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: ▲54%; Now £5.3m
Cash at bank: ▼49%; Now £310k
Headcount: ▲11%; Now 60
Deferred income: ▲110%; Now £87.1k
Fixed assets: ▼26%; Now £268k

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