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 £5m
Cash at bank: ▲10%; Now £1.9m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 176
Deferred income: ▲142%; Now £595k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £4.6m

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