Note 2 - Inventories

The Company's inventories consist primarily of work-in-process inventory, as well as raw materials and finished goods inventory related to the Company's Los Angeles print operation. Work-in-process consists primarily of unbilled labor and overhead costs. Raw materials are stated at the lower of cost or market.

The majority of the Company's inventories are valued on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The remaining inventories are valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The Company periodically evaluates the realizability of inventories and adjusts the carrying value as necessary.
