This free snapshot doesn't read filing or proxy text, so the auditor-quality and governance checks that can lower a grade were not evaluated (red flags, auditor quality, say on pay, board independence, going concern, valuation). Those checks only ever lower a grade, so the full analysis can land below the grade above but never above it — treat it as the most favourable reading, not the settled one.
Duos Technologies Group, Inc. earns an F (Poor — capital at risk) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 8.5, placing it in the Safe zone. 5 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by accruals ratio (% of noa).
What the filings flag
+166.3%
FY2024→FY2025
Accruals ratio (% of NOA).Net operating assets grew +166.3% relative to their own average in FY2025 — scaled by NOA itself, not by total assets, which is what the Forensic Screens card's own accrual row divides by. Accruals are building sharply — a large slice of profit sits in operating assets, not cash. An accrual is a claim that still has to be collected or written down, so the gap resolves in a later period whichever way it goes. The build is led by PP&E up +901% against revenue +271% and receivables up +570% against revenue +271%. A cash-flow measure on the same base agrees: reported earnings ran ahead of operating cash by 15% of net operating assets, against an accruals ratio of 166.3%. The two are computed differently: the accruals ratio is the change in net operating assets over average net operating assets, while the cash-flow figure is net income less operating cash flow over that same average.
-14.7%
FY2025
Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is -14.7% in the latest fiscal year and rising across FY2023–FY2025 from -94.2%. After-tax operating profit was ($9M) in FY2023 and ($8M) in FY2025, with operating income at -153.2% of revenue in FY2023, -150.9% in FY2024 and -36.1% in FY2025. The capital base behind it grew +445% across FY2023–FY2025, from $10M to $52M, and the return did not fall doing it, so the dollars added over that window earned at least the -94.2% the older base was already earning.
10d DSO
FY2024→FY2025
Receivables vs revenue.Days sales outstanding moved from 5 to 10 days FY2024→FY2025 (receivables +570% vs revenue +271%). Receivables are creeping up relative to sales. Across FY2023–FY2025 the day count ran 71 → 5 → 10 days, so the latest reading sits on top of a record that was flat or falling before it — one year's move, not a direction the business has been travelling in. Deferred revenue was roughly flat (-62%) over the same period, which doesn't corroborate a benign upfront-billing explanation for the receivables build. Both figures are measured on period-end balances rather than the beginning-plus-ending average, because averaging needs the balance a year before every reading — FY2024's opening balance is on file, but across the 3 fiscal years read here (FY2023–FY2025) the average yields only 2 day counts (1 step), too few to tell a climb from one year's move.

n/m (stock split)
FY2023–FY2025
Share count (stock split).Diluted share count changed +112% over the last 2 years to FY2025, but that includes a large one-time change around FY2025 consistent with a stock split or reverse split, not gradual buybacks or issuance — a split changes the count with NO effect on any holder's proportional ownership, so the raw +45.6%/yr figure isn't a real buyback/dilution read here.
15% of rev
FY2025
Stock-based comp load.Stock-based compensation ran 15% of revenue in FY2025 — about $0.27 per diluted share. No cash left the business to pay it, which is why operating cash flow adds it back. Net of repurchases the diluted count still rose about 7.4% a year, above the level at which the count is a material claim on a stake, and only one year's change is on file — enough to state what a holder gave up, not enough to say whether the rate is climbing or coming down. Stock compensation is one source of that issuance; acquisition consideration, equity raises, convertibles and other employee plans also net into the count, and these figures do not separate them.
