Inventory Disclosure [Abstract] |
Inventories | INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost determined using the first-in, first-out cost method) or net realizable value and consists of the following (in thousands):
| At December 31,
| 2017 |  | 2016
Raw materials | $ | 3,316 |  |  | $ | 5,049 |
Finished goods | 6,598 |  |  | 10,016 |
Reserve for excess, obsolete, and slow moving inventories | (4,196 | ) |  | (5,596 | )
Inventories, net | $ | 5,718 |  |  | $ | 9,469 |
During 2017, we implemented a strategic sales initiative to sell certain excess inventory that had previously been written-down in conjunction with our excess inventory reserve analysis in prior years, as required by U.S. GAAP. This initiative resulted in a net reduction of our gross inventory levels and excess inventory reserves of $5.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in 2017. During the first half of 2016 we initiated an aggressive inventory procurement plan in order to meet the expected demand based on the commercial sales growth experienced during the first six months of the year. While we did not achieve this level of demand, we had already committed to inventory purchases into the third quarter due to manufacturing and shipment lead times. As a result, our gross inventory levels increased $5.0 million as of December 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015. After evaluation of historical sales, current economic trends, forecasted sales, and product lifecycles, we charged $3.3 million to cost of sales from continuing operations for excess, obsolete, and slow moving inventories in 2016 compared to $1.7 million in 2015.
