| 2026-10-03 | Regulatory filingJapanese-onlyWelmo FY11/2024: loss ¥409M; total assets collapse 75% to ¥74M; 23 insured staff 株式会社ウェルモの決算公告（官報決算データベース） The Fukuoka care-tech company's balance sheet has shrunk to ¥74M in assets after a ¥409M loss, and insured headcount is down to 23. That points to a sharp restructuring or a near-cash-out position at FY-end. The retained deficit equals one year's loss, so a capital reduction absorbed earlier losses.
