Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of the cost or market.  Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO“) method.  Market is determined based on the estimated net realizable value, which generally is the item’s selling price.  Inventory is periodically reviewed in order to identify obsolete, damaged or impaired items.

 

Inventory consists of finished goods that are sold to customers and used for minor repairs of ReliAlertTM, Shadow, and other tracking devices. Completed ReliAlertTM, and other tracking devices are reflected in Monitoring Equipment.  As of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively, inventory consisted of the following:
