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: ▲9%; Now £7.6m
Cash at bank: ▼27%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 61
Deferred income: ▼4%; Now £609k
Fixed assets: ▼15%; Now £514k

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