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: ▼3%; Now £3.1m
Cash at bank: ▼47%; Now £665k
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 87
Deferred income: ▲253%; Now £37.7k
Fixed assets: ▲32%; Now £5.5m

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