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: ▲4%; Now £27.2m
Cash at bank: ▲8%; Now £55.5k
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 214
Deferred income: ▼7%; Now £119k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £12.8m

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