Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01. Conflict Minerals Disclosure Report
American Power Group Corporation (“we”, “us” or “our”) has evaluated our products and we have determined that tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold, collectively “conflict minerals,” as defined by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, are necessary to the functionality or production of our products.
We assemble our products from of parts and materials purchased from numerous suppliers. We exercised due diligence regarding the source and chain of custody of our conflict minerals by conducting a supply-chain survey and/or making inquiries with direct suppliers of materials containing or potentially containing conflict minerals. We do not currently have sufficient information from our suppliers or other sources to determine the country of origin of the conflict minerals in our products or to identify the facilities used to process those conflict minerals. We are therefore unable, after exercising our due diligence, to determine whether our products contain conflict minerals that may have originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “DRC”). As such, our products produced in the calendar year 2013 are DRC Conflict Undeterminable.
A copy of our Conflict Minerals Report for the reporting period January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 is filed as Exhibit 1.02 hereto and is also available at our website www.americanpowergroupinc.com under the heading “Investors - Governance and SEC Filings.”
