Watching it for long time, now seems they really grow... I mean this is one of cool companies with real "organic growth" i.e. expansion of their business

The only good thing I can think is that there is only room to get better. Q1 balance sheet, income statement and cash flow are hideous. There is no cash on hand and lots of debt. With a market downturn very possible soon, I'm extremely wary.

Jumping on board because I think things are finally looking up for this company despite the thrashing over the last few months. Sales are increasing, but I'm a little uneasy about all that debt, honestly. Not buying this one with real money.

AHII is going to beat the Analysis Estimates by a long shot plus:

AHII: Recession Proof

This is a relatively recession-proof business. Medical professionals will order and use the supplies and equipment needed to treat their patients regardless of economic conditions. This is especially true in the commercial agricultural end of the business where the health of the animals is imperative to the well being of the business. While the typical pet owner might defer some routine treatment for their beloved dog or cat it is unlikely they will skimp on necessary care for illness or injury.

Animal Health International Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary, Walco International, Inc. and Kane Veterinary Supplies, Ltd., is engaged in distribution of animal health products supplies, services, and technology through operating divisions located throughout the United States, Canada and Taiwan. The Company sells more than 40,000 products sourced from over 1,500 manufacturers to over 65,000 customers, as well as provides consultative services. Products it distributes include pharmaceuticals, vaccines, parasiticides, diagnostics, capital equipment, sanitizers, devices and supplies. Its principal customers are veterinarians, production animal operators and animal health product retailers. It processes daily shipments from its central replenishment and distribution facility located in Memphis, Tennessee and 68 distribution locations located in the United States, Canada and Taiwan.
