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: ▲5%; Now £15.3m
Cash at bank: ▼28%; Now £1.4m
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 79
Deferred income: ▲111%; Now £1.4m
Fixed assets: ▲34%; Now £1.4m

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