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: ▼64%; Now £1m
Cash at bank: ▼15%; Now £146k
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 61
Deferred income: ▼39%; Now £45.8k
Fixed assets: ▼32%; Now £4.8m

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