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: ▼57%; Now £1.1m
Cash at bank: ▲9%; Now £447k
Headcount: ▼9%; Now 30
Deferred income: ▼26%; Now £683k
Fixed assets: ▲203%; Now £83.3k

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