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: ▲34%; Now £3.1m
Cash at bank: ▼11%; Now £2.5m
Headcount: ▲21%; Now 99
Deferred income: ▲13%; Now £397k
Fixed assets: ▼21%; Now £135k

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