	The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market. Raw steel is valued on the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. Other inventories are valued on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Inventories valued on the LIFO method would have been approximately $1.8 million higher at March 31, 2012 and $1.9 million higher at June 30, 2011, if they had been valued on the FIFO method. At March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, the total value of LIFO inventory was $2.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. A comparison of inventories is as follows (in thousands):
