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: ▲12%; Now £12.4m
Cash at bank: ▼3%; Now £9.9m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 90
Deferred income: ▼32%; Now £3.7m
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £5.7m

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