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: ▲20%; Now £6.8m
Cash at bank: ▲45%; Now £4.4m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 160
Deferred income: ▼46%; Now £321k
Fixed assets: ▼95%; Now £141k

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