Inventory

All components of inventory are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. We adjust inventory to market value when the net realizable value is lower than the carrying cost of the inventory. Market value is determined based on estimated sales activity and margins.

The components of inventory as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, net of reserves of $659,000 and $539,000, respectively, are as follows:

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, we reserved an additional $120,000 of materials related to production issues. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we wrote off $37,000 and $10,000, respectively, of previously capitalized Lymphoseek inventory due to the consumption of the Lymphoseek material for product testing and development purposes.

We estimate a reserve for obsolete inventory based on management’s judgment of probable future commercial use, which is based on an analysis of current inventory levels, estimated future sales and production rates, and estimated shelf lives.
