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: ▲46%; Now £4.6m
Cash at bank: ▲72%; Now £1.1m
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 119
Deferred income: ▼44%; Now £783k
Fixed assets: ▼19%; Now £724k

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