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 £30.8m
Cash at bank: ▲130%; Now £46.8m
Headcount: 0%; Now 40
Deferred income: ▲27%; Now £532k
Fixed assets: ▲17100%; Now £774k

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