Qualstar Corporation
Conflict Minerals Report
For the Calendar Year Ended December 31, 2017
Introduction
This Conflict Minerals Report (“Report”) of Qualstar Corporation for calendar year 2017 has been prepared in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), the instructions to Form SD, and the Public Statement on the Effect of the Recent Court of Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule issued by the Director of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2014 (the “SEC Statement”). The Company notes the Updated Statement on the Effect of the Court of Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule issued by the SEC Division of Corporation Finance on April 7, 2017. Please refer to Rule 13p-1, Form SD and the 1934 Act Release No. 34-67716 for definitions to the terms used in this Report, unless otherwise defined herein. As used in this Report and unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Qualstar,” “we,” “our,” “Company” and similar references are references to Qualstar Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. The content of our website as referred to in this Form SD is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference into this Form SD.
This Report outlines the steps we undertook in accordance with Rule 13p-1, Form SD, and the SEC Statement in connection with the existence of Conflict Minerals in products we manufacture or contract to manufacture. Our diligence measures were designed to adhere, in all material respects, with the nationally recognized due diligence framework in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and the related Supplement on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and the Gold Supplement (Second Edition OECD 2013) (the “OECD Framework”).
Company Overview
Qualstar is a leading provider of data storage systems marketed under the Qualstar brand and of high efficiency and high-density power solutions marketed under the N2Power brand. Qualstar is organized into two strategic business units: power solutions and data storage systems. Power solutions products include ultra-small high efficiency switching power supplies that provide unique power solutions to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) for a wide range of markets, including communications networking, industrial, gaming, test equipment, LED/lighting, medical as well as other market applications. Data storage system products include highly scalable automated magnetic tape storage solutions used to store, retrieve and manage electronic data primarily in the network computing environment and to provide solutions for organizations requiring backup, recovery and archival storage of critical electronic information. A more complete description of the Company’s products is included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Qualstar designs its products at facilities in California and Singapore and sells its products globally through authorized resellers and directly to OEMs. The Company utilizes contract manufacturers in Asia to produce its power solutions products. Qualstar’s storage products are manufactured by the Company at its factory in Simi Valley, California and by its OEM suppliers in other parts of the world.
The Company’s position in the supply chain is as a remote downstream purchaser, several levels removed from the actual mining of the Conflict Minerals or the smelters or refiners that process these minerals. Qualstar does not directly make purchases of raw ore or unrefined Conflict Minerals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country (collectively, “Covered Countries”) and the Company does not directly source any products or components from the Covered Countries. In light of Qualstar’s remote position in the supply chain, the Company must rely upon its suppliers (and their multiple sub-suppliers and intermediaries) for information on and verification of the chain of custody of Conflict Minerals contained in the Company’s products.
Conflict Mineral Policy
Qualstar seeks to perform its compliance obligations under the Conflict Minerals Rule. As such, the Company has taken steps to communicate to selected personnel, suppliers and the public a policy regarding the supply of columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten (“Conflict Minerals”) for its products. A copy of such policy is available on the Company’s website at https://www.qualstar.com/n2p-compliance-docs.php
Qualstar expects its suppliers to:
| ● | Promptly, completely and accurately respond to the Company’s informational requests with respect to any Conflict Mineral that is necessary to the functionality or production of such products. |
| ● | Determine whether there are any Conflict Minerals in any such products, survey their “upstream” suppliers regarding the ultimate source of any such Conflict Mineral and verify and document such information. |
| ● | Implement policies and management systems to support compliance with these expectations and encourage their “upstream” suppliers to adopt similar policies and systems. |
| ● | Cooperate in the event the Company determines that any further inquiry or due diligence is required or advisable with respect to the source of any Conflict Mineral in any such products. |
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry and Due Diligence Process
We determined that certain Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality of one or more of our products that we manufactured or had manufactured during the reporting period, and thus conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) under the Conflict Minerals Rule to determine whether any Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of such products we manufactured or contracted to manufacture originated in the Covered Countries or are from recycled or scrap sources. Qualstar subscribes to the SiliconExpert data base that has sourcing information pertaining to numerous electronic components. Qualstar used the database to collect information about the presence and sourcing of Conflict Minerals used in products and components supplied to the Company.
We contract with numerous suppliers that contribute to the manufacture of our products, and are several levels removed from in the supply chain from the smelters or refiners (“SORs”) that process the minerals used in our products and from the mines of origin for those materials. Qualstar does not purchase raw ore or unrefined Conflict Minerals and we made no purchases in the Covered Countries. As a result, in conducting our RCOI, we necessarily relied upon our suppliers to provide Conflict Minerals sourcing information to identify those “upstream” SORs that represent the sources of Conflict Minerals in Qualstar’s supply chain.
Reasonable Country of Inquiry Process
The RCOI began with an evaluation of our suppliers who provided materials, components or products that became part of products we manufactured or contracted to be manufactured in 2017, which contained or were likely to contain Conflict Minerals necessary for the functionality or production of the product. Through this evaluation, we identified 148 suppliers (“Identified Suppliers”) who provided us with materials, components or products in 2017 to be contacted as part of our RCOI.
We contacted each of the Identified Suppliers by introductory email containing a registration and survey request link for an on-line data collection platform. The Identified Suppliers were asked to provide information about the presence and sourcing of Conflict Minerals used in the products and components supplied to Qualstar, with the ultimate objective of identifying for any Conflict Minerals the SORs and the associated mine countries of origin. To collect this information, we utilized the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (RMI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT), versions 5.01 or higher. If an Identified Supplier failed to respond to our request for information or provided an incomplete or insufficient response, we sent follow-up inquiries requesting a complete response. In addition, supplier responses were evaluated for plausibility, consistency and gaps, and Identified Suppliers were contacted if any of the following quality control issues were identified:
| ■ | One or more SORs were listed for an unused metal; |
| ■ | SOR information was not provided for a used metal, or SOR information provided was not a verified metal processor; |
| ■ | The supplier answered yes to sourcing from the Covered Countries, but none of the SORs listed are known to source from the region; |
| ■ | The supplier indicated that they had not received Conflict Minerals data for each metal from all relevant suppliers; |
| ■ | The supplier indicated that they had not identified all of the SORs used for the products included in the declaration scope; |
| ■ | The supplier indicated that they had not provided all applicable SOR information received; or |
| ■ | The supplier indicated 100% of the Conflict Minerals for products covered by the declaration originated from scrap/recycled sources, but one or more SORs listed are not known to be exclusive recyclers. |
Survey Responses and SOR Summary
The response rate among the Identified Suppliers was 81%. Of these responding suppliers, 97% indicated one or more of the Conflict Minerals as necessary to the functionality or production of the products they supply to Qualstar. In response to our RCOI, our responding suppliers identified 325 SORs in their CMRTs which may have processed Conflict Minerals contained in materials, components or products provided to us. A list of these SORs is set forth in Annex I. We cross-referenced these SORs against the list of facilities that have received a conformant designation from the RMI. Of the 325 identified SORs, 252 have received a "conformant" designation from RMI. Under RMI's standards, "conformant" means that a facility has been audited and is conformant with the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process assessment protocols.
Since only 81% of the Identified Suppliers responded to our RCOI request for information, and because only 252 identified SORs are "conformant," we are unable to determine whether any Conflict Minerals in products that we manufactured or had manufactured in 2017 financed or benefited armed groups in a Covered Country.
This Report has not been subject to an independent private sector audit in accordance with the SEC Statement.
Risk Mitigation Efforts
Qualstar intends to undertake the following additional steps to continue to mitigate any possible risk that the necessary Conflict Minerals in our products could benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:
| ● | Encourage Identified Suppliers to provide additional, product-level information through ongoing communications with them; |
| ● | Engage Identified Suppliers that provided incomplete responses, or failed to provide a response, for the Reporting Period to ensure that such suppliers provide a complete response for the calendar year ended December 31, 2017; |
| ● | Continue to conduct and report annually on supply chain RCOI for the applicable Conflict Minerals; |
| ● | Continue to refine our risk management strategy based on the results of our RCOI efforts; and |
| ● | Communicate to any new suppliers our expectations with respect to Conflict Minerals, including through delivery of our Conflict Minerals Policy and our supplier qualification and assessment process. |
