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: ▲18%; Now £11.5m
Cash at bank: ▲57%; Now £4.6m
Headcount: ▼13%; Now 148
Deferred income: ▼6%; Now £888k
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £1.4m

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