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: ▼14%; Now £5.7m
Cash at bank: ▲223%; Now £8.2m
Headcount: ▲16%; Now 64
Deferred income: ▲113%; Now £2.4m
Fixed assets: ▲150%; Now £191k

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