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: ▲68%; Now £946k
Cash at bank: ▲263%; Now £354k
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 46
Deferred income: ▲39%; Now £321k
Fixed assets: ▼6%; Now £219k

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