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: ▲65%; Now £816k
Cash at bank: ▲70%; Now £1.9m
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 148
Deferred income: ▲396%; Now £257k
Fixed assets: ▼9%; Now £1.5m

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