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: ▲21%; Now £6.3m
Cash at bank: ▲151%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 87
Deferred income: ▲210%; Now £1.5m
Fixed assets: ▲15%; Now £891k

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