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. The Directors have produced a detailed going concern stress test for Colten Care Limited. The conclusion of our stress test for Colten Care Limited is that the business could comfortably continue to trade over the course of the 12 months following the date of the financial statements, without exceeding current banking facilities and causing a covenant breach. 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.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. 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.
