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: ▲14%; Now £1.4m
Cash at bank: ▲44%; Now £530
Headcount: ▲11%; Now 21
Deferred income: ▲3%; Now £767k
Fixed assets: ▼20%; Now £1.6m

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