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: ▲8%; Now £4.8m
Cash at bank: ▼7%; Now £2.3m
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 66
Deferred income: ▼57%; Now £194k
Fixed assets: ▼8%; Now £4.1m

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