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: ▼28%; Now £579k
Cash at bank: ▼40%; Now £18.9k
Headcount: ▼11%; Now 99
Deferred income: ▼5%; Now £430k
Fixed assets: ▲9%; Now £1m

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