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: ▲6%; Now £4.5m
Cash at bank: ▼23%; Now £182k
Headcount: ▼20%; Now 70
Deferred income: ▼2%; Now £402k
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £4.7m

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