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: ▲16%; Now £5.7m
Cash at bank: ▼99%; Now £9.2k
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 54
Deferred income: ▼53%; Now £946k
Fixed assets: ▲64%; Now £442k

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