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: ▲5%; Now £6m
Cash at bank: ▲136%; Now £2m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 61
Deferred income: ▼65%; Now £40.9k
Fixed assets: ▼8%; Now £5.1m

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