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 £2.5m
Cash at bank: ▼100%; Now £6.1k
Headcount: 0%; Now 125
Deferred income: ▲74%; Now £1m
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.
