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: ▲19%; Now £10.1m
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 76
Deferred income: ▼45%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▲9%; Now £5.1m

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