Inventories

12 Months Ended

Mar. 29, 2015

Inventories at March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014 consisted of the following:



	2015			2014
(In thousands)
Inventory (FIFO basis)	$	42,567		$	31,344
LIFO reserve	(5,539		)	(5,152		)
Net inventory	$	37,028		$	26,192

The FIFO value of inventories accounted for under the LIFO method was $39.0 million at March 29, 2015 and $28.5 million at March 30, 2014. The remainder of the inventory was valued and accounted for under the FIFO method.

We increased the LIFO reserve by $0.4 million in fiscal 2015 due primarily to higher levels of inventory at the end of the year, and decreased the reserve $1.9 million in fiscal 2014 due primarily to lower levels of inventory at the end of that year.
