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: ▲12%; Now £5.6m
Cash at bank: ▲16%; Now £618k
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 113
Deferred income: ▼29%; Now £62.2k
Fixed assets: ▼13%; Now £1.1m

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