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 £15.4m
Cash at bank: ▲31%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 40
Deferred income: ▲34%; Now £633k
Fixed assets: ▲26%; Now £9.5m

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