Two things I noticed in looking at Hyde's 10Q very quickly. 1- They have $50M in inventory and receivables which is about 26 weeks of sales. 2- Their net profit margin is about 1.5%. The inventory and receivables may make the balance sheet look attractive but it may not be solid, especially with winter knocking at the door. I don't know what the running shoe trade is like but if product can be returned for credit then I would view these amounts as a yellow flag. Not to say you shouldn't run with it but I would tread carefully <g>. Stuart.
