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: ▲33%; Now £1.9m
Cash at bank: ▲120%; Now £429k
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 139
Deferred income: ▼68%; Now £620k
Fixed assets: ▲9%; Now £234k

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