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: ▲23%; Now £6.4m
Cash at bank: ▲125%; Now £2.7m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 68
Deferred income: ▲31%; Now £1.7m
Fixed assets: ▲2%; Now £2.5m

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