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: ▼10%; Now £1.3m
Cash at bank: ▼61%; Now £463k
Headcount: ▲23%; Now 296
Deferred income: ▲33%; Now £104k
Fixed assets: ▲32%; Now £4.9m

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