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: ▲0%; Now £3.1m
Cash at bank: ▲17%; Now £2.8m
Headcount: ▲17%; Now 41
Deferred income: ▲63%; Now £667k
Fixed assets: ▲11%; Now £806k

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