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: ▲8%; Now £6.8m
Cash at bank: ▲117%; Now £2.6m
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 28
Deferred income: ▲14%; Now £342k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £2.5m

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