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 £4.9m
Cash at bank: ▲38%; Now £2.1m
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 36
Deferred income: ▼27%; Now £91.6k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £2.5m

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