We compared the smelters identified in the surveys against the lists of facilities which have received a &#8220;conflict free&#8221; designation by the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (the &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:underline;">CFSP</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221;) provided by the CFSI.  If a smelter identified by our suppliers was not listed as having received a &#8220;conflict free&#8221; designation, we reviewed its website and other information in an attempt to determine country of origin information for the Conflict Minerals that it processed.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Based on the results of our inquiry, we proceeded with due diligence measures pursuant to the Rule.

Winchester, with its principal manufacturing facilities in Illinois and Mississippi, produces and distributes sporting ammunition, law enforcement ammunition, reloading components, small caliber military ammunition and components and industrial cartridges.  Our Chlor Alkali Products division manufactures and sells chlorine and caustic soda, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen, bleach products and potassium hydroxide, and our Chemical Distribution division manufactures bleach products.

Some of our products with specifications that do not include any Conflict Mineral are manufactured using recycled materials, which will include traces of unwanted tin, tungsten or other minerals or derivatives.

We believe that in the next year, our Suppliers should be in a position to improve the level of detail in their responses to our inquiries, that we will be able to resolve more of the inconsistencies in the reports from our Suppliers and that additional smelters identified by our Non-Smelter Suppliers will be added to CFSI&#8217;s list for Conflict-Free Smelters. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">In our efforts to move toward a conflict-free supply chain for our products, also we intend to encourage our Non-Smelter Suppliers sourcing from smelters not identified on CFSI&#8217;s Conflict-Free Smelters list to move towards using smelters that are validated as compliant in accordance with the CFSP.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">6</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div></div>	</body>
