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: ▲10%; Now £30.9m
Cash at bank: ▲100%; Now £6.1m
Headcount: ▲18%; Now 73
Deferred income: ▼16%; Now £171k
Fixed assets: ▲3%; Now £16.8m

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