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.
Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc. earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 16.4, placing it in the Safe zone. 4 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by accruals ratio (% of noa).
What the filings flag
+91.5%
FY2024→FY2025
Accruals ratio (% of NOA).Net operating assets grew +91.5% 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 +51% against revenue +65%. This is the fifth straight fiscal year of building accruals — an even longer streak than the 3-year mark that already signals a materially stronger tell. A cash-flow measure on the same base disagrees: reported earnings ran in line with operating cash by 3% of net operating assets, against an accruals ratio of 91.5%. 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. Read them as two results, not one.
+7.7%/yr
FY2022–FY2025
Share-count dilution.Diluted share count changed +25% over the last 3 years to FY2025 (+7.7%/yr). The count is growing: more stock was issued than repurchased over this window, so aggregate results grew faster than their per-share equivalents. Note: the share count shows a large one-time jump around FY2022, consistent with a reverse split or bankruptcy reorg rather than gradual buybacks, so the earlier shrinkage doesn't reflect real repurchase discipline. That's ~7.7% shaved off per-share growth every year — total profit has to grow that much just to keep earnings-per-share flat, and a stake held since FY2022 has been diluted ~20%.
4% of rev
FY2025
Stock-based comp load.Stock-based compensation ran 4% of revenue and 12% of free cash flow in FY2025 — about $0.10 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 7.7% a year and that rate is not falling, so total profit has to grow by that much annually before any of it reaches a share. 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.

12.5%
FY2025
Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is 12.5% in the latest fiscal year, against -17% in FY2021, having run between -16.7% and 18.2% across FY2021–FY2025 with no direction held — a modest positive spread over the ~8% cost of capital we hold this sector to — the capital already deployed adds value, though not dramatically. The capital base behind it cannot be compared across FY2021–FY2025: cash is tagged in one of those two fiscal years and not the other, and an untagged line enters this calculation as zero, so any change in the base would be a change in what the filer tagged.
