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 | 20.63% | Below 33% | Interest-bearing debt is just 20.6% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. | Pass |
| Interest-bearing cash | 0.34% | Below 33% | Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 0.3% of assets, under the one-third limit. | Pass |
| Receivables | 10.01% | Below 49% | Money owed to the company is 10.0% of assets, under the 49% limit. | Pass |
| Revenue purity | 1.99% | Below 5% | Only 2.0% 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.
