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: ▲24%; Now £5.5m
Cash at bank: ▲39%; Now £4.6m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 83
Deferred income: ▲235%; Now £14.3k
Fixed assets: ▲27%; Now £278k

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