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: ▼6%; Now £3.7m
Cash at bank: ▲65%; Now £688k
Headcount: ▲13%; Now 43
Deferred income: ▼22%; Now £236k
Fixed assets: ▲10%; Now £1.8m

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