Because of the nature of the products supplied by the Company, great attention is paid to inventory rotation. The number of days in inventory decreased from at approximately 85 days as of December 31, 2010 to approximately 81 days as of December 31, 2011. Where goods are estimated to be obsolete or unmarketable they are written down to a value reflecting the net realizable value in their relevant condition.
