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 £7.8m
Cash at bank: ▼88%; Now £107k
Headcount: ▲32%; Now 75
Deferred income: ▲31%; Now £379k
Fixed assets: ▼46%; Now £2m

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