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: ▲13%; Now £5.2m
Cash at bank: ▲197%; Now £640k
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 114
Deferred income: ▲109%; Now £132k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £5.9m

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