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: ▲14%; Now £20.4m
Cash at bank: ▼38%; Now £1.5m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 105
Deferred income: ▲13%; Now £868k
Fixed assets: ▲72%; Now £5.9m

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