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: ▼1%; Now £5.5m
Cash at bank: ▼26%; Now £530k
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 131
Deferred income: ▼84%; Now £24.1k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £4.8m

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