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: ▲1%; Now £12m
Cash at bank: ▲96%; Now £824k
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 154
Deferred income: ▲12%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▲18%; Now £15.9m

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