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: ▲6%; Now £2.4m
Cash at bank: ▲22%; Now £188k
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 49
Deferred income: ▼4%; Now £173k
Fixed assets: ▲9%; Now £878k

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