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: ▲17%; Now £2.2m
Cash at bank: ▲12%; Now £270k
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 42
Deferred income: ▼28%; Now £351k
Fixed assets: ▼10%; Now £69.7k

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