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: ▼0%; Now £3.6m
Cash at bank: ▲78%; Now £1.1m
Headcount: ▼17%; Now 148
Deferred income: ▲28%; Now £2.2m
Fixed assets: ▼8%; Now £3.6m

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