G. Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market value, and consists of materials, labor and overhead. On a quarterly basis, the Company uses consistent methodologies to evaluate inventory for net realizable value. The Company reduces the value of inventory for excess and obsolete inventory, consisting of on-hand and non-cancelable on-order inventory in excess of estimated usage. The excess and obsolete inventory evaluation is based upon assumptions about future demand, history, product mix and possible alternative uses. Inventory was comprised of the following:


	September 30, 2012		June 30, 2012
Raw materials	$	18,467	$	11,246
Work in process		13,648		8,979
Finished goods		8,323		5,620

Total	$	40,438	$	25,845

The $14,593 increase of inventory was primarily due to inventory from the Micronetics acquisition, valued at $12,080 at the date of acquisition. There are no amounts in inventory relating to contracts having production cycles longer than one year.
