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: ▲9%; Now £5.2m
Cash at bank: ▼25%; Now £73.2k
Headcount: ▼17%; Now 15
Deferred income: ▲225%; Now £284k
Fixed assets: ▲13%; Now £7.5k

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