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: ▲76%; Now £7.3m
Cash at bank: ▲25%; Now £14.6m
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 209
Deferred income: ▼39%; Now £889k
Fixed assets: ▲78%; Now £371k

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