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: ▲101%; Now £7.1m
Cash at bank: ▼12%; Now £3.9m
Headcount: ▲38%; Now 18
Deferred income: ▲417%; Now £703k
Fixed assets: ▲11%; Now £1.5m

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