    50 cycles dirty tactics - how low can you go

    can't see anything wrong with their 2013 balance sheet, other than gearing ratio (total liabilities to equity ratio) a bit high, but that's the normal nature of a UK distributor, the supplier supply a large amount of stock on credit for display at various point of sales.
