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: ▲51%; Now £1.8m
Cash at bank: ▲20%; Now £4.4m
Headcount: ▼20%; Now 190
Deferred income: ▲3%; Now £1.8m
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £1.9m

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