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: ▲14%; Now £6.4m
Cash at bank: ▲17%; Now £5.6m
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 55
Deferred income: ▲27%; Now £727k
Fixed assets: ▲6%; Now £1.6m

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