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: ▲9%; Now £7.8m
Cash at bank: ▲216%; Now £289k
Headcount: 0%; Now 30
Deferred income: ▼29%; Now £136k
Fixed assets: ▼20%; Now £8.1m

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