During the second quarter of 2010, the Company began phasing out distribution of the Thermofocus thermometer due in part to falling customer demand and high product costs, and began accepting orders for the new Vera Temp Non-Contact thermometer. At various points during 2010, the Company determined that the estimated market value of the then remaining thermometer units on-hand had permanently fallen below their carrying cost. Therefore, during 2010 the Company recorded lower of cost or market adjustments aggregating $256,948 to reduce the thermometer inventory carrying value to estimated net realizable value. The estimated net realizable value was determined from recent selling prices of the product. The Company ceased distributing product on a consignment basis in 2009 and entered into a final settlement agreement with a consignment customer in 2010. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, inventory reserves for previously consigned product were $0 and $166,808, respectively. During 2010 and 2009, the Company reversed $166,808 and $163,990, respectively, of its reserve against inventory as this product was either sold and collected, or deemed by management to be permanently lost, damaged or not recoverable.
