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 £7.5m
Cash at bank: ▲194%; Now £1m
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 34
Deferred income: ▼4%; Now £546k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £141k

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