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: ▲43%; Now £6.8m
Cash at bank: ▲329%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 117
Deferred income: ▲5%; Now £296k
Fixed assets: ▼12%; Now £1.9m

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