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: ▲1%; Now £2.5m
Cash at bank: ▼9%; Now £255k
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 31
Deferred income: ▼38%; Now £92.6k
Fixed assets: ▼41%; Now £72.2k

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