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: ▲10%; Now £6.7m
Cash at bank: ▲13%; Now £3.6m
Headcount: 0%; Now 28
Deferred income: ▼26%; Now £62k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £2m

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