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: ▲20%; Now £2.7m
Cash at bank: ▼7%; Now £275k
Headcount: ▲21%; Now 111
Deferred income: ▼1%; Now £40k
Fixed assets: ▲15%; Now £5m

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