Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “In July 2025, a new Managing Director, Mike Broad, and Commercial Director, Paul Dew, were appointed-along with additional team members as needed-to bring critical skills and expertise into the organisation.”
- “Emtec Southern's profitability in 2025 was affected by the completion of several non-performing legacy projects, with two experiencing delays exceeding twenty-four months due to multiple insolvencies and concerns regarding building integrity brought forth by the main contractor.”
- “Nevertheless, six legacy projects concluded successfully in the latter half of 2025, with only two remaining to be completed in 2026 according to planned and coordinated timelines.”
- “New clients and market sectors have now been secured, including partnerships with Tier 1 contractors in the commercial and logistics sectors and expanded direct tenders in the residential sector.”
- “capital injections from the Sauter Group-a well-capitalised, debt-free international parent company with annual turnover exceeding 1 billion-during 2024-2025 to offset incurred losses. The Sauter Group is also providing an additional 10 million investment to further strengthen Emtec Southern's liquidity”
