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: ▲20%; Now £13.6m
Cash at bank: ▲13%; Now £2.8m
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 261
Deferred income: ▲141%; Now £497k
Fixed assets: ▲7%; Now £7.7m

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