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: ▼3%; Now £20.2m
Cash at bank: ▼11%; Now £4.8m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 179
Deferred income: ▲106%; Now £850k
Fixed assets: ▲23%; Now £13m

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