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: ▲9%; Now £4m
Cash at bank: ▲2%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: 0%; Now 17
Deferred income: ▲7%; Now £243k
Fixed assets: ▲8%; Now £1.5m

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