Inventories, consisting of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost has been determined using the weighted average cost method.  Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

Raw materials and supplies		$	12,957			$	15,238
Work in process			439				439
Finished goods			5,334				5,377

One vendor accounted for 15% of inventory purchases during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, and one vendor accounted for 27% of inventory purchases for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022. We have arrangements with our vendors to purchase products based on purchase orders that we periodically issue.
