Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We periodically review the value of items in inventory and record any necessary write downs of inventory based on our assessment of market conditions.  No inventory reserve was considered necessary as of April 30, 2018. We recorded a write down of $0.4 million to adjust our fresh fruit inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value as of October 31, 2017.
