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: ▲28%; Now £1.2m
Cash at bank: ▲43%; Now £1.7m
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 317
Deferred income: ▼14%; Now £398k
Fixed assets: ▼15%; Now £211k

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