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: ▼34%; Now £38.8m
Cash at bank: ▲6%; Now £2m
Headcount: ▲123%; Now 154
Deferred income: ▲60%; Now £5.3m
Fixed assets: ▼11%; Now £34.2m

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