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: ▲9%; Now £3.9m
Cash at bank: ▼99%; Now £2.2k
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 127
Deferred income: ▲13%; Now £163k
Fixed assets: ▼13%; Now £9.4m

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