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: ▲3%; Now £1.2m
Cash at bank: ▲3%; Now £3.1m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 64
Deferred income: ▼15%; Now £5.4m
Fixed assets: ▼18%; Now £118k

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