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 £7.6m
Cash at bank: ▲1%; Now £4m
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 24
Deferred income: ▲79%; Now £40.4k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £115k

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