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: ▲25%; Now £1.1m
Cash at bank: ▼51%; Now £321k
Headcount: 0%; Now 16
Deferred income: ▼11%; Now £21.3k
Fixed assets: ▲9%; Now £156k

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