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: ▲83%; Now £2.9m
Cash at bank: ▲36%; Now £8.1m
Headcount: ▲22%; Now 132
Deferred income: ▲5%; Now £5.9m
Fixed assets: ▼16%; Now £197k

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