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 £18.1m
Cash at bank: ▲29%; Now £2.5m
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 398
Deferred income: ▼2%; Now £157k
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £18.2m

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