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: ▲20%; Now £15.4m
Cash at bank: ▲78%; Now £6.4m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 248
Deferred income: ▲3%; Now £940k
Fixed assets: ▼5%; Now £10.6m

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