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: ▲11%; Now £34.6m
Cash at bank: ▲52%; Now £95.8k
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 66
Deferred income: ▼28%; Now £773k
Fixed assets: ▼12%; Now £1.1m

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