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: ▲7%; Now £10.1m
Cash at bank: ▼43%; Now £1.3m
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 242
Deferred income: ▲135%; Now £225k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £6.5m

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