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 £23.8m
Cash at bank: ▼25%; Now £7.5m
Headcount: ▲0%; Now 303
Deferred income: ▲60%; Now £575k
Fixed assets: ▲49%; Now £3.7m

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