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: ▼7%; Now £19.5m
Cash at bank: ▼50%; Now £9.9m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 30
Deferred income: ▲31%; Now £70.3k
Fixed assets: ▼17%; Now £8.8m

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