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: ▼19%; Now £7m
Cash at bank: ▼18%; Now £2.8m
Headcount: ▼17%; Now 75
Deferred income: ▲84%; Now £689k
Fixed assets: ▼11%; Now £8.5m

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