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: ▲10%; Now £3m
Cash at bank: ▲39%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 17
Deferred income: ▲23%; Now £24.3k
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £658k

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