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: ▲5%; Now £1.5m
Cash at bank: ▼43%; Now £530k
Headcount: ▼10%; Now 36
Deferred income: ▼8%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▲9%; Now £66k

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