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: ▼5%; Now £2.9m
Cash at bank: ▲27%; Now £367k
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 57
Deferred income: ▼10%; Now £153k
Fixed assets: ▲12%; Now £7.1m

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