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: ▲1%; Now £3.4m
Cash at bank: ▲111%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▼21%; Now 88
Deferred income: ▼71%; Now £246k
Fixed assets: ▼6%; Now £3.9m

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