- Business activity Bank — FAIL on business activity Fail
- Debt load Interest-bearing debt is just 0.9% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling — it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
- Interest-bearing cash Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 7.1% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
- Receivables Money owed to the company is 3.3% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
- Revenue purity 81.3% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, over the 5% line. Fail
Every security is read against two recognised standards: our stricter asset-based screen (ratios measured against total assets) and the more widely used market-value standard (measured against market capitalisation). Where they agree we say so plainly; where they part ways — almost always on the debt check — we show both readings and mark it, because that disagreement is the finding, not a fault. We report the score; you and your scholar make the call.
