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: ▲3%; Now £3.7m
Cash at bank: ▲212%; Now £2m
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 122
Deferred income: ▲84%; Now £919k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £2.6m

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