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 £10.6m
Cash at bank: ▼47%; Now £1.7m
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 172
Deferred income: ▼29%; Now £1.4m
Fixed assets: ▼27%; Now £1.9m

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