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: ▲7%; Now £2.2m
Cash at bank: ▲3003%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: ▼5%; Now 70
Deferred income: ▲17%; Now £11.9m
Fixed assets: ▲3%; Now £14.9m

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