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: ▲9%; Now £9.8m
Cash at bank: ▲7%; Now £11.7m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 225
Deferred income: ▲118%; Now £4.3m
Fixed assets: ▲2%; Now £1.1m

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