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: ▲63%; Now £10.4m
Cash at bank: ▲48%; Now £2.1k
Headcount: ▲16%; Now 137
Deferred income: ▲132%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▲10%; Now £2.4m

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