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: ▲13%; Now £9.4m
Cash at bank: ▼89%; Now £598k
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 176
Deferred income: ▲31%; Now £4.3m
Fixed assets: ▲24%; Now £327k

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