hard to increase our production 
rates and capacity in an effort to mitigate and alleviate any disruptions 
in the crystal and oscillator supply chain for the electronics industry.  
Please let us know if we can be of assistance in any manner and please provide 
as much forecasting visibility as possible so we can allocate our resources 
most effectively.

Again, thank you for your thoughts and 
prayers during this difficult time for our country. 

Sincerely,
TEW AMERICA
