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: ▲17%; Now £11.9m
Cash at bank: ▲31%; Now £13.3m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 86
Deferred income: ▲49%; Now £5.1m
Fixed assets: ▼8%; Now £679k

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