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: ▲1%; Now £1.1m
Cash at bank: ▲129%; Now £1.4m
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 321
Deferred income: ▲18%; Now £426k
Fixed assets: ▼11%; Now £28.4k

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