Signals

1 signal · with evidence
Negative equity
Equity is negative for financial year 2024: liabilities exceed assets. This is the trigger point of the alarm-bell procedure (Belgian CAC).
View the annual accounts

Signals are derived from the filed annual accounts and the sector comparison. No composite score: each signal is separately verifiable at the source.

Filing behaviour

From the deposit records, complete market-wide
Latest accounts filed on time
The financial year that closed on 30-09-2024 was due by 30-04-2025 and was filed on 29-04-2025, 1 days ahead of the deadline. This speaks to administrative punctuality and says nothing about the financial position.
Filing behaviour not assessed
The register records an open bankruptcy. From that point the trustee files and the ordinary seven-month rhythm no longer governs. The register carries no start date, so we cannot tell which filings fall before it: we show the facts and do not assess the behaviour.
How we compute the deadline
There is a single filed set of accounts, closing on 30-09. That date is certain, but one observation does not establish the rhythm (a first financial year may run longer than twelve months), so we project no following year. The statutory deadline is seven months after the close of the financial year (art. 3:10 par. 1 CAC, art. 3:47 par. 7 for ASBL and foundations). Applied to the financial year that closed on 30-09-2024, that is 30-04-2025.

Source: the National Bank's deposit records. Those records are complete, including for years whose figures we have not read yet. Filing late covers nearly half the market and is therefore not scored; only not filing, being more than 90 days late and breaking a punctual record carry weight.

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.

Structure & network

Ownership & control

No ownership or control structure found in the sources.

For this we read shareholding and parent/subsidiary relations from the acts in the Belgian State Gazette, plus the board seats that legal entities hold in one another. Nothing of the sort is published for this company, which is common: most Belgian companies do not publish a shareholding structure.

1 court or liquidation mandate is on record for this company. Such a mandate is a fact about the company itself, not about a tie to another one: two bankruptcies handled by the same receiver are two separate cases. They are listed under Directors & mandates.
