The five investor questions

78

2021–2024 (latest 4 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $3450 to $4.8M, increasing; diluted EPS -0.08 to 0.01, increasing. Latest-filed diluted EPS remains usable for Business Trend, but an integer share-count change lacks enough evidence to confirm a comparable EPS basis; valuation growth therefore stays at 0%.

27

Median gross margin 32.1% over 5y, variable.

Not enough years of ROIC data to score returns on capital.

28

Net debt/EBITDA n/ax, interest coverage -3x.

24

Owner earnings changed trend unclear over up to the ten most recent annual observations.

The returnsOnCapital component abstained: Not enough years of ROIC data to score returns on capital. The other four 20% weights were renormalized over the scored 80%.

Price vs. value if growth stopped today

A cautious baseline, not a price target: what the shares may support if normalized owner earnings simply hold steady.

This zero-growth estimate assumes trailing owner earnings persist — unreliable for declining businesses. The recent FY revenue series does not trigger the three-consecutive-declines flag.

Among the current top-score group, the median current price is 238% above the zero-growth estimate across 49 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.

Model details under moat-index@3.0.0: zero-growth multiple 11.1×, capped-growth comparison at no more than 18×; 9% discount rate; high-end growth 0% (capped at 4%) using min(5y revenue CAGR, 5y diluted-EPS CAGR), clamped to 0%–4%; maintenance capex uses min(capex, D&A); abstain when D&A is unavailable. This is a disclosed model range, not intrinsic value as fact.

9 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

FREQUENCY HOLDINGS INC booked $4.8M of revenue in FY2024 in the Technology sector and kept 61.8% of it as gross profit — a high-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 91.4% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

The balance sheet carried $2.7M of total debt in FY2024 against $4.4M of owner earnings — roughly 0.6 years of owner earnings to retire it all. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 28/100.

This breakdown is generated from the filed numbers and sub-scores above — no outside narrative, no estimates. Where a filing doesn’t disclose an input, the sentence that would need it is omitted instead of guessed.

Insider activity

Form 4 reports mix P/S market or private transactions with compensation-plan mechanics. Activity casually described as “insider selling” can include compensation mechanics; awards, tax withholding, and option exercises are shown by their exact filed class here, never collapsed into “Bought” or “Sold.”

These are disclosed filing facts and arithmetic aggregates, not a signal or verdict.

This machine-readable surface covers SEC ownership filings from 2003; it does not represent earlier paper-era records.

No reported Form 4 transactions were found in the complete checked issuer window for FRQN, . The totals and cluster result below are arithmetic over that certified window.
