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: ▲25%; Now £7.3m
Cash at bank: ▲77%; Now £3.5m
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 86
Deferred income: ▲23%; Now £122k
Fixed assets: ▲0%; Now £2.4m

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