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: ▼2%; Now £4.2m
Cash at bank: ▼53%; Now £982k
Headcount: 0%; Now 16
Deferred income: ▼62%; Now £158k
Fixed assets: ▲115%; Now £322k

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