"Are you saying they could holding wafers at metal for instance, and not have to value them as inventory?"

It is my understanding, and by no means am I any kind of expert on this, that inventory value of unfinished goods is based on it's costs at the time it is inventoried. So if half completed wafer is inventoried (for example), it's value would be $1000 or so. That would be significantly less than completed and packaged chips.
