+Added: The Company evaluates inventories for excess and obsolescence and lower of cost or net realizable value and, as necessary, writes down the valuation of inventories based on the Company’s review of inventory quantities on hand as compared with inventory aging, forecasted usage and sales, anticipated selling price, product obsolescence and other factors.
+Added: We identified the valuation of inventories as a critical audit matter.
+Added: Auditing the valuation of inventories, which includes write-down percentages applied to the different inventory categories for the adjustments for excess and obsolescence, involved especially challenging and subjective auditor judgments due to the nature and extent of effort required to address this matter.
+Added: The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
+Added: • Inquiring of various personnel in the Company including but not limited to finance and operations personnel about the expected product lifecycles and product development plans to understand and evaluate the Company’s methodology for determining inventory that is excess or obsolete and the key assumptions and judgments made as part of the process, including the write-down percentages used to write down the valuation of inventory.
+Added: • Assessing management’s estimate of write-down percentages by recalculating inventory turns and historical write-down percentages across multiple fiscal periods and comparing it with the write-down percentages used by management to evaluate management’s ability to accurately estimate excess and obsolete inventory.
+Added: • Testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data utilized in management’s excess and obsolescence analysis, including the classification of inventory by aging category.
