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: ▲0%; Now £6.3m
Cash at bank: ▲29%; Now £2.2m
Headcount: ▲15%; Now 197
Deferred income: ▲15%; Now £103k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £3.8m

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