Debts exceed assets in financial year 2025.
The 2024 and 2025 financial years closed with a loss. 2024 was the heaviest.
Of this, €609,271 falls due within a year.
Between 2006 and 2025, 41% of the full-time equivalents disappeared.
Short-term debts rose from €478,563 to €609,271.
The dashed line is the sector median: 0.6% across 2,522 companies (NACE 55, micro).
About 7 in 100 comparable companies go bankrupt within 12 months (an estimate).
The band follows from the bankruptcy probability. 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 55, micro). It does better than 8% of them on solvency, 8% on liquidity, 5% on profitability and 1% on growth.
The bankruptcy probability was computed on 10-11-2026 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.
The probability rests on the annual accounts with balance sheet date 31-12-2025.
Of the companies with a bankruptcy probability in the elevated class on 30-06-2025, 6.3% went bankrupt within twelve months.
Some facts cap the score, however low the probability. With negative or zero equity, a heavy loss, a special status in the KBO, one missing filing or accounts filed more than 90 days late, the score is Fair at most (59). With two missing filings, it is Weak at most (44). During a judicial reorganisation or at the company's end (bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation), it is Critical at most (24).
In July 2024, 6,619 companies had the same profile as FALS has now. Each dot stands for 17 companies, two years later.
Another 1.0% stopped without a precise date, possibly only after those two years.
The bankruptcy probability of FALS itself is higher: 7.3% within 12 months. It rests on far more data about FALS than the profile alone.
The method was tested on the 497,448 companies of July 2024. Each company was given the bankruptcy share of the same profile a year earlier, in July 2023. The expectation was that 1.6% would go bankrupt within 24 months. In fact 1.7% went bankrupt.
| 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% |
A company that went bankrupt had a higher expected share than one that kept going in 74.5% of comparisons. The level depends on the economy. In a year with more bankruptcies than the year before, the actual share is higher than the expected one.
This is an observation about 6,619 companies, not a prediction for FALS. The sector does not count, because the KBO no longer lists a sector for a company that has stopped. By sector, mostly the survivors would count, which would paint too rosy a picture.
Liquidity is insufficient, with a current ratio of 0.34 (0.92 in 2024), below 1. Short-term debt is 87.9% and cash 2.9% of total assets. Equity is negative.

The company filed its last 7 accounts on average 9 days before the deadline. In the sector (NACE 55), the median for financial year 2024 was 1 day before the deadline, and 45% of those companies filed late.
