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: ▼0%; Now £4.9m
Cash at bank: ▲77%; Now £2.9m
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 55
Deferred income: ▲120%; Now £1.9m
Fixed assets: ▼10%; Now £2.9m

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