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 £1.6m
Cash at bank: ▲158%; Now £657k
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 174
Deferred income: ▼2%; Now £268k
Fixed assets: ▼16%; Now £2.7m

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