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: ▼5%; Now £14.1m
Cash at bank: ▼27%; Now £11.7m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 219
Deferred income: ▼6%; Now £2.5m
Fixed assets: ▲20%; Now £68.2k

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