What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.
Business activity
No prohibited activity
Interest-bearing debt / market cap

Interest-bearing debt $126K ÷ 36-month average market cap $36.94M = 0.3%

Fail
Non-compliant income / total revenue

Interest income $1.14M ÷ annual revenue $99.30M (2025) = 1.1%
1.1%
Pass
Figures from the company's filings (2025-12-31), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict. Today's market cap: $33.90M.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 35.6% of total assets (2025-12-31). AAOIFI recommends tangible assets of at least one third — this figure does not affect the verdict, and other major screeners do not apply it either.
