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: ▲31%; Now £12.1m
Cash at bank: ▼39%; Now £568k
Headcount: ▲11%; Now 63
Deferred income: ▲42%; Now £1.4m
Fixed assets: ▲4%; Now £558k

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