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: ▲5%; Now £16.9m
Cash at bank: ▲14%; Now £7.5m
Headcount: 0%; Now 45
Deferred income: ▲2%; Now £775k
Fixed assets: ▼64%; Now £2.1m

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