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: ▼70%; Now £3.6m
Cash at bank: ▼68%; Now £529k
Headcount: ▼15%; Now 137
Deferred income: ▲9%; Now £461k
Fixed assets: ▼12%; Now £5.3m

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