Five Screens, Shown in Full

Full pass across all five screens. This security clears the Titan Ethical Standard: its business and its balance sheet both stay inside the lines.

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 17.98% Below 33% Interest-bearing debt is just 18.0% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
Interest-bearing cash 0.71% Below 33% Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 0.7% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
Receivables 15.93% Below 49% Money owed to the company is 15.9% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
Revenue purity 0.87% Below 5% Only 0.9% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, under the 5% line. Pass

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.
