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: ▼19%; Now £3m
Cash at bank: ▲48%; Now £5.4m
Headcount: ▲77%; Now 62
Deferred income: ▼47%; Now £4m
Fixed assets: ▲162%; Now £98.7k

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