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: ▼1%; Now £2.3m
Cash at bank: ▼70%; Now £447k
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 103
Deferred income: ▼45%; Now £958k
Fixed assets: ▲4%; Now £2.7m

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