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: ▲10%; Now £2.7m
Cash at bank: ▼26%; Now £624k
Headcount: ▼16%; Now 67
Deferred income: ▲59%; Now £273k
Fixed assets: ▼16%; Now £1m

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