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: ▲27%; Now £4.6m
Cash at bank: ▼7%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 177
Deferred income: ▼1%; Now £576k
Fixed assets: ▲7%; Now £275k

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