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: ▼7%; Now £2.6m
Cash at bank: ▼7%; Now £1.5m
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 28
Deferred income: ▼20%; Now £39.2k
Fixed assets: ▼23%; Now £1.1m

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