ASDS - I took another look.

I am still concerned about the $5M investment on the books. The divvie paid by it is really low ($10K per quarter?). It's tough to say if carrying it at cost hides an issue (it's not worth the cost and company is hiding the roaches) or an opportunity (it's worth more than the cost and company is hiding a gem).

On the positive side, Q1 FCF was 200K vs. 65K in earnings. Assuming we can trust CF more, this is good.

I don't understand this:

Payments on notes payable (3,684) (3,936)
Proceeds from notes payable 3,621 3,617

Are they turning around their notes every quarter? WTH is this?

It seems to me that independent drugstore business should suck in this age of chains that have agreements with insurers + internet. I am not sure I would trust them not to overpay.

So I think I am still not buying. Any comments?
