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: ▲7%; Now £3.7m
Cash at bank: ▼3%; Now £1.3m
Headcount: ▼10%; Now 164
Deferred income: ▲33%; Now £193k
Fixed assets: ▼6%; Now £2.7m

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