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: ▲21%; Now £4.8m
Cash at bank: ▼65%; Now £588k
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 29
Deferred income: ▲11%; Now £934k
Fixed assets: ▲22%; Now £70.2k

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