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: ▼8%; Now £4m
Cash at bank: ▲27%; Now £338k
Headcount: ▼9%; Now 58
Deferred income: ▲5%; Now £124k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £3.4m

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