Inventories
Inventories, net of reserves, consist of the following (in thousands):
Raw materials include finished yarn and direct materials for the basics segment and include direct embellishment materials for the branded segment as well as undecorated garments and headwear for the Junkfood and To The Game Business. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record reserves for obsolescence, excess quantities, irregulars and slow moving inventory based on historical selling prices, current market conditions, and forecasted product demand to reduce inventory to its net realizable value. During the fiscal 2012 second quarter, selling prices declined in basic, undecorated tees while high cost cotton remained in our inventory costs. We determined we would not be able to recover our cost of inventory based on this selling price decline. As such, we recorded a markdown of inventory, including firm purchase commitments, of $16.2 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2011.
