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: ▲0%; Now £29.1m
Cash at bank: ▲74%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: ▼9%; Now 158
Deferred income: ▼18%; Now £331k
Fixed assets: ▲6%; Now £14.1m

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