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: ▼3%; Now £7.9m
Cash at bank: ▲73%; Now £331k
Headcount: ▲11%; Now 79
Deferred income: ▲47%; Now £175k
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £6.2m

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