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: ▼22%; Now £11m
Cash at bank: ▼33%; Now £2.8m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 108
Deferred income: ▼15%; Now £198k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £3.7m

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