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: ▲20%; Now £15.4m
Cash at bank: ▼27%; Now £2.2m
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 16
Deferred income: ▲8%; Now £5.5m
Fixed assets: ▲2%; Now £3.2m

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