RE: QBT’s €50m Loan to Brainspark – Serious Questions Need Answering30 Jul 2025 17:30
And the final accounts explain why they have been written off - those companies that Mr Alfredo was shifting funds to are now liquidated or bankrupt. As per below.
------------------------------------
Brainspark Associates Limited
This entity is a 100% owned UK incorporated subsidiary of Quantum Blockchain Technologies PLC and has been included in the consolidation.
Sipiem In Liquidazione Srl
Sipiem in Liquidazione Srl, previously Sipiem S.P.A., (“Sipiem”) was an entity incorporated in Italy of which 50.17% was owned by the Company. The entity had not been trading for a number of years but was maintained due to ongoing legal matters with its former directors. The company entered into liquidation in 2015 and this is the date from which control by the Group is deemed to have been lost and the financial information for Sipiem has since not been consolidated into the Group financial statements. The investment in Sipiem is accounted at fair value through profit or loss. Furthermore, in August 2022 the company was declared bankrupt by the Court of Rovigo, following a petition filed by Sipiem’s liquidator with the support of its main shareholder (Quantum Blockchain Technologies PLC). Sipiem’s bankruptcy does not impact the Company’s balance sheet, as the litigation is held via Clear Leisure 2017 Limited (“CL17”)
Mediapolis Investment S.A.
Mediapolis Investment S.A. is a 71.72% owned subsidiary incorporated in Luxembourg. The company itself is inactive and is not trading. Previous management failed to pay accountants and local directors for the previous six years and no financial statements have been filed for over seven years. Although this entity is inactive and 71.72% of the shares are held by the group, there is no active management in Luxembourg, and this has led to a difficulty in finalizing a liquidation.
