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: ▲56%; Now £7.2m
Cash at bank: ▼36%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▼30%; Now 115
Deferred income: ▼32%; Now £545k
Fixed assets: ▼11%; Now £2.9m

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