Five Screens, Shown in Full

Does not pass. Interest-bearing securities

TestFigureLimitWhat it meansStatus
Business activity Permissible Core business clean Its core business isn't built on prohibited lines: no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending. Pass
Debt load 1.50% Below 33% Interest-bearing debt is just 1.5% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
Interest-bearing cash 39.22% Below 33% Interest-bearing cash and securities are 39.2% of assets, above the one-third limit. Fail
Receivables 8.48% Below 49% Money owed to the company is 8.5% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
Revenue purity 7.19% Below 5% 7.2% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, over the 5% line. Fail

Five checks adapted from AAOIFI screening standards: business activity plus four balance-sheet ratios. All five must pass for ethical clearance. Every figure is arithmetic on public accounts, not judgement.

The Ethical Read

Why It Falls Short, in Plain English

NVE's business is fine, but its cash and interest-bearing securities are about 39% of its assets, just over the ~33% line, so it does not pass on the financial screens.

The risks · The things to watch: it's a small-cap, so the share price can swing harder than the market; it already moves more than the market on an average day; it carries a real debt load, which raises the stakes if revenue slips.
