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: ▼26%; Now £1.8m
Cash at bank: ▲6%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: 0%; Now 78
Deferred income: ▲594%; Now £118k
Fixed assets: ▲40%; Now £886k

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