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: ▼0%; Now £32.9m
Cash at bank: ▲41%; Now £7.2m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 58
Deferred income: ▲113%; Now £679k
Fixed assets: ▼24%; Now £242k

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