2. INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of the following:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. The cost of inventories comprises expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, the cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. The Company records adjustments to its inventory for estimated obsolescence or diminution in net realizable value equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated net realizable value. Once inventory has been written down, it creates a new cost basis for inventory that may not be subsequently written up. For the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any write-down of inventories.
