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 £8.3m
Cash at bank: ▲24%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▼14%; Now 55
Deferred income: ▼28%; Now £172k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £3.7m

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