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: ▲16%; Now £11.5m
Cash at bank: ▲92%; Now £5.5m
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 11
Deferred income: ▲6%; Now £109k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £2.5m

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