Note 8:          Inventories

Inventories, consisting principally of appliances, are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a specific identification basis, or net realizable value and consist of:

We provide estimated provisions for the obsolescence of our appliance inventories, including adjustments to net realizable value, based on various factors, including the age of such inventory and our management’s assessment of the need for such provisions. We look at historical inventory aging’s and margin analysis in determining our provision estimate.  A revised cost basis is used once a provision for obsolescence is recorded. The Company does not have a reserve for obsolete inventory at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
