Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Interphase Corporation (“we” or “our”) evaluated its current product lines and determined that certain products we manufacture contain cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten (“Conflict Minerals”). We are unable with absolute assurance to determine the origin of the Conflict Minerals in our products and cannot exclude the possibility that some may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country and may not have come from recycled or scrap sources. Our due diligence exercise failed to clarify the Conflict Minerals’ country of origin, whether the Conflict Minerals finance or benefit armed groups in those countries, or whether the Conflict Minerals came from recycled or scrap sources. For that reason, we are required to submit a Conflict Minerals Report.

 

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

 

A copy of the Interphase Corporation’s Conflict Minerals Report is provided as Exhibit 1.02 hereto and is publicly available at http://www.iphase.com/products/conflict_materials/.
