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: ▲18%; Now £8.6m
Cash at bank: ▲21%; Now £1.7m
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 88
Deferred income: ▼59%; Now £87.9k
Fixed assets: ▼15%; Now £6m

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