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: ▼5%; Now £4.4m
Cash at bank: ▲171%; Now £567k
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 28
Deferred income: ▲37%; Now £23.3k
Fixed assets: ▼19%; Now £17.8k

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