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: ▲4%; Now £50.6m
Cash at bank: ▲279%; Now £938k
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 49
Deferred income: ▲7%; Now £252k
Fixed assets: ▲6%; Now £61.7m

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