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 £5.2m
Cash at bank: ▲20%; Now £748k
Headcount: ▼5%; Now 42
Deferred income: ▲35%; Now £276k
Fixed assets: ▲25%; Now £779k

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