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: ▲8%; Now £1.7m
Cash at bank: ▼17%; Now £6.4m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 63
Deferred income: ▲1%; Now £18.5k
Fixed assets: ▲178%; Now £434k

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