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: ▼8%; Now £13.2m
Cash at bank: ▲33%; Now £526k
Headcount: ▼9%; Now 90
Deferred income: ▼44%; Now £168k
Fixed assets: ▼9%; Now £5.6m

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