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 £5.8m
Cash at bank: ▼14%; Now £2.5m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 57
Deferred income: ▲98%; Now £39.5k
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £1.3m

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