14.      ADJUSTMENT TO INVENTORY

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company made a determination to adjust its inventory carrying value.  Heightened media and regulatory scrutiny in Mainland China in the first part of 2014, and the voluntary actions the Company took in response to such scrutiny, had a negative impact on the size of the Company's limited-time offer in June 2014, which significantly reduced its expectations for plans to sell ageLOC TR90 in a limited-time offer later in 2014 or the beginning of 2015.   This resulted in a $50.0 million write-down of estimated surplus inventory in Mainland China.  Total adjustments to the Company's inventory carrying value as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $40.3 million and $56.0 million, respectively.
