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: ▲16%; Now £5m
Cash at bank: ▲37%; Now £1.4m
Headcount: 0%; Now 5
Deferred income: ▼56%; Now £459k
Fixed assets: ▼16%; Now £539k

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