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: ▲9%; Now £17.8m
Cash at bank: ▲76%; Now £10.1m
Headcount: 0%; Now 177
Deferred income: ▲60%; Now £878k
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £8.3m

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