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: ▲19%; Now £7.9m
Cash at bank: ▼5%; Now £7.9m
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 61
Deferred income: ▼6%; Now £3.4m
Fixed assets: ▲12%; Now £544k

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