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: ▲1%; Now £28.1m
Cash at bank: ▲25%; Now £4.1m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 64
Deferred income: ▼13%; Now £908k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £24.4m

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