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: ▲13%; Now £12.8m
Cash at bank: ▲45%; Now £7.6k
Headcount: 0%; Now 146
Deferred income: ▼16%; Now £937k
Fixed assets: ▲31%; Now £5.9m

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