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 £2.4m
Cash at bank: ▼87%; Now £160k
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 933
Deferred income: ▼57%; Now £23.3k
Fixed assets: ▼17%; Now £101k

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