The following is a summary overview of damage reported at Canon Inc. operating sites and Canon Group companies in Japan as of 15:00 JST on Sunday, March 13, 2011.

* The Company continues working to ascertain damages and determine when operations can resume.
* With regard to Canon offices, plants and Canon Group companies in Japan, there have been reports from several sites of power outages, damage to buildings and stoppages in production equipment.
* Below is an overview highlighting damage, production outlooks, etc., for sites in northern Honshu (the area hardest hit by the earthquake).
o The earthquake had the greatest impact on the following three Canon Inc. operation sites and five Canon Group companies
o Damage was significant at Canon Inc.'s Utsunomiya Office and Fukushima Canon Inc.
 

I think you can expect supply problems and price increases if they have not already hit.
The damage to the Utsunomiya Office affects production, optical products and R&D.
