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 £3.1m
Cash at bank: ▼85%; Now £1.1m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 52
Deferred income: ▼51%; Now £3m
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £521k

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