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: ▼3%; Now £13.4m
Cash at bank: ▲5%; Now £2.8m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 158
Deferred income: ▲1206%; Now £446k
Fixed assets: ▲6%; Now £11.2m

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