Conclusion
C.I.C. ENGINEERING has been active since 2005 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2024 annual accounts show equity of €25k and a net result of €-21k. Equity is shrinking by ~31.9% per year and would, assuming unchanged policy, indicatively turn negative around fiscal year 2026. Its solvency ranks better than 48% of 11618 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.5% (low).
Based on the State Gazette, CBE and 4 annual accounts.

No legal incidents
No bankruptcy, reorganisation or interim measure in the Belgisch Staatsblad, and the KBO register records a normal legal situation.
Administrative Flags
No strikeouts found in the KBO publications we processed. That series starts in 2021 and has gaps, so this is not a confirmation that there is nothing.

Trajectory (indicative)
Projection over 3 fiscal years from the filed annual accounts, not a forecast, the extended trend.
declining
At this pace, equity would indicatively turn negative around fiscal year 2026, assuming unchanged policy.
Solid line = filed figures · dashed = extended trend · area = indicative range.
How do we compute this?
The trend is a robust median of all pairwise slopes between fiscal years (Theil-Sen), so a single odd year cannot hijack the line. For strictly positive series we also fit a log variant (compound annual growth) and keep whichever describes the figures best.
The area around the projection is 1.8 × the median absolute deviation from the trend, widening each year ahead (×1 / ×1.6 / ×2.2), with a minimum of 8% of the last value. It is an indicative range, not a statistical confidence interval.
A series whose deviations exceed 35% of its level is too volatile: we then deliberately show no projection. Every projection assumes unchanged policy and is blind to non-public information (order book, contracts, funding rounds).
