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: ▲6%; Now £16.3m
Cash at bank: ▲10%; Now £2.6m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 137
Deferred income: ▼15%; Now £127k
Fixed assets: ▼18%; Now £1.2m

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