4. INVENTORIES

Inventories currently consist of MelaFind® systems and other finished products and accessories that are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventory accessories are purchased items to be sold for use in the operation of the MelaFind® systems. The Company maintains a reserve for specific inventory items that are no longer being used in the devices.

In December 2013, the Company changed its business model for the MelaFind® system from a rental-based model to a sales-based model. In accordance with this new sales model, the Company reclassified approximately $5.4 million of MelaFind® systems from property and equipment into inventory at December 31, 2013.
