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: ▲2%; Now £3.8m
Cash at bank: ▲16%; Now £2.6m
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 27
Deferred income: ▼12%; Now £1.5m
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £3.6m

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