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: ▲20%; Now £15.3m
Cash at bank: ▲18%; Now £14.5m
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 70
Deferred income: ▲12%; Now £111k
Fixed assets: ▲39%; Now £1.6m

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