Summary

Conclusion

the dossier summarised in one paragraph

The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability of Key Technology is 0.4% (very low). The 2024 annual accounts show equity of €2.29M and a net result of €210k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 64% of 61 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The company has been active since 2004 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals.

Based on the State Gazette, CBE and 7 annual accounts.

Filing behaviour

From the deposit records, complete market-wide
Deadline passed, not yet counted as missing
The deadline for the year that closed on 31-12-2025 passed on 31-07-2026, 21 days ago. Our copy of the deposit register trails the National Bank (measured: median 14 days, p99 45 days), so we only call this filing missing from 45 days past the deadline.
Filed more than 90 days late
The financial year that closed on 31-12-2024 was due by 31-07-2025 and was filed on 30-07-2026, 364 days past the deadline. Measured on financial year 2023: companies more than 90 days late are in an abnormal legal state today in 5.61% of cases, against 1.66% across all filers.
How we compute the deadline
The year end is derived from 10 filed financial years, each closing on 31-12. 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 31-12-2024, that is 31-07-2025.

Trajectory (indicative)
Projection over 3 fiscal years from the filed annual accounts, not a forecast, the extended trend.
volatile Too volatile to project: the yearly deviation from the trend is ~37% of the level (threshold 35%). We therefore deliberately show no projection line.

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).
