>And the debt is only 40% of last years cash flow from operations. This suggests that they probably could have accomplished all their objectives without the borrowing, but it would have left them with less flexibility going forward.<

thanks once again for the excellent feedback, harry. a good discussion and you taught me a thing or three.

i didn't mean to overly focus on debt, however, i very recently suffered a stock implosion with similar "warning signals." debt, inventory, and A/R were climbing, but management appeared to have legit rationale (due to previous production constraints and the transition of manufacturing to another country). when i saw similarities here, albeit on the surface, it sorta spooked me.

fwiw, i plan on pitching this one to my stock club next month. those boys and girls seem to love retail.

OT: got an opinion on SBUX new and improved price?

thanks again,
-chris.
