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 £3.3m
Cash at bank: ▼50%; Now £1.3m
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 85
Deferred income: ▼30%; Now £2.8m
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £982k

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