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: ▲3%; Now £3.7m
Cash at bank: ▼85%; Now £318k
Headcount: ▼12%; Now 85
Deferred income: 0%; Now £15k
Fixed assets: ▼42%; Now £137k

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