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: ▼0%; Now £9.2m
Cash at bank: ▲172%; Now £4.1m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 45
Deferred income: ▲85%; Now £865k
Fixed assets: ▲56%; Now £3m

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