Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for 48% and 40% of the Company’s inventories at June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used for the remainder of the inventories. If the FIFO method had been used for the inventories for which cost is determined using the LIFO method, inventories would have been $8,437 and $7,879 higher than reported at June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively.
