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: ▲13%; Now £5.5m
Cash at bank: ▼22%; Now £324k
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 180
Deferred income: ▼7%; Now £402k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £4.1m

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