| Debt load | 7.18% | Below 33% | Interest-bearing debt is just 7.2% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. | Pass |
| Interest-bearing cash | 0.36% | Below 33% | Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 0.4% of assets, under the one-third limit. | Pass |
| Receivables | 2.17% | Below 49% | Money owed to the company is 2.2% 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 ReadThe Read, in Plain English
U.S. Energy clears the business-activity screen and the figures we can measure look clean, but one or more financial figures are still pending, so the verdict is not final yet.
Read as at 2026-11-04. It updates when the underlying figures move, and past reads are kept below.
2026-09-24
Clears
U.S. Energy clears all five screens. Its business is in a permissible area, its interest-bearing debt is about 7%, inside the ~33% line, and almost none of its income is interest, so it passes.
Earlier reads, kept as written. The ethical profile is tracked over time, not overwritten.
