Notice regarding operations of AKIA office in response to the declaration of State of Emergency by the Japanese Government

In response to the Japanese Government's declaration of a State of Emergency due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on
April 7, AKIA TAX CONSULTANTS has decided to implement certain operational procedures to prevent the further spread of the
virus, and ensure the safety of our clients and employees. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your
kind understanding in the matter.

1) Work from Home
From April 13, 2020 to May 6, 2020, we will minimize the operations in our Yokohama office. During the period our staff will continue to support you from home.
We refrain from client visits and any face-to-face meetings and replace them with teleconferencing (Skype/Zoom) and
communication with e-mails.

2) Contact information during this working from home period
Please contact us primarily by email. As for your call to our office phone number, it will be answered by an operator of a secretary
service. Please leave your message and contact number so that in-charge person will get back to you.

3) Postal mail delivery
Postal deliveries will continue as usual. However, since our administration staff responsible for mail handling will also be working
remotely, we may not be able to check them regularly. Please send documents electronically by e-mail. In case original
documents need to be sent or received by post/courier, please give a notice to our staff in advance.

4) Billing & Invoicing
During this period, all invoices to clients will be sent electronically in a PDF format by e-mail. If the hard　copy of the invoice is
required, please contact our staff.

We thank you in advance for your kind understanding and co-operation.

We wish you, your family and colleagues the good health and safety.
