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: ▲22%; Now £2.7m
Cash at bank: ▼0%; Now £10.7k
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 132
Deferred income: ▼17%; Now £236k
Fixed assets: ▲13%; Now £10.8m

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