<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">This is the Conflict Minerals Report for
Black Diamond, Inc. (NASDAQ: BDE) (the &ldquo;Company,&rdquo; &ldquo;Black Diamond,&rdquo; &ldquo;we,&rdquo; &ldquo;us&rdquo; or
&ldquo;our&rdquo;), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;SEC&rdquo;) in accordance with Rule 13p-1
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &ldquo;Rule&rdquo;), for the reporting period from January 1, 2016 to
December 31, 2016. The Rule was adopted by 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. &ldquo;Conflict minerals&rdquo; are defined by the SEC as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite (and
their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten) and gold.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations
on SEC registrants whose products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products
(such minerals are referred to as &ldquo;necessary conflict minerals&rdquo;), excepting conflict minerals that, prior to January
31, 2013, were located &ldquo;outside of the supply chain&rdquo; (as defined in the Rule).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">For products which contain necessary conflict
minerals, the registrant must conduct in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (&ldquo;RCOI&rdquo;) designed to determine
whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (&ldquo;DRC&rdquo;) or an adjoining country
(collectively, the &ldquo;Covered Countries&rdquo;). If, based on such inquiry, the registrant knows or has reason to believe that
any of the necessary conflict minerals contained in its products originated or may have originated in a Covered Country and knows
or has reason to believe that those necessary conflict minerals may not be solely from recycled or scrap sources, the registrant
must conduct due diligence as a method to conclude if the necessary conflict minerals contained in those products did or did not
directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Products which do not contain necessary
conflict minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries are considered &ldquo;DRC
conflict free&rdquo;. Numerous terms in this Form SD are defined in the Rule and the reader is referred to that source and to SEC
Release No. 34-67716 issued by the SEC on August 22, 2012, for such definitions.</P>

multiple tiers between the Company and the mines which produce and supply the various conflict minerals used in our products. Accordingly,
we rely on our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of the conflict minerals contained in components which are

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We conducted a comprehensive product review
to identify suppliers using conflict minerals in, or in the manufacture of, any of our products and found that certain conflict
minerals can be found in small amounts in some of our products and are necessary to the functionality or production of those products.
Therefore, we are subject to the reporting obligations of the Rule.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We conducted a survey of our relevant active
suppliers using a template developed by the &ldquo;EICC&rdquo; and the &ldquo;GeSI&rdquo;, known as the Conflict Minerals Reporting
Template (the &ldquo;Template&rdquo;). The Template was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding
smelters or refiners that provide material to a company&rsquo;s supply chain. It includes questions regarding a company&rsquo;s
conflict-free policy, engagement with its direct suppliers, and a listing of the smelters or refiners the company and its suppliers
use. In addition, the Template contains questions about the origin of conflict minerals included in such company&rsquo;s products,
as well as supplier due diligence. This Template is being widely adopted by many companies in their due diligence processes related
to conflict minerals.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">During our 2016 review, we identified eleven
(11) suppliers who fell within the scope of our RCOI. We contacted these suppliers and provided them with the Template to facilitate
their responses to us. Detailed records and metrics were kept on all incoming survey responses and all supplier communication.
Throughout this process we were committed in our attempts to properly assess the breadth of our supply chain and the year-over-year
improvements in the completeness and validity of the smelter or refiner data submitted.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We received responses back from ten (10)
suppliers, and of these responses we were able to conclude that the conflict minerals used by two (2) of these suppliers did not
originate from a Covered Country. Eight (8) of the responses from these suppliers were inadequate to reasonably demonstrate that
the country of origin of the conflict minerals was not a Covered Country. One (1) supplier which was within our RCOI did not respond
to our requests for information. All suppliers who did not respond or did not provide adequate information in their respective
responses are being tracked and further engaged for providing an acceptable response to our internal conflict minerals management
team.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Due to the breadth and complexity of our

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Despite having conducted a good faith RCOI
and due diligence process and based on the responses we received, we do not currently have sufficient information from our suppliers
or other sources to (i) determine the country of origin of all of the conflict minerals used in each of our products or (ii) identify
the facilities used to process those conflict minerals.. Therefore, we cannot exclude the possibility that some of these conflict
minerals (i) may have originated in a Covered Country and directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups, or (ii) were
not derived from recycled or scrap sources.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Because of our size, the breadth and complexity
of our products, and the constant evolution of our supply chain, it is difficult to identify any conflict minerals utilized from
our direct suppliers. As a downstream purchaser of conflict minerals, our due diligence measures can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals. Our due diligence processes are
based on the necessity of seeking data from our direct suppliers who, in turn, seek similar information within their own supply
chains to identify the original sources of the necessary conflict minerals, as a result the Company is unable to validate whether
certain smelters or refiners identified by our suppliers source from or are located in the Covered Countries or are actually in
the Company&rsquo;s supply chain. Additionally, such sources of information may yield inaccurate or incomplete information and
may be subject to fraud. Therefore, the Company is not providing an aggregated list of the smelters and refiners in the Company&rsquo;s
supply chain or an aggregated list of the potential countries of origin from which those smelters and refiners collectively source
conflict minerals.</P>
