On a gross debt basis - yes. On a net of cash basis, debt is $57mm or about 14 cents. Net debt to annualised operating cash flow is a bit under 3x which is manageable but I agree that this is not a debt free company so there is some risk. I would note that the debt is mainly from the Juken acquisition in late 2012. As of Dec 2011, the company only had $23mm of debt and cash was more than $30mm so debt free on a net basis. Hopefully, they will repay debt given the strong performance this year.
