Sevcon SD Conflict minerals disclosure

Exhibit 1.02

Sevcon, Inc.

Conflict Minerals Report

For the reporting period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013

Due Diligence

This Conflict Minerals Report of Sevcon, Inc. has been prepared pursuant to SEC Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (the “Rule”) for the reporting period January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013.

The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufac­ture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals, which we collectively refer to in this Report as the “conflict minerals,” are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. The “Covered Countries” for the purposes of the Rule and this Report are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola. As described in this Report, the Company manufactures, or contracts to manufacture, products for which conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production.

As a producer of electronic equipment, Sevcon uses a supply base consisting mostly of electronic component manufacturers, distributors and assemblers. Therefore, the facilities used to process the necessary conflict minerals in those products, and the country of origin of the necessary conflict minerals in those products are several steps down the global electronics supply chain.

Sevcon engaged in a reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) described in Form SD to which this report is an exhibit. Sevcon was unable to determine that none of the conflict minerals contained in its products originated in the Covered Countries. Consequently, Sevcon has exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of its products. The due diligence methodology applied by Sevcon is based in all material aspects on the OECD “Five-Step Framework for Risk-Based Due Diligence in the Mineral Supply Chain,” including the relevant mineral specific supplements.

Sevcon has:

1. Established strong company management systems, by having:

a. Established a policy to work towards eliminating conflict minerals from its supply chain, and has informed all suppliers of the objectives and reporting requirements.

b. Allocated internal management resource and responsibility for supplier chain due diligence

c. Established a system of controls and transparency over the mineral supply chain. The details of this are described below.

d. Strengthened company engagement with suppliers. Where new supplier contracts are drafted, conflict minerals objectives and reporting requirements are being included.

e. Made available the company Environmental Corrective and Preventive Action Procedure available for investigation of any risks relating to Conflict Minerals, with input to the EICC® GeSI program where appropriate.

2. Identified risk in the supply chain, and assessed the adverse impact of those risks.

3. Designed and implemented a strategy to respond to identified risks.

4. Utilized the EICC GeSI reporting program to analyse the responses of its manufacturers and suppliers.

5. Reported the results of our supply chain due diligence publicly in Form SD as well as internally to senior management.

We have 13 direct manufacturers/suppliers for our products and their components. Of these manufacturers/ suppliers, all were within the scope of our RCOI. We conducted a survey of these manufacturers/suppliers using the template developed jointly by the companies of Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and The Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), known as the CFSI Reporting Template (the “Template”). The Template was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters that provide material to a company’s supply chain. It includes questions regarding a company’s conflict-free policy, engagement with its direct suppliers, and a listing of the smelters the company and its suppliers use. In addition, the template contains questions about the origin of conflict minerals included in their products, as well as supplier due diligence.

Of the manufacturers/suppliers within the scope of our RCOI, 34% confirmed as not supplying parts containing conflict minerals or using conflict minerals in their production process. This equated to 13% of unique parts used by Sevcon. Of the remaining manufacturers/suppliers, 40% submitted responses in the appropriate EICC GeSI format. Of the responding suppliers, none were able to confirm that all of their supplying conflict minerals smelters were listed as compliant on the CFSI lists.

Products

The products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by Sevcon in calendar year 2013 were –

1. Motor controllers for electric and hybrid vehicles

2. On-board battery chargers for electric and hybrid vehicles

3. DC/DC convertors for electric and hybrid vehicles

4. Other drivetrain system components for electric and hybrid vehicles

5. Industrial Capacitors

Our efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the necessary conflict minerals in our products with the greatest possible specificity consisted of the due diligence measures described in this conflict minerals report. In particular, because independent third party audit programs validate whether sufficient evidence exists regarding country, mine and/or location of origin of the conflict minerals that the audited smelter or refiner facilities have processed, we relied on the information made available by such programs for the smelters and refiners in our supply chain. We were unable to ascertain the country of origin and/or chain of custody of all necessary conflict minerals processed by the facilities that contributed to our products because, for this reporting period, certain smelter and refiner facilities (1) had not yet received a “conflict free” designation from an independent third party audit program and (2) did not respond to our requests for country of origin or chain of custody information.

With respect to the products on which Sevcon exercised due diligence, the following table lists the facilities which, to the extent known, processed the necessary conflict minerals in our products:

Continuous Improvement Strategy

In order to improve from the above initial results and to mitigate the risk that our necessary conflict minerals will benefit armed groups, Sevcon is taking the following actions:

a. Working with the suppliers, sub-suppliers and manufacturers to engage with the smelter to enrol in the EICC GeSI Conflict Free Smelters program;

b. Failing action a, Working with the supplier and sub-supplier to select an alternative conflict minerals supplier with supplying smelters participating in the EICC GeSI Conflict Free Smelters program;

c. Failing action b, selecting an alternative supplier or sub-supplier who can offer conflict-free materials with supplying smelters participating in the EICC GeSI Conflict Free Smelters program.

d. Monitoring progress towards conflict-free status, by reporting trends publicly and within Sevcon and its supplier base.
