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: ▼3%; Now £9.9m
Cash at bank: ▲9%; Now £1m
Headcount: ▲19%; Now 37
Deferred income: ▲8%; Now £467k
Fixed assets: ▼20%; Now £5m

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