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: ▼13%; Now £5m
Cash at bank: ▲49%; Now £1.4m
Headcount: ▼9%; Now 81
Deferred income: ▲63%; Now £923k
Fixed assets: ▼9%; Now £3.3m

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