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: ▲11%; Now £26m
Cash at bank: ▲247%; Now £5.9m
Headcount: ▲22%; Now 79
Deferred income: ▼84%; Now £70.5k
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £9.1m

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