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: ▲15%; Now £19.3m
Cash at bank: ▲13%; Now £7.8m
Headcount: ▲15%; Now 15
Deferred income: ▲74%; Now £80.6k
Fixed assets: ▲18%; Now £256k

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