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: ▼87%; Now £177k
Cash at bank: ▲89%; Now £956k
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 150
Deferred income: ▲6%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £2.1m

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