The Company records its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company did not record any adjustments to reduce inventory to net realizable value. 
In September 2017, the State of Florida's citrus business, including the Company's unharvested citrus crop, was significantly impacted by Hurricane Irma. For the year ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a casualty loss on its inventory. In calculating this casualty loss, the Company made certain estimates. As of December 31, 2017, there were no revisions to these estimates which required any further inventory losses to be recorded. The Company continues to work closely with its insurers and adjusters to determine the amount of insurance recoveries, if any, the Company may be entitled to.
