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 £6.3m
Cash at bank: ▲33%; Now £4.5m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 45
Deferred income: ▲1%; Now £458k
Fixed assets: ▼7%; Now £1.9m

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