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 £13.3m
Cash at bank: ▼18%; Now £7.5m
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 144
Deferred income: ▲102%; Now £455k
Fixed assets: ▲11%; Now £7.5m

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