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 £4.1m
Cash at bank: ▼34%; Now £3.4m
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 62
Deferred income: ▲12%; Now £94.9k
Fixed assets: ▲2%; Now £711k

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