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 £3.2m
Cash at bank: ▲3%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 349
Deferred income: ▲8%; Now £620k
Fixed assets: ▲35%; Now £1.9m

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