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: ▲31%; Now £1.6m
Cash at bank: ▼5%; Now £771k
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 53
Deferred income: ▲3%; Now £13.1k
Fixed assets: ▼31%; Now £133k

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