Their 10-K shows total debt of around $24 million. Be careful not to confuse total liabilities with total debt, in case that's what happened.Saj Karsanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493152766022812984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294165939647321702.post-68386488198865868442009-04-08T11:02:00.000-04:002009-04-08T11:02:00.000-04:00their products are expensive compared to Ikea and ...their products are expensive compared to Ikea and other places.. humm<BR/><BR/>also, total debt seems to be over 700 million. humm, am I missing anything here??
