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 £22.7m
Cash at bank: ▲7%; Now £2.3m
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 242
Deferred income: ▼3%; Now £1m
Fixed assets: ▼5%; Now £4.4m

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