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: ▲8%; Now £12.4m
Cash at bank: ▲82%; Now £3.4m
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 131
Deferred income: ▲298%; Now £3.1m
Fixed assets: ▼7%; Now £12.4m

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