INVENTORIES

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2015

Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost (first-in, first-out) or market value. Cost elements included in inventory are material, labor, subcontract costs, and manufacturing overhead. As necessary, we record provisions and maintain reserves for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory. To determine reserve amounts, we regularly review inventory quantities on hand and values, and compare them to estimates of future product demand, market conditions, production requirements and technological developments.

Inventories consist of the following at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and include reserves of $3,162 and $3,117, respectively:



	March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014

Work-in-process	10,242		11,528
Finished goods	15,017		12,782
