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: ▼10%; Now £5.3m
Cash at bank: ▲3%; Now £2.7m
Headcount: ▼11%; Now 25
Deferred income: ▼89%; Now £22.5k
Fixed assets: ▼12%; Now £254k

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