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: ▼6%; Now £6.2m
Cash at bank: ▼90%; Now £78.7k
Headcount: ▲13%; Now 277
Deferred income: ▲2%; Now £353k
Fixed assets: ▲16%; Now £1.4m

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