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: ▲40%; Now £6.1m
Cash at bank: ▼31%; Now £77.1k
Headcount: ▼17%; Now 121
Deferred income: ▲13%; Now £872k
Fixed assets: ▼15%; Now £1.7m

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