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: ▲30%; Now £35.3m
Cash at bank: ▼100%; Now £0
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 120
Deferred income: ▲21%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▼10%; Now £1.3m

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