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: ▲39%; Now £12.3m
Cash at bank: ▲29%; Now £11.9m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 81
Deferred income: ▲18%; Now £3.3m
Fixed assets: ▲76%; Now £914k

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