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: ▲5%; Now £1.9m
Cash at bank: ▲233%; Now £566k
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 61
Deferred income: ▲9%; Now £97.1k
Fixed assets: ▼20%; Now £171k

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