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: ▲29%; Now £19.3m
Cash at bank: ▲21%; Now £2.4m
Headcount: ▲9%; Now 24
Deferred income: ▲66%; Now £102k
Fixed assets: ▲9%; Now £35.5m

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