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: ▲8%; Now £1.9m
Cash at bank: ▲20%; Now £2.4m
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 25
Deferred income: ▲2509%; Now £414k
Fixed assets: ▼11%; Now £210k

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