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: ▲35%; Now £4m
Cash at bank: ▲192%; Now £1.5m
Headcount: ▲9%; Now 60
Deferred income: ▲21%; Now £1.6m
Fixed assets: ▲41%; Now £2.3m

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