As more fully described in note 3 to the financial statements, the Company elected, at the beginning of 2010, to change its method of valuing its recycling inventory to the lot specific (specific identification) cost method, whereas in all prior fiscal periods the Company’s recycling inventory was valued using the average cost method. Consequently, the Company’s financial statements referred to above have been restated to conform with the new method of valuing its recycling inventory.
