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: ▼125%; Now −£1.1m
Cash at bank: ▲73%; Now £2.6m
Headcount: ▼24%; Now 91
Deferred income: ▲37%; Now £3.1m
Fixed assets: ▼25%; Now £1.9m

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