Indirect — not revenue

Balance-sheet signals

Year-on-year changes in filed balance-sheet items. They can hint at momentum (or investment) but are not revenue or profit and must not be read as such.

Net assets: ▼2%; Now £6.2m
Cash at bank: ▼57%; Now £52.1k
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 90
Deferred income: ▼39%; Now £51.5k
Fixed assets: ▼6%; Now £1.2m

Deferred income is reported together with accruals in this filing (“accruals and deferred income”), so it is an approximate signal only.
