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 £2.8m
Cash at bank: ▼48%; Now £1.1m
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 31
Deferred income: ▼47%; Now £42.2k
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £1.5m

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