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 £5.4m
Cash at bank: ▲31%; Now £2m
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 56
Deferred income: ▼10%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▲382%; Now £14.4k

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