The company debt was redone in Dec 07 - yep thats right, in the middle of the credit crunch they managed to refinance for the next 3 years. For details on the multi currencym multi option facility read the ASX announcement http://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20071218/pdf/316k5dn3pyjkgw.pdf
I'm not one who believes that ABS will zoom off into the distance - i see it worth roughly $2.50 in the medium term and that means its currently cheap in my eyes - i'd not recommend anyone buy it, they can figure it themselves and choose accordingly.
