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: ▲1%; Now £1.9m
Cash at bank: ▲127%; Now £133k
Headcount: ▼12%; Now 81
Deferred income: ▼13%; Now £233k
Fixed assets: ▼17%; Now £882k

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