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 £6.9m
Cash at bank: ▲12%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: 0%; Now 154
Deferred income: ▲38%; Now £142k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £7.5m

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