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: ▲32%; Now £3.5m
Cash at bank: ▼49%; Now £156k
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 70
Deferred income: ▲64%; Now £155k
Fixed assets: ▲40%; Now £4.4m

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