Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of QuickLogic Corporation (“QuickLogic” or the “Company”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 and attached as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD.
The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products and the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals referred to as “Conflict Minerals” are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolfamite, including their derivatives which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. The “Covered Countries” for purposes of the Rule and our Report are the Democratic Republic of Congo (the “DRC”), the Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.
We develop and market low power customizable semiconductor solutions that enable customers to differentiate their products by adding new features, extending battery life, and improving the visual experience with their mobile, consumer and enterprise products. We are a fabless semiconductor company that designs, markets and supports primarily Customer Specific Standard Products, or CSSPs, and, secondarily, Field Programmable Gate Arrays, or FPGAs, associated design software and programming hardware. Our CSSPs are customized semiconductor solutions created from our new solution platforms. As a semiconductor company, we have concluded that Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of our products.
Our products are manufactured by our industry recognized suppliers in accordance with our specifications. As detailed in our Report, we conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) reasonably designed to determine if any of these Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and whether any of the Conflict Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources. Our RCOI primarily consisted of submitting the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) prepared by the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”), an initiative of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global eSustainability Initiative (“EICC-GeSI”) to the first tier contract manufacturers of our devices in 2014. Responses were reviewed for completeness, reasonableness and consistency, and we routinely followed up with our contract manufacturers for corrections and clarifications. During 2014, we became a member of the CFSI, the industry initiative which audits the due diligence activities of smelters and refiners. Through our membership in the CFSI, we receive Compliant Smelter Detailed Sourcing Information (“CSDSI”) which we rely upon when reviewing the information provided to us by our first tier contract manufacturers.
Based on our RCOI, we were unable to determine that the Conflict Minerals did not originate in the Covered Countries, or if our Conflict Minerals came from recycled or scrap sources, and concluded that our products are DRC conflict undeterminable.
