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: ▲19%; Now £1.7m
Cash at bank: ▲69%; Now £3.1m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 101
Deferred income: ▼2%; Now £188k
Fixed assets: ▲14%; Now £25.8k

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