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: ▲63%; Now £3.1m
Cash at bank: ▲192%; Now £2.2m
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 250
Deferred income: ▲32%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £4m

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