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: ▼30%; Now £2m
Cash at bank: ▲237%; Now £128k
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 95
Deferred income: ▲39%; Now £703k
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £5.3m

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