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: ▲8%; Now £7.4m
Cash at bank: ▲152%; Now £903k
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 74
Deferred income: ▼49%; Now £9.6m
Fixed assets: ▼18%; Now £531k

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