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: ▼32%; Now £382k
Cash at bank: ▲5%; Now £73.8k
Headcount: ▲9%; Now 880
Deferred income: ▼86%; Now £63.4k
Fixed assets: ▲102%; Now £1.7m

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