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 £9.3m
Cash at bank: ▼1%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: ▼13%; Now 123
Deferred income: ▲34%; Now £395k
Fixed assets: ▼9%; Now £1.7m

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