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: ▲7%; Now £13.8m
Cash at bank: ▲56%; Now £2.2m
Headcount: 0%; Now 73
Deferred income: ▲25%; Now £373k
Fixed assets: ▲4%; Now £12.3m

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