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: ▲40%; Now £2.5m
Cash at bank: ▲48%; Now £5.8m
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 36
Deferred income: ▼17%; Now £13.6m
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £795k

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