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: ▲9%; Now £14.4m
Cash at bank: ▲26%; Now £13.3m
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 69
Deferred income: ▲20%; Now £789k
Fixed assets: ▲24%; Now £125k

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