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: ▲139%; Now £2.1m
Cash at bank: ▼40%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 60
Deferred income: ▼7%; Now £2.7m
Fixed assets: ▲108%; Now £592k

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