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: ▲14%; Now £5.1m
Cash at bank: ▲40%; Now £3.6m
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 77
Deferred income: ▼1%; Now £217k
Fixed assets: ▼13%; Now £2.7m

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