Five Screens, Shown in Full

Does not pass. Business activity

TestFigureLimitWhat it meansStatus
Business activity Excluded Core business clean Prohibited sector: alcohol Fail
Debt load 0.00% Below 33% Interest-bearing debt is just 0.0% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
Interest-bearing cash 0.00% Below 33% Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 0.0% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
Receivables 0.00% Below 49% Money owed to the company is 0.0% of assets, under the 49% limit. 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.

The Ethical Read

Why It Falls Short, in Plain English

Barfresh Food Group, does not clear the screen at the business-activity stage. It operates in alcohol, so the financial ratios are not the deciding factor here.

Read as at 2026-10-27. It updates when the underlying figures move, and past reads are kept below.

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