Exhibit 1.01

 

 

1.              Introduction

 

Cubic Corporation (“Cubic”) is a leading international provider of cost-effective systems and solutions addressing the mass transit and global defense markets’ most pressing challenges.  We have significant transportation and defense industry expertise which, combined with our innovative technology capabilities, contributes to our leading positions with our customers.

 

Cubic’s manufacturing processes use a wide array of products which may contain tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold (collectively known as “3TG”).  As these materials are necessary to the functionality of many Cubic products, our company is dedicated to tracing the origin of these metals.  Cubic is working to ensure our sourcing practices do not support conflict or human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) and surrounding areas (collectively with the DRC, the “Covered Countries”).  Cubic’s statement on supply chain responsibility can be found at https://www.cubic.com/corporate-responsibility.

 

2017 was a year of both challenge and opportunity.  For the first time, Cubic’s various subsidiary companies joined together on Cubic’s new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system that will, in future years, provide complete uniform data from all of our global locations. The implementation of the ERP system has also allowed us to centralize our procurement function and condense down the number of suppliers we use.

 

However, we also encountered some supplier resistance following the SEC’s public statement in April 2017 regarding the SEC’s enforcement priorities, with some suppliers declining to provide information.  Nevertheless, Cubic takes its responsibility as an ethical company seriously, and we continue to perform diligence on our supply chain and report our findings accordingly.

 

2.              Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

During 2017, Cubic and its subsidiary companies have manufactured or contracted to manufacture products for which 3TG is necessary to the functionality or production.  Based on a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) and subsequent due diligence, we have concluded in good faith that Cubic cannot definitively state whether its sourcing practices directly or indirectly funded armed groups in the Covered Countries; however, Cubic does not knowingly contribute to conflict through its sourcing of materials.

858-277-6780 • Fax 858-277-1876

www.cubic.com • NYSE: CUB

 



 

Cubic employed a combination of measures to determine whether the necessary 3TG in Cubic’s products originated from the Covered Countries. Cubic’s RCOI methods are discussed in Section 3 of this disclosure.  As a result of these findings, Cubic has exercised and continues to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of 3TG minerals in a manner that conforms to an internationally recognized due diligence framework (the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or “OECD”).  Cubic hereby submits its Conflict Minerals Report as the attached Exhibit 1.01, as required by Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 13p-1”).

 

Cubic determined that 240 vendors were in scope for the possibility of supplying goods containing 3TG.  In response to our requests for information, we received 102 Conflict Minerals Reporting Templates (CMRTs), a response rate of about 42% (down only a few percentage points from last year’s response rate of 44%).  Of the CMRTs returned, 48 stated that their products did not contain Conflict Minerals.  In addition, 10 CMRTs we received were dated June 2017 or earlier. Our requests for updated information were generally not answered, but our efforts to obtain this information are ongoing.

 

The table below shows the number of suppliers who stated that their products contained the 3TG minerals against the number of suppliers who were able to state that all smelters for that mineral were identified:

Proper smelter identification continues to be a difficult issue to resolve in conducting diligence. Smelters are often known by different names and smaller smelting operations may not be identified. This year, we were able to identify 321 legitimate smelters and refiners.  Cubic is pleased to report that 80% (257) of the identified smelters are DRC conflict-free and Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) Conformant.

 

3.              Cubic’s Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

 

To begin the RCOI for this reporting year, Cubic’s Procurement Administrator collected spend reports and purchasing data from each applicable Cubic subsidiary beginning in October of 2017; these subsidiaries are Cubic Defense Applications, Inc; Cubic Simulation Systems, Inc; Cubic Defence New Zealand Limited; Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc., GATR Technologies Inc., and Dtech Labs, Inc. (which has since been merged into GATR).

 

Each subsidiary list was converted to a standard format containing various pieces of information pertaining to the vendors, commodities, and cost, and then combined into a master list.  This process is time-consuming as each subsidiary had a different layout or “language” that required interpretation; however, Cubic’s global merge to its ERP system in the latter part of calendar year 2018 will create a smoother process to gather data for all subsidiaries. After the data filtering and cleansing process was complete, Cubic identified 240 unique, in-scope suppliers (down from over 800 last year).

Cubic grouped suppliers into three separate groups based on risk level.  Risk Levels were assigned to suppliers based on either (i) amount of spend, or (ii) purchase order line item count.  Risk Level 1 is comprised of the top 15% of high spend or high count suppliers; Risk Level 2 is medium spend or medium count suppliers; and Risk Level 3 is low spend or low count suppliers, or the bottom 15%.  This risk grouping allowed Cubic to prioritize diligence as time and resources were limited.

 

Once the grouping was complete, Cubic’s Procurement Administrator requested in-scope suppliers to report their 3TG sourcing information on the most recent revision (5.11) of the industry standard Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) provided by the EICC (Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition). Cubic continues to use SAP’s Product Stewardship Network in conjunction with our annual RCOI, and both Cubic’s Procurement Administrator as well as veteran suppliers uploaded CMRT’s to the PSN network for analysis.

 

As in past years, Cubic encountered some resistance from distributors, who frequently state that they do not track that information. In addition, this year we received many responses stating that conflict minerals reporting is no longer a legal requirement and that they would not comply with our request. As compliance with these requests is mandated by our standard terms and conditions, Cubic continued to engage with these suppliers and stress the importance of our requirements.

Conflict Minerals Report

 

I.                                        Cubic’s Exercise of Due Diligence under the OECD Guidance.

 

Cubic’s due diligence process is modeled after the 3rd Edition of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains, Supplements on Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten, and Gold (“OECD Guidance”).  The OECD Guidance highlights the importance of risk assessment and mitigation, supplier and smelter engagement, and the identification of red flags in the supply chain.

 

Due to the high non-response or incomplete response rate of several Cubic suppliers coupled with Cubic’s downstream position in the supply chain, Cubic has relied heavily on industry initiatives, such as the EICC’S CMRT and its membership in the Responsible Mineral Initiative (“RMI”) in order to ascertain the origin of the minerals in the components Cubic purchases.  Cubic continues to explore ways to increase its participation in these industry efforts in order to facilitate a greater transparency and more open communication from mine to manufacturer.

 

A.            Strong Company Management Systems.

 

Cubic has adopted a supply chain policy entitled Corporate Social Responsibility in Supply Chain Management which is based on the OECD Model Supply Chain Policy.  This policy sets forth Cubic’s commitment to avoiding doing business with any company sourcing from the DRC or otherwise contributing to armed conflict or human rights abuses anywhere in the world.  It also sets forth a summary of Cubic’s diligence process as detailed below:

 

I.                                         PURPOSE

 

Cubic Corporation recognizes the significant adverse impacts which may be associated with procuring minerals or goods containing minerals extracted from conflict-affected and high-risk areas.  As a responsible corporate citizen, we must respect human rights and not contribute to global conflict in the way we do business.  Cubic has developed this policy on Corporate Responsibility in Supply Chain Management to set forth its commitment to refrain from any action that contributes to the financing of conflict or that supports or encourages unlawful labor practices, and to comply with relevant United Nations sanctions resolutions (or, where applicable, domestic laws implementing such resolutions).

 

II.                                     SCOPE

 

This Policy is applicable to all Cubic companies.

 

4



 

III.                                 POLICY

 

A.             Serious Abuses in the Trade of Minerals and Risk Management

 

Cubic will neither tolerate, nor by any means profit from, contribute to, assist with, or facilitate the commission by any party of:

 

1.              Any forms of torture, cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment;

2.              Any forms of forced or compulsory labor, which means work or service which is exacted from any person under the menace of penalty and for which said person has not offered himself or herself voluntarily;

3.              Any forms of child labor;

4.              Other gross human rights violations and abuses such as widespread sexual violence;

5.              War crimes or other serious violations of international humanitarian law, crimes against humanity, or genocide.

 

We will immediately suspend or discontinue engagement of any supplier where we identify a reasonable risk that they are sourcing fro, or linked to, any party committing serious abuses as defined in this paragraph.

 

B.             Direct or Indirect Support to Non-State Armed Groups and Risk Management

 

Cubic will not tolerate any direct or indirect support to non-state armed groups through the extraction, transport, trade, handling, or export of minerals.

 

“Direct or indirect support” includes, but is not limited to, procuring minerals from, making payments to or otherwise providing logistical assistance or equipment to, non-state armed groups or their affiliates who:

 

1.              Illegally control mine sites or otherwise control transportation routes, points where minerals are traded, and upstream actors in the supply chain; or

2.              Illegally tax or extort money or minerals are traded; or

3.              Illegally tax or extort intermediaries, export companies, or international traders.

 

We will immediately suspend or discontinue engagement of any supplier where we identify a reasonable risk that they are sourcing from, or linked to, any party providing direct or indirect support to non-state armed groups as defined in this paragraph.

 

5



 

C.            Supply Chain Diligence

 

Cubic’s manufacturing operations often require the use of components containing tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold (“3TG”).  Regardless of their country of origin, these minerals are known as “conflict minerals.”  Cubic strives to procure components that are not manufactured using conflict minerals that directly or indirectly fund non-state armed groups.

 

To achieve this goal, Cubic has implemented procedures to conduct diligence on and analyze its supply chain.  This diligence includes periodic supplier visits, conducting an onsite Supplier Business Survey with questions on supply chain compliance, and annual country of origin inquiries.  These inquiries consist of contacting Cubic’s suppliers of components containing 3TG and inquiring as to the country of origin of their component parts.  Cubic maintains this information in a database so it can easily ascertain whether a certain supplier provides conflict free components to Cubic. Cubic also requires suppliers to supply conflict-free materials to Cubic, and to provide records evidencing the conflict-free status of the materials upon our request.

 

As Cubic continues to improve its supply chain processes, Cubic has amended and improved its policy to reflect current best practices in fuller detail in accordance with OECD guidance and its policy is publicly available on its website (via the link to this filing). Cubic has also either amended or is in the process of amending its U.S. and International terms and condition to require our suppliers to source only from conflict-free smelters and mines, and to provide us confirming information upon request.

 

In accordance with the OECD Guidance, Cubic has assigned senior level representatives from procurement and legal to oversee and jointly run its Conflict Minerals Team. Part of the Team’s legal function is to periodically report to the Board to outline current status of RCOI, diligence, and overall compliance efforts. We are currently in the process of forming a dedicated supply chain compliance team which will oversee supply chain compliance process and policy improvements, generally; supplier outreach, remediation and training; and supply chain diligence. This team is expected to be constituted by the end of Cubic’s fiscal year (September 30, 2018).  Cubic continues to improve its communication processes and ensure availability of resources to support the Conflict Minerals Team and its overall supply chain compliance efforts.

 

Supplier training on supply chain diligence and legal compliance is again planned for the next reporting year, which would be conducted by the Conflict Minerals team (consisting of the Procurement Administrator and Senior Counsel) and provide information and guidance on developing ethical sourcing programs, including how to develop policies, pass down requirements to suppliers, and analyze CMRTs.

 

We have established a dedicated email address for employee questions or concerns on conflict minerals, and included that email address in the training seminars. Senior management’s goal is to create and maintain awareness around conflict minerals and supply chain transparency generally and to continue to live our core value of “Doing The Right Thing” in all procurement activities.

B.            Identifying and Assessing Risks in the Supply Chain.

 

Cubic has historically encountered considerable difficulty in identifying upstream suppliers in its supply chain. This is because Cubic purchases many components necessary to its products from large distribution companies which are not subject to Rule 13p-1. Those distribution companies often purchase their stock of components from other distributors, and chain of custody and origin information is not being passed through the distribution network.

 

This reporting year, Cubic continued to identify and assess supply chain risks using our Conflict Minerals Playbook, which contains lists of identifiable red flags that require follow up and the level and nature of the risk each red flag presents. We discovered a number of red flags in our supplier CMRTs and were able to analyze them in the framework of our Playbook and follow up accordingly, including instruction to engage more upstream suppliers and request information from them.  We still plan to strengthen our risk assessment mechanisms as we continue to improve our compliance program.

 

C.            Responding to Identified Risks.

 

Cubic continues to work with its direct suppliers and distributors to reach further upstream and engage those upstream companies in a more effective way — namely, to avoid the use of non-Conflict Free Smelters and move towards sourcing from Conflict Free Smelters only. Cubic sometimes requires obsolete parts which limit our choice of suppliers; however, these parts were manufactured prior to the conflict mineral rule’s cut-off date and any 3TG in them would therefore be considered outside of the scope of Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act.

 

All the relevant supplier compliance documentation is housed on a dedicated file share website where quality, procurement and legal employees can easily check or reference the documentation.  We continue to work on a system where supplier ratings will be more informative and complete, and will allow us to act accordingly when presented with red flags during the diligence process.

 

D.            Third Party Audits.

 

Due to Cubic’s position as a downstream manufacturer, Cubic does not have any direct relationships with smelters or refiners. To help support the third party audit work done by RMI, Cubic became a member of RMI (then CFSI) in 2014 and has remained a member throughout this reporting period and presently. Cubic considers third party audits by the RMI to be vital to the continued development of the mining industry in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and will continue to support RMI audit initiatives.

 

7



 

E.             Annual Reporting on Supply Chain Diligence.

 

Cubic is committed to compliance with Rule 13p-1 not only as a legal requirement, but as a responsible business practice. We strive for transparency in our supply chain and will present our diligence and risk findings annually, as well as provide details about our ongoing efforts on our website at https://www.cubic.com/corporate-responsibility. Cubic is also trying to improve the quality and nature of existing information about smelters, so we have included our own research notes on each smelter within the CMRT we provide our own customers.

 

II.                                   Manufacturing and Product Information.

 

Cubic has not been able to ascertain with certainty the origin of all 3TG minerals necessary to the production of its products. These minerals are present in all of the electronics Cubic manufactures (specific products and components which contain 3TG are mentioned below in conjunction with the manufacturing facility mentioned).  Tin is used as a base for solder on all circuit boards, wires and cables, and in alloys; tantalum is the primary mineral component in capacitors; gold is a non-corrosive lead on circuit boards and connectors; and tungsten is used in wire or as counterweights.  This is just a sample of the many uses for these minerals in Cubic’s products and is not exhaustive.  As nearly all of Cubic’s products lines depend on 3TG minerals, all of these product lines are similarly affected. Cubic maintains manufacturing facilities in San Diego, California; Tijuana, Mexico; Tullahoma, Tennessee; Orlando, FL; Auckland, New Zealand; and Salfords, Redhill in the United Kingdom (“UK”).

 

Cubic’s facilities in San Diego, Tijuana, Orlando, and Auckland are dedicated to manufacturing processes for Cubic’s defense-related businesses. The Tijuana facility supports manufacturing for both the defense and the transportation business. These four facilities manufacture systems and components for its air, ground, and virtual training systems, data links, and personnel locator systems. Tijuana also manufactures hardware and cabling to support Cubic’s transportation business’s point-of-sale and farebox devices.

 

GATR Technologies in Huntsville, Alabama manufactures inflatable, portable satellite communication antennas.

 

DTech Labs (now part of GATR) in Ashburn, Virginia manufactures a range of rugged deployable and tactical communications products including specialized gateways to vehicular telematics systems.

 

Cubic’s facility in Tullahoma is the primary manufacturing location for Cubic Transportation Systems. The Tullahoma facility manufactures Cubic’s point-of-sale and farebox devices, driver control units, gates, ticket validators, vending devices, back office encoders, and depot computers.

 

Cubic’s facility in the UK performs light manufacturing work, such as installing upgrades or repairing equipment.

 

8



 

III.                              Cubic’s Supply Chain/Countries of Origin Identified.

 

Cubic’s diligence process revealed that many of its responding suppliers provide Cubic with products which are sourced from recycled and scrap, as well as from conflict-free smelters. Our access to the PSN together with the work done by Cubic’s Procurement Administrator, along with a refining assessment by Assent Compliance simplified the data work needed to cull those smelter entries, but still produced a list of over 321 legitimate smelters. However, as mentioned above, we were encouraged by the high representation of conflict-free smelters in our supplier CMRTs.

 

Cubic’s current process identified the following RMI conformant or LBMA-certified smelters (LBMA has added a materials traceability element to their certification process which meets the requirements of the RMI Conformance Program):
