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: ▲14%; Now £12.2m
Cash at bank: 0%; Now £750
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 68
Deferred income: ▲18%; Now £253k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £9.3m

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