This Form SD of Interlink Electronics, Inc. is filed in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 13p-1”) for the reporting period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016. As used in this Form SD, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Interlink,” “we,” “our,” “Company” and similar references are to Interlink Electronics, Inc. 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”). The “Covered Countries” for the purposes of Rule 13p-1 are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.

We manufacture or contract to manufacture products for which conflict minerals are necessary to the production or functionality of those products. We conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding such conflict minerals, which was designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources. Our reasonable country of origin inquiry is described in our Conflict Minerals Report, which is filed as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD, and is publicly available on our website at www.interlinkelectronics.com under “Investors—Corporate Governance.”
