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: ▲13%; Now £5.1m
Cash at bank: ▲114%; Now £697k
Headcount: ▼5%; Now 62
Deferred income: ▼15%; Now £176k
Fixed assets: ▼21%; Now £286k

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