Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Dynasil Corporation of America evaluated its current product lines and determined that certain products we manufacture or contract to manufacture contained conflict minerals, as defined by paragraph (d)(3) of Item 1.01 of Form SD (the “Conflict Minerals”), and that these Conflict Minerals were necessary to the functionality or production of those products. As a result, Dynasil conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals contained in Dynasil’s products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or any adjoining country (the “Covered Countries”) or were from recycled or scrap sources.

For this reason, Dynasil has filed a Conflict Minerals Report as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD. A copy of the Conflict Minerals Report is publicly available at: www.dynasil.com under “Corporate Governance”.

Item 1.02 Exhibit

A copy of our Conflict Minerals Report is filed as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD.

Section 2 Exhibits

Exhibit 1.01 - Conflict Minerals Report as required by Items 1.01 and 1.02 of this Form SD.
