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 £9.6m
Cash at bank: ▼33%; Now £3.2m
Headcount: ▼16%; Now 61
Deferred income: ▼17%; Now £513k
Fixed assets: ▼6%; Now £9.8m

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