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: ▲21%; Now £15.1m
Cash at bank: ▼44%; Now £229k
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 28
Deferred income: ▲15%; Now £640k
Fixed assets: ▲2%; Now £7.4m

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