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: ▲163%; Now £38.3m
Cash at bank: ▼62%; Now £852k
Headcount: ▲9%; Now 201
Deferred income: ▲28%; Now £4m
Fixed assets: ▲66%; Now £38.1m

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