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: ▲45%; Now £14.7m
Cash at bank: ▲110%; Now £6.6m
Headcount: ▲18%; Now 245
Deferred income: ▲93%; Now £4.3m
Fixed assets: ▲244%; Now £701k

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