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 £4.2m
Cash at bank: ▼3%; Now £778k
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 50
Deferred income: ▼39%; Now £80.6k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £3.2m

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