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: ▲10%; Now £4.5m
Cash at bank: ▲90%; Now £759k
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 65
Deferred income: ▲2%; Now £410k
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £249k

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