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: ▲0%; Now £4.5m
Cash at bank: ▲47%; Now £604k
Headcount: ▲9%; Now 37
Deferred income: ▲777%; Now £120k
Fixed assets: ▲21%; Now £1.1m

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