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.
| Test | Figure | Limit | What it means | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | 22.72% | Below 33% | Interest-bearing debt is just 22.7% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. | Pass |
| Interest-bearing cash | 4.10% | Below 33% | Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 4.1% of assets, under the one-third limit. | Pass |
| Receivables | 8.17% | Below 49% | Money owed to the company is 8.2% of assets, under the 49% limit. | Pass |
| Revenue purity | 0.54% | Below 5% | Only 0.5% 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.
The Ethical ReadWhy It Clears, in Plain English
Walt Disney Company (The) clears all five screens. Its business is in a permissible area, its interest-bearing debt is about 23%, inside the ~33% line, and almost none of its income is interest, so it passes.
