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 £17.2m
Cash at bank: ▲78%; Now £8.5m
Headcount: ▼19%; Now 92
Deferred income: ▲56%; Now £1.4m
Fixed assets: ▼42%; Now £50k

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