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: ▲3%; Now £6.6m
Cash at bank: ▲3%; Now £4.3m
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 34
Deferred income: ▼34%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▼21%; Now £15m

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