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: ▲6%; Now £38.1m
Cash at bank: ▲82%; Now £2.9m
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 88
Deferred income: ▲26%; Now £805k
Fixed assets: ▼0%; Now £29.2m

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