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 £5m
Cash at bank: ▲357443%; Now £715k
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 69
Deferred income: ▲382%; Now £359k
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £4.7m

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