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.

Cash at bank: ▲30%; Now £10.1m
Headcount: 0%; Now 1
Deferred income: —; Now £753k
Fixed assets: ▲331%; Now £776

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