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: ▲9%; Now £21.7m
Cash at bank: ▼15%; Now £5.3m
Headcount: ▲14%; Now 121
Deferred income: ▲55%; Now £3.2m
Fixed assets: ▲63%; Now £2.2m

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