INVENTORIES
Inventories at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, consisted of work in process at various stages of production and finished goods. This inventory, which consists primarily of mobile communication devices, is valued at the lower of cost (as calculated using the weighted average method) or market. The cost of the work in process consists of materials put into production, the cost of labor and an allocation of overhead costs. At December 31, 2012, we reserved $963,000 for certain inventory items where the market has not developed as expected. A reserve of $471,000 was recorded at December 31, 2011.
