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: ▲3%; Now £11.1m
Cash at bank: ▲27%; Now £5.2m
Headcount: 0%; Now 33
Deferred income: ▲16%; Now £758k
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £1.3m

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