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: ▲24%; Now £8.5m
Cash at bank: ▼0%; Now £2.1m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 313
Deferred income: ▲118%; Now £299k
Fixed assets: ▲4%; Now £29.5m

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