Audit & accounting basis

- Sumer Auditco Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) investigation into dumped lubricants from Lithuania and the United Arab Emirates concluded during the year, with definitive antidumping duties taking effect on 12 December 2025 for a fiveyear period.”
- “The escalation of conflict involving Iran in early 2026 created significant volatility across global energy markets. Disruption to shipping routes and uncertainty over crude availability drove sharp increases in international oil and refinedproduct prices. As seen across the wider lubricant sector, selling prices rose quickly while input costs lagged due to existing contract pricing and stocks, resulting in a temporary improvement in margins towards the end of the financial year.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
