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
Heads up: a more recent set of accounts has been filed but isn't yet reflected here — the figures above are older than the company's latest filing.
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-02-11 | 2025-02-09 |

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- BDO LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the directors have prepared detailed budgets for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the accounts, which show that the company and group is expected to be able to meet all its liabilities as they fall due. 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
- “The increase in employer national insurance contributions (ER NIC hereafter), both due to the reduced threshold and increased contribution percentage, came into effect in April 2025. This was post year end but is expected to increase staff costs significantly, given the large staff base at Colten Care.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
