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: ▲2%; Now £17.3m
Cash at bank: ▼25%; Now £4.2k
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 103
Deferred income: ▲0%; Now £172k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £6.8m

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