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): 

		April 30, 2025				October 31, 2024
Raw materials and supplies		$	8,629			$	10,886
Work in process			537				530
Finished goods			3,408				3,309

For the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, no single vendor accounted for 10% or more of inventory purchases. For the six months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, no single vendor accounted for 10% or more of inventory purchases. We have arrangements with these vendors to purchase products based on purchase orders that we periodically issue.
