In connection with the reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) required by the Conflict Minerals Rule, BK TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION utilized the same process and procedures established for our due diligence. We designed our due diligence measures relating to Conflict Minerals to conform with, in all material respects, guidance established by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) for responsible sourcing of minerals, and on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.
In accordance with Rule 13p-1, BK TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION undertook due diligence reasonably designed to # identify whether there are any conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured by BK TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION or contracted by BK TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION to be manufactured, and if so # determine whether any of the minerals originated in the DRC or an adjoining country, or are from recycled or scrap sources. BK TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION designed its due diligence based on guidance issued by the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative ("CFSI") established by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative ("GeSI") ("EICC-GeSI Guidance"), and on the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's ("OECD") Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-affected and High-risk Areas ("OECD Guidance").
As a result of BK TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION's RCOI and ongoing due diligence (as described below), BK TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION does not have sufficient information to determine the country of origin of the conflict minerals used in our products or identify the facilities used to process those conflict minerals. Therefore, we cannot exclude the possibility that some of these conflict minerals may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country and/or are not from recycled or scrap sources.
