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: ▲37%; Now £9.9m
Cash at bank: ▲116%; Now £471k
Headcount: ▲14%; Now 146
Deferred income: ▼100%; Now £0
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £19.2m

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