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 £9.4m
Cash at bank: ▼46%; Now £250k
Headcount: ▼12%; Now 129
Deferred income: ▲174%; Now £194k
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £2.3m

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