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: ▲15%; Now £8.8m
Cash at bank: ▼15%; Now £3.6m
Headcount: 0%; Now 18
Deferred income: ▲20%; Now £210k
Fixed assets: ▲29%; Now £120k

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