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 £48m
Cash at bank: ▲2071%; Now £1.3m
Headcount: ▲14%; Now 8
Deferred income: ▲207%; Now £291k
Fixed assets: ▲35%; Now £46.5m

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