                                               President, Toshio Nishizawa
 
Today, exactly one year has passed since the occurrence of the devastating 
Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake that struck our nation.  In looking 
back at the events of the past year, I would like to take this opportunity 
to express our heartfelt sympathy to all those who passed away and their 
loved ones.  Our thoughts and prayers are with them and also with those 
people who continue to be affected by the terrible events that unfolded on 
that tragic day.
 
We also extend our deepest apologies to all residents of the neighboring 
region of Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant and Fukushima Prefecture as well as 
broader society for the concern and anxiety that arose on account of the 
accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.  Moreover, I must 
express my sincerest appreciation to all those parties, both domestic and 
international, who provided much support and assistance to us during this 
time of tribulation. 
 
While always keeping in mind the tremendous responsibility we have to 
maintain stable conditions at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant, we will 
continue to safely work towards the mid-to-long term decommissioning of the 
reactors.  In addition, all TEPCO group companies will further intensify 
their efforts to care for the presently afflicted and provide the 
compensation due them in a swift manner.
 
The day of March 11th is forever etched on the hearts and minds of every 
TEPCO employee.  Hence, we will dedicate all of our strength and all of our 
resources to overcome the many challenges that still lie ahead of us while 
always remembering that no matter what tasks we are presently engaged in, 
safety must be our top priority.
