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 £10.1m
Cash at bank: ▲36%; Now £744k
Headcount: ▼12%; Now 233
Deferred income: ▲31%; Now £338k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £7.8m

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