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: ▲21%; Now £15.4m
Cash at bank: ▼37%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 74
Deferred income: ▲7%; Now £385k
Fixed assets: ▲25%; Now £17.7m

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