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: ▲16%; Now £11.7m
Cash at bank: ▲47%; Now £5.8m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 49
Deferred income: ▲184%; Now £126k
Fixed assets: ▲0%; Now £8m

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