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: ▲24%; Now £1.2m
Cash at bank: ▲26%; Now £828k
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 50
Deferred income: ▼35%; Now £560k
Fixed assets: ▼15%; Now £304k

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