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 £21.1m
Cash at bank: ▼32%; Now £5m
Headcount: ▼5%; Now 115
Deferred income: ▲13%; Now £73.5k
Fixed assets: ▼8%; Now £7.2m

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