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: ▲3%; Now £8.6m
Cash at bank: ▲32%; Now £2.6m
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 92
Deferred income: ▲61%; Now £28.7k
Fixed assets: ▲2%; Now £5.9m

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