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: ▲8%; Now £28.2m
Cash at bank: ▲24%; Now £20.8m
Headcount: 0%; Now 12
Deferred income: ▼3%; Now £314k
Fixed assets: ▼18%; Now £8m

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