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: ▲59%; Now £11.8m
Cash at bank: ▲33%; Now £2.6m
Headcount: ▲18%; Now 125
Deferred income: ▲51%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▼25%; Now £485k

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