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: ▲36%; Now £10.1m
Cash at bank: ▲65%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 82
Deferred income: ▲5%; Now £124k
Fixed assets: ▲18%; Now £15.2m

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