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

- Sumer Auditco Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Management holds regular meetings to review strategy, financial position, and operating performance. Sensitivity analyses are undertaken to assess the potential impact of varying economic conditions. Based on these reviews, the directors are satisfied that the company will remain cash positive for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting.”
Significant events
- “In 2024, Scotland experienced a year of significant weather contrasts, with a record-breaking warm spring, followed by the wettest summer on record for some western parts, while eastern areas were notably drier. The year was also marked by several significant storms, particularly in the winter months.”
- “The cleaning equipment division has assisted the local authority by supplying pressure washers to support graffiti removal initiatives.”
- “Crop Services (Scotland) Limited has also continued its role as a promotional partner of the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. As part of this partnership, a JCB Fastrac was wrapped in the foundation's distinctive tartan livery, helping to raise awareness and generate donations exceeding £250,000 for the charity.”
