ActiveSummary

The 2025 annual accounts show negative equity (-€1.7m) and a net result of €1.1m. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection.

No credit on open account
Liquidity insufficient (current ratio 0.74, compared with 0.72 in 2024, below 1; short-term debt: 105.4% and cash: 1.7% of total assets), and equity is negative.
How it is calculated
The band follows from the bankruptcy probability, on a scale where 10 more points roughly halve it:
| 75-100 | Excellent | under 0.55% |
| 60-74 | Healthy | 0.55% to 1.5% |
| 45-59 | Fair | 1.5% to 4.2% |
| 25-44 | Weak | 4.2% to 15.0% |
| 0-24 | Critical | over 15.0% |
Where the company stands within its band depends half on the bankruptcy probability and half on how it does against its sector peers (NACE 46, medium-sized): better than 3% on solvency, 5% on liquidity, 64% on profitability and 57% on growth.
The bankruptcy probability was computed on 28-10-2026 by the bankruptcy model of 2 October 2026, which learns from Belgian bankruptcies and reads the registers, the annual accounts and the Belgian Official Gazette.
Some facts cap the score, however low the probability. Negative or zero equity, a heavy loss, a special status in the KBO, one missing filing or accounts filed more than 90 days late hold it at Fair at most (59); two missing filings, at Weak (44). An ongoing judicial reorganisation or the company's end (bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation) holds it at Critical at most (24).

This company filed 3 consecutive financial years on time. The year that closed on 30-06-2025 was due by 31-01-2026 and was filed on 03-03-2026, 31 days late. Weigh it accordingly: of the companies that move to filing 1 to 90 days late, 1.41% are now bankrupt, dissolved or in another special legal status, below the 1.66% of all filers. It is a change in behaviour, not evidence of elevated risk.
