Exhibit 1.01
Conflict Minerals Report of IntriCon
Corporation
in Accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Explanatory Note
This is the Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of IntriCon Corporation (the “Company”) for calendar year 2015 in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”). Please refer to Rule 13p-1, Form SD, and the 1934 Act Release No. 34-67716 for definitions of the terms used in this Report, unless otherwise defined herein.
Rule 13p-1 requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products and any of the minerals specified in Rule 13p-1 are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The minerals specified in Rule 13p-1 are collectively referred to as Conflict Minerals. For purposes of Rule 13p-1 and the related disclosures, the term “Conflict Minerals” is defined to include: (A) columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to metallic forms of tin, tantalum and tungsten, or (B) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or any adjoining country that shares an internationally recognized border with the DRC. The “Covered Countries” for the purposes of Rule 13p-1 and this Report are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola. As described in this Report, Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of certain of the Company’s products that the Company manufactures or contracts to manufacture.
Description of the Company and the Products Covered by this Report
The Company is an international company engaged in designing, developing, engineering, manufacturing and distributing body-worn devices. The Company serves the body-worn device market by designing, developing, engineering, manufacturing and distributing micro-miniature products, microelectronics, micro-mechanical assemblies, complete assemblies and software solutions, primarily for the emerging value hearing health market, the medical bio-telemetry market and the professional audio communication market. Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of certain of the Company’s products that the Company manufactured or contracted to manufacture and for which the manufacture was completed during calendar year 2015 (the “Covered Products”). The Covered Products include:
| · | hearing aids and hearing aid components; | |
| · | cardiac monitoring devices; | |
| · | medical telecoils; and | |
| · | professional audio devices and accessories. |
Page 5 of 16
The Company does not purchase ore or unrefined Conflict Minerals from mines and is many steps removed in the supply chain from the mining of Conflict Minerals. The Company purchases materials used in its products from a large network of suppliers. The Company must therefore rely on its supply chain to provide information regarding the origin of the Conflict Minerals that are included in the Covered Products. Moreover, the Company believes that the smelters and refiners of the Conflict Minerals are best situated to identify the sources of Conflict Minerals, and the Company has therefore requested suppliers take steps to identify the applicable smelters and refiners of Conflict Minerals in the Company’s Covered Products supply chain.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
The Company conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) with respect to the Conflict Minerals included in the Covered Products. Such RCOI was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals included in the Covered Products originated in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources.
The Company began the RCOI by (i) creating a list of part numbers of component parts that the Company utilizes in the Covered Products, and (ii) identifying the names of the suppliers from whom the Company obtained such parts. The list of suppliers was then provided to the Company’s third-party service provider for upload to their software tool that allows the Company to store and manage supplier requests and documentation.
The service provider then conducted the supplier survey portion of the RCOI. Utilizing the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “CMRT”), version 4.01b, developed by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative, the suppliers were surveyed on the sourcing of the Conflict Minerals identified in the Company’s products.
As part of the survey, suppliers were asked to complete the survey and were provided educational materials on how to complete the form. In completing the CMRT, each supplier was asked, among other questions; whether the products or components they supplied to the Company contained Conflict Minerals; the origin of such Conflict Minerals; to identify the sources of Conflict Minerals from their lower tier level suppliers; to determine the smelter or mine origin or whether the Conflict Minerals were sourced from recycled or scrap sources. The service provider also followed up with suppliers that did not respond to the request to complete the CMRT. All communications were tracked and monitored by the service provider’s software tool. Suppliers were asked to return a copy of the CMRT once completed via email, or to upload the CMRT directly to the service provider’s portal. All submitted CMRTs were automatically analyzed by the software tool for completeness and internal consistency and against lists of known smelters and refiners. If information on the CMRT returned from a supplier appeared to be incomplete, incorrect, or not trustworthy, the supplier was contacted with a request to complete or correct the questionable information.
In addition, the service provider assisted the Company in analyzing a supplier’s risk of sourcing from a Covered Country by rating each supplier’s RCOI response using a predetermined low, medium, and high risk rating system.
Through the RCOI, some of the Company’s suppliers disclosed that recycled or scrap sources of Conflict Minerals were identified in their supply chains and did not require due diligence. Based on the balance of the results of the RCOI, the Company could not definitively determine whether or not suppliers sourced Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries. Therefore, the Company determined that there was reason to believe that some of the Conflict Minerals necessary for the functionality of the Covered Products may have originated in a Covered Country. Accordingly, it was necessary for the Company to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of such Conflict Minerals.

Design of Due Diligence Framework
The Company’s due diligence measures have been designed to conform, in all material respects, to the framework in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas: Second Edition.
Due Diligence Measures Performed by the Company
The due diligence measures the Company performed related to the Covered Products included, but were not limited to, the following:
| · | The Company maintained an internal Conflict Minerals project team comprised of representatives from the Company’s corporate finance, quality and regulatory, and supply chain management departments to implement the Company’s Conflict Minerals due diligence. |
| · | The team reported to senior management on suppliers’ responses to the Company’s Conflict Minerals information requests. |
| · | The Company communicated its Conflict Minerals Policy to suppliers. A copy of the Company’s Conflict Minerals Policy is available at www.intricon.com. The content of any website referred to in this Report is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference into this Form SD. Contractual provisions which require that all products and materials sold to the Company do not include Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries that benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries were included in applicable purchase orders and new or renewed supplier contracts. |
| · | The Company reviewed supplier risk ratings based on the responses provided within their completed CMRTs. In the situation where the Company becomes aware of a potential risk in the supply chain, where an item being purchased is believed to have been sourced from a smelter or refiner which is supporting armed conflict in the Covered Countries, the Company will explore sourcing alternatives for the item in question and take appropriate action. |
| · | Compared the smelters and refiners identified in the RCOI against the list of Compliant Smelters on the Conflict Minerals Sourcing Initiative (CFSI) website. The Company does not typically have a direct relationship with smelters and refiners, and therefore does not perform or direct audits of their entities. Instead, reliance is on third party assurances and certifications such as from the CFSI’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program. |
| · | This Report, which constitutes the Company’s annual report of due diligence efforts is filed with the SEC and also is available on the Company’s website, at http://investorrelations.intricon.com/sec.cfm. |

Appendix A contains a list of known smelters and refiners reported by the Company’s suppliers which may have been used to process the Conflict Minerals utilized in the Covered Products. Based on the information obtained pursuant to the due diligence process, the Company does not have sufficient information with respect to those Covered Products purchased from its suppliers to determine the country of origin of the Conflict Minerals in those Covered Products. At the same time, the Company received no information from its suppliers indicating that the Conflict Minerals in the Company’s Covered Products directly or indirectly financed or benefitted armed groups in the Covered Countries.
Inherent Limitations on Due Diligence Measures
As a downstream purchaser of Conflict Minerals, the Company’s efforts undertaken to identify the source and chain of custody of Conflict Minerals in its products can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the necessary Conflict Minerals. The Company’s process relies on data obtained directly from suppliers and those suppliers seeking similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of the necessary Conflict Minerals. Such sources of information may yield inaccurate or incomplete information.

APPENDIX A
SMELTERS AND REFINERS
Set forth below are known smelters and refiners reported by the Company’s suppliers which may have been used to process Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products. It is difficult to confirm the accuracy of information that was collected and transmitted through many levels of the supply chain for the Covered Products. In some cases information was provided to the Company for the entire supply chain of a supplier, and was not necessarily limited to facilities that have been confirmed to contribute necessary Conflict Minerals to a Covered Product. Accordingly, the Company has been unable to definitively link the identified smelters and refiners to only those products/materials in its supply chain; therefore the following smelter and refiner list likely contains more processing facilities than are actually in the Company’s supply chain or Covered Products. As the Company’s engagement with its supply chain evolves, the list of facilities may change to reflect improvements in the quality of information provided.
