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: ▲23%; Now £817k
Cash at bank: ▼4%; Now £643k
Headcount: ▲22%; Now 56
Deferred income: ▲1%; Now £149k
Fixed assets: ▼50%; Now £149k

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