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 £12.9m
Cash at bank: ▲4454%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 328
Deferred income: ▼30%; Now £2.5m
Fixed assets: ▼14%; Now £289k

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