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: ▼11%; Now £3.6m
Cash at bank: ▼76%; Now £156k
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 89
Deferred income: ▲4%; Now £75k
Fixed assets: ▼16%; Now £1.6m

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