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: ▲35%; Now £2.8m
Cash at bank: ▲119%; Now £2.6m
Headcount: ▲25%; Now 5
Deferred income: ▲13%; Now £305k
Fixed assets: ▼43%; Now £83k

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