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: ▼4%; Now £4.6m
Cash at bank: ▼17%; Now £841
Headcount: ▲9%; Now 85
Deferred income: ▲41%; Now £520k
Fixed assets: ▲6%; Now £2.6m

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