8. Inventories

 

ASC 330-10-35, “Adjustments to Lower of Cost or Market”, requires us to reduce the carrying value of inventory when there is evidence that the utility of goods will be less than cost, whether due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels or other causes.

 

As of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, inventories consisted of the following:

 

    December 31, 2014     June 30, 2014  
At cost:                
Raw materials   $ 654,008     $ 1,058,697  
Work in progress     667,284       842,276  
Finished goods     4,643,248       5,000,511  
Consumable items     3,304,748       3,442,586  
    $ 9,269,288     $ 10,344,070  

 

Costs of finished goods include direct labor, direct materials, and production overhead before the goods are ready for sale.

 

Consumable items represent parts used in our cold rolling mills and other equipment that need to be replaced from time to time when necessary to ensure optimal operating results, such as auxiliary materials and rollers.

 

Inventories amounting to $6,921,105 (June 30, 2014: $6,703,684) were pledged for short-term loans totaling $19,635,406 at December 31, 2014 (June 30, 2014: $19,647,434).
