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 £5.6m
Cash at bank: ▼34%; Now £682k
Headcount: ▲26%; Now 77
Deferred income: ▲3%; Now £181k
Fixed assets: ▲32%; Now £4.7m

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