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: ▲16%; Now £6m
Cash at bank: ▲36%; Now £123k
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 599
Deferred income: ▲112%; Now £3.6m
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £25.9m

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