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: ▲8%; Now £7m
Cash at bank: ▼0%; Now £217k
Headcount: ▲17%; Now 56
Deferred income: ▼52%; Now £313k
Fixed assets: ▲57%; Now £522k

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