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: ▲1%; Now £4.2m
Cash at bank: ▼75%; Now £80.2k
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 368
Deferred income: ▲7%; Now £348k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £22.6m

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