_______________________________________
(1) Due to the immaterial amount of estimated work in process and the short lead times for the conversion of raw materials to finished goods, we do not believe the segregation of raw materials and work in process is meaningful information.
We review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory primarily based on estimated future demand and current market conditions. A significant change in customer demand and/or market conditions could render certain inventory obsolete and could have a material adverse impact on our operating results in the period the change occurs.
