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: ▲11%; Now £11.7m
Cash at bank: ▼3%; Now £8.5m
Headcount: ▼12%; Now 15
Deferred income: ▲24%; Now £11.3k
Fixed assets: ▲33%; Now £1.2m

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