contain tin, tungsten, tantalum and/or gold (3TG)&nbsp;(defined as &#147;conflict minerals&#148; by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission). The Company conducted reasonable due diligence as required by Rule&nbsp;13p-1 (the &#147;Rule&#148;) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including surveying its direct suppliers to try to determine the sources of these minerals, which the Company&#146;s business units purchase through a complex supply chain. The Company was unable to
determine whether the conflict minerals used in one or more of its products where such conflict minerals are necessary to such product(s) functionality or production originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country. As a
result, the Company determined that the Covered Products should be described as &#147;DRC conflict undeterminable,&#148; as defined in the Rule. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A copy

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products and the minerals
specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals, which we collectively refer to in this Report as the &#147;Conflict Minerals,&#148; are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite
and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. The &#147;Covered Countries&#148; for purposes of the Rule and this Report are the Democratic Republic of the Congo (&#147;DRC&#148;), South Sudan, Uganda,
Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola. As described in this Report, certain of the Company&#146;s operations manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products, and Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of those
products. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Report relates to products (a)&nbsp;for which Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of that
product, (b)&nbsp;that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured by the Company, and (c)&nbsp;for which the manufacture was completed during calendar year 2014. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Company Overview </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a manufacturing
company operating primarily in two lines of business - production of chemicals and production of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and heat pump products (&#147;HVAC&#148;). Our chemical business produces ammonium nitrate, anhydrous ammonia,
nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and other chemicals used by our customers in the agricultural, industrial and mining industries. Products designed and manufactured by our HVAC business are targeted for installation in new buildings, renovation of
existing buildings, and replacement of existing heating and air-conditioning systems. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Company&#146;s Products Covered by this Report </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are downstream in the supply chain and several levels removed from the actual mining of Conflict Minerals, which makes tracing materials
back to their mine and source country of origin a difficult and complex endeavor. The Company does not make purchases of raw ore or unrefined Conflict Minerals and makes no purchases in the DRC or adjoining countries. The Company is not a vertically
integrated manufacturer and instead utilizes components produced by others in its products in the HVAC business. As a result, we manufacture products which likely contain Conflict Minerals due to the anticipated presence of such minerals in parts
and components obtained from some of our suppliers. </P>

chemical and HVAC businesses, we have determined that the products produced by our HVAC businesses are subject to the reporting requirements under the Rule. These products, which we refer to in this Report collectively as the &#147;Covered
Products,&#148; are heating, ventilation and air conditioning products consisting of geothermal and water source heat pumps, hydronic fan coils, large custom air handlers, modular geothermal and other chillers and related products. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The RCOI began with an introduction email from us to each of our applicable direct suppliers describing the Conflict Minerals Compliance
Program (CMCP) requirements and identifying SI as a partner in the process. In an effort to increase awareness of the CMCP, supporting regulation, and frequently asked questions (FAQs) concerning 3TG mineral tracing, the email included reference to
the Source Intelligence Conflict Minerals Supplier Resource Center (<U>https://conflictmineralsresources.com</U>). SI sent a subsequent email to suppliers containing a registration and survey request link for the on-line data collection platform.

was initiated. The Company contacted these suppliers by email and phone to request their participation in the program. SI followed-up these communications with a further request for registrations and survey responses. Suppliers were given a final
deadline of April&nbsp;10, 2015 to provide information about the metal processors present in their supply chains for the 2014 reporting year. A number of suppliers failed to respond. </P>
