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: ▲19%; Now £23.2m
Cash at bank: ▲37%; Now £4m
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 119
Deferred income: ▲1%; Now £110k
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £18.9m

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