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 £6.7m
Cash at bank: ▲15%; Now £4.9m
Headcount: ▲13%; Now 68
Deferred income: ▼2%; Now £318k
Fixed assets: ▲3%; Now £3.2m

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