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: ▼3%; Now £7.7m
Headcount: ▼13%; Now 28
Deferred income: ▲152%; Now £62.5k
Fixed assets: ▲55%; Now £3m

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