Axis comments on the situation in Japan

With reference to the catastrophic earthquake in Japan, Axis
Communications hereby announces that the company has secured product
supplies and does not currently see any immediate shortages in the
supply of components in the near-term.

There are several suppliers of camera-specific components in Japan such
as lenses and sensors. Apart from these subcontractors, there are also a
large number of suppliers who, directly or indirectly, will affect the
supply of general electronics components.

It is difficult to judge today how Axis' business will be affected in
the coming quarters, but it will probably mean some delivery disruptions
due to component shortages.   

Axis' office in Tokyo with about ten employees is not directly affected
today. However, it is likely that the activity on the Japanese market
will be impacted negatively as a result of infrastructural disruptions,
among other things. Axis Communications' Asia region that represents
approx. 10% of Axis' sales, includes Japan and also China, India,
Australia, Southeast Asia and Oceania.
