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 £12.9m
Cash at bank: ▼2%; Now £5.7m
Headcount: 0%; Now 70
Deferred income: ▲19%; Now £68.4k
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £4.3m

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