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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Board acknowledges that the Company's strategy has evolved and that it requires additional regulatory permissions to execute this strategy. The board has therefore concluded that the Company remains a going concern but that a material uncertainty exists in respect of obtaining retail deposit permissions and on the subsequent execution of the revised business model of the bank. Should the Retail Deposit Variation of Permission be unsuccessful, the Directors will consider all necessary actions.”

- “After becoming a fully authorised bank in September 2023, Perenna launched Long Term Fixed Rate Mortgages (LTFRM).”
