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: ▲9%; Now £6m
Cash at bank: —; Now —
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 301
Deferred income: ▲97%; Now £531k
Fixed assets: ▼33%; Now £204k

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