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: ▲6%; Now £22.5m
Cash at bank: ▼32%; Now £5m
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 58
Deferred income: ▼25%; Now £319k
Fixed assets: ▲23%; Now £19.5m

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