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: ▼2%; Now £9m
Cash at bank: ▼14%; Now £5.4m
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 187
Deferred income: ▲9%; Now £2.3m
Fixed assets: ▼18%; Now £723k

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