As used in this Form SD, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Qualstar,” “we,” “our,” “Company” and similar references are to Qualstar Corporation and our consolidated subsidiaries.

Rule 13p-1 requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in Rule 13p-1 are necessary to the production or functionality of those products. The specified minerals are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (“conflict minerals”).

We manufacture or contract to manufacture products for which conflict minerals are necessary to the production or functionality of those products.
