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: ▲10%; Now £7.1m
Cash at bank: ▼4%; Now £3.1m
Headcount: 0%; Now 11
Deferred income: ▼18%; Now £757k
Fixed assets: ▼38%; Now £132k

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