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: ▲9%; Now £13.7m
Cash at bank: ▲2%; Now £15.2m
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 94
Deferred income: ▲128%; Now £1.9m
Fixed assets: ▼9%; Now £1.4m

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