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: ▲2%; Now £2.5m
Cash at bank: ▲56%; Now £252k
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 114
Deferred income: ▼11%; Now £302k
Fixed assets: ▲152394%; Now £3m

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