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: ▲11%; Now £11.2m
Cash at bank: ▲20%; Now £7.4m
Headcount: ▲20%; Now 36
Deferred income: ▼28%; Now £806k
Fixed assets: ▲3%; Now £1.1m

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