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 £13.2m
Cash at bank: ▼19%; Now £702k
Headcount: ▲19%; Now 105
Deferred income: ▲78%; Now £1.5m
Fixed assets: ▲696%; Now £5.9m

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