Like everyone else, we have been watching the developments in Japan with great concern and sadness for the people of Japan and for
the distressing loss of life. Nobody knows what the final result might be but we would point out that the reactors are the better part of forty
years old and that technology has progressed substantially since their construction. Clearly, the prices of the Company’s underlying holdings are being negatively affected and we are monitoring market developments closely.
