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: ▲2%; Now £6.2m
Cash at bank: ▲25%; Now £3.2m
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 99
Deferred income: 0%; Now £67.4k
Fixed assets: ▼27%; Now £627k

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