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: ▲204%; Now £3.1m
Cash at bank: ▲1511%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: ▲14%; Now 113
Deferred income: ▼14%; Now £3.7m
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £715k

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