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: ▼22%; Now £7.6m
Cash at bank: ▼35%; Now £3.1m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 87
Deferred income: ▲75%; Now £159k
Fixed assets: ▼34%; Now £569k

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