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: ▲145%; Now £8.1m
Cash at bank: ▲36%; Now £2.2m
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 286
Deferred income: ▲4%; Now £1.3m
Fixed assets: ▼25%; Now £2m

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