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: ▲6%; Now £3.4m
Cash at bank: ▼30%; Now £2.1m
Headcount: ▼18%; Now 31
Deferred income: ▼57%; Now £199k
Fixed assets: ▲131%; Now £713k

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