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: ▲17%; Now £10.9m
Cash at bank: ▲187%; Now £16.6k
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 182
Deferred income: ▼11%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▲3%; Now £17.7m

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