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: ▲60%; Now £22.8m
Cash at bank: ▼16%; Now £5.5m
Headcount: ▲52%; Now 138
Deferred income: ▼91%; Now £802k
Fixed assets: ▲13%; Now £5m

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