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: ▲89%; Now £4.9m
Cash at bank: ▼63%; Now £301k
Headcount: ▲22%; Now 129
Deferred income: ▲103%; Now £164k
Fixed assets: ▲7%; Now £13.3m

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