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: ▲8%; Now £5.5m
Cash at bank: ▼24%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▼9%; Now 21
Deferred income: ▲62%; Now £383k
Fixed assets: ▼6%; Now £20.9m

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