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 £10.7m
Cash at bank: ▲23%; Now £2.3m
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 26
Deferred income: ▼34%; Now £70.5k
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £616k

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