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: ▲15%; Now £3.2m
Cash at bank: ▲39%; Now £3.7m
Headcount: 0%; Now 2
Deferred income: ▲844%; Now £205k
Fixed assets: ▼15%; Now £1.7k

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