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: ▲15%; Now £11.2m
Cash at bank: ▼3%; Now £4.7m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 30
Deferred income: ▼28%; Now £58.4k
Fixed assets: ▲17%; Now £4.5m

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