James, VSH will be assuming a debt load here, but the company has the financing to make a billion dollar acquisition (according to what Dr. Zandman said at the last annual meeting). The company then made a 300 mill. acquisition, subtracting the sale of parts of Temic to others. So, the company was being pretty conservative financially, since it could have swallowed an even bigger fish if the price were right. Also, from the perspective of the small long term investor, VSH chose to pay cash rather than dilute shares, which I prefer.
