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: ▲56%; Now £4.5m
Cash at bank: ▲70%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: ▼20%; Now 126
Deferred income: ▼44%; Now £4.4m
Fixed assets: ▼14%; Now £1.9m

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