Debt load 0.74% Below 33% Interest-bearing debt is just 0.7% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
Interest-bearing cash 111.16% Below 33% Interest-bearing cash and securities are 111.2% of assets, above the one-third limit. Fail
Receivables 0.00% Below 49% Money owed to the company is 0.0% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
Revenue purity 0.00% Below 5% Only 0.0% 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.
