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: ▼12%; Now £6.8m
Cash at bank: ▼45%; Now £204k
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 237
Deferred income: ▲13%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▼5%; Now £11.2m

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