Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
China Digital TV Holding Co., Ltd. has concluded in good faith that during 2015 we have manufactured or contracted to manufacture products which contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of these products (such minerals are referred to as "necessary conflict minerals"). Based on a reasonable country of origin inquiry, we have reason to believe that our necessary conflict minerals originated or may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country as defined in the instructions to Form SD.

This Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD, including the Conflict Minerals Report exhibit, contains forward-looking statements that are based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting CDTV. Certain matters contained herein concerning the future, including risk mitigation steps, constitute forward-looking statements and are based upon management's expectations and beliefs. There can be no assurance that these future events will occur as anticipated.

Inherent Limitations on Due Diligence Procedures
As a downstream purchaser of finished products containing conflict minerals, our due diligence procedures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of such materials. Our due diligence processes are based on the necessity of seeking data from our direct suppliers and those suppliers seeking similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of conflict minerals. We also rely, to a large extent, on information collected and provided by third parties. Such sources of information may yield inaccurate or incomplete information and may be subject to fraud.
