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: ▲4%; Now £7.3m
Cash at bank: ▲51%; Now £2.4m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 115
Deferred income: ▲15%; Now £476k
Fixed assets: ▼17%; Now £1.7m

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