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: ▲27%; Now £3.7m
Cash at bank: ▼96%; Now £2.1k
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 146
Deferred income: ▲0%; Now £243k
Fixed assets: ▲11%; Now £4.1m

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