Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Overview

References in this report to "RELM," "we," "our," or "us" mean RELM Wireless Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires.

Our Conflict Minerals Policy

We fully support Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Form SD (collectively, the "Conflict Minerals Rule") and are committed to responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals (as defined below) as well as compliance with the requirements of the Conflict Minerals Rule. RELM is committed to identifying the potential conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured by RELM or for RELM by a contract manufacturer and determining the country of origin of any potential conflict material.

In furtherance of the foregoing, we have adopted and communicated to our suppliers and the public a company policy (the "Conflict Minerals Policy") for the supply chain of Conflict Minerals. As used herein and in the Conflict Minerals Policy, "Conflict Minerals" are columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite and the derivatives tantalum, tin and tungsten, without regard to the location of origin.

Our Conflict Minerals Policy indicates that suppliers who do not comply with the foregoing expectations will be reviewed and evaluated accordingly for future business and sourcing decisions

Applicability of the Conflict Minerals Rule to Our Company

As a company engaged in the manufacture of land mobile radio communications equipment, our products utilize certain electronic components that potentially contain Conflict Minerals. A review of the products provided was completed in 2014 (covering the 2013 period). It was determined that potential Conflict Minerals could feasibly be found within or as part of the production process of our products

We believe that we are in most cases many levels removed from mines, smelters and refiners and have limited influence over the mines, smelters, refiners and many of the other vendors in our supply chain. However, through the efforts described in this Form SD and the Conflict Minerals Report included as an exhibit hereto, we seek to ensure that our sourcing practices are consistent with our Conflict Minerals Policy and to encourage conflict free sourcing in our supply chain.

Reasonable Country of Origin Information

In connection with the reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) required by the Conflict Minerals Rule, RELM utilized the same process and procedures established for our due diligence. We designed our due diligence measures relating to Conflict Minerals to conform with, in all material respects, guidance established by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) for responsible sourcing of minerals, and on the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-affected and High-risk Areas.

As a result of RELM's RCOI and ongoing due diligence, RELM does not yet have sufficient information sources to determine the country of origin of the conflict minerals used in our products or identify the facilities used to process those conflict minerals. Therefore, we cannot exclude the possibility that some of these conflict minerals may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country and/or are not from recycled or scrap sources.

As such, RELM's products produced in calendar year 2013 are "DRC Conflict Undeterminable." As a result we have filed a Conflict Minerals Report.
