Conflict
Minerals Report
For
The Calendar Year Ended December 31, 2023
Introduction
This
Conflict Minerals Report (this “Report”) of Syntec Optics Holdings, Inc. for the calendar year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Reporting
Period”) is filed in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”),
and pursuant to the Company’s Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD (“Form SD”) for the Reporting Period filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Rule imposes certain reporting and disclosure obligations on SEC
registrants for which cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite or their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and
tungsten (“conflict minerals”), are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured or contracted
to be manufactured by the registrant. References in this Report to “Syntec Optics,” the “Company,” “we”
or “our” refer to Syntec Optics Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, unless otherwise indicated
or the context otherwise requires.
Company
and Product Overview
Syntec
Optics is a technology leader that designs, develops and supplies a broad range of mission critical optics for scientific and technical
instruments and aerospace and defense OEMs. Syntec Optics has a history of innovation and offers products that are used in consumer,
defense, biomedical and communications end markets having end products such as night vision goggles, medical sensing and detecting equipment,
satellite communication systems, missile lasers guides, biometrics, infrared/thermal imaging, ordinance optics, head mounted displays,

their customers with high performance, optics based systems that may enhance medical diagnosis, may increase global communication capabilities,
may serve as a force multiplier for the United States Defense forces and its allies and may augment consumers interaction with technology.
Design of Conflict Minerals Program
Syntec
Optics’ due diligence framework with regards to conflict minerals, which is summarized below, conforms to the Organization for
Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains for Minerals from Conflict-Affected
and High Risk Areas and the Supplements on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and on Gold.
Step
1 - Establish strong company management systems
Step
2 - Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
Step
3 - Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
Step
4 - Perform audit of the supply chain
Step
5 - Report annually on supply chain due diligence internally to management
Description
of Due Diligence Measures Performed
●
Sent Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”), a standardized reporting template developed by the Responsible Minerals
Initiative (“RMI”), request to suppliers and expectations of them to cooperate in providing due diligence information and
requested that suppliers return a completed CMRT.
●
Contacted suppliers who returned the CMRT that require follow-up based on internally defined criteria.
Results
of Our Due Diligence Measures
Syntec
Optics’ uses tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (“3TG”) in the design and manufacture of some of its products and is
therefore a “downstream” company in the conflict minerals supply chain. Due to the nature of our supply chain, we do not
typically have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners (“SORs”). Our manufacturing operations employ a wide variety of semiconductors, electromechanical
components and raw materials that are also supplied by other downstream companies in the supply chain. Our due diligence process involves
seeking data from our relevant suppliers, and these suppliers also seek similar information from their supply chain in order to identify
the sources for the necessary conflict minerals. We rely on the good faith efforts of our supply chain to provide reasonable data. We achieved
a response rate of 63% for our supply chain survey.
Many
of our suppliers sourced 3TG from a variety of upstream sources and provided information to Syntec Optics on an aggregated, company-wide
level. Due to the fungible nature of these materials, we understand that these suppliers were unable to trace the 3TG that they source
into the products provided to any particular customers (including Syntec Optics). As a result, our list of SORs may contain more facilities
than are actually used in our supply chain. In addition, our list of SORs may not include all the SORs in our supply chain, as our suppliers
were unable to identify the SORs of some of the conflict minerals. To the extent reasonably possible, Syntec Optics has documented the country
of origin of identified smelters and refiners based on information received through the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”),
surveys of smelters and refiners, and/or reviews of publicly available information.
As a result, as of December 31, 2023, we had a total of 344 SORs in our
2023 supply chain (See Appendix I), of which 224 SORs have been validated as conformant. Syntec Optics intends to continue to evaluate
and improve our due diligence program and engage with our suppliers to identify the origin and chain of custody of 3TG minerals in our
products with an aim to achieve a Conflict Free Supply Base.
As
previously noted, because of the nature of our supply chain, we do not typically have any direct relationship with 3TG SORs. Therefore,
as noted above, we contributed to the improvement of SOR diligence practices by working through our supply chain.
Ongoing Improvement Efforts
For
the next reporting period, we intend to continue taking steps to further mitigate the risk that conflict minerals that are necessary
to the functionality or production of our products finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries, (together, the
(“DRC”).
These
steps include:
●
work with relevant suppliers to update their conflict minerals reporting template using the latest CMRT and verify the identified smelters
with RMI’s most current list;
●
continue to refine our conflict minerals program to improve our reasonable due diligence measures in our efforts to determine the source
and chain of custody of conflict minerals;
●
continue to work with suppliers and others on industry-wide solutions to enable products that are DRC conflict free; and
●
extend Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) and due diligence measures to any of our recently acquired entities and businesses.

as required by law.
Table of Our Conflict Minerals Processing Smelters
or Refiners
Set
forth in the tables below are lists of the 344 SORs facilities identified by our suppliers as possibly being used to process their necessary
conflict minerals. The SORs status set forth in the lists below are based on information provided by RMI. Our efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of our necessary conflict minerals are set forth above in “Description
of Due Diligence Measures Performed” and “Results of Our Due Diligence Measures.”
