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 £4.6m
Cash at bank: ▼16%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 41
Deferred income: ▲24%; Now £312k
Fixed assets: ▲21%; Now £121k

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