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: ▼33%; Now £4.8m
Cash at bank: ▼72%; Now £525k
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 74
Deferred income: ▼38%; Now £1.5m
Fixed assets: ▲15%; Now £5.2m

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