The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Conflict minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten for the purposes of this assessment. These requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of the conflict minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict.</FONT></P>

The outside suppliers have provided us certificates of origin confirming that the tin we purchased was derived from cassiterite extracted in Brazil. We have also determined through our due diligence and knowledge of the market that the price and logistics for delivery of the tin we purchase is consistent with what we would expect for cassiterite extracted in Brazil.</FONT></P>
