<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 6pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-ALIGN: left">Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left">Utah Medical Products, Inc. (UTMD or the Company) manufactures and markets a broad range of disposable and reusable specialty medical devices, some of which contain necessary Conflict Minerals as described in SEC Rule 13p-1, namely gold, tantalum, tin, and tungsten.&#160; Accordingly, UTMD undertook a good-faith Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI), which was designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals in its products originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries (Covered Countries) and whether any of the Conflict Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left">The Company does not purchase any Conflict Minerals for its products or components within its products directly from mines, smelters or refiners. Rather, the Company contracts with various suppliers to manufacture or supply its products or components. UTMD must therefore rely on its suppliers to provide information regarding the origin of the Conflict Minerals.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 6pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-ALIGN: left">Conflict Minerals Disclosure</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left">Based on its RCOI, UTMD has no reason to believe that any of its necessary Conflict Minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left">To arrive at this determination, UTMD evaluated each of its products and identified those products and components that potentially contained a Conflict Mineral. Each supplier of those products or components was contacted and information about any Conflict Minerals within the product or component and the origin of those Conflict Minerals requested. In each instance where a product or component contained a Conflict Mineral, the supplier identified the origin as other than one of the Covered Countries.</div>
