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: ▲15%; Now £4.6m
Cash at bank: ▼0%; Now £2m
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 55
Deferred income: ▼5%; Now £542k
Fixed assets: ▲10%; Now £82.5k

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