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: ▼5%; Now £11.8m
Cash at bank: ▼50%; Now £3.2m
Headcount: ▼10%; Now 43
Deferred income: ▲241%; Now £60.5k
Fixed assets: ▲3%; Now £3.4m

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