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: ▲1%; Now £1.5m
Cash at bank: ▼49%; Now £859k
Headcount: ▲13%; Now 125
Deferred income: ▲3%; Now £938k
Fixed assets: ▲37%; Now £203k

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