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: ▲15%; Now £13.9m
Cash at bank: ▲34%; Now £6.8m
Headcount: ▼24%; Now 26
Deferred income: ▲90%; Now £588k
Fixed assets: ▼9%; Now £3.6m

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