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: ▲28%; Now £3.5m
Cash at bank: ▲35%; Now £6.1m
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 53
Deferred income: ▲35%; Now £6.2m
Fixed assets: ▼7%; Now £1.7m

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