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 £23m
Cash at bank: ▼68%; Now £53.7k
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 512
Deferred income: ▼3%; Now £1.4m
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £30.9m

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