WEISS INSTRUMENTS CONFLICT MINERALS STATEMENT

The conflict minerals rule adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission mandates assessment and reporting requirements for public companies whose manufactured products contain any of four conflict minerals – tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold.

Weiss manufactures and distributes internationally a variety of products from numerous manufacturers and suppliers. While we cannot fully certify to the contents of all the products we manufacture and distribute,

we have integrated conflict minerals compliance into our supply chain management processes as described below.
