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: ▲6%; Now £5.7m
Cash at bank: ▲1%; Now £2.1m
Headcount: ▲13%; Now 71
Deferred income: ▲414%; Now £232k
Fixed assets: ▲4%; Now £3.5m

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