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: ▲4%; Now £2.1m
Cash at bank: ▼93%; Now £32.4k
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 47
Deferred income: ▼2%; Now £393k
Fixed assets: ▲3%; Now £144k

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