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: ▲7%; Now £19.7m
Cash at bank: ▲14%; Now £6.7k
Headcount: 0%; Now 14
Deferred income: ▲16%; Now £415k
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £7.6m

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