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: ▲12%; Now £10.6m
Cash at bank: ▲8%; Now £152k
Headcount: ▲14%; Now 89
Deferred income: ▲40%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▲11%; Now £8m

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