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: ▲63%; Now £10.3m
Cash at bank: ▲64%; Now £17.3m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 45
Deferred income: ▲118%; Now £17.2m
Fixed assets: ▼91%; Now £38.7k

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