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 £11.9m
Cash at bank: ▼76%; Now £10.8k
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 86
Deferred income: ▼77%; Now £17.3k
Fixed assets: ▼10%; Now £2.2m

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