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: ▲14%; Now £10.8m
Cash at bank: ▼64%; Now £842k
Headcount: ▲9%; Now 166
Deferred income: ▼56%; Now £193k
Fixed assets: ▲40%; Now £9.4m

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