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: ▼7%; Now £3.9m
Cash at bank: ▲6%; Now £598k
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 103
Deferred income: ▲271%; Now £543k
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £2.2m

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