Inventories Inventories
Our inventories consist almost entirely of finished goods inventory, with an immaterial amount of work-in-process inventory. The cost of all inventories is determined by the moving average cost method. We have included all material charges directly incurred in bringing inventory to its existing condition and location. We evaluate our inventory value at the end of each quarter to ensure that inventory, when viewed by category, is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which also considers items that may be considered damaged, excess, and obsolete inventory.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we recorded a lower of cost or net realizable value reserve of $9.8 million as a result of the decrease in the value of our structural lumber and panel inventory related to the decline in wood-based commodity prices as of the end of the period. In addition, volatility during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 also resulted in a decline in wood-based commodity prices as of the end of the period such that a lower of cost or net realizable value reserve of $4.1 million was required, resulting in a partial release of our reserve resulting in a net beneficial impact of $5.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. For the first nine months of fiscal 2022, the net impact of our lower of cost or net realizable value reserve on cost of sales was $4.1 million.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we recorded a lower of cost or net realizable value reserve of $16.7 million as a result of the decrease in the value of our structural lumber and panel inventory related to the decline in wood-based commodity prices as of the end of the period. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we released a lower of cost or net realizable value reserve of $16.7 million, as the inventory impacted by the reserve recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was sold to customers. For the first nine months of fiscal 2021, the net impact of our lower of cost or net realizable value reserve on cost of sales was zero.
