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: ▲10%; Now £32.2m
Cash at bank: ▼17%; Now £14m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 109
Deferred income: ▲231%; Now £1.6m
Fixed assets: ▲41%; Now £19.9m

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