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: ▼18%; Now £4.1m
Cash at bank: ▼37%; Now £19.1k
Headcount: ▼13%; Now 148
Deferred income: ▼16%; Now £1m
Fixed assets: ▼17%; Now £8.1m

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