Our manufacturing takes place in Redmond, Washington, USA; Shanghai, China; and minor amounts in Gr&#228;felfing, Germany.

Our goal is to source responsibly to manufacture products that do not contain Conflict Minerals that support armed conflict in any of the Covered Countries. As a result, we have established a conflict minerals compliance program that is designed to follow the framework established by the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) in all material respects. As part of that program, we expect that our suppliers conduct conflict minerals due diligence through their supply chains and report their results to us.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">1</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td>&nbsp;</td></tr></table> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0in; text-align:justify;"><u id="del_u11ab858e-334b-48fd-9800-ccbcc8453083">Due Diligence Framework</u></p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">In conducting our due diligence, we implemented the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD 2011) (&#8220;OECD Framework&#8221;), an internationally recognized due diligence frame work, including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0in; text-align:justify;">As an electronics manufacturer, Data I/O&#8217;s due diligence measures were based on the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global e-Sustainability (&#8220;EICC/GeSI&#8221;) initiative with the smelters and refiners of conflict minerals who provide those conflict minerals to our suppliers.
