Inventory

The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing U.S. inventories. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory determination.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded overall LIFO benefits of $301 and the LIFO reserves were reduced by the same amounts. No comparable benefits were recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2011.
