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: —; Now −£1.2m
Cash at bank: ▼62%; Now £580k
Headcount: ▼11%; Now 49
Deferred income: ▼10%; Now £1.9m
Fixed assets: ▼52%; Now £150k

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