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: ▲3%; Now £25.3m
Cash at bank: ▼27%; Now £5.9m
Headcount: ▲11%; Now 63
Deferred income: ▼33%; Now £43.2k
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £22.5m

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