Summary

The annual accounts of ELFA for financial year 2025 show a net loss of 53% of total assets and of 72% of the equity at the start of that year. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €12,044 and a net result of -€30,955. Equity is shrinking by about 22% per year and would, assuming unchanged policy, indicatively turn negative around financial year 2027.

Historical observation

Of the 1,294 companies that looked in July 2024 the way this one looks now, 4.1% went bankrupt within 24 months and 89.6% are still going.

  • Micro
  • 10 to 20 years old
  • solvency 10 to 30%
  • a loss of 10% of the balance sheet or more
4.1% went bankrupt
6.0% stopped otherwise
89.6% still going

A further 0.4% stopped, but we cannot tell whether within those 24 months.

For this company itself Checked computes a bankruptcy probability of 1.1% over twelve months; the group does not contradict it.

How reliable is this rule?

Tested on the year before, without using that year itself: the groups of July 2023 gave each of the 497,445 companies of July 2024 its group's bankruptcy share. Expected: 1.6%; actually bankrupt within 24 months: 1.7%.

The companies in ten equal groups, from lowest to highest expected share.
Group Expected Actual
1 0.2% 0.2%
2 0.3% 0.5%
3 0.5% 0.6%
4 0.7% 0.8%
5 0.9% 0.9%
6 1.3% 1.5%
7 1.6% 1.8%
8 1.8% 1.8%
9 3.0% 3.1%
10 5.6% 6.2%

The rule ranks well: a company that went bankrupt got a higher share than one that kept going in 74.5% of comparisons. The level follows the economy: in a year with more bankruptcies, the actual share is higher than the year before.

An observation about 1,294 comparable companies, not a prediction for this company. The sector does not count: the register keeps no sector for companies that stopped, so it would make the outcome look better than it was.
