Are you a short term / medium term trader ? In that case you can proceed as you feel, but if you are a long term investor like me, you can be different.
I have bought my holdings in this company for the very long term. I am very impressed by this company and its management, and I don`t plan to sell the shares either now or at any time in future.

There is no debt at all. They don`t believe in debt. They earn interest on their FD`s etc. which is shown as other income, and this interest is far larger than the nominal interest they pay to the Bank.
There is steady turnover & profit growth, quarter after quarter, year after year. All in all, an excellent company.
